Oh holy fucking oolong what the hell are those purple cupid things infesting my screen?! I think you forgot to add the pixies=yes background music to complete it. I'm putting this in 'bugs' because it bugs me. *cries* oh I'm so lonely.

It is a bug. I have yet to see any little purple cupid things because I now get an error accessing the blue.

Well, Stan, you completely ignored me in the Gentleman Wooing Instructions thread, so you have only yourself to blame!
posted by widdershins at 11:32 AM on February 14, 2003


The little purple things scare me. But Stan & Pretty have been brought together by them, so they're good at their job.

Now I'm gonna post my own MetaTalk thread about this outrage!

A bit Geocities-esque isn't it? All it needs is a cheesy in-line midi.

Didn't mathowie do that last year also?
posted by internal at 11:35 AM on February 14, 2003


Seet merciful crap! That was just awful. The only thing that would make a post that freakin' long any worse would have been to make irritating little cupids fly all over my screen. Which he did.

Let's all agree to never do anything like that again.

old-timers will remember them from last year.

i think the insane cupids go rather well with y2karl's rilke post. for a moment, i thought maybe they were part of the post.

Don't say that - when y2karl figures out how to add animated gifs to his posts, that's the day all our heads explode.

man you guys are uptight.
posted by mathowie (staff) at 11:49 AM on February 14, 2003


I'm uptight? I just offered to sacrifice my heterosexuality to comfort another.
posted by Pretty_Generic at 11:54 AM on February 14, 2003


PG, you'll be uptight untill your heterosexuality is sacrificed in fact, and not in possibility.

Just sayin'. Oh, and I want pictures. I think Stan's hot. ~giggles with girlish glee~

And I said I love you mathowie. I wasn't being snarky!!

Or at least dancing smart bombs and Cruise missles?

I say "Gentleman" because except for Matt we're all scoundrels here, so there you go.
posted by 111 at 12:10 PM on February 14, 2003


Every time you piss mathowie off, he kills a cherub. Are you all happy? Good. Hmph.
posted by WolfDaddy at 12:12 PM on February 14, 2003


i love the cherubs. i was concerned this am -- no cherubs on kottke = terrorists have won, but matt came through and i can rest easily for another year.
posted by heather at 12:16 PM on February 14, 2003


I think they're cute. I look forward to the holiday tricks here. I also think it's cute that Samsonov14 thought they were part of y2karl's post.

I think you should just come out and tell us that you love us, matt. Come on, give us some lovin'.

Or you could email us all individually. Your choice.

Well, he obviously doesn't love me; I haven't a clue what you're all taliking about.

Okay, now I'm getting paranoid. What are you talking about? I don't see anything.
posted by timeistight at 1:23 PM on February 14, 2003


Dear Stan, if you are lonely, might I suggest lowercase letters and fewer exclamation points? Chicks dig guys with good grammar.

There are five little matt-cupids flying around at the top of this page. Go to the top of the page and refresh it. So cute! I captured me one.
posted by iconomy at 1:25 PM on February 14, 2003


timeistight, if you're using a modern browser, you should see the cupids look something like this here:



Yes that's my head. And yes, they will stay on this single thread forever.

Hee. Hee. That's great. I caught one too - I wonder if I'll get three wishes now, or a pot of gold?
posted by yhbc at 1:28 PM on February 14, 2003


Well, Matt trumped me as per usual.
posted by yhbc at 1:30 PM on February 14, 2003


Yeah, I saw them right after i posted. I guess I needed to refresh or something. Either that, or mathowie took mercy on me.
posted by timeistight at 1:30 PM on February 14, 2003


*cries* Geez, Matt, don't rub it in or anything. Even on MeFi, I'm not safe! *goes off in a corner and mopes.*

Big improvement over your usual wardrobe, I must say.

I ♥ mathowie and all mefi! Happy ♥ day everyone!
posted by Lynsey at 2:05 PM on February 14, 2003


Matt, just so's you know, it wasn't the flying cupids that were breaking my browser. It was Karl's mouseovers. Still sometimes happens in the thread in question.

I'm just going to keep reloading and reloading this thread over and over to savor the purple love.

But it's the 15th here! All the sweet lovin' is finished already!

(Oh, and congrats to your daughter, quonsar. Timely!)

It must be because I'm drunk. But I fail to see any humor in this.
posted by crasspastor at 11:23 PM on February 14, 2003


Hey, Matt, thanks for sharing them on this page... my place in the space-time-continuum sucks, and I miss everything, always. Glad I could still get my bit of purple love...

So many curmudgeons!

I think it's great. In that creepy, oh-my-god-it-burns way. But I like that.
