Doomed. But I want popcorn.
How many taco lovers does it take to pop a bowl of Orville?

I'll have some tacos and popcorn. Here's some beer.

Yeah -- that thread's life expectancy will be short.

Just got deleted at 10:38 p.m. Lived for 26 minutes. Meta thread may get interesting.

Damn, I was hoping to get some new jokes before the gate slammed shut.

Remain seated please. Bring me some tacos and a whore.

I hit "post" on my comment right as it was deleted. This is what it said:

"A racist walks into a bar. The rabbi, black man and Irish priest beat the shit out of him."

Now that jessamyn's got super-duper priviledges, these threads get closed almost twice as fast. (Nothin but love for you, jess')

(hands out tacos to all.)

I liked the 'Why did the racist cross the road?' response. sasshat's is pretty good too :-)

I was going to find/post this shaggy dog joke I read a while back but I had not found it yet and the thread died. The joke goes on and on about a black guy walking into a bar with some African art and then brings in a Jewish guy and as it continues it sounds more and more like it is going to be really racist but then it goes nowhere with a nonsensical punchline. Oh well.
I love that my comment was deleted before the thread was killed. And no, I did not post a racist joke, just an unfunny poke at Meatbomb.

sorry guys - I checked into MeTa just before I was headed to bed and it just couldn't stay. I'm not sure what MBs deal is. How can you misspell racist twice?
posted by jessamyn 26 July | 22:08
I guess I shouldn't post a meatbomb-themed version of the Aristocrats to the MeTa thread, huh?
Actually, you should, weretable. You really should.
posted by BoringPostcards 26 July | 22:48
I dunno about the misspelling. Seems like he was conflating "racist" with "fascist", intentionally or not. I'm sad the thread got deleted, but I understand the need to avoid the inevitable trainwreck. Personally, I was really looking forward to hearing some jokes that would make a Klan member gasp. My inlaws have been known to tell mildly racist jokes, and I'd love to have some truly horrible ones in my pocket to send back at them. Just so I could watch their heads ass-plode.

Yeah, ugh. I don't want to see them here either... Really not.

Sorry, if I'd known you were going to post that Sasshat, I'd've waited to flag and MeTa it. It was just so really wrong and trollish and race-baiting. So wrong I didn't even notice the spelling errors.
posted by theora55 26 July | 22:59
Also, I may be totally wrong, but I kind of suspected that the post was constructed as a jab in the "you can ask anything you want on AskMe as long as you phrase it to suit the admins" war.
posted by taz 26 July | 23:00
taz: i assumed the same thing. I thought it was a middle finger to MeFi, with a thin layer of plausible deniability around it.

I didn't think there would be much in the way of actual racist jokes. I was hoping for more animated gifs.

Just caught up on the Meta thread. Oh my, that Meatbomb has quite the posting history at MetaFilter" tattooed swastikas, Hindu mail-order brides and using racist jokes in the recruiting of "right-thinking people for my church."

Methinks he likes to "play/game" MetaFilter.

You know the joke about Americana?

Yeah, you can't say it without at least one of them threatening to sue you.

Oh please post that somewhere. Those kinds of non-jokes are the best.

A salesman is sitting in the reception area of a big corporation, waiting to give a presentation to some of the people there. He is kept waiting almost 40 minutes beyond the time of his appointment, and then he's finally ushered into a conference room. He goes in, and sitting around a big table are two Jews, an African-American woman, and a gay guy of Chinese descent. The salesman goes into his pitch, for software or a phone system or something, and it's pretty evident a couple minutes into it that these four people couldn't care less, especially the younger Jew, who keeps checking his BlackBerry. But he plows through the presentation anyway, and when he finishes, everybody shakes his hand and thanks him. He goes out to his car and starts to drive home. On the road, his cell phone rings and he answers it. It's his wife, and she asks him to pick up a couple of groceries on his way home. He says OK. She says, are you OK? And he says, yeah, I'm fine. She says OK. He hangs up, and this commercial for anti-itch powder comes on the radio, and it's got all these country-sounding old people giving testimonials about how this powder completely improved the quality of their lives. And the salesman starts crying. Big choked sobs. He shades his eyes with his left hand so that the other drivers can't see that he's crying and says, "And I don't even fucking care about this shit!"

The above is from here. I'm sure I've posted it here before--I try to force it on everyone I know. weretable's joke reminded me of it.

If you've attended the last couple of New York meetups, you'll know that whatever else he may be Meatbomb is sincere and authentic.

Jessamyn, you keep ragging me out on the spelling, sheesh. I already feel terrible about it, and I sincerely apologized to you about it in the Meta thread.

We are all part of the same community Jessamyn, I am here reading your stuff, so please could you stop talking about me and "my deal" in the third person? I am trying to remember what terrible thing I have done to you to get on your shit list.

Maybe you just need a bonghit? Headlock and a noogie? Hug? Gonch pull? Foot massage? Tell me what you need, I am there for you.
posted by Meatbomb 27 July | 19:37
Hi Meatbomb, my apologies for not seeing this til now. You're not on my shitlist at all you just caused an admin headache for me on MeFi which took a lot of time to set straight. Your intent? I doubt it, but it was something that needed attention and time nonetheless.

I'm not sure what a gonch is but most of what you offered might help what's ailing me lately.
posted by jessamyn 29 July | 17:48
I thought I knew what a gonch was, but the phrase 'gonch pull' makes me doubt myself.
