Lobster Origins
« on: March 11, 2011, 06:30:34 pm »
It recently came to my attention that no one knows where the "Netham is a lobster" meme started, so I decided to figure it out.  After prolonged searching through irc logs and forum topics, here are my findings:
On Thursday, Febuary 5th, 2009, at precisely 10:28:08 PM, Speler brought the meme into existance with the creation of this topic.  The meme apparently sperad pretty fast, as is evident from irc logs from that very day:
Quote
22:48:14 <Iambian> Netham is a lobster.
22:48:51 <ticalcnoah> I voted lobster
22:48:53 <Netham46> :O
22:48:57 <Netham46> Lies!
22:49:45 * Iambian licks teh lobstery shell of teh Netham, tastes of lobster
22:50:15 * Netham46 scurries away.
22:50:44 * Iambian pounces the lobster and continues licking it!
22:50:48 <DJ_Omnimaga> oO
22:50:53 <Netham46> *acks*
22:50:55 * DJ_Omnimaga grabs Netham46
22:51:11 <Iambian> RAWR!
22:51:17 <Iambian> MY LOBSTER!
22:51:24 * Netham46 pinches DJ_Omnimaga
22:52:02 <DJ_Omnimaga> <.<
22:52:13 <DJ_Omnimaga> mhmm

So there you have it.  Netham is a lobster, no questions asked. O0

Well, after an actual picture of Netham45 was revealed, this fact was quite obvious! ;)

I believe this is why he's blue, but as you can see, some crucial evidence is missing: http://ourl.ca/3204

There's an irc reference from September 15th, 2009 here that appears to be soon after he got his pink nickname. :D

Hehe I remember this, I still haven't figured out how it became popular, though. O.o

It became popular, just like the duck roll.

Yeah, sometimes some stuff gains in popularity for absolute no reason O.o. I guess that's just the Internet. :P

The peanut thing has been running for over 6 years now. It even survived a 6 month shut down (and restart from scratch). XD

On an unrelated note nice to see you around again. :D
