God, talk about over-thinking things. A word to the wise, hadjiboy - if you are asking about your MeCha posting habits on AskMe then yes, you are putting way too much thought into things. Just be yourself, say what you say and people will either think you're OK or hate your guts and track you down to beat the crap out of you. Either way, it's all good.

No, wait. One of those isn't good, is it?

posted by dg 17 May | 20:37

Jesus fucking Christ, why is that still up on AskMetafilter? Why did you post that there!? What the fuck? Are you mad?

PLEASE NOW BE RELINQUISHING SAID TCP/IP STACKS OF ALL TYPES AND IMPLEMENTATIONS INCLUDING OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE, VIRTUAL MACHINES AND EMBEDDED CLIENTS. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST.

I'M ON ASK METAFILTER AND I COULD OVERTHINK A HILL OF BEANS

Woah. My last post vanished from that AskMe thread... did I preview and not submit?

Anyway, the second link is is supposed to go to comment linked tothis pic.

By the looks of it, is was deleted.
Apparently it wasn't helpful, even though technically it was. Go yell at jessamyn! :(

Everytime I see a picture of essexjan I am reminded of just how badly I want to see her in a Harry Potter flick. I don't know why. But I want it so bad it hurts.

posted by CitrusFreak12 18 May | 00:27

yeah, I don't get an aunti vibe from her. Maybe if she didn't look so happy, and more admonishing. Like someone I would want to avoid at a dinner party.

On the other hand, I guess there are different kinds of aunties--the ones you don't want to be, and the ones others want. And Aunty aunties.

Never having read Harry Potter or seen one of the movies, I have no idea whether I should be upset or not over what CitrusFreak12 says. But someone at work thinks I look just like a LOTR character named Gimli. Again, never read it, never seen the movies, so don't know whether to be delighted or insulted.

posted by essexjan 18 May | 02:04

jan, I'd vote delighted Harry Potter and insulted LOTR but I'm not an expert in either.

posted by arse_hat 18 May | 02:16

Harry Potter: Delighted; Gimli: Somebody is teasing you.

posted by taz 18 May | 02:25

So where can I buy this poster of essexjan?

posted by Eideteker 18 May | 05:41

Heh, I was thinking the same thing, Eide.

Speaking of bunnies who remind me of (lovable) fictional characters: hadjiboy.

Doohickie, why bring this up 2 weeks later?

posted by danostuporstar 18 May | 07:26

Physically, a comparison to Gimli isn't very flattering. But he also shares loyalty, bravery and huggability with essexjan.

posted by danostuporstar 18 May | 07:36

Wow, dano, that hadjiboy-wilt comparison is spot-on.

posted by Atom Eyes 18 May | 10:00

dano... I happened to be looking at some of my comments on MeFi and noticed ej's post and thought the pic would be funny. That's all.

And +1 on ej being a Harry Potter character. I'm reading the 6th book right now. I'm trying to think if there is a Mrs. Weasley already (very nice character, ej- Harry's best friend's mom).
