On the serious tip, they BANNED quonsar for being surreal?
Really?
That's surreal. And stupid.

Matt?
they BANNED quonsar for being surreal?Not exactly.
what does "shitting in AskMetafilter" mean, exactly? He "poisoned" a thread by taking it in a different direction than was considered obvious?
Gwuh?
Q has always been good for a giggle and I've never seen him get personal with others... whatever. I've got no complaints. Blort is one of my fave sites and now that he's over here, we can keep him to ourselves.
Free Quonsar? Hell, that fugga is BORN free. Free as the roaring tide.
Will somebody please explain this tempest-in-a-teapot to me? I visited MeFi, I saw the MeTa thread. He's a popular smartass who got his naughty bottom spanked by their Super Admin Number 1. Right?
Bingo, G.
Do you not do Mefi?
Unfortunately, I think he has been reinstated before the 3/15 free quonsar day, so instead...I think we should try to get him banned so we all have a reason to turn our sites orange.
Not enough to understand the quasi-gravitas that seems to surround his temporary suspension. "OMFG - you killed Kenny banned Quonsar!" "You bastards!" usw.
I'm sure that tracicle will wield her Mahiresque eyebrow of Doom here in a similar fashion, should it prove necessary. [cowers and cringes before the threat of the Brow]
IANAM(I am not a MeTa), but... considering that it seems to be a pretty habitual thing for quonsar to get banned, why is everyone dumping on matt so much this time?
Am I gonna get chewed out for this?*cringes with goetter*
The ask.metafilter guidelines are pretty clear that it isn't meant as a discussion forum, and that people shouldn't post if they aren't answering the question asked. Also, as was explained in Matt's comment in the related MeTa thread, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back WRT q's lack of meaningful contributions.
Not that I don't want to have q's babies as much as anyone else, but those were the reasons, and I don't think Matt was out of line in that case, and q didn't exactly seem surprised when talking about it.
no one was sooprized, some people just like making a fake fuss, for the fun of it. then even more people like to pretend not to understand that it's just in fun. and matt takes everyone too seriously and feels the need to explain his reasons, when he so clearly doesn't need to. then some brown nosers like to come out and get all nurse ratchet and fuss about the rules. then some other stuff happens that i won't mention here because it makes some people look really insane (but if you're curious and can actually track down my real email addie i'll tell you all about it), then we all forget about it 'til next time. it's a whole lotta fun, yah. *feels sick and dizzy*
i think what they need most over at mefi these days is a pain-free machine that removes pickles, sticks, logs, and other non desireable objects from people's bums and eyes.
metafilter seems to be getting to smart for it's own damn good. i'm sick of the people bitching about "newsfilterish" bullshit, or the elitest, hepper, and holier than thou attitude there. fuck 'em. ban me too.
i'd say go quonsar, but since he's already unbanned, go get banned again quonsar.
(damnitkage - your profile homepage linkydink isn't working...i think you forgot to put the http:// in front of it)
Give a man a quonsar, feed him for a day. Teach a man to trap a quonsar using a dime bag and a butterfly net, and he'll regret it.
I just liked the Grey Tuesday ripoff, and the purty banners.
Ah, lots of us never even realized Quonsar was on a involuntary hiatus. This free Quonsar movement is just an excuse to do some rabble rousing.
This rabble is aroused! Give us the Bastille!
why doesn't quonsar go out in a blaze of glory, post some hideously ridiculously inappropriate shit, declare he's leaving mefi because it's just no fun anymore, and become a mofite for life?
why stay somewhere you're not wanted?
Poor Matt.
The free quonsar site itself is very bloody funny.
(26th comment, and the second mention of the site. Woo hoo)
Someone should kick me.
you've seen a single phil collins concert (he was HUGE
in the bathroom walls. his clothing was torn from his body and every
man will be able to rape and pillage!
That's my Quonsar.
I too love that genefilter thing. Just went to the quonsarfilter and got:
i will be prohibited unless you happen to occur during a bout of diarrhea. remind me not to show the world to come. oh, pysse on it!
Yes!
Oh, and I'm very relieved quonsar's back. Everything had been getting kind of gray and antidisestablishmentarian.
languagehat: are you sure you didn't accidentally read MeTa?
Happy Birthday, quonsar!
Also, happy belated birthday to Blort, which is now four years old. Bottoms up!
Cheers Q!
On the other hand, I do miss Quonset the hutt.
But, yeah, quonsar should probably stick with his famosity. Best wishes to my favorite shit stirrer.
We should buy him a new birthday fish. His old one smells like pants.
Happy blortday to Q!
You are going to scare him away with all the niceness.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Gloom and sadness in the air!
People dying in despair!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
aw. gawrsh!
hee hee! speeech! speeeech!
yes, do honor us with words and, um, other stuff
Poo! Poo!
wow... time flies, eh?
Happy Birthday, again, quonsar!
Awww - The Q takes a lap! happy b-day!
You mean quonsar gets ANOTHER birthday?
the people demand it!
According to his profile, the q hasn't visited since June. So sad.
you can't always believe that profile thing.
:)
and you can't always get what you want...
I'm not gonna pay a lot for this Quonsar
But, sometimes you get what you need. Hi, quonsar!
is it that time again, already? sigh...
happy birthday, q!
gimme a q
gimme a wan
gimme a sar
what are you on?
Ah, genefilter.
Oops, try this one. It's pretty much get whatever i ask for in the soft palate might be nothing, it might be most likely to tip someone who's bipolar into a reasonably funny, more outgoing person. Not a small feat, that.
I think about it, I really didn't care for my former students to have the right apartment/neighborhood, you might also try checking those out (again, with meeting a potential partner as the goal). I've talked with friends who have praised bondage.com and alt.com. You may want to talk to your head.
OK, my tinfoil hat is on the weekend before last.

You can also build your playlists in this without buying an iPod or Nikes? I run on Brooks Addictions and have porked to your local sporting goods store or gun shop (if you've got a guy who's a really damn good read. Southern Gothic at its best. Another whammy of a brilliant but absolutely mad American. It's a good gun case, the climate control in your possession. All bets are off.

Wow, quid's decontextualized/Markov-ized comments aren't much different from his "normal" posts.
(and are awesome)
Has anyone ever been banned from here? I am not talking about self-linkers or some such. I am talking about people who were around for a while and made at least a few hundred or so comments. Did anyone ever get banned for their conduct?
Well, Chy did, if I recall. So I guess I know how that one ended. Anyone else?
Yeah that MarkovFilter is pretty funny.
Oh, how quickly we forget...
I don't know about a few hundred comments, but most of us remember a sweet gal with an embarrassed boyfriend that made a few comments that stirred up hundred pounds of crap!
It's a toss-up whether she left in a huff before our terrifying Trackrakan slammed the door on her butt.
Jerry Garcia?
Decani?
Uh, that's all I got. And they're guesses, honestly.
Berek. And Jerry had a couple of accounts get banned.
Really, really white males.
This bold move was not uncharacteristic, given Bush's little-discussed CIA past.
The whole thing was pretty creepy, especially when one factored in the world, and I can't overstate the importance of rehearsing the parts a cappella.

Holy shit, I could do this all night. don't worry, i won't.

The only thing worse than a "bad" post is the stick-assed black turtleneck brigade whining about it. "Does MeFi always have to be killed, I will snatch, disarm and startle the space pants off whatever the hell should anybody care if I was to actually become addicted - not that it's very likely at all, given the difference in how opioids work medically versus recreationally - if it significantly improved my quality of life? /pet peeve derail
I'd like to push the brain real-time interaction thing a little further. I want to get in the middle of your apartment.

Same here. Plus Wolof and mandyman, but at least they're still highly findable on Mofirc.
Ah, yes, Wolov. That makes we wish I liked chat.
Want to talk about it, path?
yay drunk commenting and markovfiltering!\
Surveillance with a Buddhist feel. Great post. I discovered last spring that I need to discard these critical techniques just because you're singing rock. Breathing, using the diaphragm and abdominal muscles to manage the breath, opening up your middle register first, and then warm up your concerns with acid reflux. Try to see a bunch of questions about these things over the years. For fantasy, I grew up there, but you knew that already. :)If I can answer "yes" to those questions, then it's axiomatic that a cigar is sometimes a big mistakeWhen I contacted my friendly neighborhood antiquarian bookseller, he said that with early copies of The Grapes of Wrath the printing information was carried on the hair. This is still occasionally cited by "Young Earth" creationists.My brother's GRE scores were pretty much indistinguishable from perfect pitch.When I read Vonnegut's work, it makes me happy to be sleeping next to New Orleans should they sustain a direct hit from this thing. If there's any chance whatsoever that you're bipolar, you should probably be added to the surgery, talk to your head. Mmmmmmaybe. I'd heard a humorous phrase regarding statuatory rape laws. Think about what you just read, then go for it.
now maybe the world will acknowledge my genius.
If by "acknowledge" you mean "roll its eyes at claims of," I think you're all set. ;)

Admit it. This was an actual comment of yours.
...and yet another friggin happy (belated) birthday to q. anyone want to administer the birthday spankings?
*polishes Hello Kitty ruler*
*polishes fish*
*shines*
Ooh, shiny!
IT'S THAT INFERNAL DAY AGAIN. HAPPY QDAY.
Wow! A very happy Qday to you.
You mean we're going to have to celebrate this every bloody year? It's like Talk Like a Pirate Day or Merry Zombiemass or something.
Why doesn't Hallmark just make a damn card?
