Best? Oh I think that would have to be The Hasselhoffian Recursion.

Hugh, you might want to try that again.

Everybody around here knows about not direct linking images and how come, right?

Here is The Hasselhoffian Recursion, in all its magnificence, courtesy of killdevil. Just try to look away. You want to, and yet you cannot.

whenever I try to post an inline, it previews fine, then when I hit "post" I get

iconomy might win with that, although he might also have won with the gay Tom Cruise image from the worst thread ever.

killdevil deserves credit for bringing Hasselhoff to 9622v2, but, to be fair, this guy created it. (From here.)

What, you didn't see the puppies in the prior thread?

posted by Smart Dalek 17 June | 16:27

Yes, they were awful cute. But I'm acronymically challenged (read: retarded) and I don't know what TWAJS means.

posted by Hugh Janus 17 June | 16:34

It means that was a joke, son.

posted by iconomy 17 June | 16:44

Hey, that was my joke! Awww, cantcha put it back? Boo hoo.

posted by Hugh Janus 17 June | 16:58

When I saw the word awesome I was, like all 'yeah right' and then I clicked on the link and I was like so 'dude, that's awesome!' and then I emailed it to all my buddies and they were like 'dude, that's the most awesome thing I've ever seen'

Seriously dude, if it was down to me that would win.

Heh. I think I might be easily amused.

posted by dodgygeezer 18 June | 05:52

Great. This is post-weekend and thus off the fp, but what do you mean, taz, by asking was it hosted on my own space? Should it have been? (asked not with snark but with beguiling innocence)
