Today the Blue baboon mothership is 5.
Happy Birthday Metafilter! Bananas to Matt and Mefi for (too) many hours of informative fun. Thanks for helping make Mofi possible. And thanks to #1 Monkeybashi for bravely picking up the torch.
(And no, I'm not sucking up so I can get a Mefi membership!)
-
If you won't than I will. Metafilter is Great! Let me in! Happy birthday Me-Fites.
-
*sniffs at shinything, Captain; adjusts monocle* okay okay - yay Pre-MoFi!
-
Metafilter. Feh. At least MoFi doesn't crash half the time.
-
Half the time? MoFi doesn't crash, period. Yet another way MoFi has surpassed MeFi. )) All your banana belong to Tracicle! ))
-
mofi is funner!!!
-
actually, today was the very first time I hit the bookmark and it refreshed the page I was on - like MeFi used to do (only MeFi changed the favicon in the tab). It was back in just a minute tho, so perhaps I was having unique browser issues.
-
Monkeyfilter: Not down half of the time.
-
Happy Birthday MeFi!
-
Had it not been for MetaTalk, I'd have never found MoFi, so yay for MeFi and MeTa!
-
Yep, say what you want about MeFi, but we wouldn't be here without them. *Eats hot dog in celebration*
-
dirigibleman, methinks you should be eating pancakes in celebration. from atop a rabbit's head. heh.
-
Yay for gated communities! Yay for exclusion! That may be a bit harsh, but while I understand why membership is limited, I don't agree with it. Yay for monkeys!
-
mofi is funner!!! MoFi is friendlier!!!
-
And ... MoFi is lavender-ier!!!!
-
MoFi is younger, and has a tighter bottom!
-
MeFi:MoFi :: Tom Cruise:Jake Gyllenhaal.
-
Old and busted - the new hotn.... Oh well. Anyway, thanks to Mefi's overlords for the constant stream of ineteresting links.
-
Oh the hostility! I've created a monster, and it's peeing in the punchbowl! /looks around for torch, finds only a can of sterno under the meatballs, flees in terror from Frankenthread
-
/bites dyslexic left hand
-
What the heck? No love for the Blue today. C'mon, monkeys, play nice...
-
*chainsaws off possessed right hand, contemplates contributing to thread, grabs boomstick instead*
-
Yay for Mefi! Now, let's the amicable poo-flingin continue.
-
Happy Birthday to you, Squashed tomatoes and stew, You look like a monkey, And you live in a zoo.
-
f8xmulder: I really only have one problem with MeFi and that is that it crashes more often than not. Beyond that, I'd rather a slightly bigger fish (or monkey) in a small pond, than a single, solitary, teeny-tiny, infinitesimal plankton in an ocean. I've been on slashdot for a while now (under a different name) and it really hasn't done anything for me except raise my blood pressure. So I don't see why MeFi should be any different. Sure I read the site, but usually don't even feel the need to comment anymore.
-
I'm with f8x - is a birthday card really the best place to air your grievences about the blue? Matt did some pioneering work with MeFi, and who knows what MoFi would be without it. I, for one welcome our... (sing it with me, you know the words) Thanks Matt and Tracicle!
-
Cheers to MeFi, best site on the web.
-
I'm with Wolof, although proprietal pride is kicking in just a little. :) Congratulations, Matt, on making something that continues to be innovative and entertaining. We wouldn't be here without you.
-
This article inspiring this quote earns MeFi a special place in my heart. (yhbc *totally* wins)
-
People who want to convince everyone else they don't care about MeFi should stop flinging poo and keep quiet. The poo-flinging is the sure sign of a bitter, unrequieted lover who cares all too much.

mofi is funner!!! MoFi is friendlier!!! And ... MoFi is lavender-ier!!!! Hey, I wasn't doing a slam on the Blue, I just wanted to OOK for the Monkeys! Happy Birthday to Big Brother Metafilter. Matt created something unique and wonderful. I no longer have the desire to join up and comment that I once had, but I read MeFi blue, brown, and green daily. When it's good, it's the Best of the Intarweb.
