Twitter user Richard Cook has spent his entire week carefully crafting and hiding a message inside of his tweets.
Somebody OUGHTA GO BACK AND READ THE FIRST WORD OF MY TWEETS FOR THE LAST WEEK.

Buzzfeed certainly noticed, and then everyone bowed down.
Without further adieu, let’s have a look….
Somebody OUGHTA GO BACK AND READ THE FIRST WORD OF MY TWEETS FOR THE LAST WEEK.

This tweet, while the most recent, contains the first part of the message. “Somebody”. Hmm.
Once seen, cannot be unseen. https://t.co/UvRT5k2zda

Hmmm….Once? Somebody, Once. Okay. Let’s keep moving.

“Told.” Uh oh. “Somebody,” “Once,” “Told.” We think we might know where this is going.
Let’s keep going. I think we’re close.

Roll my eyes at people who tag their friends into Facebook videos of cool things abroad that they'll never go to or experience.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
That’s right. It’s the lyrics to Smash Mouth’s All-Star…aka the song all over Radio Disney in 1999.
It’s also the theme song to Shrek.
He finished the verse, too.
and continued all the way through to the second verse.
In total, the message reads
“Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin’ kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an L on her forehead.”
That is 38 tweets in reverse order over the course of the week to achieve that level of troll.
And the Internet. Loved. It.
you masterful motherfucker

In a final parting comment to Buzzfeed, all Richard Cook had to say was: “All that glitters is gold. Only shooting stars break the mold.”
