  • Metafilter sucks.
  • We're talking about MetaFilter again. We seem to do this a lot....
  • And this is a FPP because.........
  • where time becomes a loop
  • Hey, we're the best of the web.
  • We should charge them $5 to come over here and read that...
  • Suggestion For Response to Monkeyfilter on Metafilter FPPs... Metafilter sucks! Metafilter's OK! Metafilter rules! Pick one, get it tattooed on your forehead, take a photo, put it in our Flick'r album. Then we'll all know, for all time, your opinion on Monkeyfilter. It'll be really convenient for times like these.
  • >:|
  • It's because we're cooler than they are.
  • too funny... they sound like the Grinch. "the thread was deleted, but they're still posting... it's almost as if they enjoy talking to each other!"
  • The deleted posts are my favorites. It's fun to respond to something that no longer exists.
  • MetaFilter: I paid Matt $5 and all I got was to talk about lousy Monkeys : )
  • It's because we're cooler than they are. No, we're not. Just like they aren't smarter/more sophisticated. They are just larger, and have developed a different community culture - the monkeyfilter culture is somewhat lighter and sillier, also less tolerant of cruel snark (I don't like cruel snark). I think it's the lavender. I like both. I know more people here though, because the names are easier to keep straight.
  • And...it is deleted. It really did belong in metatalk. It might have been an interesting discussion in comparative community relations there. Or maybe not, if certain snarkers showed up.
  • jb: heh, I was just kidding. I know we're not better, just different. And, uh, I hate the lavender. I use an alternate stylesheet. :)
  • your opinion on Monkeyfilter. Now that would have made waaaay more sense if I had typed "Metafilter" as planned, instead of Monkeyfilter, no?
  • It was nice of COBRA! to throw me a shoutie. Thanks, dude!
  • heh...I knew everyone would complain about this... it would be only right now, since the metafilter post was deleted, to delete this post as well... There will be this little, tiny "poof"... And, then, we can all say "Something happened, I know it did, I was there, but now it is all gone and I can't remember what it was." and live the rest of our lives with this little half hour void that we'll never be able to explain.
  • My whole life is a series of little half-hour voids that I'm never able to explain.
  • punctuated by the occasional tiny "poof".
  • I hate to have to point this out, but the last time we linked to MeFi, the servers here went down. I know Tracicle blamed the ever-broad-shouldered #2, but we all know where the real blame lies. Don't let's do this again.
  • I actually had a half hour void once. I'll never do it again, the toilet wouldn't flush for a week.. /I had no idea I could write something that was so juvenile...darn...
  • Rule number one: no occasional tiny poofs.
  • You big poofter, you!
  • This reminds of last night's episode of Dr. Who.
  • He's on first.
  • And then the priest said, "THAT'S not a DUCK!!"
  • HuronBob, I thought that was funny! But then again, I like Benny Hill as well.
  • I actually had a half hour void once. I'll never do it again, the toilet wouldn't flush for a week. ROFLMAO
  • Just when I was ready with the 'oh, for fuck's sake not THIS again' everybody came through & totally cracked me up. I joined for the bananas, but I stayed for the silly!
  • You know, if it wasn't for links like this, I wouldn't even go to MeFi anymore. I don't miss it.
  • Ooops. I spoke too soon. I <3 "o".
  • It was nice of COBRA! to throw me a shoutie. Thanks, dude! posted by Fes at 06:49PM UTC on May 25, 2005 Oh, no, thank you and the FesMeisters.
  • Did you hear about the five cows living in a two bedroom apartment? There wasn't enough room so they had to moove.
  • heh.
  • What's so lame about that thread over at that other community website is that no one even TRIED to step up to the next level and put together a team of their own. The Wingoettes are just too intimidating, I guess.
  • I think the infinite cat project is starting to feel a bit threatened...
  • Recursion is not my friend. *holds self, rocks*
  • one word... hasselhof
  • Happy Birthday, Koko. Oh, on topic... Metafilter...
  • hasselhof don't even go there!
  • Happy birthday surlyboi!! Has it been a good one? Metafilter!1
  • Deleted posts are where all the fun is at. I say we move all the deleted posts to the front page.
  • I'm all about the tiny poofs filling my voids. Also, Scrabble is an enjoyable pasttime.
  • As a programmer by trade I personally do not find this kind of recursion funny.
  • Rainy. The first time it's rained on my birthday in 10 years. Other than that, not too bad. Got 25 cupcakes last night. Good lunch with a good friend today, saw Glengarry Glen Ross after that and now I'm preparing to watch Lost with some friends and a bottle of 42 Below. I'm getting taken out to dinner tomorrow night by an ex and Friday's gonna be a big party. Oh, and I've taken the rest of the week off, so work doesn't interfere with my alcoholic haze.
  • Happy Birthdays Koko & Surlyboi. Enjoy your free meals and the rest of your lives.
  • What's a Nubian?
  • Harpy Boyd Daze, Koko & Surlyboi!
  • What's a Nubian? Bitch, you almost made me laugh!
  • Wow, ooga_, that first link is ... something else!
  • Fes, you are now immortal: MonkeyFilter: My whole life is a series of little half-hour voids that I'm never able to explain ... punctuated by the occasional tiny "poof". MonkeyFilter:Metafilter sucks! Metafilter's OK! Metafilter rules! Pick one, get it tattooed on your forehead Moneyjane, you wouldn't want to eliminate these wunnerful MetaFilter wallowings, would you? Besides, several Monkeys would have to have all three slogans put on, and that would be confusing to all of us. These posts are better reading than the boring ones over their. Those Metats don't have a clew when it comes to teh funny.
  • Metafilter seems to be suffering from a case of banana envy.
  • Happy birthdy, surlboi; we'll confound them with our courtesy.
  • Every once in a while those Metas find an excuse to slink over here to sniff and lick some fun. They have to or else they'll die. Seriously.
  • It's like one of those pool features, where you get swept around and around, until you finalally hurl yourself out of it. It's fun. Very much like this.
  • ...and that means nothing unless you know we are having a surprise party for YOU tomorrow. /thanks
  • we'll confound them with our courtesy. Yeah, we're like Canada that way...
  • C'mon, don't fight! You're both pretty! (Although one of you is far more anal retentive & combative.... and smug... and bluish....)
  • THIS IS A FUCKING STUPID POST. TRACY SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY REPLACED AS CHANCELLOR OF THE MOFI SENATE. ONLY I, SENATOR QUIDNUNC, CAN CRUSH THE MENACE OF GENERAL HURONBOB AND HIS ARMY OF PETE_BEST CLONES. Care to the taupe side? We're looking for a whiny, hate-filled but enthusiastic teenager with no father to join our growing team. Experience essential but limbs not required. Call 1-800-TAUPE-ME for details.
  • Wah! wah! What happened to Lord Chymo??? /sulk /underpants
  • After all, I'm the only one on this godforsaken rock who knows what 'taupe' is.
  • It's just a contingency plan in case you "force choke" yourself, my young apprentice. After all, a good Human Resources strategy is vital to any attempt to crush the galaxy under your iron fist of tyranny.
  • Iron fistula of tyranny.
  • Taupe
  • Taupe
  • Taupe
  • Count Plegmoo, the force is strong with you. You shall rule many threads and star-systems when I have disposed of Princess Tracicle Origami.
  • No...there is...another...
  • Me me meeeeee!!!!1111!!!!twelve!!!
  • I know what taupe is, I just think it's for the dining room walls of Xanax-addled Stormtroopers who are routinely taken in by Ewok ambushes and can't manage to shoot their way out of a 5-meter wide corridor near the Deathstar's waste disposal unit. smirks, uses lightsaber to cut limes
  • uses the Force to get Fes some tequila to go with the limes
  • minda my dear, you are the TRUE princess of the Rebellion, not that fatuous poseur Leia *cuts extra limes, produces second glass as if by magic, beckons minda to a nearby chaise, leers*
  • Anyone figure out how the faucets work in this place?
  • You're the taupe! You're the Colosseum. You're the taupe! You're the Louvre Museum. You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss You're a Bendel bonnet, A Shakespeare's sonnet, You're Mickey Mouse. You're the Nile, You're the Tower of Pisa, You're the smile on the Mona Lisa I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flaupe, But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the taupe!
  • I love sidedish!!! )))))
  • OMG...what have i done? :-\
  • Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
  • Heh! Good one, SideDish!
