I try to do this every year in the days before Seafair and watch the Blue Angels practice. Alas I cannot make these days cause of work, but it sounds like fun!

Got to be Shultzy's, no? It's right where the poster is staying and got a promise of love from us last time. Plus a guy I know works there, and surely he'll pick up the tab for the entire group.

Dammit, dammit, dammit, it was the spot I wanted and I couldn't make it. More stories, please?

I'll definitely try and make it, most evenings are free. Since Sunset is closing and Mike's is nearby that's a good selection, but I simply must insist on a future Seattle meet-up at Shultzy's. That is a GREAT place to meet, excellent beer selction and great sausages.

Couldn't agree more with this callout. This is a tough topic for people who hold the mainstream view on sexual dynamics in relationships. I also really disliked the pejorative editorializing in this comment. I thought the "man-whore" comment was totally uncalled for as well as this quote: " Look, the point of the sexual aspect of a relationship is that it is intimate. It is private. It is between the two of you, exclusively." Oh yeah? Who fucking says?... [more]

Has anyone heard of this new super secret website where the best old time ex-mefites are hanging out and having the best discussions ever?

You won't find Quonsar there.

I feel bad for my comment in there...it just rubbed me the wrong way that I saw it seconds before on Drudge then it was on the front page with just the one link and nothing to support it. Then all the tags, down the road somebody will look for a serious discussion on alzheimers and that thread will pop up.

The OP mentions his grandfather further down and that's why he has an interest in it - I would urge him to take the topic a bit more seriously and devote time to... [more]

BB - don't take it personally. Really, I know it's hard sometimes but we've all been there, sometimes multiple times. Just learn from it and take a chance again in the future.

This is actually quite important to a whole lot of the members.

Yes! That's exactly what I'm asking for. Maybe I should have posted this under "Feature requests"? Douchebag.

I wasn't suggesting that Metafilter be that entity, but that some members of Metafilter might be interested in making up that collective.

A good time was had by all. Good to meet new people and see old ones. Thanks for the pics corpse. We should have taken a picture of Grinders' beer cooler. They had a bottle beer selection that would rival any bar in Seattle. The last half of my workday passed rapidly with a very nice porter buzz and a full belly. Cheers!

There's one you missed, Cortex, and it only works on certain people.

I made a crap, throwaway, off-topic comment in AskMe pretty recently. Not vulgar or over-the-top, basically just dumb, superfluous, and didn't answer the question.

An hour later it had been deleted. And that made me feel stupid. And for me, feeling stupid is a strong, strong disincentive to posting crap.

You know...I really hate to call people out myself, and I strive to always read Metafilter with a grain of salt and a thick skin. But this fucking guy, Gnostic Novelist, is a FUCKING PRICK and needs a FUCKING ASS KICKING.

soundofsuburbia - Aes has a new release coming out in the next week or two called "None Shall Pass". Can't wait to hear it. "Pac-Man" is one of favs of all time too.

I hadn't been on today, so I missed the fact that there was a post on what is, I agree, huge news. Were the posts any good or were they single-link newsfilters with no back story? Sportsfilter is having the same discussion right now about whether or not to leave a post about Vick.

On preview, I see SpoFi also deleted that post. I think it's a bad decision myself.

Yerfatma - yeah I noticed it "came back"? Did it ever disappear or maybe I was looking at a cached page. Anyhoo. Fuck Michael Vick.

I think we need to finalshizzie this dizzie. We probs need to select a place that will allow a reservation. I think they have always topped out at 15, reserving space for 10 might suffice. I vote Elysian.

I've been thinking about my dad all morning. I remember when he drove me to the schoolyard the day I was ready to launch my first rocket. He stayed in the car and watched while I lugged all my stuff, the rocket, launch pad, remote control, etc. down to the middle of the soccer field. It took me awhile to set it up, attaching the ignitors and stuff. I am not at all mechanical and it was a great challenge for me. Finally I fired that bad boy up into the air. It came down with the streamer... [more]

Didn't even wait for the body to get cold.

How about you react to death in your way, and let the poster react to death in their way?

It's the STEPdad that died, and THEIR MOTHER they're looking out for. The conduct of the poster is nobodies fucking business.
