Sad Papaw No Longer Sad: Thousands Wait in Line for Burgers at His Cookout

"they just wanted to meet a meme"

Did you guys ever come to think they never spent much time with their own grandparents before they died and now they regret it?

And now they don't want papaw to feel the same way as their own grandparents.

Is 'papaw' a take on the way her ilk pronounce papa or something?

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;50028275]They're kinda milking it for all it's worth now. I guess I can't blame them, but... jeez.

Another thing is how the story's kind of misrepresented and the Internet doesn't even care to find out otherwise.

I mean, hey, any excuse to have a nice big burger event while you're Internet Famous, Sad Papaw, but jeez. Internet, you need to sit down and think about how you deal with things. Don't threaten people with assault because they missed a burger dinner holy fuck.[/QUOTE]

Imgur's userbase manage in an act I can only call a miracle to be even worse than Reddit, because they're largely people who somehow failed to figure out Imgur is an image hosting sight specifically for posting to Reddit. It's the worst of the worst

The shirts probably helped pay for the 2000 burgers tbqh

Oh no, people are having fun with an internet culture phenomenon! Everything is ruined!

I don't know. That'd be very disappointing if you had plans with your grandkids and only one showed up. Atleast he got a lot more happiness out of it. Family will fuck you more then friends.

This is Papaw and all six grandkids. Why did most of them not show up? Four didn't show because their dad (Papaw's son) was at work and [I]forgot to tell them[/I]. After the photo was taken, the one who did show texted her brother and he showed up.

The Internet did its usual.

You really shouldn't take imgur comments as an example of bad rational thinking from the internet.

It's like pointing to the toilet and saying "see how filthy this house is?". They're one of the worst 'communities' on the internet.

Eh... are you sure about that? There's about a million other forums that are probably 1000x worse. (for example, any game forum, especially that facepunch place)
