Terry Shipman is also not a hoax! “This is my dad,” Terry’s son Mike wrote to me in an email. “He never gets on Twitter and the one picture he tweets goes viral. While he might not get to 3 million retweets the number should continue to increase with all the love and support he is getting.”

“I find it hilarious,” Mike wrote.

Just pure Internet weirdness and lulz. Remember what the Internet was like before neverending hoaxes ruined it?
