No real comments or complaints, sorry -- just writing to say that MeFi is very interesting and entertaining today. As it is most days. Thanks, Matt.

As this is true, luser, I don't think it'll get much of a response. But it is worth saying and reminding members of. Calling all lurkers: say you care too!

You didn't have to host it
like you did
but you did
when you did
And I thank you!

I didn't have to post it
like I did
but I did
when I did
And I thank you!

And you call that a complete sentence? It's posts like these that make me wonder why Matt doesn't just shut this place down already.

And I'd like to go on record as saying that this joke:

Two atoms finish thier drinks and get up to leave the bar. The first one suddenly stops and begins looking all around the stool he had been perched on. "Aw crap!" he finally exclaims, "I lost an electron."

The second atom asks, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah," says the first atom, "I'm positive."

Is very funny today. As it is most days.

Yes, thank you, Matt. Though visiting your site has not made me more popular with the opposite sex, nor resulted in very much tax-free income, nor increased my sexual prowess, I thank you. You've done a hell of a lot, and I appreciate it.

Yeah, well, I was going to chime in--then that This Proves Cats Are Evil post got pulled, thereby robbing me of my 'Bunnyfire's talking pussy! A sentence I never expected I'd write!' link. Now, I'm just going to pout...

I love it when MeFi feels the love.

Matt rules.
In fact, when people complain about my shoddy community admin work, I often reply, "Hey, I'm no Matt Haughy."

Then they say, "How did you get in here? Did you used to work here?"

Then I say, "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION! Don't forget the lessons of TRON!"

Then the short one with the wiry hair disapears to look for a security guard while the other distracts me with shiny things.

Matt Haughey sucks. Yeah, that's right, you heard me. Matt Haughey sucks. His website's up and mine's not. Bastard.

Anyone notice I've been posting more here this week? Sorry. I'll go back to lurking again next week, I promise. :-)
