So uh... what do we do? Congratulate him/her or get them a gift voucher for a really great therapist?

Either way, here's to 1500 more always entertaining questions!

And no answers. Freeloader!

It's things like this that are gonna cost you your gold star, Effigy. After all, crediting all these questions to a single person would mean (a) we have in our midst a new World Record for Multiple Personality Disorder and (b) a lot of folks are going to be pissed when they realize somebody's found a way around the "two week" rule. And 1500 anonymous AskMes among 48,110 members ain't all that much. In fact, I'd say we still have a lot of work ahead of us. Have YOU submitted an anonymous yet?

Congratulations on the betrothment, E2K. Does she have a sister who's even more nearsighted? And when is the next episode of the Adventures of Agent Howie?

We obviously need to join Anonymous Anonymous.

I was going to post an anonymous question about a skin condition on my, well...in any case, the idea that Matt and Jessamyn would know would be too much, so I'll just keep it to myself.

coming soon by anonymous:


- my husband is a serial killer and insists on keeping severed human heads in our freezer, what's the most eco friendly and least unsanitary way to warp them?

- what's the best lubricant to ram a 42-inches LCD HDTV up my ass?

- my roommate fell asleep 13 days ago on the couch and apparently hasn't woken up yet: the mild stench of putrefaction is annoying and scented candles aren't really helping: should I buy some Febreeze or simply call the cops?

- in a freaky string of mishaps, my teenage daughter has blown up the house: should I ground her now in the trailer we're taken refuge in or should I wait until we eventually buy another house?

Your husband is warped. Ask him.

"I am Anonymous!"

(Followed by a succession of MeFites standing forward and announcing, "I am Anonymous!")

Hey congrats Anonymous. Thanks for all your questions about your lecherous boss, your premature ejaculation, problems about your nipples, questions about your horrible spouse, personal moral issues regarding your mom who is evading taxes on her fancy goldfish farm, your daughter the prostitute, your boyfriend who wants to quit his job to join the WWE, your girlfriend who may or may not be a stripper, your wife who may or may not be cheating on you with your mistress' son who is trying out for WWE.

We all got problems, you've just got the most, Anonymous. We'll try to help with some answers. Cheers to 1500, baby. You don't look a day past 1225.

Spartacus has been strangely silent.

Also, anonymoose has asked 35 questions, the most sensative being about Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

And I can't believe nobody's paid the five bucks for the username PompousAss yet.

Anonymous: "I'd like to sleep with my boss's wife and then kill her with an icicle. I'm pretty sure she's interested, because whenever I've met her at Christmas parties, she always makes a point of saying 'Merry Christmas', which to me indicates a deep primordial longing. I'm thinking a mixtape of Latin love songs would be the best possible way to make this happen, but there's a problem: I don't know any Latin love songs! Help me out, guys."

Anonymous's question is met with much derision, the harshest of which are reserved for his choice of Mix-Tape Romantic Overture.

Sadly, just as our would-be-murderer, Anonymous, is about to have a change of heart--crushed as he is under a deluge of snark--our goodly neighbourhood moderator steps in, with the smallest of fonts, and instructs the following:


Jessamyn: Try to keep the answers to what Latin lovesongs would be appropriate to woo the guys' boss's wife.

Are all of Anonymous' contacts people who've used the alias before, or mainly just fans of the body of work?

It's a good one, but I decided long ago that if I were to get a sock puppet, it would have to be Your Mom.

Lots of people like to track Anonymous threads. I think my favorite, though, is when every answer that seems like it could be a "Best Answer" in an Anonymous thread is favorited by the same person. This always makes me suspect that this person is, in fact, the Anonymous answer (who else would systematically favorite all the useful answers in a thread?).

Word to the wise: I'm watching you!

I think everyone still agrees that we're better off with Anonypants doing the asking rather than the answering.

The list of most-used tags gives a really interesting picture of what people feel shy about. Is there a way to see how it looks beyond the top 10?

i say we pool our pennies and help anonymous buy himself a real name

I really and truly read that as "pool our penises." Perhaps more sleep is necessary.

I misread that as: "i saw we pool our penises and help anonymous buy himself a real name." I'm all for it!

I've never asked an anon question. I'm just amused by the human trainwreck that is AnonAsk, and I figured the easiest way to track it was adding that username as a contact.
