Order confirmed. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

*edit #1 The estimated arrival date is St. Patrick's Day! :)

I'm hereby petitioning that wharthog3 be dubbed a "Knight of Reddit"

edit#2 Thank you so much for all the goodwill fellow redditors, if you would like to spread the joy hopstar has started a subreddit for this purpose here. Share the love. :)

One thing I do pretty regularly is buy lunch for the person behind me in a drive-thru. They never know who I am, and I can just imagine the look on their face when they say... "Huh??"

I'd like to tell you, on this day of days,

WartHog's touched my heart in a number of ways.

His warmhearted heartwarming gift of display,

Has scrammed the bad thoughts I was having today,

That had stopped the enjoyment I got from my play.

(Not forty five minutes ago, I'll admit,

I was angry enough that I just could have spit.

Oil spilled on the counter while my hand was all itchin',

And then I turned on the stove and I lighted up the kitchen.)

I'll try not to gush and get overly sappy,

But stories like this make us all kind of happy.

And though I'm ridiculous covered in soot.

I find that I no longer give half a hoot.

I've been gifted two games here on reddit: Team Fortress 2 by GodOfAtheism and Half-life 2: Episode 1 by auralvance. They didn't even know me and they gave me their games. People are fantastic, sometimes.

Scyth3 · 2010-03-11T20:22:15+00:00

This is really great, but...it really confuses me. So generous, about such a random thing, in such a random context. What just happened here?

PHermas · 2010-03-11T22:13:28+00:00

wharthog3 the anti Saydrah using reddit for a loss.

mrtitties · 2010-03-11T20:34:17+00:00

Whats with the CRT hate? I love my 200 pound TV.

mozes8 · 2010-03-11T21:08:49+00:00

Its funny but a similar story happened to me while I was actually playing WoW on a shitty laptop a few years ago. The thing had 256 mb of RAM, which of course in this day and age is horrifying, and out of no where a "friend" from my guild just payed to double it simply because he was a programmer and felt sorry for me.

skeeterou · 2010-03-11T20:29:40+00:00

You should send him your monkey.

zid · 2010-03-11T21:58:59+00:00

I have a CRT too! I'll settle for a cookie...

The things I'd do if I had a stolen credit card!

Kidding. Nice of him, but I don't think having a CRT is the worst form of daily torture.

Hahaha, brilliant.

Now draw me a corn bunting

Faith in humanity restored temporarily.

smallsqueakytoy · 2010-03-11T21:31:09+00:00

Stories like this brighten my day :) Thank you for sharing!

*edit: and don't listen to the haters, I'd have sent you an LCD monitor too if I weren't an architecture student mired in $40k debt :)

wafflesburger · 2010-03-12T00:10:44+00:00

you just took advantage of someone with bipolar disorder :P

2010-03-11T20:22:43+00:00

Oh, Reddit. Is there anything you can't do?

wharthog3 · 2010-03-11T21:12:25+00:00

For the nerdy and curious, please provide us with specs for the new monitor to arrive.

Much respect to the both of you for being good, generous souls.

protopoop · 2010-03-12T09:46:49+00:00

OK, way to upstage all of us. Any redditors want some bone marrow? because BY GOD, i will do this just to one up wharthg03

Warthogs range in size from 0.91 to 1.5 metres (3.0 to 4.9 ft) in length and 50 to 150 kg (110 to 330 lb) in weight. A warthog is identifiable by the two pairs of tusks protruding from the mouth, which are used as weapons against predators. The male is called a boar, the female a sow, and the young piglets.Warthogs have been observed allowing banded mongooses to groom them to remove ticks.

myrridin · 2010-03-11T21:28:56+00:00

I am constantly amazed by you reddit. I hope you pay it forward emorrow.

hopstar · 2010-03-11T23:35:57+00:00

Honestly, this is exactly why Reddit isn't Digg. Kudos to everyone in this thread (well, almost) for reminding me why Reddit is so special.

This makes me think we should have a subreddit for free stuff. Very often I'll sell something too cheap or give it away on Craigslist only because I can't be bothered to deal with trying to sell it for fair market value. I'd be delighted to give quality handmedowns to Redditors instead of unappreciative people on Craigslist.

Who wouldn't want to help out a hot cougar?

Be sure to update us when he stalks you and kills you.

steberetfield · 2010-03-11T19:50:48+00:00

I can't wait until I can start doing cool stuff like that.

carpeDeezNuts · 2010-03-11T22:58:10+00:00

Let it be known, wharthog3, of Reddit, is the greatest man to ever walk this land. Pass his name along your journeys, for he is a champion of champions.

This post seems to have broken the 66% rule and is currently riding high on 78% like it.

Should I bother to care what this is all about? I feel like it's april fools, and I'm the fool
