I dunno which is turning me on more in that thread, the Zelda SNES or the naked chick that has it draped all over her.

Uhm, just how many masturbating animal gifs do you have, loquacious?

Also, "risk" really takes the internet far too seriously.

Of course I missed it until it was nuked. Waaaaah!

BTW cmonkey, your jack-russel-licking-jam question was the only one I posted to Yahoo that was deleted before I got tired of the whole thing. You win the internets!!11

Also:

Naked Zelda Chick, will you marry me and let me play with your SNES? KTHXBI!

weretable, I must confess to plagiarizing it from a Something Awful Weekend Web forum post they found.

Wait, someone who posted a question about complying with US tax regulations is accusing everyone else of mindless conformity to the system?

Why can I not find the Naked Zelda Chick, this is upsetting me!

Oh sorry, wrong thread.

I just dug out my cd-r of animated gifs. By god the next time a thread like that pops up, I am ready.

fenriq...

Can someone explain to me why bigmusic was compelled to post an entire script from a play in the thread? It really annoyed the hell out of me. And yes, I did write him an email about it.

Maybe that was the point.

weretable, you just ascended to Godhood! Oh my, I'm quite glad I got to see that! Yeah, baby! Wierd that it didn't load up for me before because I do remember the treadmill gif below it.

He was looking at me.

Now he's looking at you.

Yeah, the gifs are fine but I can't handle all that text.

The (MeCha) FPP is spot on: This is why I love MeFi.

I thought it was a poor troll and I can't believe everyone jumped on it. I love good snark and animated gifs but only when it is truly called for.

(OMG I might get called out peeing on everyone's parade now!)

Did NO ONE photoshop a "MetaFilter: Communist Weblog" icon? I'd do it but I'm at work.

Well, all I have is MS Paint here at work, but here it is:

fenriq,

Those "play-length" posts are the reason Matt gave us navigation keys. Nothing like a quick '.' to skip past all that nonsense. Well, classic nonsense.

fenriq,

I love emails too. If I find a play appropriate for every post will you email me each time I do it?

I love emails from real people =)

bigmusic, this one's for you:

1. You can mix alcohol drinks with Cialis Soft Tabs without any undesired effects.
2.Cialis Soft Tabs does not make you feel dizzy or make vision blurred, so you can easily drive a car or operate heavy machinery.
3.Cialis soft tabs works much faster than any known ED treatment solution. Cialis Soft Tabs enters the bloodstream directly instead of going through the stomach, thus you need only 15 minutes till you feel the effect. Just look at the graph below

oh man, I forgot about those nav keys.

bigmusic,

The thing with posting a full script from a play is that no one will read it. All people will do is skip ahead. Its a waste of space and time. Sure, its arguable that the thread was DOA but people actually look at gif's, they actually look at pictures but I don't think anyone actually sat and read through the entire play, or even the first paragraph.

If your point is to post something poignant then you'd be far better served by posting a relevant excerpt that applies to the FPP at hand. But if your point is to just fill up space with words and space (since the formatting was set to quadruple space) then you're on the right track. But the right track in this case is really annoying. And no, I won't email you but I will continue to flag them as noise.

graventy, wait a second, I can press one button and skip an entire comment? When did this happen? I must have worn out three keyboards trying to get through some of EB's more, um, verbose responses. I need to find out more about this key nav system!

Am I the only MetaFilter affiliated person who thinks that risk's entire "War on MetaFilter" (including his comments downthread) was nothing more than a fairly successful stunt to bring attention to his faux-opinionated blog? And he has been laughing his 26-year-old ass off at our incredible ability to be manipulated by a third-rate trolling?

And if people are going to be banned for self-linking, why does Matt leave the offending self-link in the deleted (but still accessible) post? Does not the offender still get some good Google love from the MeFi link?

Yeah posting those plays was friggin' annoying.

That said, since this website 'declared war' on us, don't we have every right to mess with them back?

You're not the only one, wendell. And I think mathowie did something so any clicking through doesn't register (I could be wrong) with search engines.

Yep, he confirmed that in the MeTa thread...

wendell, as I wrote above I too think it was a pretty poor trolling attempt that turned out to be incredibly successful.
