Just when I thought I'd seen it all, this guy makes the Star Wars kid look normal.

Um, yikes. I don't think that would look good on any guy. Still, it's hard to put lightsaber sounds to a thong, so it's not quite as funny.

This guy should hook up with Ass Chaps Man and fight crime or something. First, though, we need to give him a cool name like 'slingshot.'

For anyone who's wondering, this is probably NSFW, and definitely not safe for PERL class breaktime. Thanks Macboy.

I wouldn't say it's NSFW. There's no nudity. It's definatly not safe to get caught gawking at it. If anyone walks in, just pretend you're trying to claw your eyes out.

scarabic — Wed, 30 Jul 2003 15:15:38 -0800

I wouldn't say it's NSFW. There's no nudity. You want to explain that to my boss? Just to review, NSFW means questionable if glanced at from across the room, not free of nudity upon close examination. When in doubt, it's a nice courtesy.

Here's a MeTa thread, in lieu of debating it here.

And can we please use our heads? Why the hell would you be surfing this site during work hours if you don't want your boss to see it in the first place? Simply amazing... get a hobby scarabic.

I wish the girl behind me hadnt seen that pop up on my screen. She's cute, the pic wasn't safe for anyone. (also an aol pic). Macboy, sometimes you're not at work and surfing where you'd be embarrased to see aninhg non-cool. (@siggraph)

ARGH. BLAH. UGH. I knew what was coming next (the pic from the back) and STILL I had to click on it and see it. it's like looking at a car wreck.. I've now officially lost my appetite. Why lime green? Think about THE CHILDREN!

Overreact some more, Macboy. Yeah, I surf this site at work, unapologetically. And yeah, I opened the link. And yes, I frantically, quickly, desperately closed it as quickly as possible, furtively glancing over my shoulder. Am I simply amazing too? Or am I amazing in a much more complex way? BTW, about the pictures...what the fucking fuck?!

Simply amazing... get a hobby scarabic. Well, so much for "nice courtesy." Here's a practical appeal: It would be less effort for you to append a simple (NSFW?) label than for me to pull myself up out of my indigent torpor and find something else to do. When in doubt, label. If you find this principle amazing, perhaps I'm not the only one in a torpor.

What happens when I visit http://www.maniahill.com/ and see "Funny Shit" at the top? My boss and girlfriend didn't think that was too funny. Nice double standard. If I see skin its NSFW but swearing is just fine.

By: scarabic

scarabic — Thu, 31 Jul 2003 10:55:59 -0800

Wrong. 1) The text "funny shit" is perfectly hamrless if glanced at across the room. See above definition. 2) I didn't FPP my blog on MetaFilter without a warning. Fuck you very much. I'm done now.

By: ghastlyfop

ghastlyfop — Thu, 31 Jul 2003 13:34:35 -0800

First off, this was one of the lamest, most inane posts I've ever seen on Metafilter. You really thought that pictures of some dude in a revealing woman's bathing suit was worth bringing to people's attention? It's neither shocking nor funny enough to be of anyone's interest. And you're asking scarabic to get a hobby? Really, chill out, Macboy. You posted something cheesed-out, lame-as-hell, and TOTALLY NSFW, and then pulled out some holier-than-thou, smug-ass work-ethic shit when called on it.

Macboy — Thu, 31 Jul 2003 17:40:22 -0800

You didn't find that funny poopfop? I'm so sorry, let's discuss global warming, national unemployment or Neil Young. Get a hobby and a sense of humor nutsack.

Macboy, don't be a muppet. Own your stupid shit or shut it. Everyone makes mistakes. Belligerently defending a clear mistake is unseemly.
