This post should go.

Either the IMG tag needs to be reinstated, or this post needs to be deleted. If it stays, at least uncap the tags.

You'd think it would be flagged to death already. *shrug*

That thread was a trainwreck before the first comment was added to it. I assume it will be gone soon.

You know who else banned the img tag?

Felix, I am favoriting that comment as hard as I possibly can.

Tag cleansing from the blue to the grey.

I hope there's a funny reason when it's chopped.

Or at least a rude and patronizing one.

I can't stop reading that link's text as an old school rap:

Well, I'm the High Leader and I'm hear to say
Let's get funky the genocidal way
I've cleansed ethnics from the Balkans to Israel
Because diverse societies are really lame

Ain't a crime 'gainst humanity to have skills this ill
Gonna go to The Hague and give 'em a thrill
'Cause I got rhymes and a defense team so slick
The International Tribunal will acquit

They got photos and documents horrific to behold
But the only records that matter are platinum and gold...

I should really consider doing this professionally.

You should, Alvy, you should.

The post in question just reminded me how sodding awkward it is to flag stuff.

Sorry, I was in class. I can't bring back the IMG tag so I did the next best thing.

Last post. And it's about Israeli Trance!

Ha haaa! Man. Invisible Sandwich. That cat always cracks me up.

From now on we can just reference the obscure pics we all used to know and love.

A close friend of mine had an 'E' once, he nearly died. Well that's what he told me. His excuse was, he had met up with some people he had met at his last office job to go to a girls birthday party. Oh fuck the story is to boring to retell here, let us leave it at he didn't die, had a fucking excellent time, then went about his life.

Things would be so much better with images.

I wonder if anybody has let hard rain know that we're really a secret cabal of zionists yet?

Pollomacho : "I wonder if anybody has let hard rain know that we're really a secret cabal of zionists yet?"

Nah, we're just a bunch of goa-heads. I think it's just confusion caused by people saying "Man, those Israeli DJs lay down some killer tracks!"

Good deletion, jessamyn, but your reason isn't quite up to snuff. It's neither funny nor rude and it's only slightly patronizing.

Please try harder next time.
posted by timeistight at 7:54 AM on December 1, 2006

It was neither funny nor trenchant the first time you said it, timeistight.
Get the fuck over it.

And apologies to all for the Mr. Plowesque ("Promise me you'll never do that again.") rap.
Stupid cold medicine.
