By the way, what's your take on crop circles? posted by iconomy at 6:48 AM on May 9, 2002
And so the day has come that truth is stranger than MetaFilter.
Do I get any props for being the first one to take the idea seriously? posted by yhbc at 7:04 AM on May 9, 2002
Very good eye, Kevin, do you have any background in a visual field? I did not get that at all from that graphic. posted by bittennails at 7:04 AM on May 9, 2002
Kev, there's this smoking man at the door who wants to talk to you. Says he's with the government. Are you in? posted by jonmc at 7:04 AM on May 9, 2002
I am amazed. Good call. Them silly art students...funny, I just married one last year. posted by adampsyche at 7:19 AM on May 9, 2002
I just wanna thank my laywer, my agent, my parents *sob*.... I hope I've opened some doors for other MeFi'ers *sob some more* ..
Now the smiley emoticon can pull double duty, meaning either "Just kidding!" or "You make me want to go on a weekend-long cross-country bombing spree."

Sure boss, it'll be done in a jiffy! :) posted by Shadowkeeper at 8:07 AM on May 9, 2002
Well, this did after all come from the same group of participants that solved the Kaycee-Nicole mystery. Methinks Scotland Yard and the Mystery Machine would do well to consult the MeFi denizens. posted by ed at 12:50 PM on May 9, 2002

To be fair its also the site that promoted i.e. fell for, the Kaycee story. I don't even think the person who figured it out was a member here either. posted by skallas at 12:58 PM on May 9, 2002
Update:
I just got interviewed by the Omaha World Herald re: my comments on MetaFilter. This is getting weirder by the minute. posted by KevinSkomsvold at 1:39 PM on May 9, 2002

Kevin: I know the gang over at Fark were making the observation, too - but do you know if yours was first? Did you get any idea from the reporter? posted by yhbc at 2:05 PM on May 9, 2002
Hmm. Not sure. I'm sure other people besides me made the observation but frankly I was a little rattled when he called. Didn't think to ask. posted by KevinSkomsvold at 2:24 PM on May 9, 2002
Excellent, good on you, Kevin. As we would say back home, eeeenjoooy, yaar. posted by bittennails at 4:43 PM on May 9, 2002

Upon further review..... I scooped Fark (FWIW).

Well, FWIW, I still give you the boobie prize.

A "chat room"?
A *#!##*@!&%! "CHAT ROOM" !!!!!????? posted by yhbc at 7:50 PM on May 9, 2002
Oh, okay - sorry. It's just that my wife is always asking me "are you on your little chat room again?" and I have to bite my tongue with her - but a newspaper ... aaah.
Kudos again, Kevin; at least they spelled your name right! posted by yhbc at 7:59 PM on May 9, 2002
yhbc- my better half knows enough to refer to MeFi as a weblog, although It was interesting listening to her try to explain what that is exactly, to her 84-year-old mother tonight. She even knows a few of you by name. So technically I suppose dong_resin, eyeballkid, iconomy and unclefes are houshold names now. Yay!!
and Kevin, now that you're famous, don't make us limbo under the velvet rope to meet you, OK. posted by jonmc at 8:50 PM on May 9, 2002
Noting a lack of mathematical prowess, Skomsvold said they will remain unsolved.
You rock. Free Kevin! posted by Neale at 10:00 PM on May 9, 2002
Great, now Helder is gonna start mailing you letters about "our shared psychic connection." posted by skallas at 10:35 PM on May 9, 2002
perhaps Luke read the thread in MeFi and thought it was a better responce than "I like things that go boom!" posted by DBAPaul at 5:02 AM on May 10, 2002

I don't wanna be a household name!
I need my fuckn' street cred, man!
I didn't name myself after smegma to play to grannies in the fly-over states, damnit! posted by dong_resin at 5:59 AM on May 10, 2002
Don't worry, it's not like "dong_resin" rolls off the tongue. posted by Zora Neale Hurston at 5:22 PM on May 11, 2002
