On the interweb?

I've said and posted some profound shit in the past on social media. I've since nuked all accounts, we are a FB free home now since May.

Any of you guys secret internet stars? Ever seen any of your original thoughts posted elsewhere? Been quoted elsewhere?

I've had multiple threads on the front page of Reddit, thanks to a few video game subreddits.

No and wouldn't want to.

ETA: one of my videos on YouTube has 1100 views and I feel like a celebrity for it.

There is a photo of an AK under folder with four mags taped together looking like a ninja star with masking tape leaning against a wall. That's as close as I've every come, and that photo still pops up almost ten years later randomly.

I was a brief YouTube star for an arrest I made.  Consider this a tease because I am not sharing it as it would lead to my real name and department.

Being quoted in a few people's Sig Lines here on Arfcom is about as far as I've come.

Not exactly famous.

My buddy and I make snap chats about doing funny shit when drunk.

They usually just go around our unit, couple quick LOLs, and it's gone.

No not really.  I had a YouTube video get like 1.5 million hits over the course of a year or two.  at the time I had about 100 videos and I never understood why 95 percent of all my views were that video.

get on any political FB page with thousands of readers/followers and comment on their post with a message that relates to most of the visitors. 300+ likes by the end of the day.
That said, I've reached front page on Imgur with some anti-liberal content. Don't visit that site anymore though. Too infected with socialists.

Sort of. I've made several Christmas Story/Ralphie photochops over the years, the first one showing up all over the place, including once in the Washington Times.

I was featured on a popular TV network's FB page. We shot a "live show" in my studio and got 50k likes during the broadcast.

If I google image search "shower ar15", the first image that comes up is a photo I took.   link

It was part of the whole "shower gun" thread.  

It is as close to viral as I can get.

Back when the Doom 3 Alpha leaked, I was one of the first to get it and post up screenshots and other info about it. Needless to say that the response was insane and id definitely wasn't happy

I was in a old viral photo from awhile ago. Remember the hockey team picture of the kid puking? That was my team, I am in the photo, and I am still friends with the puker No I am not the kid that got puked on. He didnt get it very bad either, just down the back of his jersey.
Playing Eagan Wildcats youth hockey.

Not really viral but a coworker that knows I am into musclecars asked me to look into a car his dad left him when he passed away. He said it had a 427 in it.
His dad was a bodyman and he bought it new in 68 and painted it to match the interior. It was originally black. He also grafted the spoiler on it before the paintjob. Wheels and shitty straight exhaust were added. His dad siezed the engine and parked it with almost no miles on it







The viral part cones after posting it on the Yenko forum. These pics showed up in scams on ebay and craigslists for about a decade. A couple times I was tracked down through the Yenko board, which I only joined to ask about the car, to explain the story behind them. I think a bunch of guys lost their ass over these pics

Some scout took the rights to a video I made and it went all over, was an article on the daily mail in the UK that triggered people. Then "fatherly" FB page stole it and edited it shorted, got well over 100k views from them. Then the company I have the rights to tracked them down and I got about $50 from them. Made $280 total

Yeah...I took this picture outside of Chesapeake, VA.  It's difficult to tell, but the license plate says "GODANUS".

I'm sure they meant to say "God and us", but were limited to seven letters.



It went sort of viral many years ago.

Here's the actual license plate (this is not my picture).  I took the above picture.

Rand Paul came to an Arfcom home town shoot in '10, no media, he shot a bit and took some pics-I posted a lot of them here---they've been copied a thousand times over

I also posted this video

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CDs7Z32Q4hs

Steve Colbert  used it for a hit piece on Rand a couple years later.

My Vortex Sparc review has 100k+ hits (vortex industry page)

That's the best I got

No, and I don't want to.

It only shows that you are "typical".
