We Need A Name For This Phenomenon
Posted by Harvey at 10:12 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (17)

So... aside from The Rumsfeld Strangler, has anyone else been posting "In My World" fan fiction?

It makes Frank happy, as long as there's linkage giving IMAO credit for the inspiration.

Anyway, if you have an IMW fan fiction post, drop a link in the comments.

If you haven't been writing IMW fan fiction, get started. I mean, it's not like Frank is gonna get around to giving Buck the Marine a new mission anytime soon.

By the way... if Star Trek fans are called "Trekkies", then what are In My World fans called?

Franksters?

Frank J. wannabes? (That's me.)

IMW-ers?

POFWs? (People Of Frank's World)

Fairies, elves or leprechauns? (Since we all know those inhabit your world.)

:-/

Perhaps "J-Offs" since they're riffing 'off' of Frank 'J'?

Screw it, it's late here and I can't make wit teh funny when I'm sleepy.

Aaaargh!

In My World fans are generally just called "cool".

#3 - Posted by: jimmyb on May 18, 2006 11:23 PM

IMW's. (Pronounced: im-wees)

*Coughs*
Ich verstehe kein Deutch. Meine deutsche Klasse ist...schwer.

heh. i think he was going for "fannies."

#5 - Posted by: z on May 19, 2006 01:16 AM

IMAOists. Which will eventually be misspelled in e-maoists, and confused with people like Kos and Atrios.

"Frank's Minions"
Minion
noun - a follower or underling of a powerful person, esp. a servile or unimportant one.

#7 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on May 19, 2006 06:31 AM

Yeah, I like minions. We definitely need a name though. That's another t-shirt idea, and more money in Frank's pocket.

#8 - Posted by: fmragtops on May 19, 2006 08:47 AM

Frankies?

#9 - Posted by: slapout on May 19, 2006 09:31 AM

Worldies, of course.

#10 - Posted by: Russ on May 19, 2006 09:43 AM

IMAOist

#11 - Posted by: Ron Rockstar on May 19, 2006 11:13 AM

How about UMPC (Umm-Pac)? Ultimate Monkey-Punching Champs. We could have cage matches. I'll put my 12 year old up against that treacherous EX-Marine (I mean ex not former) John Murtha any day.

#12 - Posted by: Moneyman on May 19, 2006 11:16 AM

For the name of all Frank's fanboys/fangirls I suggest the following:

Beans (Frank and beans, get it?)
Frankles
The Chocolate Thunder Brigade
Frankolytes
Franklings

IMW fanfic at my blog:

Hugo Chaves found dead in Brooklyn

#14 - Posted by: Chainik Hocker on May 19, 2006 11:59 AM

Beans? Nah, that's too important. The other IMAO bloggers are the beans. We're the fly that lands right in the ketchup and mustard. Inferiority complexes are fun.

I actually like the IMAOist idea. Perhaps iMAOist just to be cool and have the initial letter be lowercase.

Doom.

#15 - Posted by: blue square on May 19, 2006 12:03 PM

Dorks.

#16 - Posted by: Cary from Houston on May 19, 2006 01:25 PM

I like imaoist also, but it would help to know what it means. Personally, I consider myself a moon nuker.
