4chan Owned for the Lulz
Thought I would stop by 4chan this fine Friday night to see if I could discover something new and disgusting, but instead of the front page, this is what I found: Welcome To Did It For The Lulz!
Looks like 4chand has become a victim of the of the Lulz it is so famous for. I have to admit the sight did give me lulz, which made the
4chanless night all worth it.
Update: 12/14/07
Looks like 4chan is still gone, but there is a new page in place: Suspeneded Page. It appears that 4chan's servers were not compromisd, but the site was a victim of domain name
hijacking. Its surprising how such a huge site is still unacessable after so long a time. Maybe the admin, Moot, just doesn't care and would like the weekend off anyways.
Update: 12/15/07
Suspended page has been updated again, with the text at the bottom reading: Glexia is in constant contact with Moot and other 4chan executives and we are working both with them and the FBI to resolve this situation as soon as possible.
(Last Edit: 15/12/2007 @ 1:48 PM Eastern)
I went onto Lulz's IRC channel (irc.diditforthelulz.com) to see what the whole "FBI" deal was about. They told me that some 4channer's
posted child porn on the diditforthelulz site as retribution. Talk about a LOL when I heard that one. Anyways, 4chan.org still points to the suspended page, but you can access the site by going to
the ip address.
God I love the internet.
The Woman
One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Adam?", God replies.
"Lord, I know you created me and have provided for me and surrounded me with this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Adam?", comes the reply from the heavens.
"Lord, I know you created this place for me, with all this lovely food and all of the beautiful animals, but I am lonely."
"Well Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution. I shall create a 'woman' for you."
"What's a 'woman', Lord?"
"This 'woman' will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring, and beautiful creature I have ever created. She will be so intelligent that she can figure out what you want before you want it. She will be so sensitive and caring that she will know your every mood and how to make you happy. Her beauty will rival that of the heavens and earth. She will unquestioningly care for your every need and desire. She will be the perfect companion for you.", replies the heavenly voice.
"Sounds great."
"She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam."
"How much will this 'woman' cost me Lord?", Adam replies.
"She'll cost you your right arm, your right leg, an eye, an ear, and your left testicle."
Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and concern on his face. Finally Adam says to God, "Ehhh, what can I get for a rib?"
The rest, as they say, is history.
Martycakes
So imagine the situation. Its the second night after moving into the dorm rooms at the college and we're all freshman that don't know eachother. You meet a lot of people. First impressions are just that, first impressions. You might meet someone who you think is cool, and thats good, but you don't know if in the long run they really are going to be cool. Same goes for someone whos a little strange. You might meet someone whos a little wierd but as long as they arent too crazy you aren't going to think this guys a rapist or something.
So everyone was in the hall drinking and being merry (that seemes to be the pattern of things in Forest floor 1 since the first night until now) and socializing. There was one kid named Marty who was hanging out with Jesse across the hall, Alex (my roomate) and I met him and and our first impression was that he was a little strange. He is a local, doesnt even go live in the hall or go to school. He is constantly smiling, but its not a natural somile, it looks more like there are 2 fishooks on each corner of his mouth attached to string pulling back. He has a slightly small deformed head that is accentuated by his shaved hair. Nobody could tell it straight but there was something just not right about this man.
Come 1am, Alex and I decided to call it a night. About 3 hours later, as well as I can remember, I was awoken by some talking. I opened my eyes to see a blurry, dark, image of a man obviosuly not Alex, standing at the foot of Alex's bed where the dresser is messing with some object on top of it. I said it a really, loud, accusing voice "Whats up man?!" This must have woken up Alex because he immedialty sat up in bed, and said in a really pissed off tone, "What are you doing, we're trying to sleep!" After this the man turned towards Alex and I could see right away that it was that freak Marty. He just kinda stood there for a second looking at Alex and there was silence. Alex said "Dude get out of here." To which Marty, still smiling as I could see, replied, "Dude, its cool." But didnt move. At this Alex got up out of bed and physically pushed Marty out of the room. Alex closed and locked the room, looked at me, and we both said "What the fuck" in unison. Although strange, and a little unnerving, both of us were pretty drunk so we laughed nervously a bit and passed out again.
In the morning, we inspected the dresser to see if Marty had stolen or tampered with anything. All we found was a lime green tree shaped air freshner on the desk.
WTF?
Since then Marty has been the butt of a lot of our jokes and pranks. A few days later, there was a Housing complex meeting where the head RA told us some safety warnings. One of them was to lock our doors, because there "Have been reports of transients entering the complex, sometimes even the rooms." Our group of friends at the back of the room started cracking up and yelling "Marty!!!" during the meeting. The head RA got pissed and questioned our floor RA why we were laughing, he told her and it turned out that safety warning was completely unrelated to the Marty incident, it was something they told the freshman every year, we just thought it was because of Marty.
We only saw him once since, but I think he got the impression from our giggling and staring that he is now an anomoly on the floor. He hasnt showed up since.
Four days ago, a few of us played a prank on our RA, Josh. We took a condom and filled it with liquid soap and spit, then put it over his doorknob. On the whiteboard was written: "Joshy, you forgot something! <3 Martycakes." Josh literally fell on the ground laughing. Since then Marty has been known as Martycakes, and has transformed more into a legend than the actual person.
So when I grow up and have kids, I will warn them, lock your doors at night, or else Martycakes might come in and pay you a visit!
I was raised on animal cruelty.
My sister and I were reminiscing about some old movies we used to watch as a kid. Most of them had to do with Animals, Homeward Bound, The Lion kind and of course, Milo and Otis. Its an enjoyable flick about a kitten and a pug that become friends and end up on a dangerous adventure. They ford down rivers, trudge through blizzards and snow, get bitten by all sorts of other animals and even get tossed off a cliff by Japanese filmmakers! I remember my mom would always tell us that they used a doll as the kitten when she falls off the cliff, but even back then I could tell that it was real. That kitten went flying, and I doubt the thing even earned a paycheck. Its fun to watch old movies like this and think of the outrage they would cause today.
