, how does a 'Random Pic' differ from a 'meme' (using your definition)? Meme is a Random Pic with words?

Good question. I'll leave that up to someone more inteweb hip than I am.
IMO, usually a picture with some level of mockery or irony that can be used as a response by itself to a thread, without additional words.
For example. If Glock does indeed come out with a single stack 9 this Friday, a Glock fanboy might not both with a complete response, just the "shut up and take my money" meme.

^This. "Meme" used to mean "an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture." Now, it has been hijacked to describe a random picture with words on it.

Umm meme images meet that definition perfectly. "594 would have prevented that" is a meme. Putting those same words on a picture of a disaster area is a meme. Michael Jackson eating popcorn is a meme... if you don't identify with a meme image, then it's probably not meant for your particular type of audience.
