I knew of it from PJs DUmmie FUnnies as posted on Free Republic but was not aware of the more specific details.

Well, I'm kind of wondering about the marketing potential for an Andy doll, an Andy board game, an Andy mask for Halloween, an Andy lunchbox for school, an Andy line of colognes, whatnot.

A little.

I had been on FR and had just discovered CU.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

I voted a lot.  That was when I started reading PJ's Funnies.  I was relatively new to the internet at the time and couldn't believe how long the FR comment threads would go - 2000+ replies, daily.

The original source of coach's internet fame was the 2005 saga of the round red sodomite.
A hilarious take on it from the DUmmies:

And Bill Pitt, twenty-four business hours before he became a laughingstock at the DUmp:

Coach's masterful coup de grace, finishing the bastard off, brought superstardom.

It was like a DUmp version of Kim Kardashian's sex tape.

Ah, good times, good times.

We didn't have a chance this year, to mark the ninth anniversary of the scam that rocked the internet, beginning at 3:30 p.m. central time, 2:30 p.m. mountain time, April 30, 2005, and I've felt the void.

Don't want to imagine what that smells like at this point.

This might be a regional thing, but years ago, when I lived in Lincoln (Nebraska), there was a certain odor of cologne that was favored by gays.  I no longer remember what the odor was, but they all used it, and so one didn't have to use other means of detecting gaiety.

But that was years ago; I dunno what they like smelling like now.

Was a little before my time, though I am all caught up on what happened.

Is he "that Andy"?  The one you snuffed?

I always thought one of the funniest things about the red-headed sodomite was the nickname he gave his boyfriend, "termite".

Remember the DUmmie ALERT!s posted interrupting the DUmmie FUnnies every time poor stupid Beth did something singularly stupid.....again?

There were hundreds of them, but alas I only ever saved one.

It seems we remember Andy with more clarity than the average primitive does.

There was a rhyme and reason as to which of the three jpgs I used, and usually two of them in some combination on each DUmmie ALERT!, but it's been so long now I've forgotten what it was.
