Philosoraptor is 15 years old, Bad Luck Brian and Success Kid are 12 years, but Doge (without that background) is 10 years. Best I can do is $3.50

I'm the original creator of the "Still waiting on OP" meme from The Shining and have a mildly interesting story behind its creation if anyone would care to hear.

Well not a decade ago, more like decade and a half at this point. By 2014 it was all pretty post-ironic MLG montage type stuff, at least where I was at. That and being edgy.
