Looking for an old post

I'm looking for an old post that was like a three link post to customized in-flight safety cards that described an office revolution back to garden of eden-esque... Have no clue how to find it..

I know about this post because Tyler knows about this post.

So, hey, delmoi—how do you pronounce your username?
posted by cortex at 11:30 PM on February 17, 2007

I always thought it rhymed with framboise.

I always read it as delmoy but the way cortex pronounced it actually made much more sense after I heard it in the song. But potatoe/pohtahtoe, right folks?

Not meaning to derail, but Effigy2000, what's up with that star after your user name? Did I miss something? I can't click on it, and mousover does nothing! I feel like an unstarred sneech...

And so it begins again.

But framboise has an s on the end -- frambwaz. Though I know what you mean, that that's how I pronounce delmoi (delmwah).

cortex, that thread is from June 2003. Effigy joined in July 2005. And I thought the records (including your bardic tale) showed that even the users who used to have stars no longer have them. So really there's still quite a mystery.

Also, I need to get a life.

Even so, the question has come up a couple times since he got it.

(which I believe is what cortex was getting at)

Pretty much, mysterpigg. I think the gold stars are fun, but they're always going to raise eyebrows.

So what was the thread that contained that awesome image?
posted by i_am_joe's_spleen at 5:30 PM on February 18, 2007

It was this comment—the actual image is sadly missing.
posted by cortex at 6:11 PM on February 18, 2007

Poo. If there were more where that came from it would be a worthy FPP.

Have we crossed wires? I'm after the post with the safety card image, not Stan's star.
posted by i_am_joe's_spleen at 6:42 PM on February 18, 2007

I'm after the post with the safety card image

I remember seeing it on MeFi too, can't seem to find it. Bueller? Anyone?...Anyone?
posted by carsonb at 8:14 PM on February 18, 2007

I originally posted it in this comment which leads to a silly image thread on the Relapse Records board (some NSFW stuff in there).

You may have seen it elsewhere on mefi, though, the thread I posted it in was deleted after about 20 minutes on the front page.
