    Default Annual Baritx Day

    If you will all look back into the annals of the Org, you will see that it was on this very day, exactly one year ago, that a certain member of the Org deemed it necessary to post a thread containing a question that I am sure we all remember so very well, a question regarding a faction known as "Bartix", and another faction that was to replace Armenia. The thread that resulted from this seemingly inconsequential question was one of the most legendary in recent memory; its meteoric rise into hilarity, its wonderous tangents and musings, and its tragic Gotterdaemerung, all within the space of 10 days, are the equal of any other great thread within the Org. And so, it is with this in mind, that we are forced to ask a certain question, a question which burns still in our minds:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    "What is the history of the zipper?"



    No, seriously...

    tell what bartix and the faction that replaces armenia got then??




    The origional thread, so that we may look back upon it in the interest of posterity.

    Please, let this be not a day of argument and flaming, but a day of memory.

    Aw, hell... I spaced out on "the day"...

    My mistake. I thought it was the first.

    And here I was, getting all misty-eyed on the wrong day.

    Nevermind! For we can pretend it is the 1st of may. Or if you like, we can pretend the original thread was created on the third!

    Uncool. Get rid of that please. Many people will be quite offended.

    edit: Thanks. I grew up on a farm and am used to seeing that sort of stuff, but it would have quickly grossed out many folks on here I think and wasn't really necessary. Pretty pink bears on umbrellas is funnier anyway.

    As a new member to this formidable forum, may I ask what the original Batrix-thread was about? It would seem it was a laugh, but can someone please elaborate?

    Also, Happy Batrix day, as well a late congratulation to the King of Sweden, whose birthday is on the 1st of May! Yay! Twice the festivities!


    Edit: I would also like to remind everyone on this forum that the official Towel Day is coming up fast. It is celebrated on the 25th of may to celebrate the late Douglas Adams, author of the excellent and (in?)famous book dubbed The Hitchhiker's Guiade to the Galaxy. To show you support and allegiance by carrying yor towel with you the whole day. Thought someone might care....

    This was a little bit before my time, but someone called "Abokasee" posted the famous words "tell what bartix and the faction that replaces armenia got then??". He probably wanted to know what Bactria was and who replaced Armenia, but he was incredibly obnoxious about about. The thread quickly became the funniest in history.

    I remember reading that thread when it had about a first page of posts, and deciding not to bother posting, the lightbulb thing is classic though.

    I actually got a good laugh out of reading that thread again, until I kept seeing names that were once critical EB contributors who have disappeared. Not disappeared from the site, since they still log in here, but disappeared from EB. I am no longer laughing.
