     The internet I had long since forgotten is here. [...] The one with the atmosphere 2channel and IRC had twenty years ago. [...] The one where to "nurupo" we answered "gah!", we complained as did Gonorego about Yoshinoya's customers, we watched Commodore Perry angrily try to teach a struggling Mikiko to play piano. Yes, that internet has re-emerged.
