Here is a picture of a Lego man cleaning up Lego horse poop, because I do not currently have access to a camera and thus can not jump on this most awesome of bandwagons.

Here is a photo of me approving the men's room at the NoHo meetup. I also approve of Flashboy's approval of ColdChef's Jofus approval. I am, however, against soundofsuburbia's approval.

(I would like to recommend that all relevant photos be tagged with e.g. "stamp of approval" for the sake of the heck of it.)

I wasn't involved in the original AskMe, as I know jack shit about Korea, let alone Seoul, but very cool of you, nile_red, to throw this up as positive feedback to all the folks who helped. Would love to see more of this.

Okay, goddammit, I approveyproveprovetoo.

I don't approve of any of this and it's not just because you didn't fill the correct forms out, either, so don't fucking start with me again!
posted by dg at 1:49 PM on May 8, 2008

According to my friend Sara, the locks are to commemorate the love/friendship between two or any number of people, but everyone involved has to be there to do it, so you can't go by yourself to commemorate love.

I imagine if favorites were real outside of this computery wilderness, that's exactly what they would look like.

Oops - don't forget to remove the cruft inserted by MeFi Navigator when using Mefiquote is the lesson here, kids.

OK, so right now I don't quite recall why we were approving of stuff in the first place, but hey... we approvin'. It's all good. The main point I want to make right now is, the first Roxy Music album, Roxy Music, is an excellent soundtrack to this thread.

That is all.
