who used it, of all the memes that people kept using over and over, that 3-9 one had by far the longest shelf life.  for instance, the 'oakland in play' one was good for maybe 5 minutes and was then the deadest of dead horses.   

i will say that the whole red lobster biscuit one should be revisited in happy times.

That's fair. If it's a well-timed, legitimately good joke, then I don't have much of an issue with it.

The problem I suppose is that this 3-9 stuff is used so much, and oftentimes in ways that is just flat out lazy or unfunny, that it seems to be less about being funny and more about finding any way to attach 3-9 into some crappy joke.

Kind of one of those "you say it so much it's lost all meaning" kind of deals.

"They didn't even give me a reason."  Certainly can't be lack of spots available, and given the need for able bodies over there, doesn't seem like it'd be performance related. So maybe they decided his grades weren't good enough but you'd think that would be something you would just tell the young man. Possibly something turned up in his background check that they didn't want to publicize to save him the embarrassment?

Dunno.  Seems bizarre.
