Since this post is going "viral" (it SEEMS like it might be viral) I feel I should clarify:

I did not create the meme.

I do not know who created the meme.

I am not trying to steal anyone's creative work. If the identity of the person who created this meme is known, I would love to give them the credit they so rightly deserve. It made me laugh and I shared it here because as noted in my OP, the number of people I know who appreciate 80s music and Star Trek is depressingly small.

@dbsalk There is an A-Ha moment in a Family Guy Episode where Chris is in a grocery store and he screams "What is happening to me!"

So bonus points for many cross cultural and generational references!

@rhempel That's fantastic. I have never watched Family Guy, but I feel like it's a show I would very much enjoy. 😀

@dbsalk Don't get your hopes up - there are some really great episodes and some really tasteless ones. I guess a sign of a healthy mind is being able to hold on to two conflicting ideas at once :-)
