The Misadventures of Cujo-Chan
Ok, so my entries will probably all be one of 2 things: Parts of the novella I've been meditating on for about 3 years now but have only recently begun to actually write; or the weird, stupid things that happen to me everyday. (usually the latter)
The Man, The Moment, The Joke
While on Gaia tonight, I couldn't help but be drawn to this post.

[Synopsis] I am a LittleKuriboh fan, and I am sick of fanbrats constantly regurgitating quotations back and forth with eachother.

*Bitchy, joy-killing, page-stretcher first post*

If you wish to chatspeak, please shoot yourself in the head.[/Synopsis]


And I couldn't help but respond.

Y'know, you could be attacking all the people who run around randomly quoting the Simpsons, Family Guy, and Snakes on a Plane, but you chose Yu-Gi-Oh abridged in particular.

My point is that this "problem" has been going on for since the dawn of time. Ever hear of "inside jokes"? They're little comments friends make between eachother for no reason than it amused the crap out of them at the time it was first made. They used to be creative and different from everyone else's inside jokes, but ever since the introduction of "Entertainment" all those millenia ago, people have been leeching off comedies and things gladiators said in combat.

I believe it was Spartacus who said (literal translation): "I wish to smack that prisoner with my mace." This was of course in his gladiator days, and when he said it in the ring one fight, every roman there laughed. The joke was then carried with them and spread throughout the Roman Empire, later ending up in Elizabethan England, where I believe it was William Shakespeare who took it, and changed/shortened it to "Is MacBeth going-eth to have to smite-eth a Brigand? For Sooth!"

This was met with uproarious laughter, and the joke was once again spread throughout society, eventually making it's way to America, where it was once again changed to the form we are most familiar with:

To think, it all started with an inside joke between Sparticus and a b***h.


Now that 60% of a person's life is spent on the internet and shut off from outside experiences, all friends have to bond and laugh over is YouTube, and 30% of that is LittleKuriboh related*. Just think of them as the new generation of Inside Jokes. Just quote LK, and people will talk to you about it, and BAM! Instant friendship. Should they have no idea what you're talking about, well then, you're just going to have to force them to watch an episode, now, aren't you? And so the Joke is spread further. Who knows what will become of "Screw the rules I have money" in a few millenia?

All that being said, I'ma drink a Red Bull, and finish my Math homework.


*Statistics may not be real, as Cujo is braindead and hyper-imaginative.


There you have it: The men, the incident, the Joke.
