Ridiculously self-explanatory t-shirt slogan/computer joke whose major claim to fame was a ten-second mention on ''[[The Simpsons]]''. Next up: [[I Went to Idaho and All I Got was this Lousy T-Shirt]]. '''Delete'''. [[User:Ian Pugh|Ian Pugh]] 03:46, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
**My favorite one is [[My friend went to Iraq to look for weapons of mass destruction and all he found was this lousy T-shirt]].  [[User:Fishal|Fishal]] 02:22, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete.''' Non-notable joke. [[User:Jni|jni]] 07:42, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*Delete: Another ''ancient'' computer joke.  When "The Simpsons" quoted it, it was as an example of the stupid and old jokes that computer people tell.  Let's not be the nerds, eh? [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 13:09, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
::Incidentally, that episode just replayed on my local station.  "Only one person in a million would find that funny," says Lisa Simpson. [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 00:11, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. --[[User:*drew|*drew]] 13:11, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Non-notable ''joke''. [[User:Nadavspi|Nadavspi]] 18:40, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Del joke.txt''' --[[User:Pgunn|Improv]] 20:54, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep''', there is no valid reason for deletion. -- [[User:Crevaner|Crevaner]] 14:06, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
**One valid reason is "No potential to become encyclopedic," see [[Wikipedia:Deletion_policy]] [[User:Dpbsmith|[[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]]]] 13:05, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''DEL'''. Non-notable. Maybe mention this in some other article; it doesn't deserve its own article. [[User:Andrevan|<b style="color:mediumblue;">Andre</b>]] ([[User_talk:Andrevan|<span style="color:royalblue;">talk</span>]])[[A| ]] 14:11, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)
*Merge if a suitable article exists, then '''Delete.''' Not an important meme in its own right. Not a likely search term, does not need a redirect. Individual jokes, T-shirt slogans, etc. should not have entire entries and articles. We don't (and shouldn't!) even have articles on real memes like [[Tippecanoe and Tyler too]] or [[54-40 or fight]] or [[Remember the Maine]] or [[Remember Pearl Harbor]] or [[Remember the Alamo]].

*'''Merge''' if there is something suitable. An interesting note is that I ''never'' got this joke since I am from Sweden where we, as far as I know, have no similar childrens book. I always wondered what was so funny about it, even when I saw it on the Simpsons. Thanks to this article I now know the joke.. I assume "Spot" was a dog or something in the book.. At any rate, as useful as It was for me (and I assume other non-Americans) It should not have its own article. It wouldn't hurt to mention it in another article, though, but I'll leave it up to someone else to decide which... [[User:Zelda|Zelda]] 23:14, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
** ''See Spot (dog); See Spot run (dog running); Run spot run (another dog picture)'' is classic basic English education. The most classic example is the (likely) originator, some picture book for preschool aged kids from the 1950's. It is frequently used in cultural context for various things. Such as ''See spot run'' type reports issued to women from male underlings, in criticism of male chauvanism, etc. It goes with brown cows, and jumping over lazy dogs...

*'''Keep'''. [[User:Neutrality|[[User:Neutrality|<b>Neutrality</b>]] ([[User talk:Neutrality|hopefully!]])]] 21:20, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Just a joke, not notable, at least the article doesn't say why it is (one mention on Simpsons doesn't cut it). [[User:Thue|Thue]] | [[User talk:Thue|talk]] 12:50, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
