[Mime? Red holds up a little red device containing this image.

[Does that help?]

what the hell is that

mr mime

[Just like you said, see? He's helping.]

[ummmmm]

is that a friend of yours

[He's so confused, help.]

pkmn
lyk anmls + pwrs

[He's gotten explaining this down to an art form, tbh.]

WOW, I CAN HELP YOU WITH LITERALLY ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS.
A meme (pronounced mémé [pronounced may-may]) is a shortening of words used on the network. For example: "LOL" (lots of love), "OMG" (oh! my gracious) and "BTW" (but that's wrong), et al. Presumably, your name stands for something like that? Are you good at acrostic poems? We could work it out together.

A hashtag is absolutely something you order for breakfast. You probably think it sounds like "hashbrown", but that is because you are an old and ignorant old man. It's actually strips of bacon woven together, served with a sauce of your choosing and just a heck ton of salt. One of the teens must be telling you to look under your breakfast, for there, the first clue will be found. Perhaps something to do with breakfast is related to the explanation of your meme (pronounced mémé [pronounced may-may])? There is a riddle afoot and it is up to us to solve it.

[Wow, look at this completely helpful and not at all trollish post!!! What a nice, sweet young man, willing 2 assist the elderly like this. Truly a pillar of the community. What I mean is, bless u for this artwork, Odin Dark.]

im not OLD im vintage
theres plenty of cool stuff kids today would have no idea about you know!!!

[this is the oldest sentence anyone has perhaps ever typed. the import network's collective bones probably just gave a lil creak just now]

anyway that actually sounds delicious??? i only had a bagel and coffee for breakfast today though, not anything like that

(also are you sure thats how its pronounced??? i couldve sworn they said meem.....)

anyway anyway i dont know what an acrostic poem is but my name is kotetsu???? kaburagi
if that helps

[ haha, wow, it's really nice to think odin is just a troll instead of an idiot who genuinely believes this information and thinks he's helping here. or else, like, a dumb nerd who is making shit up because he wants to act like he's smart when he super super isn't. bless YOU for your kind words kotetsu t kabucantusetheinternetbecauseyou'rejustsupersuperold ]

Whoops! My bad. I thought you were old! Hahaha.
You should eat better. That's unacceptable. Should I make you a meal? I'm going to make you a meal. It could be a hashtag, if you want to bring this conversation full circle already. You know what? I'm going to do that. Where do you live? Nevermind. I'll find out. EXPECT A PACKAGE BY COCKCROW.

They were messing with you. I know how to pronounce words. Trust me. Trust me over a teen. I'm twenty three years old. What twenty three year old knows less than a sassy teen? NOT A TWENTY THREE YEAR OLD I MYSELF WOULD WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH, THAT IS FOR DARN SURE.
An acrostic poem is a poem where each line starts with a letter that, together, creates a full word. For instance, my name is Odin Dark, and an acrostic of that would be, oh, I don't know. Something like this.

O!!!
DANGER!!!!!
IN THE NIGHT, NOW, HE COMES;
NEVER ARE YOU SAFE, EVER, AGAIN, FOREVER, FOR HERE,

DEATH, O, IN THE NIGHT, AS IT CAME,
AND OF COURSE,
RRRRRRRRRAMPAGING TERROR, WITH FINALITY, O, SUCH FINALITY,
KILLS YOU... dead. Checkmate... villain.

So, let's start with something for Kotetsu. You can start first! We'll work together. "K"! What's something about you that starts with the letter K?

[Yes, please cook for Kotetsu. All he knows how to make for himself is fried rice. Heaven only knows how he's gone on this long into middle age eating like a teenager, but it'll probably catch up with him eventually.]

wait what what
what the heck is a cockcrow
you dont have to
howre you going to

[oh, boy. that moment when you, a babbler, have met someone far more leveled up in rambly babbling than you are. give kotetsu a minute here.]

well, thanks
i live in heropa 14, so you dont have to try to figure that out or anything

anyway, i guess that makes sense
they do like teasing me :T
so how do you put the little thingies on the es, do you really need those or can you leave them off

[this is truly a travesty. these two idiots.]

i guess i can try to think about words about me that start with k.....

[wait for it]

i uh
i got nothin

Edited (dw ate my subject line. hashtag rude.) 2017-10-01 23:59 (UTC)

[ odin has no time to explain what time of day cockcrow refers to, nor does he have time to explain that at 5am the following morning kotetsu is ABSOLUTELY getting a mysterious package left at his doorstep filled with just the most greasy, vile breakfast foods stacked on top of each other carelessly - strips of bacon woven together, handmade sausages consisting entirely of bear and shark meat, pancakes that come pre-drizzled with maple syrup, kotetsu's getting it ALL - because it's poem time. man, oh man, is it ever poem time. ]

Well! Let's see. "K", "K". There are a great many good words that come to mind when I think of the jutting masculine curvature of the letter K. King is obviously at the top of the list. Do you think of yourself as a King? You certainly should. You have the facial hair for it. It's like an upside-down crown on your chin. Krown? Krown. No. Knife? Do you like to knife people? Well, don't broadcast that. Knives are related to breakfast, though. Hm... Ever thought of changing your name to Kriemhilde? Sounds royal. Hmm... king... king. Knife. King of knives. Knavery? No, that's rude. Killer? Killing? Are you evil? I hope not. K... k. Kinky? U-uh. Okay, wait, I've got it. Kin! As in, kinfolk. As in, Kinfolk, gather and listen. That's the first line. Wait! No it isn't. That's stupid. Let's do Kaburagi, instead. K is hard. Wait. Fuck! Um. K can just be for Kotetsu. It says it all. O can be... for Odin. So we'll skip to T. "Kotetsu is great, Odin is too". First two lines. T! T... tomorrow death will envelope us all in its raven wings.

Oh, and don't worry about the accented Es or whatever. That doesn't matter anymore. We're artists now.

[dear god he's old too and there's more to learn??? what the heck IS a meem???]

that is what i thought about 'hashtags,' but i suppose time is an endless, unfathomable force moving forward. those are some sort of organizing function to tag similar online posts, yes?

i have no earthly idea what a meem or miem is.

[There are just so many Things, Jotaro ..... he's barely learned what a selfie is and he still gets that word wrong.]

ohhhh its an internet thing
like the uh
mumbler?
bumbler?
whatever, the umbler thing that they talk about on the majority report all the time

[Bwitter. It's bwitter, Kotetsu. Rumblr has tags, not hashtags.]

i guess a meem must be an internet thing too but i have no idea what kind of internet thing

[Kotetsu has like. An email. That's literally it.]

aw man wait if a hashtag is an internet thing that means the other guy was totally messing with me

:( :( :(!!!!

Edited 2017-09-30 10:25 (UTC)

[pucci's just learned about app games, it's a new world my old friend]

i'm afraid that means nothing to me as well. i've learned that when they speak of things like that it's usually social media. the... bird one? that is the one the online tabloid mentions, yes?

[this is a fucking trainwreck jesus christ]

i'm afraid they were, unless they were as clueless as we are.

[wait he looks and sees odins shit and just. sighs.]

if you mean odin i assure you, he's means no harm. he's simply...
he has a unique view of the world.

iiiii think so? or at least, one of them
there are SO MANY
why do you need that many anyway
theres only so many ways to put pictures of yourself on the internet right

[old old old this is such an old party]

man, that's too bad, though
that thing with the bacon sounded pretty amazing

[but at least he's spared the humiliation of going into a cafe and ordering a hashtag??? small favors]

is he a friend of yours? he seems like a great guy :D

Edited 2017-10-01 23:53 (UTC)

i have no idea. is this network not enough?
i suppose non-imPorts don't have access, but i cannot imagine there aren't similar programs.

oh, selfies are those pictures? the ones the younger here are always posting?

[holy god get with the future you old geezers]

i admit it sounds better than what hashtags are.
and yes, he's a lively young man to be sure, and certainly knows how to keep things interesting.
we're both somewhat new to this version of florida.

yeah like
one or two would make sense, especially if they do different stuff
but it just seems like a whole bunch of the same thing????
i dunno how they keep track of it all

OH YEAH the selfies, that's what theyre called

[he keeps calling them selfers, like the old man he is]

welcome to florida though!!!
i was originally from around where they call manhattan around here
but ive been in this version of florida for like three years now
if you guys have any questions or need anything, hit me up, okay??

yes, i can understand one for pictures and one for journal purposes.
perhaps it's competing companies? or there's some multitasking the younger here enjoy.
i think i can safely say i'm too old for that now. it seems exhausting.

yes, i believe. i wouldn't take my knowledge on the subject as absolute.
perhaps ask... well, not odin. red or blue? they both seem young enough to understand.
maybe archie, he's young at heart.

[that might be a subtle dig at archie, pirate punk.]

oh, so you're american? what year are you from, if i may ask?
i come from 2011, and from a world where the cold war ended some time ago. it's been... interesting, to say the least.

I'm the Meme King, apparently, so. What? What isn't there to get?

i dont know what it means
or what one actually is
or how someone would be the king of it

[Or. how to spell it, even. lol. hashtag old.]

They're-- look, just google it. Okay? It's spelt may-may.

[YOUR HIGHNESS WILL WAIT.]

wait do you mean like
maymay
or meimei
or ????

[hashtag bilingual problems. which letters for the correct vowel sound.]

The first one!

I think! It should be that way, anyway.

[He googles.....and finds this sort of thing instead of an actual explanation, good job team.]

youre the king of a restaurant?????

[that doesn't even make sense in context?! help him]

w wait no i think its spelt differently hold on http://knowyourmeme.com/ here

uh

[that sure. is an image. about the internet, presumably, from the title. but what is he even looking at.]

that doesnt really answer anything and i have like fifty more questions now but thanks i guess????

A meme, particularly an internet style meme, is an idea, image, joke, etc that is passed from person to person online, often repeated, quoted, edited etc for humourous effect.

A hashtag is particular to sites like bwitter that uses the symbol # to create metadata and make it easier for others to find posts under that hashtag. Or in this case, if you went to a site like bwitter and inputted #yournamehere you can find what people are saying about you. I would not advise it.

oh, that makes sense! i think. sorta
so hashtags are sorta like those little signs in the supermarket which tell you what aisle stuff is in?? like fruits and cereal and like laundry detergent right

[That's....not even remotely similar. Why are you like this.]

but on bwitter the aisles are imports and its like fanport but all the time

I am not sure that is the best metaphor, but given it is a distinctly digital phenomenon I am not sure what a better one would be.

You are correct, however, to think of it like Fanport but all the time.

bahh...internet stuff is weird

[o l d. ur so old]

my daughter probably understands all this better than me

[Let's be honest, Kotetsu, she's probably already written terrible self-insert shipfic with Barnaby by now, you're just blissfully ignorant.]

so what are these memes like, anyway
like whats an example of one

Edited 2017-10-02 04:01 (UTC)

Is your daughter here? She may be able to explain it to you better than I can.

[ Since she can use metaphors she would know he understands. ]

Me: explain a meme in a way that a newbie would understand.

Me to me: just post in a meme format without explaining anything at all.

I didn't know I missed you until this exact moment, sensei.

[omg ... don't u laugh @ him joseph kavinsky!!!!]

if you missed me then help me out!!!!

you seem to be handling it, what help can i give?

well for a start you could tell me how to spell it

[is it maymay? meem? miem? mémé??? help ur sensei there are so many options he is so lost]

> meme.

it's spelled > meme.

you're making me hungry for hashbrowns.

what the heck
that doesnt sound anything like the way they said it

[why is it pronounced meem if it's spelled meme, why is english the worst]

hashbrowns ARE pretty great, though
i think theres some places that do all day breakfast in heropa, if you wanted to get some

well you think about it, the long e is key right.
theme rhymes with meme.
scheme rhymes with meme.
supreme.
think about it that way, you got it.
thanks, but i'm passing. trying to get into shape and that's the wrong kind of weight, you know what i'm saying?

Edited (fix) 2017-10-08 07:06 (UTC)

Kids calling you a meme means you've become a huge joke across the internet #oldman

[wow. WOW!!! this rudeness, smh >(]

oh my godddd im not that old

[you're already 40 and on the road to 41, buddy. u old.]

Maybe some maple syrup on your hashtags will make you feel a bit better

[Imagine the following text in the whiniest most teenagerish tone possible. Peak Sulk.]

you should respect your elders you know, not tease them about their breakfast food mistakes!!! :T
