Personally I think we should have a /funny indicator to indicate that a post was good and cool. Everyone enjoys posting online, especially people at insert place here. It will be better to post online if we had an indicator that posts were funny, so we knew when to laugh. /gen

That last one is probably the source, it got reposted to something awful around that time and that's where I grabbed it.

It was in a thread where people would discuss various something awful things, specifically the fact there was a lot of posters in those threads who didn't do anything but talk about something awful. I've used it as a mascot for every meta forum I've made since. I cut my posting teeth in shitredditsays, a community of people who only posted on reddit to talk about reddit, and I never wanted that to happen again.
