Despite my penchant for terse front page posts, with as little interpretation as possible, I think this is a prime example of a frontpage post done right. Well done, NotMyselfRightNow.

I wholeheatedly support the use of MetaTalk for positive shout-outs. (It'll force the crap posts off the page in relatively short order) Besides, I agree with crunchy, NotMyselfRightNow should be proud of NotHimself.

I agree the post was written in a very engaging manner, and the topic is interesting too.

Yeah, that post cracked me up when I read it and then the material behind it, and the discussion was interesting, too.

I am not fond of myself right now, though I am fond of NotMyselfRightNow.

The wording of the post was good, except for the free and confident use of the future tense. Now who turns out to be wrong, hmmm?

Whew. After all that, I need a cigarette.

Too bad the gizmo made a crunchlanding.

Okay, the MeFi LoveFest lasted 7 comments... that may be a record. Has somebody been using some kind of "herbal enhancement"?

What happened? Where's my hate? I come here for petty squabbles between fascists and anarchists, between self-obsessed myopics and -- other self-obsessed myopics, and I get (*Makes flouncy hands*) "Nice post, MotMyselfRightNow!" "Interesting Topic!" "Smart and Engaging!" "Well Written Post!" "If the operation went as well as this thread has gone, they'd have caught the damn satellite!"

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ferfucksake, no one's called anyone a cocksucker (in the perjorative sense, anyway) in friggin' hours! What's wrong with you people?

That does it. I'm going into the archives, back to the good old days when MeFi and MeTa really sucked.

The Two Minutes of Hate has been replaced by the Two Minutes of Luuurve.

I thought it was a great post. Cuddle Party, anyone?

tracicle, can I start a Blogstop game here?

Never Obstruct Wendell...

I'll smack the first person that takes up wendell on his game thing. Smack 'em hard. Positive re-enforcement may not be peeing on MeTa, but that certainly is.

Now, back to the matter at hand : who's gonna get naked first?

I knew a twin named Fellatio, and her sister was Orangello.

Nah. Don't discourage quonsar. His case-worker says it's good for him to work out his aggression this way, instead of physically inflicting it on people near him.
