39 Memes All in a Line

We often have to wait in lines to get what we want. This Friday, I woke up at 4 AM, took the subway down to Midtown Manhattan, and sat on the concrete for four and a half hours to get the opportunity to buy some $43 Broadway tickets. Some of you might think that is absurd, but I can recognize a good deal when I see one. I wasn't even the first person in that line; there were two more suckers in front of me. I waited around the same amount of time (or at least as long as the first Avatar movie) to ride Avatar: Flight of Passage at Disney World, and it was worth every minute. We've gotten so used to getting things quickly online that we've lost our ability to withstand long wait times in person. If you can't wait any longer, it's time to scroll through this 39-deep line of memes.
