the legend of joe:
once upon a time the old pioneer press water cooler had a pain in the ass poster who went by the name of joe medallion. ol' joe would post meaningless single character posts as the posts came close to numbers ending in 0. occasionally, he'd miss one, but when he actually got it he'd proudly proclaim: JOE!!
so, now in honor of him, whenever any of us hits a post ending in a 0, whether intentional or not, we claim them as joe's. some people have their special joe. whether its the last two digits of their birth year, or their age or some such thing. joe has kind of become a part of cooler crew tradition.
i take back what i said. when he got one, he'd just say "i am #700" or "i am #1200. i was also #700." we just adopted his name and now call them joe's.

And that boys and girls, is the story of the JOE!
