Best of the Web What is it about that site that keeps us going away?
  • /JRun jokes
  • Now we know! The J in Jrun stands for Jerry Junior!!! But seriously, MetaChat is nothing new to most of us here... however, they have started their own version of Blogstop that quickly got into pr0n AND supercalifragilism really fast.
  • What a stupid post.
  • I think it may also be a double. Hasn't metachat been linked a few times?
  • I like the bunny.
  • Remember kids Drinking and posting don't mix. Knowing is half the battle.
  • Knowing is half the battle bottle.
  • For the love of god, stop the madness. This post should be an olympic ice skater, 'cause it sure is pulling one hell of a quadruple something.
  • M.A.D.P. (Monkeys Against Drunk Posting)
  • Okay, This time I get to be MayorCurley and quidnunc has to be y2karl.
  • Oh, dear.
  • Can we please cease with the pointless discussions of Mefi?
  • Can we please cease with the pointless discussions of Mefi? Yeah, everyone knows that's what #mofirc is for.
  • God Damn It. A few bad apples really don't spoil the bunch, but a few shitty monkeys can really stink up the place. LOSE THE INFERIORITY COMPLEX
  • Going away? Or just coming back for more? Meh. Everything's good. Click, glide on through the puddles, stop for a while somewhere and savour some delights then alt-tab and click off into another realm. Gliding is the key.
  • Go away!
  • Glide away. I like it, peacay.
  • Who do I backcharge for wasted time?
  • But we're all still here, checking out the thread.
  • Why was this fpp posted? I did not need to be reminded of the definition of vacuous.
  • We're here because we care. But this was the lamest post ever.
  • Why does this post appear under the deleted items and on the front page at the same time?
  • i'd hang out here more if i could make this horridly pukey font family and size go away. of course, that might not be a good thing.
  • We're here! We're lame! Get used to us!
  • Celebrate the lameness.
  • Hasn't metachat been linked a few times? Yeah... and I caught guff for posting it the first time
  • q-man ... user profile ---> style ---> changee
  • LarryC, it's been eeked but to hide it from the front page, I need ssh access. And for some reason the ssh access is currently down. (For the record, I'm trying to contact the hosting co. about it now.)
  • quonsar - wow, I would have never suspected that font size and whatever would scare you. You can change that appearance in your profile - see the "style" dropdown. I, for one, would like to see you hang out more here, but am not sure that you'll find what you like from a font perspective. There was a flurry of different style sheets a while back , but we're easily distracted, so the selection isn't wide ranging. On the other hand, I'd love to see a quonsar style, so if you wanted to propose one to tracicle, I'm sure it would be added. And I just realized that Wolof offered the same advice in a much more succinct manner.
  • Personally ... I say, that we skin and eat him. Call me crazy.
  • Every time somebody posts one of these MetaWank posts I'm going to say; I love Metafilter so much I just peed my pants. That is all.
  • Taz designed a new stylesheet a while back that I'm hoping we'll be able to implement, but right now the holdup is with contacting the artist whose artwork she wanted to use. It's a little bit Mefi, a little bit MeChat, but monkeyfied. But yes, we've not had any new stylesheets in a while. Gyan did a big batch a while back, which I'm personally fond of. (I use the Dark Monkey theme.)
  • Actually, I lied. The design I think we liked at the time was this one. I should read better.
  • I still thing the "fi" should be ligatured. How about a design compo? We can beat Metachat's and Viewropa's cool-factor, I'm sure.
  • George - I don't know if we can - those are both taz's :)
  • wow, I would have never suspected that font size and whatever would scare you. it doesn't scare me. i can't stand looking at verdana. it's too big. this 'bare bones' style isn't too bad, though something in a nice tahoma 9 point would be cool :-)
  • I'm planning my own stylesheet. All comic sans, all the time. I figure that'll bring the ladies around.
  • ...but yes, we have no verdana, we have no verdana to-dayyyyyy!
  • A word from the somewhat visually impaired here. I really like that second new look, trac.However, *begs and beseeches* please don't make fonts any smaller. /grasps magnify glass and departs for other fonts.
  • You know you can increase text size in your browser, right?
  • I can increase my sex size using my browser? Neato.
  • "quonsar - wow, I would have never suspected that font size and whatever would scare you." I think he meant that he was suprised that you would be so idiotic as to not know how to change them if they bothered you. And if he didn't mean that, I do. Maybe you didn't read the RFC?
  • Does my font size make you randy baby?! Does it?! Yeee-heh-heeahhhh! . . . and I'm spent.
  • My font is getting ьіgger just by reading this. *quivers with excitement* Tahoma, not bad.
  • Maybe you didn't read the RFC? I hear it's le must for these modern types!
  • i think kmellis blew a seal. or is that ice cream?
  • Hey dudes, like you can leave the vendetta on the other board.
  • I would like to fuck metafilter in the ass then leave it naked and drugged up on the side of the highway without pants. Seriously, I didn't even click the link. Is this hippy drubk psoting again? That's my territory, buster.
  • A vedetta? Ooh, fun. *sits back to watch with a fresh bucket of poo at side*
  • Isn't that a kind of scooter?
  • No, no - a vedetta is a female italian film star. The scooter is a Vesta.
  • Surely you're mistaken! A vesta is an Italian waistcoat. The scooter is a Lambada.
  • I have prepared a cursive css file, which on my system displays Comic Sans (I have no idea what it does on a Mac). I've uploaded it to http://gammelost.com/misc/cursive.css, and I'll inform Tracy of it, too. Mr Tool's dream might just become reality.
  • I think you'll find that the Italian waistcoat is a zendavesta, and a Lambada is a kind of Greek kebab.
  • I would like pictures of Chyren fucking Metafilter up the ass.
  • You sick fuck.
  • The forbidden snack is Lambada.
  • I beg to differ! A zendavesta is a Nicaraguan waistcoat, of course, and the scooter is a Scree.
  • No, no...scree is Newfoundland hooch...the scooter is a Vulva.
  • Close, very close. A Vulva is a Nordic automobile, while the scooter is a Putang. You'll recognize it from the music videos of the Pu-Tang Clan.
  • Is this where I come to discuss anal leakage?
  • Right here in my bucket, Hawthorne. I'm just sitting here amazed at such creativity flowing forth from what was supposed to be a vendetta. *vulcanised in shock position.
  • Deary me, goetter! You've obviously confused pontoon with Valvo
  • I thought Valvo was an engine additive, and punani was the forbidden snack.
  • What a stupid post. Indeed. Did I win? I mean, I know this isn't a MeFi post, but I had hoped for some spectacularly negative feedback. I guess I didn't try hard enough. Monkeys are too determined to have fun. Bunch of party poop flingers. ) ) ) all around.
  • Jerry, if you were trying to win some pointless contest, why did you post it here and not over on MetaChat where they're actually conducting the contest? Next time, pay the five bucks and spare us your shilling for a win. Keep the bananas.
  • You hoped for negative feedback? What you'd probably have ended up with would be bannination. Why do I get the feeling you're just seeing how much rope we'll hand you to hang yourself with?
  • Rope is at a premium. I'm not sure we should offer him any more. Jerry, why is it that each time you seem to be heading toward being an ok community member you find a way to fuck up? You see, this latest stunt brings me back to my suspicions that the whole cat saga was lies. I think we're nice people here, who try to be supportive. Does that create some sort of imp in your makeup that wants to play us for fools? If so, you ought to find some other venue to practice in since you just seem really lame to me. Ok, ok, I'm sorry for doing this in the thread, but not really sorry.
  • Why do I get the feeling you're just seeing how much rope we'll hand you to hang yourself with? Only you know, tracicle. I am an up and down kind of guy. I keep trying and some times I succeed. This post was a poor try for wendell's crown of thge worst post ever. But not really. Sorta. I would never jerk you around, though. And my first record happens to be... I might just make a Curious George FPP asking what everybodies first rock'n'roll record was. Or Pop record, whatever. Sorry for airing out.
  • Shaun Cassidy. "Da Doo Ron Ron". Yyyeaup. *snif* Soooooo - howz everybody doin' tonight?!
  • Can't seem to get drunk.
  • My first 45 (remember those?) was "Painted Ladies" by Ian Thomas. My first LP was "The Grand Illusion" by Styx. *passes Chy a shot of Glenlivet*
  • Can't seem to get drunk. Fortunately for me, I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of you.
  • Drunk now. Thanks to monkeys and dogs and ducks. AThanks Belch.
  • Can't get drunk, chy? Two words: whiskey enema.
  • "Two words: whiskey enema." NannyFilter: be careful. it's easy to absorb a fatal amount of alcohol into bloodstream in a short period of time. do some web research before trying this.
  • I always look online before I stick new things up my ass.
  • That's a tagline! MonkeyFilter: I always look online before I stick new things up my ass.
  • my God this is stupid. I know I should be prepared by now but my dear sweet Lord this is stupid WARNING: contains the "n-word" and ridiculous, overwrought, self-righteous-to-a-staggering-degree responses to use of the N-word ps I only went there to see why ads were suddenly on Mefi post comment pages very prominently. No answer was forthcoming
  • Yay! Trainwreckapalooza! they were obviously jealous of our mooshy thread - although his 'you never drop the n-bomb with your friends' comment is bizarre
  • That's one of the funniest trainwrecks they've had in a while.
  • Don't give the plot away! I have to wait until I'm home to see it.
  • Bwah! Hah!
  • And this is way too ironic not to be funny.
  • Has he left us for them? < /jealous >
  • MonkeyFilter: Yay! Trainwreckapalooza! *seethes with jealousy that Wendell found that tagline.
  • And this is way too ironic not to be funny. gaping modem can take a fucking hike. Quid's just trolling for a girlfriend.
