Well, to suggest that Meowers actually have any "meaning" is an unwarranted complement. Their breed of troll first surfaced on alt.fan.beavis-and-butthead at least four years ago: basically, a handful of losers post hundreds of irrelevant posts containing the word "Meow". One of their most prolific spokes-things goes by the handle of Raoul W. Xemblinosky. That's about all I know, really, but that in itself is enough to make one ashamed just to be using the same world-wide-web.
As for the HFW--they're the laughing stock of alt.flame, itself the internet equivalent of a Superfund site parasitized by unoriginal pottymouths. Word has it they were established by one Gilbert T. Sullivan (aka "Biiiiiilbert") for the purpose of out-trolling the Meowers..... 'nother words, a troll equivalent of Gobots.
As for Pig Doctor Seuss, well, you've heard of how people think the Ultimate Warrior died a few years back and since then it's just been a different guy in the makeup? Same thing. It's just a moniker passed around by several different people, all with different (f)laming styles and grammar dysfunctions.
Anyhoo, both the Meowers and the HFW periodically work themselves up into staging "invasions" of other, infinitely superior newsgroups, and flooding them with--well, you know. Personally, I think they just want an excuse to escape from alt.flame, because that pimple of a group is, itself, regularly besieged by the foreign counter-flamers of alt.nuke.the.USA...... who probably aren't much better, but you know that old saying about the enemy of my enemy..
All this was gleaned from an embarassingly long time of lurking on alt.flame, a time which was mostly spent waiting--quite fruitlessly--for someone to deliver an insult clever enough to make me laugh.
I know, I know. It's unredeemably pathetic that I should actually waste brain cells on stuff like this. I should be forced to film a public service announcement warning suggestible young people never, ever, *ever* to lurk on alt.flame, even for a day or two. There oughtta be a law.
ObTF: For some reason, I can't find any information whatsoever about BW season 3 on the YTV website, yet everyone else is already talking about its broadcast schedule. Am I looking in the wrong place?
