crunchland is crunchtastic!

October 25, 2003 12:28 PM

Since September 1st (he's been doing it for longer than that, but I don't know how to count beyond 40), crunchland has posted approximately 40 threads to the blue. Most of these links have been fantastic eye and/or brain candy. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you and that I hope the well isn't running dry. Keep it up!

A well deserved shout-out. His links have been consistently amazing and different.

Yeah, ban crunchland!! Oh... wait...

Oh, and, Hey! ...ashbury's pretty cool himself! We're all nitpicking and infighting while ashbury takes time to give kudos to what's good on MeFi.

Crunchland is notoriously non-descript. I'm waiting for the impending one-letter linjk description with a [flash] note after it ;)

If someone doesn't shrillly accuse someone else of being a Racist soon, the tension's going to kill me. When did MetaTalk become a lovefest?

Crunchland does indeed contribute lots of fun & interesting links, if you're into that kind of thing

i think dhartung just called you "fibrous", crunch.
and dhoyt, you lazy, welfare-collectin', good for nothing illegitimate issue of the rape of a porch monkey by a passing camel jockey, perhaps something along those lines can be arranged, but it will take plenty of capital since i must bribe the christ-killers.

Glad you brought that up, dhoyt: who but an outright racist would suggest that a certain colour is right? ;)

jesus amberglow, you dared him, and he did it.

I can't take the credit (or blame)--it was The God Complex. Very funny tho! I only do dirty dares

crunchland bit the head off my baby. Like a rabid, community-weblog dingo, he was.

The first time I met crunchland, he offered me some arsenic-tinged peanut butter cookies. He told me that the recipe had been handed down over four generations. Despite having my stomach pumped, I gotta say: the cookies wuz good.

Any man who can keep a smile on your face while trying to poison you is worthy of your attention.

it's the devil's work, I tell you. crunchland sold his soul for links, iconomy lost her mojo, plep doesn't cast a reflection in a mirror, and madamjujujive? Come on... how naive do you think we are?

dg: I already started the church of crunchland back in August. You're welcome to join if you like.
posted by Johnny Assay at 5:45 PM on October 26, 2003

what does the church of crunchland believe, johnny? do you have any pamphlets for us?
posted by amberglow at 5:59 PM on October 26, 2003

Sorry, Johnny Assay, I have already sold my soul to the devil and part of the contract was a non-competitive clause specifying that I cannot join any churches worshiping similar figures.
posted by dg at 6:33 PM on October 26, 2003

Oh and amberglow - you are no longer allowed to grade children as "needs work", you have to say they are "progressing". Don't you love political correctness?
posted by dg at 6:35 PM on October 26, 2003

dg, what'd you get for your soul?
posted by amberglow at 6:47 PM on October 26, 2003

Given the state of my soul, I think I got a bargain.
posted by dg at 7:30 PM on October 26, 2003

Thus far, the only rite of the Church of Crunchland is the making of burnt offerings to Crunchland in the hope that he will continue to favour us with his blessings. It is our duty to keep Crunchland happy, for if he were to become angry with us, he would flood our beloved site with CNN articles and discussion-y posts and would be banished by the supreme god Mathowie to the Outer Wastes.

Unfortunately, it has not yet been determined what Crunchland's preferred offerings are — we tried burnt offerings from his Amazon wish list, but somehow they didn't have quite the desired effect.

I recently saw crunchland and Valerie Bertinelli-Van Halen walking out of a Mark Shale in midtown St. Louis arm-in-arm drinking mint smoothies (which you are TOTALLY not supposed to do in Mark Shale), and I have to admit that crunchland looked *spectacular*. I think he had just gotten some new shoes. Brown. Monkstrap. Shined to a luminous gloss.

I never read his links, though. Are they good?

Who is this 'crunchland'? Or, is that something I would need a browser to know? ;-P
