RIP Thread

  • The Kiwi Farms was targeted with a historic DDoS attack last week. Confirmed reports of 2.8Tbps on an individual provider, topping 4.8Tbps when known volumes are added together, and possibly up to 8Tbps if the attacker is believed. This is the third of fourth largest recorded.

The world has lost a true ancient meme legend to the wrath of the 'beetus at last.

May songs of direct order diabetic supplies sing thee to thy rest.
 
Watch "The Natural" again, and then realize Brimley was only two years older than Redford. 😲
He was prematurely aged for Cocoon. He was actually twenty years younger than most of his elderly co-stars, and only eleven years older than his screen daughter. He's one of those people who stuck looking like one age, in his case years before he actually was that old.

Calling him the Oatmeal guy worried me, though, because it made me think of the cartoonist first. Diabeetus definitely comes to mind for Wilford Brimley ads before anything else, for me.

Now I'm just trying to imagine a 6 year old boy being called Wilford. He didn't just have a quintessential old man face, he had a quintessential old man name as well.
