Up this man's meds, please. He's obviously delusional. posted by jonmc at 6:48 AM on May 24, 2005
Love this shoutout to y2karl. And glad to see Melissa May's shoutout to some of the mefemmes (props to jonmc for the term coinage)! We need more girl on girl shoutouts. posted by iconomy at 6:55 AM on May 24, 2005
I kinda remember that. posted by rocketman at 7:24 AM on May 24, 2005

caitlinb is obviously still mad about me taking a break from the darts game to ask all the women back at the table about how things were going in the kitchen. I'm such a charmer. posted by DaShiv at 7:41 AM on May 24, 2005
My first shout-out! I feel ... special. posted by Dr. Wu at 8:31 AM on May 24, 2005
Wow, DaShiv, I had missed that huge pizza shoutout. Awesome. Thanks, caitlinb! posted by iconomy at 8:35 AM on May 24, 2005
Whoa, totally unexpected. I always thought I'd be a bridesmaid, never a bride. Thanks! posted by deborah at 9:09 AM on May 24, 2005
Is there some kind of requirement that all metafilter guys MUST have great heads of hair before they can go to a meet-up? Who will be the first balding meta-guy in a meetup photo?

not to grouse or anything, but why has it never occurred to mefites with digital cameras that software exists by which dark pictures can be lightened? posted by quonsar at 11:13 AM on May 24, 2005
So what, jonmc, don't you like Merzbow? posted by kenko at 11:22 AM on May 24, 2005
I've never even heard Merzbow, kenko, but I'm not much for that newfangled stuff the kids listen to. posted by jonmc at 11:45 AM on May 24, 2005
I think this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that geeks who wear glasses are hot. And I'm not just saying that because I am a geek who wears glasses. posted by LeeJay at 1:37 PM on May 24, 2005

Well, when your vision is impaired, everyone's hot. For those of us with 20/20 vision it takes about 7 or 8 beers. posted by jonmc at 1:45 PM on May 24, 2005
jonmc: Merzbow released his first work in 1979 or so. So, all in good fun ;-P
So many googly-eyed shots... posted by hototogisu at 1:52 PM on May 24, 2005
rocketman: just how much bourbon was that, anyway? posted by hototogisu at 1:55 PM on May 24, 2005
The trouble with shoutouts is that later you remember whom you wanted to shout to, but it is just too damn late. The underlit photos have all been taken (quonsar, the interior of the Tap Room is black as an opium den at night), the last call has been sounded, the pink elephants have stopped tapdancing, and you suddenly remember everyone else to whom you meant to shout. So, SHOUT! I meant it for you. Yes, you.
Oh, and hototogisu not only has gorgeous hair sitting atop a sound mind, he gets your back when you lose the thread of your conversation, your money, and your car keys. Do not question how I know this, oh please don't. posted by melissa may at 2:30 PM on May 24, 2005
16 people like Merzbow, and 13 of them are on Metafilter! posted by hackly_fracture at 2:51 PM on May 24, 2005

This is true. With my glasses off I'll quite happily chat up poles, mannequins, trees...basically anything upright. Actually, after 7 or 8 beers I do pretty much the same thing. posted by LeeJay at 2:57 PM on May 24, 2005
hototogisu: aw gee shucks. cheers! posted by moonbird at 4:06 PM on May 24, 2005

I did some googling on him. He dosen't sound like my cuppa tea. But you enjoy.

I swear I didn't hit post that first time. Anyway, thankee kindly, and a tip of the Hatlo hat to one of my all-time favorite MeFemmes. posted by languagehat at 5:27 PM on May 24, 2005
Hey! I was in the picture, too! On purpose, even. It counts as three, really.
Ok! you're a beauty too, interrobang! ; > posted by amberglow at 7:15 PM on May 24, 2005
Ah, good times, even though we all look like we're under the heat lamp at a Rax. posted by cog_nate at 11:20 AM on May 25, 2005
Oh, and I'm holding a self-link shoutout, but it's pointing at melissa may. Does that mean I'm bannenated?! Can we get a ruling on this? posted by cog_nate at 11:23 AM on May 25, 2005
