The Internet. The Internet? Yeah, son. That Internet.
The platform for communication and information gathering. Subversion, vandalism and jerking off. Some of you use this as a means to act out some base fantasies through an alter-ego you'll refer to as your "handle".
Others, others just talk or sit around and do some hand stuff with their dick.
While I'm here, stroking my snatch I got to thinking about how cultural and internet memes affect the very way we talk. For those who are for some reason unfamiliar with the nonclamenture, here is a wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme
And here is a Smithsonian article where they talking to Dawkins about culture, nature, information and otherwise is transformed by dogpiling on shit:
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/What-Defines-a-Meme.html?c=y&page=2
In my personal experience, internet memes almost completely overtook and reshaped how cats do/do not talk. How often do you hear the word rape used with ease in reference to something that happened when you were playing a video game? Have you heard "Owned" outside of the context of the internet?
Or Fail/Epic? Those now awful fucking words. The field of etymology is gonna look like a field of wheat ablaze in these next few decades. Trolling? Hell, even Roger Ebert is using the phrase in reference of that Armond White guy.
Let's track the fall of our world's language by our own hands, America. Other countries aren't excluded from the dialogue unless they hate Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Now I'm kinda hungry.
You old.
also the only meme phrase I've heard in real life was 'fail', and only by one person once, and I smacked my head.
I must live in some kind of paradise
Well that can't be right
Aren't you Irish?
I hear it's Donut Day. Go to a place that sells them, could probably get one for free!
it's exponentially faster nowadays given how widespread the internet's usage has become, and the advent of smart phones giving really young kids constant access to it
it's not curmudgeonly to say that we're taking a turn for the moronic with our choice of words or at least the consistently used ones
like rape as an adjective
dude i'm like 22
you old. you old like cosby balls wrapped in the shroud of turin
Joke thief! I was going to make this joke.
Now I will have to save it for later and it won't be as fresh.

that's mondo lame-o, square
for example, my little pony
aside from being a harmless cartoon to put out a soulless little toy as is required every generation, it was only through looking at youtube page views that i realized the viewership of the videos was solely creepy dudes
Huh, interesting.
it's just an observation
the internet isn't solely defined by lolcats but if i have to watch the devil slip his dick in by god that doesn't mean i have to crack a smile
Satans..... hints.....
yes it exists but it is acceptable to throw up at sexualizing underage horse people and throw up again because you have to think about how you needed to draw those distinctions
you have no idea what a modern high school is like
there are so
so
sooo many 4channers and twerps
no america is a great place, there are horrible people in it but you cannot give up hope in the face of insurrmountable devils
sure the weather is awful and the economy is imploding, but suppressing any expression beyond the accepted norms in the one thing we got right
Non-ironically just so we are clear.
Satans..... hints.....
i am devoid of irony
there is no winking of the eye
that's horrible, everyones head should be shaved and be forced to wear nike tracksuits
I miss Riotcow threads.
Satans..... hints.....
he was talking about how he was channel-surfing and had the TV on mute, and he flicked on the news to see the bodies of the Heaven's Gate cultists being wheeled out
tons of people in Nike tracksuits and Nike shoes
for a moment he thought it was an incredibly dark and offensive Nike ad
where the fuck did I say that
there is a happy medium between full on hooked to the internet nerd, and traditional arrogant jock
it can be gleaned and the opening statements are fairly accurate
america is fucking gay
dispute this, not america
dispute this
facebook mixed with highscool would have been a mess
No Jameson is pretty fly,
although I was watching girl with the dragon tattoo where a character pulls out a bottle of 18 year old Jameson and acts like it was the second coming which I thought was kinda weird
I am watching one of the underworld movies for example.
Satans..... hints.....
yeah in my last year of high school people were juuuuust discovering myspace and shit
i mean people had the internet and folks emailed and had AIM and ICQ and shit
but social networking sites
the facebooks and the myspaces
that was not a thing while i was in high school, and thank the white christ for that boyo
because i hear horror stories from my 16 year old brother who is going through that shit right now
