The comments in the "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign thread are the funniest thing I have ever read on the blue.

Prove me wrong.

So, Short Attention Sp, what other funny thing have you read on the blue? ... Yes, that one. That one is funnier. FUNNIER THAN FASCISM!

No offense to the 100+ commenters in that thread, but they don't even have the funniest Wal-Mart-related comment I've ever read on the blue. Damn That Television must be spinning in his grave.

That thread made me run out of favorites for the day. :(

Well, in fairness, if you've been here since May 2010, your sample size is pretty small. [NOT NEWBIST]

Well, I registered in May. Still, point taken.

Jacqueline, there's a limit to the number of favorites?

danb and TPS, I'm already a fan of Greg Nog; he's yet to make me laugh out loud, but different strokes, etc. And I do get the fandom thing. He's good.

I'm going to bed now. I need to be rested for what tomorrow's news may bring.

"Jacqueline, there's a limit to the number of favorites?"

Yeah, I actually hit it pretty often, since I click + on anything that makes me LOL and the people here are pretty clever. :(

I'm feeling under the weather again so if ya'll could just post your favorite threads that'd be super.

I actually laughed much harder at the comments in the how to fold a fitted sheet post.

STOP USING THEM ALL YOU'RE DRIVING UP THE MARKET PRICE.

T.D. Strange: You made me LOL and I wanted to favorite your comment, but I can't unless I go take a favorite away from someone else. :(

I want a higher daily limit for favorites. :(

Jacqueline: "That thread made me run out of favorites for the day. :("

LOL - I, too, ran out of my daily limit, but it was in the assange thread. I never knew there was a limit 'til last night! Then I'm like WTF? Thankfully, I hit the new time frame and can start faving now! :) I guess I abuse them too much. Sorry!

Sorry to be clueless, but did something happen to Damn That Television? I just noticed his account is disabled.

"STOP USING THEM ALL YOU'RE DRIVING UP THE MARKET PRICE."

Technically, she's driving down the value of favorites. Market saturation.

anyone but me hear Madea when they read DTT's comment?
posted by toodleydoodley at 9:20 AM on December 8, 2010

DTT was trained from an early age in the magic arts, then betrayed her father to run away with the captain of a looting party who proved to be an unfaithful husband and ended up tragically murdering her own children?

Yeah, I would have closed my account too.

What is the daily limit for favorites?

I believe it is 100 in a 24-hour period. (Previously.)
