Once, twice, three times a critter.

July 21, 2009 9:46 PM

Hi, Metafilter. I posted a project in Projects. It has somehow shown up on the Projects page three times -- one, two, three. Not sure if I did this or if some other error occurred.

Number two will do, but number one is way more fun.

If you called it "The 18000th tower-defense game" then...well...that would be pretty cool.

fwiw, you can contact the mods directly (bottom right hand corner) for things of this nature.

The mods could launch a casual little tower defense to prevent this happening in the future.

Snark Defense, apparently.

tellurian likes number two the best, have you heard?

Dude, big round number posts aren't for mundane bullshit like your three projects. They're for the hard work of making us ever more jaded MeTa readers laugh a little, cry a little, and really think, man, think, about the human condition and this crazy little thing we all like to call life.

If it helps, play Bananarama's Cruel Summer in the background, and imagine what you're writing is being read by Neil Patrick Harris inexplicably dressed like Wil Wheaton.

Then, only then, will we truly be alive.

I tried, but all I got was Roy Orbison in clingfilm.

Actually, I'm now leaning towards number three. Yes, number three is my favourite.

Is your friend named Amy? 'Cause that would be awesome.

We're now living in a post 18k world. Pick a side and stick with it, you flip-flopper.

Wait, what is number three?
posted by Pronoiac at 12:00 PM on July 22

If you don't know what number three is... Dude, you're missing out.

You are number six.

I am not a number. I am a free man.
posted by tellurian at 4:26 PM on July 22

A free man who doesn't know his number two from his number three.

Number Two: Ha, ha, ha, ha....
posted by tellurian at 6:39 PM on July 22

Number two??? Number two??? Nobody calls me that anymore and gets away with it! Take it back! Take it baaaack! (seek to about 1:00)

Finally, a way to give multiple favorites!!!

Number two is funny because it means poop.
posted by Meatbomb at 8:26 PM on July 22 [1 favorite]

Poop is funny because it means stern, tire or stool.
posted by flabdablet at 10:21 PM on July 22

stool is funny because it means a backless chair or feces.
posted by qvantamon at 11:32 PM on July 22

I stepped on something brown and sticky.
posted by flabdablet at 3:21 AM on July 23

Feces is funny because it's feces.
posted by chasing at 3:32 AM on July 23

Feces are the lowest form of shit.
posted by flabdablet at 4:04 AM on July 23

Get it right, it's faeces.
posted by tellurian at 4:34 AM on July 23

flabdablet: A stick?
posted by Pronoiac at 10:45 AM on July 23

No, a stool.
posted by flabdablet at 5:02 PM on July 23

Stool is funny because it means poop.
posted by Meatbomb at 2:18 PM on July 24

Poop is funny because it's like "pop", only longer.
