You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Our wings are not tired.

Probably not the first, but there is a number of posts discussing Bob's love of carrots in the Natter 9 archive. Starting with post #129. Warning!! Natter 9 is filled with feels.

Ooops. Just did that "Bob likes carrots!!" thing, didn't I?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Laga, I did the same thing, and was surprised, because I would have SWORN it was in there.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm pretty sure I'm the genesis of that one. It's the phenomenon often seen when someone has a new SO and they can't stop talking about him/her, and use any excuse, no matter how tenuous, to keep talking about him/her. So if someone mentioned they cooked carrots for dinner, the newly smitten person would pipe up with "Bob likes carrots!"

I seem to remember it was bon bon.

Gosh, I wouldn't try to take credit for someone else's idea, but it's been so long that I might have forgotten. I wouldn't know where to look to find the origin, so I'll let it go.

I could be wrong, also. Maybe it just stuck in my mind because of Bob Bob.

I am an obsessive freak and can't let anything go (despite my last post), and I found a post from me in Natter 8, where I called it "Bob-likes-peas syndrome." it's an archived thread, so I don't know how to make a link. But maybe I picked it up from bon bon and totally forgot. I can't remember a damn thing from 2003, so who knows?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Teppy originated "likes carrots" fur sure.
