On the origin of turbobs...
« on: January 05, 2013, 03:55:14 AM »
So, I keep hearing about the turbob and was curious about the evolution of the term. Anyone in the know on this?

On the eighth day, God created the turbobs, and saw that it was good.  :)

He's still playing to this day, hence why he hasn't gotten around to the world peace thing.

Oh wow. Hahhahh... I'm getting further and further from understanding as I continue to read this thread and search the Googles.  "A typo that caught on" is the story I'm inclined to believe... But when the Wikipedia page is created, whose name will be credited with that fateful fat finger?

OH SNAP!

The forum runs on souls . . . whenever we sacrfice a member we spell their username backwards and insert into random sentences.  That being turbob, you shouldn't turbob about turbob like turbobs. turbob the turbobs, bob the turbo.  IT might end in TURBOB.



EDIT; poor bobrut.
