When surfing on the net, everyone finds random things that can prove
amusing. A stupid flash, a sign saying "Free Cat" right beside some
unrecognisable roadkill...
Whenever someone stumbles apon one of these, the urge comes to share
it at there favourite forums. In our case, it's here. Then the poor
surfer get yelled at 'cause that wasn't something new he found.
But, concidering that new people keep joining these forums all the
time, old stuff becomes new stuff, and it's still funny.
For example, I'd never seen the "ninja ping-pong" flash before, but
when it was posted, someone said "this is old", and the thread got
locked. Despite the fact that quite a few people hadn't seen it.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone here has never been to
www.badgerbadgerbadger.com
So, I'm making this thread so we can post our favourite/stupid/random stuff from the past. New things are also welcome.
Here's my contribution. I don't know if it's been here before...
BOFH text series
This is REALLY old, but I don't know who's managed to find it or not.
Here's something we see alot of, but it's not usually this interesting:
