I just realized that this guy took a new and diverse approach to asserting his superiority by judging my little joke on its' artistic merits.

Not all in the same week (not this week anyway), I mean just throughout my life. There are certain moments from my life that still make me cringe ten years later. (I'm of the opinion that you haven't lived enough if you don't have a few of those.) You can usually save yourself with a little self-deprecation, if you do it before they dog-pile you.

FYI, I emboldened the most important part.

Ok, so absolutely horrible picture aside, that's funny. I'm not sure exactly what doesn't 'click' for me about the OP's but it just doesn't quite. Maybe it's because I'm really not familiar with the meme.

I was kind of figuring you got the joke from somewhere but had just slapped together the picture in a couple minutes for the heck of it to be honest.

I try not to be snippy, sorry if I'm coming across that way. The tone I was hoping to carry over was more "bemused" than anything else. I guess we differ in some respects because I actually still think my joke was funny. I don't mind stupid, heck I have been known to indulge in serious in-depth conversations about meticulous creation and handling of fictional video game characters (and all of their pros, cons, and the like...) Silly keeps me content.

Well played.
