The Edmonton gang was doing a zoom happy hour (eastern standard time, of course), and most of the roster dipping in and out. With the SHL allowing the players to sim from home during the ongoing pandemic, the players were scattered across the globe (really just North America and Europe, but Emiko Specter checked in from Japan, too). At one point, there were 16 of us in the video chat, and newly appointed captain Brady McIntyre needed to run a quick errand. As the host, if he had signed off, the chat would have ended, but we urged him to keep the stream active. He agreed and said his goodbyes, announcing that he would be back in an hour or so.
As soon as Brady was out of the house, Tony Pepperoni announced his disgusting idea. He announced his plan to crop an image of "tubgirl" into 4 rows and 4 columns, then we would each full screen our corresponding fraction of the image, and the other 15 frames of the video collage would create a large "tubgirl" mosaic with Brady's video stream/face overlaying the masked girl's face when he came back.
Most of us didn't know what tubgirl was, so that was really disturbing to learn about, but even more disturbing was the fact that Finn-Rhys already had the 15 files ready, as if this was a borrowed idea, but he assured us that it was for "other" reasons.
We got our screens set up and full-screened, and waited to spring our trap. About an hour later, after a bit of light chatting and discussion about what a wild place the internet is, everyone kind of got bored. In an effort to maintain the charade, we encouraged players to just leave their computers running with their streams connected. After a few more hours, no one was near their computer, and Brady still wasn't home yet.
The next evening, Brady got home. He had just posted bail for not wearing a mask in public and was looking forward to resetting and relaxing in his house. Unfortunately, the image he was greeted by on his computer was not relaxing (different type of lax). Even more unfortunate, the image had burned itself into his computer screen, so a faint image of tubgirl was permanently visible.
