Is there somewhere I can read about all the memes of /prog/?

In before SCIP.

Oh, well you are just precious.

You can read up on them, but unfortunantly you've missed the beat; you'll never be able to experience the joy of memes during their gestation period.

You probably won't believe me, but I've invented a few memes of my own. First, there's the forced indentation meme. Some guy posted a ``Bad things about Python" thread, which I proceeded to troll by posting ``One word, forced indenting. Thread over.''

After a while, I posted the extended version (``forced indentation of code...'') which literally spread like wildfire from then on.

There's also the ``My other car is a cdr'' meme. I created a ``Programmer's Joke" thread, where the two jokes I posted were ``My other car is a cdr'' and the dec 25/oct 31 joke. The former seems to have caught on quite well, the latter didn't do so good.

I think it was around that time someone began posting ``suave yoshi'' lisp, after someone's somethingawful forum avatar (it was, literally, a suave looking yoshi)

That's about all of the meme's I know of. There's also the Expert Programmer meme, which was based on a post about a guy writing an ansi c compiler when he was 12, etc etc... I'm sure we've all read that post and enjoyed a few laughs.

Oh, and of course there's the Touring Complete meme, ducks being touring complete, etc... I'm not sure how that one was formed.

Oh right, I forgot to mention the recent Tuna Fish (failed) meme. I posted a second programmer's joke thread, this time featuring a line from the tunefs man pages ``You can tune a filesystem, but you can't tuna fish''
Unfortantly, by this stage most people had picked up on the whole forcing meme tactic, and so it didn't really catch on. Although a few people here seem to have accepted it okay.

Thanks :D

From my short browse through /prog/ I've enjoyed the cultural uniqueness it has in relation to other boards,  but I do get a sense of decayed former glory.

Regarding the (old) Dec 25 / Oct 31 joke, eggtroll did it best: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.advocacy/browse_thread/thread/1dbfb3a32331f1e9/4a59d554c6455000

You forgot about 'Is this even relevant to the topic or is it just your way of saying "I've read SICP"?'

>>4
`Failed attempt at granting \`tuna fish\' meme status' is my favourite meme.

>>4
I believe the suave space toad lisp copypasta came before the suave mario riding yoshi lisp copypasta (a.k.a. LUE-shi).

I would know, I introduced them both (okay, just the second one).

what the fuck is a lueshi

Also, Google.

YOU FORGOT BBCODE AND NO EXCEPTIONS FAGGOT

>>14
Hey, I made that post at late at night give me a break. I only really posted about the ones I had some personal involvement in, or which really stuck out to me. Yes, there is BBCode, No exceptions, forget it its np complete, enterprise scalable mission critical turnkey synergistic solutions, etc etc . . .
but they aren't as memorable as the ones I posted

>>4
Actually, I invented those memes.

I actually invented the ``I invented that meme" meme. But no one believes me for obvious reason.

HI, I AM G.J. SUSSMAN, FOUNDER AND CEO OF SICP.  WHILE LAMENTING OVER THE LACK OF FORCED INDENTATION IN SCHEME LAST NIGHT, YOUR MOTHER CALLED ME AND ASKED ME IF I WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO HELP HER WITH A SICP EXERCISE;  BEING THE FINE GENTLEMAN THAT I AM, I PUT ON MY DAPPER WIZARD HAT AND ROBE AND WENT OVER TO HER HOUSE.  ROGUISHLY SNEAKING THROUGH THE BACK DOOR I KNOCKED HER OUT WITH A CUDDER AND TORE THE GARMENTS OFF HER RIPE BODY.  HER FULL BREASTS AROUSED ME TO THE DEGREE THAT MY EVALUATOR STOOD STRAIGHT IN THE TIME IT TAKES TO DO A LAZY COMPUTATION.  NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTAIN MYSELF, I SHOVED MY RIGHTEOUS SUSSBOY IN THE MANHOLE OF THE FINE LASS.  IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT DESIGNED FOR A MAN OF MY OBSCENE GIRTH, AND SHE WOKE UP FROM THE PAIN.  NOT CARING ABOUT ANYTHING BUT MY MANLINESS, I CONTINUED THRUSTING AS SHE FAINTED AGAIN FROM THE AGONIZING TORTURE OF THE TRIPEDAL CREATURE LOOMING OVER HER.  IN A MINUTE I WAS ABOUT TO EXPLODE WITH THE FORCE OF SEVERAL ANGRY SUPERNOVAS IN A SACK,  --  THE FLOOD CAME, AND LIKE MOSES I CLEAVED HER IN HALF FROM THE SHOCK.  NOT STOPPING, I SHOVED THE HOSE IN HER EYE SOCKET AND LET THE REST OF THE SAUCE ENTER HER SKULL.  AFTER THAT I WENT HOME AND READ SICP UNTIL I FELL ASLEEP. I GUARANTEE IT.

HI, I'M PAUL GRAHAM, FOUNDER AND CEO OF Y COMBINATOR. I HAVE MADE MANY INSIGHTFUL STATEMENTS IN MY ESSAY ENTITLED "YOUR MOTHER AND THE 48 VERY SMART PEOPLE" AND WOULD LIKE TO THANK TREVOR BLACKWELL, ROBERT MORRIS AND JESSICA LIVINGSTON FOR HAVING READ DRAFTS OF THIS ESSAY, WHICH YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND WITH 21 OTHERS ESSAYS IN MY UPCOMING BOOK "HACKERS AND YOUR SISTER". I GUARANTEE IT.

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless
help screens and cursor positioning code!  I just want an EDitor!!
Not a "viitor".  Not a "emacsitor".  Those aren't even WORDS!!!!
ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

How do you pronounce EXPERT PROGRAMMER?
1) FUQIN ANGRY
2) achieved satori
3) self.__name__ (faggot)
4) Other

>>25
I wrote this.

>>36
Wrong, I did.  I have written most of the variations of popular copypasta in /prog/: ZIMMER, PIG DISGUSTING, you are the demons, etc.

>>37
Where do you get your inspiration from?

>>37
Maybe you did, but I've done it independently of you.

>>38
I have a morning ritual that I need to share. I call it 'the sussman'. First I crouch down in the shower in the classic 'I put on my robe and wizard hat' pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Sussman or Abelson and I start to hum the SICP theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed through my day as an emotionless EXPERT PROGRAMMER. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my sussman leg. It ruins the fantasy.

>>39
Once you've seen my copypasta once, you are tainted for life!@
