I also made this. It didn't get used, but it did get a ton of emptyquotes in LF

It actually started out as a plush frog toy that for some reason showed up in a porn video. Which is supposedly how it got its start here as an image: http://forums.somethingawful.com/dictionary.php?act=3&topicid=2083

Also the only Google search that pulls it up is "get out frog."

I think this thread has established the provenance of the frog repeatedly. I assume Coffee And Pie was asking about the vending company, whether it's owned by a goon or if they just found the picture and liked it.

Yeah, what I was getting at is that it probably is because it mainly started here and the only way to find it on Google is with some prior knowledge of the whole "get out" thing.

Kamina is a character in the really awesome anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. He's known for being the raddest dude ever (in an ironic kinda way) and he looks kinda like that smiley. Most people know him for his pointy shades. That emote is basically the
