	It's like the herpes of the internet world. You've already been exposed to every single communicable disease that I have ever had, which explains your immunity to it! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hey copycats are even better than lemmings. Thanks for reminding us of that. And Drake has a point, they are kind of contagious. Especially with how many attention whores are running around this place. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Not that you would know anything about attention whores. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nope, not a thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps we'll be lucky enough to spot one in it's natural habitat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_talkback_ 2011-03-25 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	I can't imagine they'd be hard to miss. They do everything for the attention after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	power_vacuum 2011-03-25 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	It is their defining characteristic. Secondary characteristics have been purported to include ruffling the feathers of any unlucky enough to encounter them and continuous talking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_talkback_ 2011-03-25 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	Yup. That'd definitely be hard to miss. Unless there's a whole flock of them. Then it'd be figuring out which one you're looking for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	power_vacuum 2011-03-25 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Especially considering how they feed off of each other in those types of situations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_talkback_ 2011-03-25 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Well, yeah. Everybody else knows ignoring them is the only way to make them go away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The problem is that most people seem to completely miss the point and just add fuel to their fire. They're an epidemic of massive proportions. Someone really must think of the children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_talkback_ 2011-03-26 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Poor kids. Last thing they need is being encouraged... Oh wait, you're talking about the other kids. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	power_vacuum 2011-03-26 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Depends on whose side you're on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_talkback_ 2011-03-26 12:09 am UTC (link)
	The winning side, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	power_vacuum 2011-03-26 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Winners are not always so clearly defined. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_talkback_ 2011-03-26 12:15 am UTC (link)
	That's what keeps it interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent)

You have a strange obsession with lemmings. It's even stranger because it's based on a misconception about lemmings. They don't do the mass suicide thing. The article that started that rumor involved launching lemmings off of a cliff using a turntable. They didn't do it themselves, so your constant comparisons really hold no water (incidentally, lemmings do sometimes drown in somewhat large numbers when they're crossing large bodies of water, but still... that's migration, not groups deciding to do stupid things).

	Well thank you Ms. Pryde for the nature lesson. I am now feeling incredibly enlightened and sheepish for purporting a common myth for the sake sarcastic humor. It was clearly wasted on the audience in question. My bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-03-26 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Protip: Purporting myths for sarcastic humor only works when it's actually humorous. No, it wasn't. I just don't want you to have the lemming rights organizations coming after you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_talkback_ 2011-03-26 12:39 am UTC (link)
	You know I'd scoff at lemming rights' organizations existing, but they probably do. Especially since you just mentioned them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lemmings are a long misunderstood and oppressed species. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_talkback_ 2011-03-26 12:45 am UTC (link)
	And now I am seeing a bunch of lemmings with protest signs with slogans. "Know the truth!" "We didn't jump off those rocks, they jumped off us!" Stuff like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-03-26 12:58 am UTC (link)
	Very tiny signs. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What did you expect when you posted a meme? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-03-26 12:30 am UTC (link)
	Doug! Lover! Long time no talk! How have you been? Expecting it doesn't make it any less true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fish_in_my_ear 2011-03-26 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Not too bad. And anytime you want to talk, I'm not hard to find. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I'm in Japan this weekend, so I'll be hard to find... but we can make a talk date for when I get back! (Reply to this) (Parent)
