I recently posted my 100th FPP in the blue. (But didn't even notice at the time!) Now this probably isn't much compared to some others, but I've been using MeFi for what seems like forever, so I just thought I'd take a moment to say thanks to Matt and the other admin guys, and to everyone else who makes MeFi a great place - since it isn't often we get positive posts in the grey.
Thanks, MeFi!

Hey, stop that! Stop being nice! Quit it! You're.. you're.. ruining the vibe, man!
(We love you too, Mwongozi.)

Thanks, Mwongozi, for posting good stuff for so long.

Big woop. I just made my 9000th comment on the blue. I am King Of The Time Wasters!

And vagina ownership does not preclude guydom.

I hereby declare "admin guy" to be a non-gender-specific term. :)
posted by Mwongozi at 2:01 PM on November 1, 2005

Certainly most of the "admin guys" I know are gender-ambiguous.

Oh of course there's something else to be thankful for - isn't this your "first day in the job" Matt?
posted by NinjaPirate at 2:16 PM on November 1, 2005

I have one too, doesn't mean I'm not male.

FYI, Mr. Insensitive: there are guys with vaginas. Consult your spam folder for more information.

I don't own a vagina, but I have a long-term lease.

Yeah, but coming up with that balloon payment is going to be a killer.

Yeah Crash. Everytime my wife gets up and goes somewhere, I yell out "there goes the neighborhood."

Matt already owns a recumbent bike. A vagina would just be redundant.

this is my first day on the job, which I've spent mostly by taking naps and watching the baby.

After almost four years at the same job, I'll probably rest this week, and come out swinging next week with new features galore.

Recumbent Vagina would be a totally kickass name for a punk band. It sounds so filthy (bent spunk again? what?) when its really not. Unless it is.

let's be abundantly clear about something:

THIS is what it means to be a "guy."

So, yeah, vaginas totally count.

I recently posted my 100th FPP in the blue. (But didn't even notice at the time!) Now this probably isn't much compared to some others

It breaks you into the top 50 posters. Congrats - keep up the good work!
posted by biffa at 3:08 AM on November 2, 2005

Wait, the fifth most prolific poster is Manhasset? Who the hell is Manhasset? Is that list for some Bizarro MeFi?
posted by languagehat at 6:06 AM on November 2, 2005

Manhasset just joined Sunday so his/her ratio is high at the moment.

(Or was that just rhetorical, LH? If so, I have an intersting pic involving a furrie and a train I could post regarding the vagina derail, if it would help clear things up.)
posted by If I Had An Anus at 6:21 AM on November 2, 2005

No, it was an honest question. I guess I could have done a username search and figured out the answer, but my wonderment led me to just blurt it out. Thanks for the answer. Manhasset must have been doing his/her posting in threads I haven't visited.

I do find it fascinating how one notices some posters more than others. amberglow's high contribution stats for example always surprise as their are posters who appear on my radar with greater frequency independent of their stats. LH being one, jonmc (with high contribution index but to me more apparent than amberglow). you may have your own examples.
