I freely admit that this post of mine was not outstanding. But, even though Sandwichgirl had been linked to on MeFi before, that was over two years ago, and this was something unusual even for her.

unusual for her != best of the web.

it was 3 boring pictures and a bunch of comments about how 'hot' she was and 'i have a crush on you' now.

unless....you do have a crush on her D: /me starts unsubstantiated rumors

Is this just a way to keep it alive on the gray?

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto: deleted posts often need clarification.

Admins, is it really, truly, ACTUALLY preferable for you to recieve an email from those contesting deletion? Because personal letters would almost seem like more of an unwanted invasion.

"This post was deleted for the following reason: we have seen sandwichgirl here before."

no clarification needed it seems.

Sandwichgirl could do with eating a few less sandwiches.

This shouldn't have been posted even if it hadn't been a double. Three pictures of a girl doing cartwheels? WTF?

Also, don't fucking complain about your fucking deleted post.

For me? Yes. I mean if there is actually a question. If peopel just want to vent or get other opinions, which is valid (and not saying that is or is not happening here) then they should take it to MetaTalk.

I am having such an Eternal September feeling lately, is anyone else? Fun fact: I went to college with the guy credited as coining that phrase.

now that i read the actual comments in the deleted thread, the last one almosts saves the whole thing, I think.

Is it similar to the Why The Fuck Are People, Both Posters And Commenters, n00bs And Oldtimers, Being Such Ignorant Whiny Ass Douche Bags, Almost Willfully So, That I Want To Punch Them In The Mouth, Hard feeling I've had lately?

Because if so, yes.

Edmund Hillary who is older than your grandfather just treked to antarctica for kicks is badass, interesting, and just fucking amazing. Hipster livejournaler doing a cartwheel in the prime of her life in the cold? Not so much. Just be a good boy and post another 'this is kewl, me too' post on LJ and call it a day.

How dare someone post something they saw on the web they thought was cool.

Metafilter fucking sucks.

Wild talk from a little-used bit of punctuation. Feeling neglected?

You must have me confused with Alan Asterism.

I'm surprised nobody said "Yawn. Try again when she does it naked." or something like that.

I guess the "I'd defrost it and hit it" comment was about as close as we'd get.

I'll admit to coming across this very thread yesterday when contemplating a Sandwitchgirl post of my own. I'd found her years back at Big Dead Place and was happy to see she was 2.0-ing it up with a near-realtime journal of her foolishness in the extreme downunder. And she is hella hawter than she used to be. Also, since drstein &c seem obsessed...
