did a thing

When one is so basic that one cannot describe their own actions, they use this phrase and think it's cute. It is not actually cute in real life, it just pisses everyone off due to the lack of information or care to explain any detail of what occurred.

The Thing

John Carpenter's 1982 remake of the 1950's classic.
Set in the winter of 1982 at a research station in Antarctica where a 12-man team finds an alien being thats been frozen in the ice for over 100,000 years. Unfrozen, the creature unleashed havoc and terror as it changes into the form of whatever being it consumes, allowing it to get, undetected into the presence of it's next victim.
Great film
