Reasonably.
Notice in that thread that Lebez. used the ':o' smiley after his post, indicating that it may already have been an existing joke. (you could study this at university - the intricacies of internet communication). Also, why would Lebez randomly say that in response to a picture of a discus-thrower unless the joke was pre-existing?
I seem to remember that the original joke was the result of someone misunderstanding a long-winded post and saying "I just bought a pair of these today". I think it had something to do with a pair of shoes. |
I can confirm, it was the original post. I'd bought a pair of discus's. :) |

Indeed. And to be honest, I am still amused it became a meme. Such a random phrase to catch on. :stongue: |

Fungus -> Fungi; Discus -> Disci |

We may both be correct, it seems.
discus [ˈdɪskəs]
n. pl. discuses, disci [ˈdɪskaɪ] |

| Disci knows his grammar, lemme tell ya. |

We are mere sigs and avatars passing through the core, hiding in plain sight.
Let's hug it out here. |
I know who you are.... so your thread fails :o |

When I was searching to see if Lebez's use of the phrase was the first, I came up with a *lot* of threads with you starting a sequence of "I bought a pair of these today" posts.
