GOD DAMN IT!! I WAITED SO LONG FOR ELIEZER'S KARMA TO GO JUST A BIT ABOVE 9000! KAJ SOTALA, YOU RUINED IT, YOU BASTARD, HOW COULD YOU! THAT'S IT, I'M QUITTING THE INTERNETS!

At least I can now make ten times more comments like this before I run out of karma.

That is hilarious! And so pertinent.

For us non manga/anime geeks, could you provide some context please.

edit2: I originally linked to encyclopediadramatica.com, but changed the link to Urban Dictionary because someone mentioned that the ads contained pornography (I had not noticed that).

(Link contains pornographic advertising if anyone cares about that sort of thing.)

Thanks, I just changed it in case anyone was reading this from a workplace or anywhere where they could get in trouble by clicking on the link.

:D

Sorry. But hey, over 37000 is certainly above 9000 as well, isn't it?

37000 > 9000 but it's not "over nine thousaaand" (I would have up/down-voted Eliezer's comments to keep his karma at exactly 9001). The joke is also killed by the fact that Eliezer isn't the only one with that much karma now.
