Dammit... I was in mid-comment when the post got deleted. Now no one will hear my witty quip about Metafilter's one giant collective ass.

I shall have to be satisfied being the antepenultimate commenter, but a worthy opponent can only help hone my last-commenting-fu.
I'll get you yet, poppo, and your little dog, too!!

So that's email from beautifulatrocities, q?

"jeff" was shaping up to be a bit of a troll, anyway.

Such a waste of a good domain name...

"on G" ? I thought the net had corrupted me with perverse slang and such, but I don't know what that means.

Is G some kind of drug that I am too much of a square to know about?

I got an e-mail from quonsar once. Would you like to touch the hem of my robe? It cures scrofula.
posted by PinkStainlessTail at 1:51 PM on December 8, 2005

um, I'm pretty sure anyone anointed by quonsar doesn't cure anything...

I GOT EMAILS FROM quonsar AND NOW I SEE ALL SECRETS OF UNIVERSE

I got an email from Quonsar about something I wrote and then I didn't know how to answer it because I wasn't sure whether it was sarcasm or not.

Because I am teh dumbxor.

I thought quonsar was bald (is bald?). Maybe it's the hat.

have you ever noticed that no one who so blatently violates the guidelines EVER comes back to the threads?
posted by shmegegge at 7:54 PM on December 8, 2005

I have hot and cold running quonsar in three different text chat mediums.

It gives me special powers like "tastes like rancid pickle juice", "insta-clench", "insta-un-clench" as well as old-time favorites such as "Chilled three bean salad of woe, doom and otherwise destructiveness!"

He hardly ever answers any of my messages, though. But little does he know I'm slowly collecting his life force and saving it up to trade it in for a pair of roller skates.

poppo I couldn't believe you won. It made me realize that my own pessimism, of which I'm all too aware, really is crippling my life. Congratulations.

"Yeah, Row v. Wade was Bush's Katrina evacuation plan."

klang, that was, bar none, the funniest damn thing i'd seen on mefi in ages. no sarcasm involved. it's still making me laugh!

"Yeah, Row v. Wade was Bush's Katrina evacuation plan."

Well, that dosn't make any sense at all, so I can see why you'd find it funny.

Row, like row a boat. Wade, like wade in the water.

Hey, at least it's a plan.

Now we need a name for Bush's plan for victory in Iraq.

Omie, for what it's worth you once also affected me positively as well. Paraphrasing: I called someone a Nazi and you said I was an idiot and you were right. So let's call it even.

in case the above reads sarcastically: it's not, i'm serious
posted by poppo at 6:55 AM on December 9, 2005

We were even before, because as I recall you were going through a tough process at the time.
