Flooting in hargof

From GFWiki

A phrase invented by Crash Landon in late 2006 and later popularized in chat whenever someone is either on sleep medication or drunk.

Origins

On November 13, 2006, on an unusually active night in #gfchat, Crash Landon, who was prescribed the sleeping aid Ambien at the time, decided to conduct an experiment and see how long he can hold up in chat while under its influence.

He took the medicine around 11:35 PM EST. Almost thirty minutes in, the medicine took noticeable effects:


  • [12:02] <@Crash> I like how the words almsot seem to warp nand bebnd arounf the sccreenm, like in a maze of three-dimenrsionall cubes. They mov uprrthe screwem amd it ilooks lieekthet aere floaring cubses of wordss all voer t comptuer scree.. and my handff ARDCOVRFG IN ully hgrrn mush nbcsauser thy can't gifiind their ewway yoy yhythe tooop ogofftheeee buikflifing go thry csn jumpp ewe weewessnttrj totfskll sndj goSLPLSSST iklike a edsdd kitten shiifkk;fd/And


On 12:10 AM, he uttered the winning phrase in this line:


  • [12:10] <@Crash> My sntentenct looks like a yacht flooting in hargof. She's a fgrand liner yoy TRQRT HER WITHN CREQ~


This roughly translates to "My sentence looks like a yacht floating in harbor. She's a grand liner. YOU TREAT HER WITH CARE~"


Other choice quotes from that night include:

Needless to say, he provided some interesting topics to discuss and words to decipher for the duration he was on chat. After an hour since taking it, Crash bade chat goodnuft and went to sleep, only to forget the events that have transpired the night before. Luckily a few saved logs made sure he won't forget.

Several more Ambien induced chat sessions came out over the next several weeks until his prescription ran out.
