So,
http://www.textfiles.com is amazing. Ridiculous amounts of old text files, ascii art, bbs messages, all sorts of internet history, all in happy decorative ascii, heeeeee.
But
this... blows my mind.

The History of Real K-K00L D00DS, by The Edge
While the still-common habit of bad spelling (replacing U for You, 0 for O, Z for S, and similar gunk) in communication might seem a somewhat new fad, in fact it goes back for over a decade. In this file (circa 1985), you can already see that it's been around long enough to be made fun of in a parody text. The Edge engages in a pretty amusing sample "chat" session in the middle of the file, that really makes me laugh, because I really did get users like that. And people think talking like this is still cutting edge?TWENTY FECKING YEARS, AND THE LOSERS STILL DO IT AND THINK IT'S COOL!!! -________-;;;
..in the meantime, geek humour kicks ass. <3
