Geek speak-where did it start?

It's been here for a while. A tribute (or perhaps satire if you will), to the glory days, at the simpler wartch forum from a simpler time, WartchGeeks. When did it start here? Reckon I don't know but here is an early sample, from September 2010, in the post by boscoe. If you know of an earlier thread, post it.

Yup. A fine thing Too archeologize GODAM it. I believe this tidbit, posted by foggy in a thread I started last year, points to Big Cheez using Geek Speak on 7-31-10:

I don't know who started it but TZ is the guy that perfected it. I once attempted his nuanced use of random commas and failed miserably - it's much harder than it looks.

As an "early-adopter" of this communication method, I wholeheartedly concur. TZ has the gift.

With the lilt of Irish laughter

Every day and in every way

Now forever and ever after."

We have all seen them come & go. Proudly exclaiming to be in the big end of the pool, they get a little water up the nose......... then demands the pool be converted to wading.

Fuck that! These peeps need to simply relegate themselves to running through the sprinkler whilst holding their nose IMHO

By my recollection it goes back to when I was the Grand Fromage at the Invicta Section of another watch forum whose name I honestly can't remember. Used to delight in writing bizarre satires and sendups with kooky grammar. At the same time, Conjurer was making delightfully silly posts at BDWF doing the same thing. Geek-speak became a secret code and handshake among sly mixed martial-artist cross-forum members. Think was maybe 15 years ago(???).
