MetaChat - MeFi Taglines

MetaChat is an informal place for MeFites to touch base and post, discuss and chatter about topics that may not belong on MetaFilter. Questions? Check the FAQ. Please note: This is important.

MeFi Taglines So I coded and ran a python script to grab every tagline ever posted to MeFi...→[More:] however I have nowhere to host the results. It's a pretty fun list, and pretty damn large too. I crawled MeFi, AskMe, and MeTa. So, who wants it? Or should I put it in the wiki?

you better link to it.

Yes.

Can you do the same thing to grab every instance of someone doing the MetaFilter: Its all about the cocks meme? Or the I'm in ur..... meme?

Because alot of those are really pretty funny.

And how big is big? You might want to drop Matt a note to see if he wants to host it somewhere.

the point of this post is: i dont have anywhere to host it. throw me an email at dan ferrante at gmail. i'm still crawling MeTa as I type.

the Metafilter troll alone is 200k, but my script automagically linkified the taglines for context.

Zip it up and put it on ysi.

Blogger? Convert it to Word & upload it? It would be a PITA to read but it's free and easy. I want to see it too! And you KNOW that all of MeTa is waiting just for this one shining moment.

Or go ahead and MeTa it. Somebody will give you space, no doubt.

heh, a tagline i just saw:
Metafilter: Where you can even learn about your butthole

I want it. And you should put it on the wiki. And link to it from MeTa.

And make a CD of you reading them aloud, so cortex can make a mashup with it.

posted by sciurus 01 December | 10:45

Hell, I'd be happy to host it right now. Hook me up.

Or you could email it to me in a HTML format. (addy in the profile).

I can't help noticing that it's almost 5 hours later and I still don't have this list in my paws.

posted by Wolfdog 01 December | 14:42

publish it in google docs? do they have a size limit?

posted by bDiddy 01 December | 14:43

Convert it to Word & upload it?

one does not convert things to word. especially web things. you need to get out more. :-)
