Best Post Demonstrating Redeeming Social Value of Livejournal:

Best Weird Resource:
Tufa's Collier Taxonomy Post

Best Place for a Bar-b-que:
plep's Evolution of the American Front Porch
"If porches were capable of offering what they used to offer -- peaceful places to sit and talk to family and neighbors -- people would gladly pay for them. But front porches become unpleasant as traffic increases, roads are widened at the expense of front lawns, and neighborhoods change from families you have known for years and seen on the walks every day to anonymous people who waddle straight from their front doors to their cars and back."

Also, I can't find the post now because MeFi is down, but for that bar-b-que on plep's porch, check out seanyboy's (fairly) recent post in AskMe about grilling - there was some pretty interesting information in the "Everything you know about grilling is wrong" reply.

Finally, for the sound track to the bar-b-que on plep's porch, check out dhruva's FPP on Chutney music - perfect summer fun-in-the-sun while-possibly-wearing-a-funny-hat-and-drinking-festive-beverages music.

OK, I think you are going to need to mirror these as well as identifying them, so that we can at least have a fucking look!

Weelllll.... Lets call it an interesting comment. Its the one that stayed with me after I left the page. Plus many of the comments were inline images or links or other things that wouldn't translate well to a short blurb like that.

Plus, once you know that its Q who made the comment, it suddenly makes more sense.

Oh anastasiav, you make me swoon, you really do.

Hah! I have to say that pracowity's comment in the scattered leaves post was hilarious. I missed it earlier.
