All over the Internet, fishermen post on fora and social media looking for "tips and suggestions for stripper fishing" and get appropriately ridiculous responses.
I'm even older. I was around to see the very first internet viral meme. That CGI dancing baby. I saw it even before it was featured on Ally McBeal, thus also starting the tradition of killing a viral meme when it hit mainstream.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Viral memes on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched CGI babies dance in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.
People would use these templates to create meandering comic style blog posts and present them as memes. It seems like they were the first generation of memes that went fully mainstream and imo were very bad because people could not help but make the comics very long and boring.

Ironically it makes you seem rather young to think remembering this makes you old

Remember the striper versions on porn sites?
I never understood who the market was. Like why would you want a little stripper clippy/bonzo buddy assistant?

What's the connection between striping and fishing?

Striped Bass are commonly called "stripers".
