Having been on the internet since before there technically was an internet (I have fond memories of Usenet boards, and am still friends with people I met there, some of whom I’ve never actually physically met) and having a mind that attracts pop culture detritus like a ball of Silly Putty dragged through Legoland, I am occasionally caught unawares by a random meme. This is doubly difficult when my daughter can’t hear the word “lobster” without singing about how they stick to magnets. Thankfully, she doesn’t know anything about Honey Badger, Evil Bert or any of the other probably-inappropriate stuff that I’ve tried and failed to forget (as far as I know), leading to today’s YTMND query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) reminds Faithful Spoilerites never to put a lobster on a plate, for he will use his magnet to escape, asking: What your favorite inexplicably-still-in-your memory random meme?

Not sure if it counts, because its not really that random and its been around forever, but: Faces in things.
It absolutely counts…

Every once in awhile, I still catch myself singing …
“Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger Badger, Badger, Badger……”
MUSHroom!

The one that has several variations that make a lot of rounds on Facebook with prequel era Obi-Wan Kenobi mistaken for Jesus. Part of why it sticks in my head and makes me laugh so much is because I’ve had to REPEATEDLY explain to my grandparents, my mom, my sister and a few other relatives that it isn’t who they think it is.
I never thought I would ever have to utter the phrase “I don’t know what Bible you read, Grandma, but I’m fairly confident the son of God didn’t have a lightsaber” in my entire life.
