By BG It?s funny how things we casually write on this site can grow to have a life of their own. From ?The Glorious Sweater of Absolute Victory? to the ?Stockton Heybuddy,? tossed-off gags turn into running gags, which turn into official t-shirt names and UrbanDictionary pages. But there?s one that needs to come to an end right now. I think you guys know what I?m talking about. ?You Guys? first appeared in a CagePotato headline back in September 2009, as part of this classic Dan Quinn video post. At that time, it was already an existing meme that I basically stole from Videogum.com. Initially, I thought it would be a one-and-done sort of thing. Then I used it again. And again. Then, Old Dad* began to use it himself. "You Guys" was spiralling out of control.
