This Was Inevitable
It was only a matter of time before this happened:
The Mighty God King sends us this.
The Black Box report represents.
Brad Fox goes old school.
He is the one.
And then you have this.
More as they come in.
*** Update ***
I don’t have the video editing skills myself, but you know what to do. This needs to be modified:

Oh, but there’s more. Type Internet Aware Traditions into teh Google and let the good times roll.

Internet Tradishuns. I noze them.
HumboldtBlue
Is the traditional internet now threatened because of non-traditional use of the internets by (shhh) teh gays?
My particular favorite internet tradition is hanging tinsel from my dick when I read right wing sites because the tin foil hat really fits well.
Also, the internet lights are absolutely beautiful this time of year and just yesterday, I finished my traditional internets wish list for gifts people are going to buy me on internetmas.
What are your favorite internet traditions?
Sage Freehaven
“Internetmas”. Heehee.
This needs to become a real (Internet) holiday.

Shit. When I started on the Internet we had to carry the packets through the snow and only the shamans knew how to grep.

I love the intertrons, and all the wonderful people who live here. Thank you.

Why in my day we didn’t even have packets unless we arranged the 1’s and 0’s ourselves!

Can I has internet tradishuns?
AkaDad
My personal tradition is listening to different music for each blog that I read. For instance, when I read some right wing blogs, I listen to Dueling Banjos.
John Cole
I hope one of you with video editing skills handles the the update to this post.

Did you see our favorite lunatic p.luk being quoted over there (with commendation)?
Dear Senator Obama
On behalf of my friends in Florida, please find half a check for $100. Since your campaign saiid their votes should only count as half votes, I figure you’ll know what to do with half a check.
But, in case you need a hint – the RBC corruptly ensured your nomination while violating the DNC charter “sunshine” povisiions for meetings. In that spirit, you can take my half-check, and put it ‘where the sun don’t shine’.
This is a person who has simply snapped. Sad, really.

[...] Have you ever heard of a LOL cat? Rickrolling? All Your (insert word) Are Belong To Us? Goatse (I’m not going to link that one, it’s really disgusting)? The Star Wars Kid ? Chocolate Rain? Little Superstar? Numa Numa? The Flying Spaghetti Monster ? YTMND? Demotivators? You haven’t? O RLY? Then you really haven’t seen the web in all its glory. Web phenomena like these are called Internet Memes, and become a pervasive part of heavy Internet users’ lingo and thinking. It’s hard to track just how a meme originates sometimes, but they often come from discussion board threads or people just naiively expressing themselves. In any case, I think I just witnessed one being born. On a fairly obscure discussion thread the other day, this dialog occurred. Within 24 hours, we already we have these interpretations, quickly repurposing other memes. Before you know it, someone will create a t-shirt on Cafe Press, and: voila! An Internet Meme is born. A piece of advice if you ever find yourself in the midst of a meme-birth: Trademark it! Don’t be like Harvey R. Ball, creator of the Smiley Face Icon, who only collected his original $45 fee… [...]

That was Van Damme. That was so, so, SO very Van Damme.
