Memepool was a multiple-author weblog, active from 1998, that listed links to interesting, obscure, weird, or funny items on the web along with a bit of commentary. Items often included multiple links with contents that conflict or comment on each other, similar to the sarcastic stylings of Suck.com.
Memepool was founded in 1998 by Joshua Schachter and a number of the early contributors, making it one of the earliest weblogs. It was also one of the most popular early weblogs, with a reputation for strange and surprising links. It was maintained by Schachter and Jeff Smith. Schachter's links collected for Memepool were the predecessor of a project that later became del.icio.us.
Unlike many weblogs, Memepool had no significant element of self-revelation by its authors. Memepool did not have a commenting system, but many of its links came from emailed submissions from readers.
On March 26, 2012, Memepool had its first posting since April 21, 2008, marking the longest hiatus in the blog's history. The site has been unavailable since at least December 14, 2013.
Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue
Oh Mammy Blue
Je suis partie un soir d'été
Sans dire un mot sans t'embrasser
Sans un regard sur le passé, passé
Dès que j'ai franchi la frontière
Le vent soufflait plus fort qu'hier
Quand j'étais près de toi ma mère, oh ma mère
(I left on a summer night
Without saying a word without kissing you
Without a look at the past, past
As soon as I crossed the border
The wind was blowing harder than yesterday
When I was near you mother, oh my mother)
Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue
Oh Mammy Blue
La maison a fermé ses yeux
Le chat et les chiens sont très vieux
Et ils viennent me dire adieu, adieu
Je ne reviendrai plus jamais
Dans ce village que j'aimais où tu reposes
À tout jamais, désormais...
(The house has closed its eyes
The cat and the dogs are very old
And they come to tell me goodbye, goodbye
I will never come back
In this village that I loved where you rest
Forever, from now on... )
Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue
