  • Crap on a cracker!! . . . Point of order tho - that was on a Saturday. Now seriously *who* would post on a Saturday?? well, forks would, obviously but that's not the point. And don't call me Shirley.
  • Welcome to DoublePostFilter, where today we will be selling banana cases out of our deer-killing hole, while wearing wedding dresses we bought on e-bay and discussing a great new blog site known to the kids as "MetaFilter." You know, I think I'm going to post a Curious George about people who double post.
  • this is just getting silly.
  • Who would have thought we'd have exhausted the internet so soon?
  • OK, pete_best, penance: one secret.
  • oh, and instead, here's another "world's only": the world's only feminist science fiction convention, WisCon!
  • Hey, I found this great site where you can look stuff up! And I heard there's a site where you can find out who's in movies -- I'll get back to you on that...
  • you know the spate of double-postage is proof positive of the singularity. Pack your bomb shelters now. I wonder what it would be like to only see posts that were not linked anywhere at all . . . Actually I was surprised that this was a DP mostly because it's *so* old and I haven't revisited it in probably 3 years or so. It hasn't changed a bit. A secret? Okay - George W. Bush wants to lead us to Armageddon to speed the appearance Judgment Day. No seriously he's a re-grmph! . . . ack! >NO CARRIER
  • Whoa. Hey. Guys, this is, like, totally a double post. I mean, jeeze.

  • MonkeyFilter: Who would have thought we'd have exhausted the internet so soon?
  • Some ancient pre-history for benefit of monkey posterity: Once upon a time, back before there were any style choices in the default box on the Profile pages of monkeys, Goatse came, and there ensued a vast outcry in the firmament of MoFi. And then Double Posts and Self-Linkers also wandered into MoFi. And Bashi saw that this was not good. But, and this may seem strange, there were no Eeks at that time. Things simply got Removed, never to return. Whossshhht! and they were gone. I guess we'll never know now what was the first Double Post, or who the first Self-Linker. I don't think there were a great number, all in all. Such Removals, however, left some gaping holes in the Collective Memory/archives. Our archives could have ended up like a lace doily had matters so continued. We would have had collective Alzheimers, so to speak. But they did not, because Bashi is wise, and Bashi declined to Remove any more. And so, from at least May 7, 2004, the Eeked posts of MoFi as we now know them came into being. And from that time on, matter which had hitherto been liable to Removal was now Eeked.
  • I'm trying to think of a joke regarding the "gaping holes" left when Bashi removed goatse posts, but I'm only drawing blanks. Anyone else want to take a shot?
  • This thread kicks big-time ass.
