Self explanitory

  • Heh, yeah, it is self expanitory, but not the way you think it is.
  • Don't mean to be a jerk, but I think you meant this
  • Not that it matters, but I've apparently come down with Dick Cheney syndrome... that link s/b .org, not .com. However, it looks like it points to the same site... my bad.
  • Heh. They've all got their clothes on. I guess it's the US election, then.
  • Ok, you need to learn to spell, and how to make a hyperlink, but other than that, never post again.
  • never post again WTF?
  • "On election day, 2000, more than 27 million young Americans did not vote. An even larger number did not have sex. Never again." Hee. Aristophanes would like this. Keep posting J801496.
  • Ok, you need to learn to spell, and how to make a hyperlink, but other than that, never post again. That was a bit out of line.
  • Umm, I thought it was hilarious, given that he was joking. I hope J8 realises this, and feels welcome here (because he is).
  • Nostril's joke is beyond obvious. It's so obvious that any who acted like they didn't get it must obviously be joking themselves.
  • Knickerbocker's comment is obviously also a joke.
  • HA HA! "rocket88", indeed! Jesus, you guys crack me up.
  • Ok, we need to learn how to recognize a joke, and how to make a funny joke, but other than that, never post again.
  • Come to think of it, this was the best joke ever. Now let us never speak of it again.
  • So we're agreed then! Everyone here is fucking useless.
  • What I love about shawnj are his enormous testicles. Particularly the fact he keeps them separate from his body, in a jar of formaldehyde, in a totally different State. This, to me, is pure genius. He can also lay a carpet extremely quickly, via osmosis, prompting one to remark something about getting laid quickly, or carpet, depending on circumstance. P.S. I am very rarely serious.
  • "Come to think of it..." Which I do!
  • Never riposte again.
  • /weeps
  • This is why we can't have nice things.
  • Never say "Never again" again?
  • Ah. The dark mother brings such dreams. Murmur.
  • Post forever!
  • I'd just like to point out that I am being entirely serious. That is all.
  • Isn't this how daisy_may started. Ominous music ensues.
  • If it wasn't for the fact that I can detach them, I would have cut 'em off long ago. (I know you're rarely serious. I just thought that it was a bit out of character for you, to be that harsh.)
  • Plus, I'm sure it's a repost... first time it didn't get much of a reaction, afair...
  • Out of character for me to be harsh? Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! That's the one thing I am always criticised for.
  • You sick fucks.
  • el_hombre, I've had a crush on her (markie post) for twenty years. It's even older than my alyssa milano crush. But I think alyssa would win in a pillow fight. Hmm... maybe not.
  • never post again WTF? Rocket, Nostril . . Nostril, Rocket. We now return you to your regularly scheduled votergasms.
  • To be that harsh, not to be harsh in general.
  • OH LOOKEE!
  • A quick profile check will show that this was J801496's first FPP. Now whether it was a joke* or not, "never post again" is a harsh welcome on comment #5. And I know Nostril well enough to know he would never crap on anyone for no reason, which just adds to my confusion. * Can someone explain what makes it a joke, and why it should be obvious? Is it a common 'in-joke' within the blogging community, 'cause I've never seen it before here, and I don't frequent many other community blogs.
  • Nostril's a cranky bastard. That's the joke.
  • "what makes a joke funny," courtesy of the good students of Temasek Junior College. sample: I think the person telling it is impt too. And how the audience relate to the content. You cannot go to kindergarten and start spouting off sexual jokes. They'll probably stare at you and think you're a nutcase. Tell them about Pokemon jokes and they'll laugh with you. so, in conclusion, always go with pokemon jokes.
  • and come out, J801496! have a nanner and tall glass of cockpunch
  • ...and then he said, "Pikachu, I choose you!" *polite laughter, everyone leaves* J8, just ignore Nostril - everyone else does. He's our curmudgeon. And welcome! It is actually a cool link.
  • But, trac, we have to have SOME standards! Cryptic description on a messed-up link (of a site I've personally seen all over...) Not deserving of total banning, but j8, that's STRIKE ONE.
  • STRIKE?!?!? What are you, blind? That was outside by a mile!
  • we're back to the red sox again? YANKEES STILL SUCK
  • *climbs the monkeyfilter goalposts, cuts down the nets* WhoooOOOO!! SOX!!! And rocket, it was sort of along the lines of "you sick fucks" (as adroitly pointed out by shinything above.)
  • Oh...well in that case, I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
  • Administrator please hope me get the inside jokes!
  • It's the but other than that, part that makes it a joke. but is the great negater. It mean's take everything I just said and throw out the door, I'm about to say the opposite: . But instead of the opposite, more of the same came out.
  • J801496, don't worry. The linkage goof is really easy to do. I did it once. On an FPP to slashdot. I was lucky. Everybody blamed the editors. Here's how it happens: You spot a cool thing. Shiny! Fragrant! Banana-shaped! Time to share! You write up a post, and include a link. You type in the address by hand like this: <a href="www.shiny-cool-thing.com">Look! Bananas</a> Then, you hit "Post new comment" Did you spot the mistake? Correct! Always hit "Preview" first. Then, and this is important) test the links. Because of pesky things like the HTML standards, the correct link is <a href="http://www.shiny-cool-thing.com">Look! Bananas</a> Otherwise, your browser will send the request here, rather than to the spiffy banana-related site you want to share. It would be easy to make a browser do the obvious "right thing", but it would break the standard. And that route leads to purple bananas that nobody likes.
  • Thanks All for the warm welcome. The link was something I came across while working and I had like 15 seconds to figure this all out. Lesson learned: Always preview. Regardless of the comments, who's planning on voting???
  • Is someone running for office? ;)
  • Already voted. I wear my sticker with pride.
  • I heard a funny joke tonight. It involved somebody being so impressed by a John Cage concert that they downloaded 4'33" as their mobile phone ringtone.
  • Don't let it bother you, E400748x2. I've been playing with two strikes myself here and at MeFi for as long as I can remember, and have become a learned master of the foul tip. But I'd never have the nerve to yell "Who's your daddy?" at the pitcher...
  • I have EIGHT strikes!
  • Nickdanger, where did you get your sticker? I, too, already voted but all I got was a bill at the post office for my supposedly "postage paid" envelope. Damn "if mailed in the United States" clause.
  • flashboy, you just made me laugh outloud and scare my cat :) Much better than the one I heard: Knock, knock Who's there .....
  • J8, just ignore Nostril - everyone else does. Really now?
  • Here in Travis county we have early voting stations where sweet elderly women hand out oval stickers that read "I Voted!" after you vote. No sticker for you absentee types.
  • shawnj perhaps everyone should. At least when he gets in one of those "fuck-you" moods.
  • shawnj, what I said was also a joke. Don't know what was up with Sully in that thread - I just assumed he was planning on taking a break anyway, since he has done before.
  • I feel guilty now - but I was just clarifying (why the date - except I thought it said Jan 26, 2005).
