Specklet's famous! Let's all bask in her fame!

*strips, lounges, dons sunglasses, finds fingers crawling with critters*

I'm on her contacts list.
*beams proudly*

She should put her (.Y.) pic back up.

Too cool.

Excellent!

now that she's famous we could do that and cause a scandal. She'll hold a press conference and say 'I was young...I needed the money...'

I don't think I made my excitement quite clear enough.

TOO COOL.

Get off Specklet. Run away. Don't let them trap you in their self-aggrandizing nepotistic boing-boing ways.

specklet --> metachat --> everlasting blort (madam jujujive) --> presurfer --> boing boing.

If this gets back to metafilter, then ... wow.

posted by seanyboy 10 August | 08:35

heh! congrats, speck!

I was the only person to comment in specklet's original thread. Do I win a cupie doll?

posted by getoffmylawn 10 August | 08:47

Woooooooo Specklet!

posted by cmonkey 10 August | 09:02

I want to be Specklet when I grow up.

posted by essexjan 10 August | 09:11

Yaaaaay Specklet!!

*is also one of Specklet's contacts. Sits up a little straighter in chair*

posted by gaspode 10 August | 09:44

Hee!

I got to work this morning and checked my Flickr account and it said I had eight new messages and a whole slew of new comments, and it said I had 16,000 views. I thought something had gone haywire with my account!

I'd better enjoy my fifteen mintues of internet fame...

Oh dear, sorry, getoffmylawn, I'm afraid the kewpie has to go to mudpuppie and essexjan, who helped me out so much in the original post...

posted by Specklet 10 August | 10:54

so goml will have to settle for the Aerosmith mirror or the novelty comb.

posted by jonmc 10 August | 11:51

YAY! Go Specklet go!

posted by tr33hggr 10 August | 12:09

I'll take the novelty comb, thanks. I really wanted one of those half dead goldfish in a bag though.

posted by getoffmylawn 10 August | 12:12

I added a bunch more! Folks are sending me all kinds of cute tiny things.

posted by Specklet 10 August | 12:19

Okay, I saw the words "Specklet" and "Boing Boing," and I totally thought this was going to be about something else.

Hmph.

posted by Wolfdog 10 August | 12:23

But Wolfie, loooook! I thanked you personally and publically.

And now I will whuffle you until you smile.

posted by Specklet 10 August | 12:44

AND! It's number one, sweetie.

posted by Specklet 10 August | 12:46

[mollified]

posted by Wolfdog 10 August | 12:52

I'm not on her 'can view popular-interesting' list.
*sulks childishly*

posted by danostuporstar 10 August | 13:07

What? I haven't excluded anyone from anything, it's all "public".

*whuffles Wolfdog's ear once more for good measure*

posted by Specklet 10 August | 13:17

*watches as Specklet goes through the cycles of fame in an accelerated manner, waits for the embarassing drunken downfall and the uplifting sober comeback*

posted by mudpuppie 10 August | 13:29

The popular-interesting page seems to be purely for self-exploration. I can't even view danostuporstar's when I'm logged in as IIHAA, and he's family!

posted by danostuporstar 10 August | 13:41

Oh damn, I'm not on Specklet's contact list. My brush with fame is so very fleeting.

posted by cmonkey 10 August | 14:21

If this gets back to metafilter, then ... wow.

(I'm assuming based on thread title, since Jrun is down 'n' out, but it's safe bet.)

posted by danostuporstar 10 August | 14:33

Me too, cmonkey. *sob*

posted by agropyron 10 August | 15:50

cmonkey, I added you. (I don't know why you weren't a contact!)

And agro, you've been on my contact list for at least a couple months! Look again!

posted by Specklet 10 August | 16:48

Heh heh, Alan put me on MeFi!

posted by Specklet 10 August | 16:53

Wait, that's not Alan! Silly Specklet.

posted by Specklet 10 August | 17:05

And so, on the 10th of August 2006, a circle of cuteness was completed on the internet and the marking of the prophesy was complete. In Patagonia a child was born and on it's back the birthmark; a tiny monkey perched on the finger of God. A month later the salt in the Dead Sea transmuted into sugar. The time was at hand. Monks all over the world donned pink robes. The wait was over,

WOO HOO I AM FAMOUS! Thank you retroactively, Sparklebottom!

posted by agropyron 10 August | 17:47

Heh heh, Alan put me on MeFi!

Dammit, I am not alan!

posted by dersins 10 August | 18:05

I know, I know! *winces* Sorry!

agro: my email seems to be very slow in being sent, so call if you need to get ahold of me.

posted by Specklet 10 August | 18:07

I want to try and get my set up on cuteoverload, so could I maybe ask y'all to write and tell 'em it should be posted! Pleeeease?

posted by Specklet 10 August | 18:08

Hooray for Specklet!

*can i be one of your contacts, too?*
*please?*

posted by redvixen 10 August | 18:54

Well of course!
