Weird deletion. I usually hate Flash stuff but it made me laugh. And my friend who thought that MeFi was a site worth visiting based on the fact links like LION were on it. Way to scare off the lay-deez Matt...

oh. what is lofi, exactly?

I thought it was a weird deletion too. The flash site was pretty funny.

I didn't get the point of the post (didn't look at the flash site beyond the front of it) and saw several others were saying "wtf?" so I figured it was lame. My bad, I'll bring it back then.

Just like Jesus.

Wow. You really are the #1!

Awesome. I was going to say earlier that I thought it was really funny. I didn't get the presentation, but I thought the flash was hilarious.

I didn't get why the wacky article about armpit sweat was added, and not having headphones around to listen to the flash I was scratching my head.

Having located headphones, it's funny, but still the post is presented in a kooky way.

Thanks Matt. I liked it. For a moment, I thought I stepped into a warp when I reloaded and it returned.

Good work! Now see if you can get him to delete it again.

Heh. Matt's such a pushover. Asshat Permalink Haughey's going to totally 0wn him... :-)

Honestly, one lucky sperm and he thinks he's God.

Wow - my already high admiration for Matt just shot up again. Just what level of greatness is this man aiming for?

Take it down again, Matt and justify your decision by saying something undefendable like "Good link, great Flash application, interesting and never seen before, but not as hilarious as the best Monty Python sketches at the time they were first aired, in the opinion of the Python team itself so...blah!".

It's good to be human like the rest of us! ;)

You need to post here more often. I miss my evil twin.

*blink*

what's odd about that comment is that both of you DO have evil twins exclusive of each other.

Ha! When I speak Matt listens. You n00bs just pray for the day you get where I am today.

Ok, now that it's been brought back, you can delete it for being a double post! :)

I didn't quite get the two links and the point of them but I truly enjoyed that Home English Home Lesson 1 video.

Thanks for the resurrection, Matt!

And maybe this is a seperate thread but some of Matt's deletion comments are pretty funny, does anyone have a collection of them somewhere?
