This post was deleted for the following reason: I freakin' hate it when I go to delete a double and some has already snagged like the perfect deletion reason. It's like, hey, thanks, DAD. -- cortex (more inside)
'Cause I'm insatiably curious about behind the scenes stuff: has this really happened that often? Can any mods (or users) share any other examples of a user pointing to a double or triple or what have you with an "ooh, shoulda thought of that" comment?

No, seriously, that's not my style.
I was really wondering if there had been any other deletion reasons that stood out for the mods that they they could have used, or built off of, or something like that-- it never occurred to me that something could've happened, because cortex, mathowie and jessamyn have had some pretty amusing deletion reason explanations before.

Jess's deletion reasons tend to be more pragmatic almost to the point of hectoring. Matt's deletion reasons are usually pretty terse. It's cortex who tries to be a deletion reason artiste.

The mechanisms behind accessing deleted threads at will is beyond me -- is it more obvious to RSS subscribers? I've always just given deleted thread a look once in a while for some lulz. Perhaps one of our esteemed meta-list compilers can take it as a project.

It is a documented behind-the-scenes fact that at least four of the kings in question are avid furries who were living out their previously impossible fantasies before being retransmogrified by your efforts; it is a testament to royal graciousness that they refrained from expressing their dismay to you (to say nothing of punishing you) for returning them to the banality of humandom.
The fact that when you show up to ruin their happiness you are wearing a raccoon outfit is really just a cruel final twist of the knife.

I'd just like to point out that I like the hugs.
No, really. I don't get them very often. The other day I was walking through the city, however, and those crazy kids who give out the free hugs were standing there, amongst the flotsam of humanity that is a late Tuesday morning in a sunny Union Square. They were holding small signs above their heads and shouting for all the world to hear that they had plenty of free hugs to give away.
It was one of those split seconds where I could have kept my eyes stoically on my path through the bodies ahead of me, but instead I met the eyes of the smallish Asian kid with a hand-painted tee shirt. He smiled, and hugged me, and held on a second or two longer than is normal, at least for the particular brand of American hugs I'm familiar with. It was the first time I had been really hugged right, by anybody, in months.
I know we're kinda jokey about it, but I think that hugs are important, and I'm glad we have them. That is all.

Note, for example, that when returning a wand to a king while wearing a Hammer Brothers outfit, the king is so overwhelmed by his dismay at being "rescued" that he cannot help but ask (for naught, too) for ownership of your clever beetle-carapace outfit.
It is, notably, the retainers, and not the kings, who request your assistance in retrieving the wands. Do you think each king's speech was some extemporaneous thing? No, nor willingly given—trained into them, rather, by a court they understood to paradoxically rule them.
Bowser as fulfiller of wishes, as Leary-esque liberator; Mario as unquestioning enforcer of the status quo. No wonder the princess keeps oops! not managing to avoid being kidnapped.

Figures. The govt would probably outlaw it due to potential liability within city limits. Or they'd make people wear masks and goggles, and latex gloves. Who wants to hug that? It would be like hugging a dentist who's about to stick a needle in your mouth.
Maybe we could just make 'em dress up as fuzzy animals, those guys get away with hugging all the time.

Also, deletion reasons are some of the best entertainment on the site. Having had a few of my posts deleted in the past, I'm an avowed paranoid thread-babysitter. Recently I accidentally posted a double, and Cortex's humor on the matter was just as much an affirmation as if I hadn't fucked up in the first place.

I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
Yeah, that's right, it's getting all Shel Silverstein up in this bitch.

I thought about a shrug booth, but just couldn't get up the oomph for it.

You sluggardly mugs, tugging on pugs and adjusting your rugs,
I need ear-plugs and a jug from which to glug-glug drugs; instead I'll just shrug.

I can't recall any specifics off the top of my head, though. Also, Matt and Jess usually just go with "previously" or something similarly staid, so they may not have so much of an opinion on it.
Also, this is kind of a silly metatalk question, but you can have a hug anyway. Also, there's a good chance some people will yell at me now re: jokey deletion reasons, but they are also welcome at the Hug Booth.
