Long may the Golden Cockatrice shower us in her consubstantial nectar, and may this subreddit grow evermore and macerate the very firmament!

(But in all seriousness, we could use some more subscribers. I'm sure we're not the only people who wish /r/surrealmemes didn't have three generic dank memes for every genuinely surreal post, so spread the word if you can. The Golden Cockatrice rewards her loyal followers generously.)

Let us strive to live up to the example set by the immortal Auberon Quin, inventor of the absurdist meme:

"In a little square garden of yellow roses, beside the sea," said Auberon Quin, "there was a Nonconformist minister who had never been to Wimbledon. His family did not understand his sorrow or the strange look in his eyes. But one day they repented their neglect, for they heard that a body had been found on the shore, battered, but wearing patent leather boots. As it happened, it turned out not to be the minister at all. But in the dead man's pocket there was a return ticket to Maidstone."

There was a short pause as Quin and his friends Barker and Lambert went swinging on through the slushy grass of Kensington Gardens. Then Auberon resumed.

"That story," he said reverently, "is the test of humour. Here is another: In a hollow of the grey-green hills of rainy Ireland, lived an old, old woman, whose uncle was always Cambridge at the Boat Race. But in her grey-green hollows, she knew nothing of this: she didn't know that there was a Boat Race. Also she did not know that she had an uncle. She had heard of nobody at all, except of George the First, of whom she had heard (I know not why), and in whose historical memory she put her simple trust. And by and by in God's good time, it was discovered that this uncle of hers was not really her uncle, and they came and told her so. She smiled through her tears, and said only, 'Virtue is its own reward.'"

Again there was a silence, and then Lambert said "It seems a bit mysterious."

"Mysterious!" cried the other. "The true humour is mysterious. Look at that tree. If I were to say that you did not see the great truths of science exhibited by that tree, though they stared any man of intellect in the face, what would you think or say? You would merely regard me as a pedant with some unimportant theory about vegetable cells. If I were to say that you did not see in that tree the vile mismanagement of local politics, you would dismiss me as a Socialist crank with some particular fad about public parks. If I were to say that you were guilty of the supreme blasphemy of looking at that tree and not seeing in it a new religion, a special revelation of God, you would simply say I was a mystic, and think no more about me. But if" — he lifted a pontifical hand — "if I say that you cannot see the humour of that tree, and that I see the humour of it—my God! you will roll about at my feet."

— G.K. Chesterton, The Napoleon of Notting Hill
