It's too goddam easy to post to MetaTalk. There should be a notice that comes up when you try to post that says "Do you really want to do this? Because if you're just farting around, a boxing glove will emerge from the computer and punch your lights out." posted by mediareport at 10:25 PM on November 5, 2007

If they're upset over President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's multiple titles, they are gonna go apeshit over Mr. President Dr. Steve Elvis America...

This sort of MetaTalk posting is far too Pervezive these days.

This is now my number one pony request. The boxing glove, not the notice. posted by grouse at 3:04 AM on November 6, 2007

"It's too goddam easy to post to MetaTalk."
I respectfully disagree. This morning I would have liked to post a confirming Denver Meetup post with dates/times/locales, however I was DENIED, since my 7-day posting limit has yet to expire.
and then I come here and find THIS SHIT?!

Oh, wait. I get it now.

It's too goddam easy to post to MetaTalk.
And it's too goddam easy to make snarky comments on MeTa threads.
See! For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction, yin and yang, thus the universe is kept in balance etc. etc. posted by Kattullus at 7:17 AM on November 6, 2007
While the yuks the poster had in mind were minimal, I did enjoy this at the bottom of the linked page:
Newspaper columnist Fasi Zaka speaks Renee Montagne.

Pervez are put on a national registry so you can tell if one of them moves into your neighborhood. posted by eddydamascene at 7:25 AM on November 6, 2007
man that was a weak-assed deletion reason. I feel so let down, and after such a brilliant trainwreck, too.

NPR headline unknowingly makes MeFi funny
Wait... you mean this whole time it hasn't been funny? I'm so confused. All that laughter... all those favorites. Shit. posted by dead_ at 8:05 AM on November 6, 2007

On a separate topic, don't miss the (now closed) Self-Link Pile-On Of The Day!
Shit! I can't believe I missed that! Especially:
sorry, just nipped out for a brisk nordic walk and a fresh berry shake.
... which was just BEGGING for a comment about his balls. BEGGING for it, man.

Sometimes, you delete first and ask pointed questions ("Is this user a complete asshat?" "How does a person like that sleep at night?" "Seriously, wow, they're actually wholly composed of semi-sentient mucas? For real? Gross!") later. posted by cortex at 8:25 AM on November 6, 2007
(And then you permaban their SEO-shilling, no-account, repeat-offender berry shake into next year.) posted by cortex at 8:26 AM on November 6, 2007
If they're permabanned, I'd hope it'd last past next year. That's only 2 months away, you know. Dig? posted by Item at 8:28 AM on November 6, 2007

Also, I'd to take this opportunity to point out that the band Me. UK Health Food Guru Spammer links to in his profile - h o l o s u n or holosun or whatever the fuck - ssucks. Not just a little, oh-how-cute suck, but a full blown, go-back-to-your-jobs-at-your-dad's-factory-STAT kind of suck. posted by Item at 8:33 AM on November 6, 2007
er, *Mr. UK Health Food Guru Spammer*, not me. I suck in an entirely differently way. posted by Item at 8:34 AM on November 6, 2007
That guys is probably the best spammer we've ever had. Not only did he self link and spam, but he responded to the flames with MORE SPAM!
some guys don't get it. they just keep trying to fight back and salvage their rep, presumably to be able to keep posting spam in the future. others just back off, damage having been done, and never reappear. Not our hero, though! He'll just take what time he still has to keep posting more helpful health food advice! The man has the tenacity of a rabid pitbull, and I respect that.
Or at least, I respect it AND I also want him to fuck off and die. posted by shmegegge at 8:37 AM on November 6, 2007 [1 favorite]
That's great, Mike. I'm very proud of ya. posted by mattbucher at 8:40 AM on November 6, 2007
Brother cortex, what are mucas? posted by Mister_A at 8:44 AM on November 6, 2007
I think they're the rattle rattle shake shake things that out friends south of the Rio Grande play when they're needing a bit of cha cha added to their music. Also, the instruments are covered in a thick, gooey phlegm. posted by Item at 8:52 AM on November 6, 2007

Also, in Peru a muca is a sort of opossum. (Doesn't seem to mean anything in any other variety of Spanish.) posted by languagehat at 9:05 AM on November 6, 2007

Ah. Learn something every day. I thought maybe it was some weird telemark striding or whatnot. posted by potsmokinghippieoverlord at 2:25 PM on November 6, 2007
