The fun of Lemmy’s “all” is that you see posts from all around the world. Today my feed is suddenly full of memes in German about an old white guy with an eyepatch. Who is he, and why is he suddenly a meme?

    Finally the guy with the eyepatch arrives, he was drippin wet with gin fizz

    He was half dead and dynamite

    With the needle-marked arms like the frontman in some grunge band

    A big straw hat and a liquid orange suntan

    He cooled himself off with a Japanese handfan

    He motioned for silence and then he began

    He made a joke; he leaned in close, and then he spoke

    I’m sorry, I can’t read the phase “the eyepatch guy” without thinking of Lifter Puller.
