Heh, lgyre (the asker) must have prevented it from being deleted as chatfilter by not saying "I'll go first"... But yeah, a very chatty-sounding question has turned into a pretty cool thread of eclectic answers... This is a perfect example of how the line between "chatfilter" and "useful question" is a very thin one indeed. posted by amyms at 9:19 PM on June 14, 2007
I think it is funny that someone made an AskMe question that, summed up, just says, "What things do you really like?" And that people were defending it as a good question. posted by jayder at 9:28 PM on June 14, 2007
There is a thin green line between AskMe and chatfilter. posted by Falconetti at 9:35 PM on June 14, 2007

Like I said in Vronsky's buckets thread in the blue, it's clear we're in an administrative dead zone, so go nuts, people. I think I'll go post a question about whether it's okay to circumcise my cat. posted by nanojath at 9:39 PM on June 14, 2007
This post is dangerou because it's a major spoiler for anything I might say in the future in AskMe. I'll have to branch out. I recommend that too. I forgot. posted by Ambrosia Voyeur at 9:39 PM on June 14, 2007
I agree, I'm awesome. posted by jonson at 9:42 PM on June 14, 2007
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad posted by The Deej at 9:49 PM on June 14, 2007
I semi-defended the question in the AskMe thread. "Why" you ax? I get to talk about me! posted by The Deej at 9:50 PM on June 14, 2007

I'd/will participate in said thread! posted by ericb at 9:53 PM on June 14, 2007
I personally attack every one of you for that thing you said in a thread that time.
I always wanted to, but had been scared civil. posted by Methylviolet at 10:01 PM on June 14, 2007
I think I'll go post a question about whether it's okay to circumcise my cat.
But, to make it more chatfiltery, you should ask, "What do you think my cat will be thinking and feeling after I circumcise him? Will he hate me?"
(assuming your cat is male... because if you're going to circumcise a female cat, that would just cause outrage) posted by amyms at 10:05 PM on June 14, 2007
Nice FPP vronsky.

We can't have nice things around here. posted by The Deej at 10:06 PM on June 14, 2007
I favorited both the thread in question AND the first comment. What does that say about me?
Wait, don't answer that.
Fuck I hate using "favorite" as a verb." Will someone please shoot me in the face with a bazooka? kthxbye. posted by dersins at 10:14 PM on June 14, 2007
This is where I wish we could see the flags. I am curious if there are more flags on the question, or on the answers for not having answered the question. posted by The Deej at 10:21 PM on June 14, 2007
