While this is probably fake, I did have a momentary recollection of my preteen days on the living room family computer surfing warez sites and, while my mom was visiting (me living with my dad), big ol’ horsecock popped up on a pop-up ad. She uh, she had a reaction. But, like a fucking normal person, I just explained that happens sometimes when you’re pirating shit.

Yes, I’m old, this story is pre-ublock and no script, and before torrents were a thing. Pre-limewire too? Actually hol’up, how did 10 year old me know about warez…? Lol

Fellow old man: We learned the words we needed to complete the spell. In those days internet usage was more art than science. You either learned or you did without. I learned the term so young because I needed a crack to stop having to swap discs in the D drive constantly.

  I didn’t even know what it was supposed to mean. Pronounced it like it was a German word.

The days of downloading a movie, and having to watch some of it in private first to make sure it wasn’t porn labeled wrongly.

It could be real. I’m an aspiring furry artist and have had to look up a lot of animal genitalia for research purposes.

…I don’t still live with my parents however.

  Could be, though it’s not so much the type of inspiration so much as the lack of safeguards most people would have in place. I studied art for a bit before switching majors and know full well how important reference material is. Life drawing has nude human models, after all, so why not deer vagina?
  
  Although getting a live deer to pose for your class would be rather difficult, hehe.

Old internet was wild. I remember I got scammed into convincing my mom to pay for WinMX, which was free. Upside, she thought my pirate-ass program was legit so when the whole Napster thing blew up, I was in the clear.
