Hopkin Green Frog
<h2>Origin</h2>
<p><em>September 2003…</em> several posters about a missing frog are found in Seattle. “Terry” seemed quite determined to get a frog back. A Hopkin Green Frog.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/f/f8/Hopkin-large.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>One year later the website <a href="http://lostfrog.org/">lostfrog.org</a> surfaced. It gained attention quickly, and the popular community forum Metafilter had <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/36801/A-Ribbeting-Story">two</a> <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/36691/him-name-is-hopkin-green-frog">threads</a> about Hopkin and the search to find him.</p>
<h2>Usage</h2>
<p>The meme’s purest form is the search to find and the sightings of ol’ Hopkin. Here’s a video about the <a href="http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/him-name-hopkin.php">search</a></p>
<p>Example</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww138/Captain_Blubber/moon.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h2>Followup</h2>
<p>Hopkin has yet to be found, but what has been found is the story behind it.</p>
<p>It’s seems Hopkin is not an <em>actual</em> frog but a toy given out by McDonald’s with their Happy Meals during their “Animal Alley” campaign.</p>

<p>The Terry character was a 16 year-old boy who suffered from autism. According to <a href="http://mike.whybark.com/archives/001951.html">this</a> article, Terry’s father does not wish that Terry has his frog returned to him.</p>
<p>Because of his Father’s orders, Terry’s search will go on forever. The quest to find Hopkin Green Frog will never <em>ever</em> end.</p>
<p>p.s. I’ll find my frog, who took my frog</p>
