Good Google, good Google.  Who's a good boy, who's a good boy? That's right you are, yes you are.

Doh, doesn't work in IE9 natively

[Mr. Analog]

What in the heck is that?

[Thorin]

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).

Hey I tried it in chrome first, but then send to co-worker and they only have IE; no worky.  Tried on my own IE, and no worky .

Also a prank phone call on Tom Green's live phone-in Internet talk show thingie (Urban Dictionary definition)

[Mr. Analog]

I'm pretty sure that's where the prankster got the idea, the meme's been around forever

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.
