Re: WHAT I KNOW ABOUT: didcot
[quote name="Pieter"][quote name="Mischief Maker"][quote name="Fussbett"]didcot started out at didcotmassif, which I always assumed was inspired by Ali G's "Staines Massive", except for the region of <a href="http://www.didcot.gov.uk/" target="didcot">Didcot</a>. However, for all I know both didcot and Ali G are referencing the same British in-joke. didcot played in a band that everytually fell apart to the sadness of many poster-fans, notably Senor Barborito, who really enjoyed didcot's music. The music connection didn't end there, as didcot was RL friends with LLB (aka loyallovingbitch) who was in the band "<a href="http://www.mclusky.net/" target="mclusky">McLusky</a>". Many people's first impression of didcot was not favourable, thanks to his RanDoMlY aLtErnAtiNG Caps ANd LowEr CasE TYpIng StyLe, but many more agreed his extremely brief posts were often funny. Someone eventually made a script for a didcotizer, to scramble your inputted text into the random caps. didcot was around long before Fussbett, was <a href="http://friends.portalofevil.com/sp.php?si=3&fi=000021096&ti=1000486829?=1000487566" target="poe">personally invited to Caltrops from POE by Homosayswhat?</a>, after the OMMpocalypse but only posted here once or twice, with normal capitalization. [/quote] I could be completely wrong about this, but I believe Didcot joined up during that short guestbook rampage fad (later copied slavishly by Something Awful.) One of the guestbooks attacked was an english (or possibly irish) soccer team. I think Didcot came to OMM to retaliate, then took a liking to the place. But I could be wrong as I never really took part in the whole guestbook thing.[/quote] He joined with a less funny friend who later got bored and left. I think his fucked writing style was a parody of leet speak, which was his counter to a couple of the OMM crew adobting cockney accents and posting a screed in his football guestbook about raping a British housemaid.
