So live, that when thy summons come to join

To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust; approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the draper of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Oh, sure. Ruin our fun, Miss Long Sig! You can't force the death of a
catchphrase. It has its own natural path that it must follow. If you insist
on this, you will disrupt the balance of the entire universe. If the
delicate balance is upset, then the entire thing could collapse on our
heads. Everything would fall apart. All that would be left would be some
cockroaches, VH1, and alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer. Do you hear me? Is that what
you want? Surely you don't want the destruction of everything good in the
universe on your shoulders, do you?
Well? DO you?
I didn't think so.
Now then, if you really want to preserve the high quality of usenet humor,

You're right. It killed itself about three days ago. Now its ghost is
haunting me, whispering incoherent gibberish as I lie awake quivering at
night for fears of dreaming about Cats setting me up the bomb. Before much
longer all that I write will be written in mangled English the likes of

We should be so lucky. If killing a catchphrase were as easy as snapping one's
fingers, then, as far as I'm concerned, "WHASSSUUUUP?" would have died
stillborn.
> It has its own natural path that it must follow.
Observe, as previously recounted in my award-losing fifth-grade science fair
project:
THE LIFE CYCLE OF A CATCHPHRASE
BIRTH: The originating phrase occurs as a natural event, be it in a beer
slogan, movie trailer, or TV show.
STAGE ONE (the "Chrysalis" stage): The highest evolved participants on the
'Net hear it and pass it on, often maintaining an air of enviably tantalizing
obliquity. (RATMMer equivalent: Big Rob, swac, Jess)
STAGE TWO (the "Ubiquitous Pretty Butterfly" stage): The above folks' various
hangers-on, sycophants, and assorted co-conspirators hear it, pass it on, and
do their part to help run it into the ground, often without knowing or caring
about the original source. Talk-show hosts shout "Carpe Diem!" and incorporate
it into their nightly routines. (RATMMer equivalent: average RATMMer)
STAGE THREE (the "So Five Minutes Ago" stage): Newbies, just learning the
basics in Catchphrasing Handling techniques but often lacking some necessary
skills, fumble with it sometimes coming up with painful variations. Jay Leno
celebrates his one-month anniversary using it as monologue filler. Becomes a
staple in teen comedies. (RATMMer equivalent: rookies, Jonah Falcon)
STAGE FOUR: This stage is so below anyone's radar that it has no cutesy label
of its own. The catchphrase now largely exists only as the occasional reflex
reaction, though usually delivered with enough irony (funny or otherwise) to
discourage listeners from inflicting massive injuries upon the user. Newbies
shy away from it, fearing the possibility of looking UNKEWL. New commercials
appear which openly mock it. Dan Rather is seen using it with the utmost
sincerity. (RATMMer equivalent: everyone's killfile barnacles; cascades)
FINAL STAGE--Catchphrase Heat Death: At this point, the once-beloved
catchphrase has become Anti-Comedy, sullying and souring all within its
vicinity. Begins popping up regularly on sitcoms and in direct-to-video
movies. (RATMMer equivalent: spam; Ungvichian)
So this "ALL YOU BASE" thingamabob of which you speak (to which I can only
respond, "...the hell?") will die eventually. Fear not.

Why don't we just...
TEST these theories.
Think of how cool it would be if we could start a catchphrase, right here on
RATMM, and send it into the world. Think of how smug we'd feel when Regis
said it in an attempt to look hip, or it gets used in an ad campaign for
Burger King. The soulless demons that routinely eat our brain cells through
the lower entertainment mediums would be, collectively, drinking the
collective beer that we, RATMM, had collectively peed in. Collectively.
The way it works is simple. We start a catchphrase here, and then each one
of us performs a few choice tasks.
For example, let's say we select the following catchphrase:
MONKEY SUGAR
...to refer to anything that makes one physically satisfied.
Then we would each do this:
1) Use it somewhere on our webpage, in context but with absolutely no
explanation.
"I have some completely awesome photos of Jennifer Lopez on this site.
They're fucking monkey sugar, man. They're hot."
2) Use it in conversation with one different friend over the course of a
week, every week.
"Noah, did you see that girl's breasts?" "Monkey sugar, Ernie. Puuuure
monkey sugar."
3) Go to mtv.com, specifically here:
http://www.mtv.com/mtv/tubescan/trl/playmysong/index.jhtml
Select your favorite song from the TRL menu, and in the comment field write
something like "This ROOLZ! Totally MONKEY SUGAR!" (I have already completed
this task.)
If we all do this, for whatever phrase we cook up, I bet we'll be basking in
the idiot glow of it all within the year. Some crap indie band will have
some bad song named after it, and Bob Dole will go on SNL and use it during
some sort of Viagra skit.
The possibilities!

I know you don't care, but it seems to be about incoherent spam
that people are replying to. I can't say for sure, since all the
original spam posts are eaten by our server and never show up,
but based on people's reactions that seems the most likely explanation.
But what do you care; you're still drooling after that *smooch* you got.
Time to go through your pockets looking for loose change.

I don't believe it, but I actually did it. Even though I don't have a
favorite song. Even though I've never heard *any* of the songs listed.
Even though I only know of about six of the artists/bands on the page.
My personal belief is that most good music stopped being made on
February, 6 1976.

Well actually. . .
There's a rather horrible little trend in the video gaming circles lately.
It basically encompasses a little-known Genesis shooter game called Zero
Wing, which is most infamous for an introduction in English so mangled it
makes some of the early dubs of Japanese films seem coherent. The intro was
introduced to the general gaming public on a site known as Zany Video Game
Quotes, which finds some of the goofier examples of dialogue in video games
and posts screenshots of them. (A favorite site, actually. . . it's at
http://zanyvg.overclocked.org/ for anybody who's interested.) Anyway,
somebody made a music video of it, and suddenly quotes from it were
EVERYWHERE.
Suffice to say, it makes me ill just seeing it these days.

OK, here's a dumb question. Please keep in mind that I've had the
Martian Death Flu for the past week and haven't been able to keep up
the way I should have:
What is Zero Wing?
At this point, all I know is that the local catchphrases seem to have
melted down, and all grammar and syntax seem to be out of time and
place. And why did I miss this? Did I not pay my dues on time? Did I
sleep through the meteor shower? Is this just the natural result of
taking NyQuil and watching "Rocky Horror" to get to sleep last night?
What?

Sook-Yin is Chinese for monkey sugar, as luck would have it.
