Ask MeCha: I remember seeing an ad for a new CD/DVD burner that could also print a label directly onto the top of the disk. I thought it was an awesome concept, but I can't seem to find info about it anywhere. Anyone (all 12 of you) know anything?
Pentagon vows to probe Saddam photos Officials promise to spare no rod in exposing the root of this bulging controversy.
I've made a Ta-da List for MetaChat. Please let me know if I've left off anything that has been mentioned in previous posts. Also, I think the IE-highlighting bug is in the CSS, which is really messy. I'm going to try to work that out today, so if you see the site suddenly go wonky at all, it'll probably be me trying out a fix.
Everybody puts on their pants one leg at a time. Question is, which leg do you put on first?

Let's Talk about quonsar, dios, and Alex Reynolds some more.
Puppet account roll call: Don't be shy. Admit your puppetude.
Will anyone clean up the Santorum on the Senate floor? Republican Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania said Democrats have abused the filibuster.
"The audacity of some members to stand up and say 'How dare you break this rule,'" Santorum said on the Senate floor Thursday.
"It's the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying, 'I'm in Paris. How dare you invade me. How dare you bomb my city? It's mine.' "
Boxers or briefs? Now we know. The liberal media releases images of Sadaam Hussein in his underwear.
Advantage: no one.
Spankin' clean! I may live to be a

Pirate pride, ninja nay-saying Last week was the beginning of Ninja Respect Month and also Pirate Pride Week, a scheduling conflict that is equivalent to hosting a presidential address the same night as the World Series.
Here's a video of me dancing at my wedding, for those who are interested.

oh, no! oh, no! What happened to
genefilter? I'm bereft!
Quonsar - So he has a reputation as a "metafilter terrorist" and some say he has a "withered, blackened soul". Yet he gave me CSS advice in MeTa once and was helpful via IM. I think he is just misunderstood and needs a hug. Group hug, everyone?
Beer! Is this a good place to post arbitrary self-links when I've been drinking? Because I like drinking, and I like posting, and I like linking myself, and I like the prefix 'meta-' a whole lot. These are some of the things that I like.
Oh, and beer. Man oh man, I like me some
beer.
Site news: Images can no longer be posted to the front page or to comments. Sorry about that, but a whiny minority of fascist mind control freaks complained that they don't want to look at lacerated anuses. Jeesh, grow a thicker skin people.*
* Note for the hard of thinking: I'm being sarcastic.
Three William Shatners. Singing Rocket Man. Very bad.
The Golden Age has passed I remember when MetaChat was cool. I has now been ruined by all the new people.
Good once, now bad Let's make a list of things that used to be good that have become bad.

Security/Privacy Gap I'm getting automated e-mails whenever someone posts a comment to my previous thread--which is nice--but the mail messages are coming in "From" their individual addresses.

Dear buttes, Could you please stop posting the naughty pix? Thanks.
Censorship already? So "Come on over and post about anything you damn well like." didn't really mean what it says?
I can sort of understand the dirty short story (kind of), but what about the lorem ipsum thread?
is there a metachat lofi? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
A krunkified version of the Jackson 5's ABC (mp3) A krunkified version of the Jackson 5's ABC, to bring a little light to this already spooged-on place.
Logo. Agreed re: money shot.
SelfLinkaPalooza. I was wondering, If you could self-link any site onto Metafilter, then which self made site would you post? Go on... embarrass me with the exquisite talent of the metafiltarian.
Feature Request: MeFi Status Indicator As long as this is meant to be kind of a side space for folks when MeFi is down, how about some kind of graphical icon on the main page that represents the current status?
It's good to be square. Maybe this helps with the shakes? They're cute, at least.
AAAAAAAAGH. JRun error. *shakes* *bites nails, chainsmokes, licks the palm for guava*
Oh great, now it's timing out. Poo.
This is a neat idea. Thanks for putting in the time, money and effort into putting this together. At the very least, it will help us figure out whats going on when Metafilter is down!
God, I hate IE so much I really do.
Is Mefi down? It might be....
About the Third of Six. Since it will be the topic
de rigueur for the next few days, let's just get it out there. So if you've seen it, say so. If you've anything to add to
the multitudinous reviews, feel free. If you just want to slag on the franchise as a whole,
you've had plenty of opportunity.
About the page.... There's all sorts of stuff that still needs to be done; as you noticed, the righthand links don't work and the logo isn't linked, etc., plus other little "beauty items" that need to be taken care of. Lot o' stuff; but I couldn't get into the site this morning when I had time to do some of that, and then I've been out all day, but I plan to take care of most of these items tomorrow morning (for you 'muricans, that would be late tonight). In the meantime, somebody give me a beer!
Foolsss YOU
FOOLS!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? Me, not much... I just had some
coffee.
Make this a Metafilter user-defined CSS. Until Matt does his damn redesign.
The New York Times on the Web An excellent site for general news and op-ed pieces. Check it out, friends.
Also,

And
Google. A nice search engine.
Oh, and
MetaTalk, where you can complain about the inconsequential and draw attention to yourself, to get what you deserve (like goths).
Dios Can we premtively ban Dios?
Favicon pony I want a favicon. A little bunny or something.
Wurstteppich . I love Mortadella. C'mon couch potatos lets furnish our house with food.
Helping helpful links The "helpful links" along the right side of the page all point to the same (presumably incorrect) place.

I have not forgotten, in fact I've been checking every day since May 4 to try to sign up for the latest round. Any news?
Huh. Extremely nice job with the CSS! However, goths still suck :(
The bunnies are restless. Metachat officially launches. Post what you like.
