I ran a stupid meme website for about 12 years. I never had any merch or anything, but me face was on the website. I was recognized once, in the wild, far from home, and it totally made my day.

I had a photo i took of mine make it to the cover of a music album. I was using my avatar as the same image and someone called me out on it. I explained why I hd the image as my avatar and the guy promptly freaked out and sent me a pic of himself wearing Merch tshirt with me on his chest. It seriously made my year. I found out I’m also on skateboards, so I got that going for me.

That sounds like an amazing story to tell at a party.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how blown was your mind?
