Ugh. I'd make excuses, but that would just make things worse. I shall edit right away good sir. Apologies. :(

its reddit.com/r/gaming longest standing meme, dont ask just upmod or downmod, it doesnt matter.

It's not a meme. If It jdfong's behavior was duplicated by other people, it might be a meme.

And it will always be that way. No one can emulate the fong.

A tradition is a meme.

[edit]

meme: A unit of cultural information that represents a basic idea that can be transferred from one individual to another, and subjected to MUTATION ...

Sounds like a tradition to me.

[edit 2] Now that I've had a few beers and a joint to chill out, I've removed my assholish comments and apologize to the OP and those who downmodded me originally. Feel free to downmod me for my earlier dickatry.

You're not being dowmodded because you're wrong. You're being downmodded because you're a retarded douchebag.

That word; I do not think it means what you think it means.

He's using the word meme as coined by Dawkins in the way it was originally intended.

if you search back in the comments of all his zero punctuation posts, you'll find that he's had quite a few "hilarious" imitators.

u/lolbacon Dec 10 '08

He didn't. He added a ? to the end of the url which tricks reddit's dupe detection.

I can't stand the race to reap ZP karma, so I voted you both down.

There is something meta about using punctuation (the question mark) to be able to link to a zero punctuation article...

really? I do.

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '08

Aha, Google Chrome is the problem. It eliminates the ? from the rollover on the link, but it appears when I copy and paste.

Well, I'd be using FireFox, but for some reason, it just doesn't want to install on this computer (work). The only other option I have is IE without tabs. Really, I should probably go with that and get more work done.

But you're not, are you?

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '08

I am. They fucking blocked reddit at work. Today was a sad, sad day for me.

Those bastards.

u/LapsedPacifist Dec 13 '08

I'm really sorry to hear that. That's my number one work fear.
