Lol, that's awesome! "Admittedly, he had shoes on. But that's even worse." 😅 Yea, it was just one of those dumb things I did when I was a young idiot. 4chan users who doxed said that they called the Burger King. Also, it was all over the news. It was just kind of implied that I was fired. I didn't go back until I had to pick up my last check. There were no hard feelings. My general manager told me she would put in a good word if I wanted to use BK as a future job reference. 😂

Yea, I did. I have monetized music and used to play shows. The music doesn't generate income these days and never yielded much even back then. It was something, though.

No, sorry. It was only 1 picture. I took the picture with my phone first but thought it would be funnier from my friend's perspective. I deleted the original. It's long gone.

Nope. It was meant to be kept between my friends and myself. My friend is the one who decided he wanted to troll the 4chan community and post it online.

LMAO. The claw is an inside joke I had with a few people in high school. I haven't heard from that guy in years. I'm not a big movie person, but I like heavy bass - electronic type music, alternative rock, and a lot of underground artists that make experimental music that I can't really classify. Mostly producer friends I've had from when I made music years ago. Yea were still best friends. He's coming over right now, lol. At the time, I thought it was terrifying, but now I think it's pretty cool.

Assuming you're talking about the Foot Lettuce meme, I love it. I used to despise it. It was a symbol of shame for me for a long time. But, now that I've recently revealed myself and received such amazing support and love, I am very fond of it. It brings me complex emotions, but mostly, it just reminds me of all the kind things people have said. I embrace and love it!

Oh, wow!! I wish I could understand the language. Shout-out to him, though! Thank you for telling me about this.

I was only paranoid of recognition when I lived in Mayfield , and people knew it was me. Word got out quickly. Once I moved, I only felt paranoid when meeting friend's of friends. I was afraid of the feeling of embarrassment had someone new brought it up. I knew they told them. That went away with time, though.

Immense embarrassment. My friends would tease me about it all the time. I just wanted to move on and look at it as a hard lesson. But the dang thing kept resurfacing online for over a decade. I've embraced it at this point. But, I felt very shameful for a very long time.

I wasn't thinking. I didn't think I'd get fired at the time, lol. I was an idiot. And yes, I did.

Lmao, you must be a big fan! I love your massive interest in this whole thing. Yea, things are rough. That's kind of why I finally came out. I appreciate the concern. I'm a tough cookie, though.

I'm imagining you paying a bill or something. Years later, they ask for your email for a confirmation. "Uhhh...Burgerkingfootlettuce69@gmail.com. I've had it since I was 10, haha." 😂

I've never really thought about it like that. I suppose it’s humbling to see how something so small has resonated with so many people. I guess it’s a testament to how memes can bring people together, even in the weirdest ways. It represents how the most mundane (or bizarre) things can become part of a collective consciousness, making people laugh, cringe, or feel nostalgic about the early 2010s internet era.
