I think we need a list of Jalopnik/Oppositelock inspired memes/jokes stickied to the front of every single page just so new people and old people with memory loss can check against them to make sure that a commenter is pulling a fast one.

Come on. Seriously. You all disappoint me. I thought we lived for shenanigans.

"and understeer into a tree or spin out because LRA and too much power"
Oh, FFS. Some of these people. Then again, I made a "For that price, you could have had two V-twin Morgans" V-6 Mustang joke here in Oppo and nobody laughed. Well, maybe he did. Er, "no people reading the post laughed".
I even used cool strikethrough text 'n' shit.

Us old timers should all know that the FP is the wilderness. The evil evil wilderness. Full of trolls, dragons, and idiots who were sadly born without reading comprehension or the ability to detect sarcasm.
Go back in time, post "Pretty sure that's a STi Lambo, dude", and it'd be worse.

Hey you, your logic has no place here. You're right of course, but still.

I don't even want to think of the consequences if I had said "Pretty sure thats a Lambo" with a pelican picture...

I think someone said "I only deal in V6 Mustangs. What is that, 1.4 V6 Mustangs?"
COTD right there.

After the collapse, people willing to operate barter exchanges between V-8s and V-6s will be as kings.

Timing is everything. And you posted on the weekend, when the regulars don't frequent this watering hole that much. I got it btw.

Wow... all I can say is WOOOSH! My post didn't even clue anyone onto it... seriously?

Yeah, but it's FP. Harder to do the Secret Oppo Handshake without someone thinking it's all about the Masons.
It seems to me that FP is having a huge amount of Jez influence...with the ability to take jokes and such.
(Alas, I have but one recommendation per post to give)

The joke went so far over their heads that I am positive it is now in orbit...

Sometimes even in Oppoland I get disappointed.
FP is worse than office parties, because beside people not getting jokes, they take everything way too personal.
Edit: The best part is that most of the replies are grayed out. That says a lot.

We should create a black-list of Front pagers. The only way to get off the list is to drive a Prius and write a 10 page report on why you should kill it with fire.

How do these people get approved for FP posting? I'm not even approved and I know most of the memes. Perhaps in order to become approved, we should implement some mandatory meme reading?
Meme reading... that sounds like some sort of internet bible excerpt: And on the sixth day pedobear suggested I buy a V6 mustang...

The BRZ/FR-S was an almost every day discussion for a long time prior to the release of the car. A number of people talked about the Mustang as an affordable alternative. The big thing about the BRZ was the price and performance. Many people argue such a car that offers performance at a good price already exists... it became a long running joke.
Would you like a white prius or a green one? All the blue ones are out already today.

Extremely long-term Jalopnik tradition: express all cars' prices as units of V-6 Mustangs, because as a standard unit of fun and cheapness, it's hard to beat for new cars. That, however, is less relevant than the fun of continuing to describe things in V-6 Mustang Barter Units regardless of applicability. Whoever started it tried to use it to put another car in perspective (i.e. "is it really twice as fun as a V-6 Mustang") but it snowballed.

You're right. The Jalopnik Wikipedia page used to have a section for memes but that was deleted a few months ago.

Just read that thread.
A year or two ago it would have been all cotd noms.
