I wrote the M&M Duels post years ago as a joke. I have seen my story reposted   
   many times and many explanations but here is the truth. I like how it gets   
   reposted but wish people didn't edit it. Iam a guy not a girl. The post was   
   made as a troll. A poster    
   in a newsgroup said my friends and I never post anything intelligent and this   
   was my response. The original post will be found on usnet if my memory serves   
   me it was in alt.mtv.roadrules. we used to troll that group. It was back in   
   the 90's. I was at    
   home and the TV was on in the background playing a game show. At the end of   
   the show they said to send your name on a 3x5 card to then if you wanted to be   
   a contestant and that's where that part of the story came from. I still eat my   
   M&M this way. It's    
   the only way to go through a bag of M&M's. I find myself doing similar things   
   with other foods. Like gum that comes in squares. I have to squeeze it then   
   rotate the cube and squeeze again. I am interested in the way stress fractures   
   appear in the jelly    
   bean as well. One of my most prized possessions is a Skor bar that I have   
   completely nibbled the chocolate off without the center breaking. There was NO   
   licking involved. (That's cheating) so is dragging your teeth across it. Only   
   nibbles allowed.    
      
   I am happy my story went viral. I had no idea it did until a person posted it   
   on my own blog. As I read it I was kinda freaked out. Thought this guy was   
   some weird stalker who had old posts of mine. He told me he found it online   
   somewhere. I did a quick    
   search and was shocked. Also a little sad that I never knew it was happening.   
   This story was even discussed on the Siskel and Ebert blog. I was a fan and   
   could have talked to them.
