Bumped from Metatalk Tonight the identity of the MO will be revealed. All those present will take a blood oath of secrecy, so if you want to find out who he is, you must attend the meetup.

That's totally unfair.
Tell us NOW! Tell the people who can't be in New York. We're your real friends. Not them. Us. TELL US!

What about people with accurate intuition and deductive reasoning capability?

i so totally want to come, specifically to meet you, ej, but i promised the bf i'd take him up to woodbury common. we'll see how late we get back and how tired we are when we do. :)

ps. this is the only day i can take the bf shopping, and he needs a new jacket because he left his on the train. grr.

How about a verbal blood oath of secrecy? That way people can throw loads of photos on Flickr carefully pointing out the identity of the MO.

Or what if they like, post group pictures carefully pointing out who ISN'T the MO?

posted by muddgirl 26 October | 08:23

What does MO stand for? Is it the dude's initials or an acronym like Male Other or something?

Oh, Oh! Your getting it on with Missouri?

posted by chillmost 26 October | 08:37

Yeah, chewie and I are convinced we totally already know!

posted by rainbaby 26 October | 08:43

Not fair for those of us that would be there if it wasn't for something called geography.

posted by LunaticFringe 26 October | 08:52

I'm coming to the meetup, but I ain't taking no blood oath. This is all getting a little silly, Jan, and if it were anyone else but you, I would have said so long ago.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 26 October | 09:09

That said, if you want to administer a pastrami sandwich oath, I might consider it!

Unfortunately, the Concorde is already booked or de-commissioned or something so I don't think I will be able to make it. ;) This is why we need sub-orbital space flights!

Have fun! I am very jealous you had Mexican food by the way.

I just checked and it woudl cost me $1200 to make it there. And I'd need a room at the W on Lex. And some walking around $.

So if someone wants to Paypal $3000 to me, I'll be there. Otherwise I'll have to settle for the pix on flickr.

Doesn't everyone already know? Cuz I know.

I think I know. . .

And Katz's IS open late tonight....

posted by brujita 26 October | 09:57

Yes, thankfully, if we decide to make it over to Katz's this time, it won't be closed!

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 26 October | 10:00

LOL birdherder!

posted by halonine 26 October | 10:05

Is anyone going to say who they think it is? Maybe we can play hangman or something.... ;P

posted by iconomy 26 October | 10:05

I know who it is...ready?

It's Captain America!
I know what you're thinking - I thought he was gay too.

posted by Hellbient 26 October | 10:08

I seriously think it's more fun to keep quiet. Then, of course, when you and I are wrong, ico, we can insist that we had it right all along. . .

It also has to do with Jan's privacy, as public as all of this has been (and fun for her, I hope).

posted by danf 26 October | 10:09

iconomy, check your MeMail. Dabnabbit, we need MechaMail!

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 26 October | 10:14

I agree....I was kidding. Wondering who her sex partners might be doesn't keep me up all night or anything. (it just keeps me up for a couple of hours)

posted by iconomy 26 October | 10:15

It takes you that long?

my turn to kid

posted by danf 26 October | 10:21

Instead of hangman, maybe 20 questions...1) Is he bigger than jan's breadbox?

posted by danostuporstar 26 October | 10:27

entering "essexjan MO" in Google Image Search brings up this:

I guess that narrows it down to 3. Or, ahem, 4.

Will the MO be there?

Maybe I'm too self-centered, but I'm not especially interested in romantic relationships that don't involve me.

That fool can't run fast enough to shake me!! I'll get you yet, Stynx!!!

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 26 October | 10:48

heh JanetLand. We didn't *say* we cared. We're just observant good (possibly bad, who knows?) guessers.

If I don't know who the MO is by 1200 GMT Sunday I'm shutting down the site*. If anyone doesn't want this great loss to humanity on their conscience(s), they will take the proper steps.

or, possibly not. More than likely, not. Almost certainly, not. But do you really want to take that chance. Punk?

Aw, she cleaned the axe! That's a pal for you. Very considerate.

Wait, Pinks...put the axe down for one second. I want an update on your hair. Is it looking better? Did you get a refund?

posted by jrossi4r 26 October | 12:48

My hair is looking better; it looks a lot closer to what I wanted it to look like than I originally thought (although I'm still not crazy at how much she thinned it out- isn't having thick hair a GOOD thing?). I'm still not crazy about the weird long parts in the back, but Stynx is going to see it tonight (hasn't seen it yet), and either chop the pieces off with my ax or send me back to salon for chopping.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 26 October | 12:53

Oh good! Carry on, then.

I'm feeling very weary now... I think I will withdraw to my secret place in the Kalahari, with my Rosebud. And special friends.

GET THEE SOMETHING, SOMETHING...

actually, all I know is that "get thee" part; anyone knows what comes next?

posted by taz 26 October | 14:19

. . . .to a nunnery.

I think it's from Hamlet.

Oddly, it could be apropos to Jan, with her recent behavior and all. . .

posted by danf 26 October | 14:22

I was thinking "Get thee gone, Satan." But Google seems to like "Get thee behind me, Satan."

I prefer "Get thee gone." It sounds like an Elizabethan ad for oven cleaner.

posted by occhiblu 26 October | 14:28

If you really need an exorcist, let me know.

But I think all you need is a better screenwriter, to tell the truth.

posted by bunnyfire 26 October | 14:34

Even I have a (pretty damn good) guess!

posted by viachicago 26 October | 14:38

I'm too scared to attend the meetup now.

I haven't been around here enough lately to observe any subtle clues, but ej only links to one contact on MeFi, and he's a NYer, so he's my guess.

Or wait, maybe they're not married, I can't remember.... but they're a long-term couple, anyways.

Decanni is happily engaged to a non-metachat mefite.

posted by stynxno 26 October | 15:32

I'm pretty sure I know who it is and, given that I am male and therefore totally hopeless when it comes to observation of what women are doing/thinking/feeling, I'm amazed that so few others have figured it out.
