MY AUE INVESTIGATION HAS BEGUN: EVAN'S FIRST POST:

I finally figured out how to get all the AUE posts from 1991 through 1994 that I was missing the last time I'd Googled it! It really does look like 1991 is the beginning of the AUE. Here's the only real original left's first AUE post,
13 years ago:

"One sheriff, two sherifim. (Shelly Berman, right?)

More recently, we have the "false German/Yiddish" plurals "Vaxen" and "Macintoshen". The latter never really caught on, but was common at Stanford right after the computer was released, the former was (is?) standard usage. I assume that they were by analogy to "oxen" and "homentashen" respectively. (And if you don't know what homentashen are, boy, did you have a deprived childhood!)
And then there's "This is a moose. There were three of them.." :-)"

As usual, it's full of things I don't understand. Am I going to really have to Google "Shelly Berman", "Vaxen", "Macintoshian", AND "homentashen" from this post alone? I'm guessing these are real 90's-isms? But, my point is, if I have four things that must be Googled to be understood in this one* post, how am I ever going to be able to Google *everything* from *every post that needs Googling to be understood?
BTW, I notice Evan used a smiley face back then. Given that he's the only original left, and he used a smiley face in his first post, that means that the smiley face is of special significance for the AUE. It is your mascot. CJ was lambasted for his use of smileys, but it's you people who should be criticized for notusing them, evidentally, for you're the ones going against the original laws of the AUE. So, from here forth, everyone can and must use smileys! Like this!
