Hmmm?

Usually they give themselves away by immediately making their first favorite, a comment they themselves made.

My mom is double-tufted, Scotch-Garded, and has a concealable tray table.
I call her "Nauga-Mommy".

I added them to my contacts and I saw: "This post was deleted for: doesn't link to any other MetaFilter members. "

Remain seated, please. Bring me some pancakes and a whore.
posted by loquacious at 11:14 PM on January 6, 2007

Dude.

DUDE.

DUUUDE.

I was like, "how come they deleted someone's profile and substituted the username with the deletion reason?" And then I was like, "wtf." And now I'm like, "hey, that's a clever name, kinda confusing when seen in the favorites list."

And then I laughed at metatalk and people with their weird thread things. Pancakes and recliners and whores? Shall I whip out the lawn chair and order some crepes and settle down with a Playboy since I can't afford a prostitute?


*takes a shot of rum and looks at the gray sea*

ARRRR. Life is too short for this tomfoolery.





I have no rum.

The movie's OK, just don't expect it to live up to the book.
posted by languagehat at 11:14 AM on January 7, 2007

Also, the sockpuppet in question is not me, just to be clear. Now if the other 50,000-odd members follow my lead, we'll have a very long thread that proves nothing of consequence.

There's a lady in spandex and gold sandals at the door, says she's here for a Mr Low Kwayshers. Shall I let her in? She's got maple syrup and a tickling stick, and a weird squint in her eye.

I had an email offering five dollars if I just went away. It was from user/1. YOU WILL NEVER CRUSH MY HEAD! While your offer remains so low. In other news: is BunnyCup having her period?

Well, when you say it like that, yeah, it sounds stupid.
posted by yhbc at 3:47 PM on January 7, 2007

No more stupid than at least 50% of threads that get started here so, at worst, you are average.

Is there any other way to say it?

Well, he/she/it/they/energyentity paid the $5, right? I think that's all that matters in the long run. FIVE DOLLARS!

posted by eyeballkid at 10:00 PM on January 7, 2007

yhbc : Well, when you say it like that, yeah, it sounds stupid.

I just calls 'em like I sees 'em my man.

Thing is, I have a vested interest in Tpwdf: continuing to lurk and choose favorites. He/she chose one of mine to be part of the the 19 you remarked on, and I will defend to the death (or at least to the seriously verbally redressed) that person's right to continue to mark my comments as their favorites.

[On reading this post, my first guess was that it was a sock puppet, but in thinking about it, my best estimate puts it as a long time lurker who finally bought an account and is nervous about posting. Which if true, I would encourage him/her to look at my posting history: it took me years to 'come out of my shell'. People on Mefi can be bitchy and snarky and rude. But most of the time it's polite and reasonable discourse. I know Matt says the site is about the links, but I have always disagreed with that. The links are great, but I come here for the conversation. So, Tpwdf:, if you are lurking out there, don't be afraid to speak up.]

[I mean worst case scenario you say something really stupid and are called out... again, which gives you a great opportunity to flame out in a really loud an spectacular way.]
