Let me be one of the first to say, "what the hell?"

I did smile at a couple of the images. Briefly. Somehow, I'm slightly ashamed.

(And if this post is a plea to bring back inline images, I can't possibly imagine a stronger argument against them.)

The second "m" link is not to be missed.

Normally I dislike one-link-per-letter posts, but in the last 'r' is this one is just priceless.

Mashpop culture? You're soaking in it!

WTF? If we still had the image tag, they couldn't be posted on the front page anyway.
Crap ass axegrinding.

Guess I don't get it.

There are web sites for people who get off on this sort of thing.

Re: the last period. My fantasy football team is called the Gotham City Dark Knights. I have been the commissioner of my league for sixteen years now. Next season, I will use that .gif, oh yes I will.

nj_s, On the one hand, 'You fail, fuckbag' seems appropriate. This belongs on MeTa. Not as in; I'm calling you out to MeTa, but this is clearly about you wanting <img> back, and pony requests belong in the grey.

On the other hand, I hadn't seen a bunch of these and some were quite amusing.

So we'll call it a wash. You neither win nor fail.

wtf is going on in this picture? Other then a dog trying to hump a little girl I mean. Why are the dudes in helmets running away?

I'm calling you out to MeTa, but this is clearly about you wanting back, and pony requests belong in the grey.

and yet, looking through the site, it's a fairly big collection of trendy images, which may or may not be your definition of "best of the web", but it's probably somebody's

and yes, the two legged horse rules

hmmm ... now THAT was odd ... something's supposed to be betweeen wanting and back but i can't tell you what it is because it would only turn up missing again but it's sort of like flash gordon's most major enemy without the m and probably not as merciless

I don't know about this image tag anymore. For one thing I fucking hate animal image macros, and it seems like thats all anyone wants to post anymore.

I appreciate hand-crafted photoshop, or an apropos pre-existing image, but simply grabing a cat picture of flickr, adding some cliche'd text in Aral and posting an 800x800 copy in a thread isn't exactly my idea of wit.

sure ... just go through a couple of months worth of metatalk and you'll find all sorts of ways to do that

but threatening to cut off your hand is probably your best bet

the only thing that could make this better would be if it had a David Lee Roth mp3 loop stuck behind it..... something from Fair Warning......

I'm pretty sure that animation completely redeemed this thread.

I have no doubts about that, Mitrovarr! Thank you, fungible! and Cyriak!
