Hello! I'm a little starstruck because Legolas old as balls has been very linguistically influential on me over the past 14 years. My parents hated it when I was a teenager living at home.
Were you influenced by Hark A Vagrant's Gatsby comic of a similar phrasing when you penned it, or is it a case of convergent evolution? This would settle an argument between me and my loved ones.
i wasn't the original creator of the old as balls meme. it was just an existing meme floating around on 9gag (omfg ancient hellsite) that i'd turned into a gifset back when gifs were first launched here on tumblr. i learned later on that the 9gag meme was based on hark a vagrant but to be 100% sure of the origin, you'll have to dig deeper to find the True Creator to get the True Answer.
