According to <a href="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Advice_Dog/Variations#Technologically_Impaired_Duck">Encyclopedia Dramatica</a> , Technologically Impaired Duck is “is a relatively new spin-off which can be mildly lulzy to most /b/tards, as it relates to the two things they know best: the Internets and stupid.”.</p> <p>Example of a Technologically Impaired Duck is a duck against a color wheel, with a quite goofy statement on it, i.e “The Internet is down / I’ll call Google” or “<a href=http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/download-more-ram>Download more <span class="caps">RAM</span></a>.”</p> <p>Technologically Impaired Duck is a <a href=http://memegenerator.net/Tier/Top>Demigod Tier Memegenerator meme</a>, just behind <a href=http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/philosoraptor>Philosoraptor and before <a href=http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/depression-dog>Depression Dog</a>.</p> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig%2Fmodules%2Fgoogle_insightsforsearch_interestovertime_searchterms.xml&up__property=empty&up__search_terms=technologically+impaired+duck&up__location=empty&up__category=0&up__time_range=empty&up__compare_to_category=false&synd=ig&w=650&h=300&lang=en-US&title=Google+Insights+for+Search&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

X has ONE weakness! <h2>About</h2> <p>The “X has <span class="caps">ONE</span> weakness!” was a meme originating in <span class="caps">YTMND</span>; its webpage was created by a user named Super-Penguin on August 7, 2005.</p> <p>Although generally this phrase is confined to <span class="caps">YTMND</span> only, it has been referenced to all over the web in places like YouTube and message boards.</p> <p>It consists of a picture of Professor X from X-men being pushed down stairs by a character named Mister Sinister – this particular frame from <a href=http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ultimate_X-Men>Ultimate X-Men Issue #49</a>.</p> <p>The song in the background is an 8-bit version of <em>Axel F</em> also known as the <em>Beverly Hills Cop</em> theme, created by <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Faltermeyer>Harold Faltermeyer</a> – the first instance of this song in use was in AlbinoBlackSheep’s <a href="www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/rgb.php"><span class="caps">RGB</span></a> (warning, really flashy image) The community found this oh so exploitable and decided to spawn some spin-offs of their own. Examples include:</p> <ul> <li>The original <a href="http://profx.ytmnd.com/">Professor X had <span class="caps">ONE</span> weakness!</a></li> </ul> <p>There are over 1044 “Has one Weakness” YTMNDs to date.</p> <h2>Examples</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://xpweakness.ytmnd.com/">Windows XP has one weakness!</a></li> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="http://ytmndaddicts.ytmnd.com/"><span class="caps">YTMND</span> Addicts have one weakness!</a></li> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="http://duke3dboss.ytmnd.com/">Duke 3D Boss has one weakness!</a> (warning, relatively slow load)</li> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="http://crashmanweakness.ytmnd.com/">Crash man had one weakness…</a></li> </ul>

A Challenger Appears <h2>About</h2> <p><strong>“A Challenger Appears”</strong> is a catch phrase derived from fighting games. It is commonly used to signify the presence of something superior to the topic at hand. For example, if <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/anonymous">Anonymous</a> starts a thread about <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/longcat">Longcat</a>, it is almost certain that Tacgnol will be mentioned sometime in that thread with the phrase being used.</p> <p>A description of the meme is given in <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=a%20challenger%20appears">Urban Dictionary</a> but there is no evidence to suggest that Super Smash Bros. Brawl was the reason for the re-popularization of the phrase <span class="caps">OTI</span> other than it being under the “Super Smash Bros” heading on Macrochan.</p> <h2>Origin (Researching!!)</h2> <p>“A Challenger Appears” first appeared in Street Fighter II and has reappeared in several other fighting games after it. This phrase (or anything similar to it) is stated when a new character or a second player comes into play to fight the original player after or during a fight.</p> <p>The catch phrase had somehow found its way onto the internet and had become a meme since its reintroduction some time during late 2006 for reasons (as of now) unknown.</p> <h2>Spread</h2> <div align="center"> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig%2Fmodules%2Fgoogle_insightsforsearch_interestovertime_searchterms.xml&up__property=empty&up__search_terms=a+challenger+appears%7Ca+challenger+approaches%7Ca+new+challenger+appears%7Ca+new+challenger+approaches&up__location=empty&up__category=0&up__time_range=empty&up__compare_to_category=false&synd=ig&w=650&h=300&lang=en-US&title=Google+Insights+for+Search&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script></div> <ul> <li>An archived 4chan thread used a similar phrase called <a href="http://4chanarchive.org/brchive/dspl_thread.php5?thread_id=72023851&inline_imaeg=1">‘We Have a Challenger’</a>.</li> <li>“A Challenger Appears” in <a href=http://4chanarchive.org/brchive/dspl_thread.php5?thread_id=18073424&x=sharks+in+suits>This thread archived from /b/ 12/29/06</a></li> </ul>

Buzzkilling <h2>About</h2> <p>Although the term Buzzkill predates popular usage of the internet, the present tense verb Buzzkilling today is largely associated with a 4chan meme that places more value on the comedic subtletly of straight-forward explanations of what is out of place in an image. In short, it is a form of anti-joke.</p> <h2>Origin</h2> <p>Although <a href=http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/put-yourself-in-my-shoes>Put Yourself in My Shoes</a> never caught on with 4chan, the “Those are my shoes. You are a dog” inspired the creation of other, simpler image macros utilizing the same anti-joke format.</p> <p>ED offers some commentary on the subject:<br /> <blockquote><br /> The fact that one iteration of a five year old meme has become a meme in itself says something about the need for Original Content.</p> </blockquote>

Michael J. Fox Parkinson's jokes <h2>About</h2> <p>Any subject can become a joke, whether tasteful or not. The key to a meme’s ability to spread isn’t always how “good” it is, but rather, how attention-getting it is. Thus, offensive humor proliferates wildly online.</p> <p>Celebrity Michael J. Fox was no exception when <span class="caps">YTMND</span> sites started to be made about his Parkinson’s disease in 2005.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://michaeljiggy.ytmnd.com/">http://michaeljiggy.ytmnd.com/</a> by thebroken was the first instance the 23th of September 2005</li> </ul> <p>That first <span class="caps">YTMND</span> gathered just over 3,000 views.</p> <p>From 2006 to 2009 <a href="http://ytmnd.com/search?q=Michael+J+fox&o=|1">63 YTMNDs</a> were made.</p> <p>One of the most viewed YTMNDs is the “What is Love” variation dating from the 28th of October 2006:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://tastelesslove.ytmnd.com/">What is Fox ?</a> by cooke gathered more than 35,000 views.</li> </ul> <h2>Spread to 4chan</h2> <p>The mockery of Michael J. Fox’s Parkinsons’ reached 4chan’s /b/ in December of the same year.<br /> A thread was created to launch a flood of single phrases joking on Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson that nearly worked as <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/chuck-norris-facts">Chuck Norris’s facts</a><br /> Here’s an extract from it, quoted from ED (Warning, the ED link could provoke epilepsy):</p> <blockquote> <p>Michael J. Fox once caused a can of soda to explode in someone’s face just by handing it to him. Because of Parkinson’s.<br /> Michael J Fox can never play Operation. Because of Parkinson’s.<br /> You know that scene in <span class="caps">BTTF</span> where Michael J Fox is on the stage and he’s jumping around with the guitar? It wasn’t in the script, he just did it. Because of Parkinson’s.<br /> Michael J. Fox’s cellphone is always on vibrate. Because of Parkinson’s.<br /> Michael J. Fox can do an amazing impression of the car scene from A Night at the Roxbury. Because of Parkinson’s.<br /> Michael J Fox has an oscillation rate of over 9000 movements per second which allows him to oscillate against the natural rate of 88 movements per second creating a quantum flux, which is what makes time travel possible. Because of Parkinson’s.<br /> Michael J Fox doesn’t make paintings, he makes Rorschach tests. Because of Parkinson’s.<br /> Michael J. Fox can’t piss standing up. Because of Parkinson’s.<br /> Michael J Fox holds the high score on <span class="caps">DDR</span>. Because of Parkinson’s.<br /> Michael J. Fox knows the Mexican Hat Dance.

Microsoft sucks at PhotoShop <h2>About</h2> <p>This is an example of a user-submitted news story that became a forced meme that has been widely regarded as a legitimate meme anyway.</p> <h2>Origin and Spread</h2> <p>On August 25th, 2008 <a href=http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/25/marketing-decapitation-in-poland-asians-ok-blacks-maybe-not/>TechCrunch</a> posted two user-submitted scans of a Microsoft ad. In the US version, te ad featured a photo of an Asian man to the left, a black man at the center, and a white woman to the right. There isalso a Macbook in the photo, and the other computer’s monitor is not plugged in.</p> <p>When a version of the Ad was used to reach Polish audiences, the photo had been touched-up to clear up some discrepencies. It was not the Macbook, nor the unplugged monitor. Instead, the black man’s head had been replaced with a white man.</p> <p>[if there is a statement from Microsoft, we should find it.]</p> <p>In the comments section of the article, most people discussed the racism of replacing a black man with a white man vs. the decision to reflect relative absense of black people in Poland.</p> <p>The first commenter to mention parodies was <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael_Langer/676354363">Michael A Langer</a> at 3:19 PM Pacific Time.<br /> <blockquote><br /> Does anyone else sense parody’s coming…..?</p> </blockquote> <p>No less than six minutes later, Jason Kincaid replied with a <span class="caps">YTMND</span> – <a href=http://microlove.ytmnd.com/>Microsoft What is Love</a></p> <p>Another user <a href=http://homepage.mac.com/aleksivic/.Pictures/humor/spotTheBusey.jpg>pasted Gary Busey’s head</a> into the pic, and more memes followed in the comments.</p> <p>That same day, the story was picked up by <a href=http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/microsoft-sucks-at-photoshop/>Engadget</a>, and the Engadget link was posted to <a href=http://www.buzzfeed.com/googlereader/microsoft-sucks-at-photoshop>Buzzfeed</a>.</p> <p>The following day, the story was also picked up by the <span class="caps">BBC</span> with the title <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8221896.stm">Microsoft in racism row</a></p> <p>The <span class="caps">BBC</span> story was also submitted to <a href=http://www.buzzfeed.com/tweetmeme/bbc-news-technology-microsoft-in-web-photo-rac>Buzzfeed that day.</a></p> <p>Later that night, a thread appeared on VGchartz.com where even more photoshopping took place.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=84115&page=2"><span class="caps">BBC</span>: Microsoft in web racism row</a></li> </ul> <p>Also on the 26th, TechCrunch posted a followup story, declaring (or forcing) that this had become a meme. They further incentivized the creation of photoshops by announcing that a TechCrunch T-shirt would be awarded to the most creative photoshop.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/26/its-a-meme-get-photoshop-warmed-up-and-win-a-bing-tshirt/">It’s a Meme</a> by Michael Arrington on TechCrunch on August 26th, 2009</li> </ul> <p>Regardless of the fact that TechCrunch forced the meme by declaring it so early, the photoshopping continued. In this case, the forced meme was embraced despite being forced.</p> <p>On September 4th, 2009, SomethingAwful compiled all the photoshopping that had been happening in their forums into a Photoshop Phriday post titled <a href="http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/microsoft-photoshop-empower.php">Microsoft’s Emerging Markets</a></p> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig%2Fmodules%2Fgoogle_insightsforsearch_interestovertime_searchterms.xml&up__property=empty&up__search_terms=microsoft+racism%7C&up__location=empty&up__category=0&up__time_range=empty&up__compare_to_category=false&synd=ig&w=650&h=300&lang=en-US&title=Google+Insights+for+Search&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

X with a layer added every second. <h2>About</h2> <p>X with a layer every second is basically a <span class="caps">YTP</span> sub-meme where a video within a video appears every second. This causes a really bizarre echo effect.</p> <h2>Origin</h2> <p>On April 8th, 2008 veteran video mashup artists wreckandsalvage joined the Youtube Poop community and created the first “X with a layer added every second” <span class="caps">YTP</span> video; entitled Wreckrolled.</p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fUGah9lBAgA&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fUGah9lBAgA&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>While <a href=http://www.vimeo.com/wreckandsalvage>W&S have a healthy following on Vimeo</a>, they were the newcomers to the <span class="caps">YTP</span> community and as such, they might not have been successful at triggering a fad if it hadn’t been for the more experienced Pooper, Erarg.</p> <p>Aaron Valdez (1/3rd of W&S) explains:</p> <blockquote> <p>We joined the <span class="caps">YTP</span> community about a year ago just to see what it was about, learn more about what and why people remix. Posted this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUGah9lBAgA which was then mimicked by a more seasoned member, Erarg, who gave it a title “Hotel Mario with a layer added every second.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZttcfCZ5aUQ</p> <p>This quickly became a fad within <span class="caps">YTP</span> because of his standing, a better title that describes how to make the video (our version syncs beats from the song which I guess work out to one second), and the fact that it was easily replicated. The fad even spawned another user to use this technique to create another version using “Never Gonna Give You Up” source footage without knowledge of our original. Despite this his version has more views because of his greater involvement within the community.</p> <p>Poopers, including the first user to mimic our video, Erarg, who know we created the first video have always given credit to us for being the source of the fad. But the I would credit the fad itself to Erarg http://www.youtube.com/user/Erarg for all of the reasons mentioned. Without him it would just exist quietly as most of our work does on YouTube.</p> <p>I found how the video spread all pretty interesting.</p> </blockquote> <h2>Derivatives</h2> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZttcfCZ5aUQ&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZttcfCZ5aUQ&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ksz_Mrfy538&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ksz_Mrfy538&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-lCN2JKd31s&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-lCN2JKd31s&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tLedin-rRUg&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tLedin-rRUg&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HU4zR9JBUBE&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HU4zR9JBUBE&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2EDNqFpUuqY&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2EDNqFpUuqY&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TkPK99W6TJo&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TkPK99W6TJo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>

In retrospect, this meme shares some similarities with <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/caramelldansen">Caramelldansen</a> and <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/danjo-%E7%94%B7%E5%A5%B3">Danjo</a> in its history of evolution.</p> <h2>Etymology</h2> <p>みなぎってきた (<em>Mi-nah-gi Te-Ki-Te</em>) is a general expression used to describe any suddenly soaring energy within, but typically implies a sort of libido rush (i.e., boner) in the context of online hubsites like 2Chan and <span class="caps">NND</span>. Also, in keeping good faith with the OP, most videos use a bastardized vers. of the phrase as the title, <strong>みwなwぎwっwてwきwたwww</strong> with all the “w” characters being the chatspeak equivalent of <span class="caps">LOL</span>. (“W” is short for <em>warau</em>, which means “to laugh” or “to smile").</p> <h2>Origin</h2> <div align="center"> <p><img src="http://knowyourmeme.com/i/26850/original/overflowing_crawl.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <strong>Cold Turkey Day 5: Pretend to Swim on the Floor</strong></div><br></p> <p>On December 9, 2007, a <span class="caps">NND</span> user <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/%E3%81%97%E3%81%BE%E3%81%97%E3%81%BEP">MashiMashi-P</a> uploaded a stick figure animation of a guy playing the flute while doing some really ….bizarre slash frantic dance moves (for the lack of better description). Comically titled <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1728363">Soaring Energy: Flute-playing Elf / Post-Quit Symptom Level 5</a>, the hand-drawn animation made vague references to symptoms of anxieties and struggles experienced by ex-cigarette smokers. But regardless of the artist’s original motif, its catchy flute melodies and slapstick dance routine eventually caught on beyond the niche group and led many others to create their own.</p> <h2>Spread</h2> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w9hW5dt9zXM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w9hW5dt9zXM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>Though MashiMashi-P’s animation became a favorite among his followers, the <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm4042761">first animated derivative</a> (Lucky Star Theme) was uploaded seven months later in July 2008. Many spin-offs soon followed, typically featuring customized characters and other visual add-ons. Within days, several derivatives as well as the original animation became featured on Nico Nico Douga’s <span class="caps">TOP</span> 100 video chart.</p> <h2>Examples</h2> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PTLQnwsuZPM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PTLQnwsuZPM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fls94bYDAPY&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fls94bYDAPY&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p> <p><object width="384" height="313"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZTYAnpGURGU&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZTYAnpGURGU&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="384" height="313" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/k4oPyLhXbqM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/k4oPyLhXbqM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <h2>I.R.L.

Due to its immense popularity, the cutesy dance outro became somewhat of an internet meme in both Japan and overseas.</p> <h2>Origins</h2> <p><em>The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya</em> is based on the popular manga (of the same title), which itself is inspired by a series of light novels written by Nagaru Tanigawa. Since its breakout in 2003, the original “high school/adventure” fiction has been adapted into four separate manga series, five video games, a TV anime adaptation and two web exclusive animations.</p> <h2>Spread</h2> <p>Pilot episode of the TV anime series first aired in April 2006. Soon, fans began sharing <span class="caps">MAD</span> videos and parody versions of the outro dance, some even arranged tribute performances via 2Chan. Eventually, both the anime series and the ending theme gained “mementum” among anime/cosplay fans overseas. The number of derivatives multiplied, featuring other anime/manga/videogame characters as well as the contributors themselves.</p> <h2>Derivatives</h2> <center><b>3D Version</b></center> <p><object

Following the media coverage and public outrage, remnants of the swastika were completely removed in December 2000.</p> <p>The original <span class="caps">YTMND</span>, titled <a href="http://naziforest.ytmnd.com/"><span class="caps">OMG</span>, Secret Nazi Forest!!</a>, was uploaded on September 20, 2005, featuring a picture of swastika in the forest, a flashing icon of Hitler, and the German dance pop song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMm7gqowAO4">Heute Ist Mein Tag</a> by Blümchen.</p> <h2>Derivatives</h2> <p>In the beginning, <span class="caps">OMG</span> Secret Nazi YTMNDs imitated the news-article format to parody the offbeat nature of its discovery.

A team of civilian weapons inspectors dressed in white overalls demanded to enter the plant to inspect the US weapons of mass destruction that are being produced there. When they were denied entry, they sat down in front of the Boeing gate in protest. Later in the afternoon, 14 civilian weapons inspectors were arrested for blocking the entrance to the Boeing bomb factory.</p> A hostile crowd of roughly 75, flag waving, pro-war protesters showered the silent peace protesters with insults and violent threats, but they were held back by the police.

Monorail Cat <h2>Origin</h2> <p>One of the <a href="http://catmas.com/blog/_archives/2006/11/2/2469597.html">earliest pictures</a> of monorail cat found is from the website catmas.com’s blog section, dated from November 2, 2006. The picture is of a cat flopped over a metal-framed mirror, which makes the cat look like a monorail.</p> <p>The cat’s legs are not visible in the picture. The original monorail cat picture was brought to ICanHasCheezburger on January 12, 2007. Since then, it has been a staple lolcat on <span class="caps">ICHC</span>. Many pictures are submitted to the site having to do with a monorail cat or dog. Now it is one of the most famous lolcats around.</p> <p>It is more likely that Monorail cat was one of the first products of /b/’s Caturday, as is evident from the Google Insights Trend.</p> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig%2Fmodules%2Fgoogle_insightsforsearch_interestovertime_searchterms.xml&up__property=empty&up__search_terms=monorail+cat%7Ccaturday&up__location=empty&up__category=0&up__time_range=empty&up__compare_to_category=false&synd=ig&w=650&h=300&lang=en-US&title=Google+Insights+for+Search&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script><h2>Derivatives</h2> <p>The original picture of the cat is most certainly not the only picture of a “monorail cat”.

X is Watching You Poop <h2>About</h2> <p>“X is Watching You Poop” is an image macro series that consists of a celebrity photo (typically wearing an odd facial expression) …and a caption that reads “X is watching you poop.” For example:</p> <div align="center"><img src="http://knowyourmeme.com/i/26456/original/Untitled-1.jpg" alt="" /></div> <h2>Origins</h2> <p>In October 2002, a Geocities page with a “Jeff Goldblum is Watching You Poop” image macro made its way on to the internet. The idea behind this website was rather simple and clear: Jeff Goldblum shall be watching everyone poop. The photo itself originates from a particular scene in the 1986 horror remake <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fly_(1986_film)"><em>The Fly</em></a>. According to the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20021010190500/http://geocities.com/jeffgoldblumiswatchingyoupoop/">archives</a> of the now-defunct website, the real deal was to put up the image macro in public bathroom stalls to bring lulz for those sitting on the toilet.</p> <p>On a related note, this meme precedes the infamous <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ceiling_cat">Ceiling Cat is watching you masturbate</a>, a spin-off of the original that became popular on 4chan as part of <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/caturday">Caturday</a> image macros.</p> <h2><span class="caps">IRL</span> Prank: How-to Tutorial</h2> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mUOalPp7Xmk&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mUOalPp7Xmk&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <h2>Derivatives</h2> <div align="center"><img src="http://northtron.fuzy.org/mt/2008/11/20/CWiswatchingyoupee-thumb-400x526.jpg" alt="" /></div><p><br></p> <p>Quite a few variations spawned out of the Jeff Goldblum version, with <a href="http://www.christopherwalkeniswatchingyoupee.com/">Christopher Walken is watching you pee</a> being the most popular.

2ch textboards

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= active 4chan, japan, engrish, 2ch, 2chan, futaba channel, get, number, post, imageboard

GET <h2>About</h2> <p><span class="caps">GET</span> is an event on imageboards where a post’s number ends with a significant number, such as every millionth post, 123456789, 55555555, etc. <span class="caps">GET</span> is most popular on 4chan due to the high post traffic which makes deliberately getting GETs more difficult.</p> <h2>Origin</h2> <p>The term <span class="caps">GET</span> (in all caps) originated from the Japanese 2ch text boards as 2GET and 1000GET, the first and last possible replies to a thread (similar to <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/first"><span class="caps">FIRST</span></a>). This concept carried over to imageboard 2chan and later quickly adopted by sister imageboard 4chan, expanding GETs to special numbered posts.</p> <p>On text boards, 2ch style GETs can still be seen.</p> <h2>Usage</h2> <p>When a special post number nears, users will attempt to mark the milestone post by starting a thread claiming post number <span class="caps">GET</span> along with their favorite picture. The difficulty of scoring a <span class="caps">GET</span> depends on the board traffic, so boards with higher traffic have more interest in <span class="caps">GET</span>.</p> <p>4chan boards have been coded with an auto-sticky feature and automatically stickies GETs to the first page (although they have since been disabled, probably due to the shortening frequency between GETs).</p> <p>It is possible for unrelated posts to inadvertently get milestone post numbers. These GETs sometimes can be FAILGETs or WINGETs, depending on the content of the post, and lulz or O <span class="caps">SHI</span>- reactions ensue. A <span class="caps">FAILGET</span> is a term for a <span class="caps">GET</span> that sucks. Conversely, a <span class="caps">WINGET</span> is a term for awesome GETs.</p> <h3><span class="caps">GET</span> Games</h3> <p>The high post traffic on 4chan’s /b/ can make post numbers virtually random. This led to the creation of <span class="caps">GET</span> game threads. These games usually concern the last one or two digits of a post, where getting a certain digit has the poster or OP do some sort of action (e.g. post ending in 9 tells me what to do). Another variation of this is where the thread contains a list of possible last digits accompanying some sort of action posters have to do. This is also known as “rolling”, as posting in /b/ is as random as rolling die.</p> <h2>Examples of Milestone GETs</h2> <p>/b/ was reset several times due to its first chaotic incarnations. The first <span class="caps">GET</span> occurred on April 2004, but does not seem to be recorded.</p> <h3>6666 <span class="caps">GET</span> on /jp/</h3> <p>Cirno upside-down <span class="caps">WINGET</span><br /> <img src="http://knowyourmeme.com/i/25977/original/Jp_winget_cirno.jpg?1257738840" alt="" /></p> <h3>1 Million <span class="caps">GET</span> on /b/</h3> <p>Sketch of Sae Sawanoguchi from anime Magic Users Club in sexual bliss.
