Hey, Metafilter's in some card game. Specifically, there's a glimpse of this thread, and you have to guess the site.

interrobang, he's not a number, he's a human being.

He's not a human being, he's a very naughty boy!

Design a collectible card game with one that shows 4 high traffic websites, and get oodles of free advertising by manipulating them into mentioning it. Ingenious!

I dig Optimus Prime and not Galvatron,
I dig "The Leader of the Pack" and "Da-Doo-Run-Run"

I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! Nor am I alphabetized. ?! ≠ interrobang, mischief.

Whoa, alpabetized. I've never thought of it that way, man. You're so right. Good on you for breaking outta the system.

That would be telling.

"By hook or by crook...." Anybody? C'mon, let's keep this going.

The fact that you won't explain. . . . explains everything.
posted by ?! at 5:54 AM on February 2, 2006

?! has it. This appears to be one of those self-consciously clever, enigmatic things you are supposed to stumble across, curiously explore, mull over, become obssessed with, and then feel like you've been inducted into a secret society. I'm sure it's a lot of fun. There were times in my life that I might have really gone for this. But right now I haven't got the time, and since people would rather crytpically enjoy their insider status than give a succinct explanation, I'm going to forget all about it.

Though I'd suggest those confused by a future thread do a search on one or two of the quotes. Sometimes an explanation takes away the fun.
posted by ?! at 5:55 PM on February 2, 2006

Now that I've Googled, I know that I really don't have time for this.
