Someone Ripped Off My Penis!

On Wednesday, I wrote about the concept of "being penis'd" — basically, responding to any conversation with the non-sequitur "Penis."

I am the first to admit that, though fun, it's a little silly, and I hoped to explain it and kind of just leave it at that.

But they drag me back in…

Suddenly today, via GorillaMask, I see a link to a new Tumblr blog called "You've Been Penis'd" which basically outlines the use of the "penis response technique" in a number of high-profile situations.

Now, I have no proof that someone began this blog after reading my post; however, if you Google, "been penis'd" (which I do quite regularly I might add), only 7 results show up.

I'll let you guess what the top two results are…

I also must admit, I did not come up with this concept.  Being penis'd is bigger than all of us.  I do not claim to have created it.  But it appears I may have coined the term.  (Well, actually my friend Mark kind of did, but f' him!)

A little credit where credit is due, people!  I don't have much to hang my hat on.  Let me hang my hat on this penis!

The blog is really funny, by the way.  I hope to see more.
