Yeah but are you this old?
Remember the striper versions on porn sites?
I never understood who the market was. Like why would you want a little stripper clippy/bonzo buddy assistant?
*stripper
As a fisherman, I've seen this typo go the other way countless times...but this is a first.
What's the connection between striping and fishing?
Striped Bass are commonly called "stripers".
All over the Internet, fishermen post on fora and social media looking for "tips and suggestions for stripper fishing" and get appropriately ridiculous responses.
Nice. They're trying to hook strippers?
The same people who wanted a loud 3D envelope telling them they received an email.

They were on peak 10 years ago. Bar is not too high imho
I was already old when those were new.
I, too, miss the days of ASCII art.
The sad thing is this ain't that old.
You think you're old, but are you creepy-ass CGI dancing baby old?
I'm even older. I was around to see the very first internet viral meme. That CGI dancing baby. I saw it even before it was featured on Ally McBeal, thus also starting the tradition of killing a viral meme when it hit mainstream.
And who could forget
wololo
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Viral memes on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched CGI babies dance in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.

First term of Obama old.
I remember when the internet started
People would use these templates to create meandering comic style blog posts and present them as memes. It seems like they were the first generation of memes that went fully mainstream and imo were very bad because people could not help but make the comics very long and boring.
