I so hope I don't regret this.

I'm starting this thread in the hope that people can use it to have some innocent fun. It's for having some laughs and lightly poking fun, but no heavy polemics. Anything too polemical or nasty will go to the private forum.

So here goes:

Here's a link to a meme generator:

(Thank you, Alpo, for the link.)

From the Hyperdox Herman thread, here is Miaphysite Mina:

My genius nephew did some pictures for Armenian memes.

Here is Grumpy Armenian Cat:

Here is Grumpy Armenian Cat's cousin Sako:

The picture of Khor Virap Monastery and Mt. Ararat came from here:

What would Grumpy Cat look like with a veghar?

Salpy · « **Reply #4 on:** September 12, 2013, 01:56:13 AM »

I don't know...I'll have to think about that one. A cat in a veghar.

But we can have fun with Grumpy Der Hayr Cat:

I am awarding Miaphysite Mina a gold star for being the most awesome meme pic of the year.

Salpy · « **Reply #7 on:** September 12, 2013, 10:28:59 PM »

Miaphysite Mina is awesome. Some great memes were made with him in the Hyperdox Herman thread.

^ Actually, among the Armenians, the answer you would most likely get would be Sts. Nareg, Nerses, and Datev.

Oooo, look at you Armenians with your three fathers. Show offs.

Mor Ephrem · « **Reply #14 on:** September 13, 2013, 01:19:13 AM »

Does anyone know if the Miaphysite Mina picture is an actual photo or is it a composition from multiple images? I'm trying to imagine it as an actual moment in time caught on film, and I can't stop laughing. What a monk!

dzheremi · « **Reply #15 on:** September 13, 2013, 02:27:55 AM »

It is a real, not composite photograph. If I recall correctly, it was taken in the wake of the attack on the Abu Fana monastery a few years back. Not really a funny situation, if you think about it.

Mor Ephrem · « **Reply #16 on:** September 13, 2013, 02:31:15 AM »

Oh man, that sucks, I didn't know. I thought for sure it was a photoshop job.

But the guy in the background looks so chill.

It totally looks like a photoshop.

Grumpy Sako Cat again, but this time on Thanksgiving:

Mor Ephrem · « **Reply #20 on:** November 17, 2013, 08:40:31 PM »

That makes me sad. Why no turkey on Thanksgiving, Sako?!

Salpy · « **Reply #21 on:** November 17, 2013, 08:53:22 PM »

It's a nationalist thing.

I had a great-aunt who used to make lamb on that day.

hecma925 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 17, 2013, 09:00:47 PM »

Are there turkeys Armenia? What are they called there?

Asteriktos · « **Reply #23 on:** November 17, 2013, 09:08:21 PM »

Georgian Cat in this case...

What's a miaphysite gotta do to get an invitation up in here?

If Aunt Yeghsa were still with us, she'd love to have your feet under her table. You'd be so overfed by the time she was done with you...

The Armenian word for turkey (the bird) is "huntgahav." "Huntga" comes from "Hunteeg," which means Indian. "Hav" means chicken.

I have no idea if they have them in Armenia.

LOL! Hindu chicken!

Salpy · « **Reply #30 on:** November 17, 2013, 09:30:41 PM »

I never thought of that. Of course the "hunteeg" in this case refers to Native Americans, but the h-n-t root would have its origins with the word Hindu.

This just became more hilarious. Armenians celebrating Thanksgiving with lamb, because...Turkey! So don't cook Indian fowl!

In Syriac, "Indian" is "hendoo". As soon as I saw "hunteeg", I knew what was going on.
