It did flow out to other systems. I think it was briefly functioning in a variety of commenting systems (LiveJournal comes to mind). I think between this and the β€œdon’t talk about Joel vs Mike” thing that started in the MST3K usenet groups they might be among some of the earliest memes I can recall.

Were you on ICQ or mIRC? Because that is where it came from.

Image of a trout on a white background. The text below it says β€œWhack!
You've been whacked with a wet trout”. This refers to a joke action on the mIRC (Internet Relay Chat) reaction. One would type β€œ /me slaps <user> with a trout” and the chat systems would respond with β€œ<user> has been whacked with a wet trout.”

He needs to fuck all the way off. If we were still on the same message boards I would tell his stupid ass myself.

In the 38 years since I first picked up a Marvel comic because I found my uncle’s stash in my grandparents’ attic and became a solid forever fan it is one of the finest panels I have ever seen. And there were a lot of classics in that stash.

Holding you to this because this needs to exist. If I don’t see progress by this time next year, I am going to curse you with a Kevin Sorbo Cameo asking you why no progress. For both our sakes please don’t make me give that man money. At least a solid first act draft.

"Comic book panel gif from Marvel. The villain Sauron, a humanoid pterodactyl, faces Spider-Man and explains that he doesn't want to cure cancer, he just wants to turn people into dinosaurs. Spider-Man looks frustrated."

I found you on discover after having seen a talk about fungus beetles (for no reason other than it’s neat), over there talking about hoverflies, which I just like and grow stinky mint so I can watch them. Like bug creep with a camera.

The Spiders were very fun. Definitely check them out more deeply if you get a chance. WITCH too. Fascinating parts of music history and continuing evolution.

Mine was amber, but it ran Direct Access 5.0 and only had WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3 on it.

It’ll save you from 5G as well, right. Honestly though the whole Orgone thing is wildly fascinating to me. Which of course I found out about from a Hawkwind song. As one does.

My entire college focus was Flash with Actionscript because even MX was easier to make ecards for bands and little interactives than to realize my true dream of getting something on Channel 101.
