Really, after reading the last pages, I wish, that thread would have been broken after 5.000 posts!

What's wrong with post #6?

As i allready explained that a dot can be used as a reminder of the thousand after you made that same joke on one of my posts, i take this as intented misinterpretation against better knowledge. No +1 for you, kid.

The real question is: what are postspostpospop?

Being lame isn't the same as being unlovable.  The point to take is that Anakin has both merits and flaws, which is the underlying theme and continuous metaphor for the entire series.  There are parts of him that are good and parts that are not good, and his downfall is forsaking the good and embracing the not good, which is a gradual fall from grace enabled by his overly emotional nature.  His emotions are always in conflict, and he doesn't understand them.  He doesn't really understand love or have a realistic expectation of what it might entail.  Forced metaphors and cheesy lines are telling, here.

Anakin has no redeemable qualities. None.

...

I'm uncertain whether you watched the movies.

That sounds legitimately dangerous though.  The meme is supposed to be for things that aren't actually dangerous...

It's not riding-a-hippopotamus dangerous.  It's just Dominion.

...it is?  But... that wouldn't make sense with the picture.  Or the original intent of the meme...

Know Your Meme says "mildly risky".  In the context of Dominion, Princing a Remake is more than mildly risky.

From what i know about the meme, most of the time he comments on ridiculously un-dangerous things like putting Q-Tips in your ear even though it says not to do so on the box, or removing an USB stick without disconnecting it first. In the movie on the other hand, he does something that's not just dangerous but a forced loss. So i think the meme can be applied in a variety of ways.

By the way, i remember doing something like "I see you go for Rebuild on a Shelters board", which sparked a pretty similar discussion.

I think the meme is perfect because anything you do within a game like Dominion isn't going to be actually "dangerous". The worst that can happen is it can cost you the game. This is exactly how the phrase was used in the movie. It's not that there's only a slight chance of the choice backfiring; it's that it's not that big of a deal if it does backfire.

That isn't the context, though.  The context is living.

"I rode a hippopotamus the other day."

"Ha, you should hear about the time I Princed Remake!"

I believe there are people that would dispute losing 10000$ (minimum bet) at a Blackjack table is "not that big of a deal".

Austin Powers would ride a hippopotamus with eyes closed, too.

The point is that the meme is working as intended.  "Ride the hippopotamus!" would be Insanity Wolf.  I suppose non-lethal insanity such as "Open Scout/Pearl Diver!" would also count as Insanity Wolf.
