Twitter is a bad place to do a lot of things, like "have a nice conversation" and "not get harassed." But it remains a good place to make corny jokes, especially if they are about Keanu Reeves.

In the past few days, people have started tweeting out all kinds of riffs on Keanu's name, which is easy to do because "Reeves" rhymes (and almost rhymes) with a lot of words. It's the latest meme to arise from his well-deserved resurgence in internet culture, and it probably won't be the last. The "Keanu walking to music" meme is really hard to beat, though.
