I pronounce it "dog-eh". There was a video game I played where there was someone with a title of "doge" pronounce "do-wj" (like "dojo" without the "o" on the end).
So whenever I see "doge" I think of it like some kind of title, like a sultan.

Correctly. Doges were rulers of medieval/renaissance Venice.

Memes as they are in modern parlance have been popular for a very, very long time. "Kilroy was here" was a meme back in World War 2. As for internet memes, 9000!!!!!!!!! Nine Thousand!!!!!!!!! went memetic in 2006. All Your Base was around the turn of the millennium. Pwn is such an old meme that it's become English.

I usually don't have a problem with memes, but for some reason I wish that doge would go die in a hole. It irritates me immensely and I'm not sure why :X

When I see Doge I think of Machiavelli the Prince.  Anyone remember that game?

I actually like the doge meme, because it has made people accustomed to me being able to increase my economy of words effectively.

Instead of "I am irritated by you" it is now just "much annoy" and they get the message.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
