Crap!

I always show up too late to play with the new trolls.

Since the original [Little Nemo](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Nemo) is a guy, your incredulity is rather strange.

In fact, every major ‘Nemo’ is a guy, _including_ the fish.

The fact that Nemo is a male name and every character named Nemo is a man didn’t tip you off? I figured you were making a joke.

I’m fifty and I’m retired.

Listen, hell, the thing you’re missing is that we’ve seen all this before. It happens five or ten times a year. Somebody comes on the board and starts shotgunning posts all over the place. If they don’t get enough attention immediately, they push it (sometimes they use a gimmick like posting in colors or not using punctuation or a catchphrase).

Somebody notices them and says something. Then they act like some huge controversy has erupted and people all over the board are taking sides. This will be an epic war the likes of which the internet has never seen before.

Meanwhile most people don’t care. Most people don’t even notice. These guys usually end up getting banned or declaring they’re quitting the board. And we forget about them a week later. Maybe if you’re lucky somebody a couple of months from now will say something like “Hey you remember that guy that post haikus in the pit? What was his name again? Is he still posting here or what?” And the reason they’ll be asking is because there’s some new guy acting the same way.

Maybe you should consider not being this guy. Stop being a cliche. Just start posting like a normal person. Or don’t. Like I said, we’ll get plenty more people here to replace you if you go.

But, if you’re lucky, you’ll learn from the experience, have some sort of training montage, and make it through unbanned with only one embarrassing board meme associated with your name. There’s hope for you yet!

Posting haikus in the pit isn’t new, either.

Undoubtedly. But like I said, most of these guys pass through unnoticed by the majority. I must have either missed previous haiku guys or forgot about them.

LN did I leave an impression upon you? Well I declare…

(I’m really not that bad a person. I promise. Just a little cabin fever this weekend. Laid up for 3 days led me to act up. It’s not an excuse but nonetheless I apologize.)

And once all the first-order pr0n has been made, you can make a video of the first person to make the last video. Then make a recreation of the first person to make the last video. Etc.
