Danged Closed MeTa Threads

TJH had a point

I hate it when I come across a great and entertaining MeTa thread and Matt's already shut it down. Moreso when there's a shoutout that includes me and I don't get a chance to shout back.

So I'm gonna shout back here.

Right on, jonmc! So long as I get to do shots and shout alot, I'm all over exclusivity.

And to The Jesse Helms, that "air" you're referring to is stale bong juice and body odor. New members make for new fun. I like the majority of the new folks just fine and some are pretty damned clever (you know, for being noobs and stuff).

yes, my man, but can you pass the entrance exam?

posted by jonmc 02 December | 19:23

matteo, with all due respect: TJH has always struck me a jerk, and MeFi is supposed to the great agora where we hear all voices not some fucking country club.

It's not closed, it's exclusive.

and I don't look a thing like Lou Reed, dammit.

As far as the entrance exam, can we skip the intro stuff and get to the initiation paddlings?

paddlings?

we take a slightly diffrenet approach here

Enema bag? Marry me!

Now, enough of this serious shit. In honor of me completing my 35th year on the planet, I give you my personal theme song, by one of rock and roll's recently dear departed....

on preview: you could never afford me. The bar bills alone would cripple ya.

and in honor of it being friday, two rock and roll classics that I think we can all relate to:

Five O'Clock World - The Vogues

Friday On My Mind - The Easybeats

I don't know why he doesn't just read Mefi while wearing a tophat and monocle, like I do. It makes me feel oh so tony.

Now I'm off to download Five O'Clock World. The husband loves that song. You're one cool old man, jonmc.

I thought you said manacle. Stop me. (Who's Tony? ;-))

jonmc, I will have to imbibe massive quantities of fermented potatoes but hell yeah. I play a mean air geetar and can sneer bad enough to make bunnies cry.

But I'm better at Louie Louie. And my own special version of Take a Walk on the Wildside (but I rarely get that drunk anymore).
