Here is the post in which Jeremy "OS/2ibo" Reimer invented it:

Oh, how could you!
That was the only cascade, and yes, when I say the only cascade, I really
mean the ONLY CASCADE that I have ever seen, and when I say ever seen, I
mean really, EVER seen, that I have actually enjoyed and not just hit the
'n' key in disgust.
I mean, it had _style_. Lyrics to the worst songs of all time, all wrapped
up in one glorious thread! (sniff) Oh well...

I do it all the time. Not _every_ reply has to be sent out with
Distribution: world you know...

>like me.
I am also also intelligent and also also good looking. No, I am not.
Yes, yes, I am. No, no, no, absolute rubbish. In situations like this
I usually defer to the "Danny Drucker Defense" (seen in .plan 9 from
panix.com) and say "I cannot describe myself physically"...
If this post makes very little sense it was entirely on purpose.
HANDY TROLL GUIDE!!!! APPLIES TO THIS POST ONLY!
Jeremy's new Troll-O-Meter(tm) output:
[------0-----1-----2-----3-----4-----5-----6-----7-----8-----9-----]
[||||||| ]
`------------------------------------------------------------------'
The Troll-O-Meter for this post reads a steady 0.0, which indicates an
entirely troll-free post, with no trolls, meta-trolls, or meta^n-trolls
to be found whatsoever at all, none, and when I say none, I mean NONE.
I hereby propose that in future, all Usenet posts shall be followed by
the Troll-O-Meter. It will make things _so_ much easier for everyone.
