Is this in the Neckronomicon?

[–]Bellairs[S] 1 point2 points ago

I see what you did there.

repost

[–]io_di 8 points9 points ago

It's so much of a repost, even your comment "repost" is a repost of a repost.

My high school english teacher told us that on first dates, he would wear three ties and bring his date a bunch of broccoli instead of flowers. His thinking was that if he made a bad first impression, her opinion could only go up from there.

Rumor had it he was dismissed from the all-girls school he was previously a teacher at because he got too "friendly" with the girls.

Regardless, he was one of the best teachers I ever had. Way better than Robin Williams in Dead Poet's, but twice as hairy.

Where exactly did you repost this from?

[–]Deus_ex_West 0 points1 point ago

He got it from College Humor. There's a little signature in the fourth panel.

Here's the original link to the webpage hosted at CollegeHumor: http://www.collegehumor.com/article/6386343/5-new-ways-to-tie-a-tie

Cheers for posting, this was fun :D

My father loved ties, I inherited so much ties from him that I can create my own personal army of Tie-Thulus. Soon world i shall come for you

[–]JJFresh814 -1 points0 points ago

it seems that all it takes now to get upvotes is an old CollegeHumor article...

[–]Bellairs[S] -1 points0 points ago

I don't get it, I thought it was funny, and 500 some others thought so too. If it's from college humor, so what? Most of the content on Reddit comes form somewhere else anyways :/

It's not like 50 other people posted this before me today and I'm only reposting for karma...

[–]JJFresh814 2 points3 points ago

CollegeHumor deserves the traffic. CollegeHumor isn't a huge company, and AT least 800 people have already seen this post. It's almost identical to pirating a great TV show on the bubble. The amount of views it gets is very important.

You obviously stumbled upon the article at some point, so why not just submit the whole article? Those non-annoying advertisement backgrouds and top banners help pay that writer's salary. I know it's a small amount on this post, but you are literally robbing them of some much needed money

Because a lot of people continue to do the same thing (including to sites like Explosm and the Oatmeal included), reposting their work on sites like Imgur instead of simply reposting their work on their FREE sites, these continuing acts on Reddit must have robbed small businesses of a combined (at least) 5-figure number by now.
