MetaTalk

Every so often in a thread, somebody will post a comment consisting of Metafilter: [clip from a previous comment] that is sort of summing up a Metafilter sort of attitude. They're usually amusing. However, I can discern no pattern. Different members do it. Are these archived anywhere? Is there a rhyme or reason to them? Can anyone do them?

Is there a way to see an aggregate of all the silly one-liners where someone takes a comment from higher up in a thread and posts "Metafilter: Blah blah blah blah"? I tried the search page with the query "metafilter:" but it just dropped the colon and returned everything that had the word metafilter in it. This is probably a futile request but I thought maybe someone either had a hack or was collecting them offline somewhere for his/her own amusement.

Metafilter: the plastic.com it's OK to like.

It seems like metafilter has had the same few slogans on the main page for a long time. People always post funny suggestions for mefi taglines in the the threads, but they're never adopted.

My request: Matt, geton the ball and and some new taglines.

Riffola: "I think that line should be on the new MeFi tee :)"

It seems like just about every thread someone has a new suggestion for a MeFi tagline or tee-shirt (and yes, I could have added a memepool style link to one with every word there). Anyway, why not vent the best ones here? Or do they all not-ready for prime-time, appearing once in a thread and disappearing forever?

I've been thinking of doing some MetaFilter t-shirts for a while now, just for shits and giggles (and to give away to frequent and eloquent posters to MetaFilter), but I need a slogan on the front or back. Anyone got any ideas? "It's your web, log it" is pretty lame. Can anyone think of something better?
