So when you try to figure out if I post here I can respond appropriately? Is it so bad to put a face to a name? If you want to preserve your anonimity so be it!

I usually make some reference to needing a better pattern mapper after a bad beat. If it gets a laugh from somebody, I assume they read 2+2

The last time I played live I was talking to a woman next to me and we started talking about our children....I mentioned that my 16 year old was all-county and had 15 tackles for losses.....a guy at the other end of the table said "sup bro?" The woman didn't get it....lol.

Well, OK then. I had to bust your balls a little tho. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Seriously, I usually just ask them if they're a poster on the forum. If they are, it's real obvious right away. If they aren't, it's also obvious. If they aren't, and they ask "what's that?" I tell them "the wife-swappers forum." That usually ends it real quick.

How about "I'm grunching...anyone here grunching?"

If there aren't any 2+2ers, then the folks at the table will sure as hell leave you be.

I believe the complete sign is, "The brown trout sleeps in the closet." And the positive counter-sign is, "That he does." Though that originated in the Zoo, I think that is fairly well known throughout 2+2-dom at this point. I usually ask, "Hey, do you know the one about the brown trout in the closet?"

I wish I had a punch line for the usual case that they have no idea what I'm talking about and think it is a real joke...

Online, I use either brown trout or "sup bro."
When the other player is confused by this, I immediately cover by saying "oh, you haven't heard of them? They're a great garage band from (fill in other user's location). You're really missing out man." This immediately gets them off thinking that they've been offered a secret handshake, and instead makes them (presumably) think I'm just an oddball.

Live, I keep a brown trout card protector in front of my stack, which other 2+2ers recognize immediately. Happened twice a few weeks ago at Borgata. I will throw out a "sup bro" in a live game IF I've played with the guy for a few hours, know he is TAG, and am HU with him in a hand. That way I have his/her attention. I once got 2+2er Scrub by this method when he was screwing around/drinking in a Borgata 1/2 NL game.

Why doesn't 2+2 make some t-shirt that says 'sup bro?'
