a meme and a pun? Ambassador, you are spoiling us...
For a short while I professionally altered pictures for a living. I used my computer graphics background to develop an absolutely mastery over photoshop. I found b3ta and began to wield my powers of digital imagery magic.

Trouble is, I was too much of a maverick. I wanted to do new, avant garde things, and I resisted the current memes in favour of my own interpretative style. No matter the attempts to entice me into the particular image du choix, I resisted and went back to my own poncy ways.

and so I quit because I refused to maintain teh status quo...

Oh FFS.
I had to read that twice before I understood it.

I'm a bit slow this morning.

Chuckling now though.

Jeez! I got it.
After several minutes of smoke coming out of my ears due to brain strain, I finally got it. Phew!

pictures of Francis Rossi and Nick Parfitt laughing
are something of a B3ta meme. The name of the band they started in was "The Status Quo" later changed to just "Status Quo".

Thus, by staying in the traditions of the b3ta board you would be, on one hand be "maintaining the status quo" and on the other hand, in a clever twist of words, this would involve you constantly using that picture of the band Status Quo in your photoshopped images.

It's a pune, or play on words, as the great man once wrote.
