A Quick Chat With A Swampy Fan

Today we talked with Dolores, who leads a double life as a reporter with WUFT-TV and a UF student meme-queen. The discussion included the politics of Swampy memes, favorite meme creators, memes she's personally made, etc. But for the purpose of the blog the answer I included was a rather simple and straightforward one. What are your favorite memes on the page?
