Ask MeCha: I... I forgot about this place completely. I was here when you guys first started out. I was here for the horse penis. I was here for the scary rabbit. I even made the carrots for the comments page. But then I left you alone for months and months without a word. It seems like you've been doing just fine without me. You've got a whole new look, and a bunch of new features. My question is this:

Metachat, will you take me back?

It depends.

What did you bring us?

posted by mudpuppie 02 October | 21:56

Josh, I'm glad you're back but we need to talk. There's no easy way to say this so I'm just going to come out and say. Metachat...metachat is pregnant with another man's child.

I brought you candy. And flowers. But I was stuck on a bus for three days riding down to meet you, and I didn't have any money or food. So I ate the candy. And then on the way here it started raining and the flowers were ruined. But I brought you my heart.

Hmm. Jury's out.

You're... you're...It's Jeff, isn't it? That bastard had his eyes on you back in May. The way he leered... it's just not right. He didn't care about you. You know he was just in it for the links. He didn't even care about the banter.

I can forgive, but I can't forget.

But, if we do decide to take you back, how can we be sure you won't deceive us again?

Look, where were you when #metachat was taken over and left a broken, bitter shell of itself? I'll tell you where. You were eating candy and picking flowers! Metachat was alone and scared and Jeff was there to pick up the pieces!

Oh, c'mere you. You know Metachat can't stay mad at you when you make that face.

When I made that face, someone threw shoes at me!

*pouts*

If he promises to NEVER DO IT AGAIN? Are we big enough, strong enough to give the man another chance? I say, yes, yes, we are! We are that big, we are that strong! Collectively we are a mighty force! A mighty force of goodness and strength and of some other stuff! A MIGHTY FORCE OF BUNNIES that no mere mortal can withstand!!!

And if he does it again we'll beat the shit out of him.

PS- so sorry muds, I thought you were making the other face.

A MIGHTY FORCE OF BUNNIES

Aw, that gives me goosebumps.

posted by bunnyfire 02 October | 22:47

As well it should, my friend, as well it should.

posted by puddinghead 02 October | 22:53

I promise. Now I've gotta go find a link to make things like they used to be.

We'll be waiting, Josh. We'll be waiting...

Dear gaawd, puddinghead, that's going to keep me laughing for days.

Wait, there was horse penis? And I missed it?

posted by nickdanger 03 October | 00:02

Yeah, okay. Give him a second chance. I'll be watching. And not just me, but my brothers will be watching. And if my brothers are watching, motherfucker, you better be watching your ass. Cause we are all watching you. Watching. Yeah. We watching. Your ass, is what we be watching. So watch it.

Have you ever noticed how truly weird the word watching is? Like it could totally be wat ching, like some kind of kung fu movie where people go WAT CHING before they like sail across the room and kick somebody's ass bigtime? Or it would be even better in one of those lameass kung fu move spoofs where this monk would like launch himself across the room in that way that was extremely cool in 1992 and yell WAT CHING and then it would make this ding noise so you would know it was funny and he would, like, fall down right before he hit the other guy?

You know?

He was grinning like a lemur, man.

I have my eye on you, josh.

posted by wat ching 03 October | 04:36

This is really funny. Maybe this thread is the silver lining to all that we went through when Josh left us. Left us alone, here in the dark. Alone and afraid through all those cold lonely nights...
I'm getting pissed off again.

All my songs are about Josh.

posted by safetyfork 03 October | 10:09

Can we stab him in the back in 2 weeks or so?

posted by agropyron 03 October | 10:47

And they call us "milksops". Clearly someone hadn't read this thread or they'd be changing their pitiful tune right quick, by golly. Milksops, bah.

posted by puddinghead 03 October | 13:27

i even asked about you after you left
bastard
