When I was a tween (or almost) someone developed a beef with a local sysop and started posting, “WE HAD A DEAL!!!” over and over on the BBS’s graffiti wall that you saw at login. It became a local meme and people started posting it everywhere in the local calling zone for no particular reason. It was the first sort of flash event I saw, and a significant development in the local culture I was in, but today that culture has been entirely destroyed, and it’s a weird thing I don’t share with anyone. But it always comes to mind as though it might be relevant, and never is.

WE HAD A DEAL!!
Exactly. Every time I see the phrase, I want to go all “disco ball”.
I’m trying to help make it a thing for you buddy 👍🏻
If you’re going to make something a thing for me, please make it en flique.
WE HAD A DEAL!!
Wow, you have absolutely captured the spirit of the thing. Nostalgic!!
Was it also spammed in L.O.R.D. as well?
Didn’t exist yet.
