Ouch, quit poking me. Damn, I'm feeling the full the weight of that there popular opprobrium today. Anyone else feeling that opprobrium?

I think I need a fuzzy bunny or something.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown. That is all.

Unfunny is the new funny.

This comment is decidedly unfunny, therefore it is funny. Wait. Does that make it unfunny? *falls into a fugue, shambles off*

That thread makes no sense to me, by the way. It's like Esperanto - the words are similar, the structure is similar, but the meaning just ain't there.

This girl behind me just said "We need to boat race." Either that, or "You have a goat face."

hey, I commented in the meta thread, but just to say, you seem like a good guy who I would like to have a beer with - I for one am not projecting the original comment out any further.

I like beer.

What a pointlessly stupid thread.

Anyway, fuzzy bunnies.

The last ones are taking a holiday somewhere fun, fyi btw.

I mean the metatalk thread is pointlessly stupid, of course.

posted by cmonkey 07 December | 22:27

we know what you meant, you foot-wide shit-smeared asshole you!

posted by quonsar 07 December | 22:35

that wasn't funny at all quonsar.

jerk.

posted by quonsar 07 December | 22:37

Is there any metatalk thread (other than meetup threads) that is NOT pointlessly stupid?

posted by matildaben 07 December | 22:39

Flameout threads are pretty great.

posted by cmonkey 07 December | 22:42

OK then, they are either
[a] meetup thread
[b] pointlessly stupid
[c] batshitinsane

posted by matildaben 07 December | 23:00

[d] user points out problem, mathowie fixes it and closes the thread before any real jokes can get going.

I hate those threads.

MeTa is inherently stupid; that's why it's so entertaining. The [b]s and [c]s, anyway.

Paging ikkyu2...

posted by interrobang 07 December | 23:50

Heh.

I had always assumed that ikkyu2 only played a "doctor" on the Internet and in real life was a lab tech or mental patient or something where he was exposed to a lot of medical information and jargon, which, combined with good search engine skills, made him sound reasonably convincing as an MD.... So I'm very surprised to find out he apparently is actually a licensed MD.

Hey, the comment was proof enough, ikkyu2 ;-)

You know, I saw this as a bit out of character for you, but then on reconsideration I mapped it into an episode of ER, say with Weaver vs. Romano in a deathmatch, maybe with a dialog polish from Quentin Tarantino a la Crimson Tide. Having a pillow-soft bedside manner probably means you also have to have an asshole reserve, just in case you have to work with assholes.

That thread will give me nightmares.

posted by SassHat 08 December | 01:32

I got no bunnies. I'll buy you a beer at a meetup though. As a sysadmin, my job is taking care of computers. I fancy that it is a very dim echo of the stress that MDs get. As such, you are alright in my book.

I've always enjoyed your very knowledgeable comments. I very consciously limited the number of people I linked to on my Mefi profile, and always for a comment I particularly appreciated. You're one of the people I linked to.

I was a bit uncomfortable about long-distance speculation of Tom Cruise, and I thought the dress-down with latin a bit over the top.

But I've also always believed that being very good -- which your give every appearance of being -- justifies some arrogance.

I just thought of it as an episode of House, M.D.

ikkyu2-I was so sorry about that thread.

posted by omiewise 08 December | 09:10

Aw... but it shows every sign of turning into a lovefest. And that's rare.
