Going viral like it's 1999: The story of 'Dogs in Elk'

"I know how to take meat away from a dog. How do I take a dog away from meat?" This was a real question posed in Salon.com's Table Talk forum in 1999. What ensued from there played out like, well, a play. The Endless Thread team performs the accidental, online, collaborative comedy that came to be known as "Dogs in Elk" by the people who made this strange story an early viral internet sensation. *** Survey alert : Tell us what you love about the show, what you want more of; what you could stand a little less of.
