Holy criznap! (http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/40645)

Gonores, your baby has just gone global. Congratulations, I think this officially qualifies as a meme.

Yeah a friend of mine posted that link on his livejournal last night and I commented "Oh you read 2+2? what's your username?"

he replied "what's 2+2??"

I think we're for a huge influx of people.

Metafilter got it from here but overgrow.com or cannabisworld.com (I don't remember which) had this thread over a year ago. Yeah, I know, a shocking point of origin for this important question.

The 'how many five year olds' thread is the greatest thing i have ever seen on the internet, and i've seen a lot of good stuff (i mean porn).

Gonores could not have come up with this, I don't think. A few weeks ago in class, I overheard people talking about it and asked where they heard it from. It did not trace back to here.

Nevertheless, it is an excellent question and I still guarentee I could take out 200+

Actually, I don't what metafilter.com is, and I don't know what a meme is, but I am officially declaring myself an Internet D-List Celebrity.

If you actually came up with it, god bless you sir. And I'm not lieing, two absolutely random students at my college were talking about it before class one day. They do not play poker, at all. This thing is getting big man.

I can assure you my post was 100% original to the best of my knowledge. I know the post has made it on to numerous sites and blogs, and no one has presented any contradictory evidence to me.

That thread started way after gonores posted...

I went back and read his posts in the thread, seems likely that he did come up with it originally.

It would be sad if he doesn't get credit for it, it is remarkably brilliant.

OK, fair enough. I really do stand by the statement that it was original, but it certainly looks very similar. I don't puff, so I never happened across it.

It's definitely not my intellectual property any more though.

Dude, those threads are from MARCH 2003!!!! The 2+2 thread was JANUARY 2005.

I believe he had no outside influence and it was hilarious. But like a patent or copyright, it did exist before he posted it.

Sorry Gonores :-/ I thought it was hilarious, don't want to spoil your fun. 2+2ers will always give you credit for it.

What am I missing? It looks like the post on the weed website started in 2003.

No need to apologize....all you did was confront me with the truth. I believe my rep on this site is strong enough that 2+2ers will trust me on this one.

I think Saltcracka's post, on the other hand, was in poor taste. He's basically equating me with a common troll, and I really don't need people thinking that not only am I a liar, but an unsuccessful one at that.

Ruining that makes me feel like Debbie Downer on SNL. That's the only funny skit they've had in the past few years.

Wrong. You're dead to us now.

OK, maybe not. And you're way off, you were a D-list celebrity at least with the 60 day challenge. This bumps you to a D+ or C-.
