Man, I remember some of the pee-ins we had back in the day, man. Wasn't like how things're today, y'know? Back then, it used to be about the urine. People forget that.

He wasn't speaking about this site so much as he was telling people that they would never be able to create such an awesome community and should seek a different line of work. When that MySpace page was on the screen, he yelled, "This is the kind of fucking junk losers like you make."
