Slashdot Mirror
Penny Arcade Holiday Strip Series #1
While normally we don't do this sort of thing, recent charity work with Child's Play has substantially increased
the bandwidth demands over at Penny Arcade. To assist Gabe & Tycho, and keep their site running slightly faster than a snails-pace, we're co-hosting their seasonal holiday strip series "The Last Christmas". The cover and the first page are attached to this story (future pages in coming days), so read on and enjoy until we hit our bandwidth limits! (Warning: Comic may contain Cthulhu)
I'd buy it for my kids.
The article is going a little slow, so heres the text:

Could this be the first?
Umm... Judging by the time this has taken to load...
Did we manage to Slashdot Slashdot?
Freaky!
What do we call it when /. actually tries to help alleviate bandwidth shortage?
The first sign of the Apocalypse.
The power of Cthulhu compels you! The power of Cthulhu compels you! The power of Cthulhu compels you! (you get the idea, or at least, you will.... mwhahahahaha)

Slashdot is slowly eating itself tail first. This is the end of times, the internet cannot be far behind! I'm going to go grab my wind up radio and get a shotgun.

"While normally we don't do this sort of thing, this kid Billy is going to help host their seasonal holiday strip series on his 56.6K modem (Warning: Comic may contain Cthulhu)"
When does the next page come?
Depends on how many days it takes the first one to load.
The "R" is for "ReallyFastLoad" it a secret feature *shhhhhhhhhh*
Sehr geehrter Toilettenbenutzer!
It actually loaded faster for me off of the Penny Arcade site than it did off of slashdot.
I guess slashdot got pennyarcaded.
I think it's like the term FUCK it can be used in either a positive or negative way depending on what the words are proceeding it or following it.
Such as:
Fuck yeah! (positive)
Oh Fuck! (negative)
Therefore we can use the term Slashdotted as follows:
The site is Slashdotted (negative)
We Slashdotted the site (positive)
Or it could just be the end of the world. In either case i'm going to piss myself and curl up into a little ball on the floor.

Now we have the secret to getting the almighty (5, Funny): simply repost the article text!
Yeah, right.
Yeah. This is clearly a sellout to the giant Penny Arcade empire. Those evil corporate bastards. Right.
Ug, what did they do? Use Ursula K. LeGuin's contract lawyer?
But then someone told him the poor little bastards have suffered enough
