This is the first part of my Better Know a Meme series. When traveling in the World Wide West, anyone without a good knowledge of common memes may quickly become lost. Always keep a trusty handbook with you to quickly look up those memes before they can do something terrible to you (mental and emotional scarring being the most common types of injury). One of the easiest places to find out about memes is www.knowyourmeme.com and approximately most of his post is going to come from information found there.
Today's meme: Longcat. The meme stems from a picture of an exceptionally long cat captioned: "Longcat is looooooooooooooooooooong." It is claimed that Longcat's length is so long that he cannot be measured, but this is believed by many to be an exaggeration. As with most memes, this one originated on 4Chan. Longcat has a mythology which has been mixed a bit with Ceiling Cat's. In the above picture, Longcat is on the right and Tacgnol, his mortal enemy, is on the left. Some believe that they fight eternally, while others believe that one or the other will be defeated in the apocalypse. I'm not really concerned with the mythology; I'm much more interested in the pretty picture.
