Justin Bieber was Saved by the Bell!

Your mind is about to be blown, what with this 'mind blowingly meta' post from Jade! Once again, we see an instance of celebrities enjoying their spot in the meta limelight. This might just be a pattern.

Tiffani Thiessen And Justin Bieber Create A “Saved By The Bell” T-Shirt Vortex

It all started when Justin Bieber wore a Kelly Kapowski T-shirt to the MuchMusic Video Awards. Shortly after, Tiffani Amber Thiessen, who of course played Kelly on “Saved by the Bell,” decided to wear a Justin Bieber T-shirt to the premiere of “Horrible Bosses.” “I’m just trying to show the love back,” said Tiffani. “He’s adorable.” [NY Mag]

But things got way, way, way more meta from there…

Over the weekend, Dustin Diamond, aka Screech, showed up to an event wearing a T-shirt of Tiffani wearing a T-shirt of Bieber wearing her T-shirt.

Then Mario Lopez rocked a tank top featuring Dustin wearing the T-shirt of Tiffani wearing the T-shirt of Justin. [Buzzfeed]

Then, Dennis Haskins, better known as Mr. Belding, showed up to an event wearing a T-shirt of Zach Morris wearing a T-shirt of Mario Lopez wearing a T-shirt of Dustin Diamond, etc, etc, etc. [Buzzfeed]

And in the final level of meta—maybe?—we get Max of The Max wearing a T-shirt of Mr. Belding wearing a T-shirt of Zach Morris wearing a T-shirt of Mario Lopez wearing a T-shirt of Dustin Diamond wearing a T-shirt of Tiffani Amber Thiessen wearing a T-shirt of Justin Bieber wearing her T-shirt. [Buzzfeed] And thus a meme is internet meme is born.

The meta-cokebottle

Here's the weekend blog, folks - I'll be gone for two days. Story below brought to you by Richard Lyon, father and meta-nerd.... * My first exposure to meta, besides meta-physics, which I took to mean religion, and therefore not nearly as interesting as physics, was the meta key on keyboards at the MIT AI Artificial Intelligence lab in the late 1970s. They had invented this moby text editor called "emacs" (according to its radical inventor rms, NOT named for the nearby Boston ice-cream shop, Emack & Bolio's , which was named for a couple of homeless guys , even if the text justifier "bolio" was so named). Emacs used what we call "control" or "modifier" keys to control its actions; but "ctrl" was not enough--no, they also had super, meta , and hyper, not to mention front, shift, and top on their space-cadet keyboards . Typical long-form commands were like "meta-x query replace"; here the text "qu...

UPDATED: A tattoo of Tattoo!

This is a tattoo of Tattoo, Mr. Roarke's midget assistant from the show Fantasy Island . Played by Herve Villechaize. No, I had never heard of Tattoo either. It's probably a generational thing. I've included a video of the real Tattoo, for reference. See below.. AWESOME UPDATE!!** The fellow whose arm this is commented below, sharing his story about the tattoo with the world. Thanks Joey! Joey said... "That's my arm you got up there =). The story behind this is my dad asked me why I get tattoos. I told him because I love art. I asked him if he would ever get one. Being the smart ass he is he said "I would get a tattoo of Tattoo from Fantasy Island". I thought that was brilliant and since I have tattoos for my mother, grandmother's and past ex's, I thought it would be nice to get something for the man that raised me. Here's to you Pop"

Dear world, what IS meta?

Hi. My name is Susan and I decided to start a blog about things that are meta, in between the other things that I do (work; drink; sleep; eat; zumba). It has been pointed out to me already that if I were truly being meta, I would start a blog about blogs. But alas, that has already been done. For context, please note that my use of the word meta tends to drive my ex college roomie a bit crazy, as she is a bona fide philosphy major who actually knows what meta means. She didn't like it then [when we tried to create a 'metaism of the day' #MOD hashtag on twitter], and she probably doesn't like it now [that I am creating a blog two years later]. To that end, and to get this blog started off on the right (or less wrong) foot, I have commissioned an introduction to the word 'meta' by philosophy expert, sports journalist, and meta expert herself, Rachel Orland. Her guest entry is as follows, and please note that any and all reader contributions on viewing life th...
