Madison's sending a bike polo team, but unfortunately I'm not able to tag along. Please say hi if you see them!

I'm a cheesehead, but I'm in Madison. The 9th probably won't work for me, but who knows. Milwaukee has traditionally sent healthy contingents to our meetups, so maybe Madison should return the favor.

Looks like I won't be able to make it, I'll be traveling to the west of the state that weekend. Have fun all!

Since I'm a paunchy dude with a desk job, it'd work best if I went as Robert Hanssen.

I sincerely wish I could be there.

The advantage of using the acronym is that all the people who will be there will instantly recognize it, and you immediately lose all the lazy stupid people who would inevitably sully the meetup with their presence.

It's win-win.

I think the sidebar in AskMe as currently constituted is a big fat waste of real estate.

Nobody asked you.

The zeitgeist will always find a place on Metafilter, no matter how irritating or embarrassing you believe it to be.

My suggestion: relax, or stop reading Metafilter. Everyone knows Metatalk is far more entertaining, and with fewer annoying links.

Anybody have some restrictions we could schedule around?

Yeah, I can't go. Schedule away.

Thank you for totally ruining my lame music joke, poindexter.

It needed to happen.

maybe this is going to force a policy about YouTube

Maybe that's the point. Brilliant post.

I don't give a rat's ass about Kurt Cobain, but Chris Novoselic is a hell of a bassist.

I still maintain that Dave Grohl's tremendous drumming is key to that band.

When you typed this post into the meta posting form, what did you have in mind?

I think what's generally happening in this thread is what he had in mind. Though I could be wrong.

Looks like I was right.

I can't believe I've been looking at interrobang's junk for six long years.

I so have dibs on a spot in his entourage, when he hits the big time.

But if they are intended to lampoon users as opposed to making points

They're intended to do both at the same time. Seen here and here.

Holy shit that's fucked up. Here's hoping she gets help.

Under budget?
posted to MetaTalk by rocketman at 9:07 AM on September 15, 2006

I participated in two groups this time around, and sent out 10 cds. I've received only 4.

Some people say you're not getting any CDs because the ones you sent out suck.

Maybe it's you who needs to fulfill a commitment. A commitment to quality.

I've been completely, totally vindicated.

I'll try to be there, but can make no promises. I've got a lot going on this week.

I await the return of the curse of ken lay's ghost.

That map is still wrong - now the other bank is marked. Heh.

I'll try to make it, but I'm getting married on the 26th, so I might be elbow-deep in in-laws and ennui by that point. So no promises.

But interrobang will be in town, and that's as good a reason as any to drink to puke and puke to live.
posted to MetaTalk by rocketman at 10:08 AM on July 31, 2006

I'll try to make it, no guarantees. If the location is farther west than campus, I won't be there.

Not a bad idea. I've heard Verona is full of sad, lonely losers. Perhaps a Metafilter Meetup would be just the thing!
posted to MetaTalk by rocketman at 7:32 PM on July 12, 2006

I'm still interested, but it would appear that we should quickly set a time and place and announce this again, on MetaTalk's front page.

Though I could email the handful of Madison-area MeFites who might be interested.
posted to MetaTalk by rocketman at 10:59 AM on July 17, 2006

I will not show up on the 25th, and interrobang prolly can't make it either.

The 24th might work for me, and the 28th would work as well.
posted to MetaTalk by rocketman at 2:03 PM on July 20, 2006

Let's make it the 24th. We could meet at Woody-Anne's.
posted to MetaTalk by rocketman at 7:34 AM on July 24, 2006

Woody-Anne's is on Winnebago, near the old Rayovac factory. It's probably not the best place for a meetup, now that I think about it.

How about Wonder's Pub?

Matt, please hope rocketman's sense of humor!

Yes! I didn't understand your joke repetition! It was so tough too wrap-around! My apologies English is not so good for me!

Anyway, sorry about Edmonton. I usually root for Canadian teams. At least, I do when the sport isn't basketball, baseball, or soccer.

I would love an invite to both writely and google spreadsheets.

Thanks.

If you're going to post "meh" to someone's post because you really think the content is overrated -- and not just because you want to throw some anti-gratitude at the poster -- then why not contribute to the conversation and explain why it's not doing anything for you?

That would require people to know something about photography, or whatever the subject of the post is. And it's easier to say "meh" than to know stuff.

A more pressing question, to me, is why disillusioned is self-linking via a redirect to Pandora in his comment.

He did it here too.

And here, and here.

I'm just pointing it out. He seems like a helpful member, but don't know how the community would feel about this.
