this lived in my high-school e-mail chatrooms as a gif.
It was often used as a reply for when we'd be sarcastically thrilled about something.
such as: [time for a GROUP PROJECT!] <.gif>
For Context:
This was after they figured out how to block Skype from being downloaded to our laptops. They had fully integrated Google and dropped sitewide Microsoft Word, which many of us absolutely HATED bc it lacked all the fun customization options. The UPSIDE was that for the first time ever, an e-mail service was accessible through the school's firewall. Before that point, NO student laptop could access ANY e-mail service. SO that meant it was now possible for a gaggle of web surfers to show off their personal gif libraries.
Common habits included:
-Politely deleting some or all of the duplicate Reply tags. as in turning this ->RE:((RE:(RE:Title))) into this -> Re:Title.
-Resizing your gif so it wasn't bigger than the window
-Reserving the 'rarest' highly-specific gifs to use in that once-in-a-million chance where it could be perfectly in context. (like the jpgs
from the Simpsons that appear, without fail, on my Dash) The pure euphoria from seeing [WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT???] as an immediate reply. Just-*chef's kiss*
