I Broke Down and Read Metafilter Today... [More:] for pretty much the first time, and I liked it.

*guzzles Kool-Aid*

Woooooooooooooooooo!

And what flavor Kool-Aid? I had Strawberry Kiwi the other day and it was so good. Next I'm gonna make Orange.

I bought a packet of 'Clear' raspberry flavor kool-aid a few weeks ago. I'm not sure what the point of that is- 'Ha! You thought you were drinking water, didn't you foolish mortal!! MWAHAHAHA!'

*sigh*

I went back to the Ted Haggard thread this morning, expecting it to have devolved entirely into a series of jokes about how long the thread was, but people are still arguing vehemently about issues of religious doctrine.

I love Mefi. OK, not always but it is my daily read, for sure.

You've never read Metafilter? Seriously? How do you know about this place? Why would you want to come here?

Watch out Metafilter, here comes LT.

Yeah! Why! The nerve.

I could be wrong about this, but I think he was a friend of matildaben's and he started chatting with her on #metachat, and then he met some bunnies, decided we were a bit of alright, and then he registered here.

Or maybe I just made that up.

SO LT, when are you going to join the uber-hip over at MetaFilter? (your words, not mine :P )

I tried to read Metafilter, but it broke down.

I think ico has the LT/matildaben story correct.

I love Mefi. I would be seriously depressed if it ever leaves the tubes.

The LT Story - by Lipstick Thespian, Mrs. Grover's Home Room, Sunnyside Elementary School:

I came to Metachat because of Matildaben, yes. I resisted at first. Oh yes, how I resisted, childrens. But lil' Mats kept whisperin', "you should read it. It's good - you should post..."

Oh, then there was IRC, and Mudpuppie. They say your first one's free.

But Metafilter? No way. "NOT I!", I screamed, as rumors of snarking and flameouts and "we're cooler/smarter/faster/we can rebuild you" came from the Blue, and the Green....

But now I live with Miko, who, like 'Mats has whispered.."it's good, you should read it, you should post...post...post..."

I was weak, childrens. I'm all alone in this apartment and today I sought shelter away from you. And...and...It was okay! *sob, holds up candle*

There were posts about the election, and about hunting shot made from the seasoning you'd fill your game with, and it was entertaining and bizarre. *sniffle*

I think I need to sit down.

I love MeFi but we need a good flameout, its been too long. I was hoping Boo_radley would deliver the other day but nope.

I love MeFi. Metachat only exists because MeFi was down just about every morning (and into the afternoon) for Europeans back when JRUN was having its wanton way with the site while Matt was sleeping.

Dodgy and I thought that maybe we'd get a high figure of 20 or 30 Metatalk hardcore types who were also up when the site was down and also suffering withdrawal pangs who might want to chatter randomly, flat-thread style.

Loving MeFi doesn't mean you don't sometimes roll your eyes and groan and occasionally stab at your monitor with specially sharpened knives you keep by your keyboard for this specific purpose... but when it's good it can be very, very good - and it's almost always interesting, even when it's only in a petri-dish kind of way.
