Well, the contest didn't go as well as hoped. It's my fault for holding it right before the holidays. It can't be from a lack of ideas. Everyone did so well in the "Batman Slapping Robin" meme contest so I figure being patronizing wouldn't be a problem for MemeHivers.
I hope it was the holidays. I changed the kind of prizes offered. Was offering delegations rather than liquid Hive the factor? Please provide feedback in the replies.
Prizes will be sent out shortly after this posts. Here are winners:
1st Prize Winner - 50 HP delegation for 1 month + 20,000 MEME

What do you mean, "Don't I get more for having the best Wonka meme?" You were told what the contest prize would be. It's not like I am going to turn control of MemeHive over to the winner and retire. I am not some sociopathic commie hippie. Only one of those things is true about me.
Now, sign this legal declaration that you were solely responsible for violating national defense airspace in a glass elevator.

When I was a kid I started to notice that the social subjective and retail value of Christmas presents from Santa seemed to be strongly correlated with the economic status of the kids' families.
Then I learned the truth as an adult. Santa is a time traveler named Stan Clane.

If caffeine were discovered today it would be highly regulated. Nobody would be allowed to put that white powder stimulant in drinks. I know that from watching a Sliders episode about a prarllel world and bootleg coffee.
Big Coke is insidious.

Anyway, somebody told the Oompa Loompas that they could make more money monetizing their talent on TikTok so now the Chinese are exploiting them rather than me. I have ChatGPT so they are replaceable.
Oompa Loompas doompadee-dee,
If you did't post, it's a tragedy!
Condescending Wonka awaited your jest,
You didn't share your memes, you didn't give it your best!
In the factory of memes, where laughter never ends,
The Wonka's judging eyes, on memes he depends.
But one sad soul neglected, to post their meme with glee,
Now they're lost in meme-less shadows, oh woe is he!
Oompa Loompas doompadee-dee,
Missed the deadline, oh what a decree!
Condescending Wonka won't be amused,
In MemeHive, your absence is excused.
The MemeHive echoes with laughter and cheer,
But the absent meme-maker sheds a lonely tear.
For Condescending Wonka, with his sassy grin,
Awaits the meme that never could begin.
