17 March 2007

If you could post anything in the Mefi blue right now, what would you post?
I'd probably post some bullshit about an audience participation trend on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, with lots of YouTube links providing evidence.

I realize that probably doesn't make any sense, but you asked.

a picture of my bare ass with a lip print on it. Just because.

or maybe I should have asked "if you had to post something right now, what would it be?"
posted by Hellbient 17 March | 00:47
I just did and it was a double. Dammit! But it is still cool.

Which makes me wonder, what happens if someone favorites a post that gets deleted?

A YouTube link to the video of Benny Hinn clips set to the Benny Hill theme.

Pork products.

I'd post a picture of jonmc's bare ass with a lip print on it. Because I don't have a copy handy, I won't.

[and searching flickr for the tags 'jonmc' 'bare ass' comes up empty]

I would post a link to MetaTalk with a snide remark about how I haven't been reading MetaFilter. Although I did read a weird MetaTalk thread earlier that endWell linked to in EyeAreSea. Good to see people are still flaming out in stellar fashion over there.

fenriq: I believe the post still counts towards their favorites, although I don't think it'll show up in their favorites page.

And I'd post this.

Oh dear God, the humanity.

fenriq, pretty sure the post still shows up as marked favorited in the in the personal counts. IIRC I've both favorited comments and have been favorited in treats that get shut down, yet they still show up in the profile pages

I gave up on the blue months ago, too many posts about stuff in which I have no interest.

And, what mischief said.

I'd post a bunch of links to articles about a certain mega movie star who may have a genetic deformity.

Or pictures of puppies wearing hats.

You guys are quitters.

Perhaps, p&c, but to me, MetaChat doesn't feel like a community anymore.
posted by mischief 17 March | 05:07
Don't you mean MetaFilter, mischief?

I have a couple of things in my back pocket (I had considered posting about the Andy Richter webisodes, and am glad somebody did), but I don't know if I have the nerve to use this one: Shut Up Tape.

Should I?

For the life of me, I was thinking about this very same thing yesterday, but can’t remember what it was about right now.
Something idiotic though.

For those with a taste for the Avantgard, I would post Suspense Dance Delights by GeeNerve on the So Healthy Music label, and Coconut Monkey Rocket and the Martinibomb from the Comfort Stand Recordings label.

David's Bridal new "Dream Your Wedding" thing, where you can dress up cartoon versions of your wedding party in the stuff they sell. I had a ball the other day making up ugly weddings for my sister.

I had wanted to post about the recreation of the London gallery where John and Yoko met--which was run by mdn's uncle, but I thought it would be better to ask her first if it was ok with her if I did and I never got around to it. The exhibit is now closed.

I'm apprehensive about posting anything in the blue. I did find a couple websites and articles that are interesting regarding the coffee cherry. The coffee cherry is the fruit that covers the coffee bean. Workers that pick coffee cherry and handle the cherry have unusually unlined, youthful hands. Dermatologists and the skincare industry have wanted to use the coffee cherry, but it ferments very quickly and is very unstable. Now they've finally found a way to stabilize the coffee cherry extract and it's the next big thing in skin care and cosmetic dermatology. Dermatologists say it's 20 times better than pomengranite, green tea, or any other natural antioxidant out there. Coffee growers will now be able to sell the fruit for profit, instead of just the bean. Scientists have studied the coffee cherry and tumor inhibition with some promising results.

I decided not to post it, because most of it focuses around prevention and treatment of wrinkles, and I thought it wouldn't be well received.

TV-Turnoff week is April 23-29. I've thought about posting a kill your TV post, but I won't.

Good catch, wendell.

Wendell, I like the shut up tape.

Eh . . . in any group of 50,000, there's sure to be somebody out there who won't like a post, who will have some kind of smartass comment to make.

If you're feeling anxious about The Blue, why not do it as a post here on Metachat?

Thanks jason. I might do that. :)

I'd post something about how the new generation of ultrasonic electric toothbrushes is sweeping clean below the gumline, but only for the wealthy, privileged few.

Sue that, motherfuckers.
