My money is that it's some Demi-God in joke. Personally I like it.

 

[r.j.s]

You've noticed those too? They've been following me everywhere for days.

 

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I noticed it too. I think it's pretty funny.

 

[Love]

Yeah, I noticed them coming in to my posts too. 😕

Wow, there is some royalty in here: 2 Six-Oh-Ones, a Six-Oh-Four and Demis.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

They are pretty funny, maybe a puzzle of some sorts? But none of them are as funny, or as puzzling as your drunk post from the other day Duke, haha.

Some stupid in-joke that we're not cool enough to be a part of..

 

[iBlue]

Trivia?!

Some stupid in-joke that we're not cool enough to be a part of..

Maybe it's a bit of fun. Not that I'd know.

As you were...

 

[RedTomato]

I'm not sure either. Should we complain to Arn?

I think they are called out-jokes. Maybe not.

 

[niuniu]

I think they are called out-jokes. Maybe not.

Well, whatever it is I'll be damned if it happens on my watch again

Drawing on my fine command of the language, I said nothing.

I think it's hilarious... I wish some people had the command of language that the quoted has... 😀

Wait a sec ... You're a Demi and you didn't have a random edit line quote, I smell something funny.

 

[Padraic]

I just noticed that... It may be that I don't post that often...

I do more reading than posting. By the time I get around to reading a post there's usually a ton of replies either answering the original poster or saying the same thing I'd have said.

 

[dmmcintyre3]

I'v noticed it too.

Wonder what causes it?

Mine on my 1000th post said "Post 1000!" and that is when it started...

 

[iMacmatician]

I haven't seen them until I opened this thread…maybe I just haven't been noticing them.

 

[benflick]

So you're not intentionally doing it?😎

 

[dmmcintyre3]

We do not.

This thread has to be locked now. I'll Call 007.

 

[BittenApple]

[dukebound85]

oh god. i sense a fad.

why do i sense some are now editing their posts

yea im talking to you non demis lol

 

[spillproof]

I like them. Is that bad?

 

[Ntombi]

I've been noticing it for a few days now, and I think it's hilarious. 🙂 At first I thought it was only one guy with a sense of humor editing his own posts like that, then I started noticing it more.

 

[jmann]

The little edits travel in swarms and strike when you aren't paying attention.. 😉
