"my favorite sex blogs" was not my favorite, could you fix that "everybody's" part?

I think that the website you have linked to in this FPP is a lame piece of shit, psmealey. Sorry to be so blunt.

Practically all of thoses lists can be used to make a "MetaFilter: ______________" joke.

Wow. This isn't just an "XYZ sux, amirite?!" post - it's, like, 6 of 'em rolled into one. Blergh.

How can you tell if your mefi post will be any good:

1. It is a double. If someone else thought it was good then it probably is. Post it.

2. It is your own project. If you did it then it must good. Post it.

3. It is about fascinating topics like circumcision, fatness, politics, sports or blogging. People love to hear what everyone thinks about these topics. Best if you also conclude your post with "Discuss". Post it.

4. It is about your favourite band. Post it and reap the mehwind.

5. It is a list. Everything is better in a list. First, it is the universal language of powerpoint. Second, lists items are like bullets fired right into the reader's brain. Third, people like you to count for them. Fourth, 1. Post it. 2. Post it. 3. Post it.

Are you guys this smug in real life? The only thing worse than the occasional dud of a FPP is the slew of assholes that point out its duddery.

Yeah, well, whatever. They can't all be winners. I guess I was due for a stinker.

It is funny, however, that so many people were so moved to register their meh-ness.

MetaFilter: it's like fertilizer for self-importance.

As opposed to your one-link newsfilter post on Manuel Noriega yesterday. Now that was sheer brilliance and originality at work.

From the "this site" link:

Ways to ask for anal sex

by "bagodope"

Introduction

Boys like to hit it in the Hershey Highway, but they don't always know how to pop that delicate question. This is a list of strategies for popping that awkward question.


1 It's a natural method of contraception

I was going to quote that one, too, jason's_planet, but I ultimately decided I didn't want to be the first person to admit I'd clicked on a list of ways to ask for anal sex...
posted by dersins at 8:33 AM on July 21, 2007


Ha! Oh, well. I'm a perv and everybody knows it so I'm happy to take the bullet for you, dersins.

Here's a rated-G one:

THINGS NOBODY CAN LIKE

hhhhhh!! blah!!

when you use listerine to gargle and a little goes down your throat and burns out your eyeballs

girls who hate girls

the type of girls who do not like any others girls (especially pretty ones or skinny ones) unless they are in their cirlce...

mushy bananas

when you buy bananas and dont eat them and they become mush--and you pick them up and they fall apart.

FYI - "Worst Pick-up Lines" is the theme of tomorrow's New York Times Magazine Crossword Puzzle.

The sex blogs don't have any pix or streaming flash vid. So, not my favorite.

I liked it. It gave me quite a few laughs.

Me too, Gnostic. 's why I posted it. A little lite cheesiness for a Saturday morning. Can't please everyone.

"Hi. You'll do." That's the most effective pickup line one could try on me: I'm not likely to believe flattery from strangers (except I already know I have pretty eyes) and the usual strategems make me think the picker-upper is after something besides a bit o' rub-a-dub.

C'mon baby, tell me again how sycophantic I am!

Wow. "Things nobody can like" is just staggering. I honestly don't know how to react to something like that.

Hey jessamyn, I know this isn't a library, but... I'm checkin' you out.

From the depressing "Things nobody can like" list:

you see people in traffic next to you that smoke in their cars in the summer heat with all their windows rolled up

This is something to complain about? If their windows are rolled up, the smoke isn't getting into my car.

Regarding the pickup lines, let me just say...

"I have big feet"

Wouldn't that be subject to inspection? Oh, well, can always wear extra large "falsies".
posted by telstar at 5:04 PM on July 21, 2007


Hell no.

This is the worst pickup line ever. (NSFW - Language and Nudity) It's from 'Shark Attack 3'. It's known worldwide as 'the line'.
posted by WinnipegDragon at 5:49 PM on July 21, 2007




Wait.

Those were the worst pickup lines?

oh dear.

The list of things nobody can like needs to include 'walking about your house in bare feet and standing on an upturned plug.'
