Whatever happened to David Foster Wallace, the meme? There once was a time /lit/'s catalog would always have threads memeing own and own about the guy and the water that this is.

Has John Green out-memed him?

I like it. Though I really did enjoy when Daveposting was rampant, and every other post on this board was a new fresh Wallace meme that I could gobble up and savor with ever growing delight, I do enjoy the newfound rarity, almost nostalgia, that is beginning to accompany the newer Dave posts. And that's not to say that Dave has completely died out (well he did, to be completely honest, but not in meme form at the very least), but there is a sense, at least to me, of warmth, of a deeper connection, when someone posts an HD pic from the meme interview of Dave, silly ol' Dave, making one of his funny faces, or someone subtley adds in a "this is water" into their post, or a "no discernable talent"...I'm reminded almost of a scene in The Pianist, where Szpillman, right before the tragic incident in which he is separated from his family, makes eye contact with one of the other Jews around him, and there is a sense of deep connection, a connection through pain and understanding, through an underlying bond that has been formed through all the experiences, mirrored, in this case, by the shitposts we all suffer through. Deep down, there exists a bond between us, made stronger by the harrowing winds of Green-posting, beaten but callused by the gnaws of Gass-posting...that triumphs, in it's subtle way, in the form of a Dave-post, a reminder of the golden past of memes. When I see that endearing photo of dfw-cringe, or dfw-surprised, I can't help but feel a sense of deep profundity underlying it. Yes, things will be okay, he seems to say from his beautiful foureyed face. Yes, I am still here, and I will always be here.
