In a nutshell, he noticed pink flyers all over his school solely reading "Why is this flyer pink?" After he'd had enough, he started taking matters into his own hands, making his own flyers and putting them in every public place imaginable.

Flyer quotes include (but not limited to):
Why Is This Flyer Pink? It Is A Mystery (on womens' bathroom door)
Whoops my fart (on a drive-thru menu)
What Would Flyer Do? (On a church sign)
Ce n'est pas une flyer (Translates to "It is not a flyer", on arts building wall)
A series of numbers on a Do Not Enter sign.

This thread eventually turned Gold, Doctor_thodt was awarded a custom title, and the pink flyers have ultimately become a sort of phenomenon amongst GBS. In addition, this website has been created, possibly by a member of the forums:
http://www.thepinkflyer.com/. In a minor sense, Why is this ___ pink has become a sort of catchphrase amongst GBS as well.

Would you guys be cool with me posting thread tags in here I don't get or would that be better for a spin-off post?

Do it. I'll start. What's the story with the falconry tag?

One of the mods later owned up to it, but I don't remember who.

I did some of them but a lot of them were bought so I don't know who did those.

One day my buttbrothers I will be back, but today I must serve the gods of peanut butter.
