RandomFerret posted:Point me at the son of a bitch. I've been trying to find it again. The short version goes like this: The William Gibson found (or retweeted) an image with your text on it from tumblr. He thinks it's hilarious and good. It gets reposted a lot because he's a famous author. Some random comedian says that it is his joke and whoever wrote that stole it and reworded it and made it worse. Gibson says "oops sorry" and attributes it to that dude and links to his twitter and stuff. The end. But goddamn it, i loving knew it came from here first! I just couldn't recall who might have said it, and thus had no way to find the original quote. There was a lot of "well i saw it first 5 years ago" and "Well, I wrote and did it as part of my standup 5 and a half years ago" back and forth. I tried looking through Gibson's twitter to find it again, but it was 3 or so months ago and I just couldn't dredge it up.

Okay, well, looks like I just started a twitter war with William F. Gibson stuck in the middle. Not was I was expecting to do today. https://twitter.com/randomferret/status/675734047637831681

Thanks for the effort, I really appreciate it. I was able to find it quicker because I remembered the exact wording. On account of, you know. Well, I just tweeted at him directly and called him a hack, so we'll see what comes out of that. Anybody know a way to view archived stuff without an account? flavor.flv has a new favorite as of 19:17 on Dec 12, 2015 |

Do you know when or where you posted it? e: maybe the forum quotes thread would be better for this? a kitten has a new favorite as of 19:25 on Dec 12, 2015 |

I brought up your assessment with someone the other week and I wracked my brain trying to remember who wrote it. I remember reading that thread in '09 but I'm poo poo with names. Thank for coming out of the woodwork to defend your work

Kaiser Mazoku posted:I still have LUE access. Same. Most of the posts I make there are in "this place is dead" sort of threads, and are about the fact that I'm mostly around because I'm waiting to see the place die. Mind, I've seen communities smaller than current LUE last for years and years, but I've kind of always had an interest in small "dead/dying" internet communities. Kind of explains why I hang around here I guess.

I actually said holy poo poo when I saw a JibJab commercial the other day for Christmas e-cards. I can't believe they're still kicking.

Very much a subcultural thing, but I remember seeing variants everywhere, and indeed, many of them seem to still be up.

In honor of Christmas - this one was uploaded to youtube in '07, picture has a 2002 water mark, and I could see it having been made that same year. Probably the first video I remember that managed to be seen by everyone I knew (it helped being 12) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMSaJ1KkqQI
