      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?

            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.

    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.

      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.

      I’ve sent emails over a 1200 baud modem line.
