I, for one, welcome our new Monkeyfilter overlords.
Well, user #1 sure seems to be drooling...
And, hey, who's this mefi user?
Our combination of wendellness and foxiness is unstoppable!
by "man," of course, I meant Wendell or squidranch. But, hey, you know, that Matt guy is pretty cool, I guess.
klausness - that is monkeybashi.
Wendell, livin' large.
Wendell, livin' large.
You're killing me.
That's some funny shit, and it's almost real.
It's classy all right. Very nice.
"Geez, MoFi is such a girlzone."

"ach ooo tee?"
Is monkeyfilter really all about girls? I need to know.
Uh-oh.
I felt more than a little self-conscious, having gained 40+ pounds since the previous MeetUp AND having most of my upper teeth literally in the shop for repairs, resulting in that mysterious Mona Lisa cringe. But I was made very welcome by everyone EXCEPT the New York Jets Fans in Exile who otherwise dominated the atmosphere at Barney's Beanery on a Sunday Afternoon.
To steal a line from "Airplane", I definately picked the wrong week to give up sex...
They're sucking up to us, looking for our soft underbelly. Everyone on guard now.
BlueHorse, we're nothing BUT soft underbelly.

Damn right, shoot the general in the head while he's looking the other way! Fast while he's smiling! We can win!

JG, you can't dodge the Secret Service forever.
Crap, I'm finally realising that I'm not getting new-user email notification. I wonder how long that's been going on for.
And yay! Noticed by the big kids! I feel giddy. :)
Who is that extraordinarily attractive brunette girl with the feline eyes and excessively ky00t nose?
/heartflutter
looking for monkey lerve, Nostril'? oh dear...
Can you feel the love? ))))
why, Nostril, you gentleman, that describes all three of the female MoFi'ers!
(green shirt = Cali, pink Monkey shirt = Space Kitty, white shirt w/orange jacket & (previously noted) cute glasses = mandyman)
/joins in fluttering...
Oh. So it is all about girls, then?
Well.
*votes for Bush*
Yah, Nostril's comment was great. As it happens, though, it's obvious that each of the women there are gorgeous! (Can't really say for the guys
...you can't dodge the Secret Service forever.
Maybe, W, but they've got your picture now. Heh.
And see how disorganized intelligence is around here?...

It's like shooting five fresh fish in a barrel, man, it's like troutfishing in shallow water. I'm gonna pin it all on you and more 'cause I can and I disagree. And then I'm takin' off for Tora Bora. Here they got some good climbing there...
Oh man, kmellis that would be great. The women in my family are not known for being able to pop babies out easily. Do you have breeder hips?
And for those who want a pair, my oh so sexy glasses came from Lenscrafters. They were ready in about an hour, yo.
Thanks for the shoutout... which of you was trying to meet up for music? I never heard from ya. Drop me a line and I'll mail you a disc.
And all the ladies are ridiculously toothsome.
although Cali is drop-dead gorgeous
Um . . .you know, you are right. That's not just empty flattery!
Do you have breeder hips?
Don't I wish. How come it is that women can go over to the fertility clinic or something and have a baby without the direct assistance of a man, but we men have no such option for having children? I went to my 11-year old cousin's class presentation (on England) today and there were all these adorable children there and I was like, dammit, why is it again that I don't have any kids? *grumble*
My cousin Samantha was great, but there was this one little girl who was a real know-it-all that totally charmed me (natch). Most of the kids couldn't even tell you where England was on a map, but this one little girl was telling everyone about Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour (both correctly by name), as well as details of cricket bats; and, after a different presentation, similar details about China and its history. I suspect she annoyed the other kids.
(By the way, the teacher thought that China's currency was the "yen" until a couple of insistent students made it clear to her the difference between "yuan" and "yen", and she was also initially very skeptical that the London Bridge is now in Arizona. In both cases, to her credit, she allowed herself to be corrected.)
forksclovetofu, it was me who tried to meetup with you. We e-mailed a couple of times, but it never worked out and I moved in June. I had contacted you via your blog (I was one of the "fuck" cd reviewers), not in my mandyman guise.
homina homina homina ...
I think I just stepped on my jaw ...
"homina homina homina"
Is that one of them there fancy "add hominam" arguments we keep hearing about? Or is this something I'd need to know Latin to understand. Because I don't understand Latin.
Hey...how many Vancouver monkeys are there? if you guys bring delicious bananas, I'll wear my glasses.
Wait! Does that mean mathowie has a MoFi account? Quick! Get him to post something so I can call him a troll and run him off!
/juskiddin'
Let us not overlook the studly squidranch. Maybe it's just my indirectly related interest in a certain SpongeBob SquarePants character, but the way squidranch looks in this photo makes me want to wallow in ink.
Very cool---looks like a good time was had by all. Wendell, 'twas nice to finally "meet" you finally via the pix.
And Space Monkey---shouldn't you be like a supermodel or something?
/fans self
The question is:
would you rather make fun of Mefi on Mofi, or drool over Mofi on Mefi?
I think we've won.
The implications of this boggle the mind. We are a community on the internets, and the ladies like to hang with us.
Even when we make penis jokes. I don't understand that.
Quick, shut off the new user signups before they ALL want to come over!

I don't think they're hanging with us. I think we're hanging with them.
We are a community on the internets, and the ladies like to hang with us.
Well, isn't our user #1 one a lady? We are the trophies my freind, and it is a good life.
You mean this is a chick site?
Now it all makes sense...the lavender decor...the kittens...the cockpunching!
For those playing at home:
Compelling discussions = Rehashed, partisan psychodrama with the occassional expert getting drowned out by trolls.
The loveliness of Mefi
Seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Fark
Is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Kuro5hin
I'm going home to the bloggie where I play
I left my heart in Monkeyfilter
On my desktop, it calls to me
Where apes and Bees on monkey bars
weave poetry to the stars!
Cranky howls may chill the air, I don't care.
I love it there in Monkeyfilter
Above the socks of greenish-pea
When I come home to you, Monkeyfilter,
Your baboon butts will shine for me!
Paging Tony Bennett to the thread, Tony Bennett, you are needed at the thread, please...

May I add my very late agreement that space kitty, Cali et al. are all very lovely ladies indeed. And squidranch looks like an actor I had fifteen different crushes on in the last fifteen years - Ron Perlman.
FedoraUndershirt - I am very flattered, thank you. Though now I feel narcissistic, having put a picture of myself up as the only thing on flikr (so far - mofi pics are coming). The reason was that, after years of experimenting with internet anonymity, I thought it might be good if people could see who I was and that I'm real (warts, glasses and all). I would be happy if we did create a gallery of mofi people, all who are willing. Wolof's daughter is currently winning cutest :)
Though I have to mention, in small and mostly in jest, it's jb, lowercase, dammit! I want to be one of the cool lowercase kids!
Gosh, I didn't even check this thread thinkin' that it would be all about the ladies. And why shouldn't it. They (cali, space kitty and mandyman) are hawt. But after reading it I realized I got some nice complements too. Thanks Alnedra and PY. Here's another photo of me in all my squiddyness.
mct: They like hanging out with the tres charming Wenell, you mean.
Closing registrations now might be a bit late; some of us MeFi's have been here a long time.
And not just for the girls.
For the record mandyman, I am straight. That means you sleep with girls, right?
y6y6y6 is a crank, a fuddy duddy and a party poper. He shares a duplex trash can with Oscar the Grouch on Poppyseed Avenue (a half-block from Sesame Street). He has tried to do things to "improve" the MetaCommunity that most of the rest of us didn't really want. He tried to come up from San Diego for the previous MeFi MeetUp... I'm kinda relieved he didn't make it. But he's not as INYOURFACE with his opinions as some of the MetaFucks, so he's not so bad.
And, because he tends to ignore "chatty" discussions, it's unlikely he'll ever read what I've written about him here. :)
poper?!? POOPER.
Well, he does sometimes act like the Pope...
For the record mandyman, I am straight.
See, squiddly, I told you you've been living in West Hollywood too long...
Oh, you men and your fake lesbian fantasies. Tell me this, squid: is it straight to "shower" your pet?
Back to the important stuff--when do I get my date with mathowie? He's got a nice geek asthetic going on in his picture, I like that in a man.
Er, yes mandyman. You want to start a flame war here?
Is "flaming" straight?
1) zing!
2) zing!!!
3) isn't he... married?
Ah well, if a guy can't be metrosexual without bringing out homophobia in this group, then so be it. If you like I will be queer.
Err.. is there a comment missing in this zing-fest, or am I just a fucking idiot?
...and for a day or two I thought our little meetup was the red-headed stepchild of London - The Sequel.
Note to self: research sexy librarian costume for next meetup.
From snarky link on Meta by mandyman. Perhaps I read too much into it, but the shower the pet thing, kinda unnecessary unless she want's to start something.
I am completely and wholeheartedly confused.
I liked those jb pictures even better, thanks for letting us oogle your girlfriend, Dreadnought.
This was such a cool little thread. Exactly how and why did the wheels come off all of a sudden?
I think it's when people stopped talking about the trio of hot monkey ladies, and transferred over to squidrach's sexuality...just a guess, though.
BTW, anyone around Austin interested in meeting up somewhere, some time?
For the record mandyman, I am straight. That means you sleep with girls, right?
BTW, the "you" in the statement above meant I was refering to myself, as in "that means that one sleeps with women" or "that means a guy sleeps with women", not "that means that mandyman sleeps with women", ok?
I think that's what might have gotten this off on the wrong footing. That, and the snark I linked to above.
There now. We all happy monkey's now?
I'm off to suck some cock now.
And if I feel like it, pee on a cat.
Hello!
You had my sympathy until you described yourself as metrosexual, squidranch. Now you must die, lest you take up a fauxhawk.
Dare I ask what a fauxhawk is?
I DARE!
ew.
Mandy, who knew you were one of the fuckers! God bless! Look me up next time you in th' city and I'll drop fascination.
Jokes, they're all jokes from me. Sorry about that. I mean not about almost meeting you forks, that part was for real. And yes, I am one of the fuckers. No need to look any further than this thread for evidence.
Squid, you made me laugh when you did the queer declaration. And somehow it made sense since Barney's has a past history of homophobia. There used to be a sign hanging in the place. And can I just say that I can't tell when squidranch is fucking with me? He's a mysterious one, that rancher.
Can we put the wheels back on this bad boy and see if it rolls?
And damn it, can Wendell get that coke he ordered already?
My god, we really are a coffee klatch.
Now, where are my allergy meds?
I can understand the confusion. But you do understand that it was not an impuning of you.
Peace and love to you Mandy. And I hope you hook up with a tasty geek of your choice.
*looks around*
Now to find me a geekete.
MonkeyFilter: I'm off to suck some cock now.
MCT, regarding your question How many words in the English language start with "esch"? Very few, but in German "Escher" which is my last name.
Fuck! I've really blown (pun intended) my cover now.
From the MetaTalk thread in question...
If you didn't get your standard issue "actual living, breathing female" substitute when you signed up for your MeFi account, I'd demand a refund from Matt. At once. Because you're really missing out.
I was under the impression that a MeFi account was an "actual living, breathing female" substitute in and of itself.
of course, i'm no one to talk; i was goofing around on MoFi for about three hours yesterday because i didn't want to go home in between jobs.
MonkeyFilter: I'm off to suck some cock now.
Hear! Hear!
hah!!
Amazing -- even our flame wars resolve themselves quickly and amicably. Cockpunch for everyone!
And like the man said, pay y6 no mind. He's all about the snark.
That was a flame war?
This thread is so gay. Flaming? Cocksucking? Cockpunch? Gay! Gay! Gay!
Yeah. It was that bastard y6. I think.
It was all y6, all the time. Even back in the jungle. Even in the desert. And yes, even in your backyard!
And what were you doing? Paving his way, welcoming him with open arms and tax cuts and work programs and unionized ham factories. You make me sick.
And when y6 comes for all the cute glasses-wearing-women, don't forget for a second who opened the door!
My name is Nickdanger, and I approved this message.
Dick smokin', cock punchin' and Judy Garland singing show tunes, this is a homo thread!!!
Whoops, I pissed on Toto.
Alright, fine, I admit it.
y6 is teh hawt.
Squidranch, did you know about Barney's homophobic past? Space Kitty mentioned something, but didn't go into details. A friend later told me about the "no faggots" sign that hung in the place for a long time.
Nickdanger totally wants that y6 person. Look at him crumble.
What's the second job, bone? I know you are a teacher during the day. (Unless I remember wrong)
Make sure you pay tax on that, moneyjane.
And someone say something rude about the Mayor, or his persecution complex will collapse!
i Note to self: research sexy librarian costume for next meetup.
E-mail me, Cali. Better yet, wake me so I don't egregiously nap thru the next meetup.
I can't say something rude about Mayor Curley, what with my secret crush and all.
The mayor is cranky because his mom switched the Jiff to generic in his pb sandwich.
How's that?
I want to have sex with each and every one of you.
MeFi#1 is all about the gay.
I thought it was because she switched his Band-Aids to generic adhesive bandages, which he's obviously not stuck on, 'cuz they don't stick on him.
*cries*
For a variety of reasons, none articulate, nor articulable, just.
*cries*
(Late, but:) Thanks squid, I wondered WTF was going on.
I just can't understand you fucking heteros sometimes, what with all your talk about making babies and loving the Pope and not having five-way ass-bangs with a construction worker, a policeman, a Native American and a cowboy. GET A LIFE, BREEDERS.
I leave for two fucking days and look what happens - mofi simultaneously draws a Haughey-prop (and concomitant party-poper ire) and goes completely gay. Somehow, I can't help but think these are coincidental.
Also: Thanks much for the shoutout! mandyman is lava-hot, which is to say: how you doin', dollface?
*leers, slowly and carefully adjusts tie, doesn't care if mandyman's gay or not*
*A Modest Proposal from a man with a nearly unbroken record of staunch heterosexuality: how about the occasional provocative pose accompanying shoutouts!*
Can't we get the Pope in on those five-way ass-bangs?
Actual Karol Wojtyla was the original seventh member of the Village People, but he was replaced by the Cop - due to the fact that he can't dance. He did co-write YMCA though (he added the "C").
Not a lot of people know that.
I believe his assless chaps still remain in the Vatican archives, next to Augustine's g-string.
Yeah Mandyman, I did hear about the sign above the bar. As a matter of fact, I gave Space Kitty the low down about it while we were outside having a cigarette. Supposedly Barneys kept it there as a gag because the person who wrote it mispelled "faggots stay out" as "fagots stay out". The sign came from an eary antihomosexual protest in front of Barney's back in the 40's. Barneys only took it down under pressure about 10 years ago.
how about the occasional provocative pose accompanying shoutouts? A nice demure start, thanks Cali!
Over on MeTa, Space Coyote totally has the hots for Space Kitty. Maybe some day they'll have a Space Litter.
Very few, but in German "Escher" which is my last name.
Ah, a fellow drunk Monkey of German descent! I've got Schroeders and Schlobohms in mine.
Holy crap!
One lunar eclipse and the world goes mad! At any rate, it looks like everyone's kissed & made up, so this may be a good time to point out, yeah, I'm single too....
And also - Space Litter. Hee!
So all you women are only here to meet guys?
(Not that there's anything wrong with that)
*Wishes he was in L.A.*
See? That's the real point of Monkeyfilter. Ask tracicle.
tracicle already has two guys, and maybe a third on the way. Which could be a girl, of course.
So where's my guy?!? *thumps table*
People, let's all (actually) settle down here!
The next LA meet up is at Musso and Franks. The martinis there have guaranteed aphrodisiac properties. Each monkey will be prescribed two of them and after that if you don't get into each other's pants, then there isn't much more that can be done.
Alnedra, we’ll give you two weeks notice so you can check on some cheap plane flights.
Peace and love and drunken martini monkey sex to all.
*chickens out*
Thank you squid, I'll settle for a picture of you and a shoutout :)
That Alnedra, she's all banana and no monkey.
rocket88: I can't say I joined MoFi looking for a date. But hell, when they start cat-calling me in cyberspace...what can I say? Flattery will get you somewhere.
On the other hand, real life cat-calling provokes a slightly different reaction.
Ah, mandyman, you make my heart flutter with your beauty and your wit. And the glasses are cool.
*Gives 'the look' in general direction of Southern California*
*Gets the unsettling feeling that somebody's giving me 'the look'. Blames Canada.*
*bats eyes at Wendell*
*swings bat at kmellis*
Be careful with that bat, Wendell. Kmellis is carrying my child!
...which explains why I'm so hungry. Must. Get. Green Chile. Cheeseburger. NOW.
If that's the way you want it, Space Kitty is carying my grudge! (And if you ever saw the inside of my car, you'd know my attitude about Space Litter.)
No! Kmellis, look out for that curb-...ooo, ouch. Sorry, mandyman, I think he just dropped your child.
And my water didn't even break.
That Alnedra, she's all banana and no monkey.
*Having just ingested 4 pounds of bananas in one week, has to agree*
*has the best pregnancy craving ever, eats another banana*
*rubs tracicle's belly for good luck, ducks*
And thus, a new internet fetish was born.
Promise me, no eels.
*hides eels, removes garter belt*
Of course.
We already know what squidranch would do to the eels.
I kid!
Squidranch, have you seen any of those street signs outlawing silly string around Hollywood? I kinda want to steal one. But I won't.
If you want, I'll nab you one after halloween/b> so as to not arouse the suspicions of the local gendarmes. I have liberated a number of cool signs, my favorite being a shipping and recieving sign painted in the 1950s from Fredricks of Hollywood. I shall never part with it.
weird, that worked on preview.
If you get the urge and are in no risk of arrest, then by all means liberate one for me. But, like, don't get arrest and stuff, k? The walls are painfully blank in ye olde apartmente and it'd add some character.
That Frederick's sign sounds cool, by the way. There's a joke about receiving packages at Frederick's rear entrance in there, but it's friday and my brain isn't up to it.
Not a code geek, are ya?
Re: code geek. I am not.
I'll try to get you one before they are taken down the next day. If not, then you'll just have to keep those Brittany Spears posters up for just a while longer.
Dude, it's Britney. It says so right here on my wall. And in my diary.
Mandyman, looks like it's just you and me on this tired old thread. I got an email from space kitty about trying Musso's in the near future and I suggested next week sometime. They are closed Mondays. Perhaps we can hit it later in the week after Tuesday night. I will be busy calling swing states for the Kerry campaign. Besides, after Tuesday we will either have a reason to celebrate big time or cry into our martinis.
kmellis made me cry with his green chile cheeseburger comment.
Oh, my penitente land, I hear your call.
I just wanted to let squiddly and the mander know that I can see all your private messages here and have forwarded them to the Department of Homepage Security.
And if I can't make it for the next meetup,I'm sending quonsar in my place. But don't worry, mathowie got him fixed while he was upating the server. (If you can't get that link, blame DNS)
Wendell, you know you are invited as well. I will post on the front page when we can all agree upon a specific time. What works for you?
