6 days waiting in the “Pending Review” section finally paid off for the legend…

All I know is that the heavy is clearly Uncle Phil.

I didn’t know what the hell this was until I saw the last line.
After that, it still took about 5 seconds to click.

Brought a tear to my eye…
The second paragraph touched me the most. *sniff*
Please exuse me, I have to grab a tissue.

I cannot believe I understood that. I don’t even play pyro that much.

It’s a good thing I know fluent Pyro.
I leave the ignorant to wonder why there are so many Will Smith jokes playing out around here.

I can’t decide whether I should be sad or happy that I got the idea halfway through the first line.

The word Phillidelphia stood out. That’s when I got it.
Spider Donut Face responded on 07 Apr 2009 at 10:58 pm #
I got it from the last paragraph in general. the numbers 7 and 8 and the Pyro translation of Prince of Bel Air gave it away.
Now all we need is a pyro translation website (when philosophers can finally sort out the pyro alphabet) so we can all speak fluent Pyro and can insult people without them understanding our mumbles!

4th paragraph: “I whiztlhd frr h chb nn whhn uht chmh nhhr”
I wonder what the hell the cab driver understood ^^

Pyro Bel-Air’d.
Outstanding.

Yea so erm… the fact that I had the Fresh Prince theme playing while I read that may or may not have contribute to my quick comprehension of what he was saying.

Now, this is a story all about how
many people read the article like it was upside-down
Now I’d like to take a minute
Just sit right there
DoomGuy’ll tell you how he learned the joke in the story
In West Scotland born and raised.
On the internet I spent most of my days
Chilling out, posting, maxing mah skillz
And all shooting off heads in Team Fortress 2
When a couple of links said
they were very good
Started making me laugh it was great dude!
I read this one little article and people got scared
They said ‘You’re making my head hurt this isn’t fair!”
I read and explained with them the other day
But they cried to Shadow and turned their attention away
That got me very mad and I decided to help
I put my thinking cap on, ‘I might have to explain it’.
They had no clue, this was very bad
So I might as well start it, I haven’t got all day
Heard of Prince Of Bel-Air, a show by Will Smith?
Hmm, I think they’re getting it now!
Well, it whistled past your ears but have no fear
It was just a translation of the Intro
Into the Pyro’s muffled mumbles
If anything it was very subtle
But don’t flame me, I have some rebuttals.
I finished up this post at hour 7 or 8
Now I hope you’re happy now I’ll talk to you later
I’ve finally finished up this post
I’m sorry I botched this
I send my apologies over to Bel-Air.
*Flees*

Ha Ha Ha! If it had not been for all the other people who claim they got it I might not have bothered and if I did not know that song by heart I’d have been lost.
Very nice
