Browsing friendsfriends, I found this description of a new meme.

(from TheoMachio)
How it works: Someone (me) posts a picture. Your mission is to reply post with a picture that "defeats" my picture. In turn, someone replies with a picture that defeats that one, and so on. So, for example, if I posted a map of France, someone could post a picture of Hitler, then someone could post a picture of FDR. Then someone could post a picture of the polio virus. Then someone co uld post a picture of Jonas Salk. The games goes until someone plays Jesus or Kevin Bacon.


Somehow this sounded more like a game to me (hey, Queue - another game that wouldn't require any materials). The first person starts with som ething (person/place/object, or possibly an idea, I suppose, in a variant version), and the other/next player names something that defeats it (see examples in the orginal description), until someone plays Moses (hey, I'm Jewish, I don't feel like having J esus be the ultimate) or [Hm. I don't know much at all about actors, so while Kevin Bacon is entertaining, I suppose, I'd never play him. Anyone have another end conditional to put here?].
I think if there are points at all, they're awarded for entertainment value/coolness, rather more like in the 10,000 Blank White Cards sort of game, rather than more traditional ones.
