    This thread is for those who don't read regularly and encounter a repeated phrase that's clearly a BBS meme, and are curious about the meaning or origin -- like the infamous "Kicking the Can" meme by DaDakota, last year. Or "Our ceiling is through the roof" Josh Smith 2015.

    Post Explanation or Request a Meme Background:
    Either post a meme with explanation (ideally the originated thread/post which makes it the funnest as the reader can see it develop), or post a Request for an explanation. Most will either be from a BBS Poster (often a typo run wild like pr0n) or a quote from a Rockets/NBA player, MDA, Morey, etc.

    2016-17 Examples:
    • "We Know our Rights" is BJ Armstrong,
      Source: can't remember

    • "Our ceiling is the Roof" is Michael Jordan talking to UNC fans. Apparently not knowing Josh had nearly the same quote.
      Source: MJ was at a UNC rally in the stadium. Josh was in interview, right? Ideally you'd post links to the actual first posts of these quotes made in the GARM/Dish

    • "Sturdy Player" is the poster ABS (may he rest in peace).
      BBS Source: anyone want to post a link to the first usage of Sturdy by ABS?
    I suppose the thread will go back in time to discuss the Comedy Gold memes of lore. Bonus Points for cataloging 2016-17 memes, though.

    Rockets are volatile from one season to another

    I think Mike can string together couple of good seasons, for now regular seasons

    Instant classic!
