Traditional
One of Scoops most prolific posters(and sometimes polarizing) ChicosBailBonds started a thread praising Josh Gasser, a sharpshooting player for the hated Badgers.  As the conversation evolved he described Gasser as "traditional" and other posters decided that was code for Caucasian.  As a result, the word traditional was hijacked to refer to any Caucasian, well, ever.  And so was born the running racial meme on Scoop

Haikus
A prolific poster(currently know as Keefe) was known to respond to posts in Haikus attempting to be both cryptic and clever.  Resulted in annoying half the board and mesmerizing the other half of the board.  The haikus became a running meme, and were found to be called upon in especially tough times.  A later variant had "secret" messages buried in them.
"A Plan? Oh man, I hate plans. That means were gonna have to do stuff. Can't we just have a strategy......or a mission statement."

"Traditional" is much easier to replicate, and thus has been the more dominant meme.  "Haiku" is harder to replicate and so is more susceptible to degradation when replicated.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
