I'm a nerd from the internet

a few weeks before Christmas I ordered myself a SomethingAwful.com hoodie. It was a limited edition screening and there was a craze whipped up on the forums about them and I got caught up in it and ordered one. At SA there had been an insane thread when the hoodies were firsty mentioned. It was "Should the hoodies be a pullover or a zip up?" It was almost a race war. Of 60K+ members over 30K voted in the poll and the thread was over 100 pages (2000+ posts) of hilarious anti pullover or zip-up sentiment. There were banner ads bought. People registered just to vote. People were banned. Actually I don't know if that part is true but the way people are banned over there it's likely. In the end Zip-Upsa (my faction) won by like 200 votes. A very small margin. For months there was no news and then one day I checked the forums and I had missed the sale. Not only that they had decided to sell both pullovers AND zip-ups. WTF?! Was our retarded internet arguement for nothing?!?! Anyway, they had announced a pre-sale for the hoodies and there was such demand that it crashed the SA eCommerce gateway. Only 30 or so people had gotten through. They announced that they needed some extra days to get their eCommerce junk in order and posted a different day and time to start selling again. I decided that I was getting in on that action. When the day and time came there were slammed again. repeatedly I was denied at the online store with errors and perhaps the 10th time I was rewarded with "Thank you for your purchase. We think you are a unique and beautiful butterfly." Then started the long and terrible wait. Sooooo long.... It was supposed to come by xmas but since SA is such a small operation in that regard things got fucked up and they didn't ship out my junk until last week. I was getting sick of peeking around the corner of my lobby to look for the package everyday. Well this morning it came. I had neglected to tell Jodi I had ordered it since she thinks my obsession with that website it retarded to say the least. It was cheap so I didn't sweat it. Anyway, Jodi came in from tossing out the garbage this morning and was like "Did you order something from Something Awful?" I told her what it was and before I even opened it she just said "I don't get it." I don't really get it either... Oh well. I have a momento of the Something Awful Hoodie war that really didn't matter in the end. This thing is what the internet makes from $26. One thing is for sure. This thing screams "I am from the internets!!!1" Sigh.
