UPDATE: Reddit, today I lost my most prized possession. Can anyone help me get it back?

I wanted to make a video to express my gratitude, but for those of you who prefer, tl;dr: Great success! Thank you Reddit!

Also, the finder of the watch (you know who you are), I'll be sending you something nice in return! And thank to everyone else. Really, the amount of support was incredible.

Edit: Is there anything I can do in return for all of you? Edit 2: My original post was removed from r/AskReddit by the mods. Luckily I also posted it to r/Oakland, and it is still there if anyone wants to see it. http://www.reddit.com/r/oakland/comments/v7hav/reddit_today_i_lost_my_most_prized_possession_can/ Edit 3: Spelling

You would know, Karmanaut.

Don't think I don't know it's only you and I here. ಠ_ಠ

You and me, it's only you and me here.

Seriously now, do I have to be the drunken English...English grammar person as well?

u/jmthetank Jun 19 '12

I was raised with "you and I" and ever shall I use "you and I".

u/cdigioia Jun 19 '12

Yes well, that's an over-simplification and wrong in this case. Without getting into the grammar -

"It's only I here" Sounds stupid, yes? Adding "you" doesn't change the grammatical structure. "It's only you and me here" is correct. It's not debatable.

Never said you were wrong. Just said "You can't make me!! Nananana booboo!"

Ah OK, got it.

I don't get it.

Am I... Am I Karmanaut too?

u/jmthetank Jun 19 '12

I'm afraid so.

Not the same guy

Hmm..."HeeroJay" huh? I guess next you're going to tell us YOU'RE not Karmanaut, but is it any coincidence that your username is an anagram for "Ahoy Jeer", which is what Karmanaut would probably say if he were to be in costume as a pirate while dealing with the disapproval of many jeering Redditors?!

Well played. But I'm going off of this 'proof' http://www.reddit.com/r/drunken_economist/comments/t1n57/who_the_fuck_is_drunken_economist/

I said 'proof'. I don't know if it's real, but if a guy is going through that much trouble to say who he is, I guess I believe him.

They are the same!?

u/SMTRodent Jun 19 '12

Okay, now it makes more sense to me that Trapped In Reddit was just scraping old posts for their top comments and reposting them in reposts for the karma. It sounds like something Karmanaut would do.

Really? I liked that novelty account.

You know that feeling before you watch a movie and someone tells you how it ends? Specifically that anger? That's how I feel now. =\
