6. No, I wish I did so I could give due credit. It was the exact same situation as this OP, though.

Someone fairly new to the board who meant their post to be a reply in another thread, but posted a new thread by mistake.

The problem is, the phrase has now been used so much by so many people, that when you try to search for the original (using the Google DU search function), there are pages and pages of results.

The original is lost to mists of time, I'm afraid... :)

12. Cool! Thanks. How did you manage to find it?
He deserves to be immortalized in DU history -- for the greatest non sequitur post EVER!

Thank you, KeSs, wherever you are!

My challenge was actually getting the phrase right, which took a little hunting on DU. But so worth it.

Oops, I think I missed and replied to wrong post. LOL.

15. LOL! Replying to the wrong post in this thread is rather ironic, don't you think?
:7

Anyway, thanks again. I noticed that I didn't quite get it completely right in my post above -- I was trying to go from memory.

17. We're being sucked into a vortex....

20. I regret that I can't remember it, but it was somewhat along the lines of
"mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them."

:D

2. you want to try attaching this to something?
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 03:14 PM by frogcycle
