Just A Matter Of Time, I Suppose

A meme created on February 7th, 2009 featuring a picture of the Watchmen character "The Comedian" uttering the phrase "Just A Matter Of Time, I Suppose" with yellow lettering above his head. The phrase originated from the beginning of the second trailer for the live action Watchmen film due out on March 6th, 2009. There is speculation that the meme's origins could date as far back as a month, but the first .jpg file occured when a newfag on /co/ went trolling and posted the phrase "If this isn't a meme in the next 12 hours, everyone dies." Multiple people reacted to the terrorism and it officially became a meme on February 8th, 2009 because nobody died and eventually it started showing up on other boards such as /b/. Some oldfags have called it the greatest meme of 2009 so far but others say that it is only around because every Zack Snyder film needs a meme. Whether this meme will survive is just a matter of time, I suppose.

a stitch in time saves nine

Deal with problems early do they don’t become bigger problems. If you sew up a small tear in your clothes straight away, the tear won’t grow into a bigger tear that requires more sewing later.

Used a couple of times

This is an expression seen quite often on places like Ebay or Craigslist, basically an alternative of "You might be able to use it at least one time... if you are lucky"

Slipknot is a waste of time

the kind of band that makes you want to blow your head off when you listen to it (the same goes for cradle of filth and the jonas brothers). Fans of slipknot are usually around the ages of 13-14, and if they are older, than they still have the brain of a 13 or 14 year old child for listening to such a twat band. Slipknot is the direct cause for faggots in the world who think they are the most metal people in the world, when people who truly enjoy real metal don't pay attention to how high on the metal scale you are, and really try to find people who listen to metal so they can relate to them (in fact, as long as you don't listen to the blasphemy against odin of slipknot, trivium, as i lay dying, etc, there really is no metal scale. good music (thrash, black and death metal, especially thrash in my perspective) is made just to enjoy, not so you can join the cult of slipkNotagoodband and research stupid trivia knowledge about them, so you can impress your other slipknot fans at your weekly nu-metal circle jerk parties)


the point of all of this, is that if you listen to slipknot, you should grow some balls quick and listen to real music.

i don't mean to insult with that last one, because every one who likes good music had to go through that awkward stage in life where they listened to slipknot back in middle school. PLEASE DON"T GET STUCK IN THAT STAGE!!!! you will be respected way more once you ditch the slipknot shirt and the hot topic pants.
conversation 1, the wrong fan:
person 1: hey, what's up?
person 2: no one understands me. I like being unique because i listen death metal like slipknot, atreyu and korn, but i don't care what other people think because they aren't true maggots like us! you wanna go to hot topic after this and get some guy-liner?
person 1 was unable to answer, because he shot himself in the head with a 12 gauge after person 2's first sentence.


conversation 2, the right way:
person 1: hey, whats up?
person 2:THRASH!!!!
person 1:THRASH!!!!!!!!
