The Internet is a worldwide double edged sword. Allowing people to have unprecedented access to accept and gather information is fantastic. The balance to this equation however is enough to overwhelm the novices and continue to harden the veteran users. Rome had their Colosseum, contemporary sports have their stadiums, and cyber-warriors will have their forums.

Forums are the everyman’s battleground. A chance to diminish and obliterate some unsuspecting n00b or to challenge the near-infallible veteran troll. These battles wage until one person often just gives up and leaves, leaving the victor to soak in the e-glory of his latest e-kill. For the most part these fights are victimless but quite a few times intelligence, reason, and logic are not involved in the victory.

If anyone is able to answer the following for me, I would greatly appreciate it, but I have my doubts…

Every day millions of people throughout the world constantly seek validation for their varying efforts. A staggering majority of the time this is ultimately met with almost expected disappointment. I am no exception to this type of human action popularity contest, as I’m also on the lookout for my ingenuity to be rewarded. However at the bequest of the co-originator I refreshed a look at Urbandictionary.com to check the status on my submission from 8/14.

Lo and behold, in all it’s splendor and glory: today’s validation

Honestly, I was ecstatic. It’s not every day you simply make up a word, make up a definition and after nearly 2 months of “Under Review” it finally gets established as a valid entry on the premier slang site for this generation and probably several following it.

So if you haven’t already, get your ass over there and thumbs up that shit like you were hitchhiking to save your life, or Roger Ebert on his favorite flick, or doing your best Buddy Christ impersonation.
