X? More like Y, amirite? via growabrain, I was perusing Wikipedia's "List of Snowclones" when the example of the very last one on the list got up and BIT me![More:]
Example: Wendell? More like Wen-DULL, amirite?
And I sincerely disagree with WikiP's assessment that that is a 21st Century Snowclone, since I recall hearing that specific example in Grade School in the 1960s (although the spelling of "amirite" is new)
And I see from the edit history that it was created by
IP Address : 74.110.224.149
Location : Canada (95% accuracy)
Host Name : CPE000b6a390a0e-CM000f9f7b2ddc.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com

Dang it. I was hoping it was somebody from Fox News so I could brag about it around msnbc.com...

Anyway, since I have no known enemies in Canada, I'll assume they were referring to a different Wendell.

Huh growabrain linked to my metafilter set at flickr. He spelled Metafilter the flickr-ish way. I didn't know until right now that taz designed his site. She's a whiz.

Growabrain is a cool guy. I had pneumonia last year and I was kicking around my house, utterly unable to do anything at all except sit in a chair panting gently, so I logged on to Amazon's Mechanical Turk to get some work to do. I ended up transcribing an interview someone had done of him, asking his opinion on all kinds of real estate questions, which was a pretty interesting interview. Got paid about $8 for it too.
