If you spend any amount of time on the internet, chances are that you’ve seen the “Evil Kermit” memes (if you have no clue what I’m talking about, here’s some context).

If you have your own to add, you can check out the Evil Kermit meme generator here. Feel free to post the image link below, or otherwise just the “Me” and “Also Me” text, and maybe I’ll do a follow-up post with some of the best submissions from you guys.
