It recently came to my attention that no one knows where the "Netham is a lobster" meme started, so I decided to figure it out. After prolonged searching through irc logs and forum topics, here are my findings:
On Thursday, Febuary 5th, 2009, at precisely 10:28:08 PM, Speler brought the meme into existance with the creation of this (http://ourl.ca/3153) topic. The meme apparently sperad pretty fast, as is evident from irc logs from that very day:
22:48:14 <Iambian> Netham is a lobster.
22:48:51 <ticalcnoah> I voted lobster
22:48:53 <Netham46> :O
22:48:57 <Netham46> Lies!
22:49:45 * Iambian licks teh lobstery shell of teh Netham, tastes of lobster
22:50:15 * Netham46 scurries away.
22:50:44 * Iambian pounces the lobster and continues licking it!
22:50:48 <DJ_Omnimaga> oO
22:50:53 <Netham46> *acks*
22:50:55 * DJ_Omnimaga grabs Netham46
22:51:11 <Iambian> RAWR!
22:51:17 <Iambian> MY LOBSTER!
22:51:24 * Netham46 pinches DJ_Omnimaga
22:52:02 <DJ_Omnimaga> <.<
22:52:13 <DJ_Omnimaga> mhmm
So there you have it. Netham is a lobster, no questions asked. O0

O_o...
But that doesn't tell me why the lobster is Blue.

Well, after an actual picture of Netham45 was revealed, this fact was quite obvious! ;)
-
I believe this is why he's blue, but as you can see, some crucial evidence is missing: http://ourl.ca/3204

How about pink?

There's an irc reference from September 15th, 2009 here (http://netham45.org/irc/EfNet/view.php?log=Old-Omnimaga-2009.20090915) that appears to be soon after he got his pink nickname. :D
-
Nice detective work! :D
I always knew that Netham45 was a blue lobster. :P
-
Hehe I remember this, I still haven't figured out how it became popular, though. O.o
-
It became popular, just like the duck roll.
-
Yeah, sometimes some stuff gains in popularity for absolute no reason O.o. I guess that's just the Internet. :P
The peanut thing has been running for over 6 years now. It even survived a 6 month shut down (and restart from scratch). XD
-
Lobsters are weird.
-
I think Netham45 will hate you forever. D:
On an unrelated note nice to see you around again. :D
