Does that mean you're awesome? Sometimes I have a hard time telling with these "in ur so-and-so" things.

Looks like the "whine like a little bitch" tag still works.

you are not! just stop it, okay? MOM! Quonsars being all up in our grill again!

Oh I hope metachat never gets rid of the img tag. I love you, img tag.

Q IS IN OUR MECHA, CHANGING HIS POST TITLES?

Doesn't have quite the same ring, but still...

Did a bear really just attack that woman?

nope, thats darth vader! looks like he was a bit too close to the catering table for gentle ben's liking.

Yeah, old video. Not in Star Wars gear, of course. She's seriously just sitting there, looking like she's afraid of something happening just like it did.

That was some really stupid stuff mathowie was doing with the URLs (and a lot of it was recently coded too), it sucks that img takes the fall for it.

WORTH REPEATING.

SOMEONE ELSE CHANGED IT BEFORE I CAME ALONG.

That's bizarre. I guess there must have been a good reason, but mostly it was confusing and made quonsar look schizophrenic.

posted by mudpuppie 22 October | 22:04

Wasn't me.

Well, according to him it's temporary. So IMG will live again.

well, i mean it was changed twice - i came back here a few hours after posting and it was proper-cased and all polite-like. then i changed it to the current verbage. maybe someone will change it again!

posted by quonsar 22 October | 23:07

wasn't me.

posted by taz 23 October | 01:07

but now I do sort of feel like changing it again. But I won't.

posted by taz 23 October | 01:08

If I had the power, I'd change it to "IM IN YOUR BABY JEBUS WRITING POEMS WITH UR LUKE SKYWALKER" and then it would all make sense.

posted by mudpuppie 23 October | 01:13

Isn't it obvious that the changes were wrought by cmonkey's evil animated gifs? We have a security situation here, people.

posted by GeckoDundee 23 October | 01:45

It was me. I changed it!!!

And I have no real explanation of why I did it. That's an abuse of power if ever I saw one and a terrible example to set. Consider me flogged and groveling.

posted by seanyboy 23 October | 02:36

Awww.

For the record, seanyboy, from this angle it wasn't an abuse of power. Knowing who did it makes it funny. But it sure as hell was confusing for those of us who saw the initial post title, and then saw it changed without explanation. (And by "those of us," I mean me.) And also, it was hard not to blame quonsar.

That's all it was. A funny joke, perhaps, but really perplexing and sort of quonsar-negative.

But the flogging, it's fun. Let's keep at it...

Hey, where'd the money in my bank account go?

Flog it and move on.

posted by agropyron 23 October | 10:03

Clog it and move on.

Hey, was that you who stopped up my loo at the party!?!!??!
