We have all joked one time or another that there is no place on the forum that defines such terms as "canoe", "berkley", "Bob Costas" and more.
Have you seen the Wikipedia page for GRM?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassroots_Motorsports
Who builds this stuff?
At least we now know where to send the Noobs...lol
Haha I love it! But...needs more pictures!
It said we were dorks...
Where do they get the idea that we post to the ignore thread? Everybody knows that the hotlinks thread is where the action is.
Seriously, somebody needs to re-order the sections of that article....the 'memes' should not come before the 'Internet forum'....and both of those ought to be below more official GRM stuff like the $20xx challenge and the UTC challenge.

Apparently "GRMSarah" did some of this.

She sounds like a girl who'd understand why I have the carcass of a station wagon in the back yard. Can I have her phone number? 
Ha...that was fun to read...
I wonder what "outsiders" think of us all the time.

I don't think that they do...
Sarah did the more official bits, but Andy Reid, David Wallens, and I have all poked at the GRM Wiki entry at one time or another. Clearly, some community members have as well.
From reading the article, you'd think the magazine were spent the first part of every magazine describing Bob Costas and E36 M3.
Agreed, it seems that the "memes" are a product of the printed text, not just the forums. The topics are out of order.
this is awesome!!!
yeah can I get her number too?
where's JDMDriftYo? and Fanbois? lol I love how there's so much emphasis on our terms haha
and outsiders probably think we're dorks
The word is out on the GRM boards. Sarah is going to have more suitors than she can handle.
She's my cousin and Margie's niece.

I thought that link was going to lead to a picture of GRMSarah...
I couldn't love GRM the magazine or the website more, and believe me, I don't like to be the P.C police or anything or the guy who has a problem with everything thing, but I do have a problem with this... I find it a bit offensive that you use terms like "wikipedia", "MEMES" etc etc... for your little descriptions or whatever in the land of cyberspace. I myself do not have special needs, nor am I an internet stud like Dave Hardy, but I feel sensitivity for people with special needs as I am especially needy, and my Girlfriend is pursuing her masters in the field.
These terms although I'm preety sure are not even real words, are obviously meant to resemble the words used to describe people with webbed fingers and artificial testicles, and it appears that they are used on these boards in a joking sense which, as I view it, makes light of people who are internetually challenged. It just dosen't seem right to me, thats all. I know that it's not my message board, and that noone forces me to post here, but all the same, some things are wrong when they really don't need to be.

Maybe Sarah should add the meme about Margie's patio to the article?
haha you guys ^^^

yeah...same
It need a LOT more Miata in the description.
It's missing an acronym: PIITB
Also the description of "Flounder" is probably not accurate. Although Flouder is a character in Animal house, and it is a fish, the characterization is more from the definition:
1 : to struggle to move or obtain footing : thrash about wildly
2 : to proceed or act clumsily or ineffectually
Thus a thread that is "floundered" is floundering in the off topic comment and is no longer moving forward effectively. Generally those comments are of a highly polarizing political nature and cause the discussion to break down into a "I'm right", "no, I'm right" yelling match.
Did anyone else read this as:
1 : to struggle to move or obtain footlong : thrash about wally

Have I told you lately that I love you man?
No?
Good, wouldn't want to get all Bob Costas up in this E36 M3.
Now, I have to get the dust out of my eye....
You'll need to log in to post.
