MeFi post: Customize your disease and wipe out the population
Everyone knows the next pandemic will come out of southern China.

Especially those of use who live next door.

Smarmy, self-righteous Madagascar.

Funny how closing its borders magically keeps infected humans from beaching boats and coming in anyway.

Unrealistic game.

MeFi post: Password Chart
Use passphrases, not passwords. They're easy to remember by themselves, and they are quite strong.

So she can get a sensual seduction.

MetaFilter: You are big but you can be small again.

Or in the words of The Tragically Hip:

Good News! You get to vanish
Go to Cleveland, be an indie smash
The good news is now you're smaller
The bad news is you can be smaller than that

"It's on random."

Took a couple of tries to get 24 right with the sway, but only once to finish 25.

Quick fun.

The job of a bartender (or barista, etc.) is to provide me with what I asked for, if it is available and I am willing to pay.

Isn't that what hookers do?
posted to MetaFilter by bwg at 6:29 PM on July 14, 2008
Well, I've heard lots of people claim PBR or Bud was good beer, but back when I drank, it tasted like horse piss.

And you know what horse piss tastes like how, exactly?

*Just kidding; everybody has said this without really thinking it through ...

MeFi post: And DJB's $500 is safe for another day
When HSBC issued an electronic 6-digit code generator to account holders on top of the usual loginID/password combo for online transactions here in Hong Kong, I was irritated with the extra step.

No longer.

Helms had "the 'humorous habit'" of calling all black people "Fred".

Maybe, but did he ever get a leather for his Fred?

MeFi post: A New World Is At Hand
Actually, the documents started nothing; they merely reflect what a group of men decided to do at great risk to themselves and their families, as well as to all who supported their bid to end the tyranny of the crown.

They are the words that followed the action, but what magnificent words they are.
