Notable Memes

These are new or exceptionally notable memes that arose or were perpetuated during the marathon.

• Chess - Chess is used as a reference to Sex. This makes for many amusing double entendres.
• Desert Bus for Hope Drinking Game
• "Well Dong" instead of "Well Done", named after a confusing font on the Titus the Fox game he was challenged to play simultaneously with Desert Bus.
• "Myth Busted" In regards to an auction of Myth Busters SWAG, Graham challenged the chat to bust the myth that the auction couldn't go over $1,000. Henceforth the chat decreed that all auctions hitting $1000 must be greeted with hearty cheers of "Myth Busted!"
