...Do Remember That Post!
I was mortified. Back in those days the internet was still new to a lot of us and pranksters would prank! 3 things I always liked to post about was the Rams, Music, and beautiful Ladies. Still have that passion, by the way.
Anyway, when I would post a pic of a hottie, I would put a little description in the subject line. That day I decided to post a pic of a young Heather Locklear who I always loved from afar. So I came up with the phase "The Original Hottie", typed it into the subject field, linked the image and pushed send. I think a lot of the guys back then enjoyed my posts of the beauties of the fairer sex. Some probably didn't but I never got any negative feedback stating that. As we all do, I went off to do errands and other things for a couple hours or so. When I got back home and checked back in, the whole post blew up in quite a different way that usual. So when I opened it up to see what the commotion was, the picture had morphed into, well let's say - something very unnatural for a certain part of the human anatomy! I was so freakin' embarrassed and terrified of what I had unknowingly unleashed on my Herd Brothers & Sisters! The pranksters of the internet somehow made that picture morph into the unspeakable thing that it ended up being, when you would link or embed the picture of Heather, to a website or message board!
And that was the birth of the legend of the infamous "The Original Hottie" post. Also known, in it's shorten version, the "OH" post. Those that had it imprinted in their brains will never forget it and it remains to this day a post of both Humor and Horror! LOL! ...
The only thing that still baffles me to this day, is how it managed to stay up for as long as it did until I say what happened! Hahahaha... I remember my earnest and heartfelt apologies I had to make to the Admins back on that day! I think we all learned a thing or two that day and somehow we all knew that we wouldn't be able to look at the world the same again...
That's how I remember it anyway!
Later my Friends...
