Who's Irene?

[RiskKid.]

Was just thinking about this beacuse RW always uses the phrase "Goodnight Irene" when he shuts down a thread. I've heard this phrase quite often over the years.

Anyone know who Irene is or was? Where did this phrase come from?

I think she hangs out with Pettis, looking for Tony Stewart  :

Irene is the name of the name of RW's famous lock/delete button.

I remember Irene.

Of her, in high school, I had a wet dream.

Her skin like alabaster and cream.

Her figure made me want to scream.

To touch that fair maiden I did scheme.

And when I did, she kicked me in the nuts.

Oh, I remember Irene. Goodnight Irene! That really hurt!
