Entertaining article on the fail meme.

I sometimes wonder how "normal" people perceive this mass of variously geeky people on the net who practically speak a different language by now. I sometimes wonder how my parents would react if I sent them an email declaring that "I pwn3d some n00bs".



Probably the same way that their reacted when they told them that mellowing out was groovy. Or the way _their_ parents reacted when they told them that the hep cats were jumpin'. Or the way _their_ parents reacted when told that some bird was the bee's knees.

Shrugging and invisibly rolling one's eyes seems like appropriate.


way that their reacted

Noun fail!
