Where does the ...1. blah blah blah 2.???? 3.Profit come from?

[mAdMaLuDaWg]

I've seen this in a couple of threads:
1. do something
2. ???
3. Profit

What is it supposed to mean and where does it come from?

Yea I'm sure it's real easy to come up with search terms that will give the result he's looking for. :roll:

 

[mobobuff]

1. Collect Underpants.
2. ?
3. Profit.

Yea that's great. The 2nd result gives an indirect reference to the origin of 3. profit, as yet another link. Admit that you linked to Google because you just wanted to be a dick.

I did want to be a dick, but that's beside the point. The second result explains exactly where the phrase came from. there's no need to click the link to fool.com. The link is there to provide a more in depth analysis of the origin.

Nice try though.

Admit that you just wanted to be a dick in reaction to my wanting being a dick. And in doing so, you dicked yourself.

Nice hijack btw

The time you wasted in posting so far, you could have easily linked to any site yourself providing the OP an answer. How was he suppose to know 3. profit was used outside of these forums? I didn't, and I'm glad he asked the question because now I know what it means. That's what makes these forums enjoyayble, you know, where people actually ask questions and get answers.

google will get you an answer faster than posting to an internet forum.

My suggestion would be:

1. Google
2. Search the forums
3. Ask question in the forums


I'll place my money on the fact that OP skipped straight to #3

You don't give google enough credit.

Please let this thread die

So... rather than post in a forum where people use it all the time, which takes less than 20 seconds, he should comb google for an answer, even though he knows for a fact that people here use it and know the meaning but he doesn't know whether google will?

In fact I highly doubt google will provide an answer "faster" if by faster you mean in less time of HIS spent. It may be true that the actual start time to answer time according to the clock is quciker. But it's much quicker to spend 20 seconds typing a post, then come back later and check the results.

Dude... you've got some issues... seriously.
Can't belive you are getting this pissed off just becuase I didn't do a google search for a term I thought originated on these forums.

Here's something for you to do:
1. Make forums where you ALWAYS have to search on google before posting a new thread
2. ??
3. Profit (and instantly become a dick)

Neither #1 nor #2 allow entertaining discussions like this. I laughed hard at FrustratedUser's edit to your post. Thus I motion to ban the use of #1 or #2.

 

[richardycc]

anyone has the wave file of this saying? I am wondering how do you say the "2. ?" part, just "two, question mark"?

Well, let's use this thread as an example. OP would've had to wait 10 minutes to get the answer in this forum. He posted at xx:54, and the first answer came in at xx:04. using google, I found the answer in 10 seconds. The difference in time to wait for the answer in this thread is negligible. He would need to have this thread already on the page, and maybe he would hit F5 every 2 minutes to get the answer. That right there is a waste of time. Most likely, he navigated away from the page. Maybe he had the fourms bookmarked, he would still need to navigate to this thread. Not to mention, what if he has ADD? Maybe 10 minutes goes by and the shiny quarter makes him forget he even made this thread?

So the dick is trying to become a smart ass

1. Be a dick by posting a link to google on the forums
2. Get totally 0wned
3. Try to mitigate the effect of the 0wnage by becoming a smart ass
4. ???
5. Profit
