I love Metafilter and the site continues to get more awesome, especially with the addition of the feature that shows the number of recent new and as yet invisible comments. I love Metafilter even when mods occasionally reject my questions as inappropriate. Thanks to all the admins; you're doing a great job. That is all.

Yes! Use the money you save to put gas in your SUV so you can drive to Wal-Mart, cutting off bicyclists on your way.

/sarcasm.

Small comment that should be disregarded where I say something that sounds a lot nicer than my above comment that was "sarcasm" but really wasn't.

I've been meaning to ask, where do we turn these in for our prizes?

You know, this really should be in the wiki.

First, pick out your prize from the Mefi shopping site. You can have anything on the list!

Next, you'll have to go to any one of Cortex's websites and submit a picture of your cat (or a friend's cat, any cat will do. Do not substitute with dog, hamster, gerbil or goldfish or your points will be invalidated). Include a theme song for your cat, and use the tags, "xfiles", "baseballcards" and "carcassone." This is very important!

PB monitors all incoming and outgoing traffic and, alerted by those tags, will contact you with a special phrase involving the codeword "pony" and an exclusive fax number, which is to be used ONLY for points redemption. Please do not abuse this privilege.

Fax your points and prize request to the number. I'm told the fax machine is located in a secure location in Vermont (there is a lake there, in the middle of which Jessamyn lives), but I haven't been able to verify that. She will then forward them to matthowie.

NO ONE communicates directly with Matt.

Your prize will arrive in 2-3 weeks, via recumbent bike messenger.

Please have pie ready for him.

Note: vacapinta only becomes involved in the process if you are an Aussie. But really, we hardly have any prize requests from them, because the exchange rate is so high.

Hope this clears up the confusion!

You'll notice I didn't FTFY... I tried that the first time I encountered automagically, and learned my lesson the hard way. For the record, I really was wondering if collorary was a word now.

Ever since nucular was deemed an acceptable pronunciation for nuclear, the language has made me ridiculously nervous.
