ROFL

That maneuver was in _every_ Starfox, wasn't it?  I know my son did it all the time in Starfox DS (whatever it's called).

Yeah but you can claim it's a Starfox reference, but you and your frat buddies are chuckling cuz it's dirty.

I watched it start trending just after lunch on Twitter, it's spreading pretty damn fast.

Other trending topics are that it's sandwich day and that some form of Bieber got more mindless zombie followers

SANDWICH DAY

Absolutely.

Now I'm hungry, especially with all the kids eating their halloween candy around me.

SANDWICH DAY

top Google results:

http://www.punchbowl.com/holidays/national-sandwich-day
"November 3, 2011 is National Sandwich Day
Today is a celebration of one of America's favorite foods: the sandwich! It is no coincidence that November 3 is also the birthday of John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich. This 18th century English noble wanted to eat his meal with one hand during a 24-hour gambling event (poker, apparently), so he instructed his servants to serve him his lunchmeat between two slices of bread. To commemorate the birth of the world's first sandwich-maker, November 3 is now National Sandwich Day!"
