Maybe there's a thread on this somewhere, but I haven't seen it yet.   I'd be real interested in a thread about how some of our proprietary Surly humor got started.  In particular I am curious about the origins of the "Is HEB open" line.  Same for "PM Derka"  I know some of this goes back several iterations of the site and some even has roots in the old harridan's site.  Ones I fell for when I first hooked in here were the "I did your mom last night" and "PM Derka."  So I might be too gullible to deserve knowing how most of these started.

I think I can take credit or blame for "Is HEB open". And I feel like this one is pretty anticlimactic, although maybe I'm just still wrong after 15 years. Origin of that is that I started a thread with a title "Is HEB open", the body of the thread may have simply been "today?", the day in question was probably the 4th of July. I think it was a patriotic holiday, 4th of July feels right. The consensus from Shaggy was that it was a ridiculous thread to start when one could simply call HEB to find a definitive answer, but also I did get a definitive answer within a few minutes without having to look up a number or talk to a person on the phone. It was open (on that day).

I think PM Derka was a prank to get new users to ask Derka for help with any questions they have about the board, but mostly about how to get access to NSAA/no sex at all, the earlier incarnation of I'd Pee in her Butthole.

 

I wish we still had some of the archives. I think the MS Paint Sex Stories thread invented the term "angry dolphin" to describe the reaction to accidental anal and I've gotten some mileage out of that term.

 

I'm trying to remember the two picture ranking methodologies - JT vs Mitch?

Whenever a poster replies with "You can't handle the truth," I came up with that.

Who came up with your mom?

I can't tell you whether any specific poster came up with this, but way before the "South Austin's mom" trope started I was pretty liberal with the "your mom" comments on Shaggy.  I guess too liberal, because at some point other posters banded together, and the "your mom" comments became the more-directed "South Austin's mom" comments, which transferred over to Surly. 

And now the 12-year-olds who sign up on Surly and post in the gaming threads will tag me in a random post about my mom, because Surly.

I don't think "angry dolphin" originated here. I'm pretty sure I remember it making the rounds in one of those early 2000s email forwards with a few dozen funny-but-nonsensical ornately oddball sex acts - "two dogs in a bathtub," "Arabian goggles," "gorilla mask (with or without the witch doctor variation)," "Cleveland Steamer," etc. 

Funny, I was trying to remember the different ranking systems the other day, and I couldn't come up with anything as stupid and illogical as whichever one the dumb system was.

Nah, but it got injected here as South A described. The MS Paint worst sex experiences thread initially, then the thread was moved into the classics archive.

It’s a shame all that content is gone. I wonder if that old content could be revived (threads locked) and turned into a history/archive subdomain of surly?
