The MJAdvisor post reminded me of some iOwnTheWorld History.
Let’s see who knows this.
In year one, we had a feature where “someone” answered all questions, no matter what they were.
What was that character’s name?

Post the Ugly Mosaic, that would help uncover the answer. 😉
Bad_Karnac….
I don’t think I was around then.
Karnak?
I was not around in Year 1. I bet Doc would know.
Lady in Red? Just kidding. She raised more questions than answers.
I actually do miss her, cause I enjoyed the the sparring.
That sounds like only one person. Mom.
Ha, The Ugly Mosaic!!
This is level 10 trivia, by the way.
Was it Furriest Maximus?
Doc is pleading the 5th in case it was me…or at least alcohol & me.
Karnac The Rat Fink?
So, what’s the pay out if we get it right? And will it be in iOTWR Bucks? Even though I wasn’t around then…
1 million iotw bucks.
I’m off the hook because not even my original persona was around in year one (and not in iOTW’s year one, either).
Had to be Uncle Al or PUK.
Hines answered all the questions but he was always wrong – does that count?
You didn’t write “correctly” did you?
Fur – do it!
I’mma guess Hippie Critic…
Well, shoot. I’m out. I didn’t know about this site in year one, and shame on me!
I’m so happy to reply to this.
If you want a cut of the prize money. give me a call.
Is that “IOTW Report” year on or “I Own The World” year one?
Sorry, I meant lower case i and no spaces. God I miss the edit feature!!
curious as to what year that was?

I think I started at iotw in 2009, not sure about that though. But I thought it was at the beginning of Hope and Change.
I did that for a while……often in the middle of threads…..without anyone asking.
But I’ma go with Hippie Critic as well.
No clue.
Rush mentioned you from People’s Cube and I ain’t ever leaving!
S÷ ya in da mornin.
I don’t know what IOTW year one was, but it doesn’t really matter because I can’t remember what year I jumped aboard.
Was it Admin Girl, Stymie and Ralph, Angry Pancreas (ha ha), FDR in Hell, Ginger? Or could it be Chalupa, who has the funniest answers to polls, trivia and “You know what to do?”
iOTW started around January of 2009. I wasn’t here until that Summer, late summer, I believe.
But, I don’t know if that character was still around then. At least, I’m going to use that as my excuse for not knowing!
Had to be 2007. My website started back then.
…not Fur, he’s like a Sphinx.
…just waiting for the “Three Legs in the Evening” question, though, I always get that one wrong on PURPOSE…
Pffft. Fur. All he ever did was post pictures of giant snow penises in the back of pickup trucks.
@Aaron Burr — That reminds me of YOUR picture of the dead guy in the back of the pickup with the two guys with shovels lookin’ at him.
Well, it wasn’t that the whole dead guy was visible, but the way his boots stuck out there wasn’t any doubt that he was well past pinin’ for the fjords.
*break*
Heh! I thought so. I squirreled it away HERE. Shovel ready!
…I’m gonna guess Uncle Al, because he’s the closest to being as long-winded as me, but tends to stay on point MUCH better, and so far has been undebunkabke from what I’ve seen…
MOXIE
I mis “admin girl”.
I visited I own the World when GWB was President; but not sure I was “charter user”
Set there/here by “Rusty’s” blog Star Wars theme Name forgot. Rusty was a good guy, for a
Prof.
Claudia, Fur, please check your email, you’ll see why when you do…

“…1 million iotw bucks…”
And the US$ equivalency is….? Is this like the Italian Lira?
I’m thinking it was Lori Ziganto. I found IOTW through her blog.
ex-jarhead,
You’ve been around here for a long, long time.
Charter member for sure.
Okay, Time for a hint.
It was a wizard, but an infant. Sat on a floating pillow.
menderman….
LCD-
We began, officially, on Obama’s first inauguration day.
Lori was a writer here for a couple of years, before she went off to edit for Human Events.
Then, of course, became an editor at Twitchy.
Most knew her then as Snark and Boobs.
Oh yeah, I remember! It was BabyPillowSittingWizard, of COURSE!
*shrugs*
…oh well, before my time, I took a shot…

“Most knew her then as Snark and Boobs.”
…That isn’t very specific…EVERY woman is snark and boobs from what I’ve seen..
Nope, it wasn’t I. I’ll give it a shot, though. I figure if I don’t know the answer, I’ll make up something believable and you’ll never know the difference!1! Bwahahahaha!
@SuperShopperNightshade — check please to see if anything has changed with, uh, er, teh problem.
Uncle Al
DECEMBER 24, 2020 AT 8:00 PM
…yep, a mysterious stranger fixed it..
Was the infant on the floating pillow smoking a stogie?
@SuperShopperNightshade — Thanks yugely!
After the year i have had i am just glad i remember how to turn the puter on.
Baby with a stogie? Ralphie?
It… was…. (cough) (ack!)
Baby Duh
Was it Saurin? (Been around since your Cube days)
@Mr_Pinko –
C’mon man, don’t fudge on us. You have insider information. Spill the beans. Who was it?
Um, was there a bathtub involved? 🛀
Uncle Al

…D e nada. I did a similar thing a little while ago, as Fur could tell you, so I know how stuff can happen…
2009 seems like such a long time ago. We were just forming our first Tea Party event.
Gosh. So many skirmishes with leftists and so many trips
to DC.
ECP-
I knew you’d get it!!!
Baby Duh is correct.
And Eternal now takes the lead in all-time iOTW bucks.
Thanks Al for posting that. Takes me back…..
Honestly can’t remember where we buried that guy…..probably for the best.
But I do remember blowing all the money I made from that website on dope and booze….and motorcycle parts…..etc.
Woohoo! I’m RICH
Here’s the hint BFH was referring to.
I think I started posting in ’09, but I can’t remember who posted all the answers. I liked the contests back then. I even won a coveted IOTW coffee mug, but I can’t remember what the contest was.
James Hines also had a lot of (wrong) answers.
Couldn’t remember the name but I remembered the icon. Moxie- holy crap you remembered a bunch of old names, ginger! That’s way back. And snark and boobs, and admin girl, so many. Enjoy the iotw bucks ecp! I spent mine on some wonderful investment opportunities in nigeria helping some royalty I’m apparently related to….
Smeggy … definitely Smeggy.
P.S. Merry Christmas!
Now I know I’m officially old.
Epstein still didn’t kill himself.
I know it wasn’t me.
I woulda said Irony, but I wasn’t around that first year.
