Like a Pokemon of prankery, the Rickroll has evolved into its fearsome third and final form. The first was a popular little joke, endearing and entertaining. The second was annoying as everyone got sick of the stupid thing. And now the third is innovation, invention, and applying a universal joke to brand new situations because everyone knows it.
It's demoralizing to know your work is pointless, leaving you with the choice of pumping out meaningless drivel, or taking the chance to do something awesome. And with a name like Mayniac182 you can tell which one this guy chose. His Computer Science class was convinced that an upcoming essay assignment was meaningless make-work which the professor wouldn't even read. So he did this.
Which really is good information science, because it's built around a null cipher. Yes, the same coding strategy used in World War II has now deployed the 80's right to the heart of a boring college assignment!
And now the link:

Luke is Jenni Maier's husband. Jenni is Jade Hargrave's cousin. Since they're both out of work freelance writers, the Hargraves have taken pity on them and are buying their "comedy" "writings". Since we chased Jenni off Jenni has decided to remove her by-line from ZuG, both of them are posting under Luke's name.
In other words, I think you'll be waiting an eternity for clickworthy material from Luke, and I think he'll be making submissions here for at least that long.

I got a warning for calling one of the aforementioned 'freelance writers' a pissflap sucking hermaphrodite.
I won't be making that mistake again!

Why thank you, Jesus Sunbeam. Of course I have ED. I'm 87. But your mom seems to like it.

Why buy one when you can get two at twice the price?

"Kurt Cobain is chained in my basement, with a Nickleback CD shoved up his ass".
And he's still grateful, because he's away from Courtney Love
