By late Monday afternoon my brain quietly clocks out and goes back to Saturday morning cartoons in pajamas. I was the kid who rooted for Tom over Jerry, and I still stand by it. We dig up classic memes every afternoon for exactly this slump, and yesterday’s trip through the vault is here if you missed it. Pour a glass of chocolate milk and settle in.

Another round of the best memes from the vault lands tomorrow afternoon, and yesterday’s meme dump is still up for anyone who worked through lunch. Last Monday’s dig has more viral tweets and old memes that somehow aged while nobody was looking. Share this with the friend who still owes you a VHS tape, they will know.
