Who are the F***ing Elitists?

AnalBumCover · 06-23-2004, 01:49 PM

...and how did the term come to fruition?

And what the heck does "dola" mean?

John Galt · 06-23-2004, 01:51 PM

The elitists are the genetically and intellectually superior members of FOFC.

I believe the term was coined by Shorty, but I could be wrong.

F***ing Plebians!

Actually, the term was coined by Shorty to refer to members of what became the IHOF. Thus I am elite, and you are scum.

Now YOU get ME a beer, bitch!

Tigercat · 06-23-2004, 02:17 PM

I believe, the specific phrase was coined when a joke picture with a song was posted(along with a thread title saying something like "the funniest thing ever" IIRC), and most members voiced that said animation was not funny at all. Shorty somehow must have found the animation as funny as the original poster, for he defended it by calling virtually everyone on the thread "fucking elitists" At least thats the first time I can remember Shorty using it.

I believe you are mistaken young grasshopper. Shorty's use of the term predated IHOF by a large margain. Now apologize before I punish you with a trout to the rectum.

It is definitely a Shorty quote, and I think it came in some thread as part of one of his misguided defenses of some Troll of the Week.

I really don't think it was by a 'large margin,' but I think it was unrelated.

Remember, IHOF was loosely formed on October 20th of last year.

Fritz · 06-23-2004, 02:58 PM

those are knuckle trails? I have been following them around thinking the loose fof women have been dragging their labia around.

And a search for "fucking elitist" posts puts 11/10 as the first date (although the thread has Shorty explaining rules about calling people this vile term. The first time I saw it was Shorty whining about not getting an IHOF invitation).

I can see where you would get confused about the date of the IHOF - it did start play about six months after forming.

cthomer5000 · 06-23-2004, 03:04 PM

Can anyone actually track down the original post? The closest thing I can find was my referencing it here, and Shorty correcting me. This was in mid-November last year. I recall his post being very fresh (within two weeks) at the time I posted the now-famous term.

Samdari pretty much said what I said. If we can't prove where the term started, the debate about it's origin may never cease...

That's the same day that my son-to-be was conceived. I'm surprised I had the time, to be honest, with the IHOF starting up and all.

What a great day!

yeah, look it up yourself. It's the thread "some recent e-mails" in the IHOF forum. SkyDog posted it after a couple emails were sent back and forth that evening.

A banner day for you.

I am writing to update y'all. The league is now "full," although I'm holding spot #32 for Jim Gindin, who has agreed to reconsider his position about joining! Here are our other owners:

Ben E Lou · 06-23-2004, 03:52 PM

1. Technically, IHOF's beginnings should be traced to the day that FOF2K4 was announced. When I go the word that FOF2K4 was on the way, I immediately prepared a PM which I sent to 15-20 people who I wanted to play against. I sent that PM a few minutes after Jim posted the announcement (a month or so before the release). I don't recall the actual date, but that could be easily found.

2. I believe the "funniest thing ever" post was where the term originated. I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with IHOF.

I could have sworn this one was right. Somebody got sent to the Penalty Box and SHorty felt it wasn't justified. When a bunch of old-timers stuck up for SD, Shorty called them "Fucking elitists"...

i have to give credit to cthomer for carrying this gimmick for me, as you can see by searching, i haven't used it much. misewell start up again. but i had a running gag where i posted it nearly in every thread for a little bit, and skydog sent me a pm or something along the lines of 'stop that', and so i, well, did i guess. heh.
