Recently on BBC Radio 4 they have been playing trails for a program on the Plantagenets.  In one trail a voice says - quietly, softly, but with infinite menace, "There has to be blood!"
Mrs H and I have made it into a family joke and go around doing the clawed hands and the manic eyes whispering There has to be blood.   Now it's spread to There has to be coffee  or There has to be yoghurt.  And it's spreading among our friends.
What can we do to stop this ghastly meme taking over the whole of Herefordshire - nay, the world?
Any suggestions?  Please?   :eeksign:

It sounds a perfectly useful meme. I think you should continue to promote it. I shall start using it immediately. Those Plantagenets knew a thing or two.

Hmm.   Sounds like a great thing to me.   There has to be beer!   Yep, it seems to work really well.

I don't hold out much hope. Once when my family was at a (reasonably upmarket) restaurant the overworked waitress inquired about the fish course in a spectacularly grumpy voice, "Do you want the fish"?  Ever afterwards that was the response when a family member said or did something ungraciously.

My circle loved the frustrated statement of a server who kept returning to our table to announce that each successive chocolate dessert was, in fact, sold out. In desperation, he tried to interest me in Key Lime pie; when I demurred he snarked, "Ma'am, I cannot force the fruit upon you!"



There must be chocolate...

But what is the position taken by, respectively, pirates, ninjas, lolcatz and lesbian stripper girlfriends on this new meme? Has it been duly approved?
