GGI: The Mother****ing Flash
Warning: This article contains language.
Welcome to this, the first episode of GGI: Good Gamery Investigation. Today we are going to reveal who wrote “The Motherfucking Flash” (or “TMFF”), an essay/rant that has gone viral throughout the Internet, but whose true author credit was lost in mystery and shadow.
There have been many theories proposed by Internet users throughout the world.
- Internet user “dtomko12345” posted TMFF numerous times on bix.yahoo.com. Could he or she be the true author?
- Internet user “Anonymous Coward” posted TMFF on Slashdot, and many have attributed the essay to him or her. Is this attribution valid?
- Internet user “Ranger” posted TMFF and said it originally came from a “BSS Something Awful Thread.” Is this article, in fact, of SA origin?
As many know, GoodGamery.com (“GG”) was one of the offshoot sites of the community formerly at MiseTings.com (“MT”), the original Magic humor site. One prolific MT forum member was named Taeme. He was born in Milton, Ontario, and when he consumed wheat products, he would flip out mentally due to a peculiar allergy.
Taeme posted many rants and essays, and had a unique, in-your-face, and hilarious writing style. Observe:
- Taeme talks about milk in coffee
- Taeme talks about his work and a girl
- Taeme talks about Dune
- Taeme tells everyone who posts why he hates them
- Taeme tells the tale of ‘the package’
Oh, and one more I might mention.
It’s the original posting of “The Motherfucking Flash,” posted on MiseTings.com on January 2, 2005 — right here. He later posted a copy on SA.
Case closed; Internet fixed.
