The Greatest Comment of the Past Ten 15 Minutes - In just one comment, I got the pseudo-self-link; replying to the argument forty comments ago; and the Nazi reference. In other words, I think I'm sooo funny. If you don't find me funny, the thread has potential for the ever-amusing-mefi-meltdown.

frecklefaerie, you are so going to burn. I used the word "linky" last week and TWO, yes two Mefites wrote me about it. Way rude!

(i can't wait to see the responses to it tho--it should be good)

posted by amberglow 11 July | 01:09

arse_hat, you remind me that I so need to make an mp3 of this. A friend just gave me some space on his server, too...

Damn you to hell, frecklefaerie. Now I'll never get Luther Campell's voice out of my head.

Hahahahahahah! frecklefaerie wins!

Damned espirit d'escalier, heya moderators? Could you add the word "so" before the first "funny?" Thanks in advance.

My favorite line is, "But you say I’m a dog when I leave you blogged and deserted"

Margaritas make me loquacious.

posted by frecklefaerie 11 July | 01:37

Seriously. I've just posted like 10 rants to craigslist.

posted by frecklefaerie 11 July | 01:38

frecklefaerie is loquacious's sock puppet?

posted by arse_hat 11 July | 01:38

or is it the other way round?

posted by arse_hat 11 July | 01:39

Actually, that thread is the scheduled MeFi meltdown, as there is currently not a meltdown thread available on the front page, which is against regulations, I think.

That would be awesome if loquacious made me margaritas. Let this be an open invite to any mechatter or mefite who would like to make me frozen drinks.

Wait, you were talking about sock puppets. How could I be loquacious? I am much more entertaining than loquacious.

This one was headed for a trainwreck but we got it rerailed. Jon, if you're out there, c'mon back. I wanna coast and just read for a while.

Thanks, mods, btw. That's my middle finger next to my smile. :)

I want the fighting on Meta to stop. How can you people go on like this? You are rich, privileged, westerners and you need to focus on the important things! Think of the children!

Those sad eyed little Iraqi children who are asking for, and hoping for, nothing more than a decent meal and to see their families again.

I will not let them out of the barn to find either unless you all stop the fighting!

Damn. I do love me some derails. But I got to sleep. Night all.

Damn it to hell, you sauced sous-chefs. I was wondering why my ears were burning hotter than a hooker's labia at the Republican National Convention. More entertaining? What the... am I supposed to be some sort of clown here for your amusement?

Margaritas put freckles on my chest. Or extrasupernumerary nipples. I can't really tell. They itch ever so much, whatever they are. I look like a nursing armadillo.

Besides, I'm not much of a margarita-maker or drinker, unless you're talking about Patron on the rocks with some salt on the rim and a splash of juice - but good tequila is for sipping, anyway. Heathens.

Now go get me a fresh vodka martini or I'll release the hounds.

Pardon me, if you will.

*cleans loquacious' face tenderly with a soft, clean fresh-smelling washcloth; brings him a soft, clean fresh-smelling, icy vodka martini*

posted by taz 11 July | 02:57

taz, you brownnoser.

Okay, that's enough of a derail here. Can we get back to talking about how awesome I am?

posted by frecklefaerie 11 July | 03:01

I spent all of yesterday cleaning my apartment, and now the seeds of slovenliness have already begun.

I did not realize this was bukkake party. I left my oyster basket at home. Hello nurse. *nurses martini*

posted by loquacious 11 July | 08:50

I'll make you a margarita.

My margaritas are cocktails. Not frozen drinks. They are also quite strong. They'll put freckles on your ass.

posted by Hugh Janus 11 July | 12:57

Wow, a version of Red House I've never heard before. Thanks, C_E!

here's a derail to e-rail your f-rail for ya:

--when that line in that movie came out, it was pretty much hell for me, and so always makes me cringe a little, even before it was used by roving gangs of underaged youth (black, white and other) with plans of gang rape and other violence.
And it never dies, happily recurring with every new audience. It is part of the culture, the part that thinks it's just an absurb type of funny and the part that thinks it's just ok and the part that let Dennis Miller go on about how he didn't know any asians and who does? so he could say whatever he likes (sometime in the early '90's).
It's probably always going to bug me somewhat, but the last thing I'm going to do is draw attention to it, because it's not going to change anything that way.
I don't have a problem with engrish or a lot of other things but that's because they are generally well meaning and no one ever threatened me with violence using pocky. And I think that goes for a lot of females of evident asian descent. We have to deal with a whole alien brand of social abuse and random fetishism that a lot people don't have to think about.
So there, have a couple coppers for your trouble.
