#chad meme

I was not online very much as a kid. I never got most social media and I was told never to make accounts on any websites without permission, so I was largely ignorant of internet cultural phenomena until I got older.

When I was in middle school, I was trying to make friends with some of the older kids at my school-- not with any specific intentions, I just wanted to make friends. I ended up finding out that this one boy three years older than me, whose name was Zach, shared a common interest with me, so I introduced myself to him. When he introduced himself back, he joked, "I'm Zach, but my friends call me Chad."

A grave mistake. He had given me access to a name he claimed his friends used, therefore granting me the status of friend... and he had told me to call him Chad.

So I called him Chad, publicly, every time I saw him. When I ran into him at school events I went up to him and called him Chad. When I saw him on field trips I waved at him and called him Chad. When I saw him the next summer at music camp I shouted at him across a crowd full of band kids: "Chad! It's me!" By the time he figured out I was talking to him, quite a few others probably had as well.

I do, but I am glad you know that too my sweet Gavinist :)

Cos, I'm honestly sick & tired of paleo artists giving those animals, especially the stags, such pronounced withers & skinny necks like an emaciated horse

Like, you cannot tell me that the Irish Elk, with their huge-ass antlers wider than even that of a fucking moose, had skinny ass necks
