I was just on gamefaqs.com and someone responded to a retarded question with the Family Guy Rickroll. I laughed. I have yet to be legitimately rickrolled here though, mostly because I stick to OOT where I don't think it's running rampant yet.

I used to fax the lyrics to random law firms back in the late eighties, so I am the inventor of the rickroll.

Does anyone know where the 'd comes from? Why RickRoll'd instead of RickRolled or RickPwned?

The question you have to ask is would I put a rickroll here or the actual link to the answer to your question?

Well, what do you think?

I don't know the origin, but 'd is standard internet slang.

A lot of people are still acting as if the rickroll originated on twoplustwo. It's annoying because two seconds with google reveals it was all over the place before it was here:

Another intersting thing I learn here. Very cool to remember about duckrolling at the wikipedia link.
