Wow. After all these years we really are the Best of the Web.

Well, one of us, anyway. Well done!

Does he get to be called "MeFi's own...", like me and asavage now?
posted by Meatbomb at 12:13 PM on May 31

So does this make him notorious, or infamous?
posted by blue_beetle at 8:44 PM on May 31

Pfff.. transatlantic.. how about transplanetary. Mefi's own brownpau gets a shoutout from Mars.

Well done hadjiboy!

By the way does anybody know how nickyskye is doing?

aah found the answer to my question; updates here.
posted by By The Grace of God at 1:43 PM on June 1

That's great. Congratulations, hadjiboy.

But "transatlantic" is wrong because he's in India. And anyway, it's the web. It's not anywhere.

One day we should have a good housecleaning of the US-centric tendencies of MeFi, the way the sexism got highlighted and thrashed out a while back.

Not true; I keep it in my basement. You know those times when you can't get online? It's because I had to unplug it so I could vacuum the floor. Sorry about that.

Congrats hadjiboy! It's good to see you getting recognized for one of your many great posts.

TransIndian congratulations!

only, it's not there anymore; bumped off the list by Adbusters, or something...

It's certainly something that's annoying me a little more than usual with the Bush derail on this thread.
