This is probably the first case I've seen of a misspelled joke sockpuppet.

Apparently I'm a restaurant. In London.

And I thought I was unique.

The Neutrino hunting in Antarctica post was made on May 8th, of last year, not last week. That's probably the reason why some of the links are not working any more.

I agree with bugbread. I wasn't really sure what the link title was until I saw team lowkey's example.

Oh yeah, and of the 9856 people who answered questions in 2004-2006, 5320 never had one of the answers marked as "best". Ha hah! Suck it Losers!

I see that message all the time, and I mostly read MetaTalk.

The good thing is that after this comment I won't see it for a week. W00t!

Me too. It was the type of question that either gets deleted quickly or ends up in the sidebar. Too bad jessamyn got to it before it got a ton of answers.

I'm getting the same comment number on all comments:

You should get that stick out of your ass, cribcage; I'm sure it hurts.

This is a small change I've always wanted. Granted, there are other ways to know the year that one particular comment was written in, but having it in the timestamp would not render it unreadable or make it too cluttered and it would help many of us who follow links to old comments without knowing if they're from a month or five years ago, especially Metatalk comments from Matt....

Sorry cribcage, I did not intend to post the first sentence of my previous comment. It was overly aggressive and I apologize for posting it.

I actually did what trey suggested with a couple of friends, but I made sure they were already lurking and still sent them links to the new user page and the guidelines.

Your second request is coming soon.

dame : "If you live in Canada, you live in North America. If you are in Mexico, you are also in North America."

Well, some countries (such as Mexico) teach that there are five continents: America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. So to some, America is a continent, from Canada to Argentina.

There was an AskMe thread about a year ago about this, but I'm too lazy to search for it.

Should I switch back to FF 1.5 or is there a chance an update might be coming soon?

I don't know where micheladas come from originally, but you can get them in any bar or restaurant in México.

stavros, you're right about the chelada, but the michelada is a chelada plus Worcestershire sauce, Jugo Maggi and Tabasco sauce. I'll be having one (or three) in about two hours.

It's also a great hangover remedy.

First Mexican meetup, and I'm too far to attend (Monterrey).

Tómense una michelada por mí.

I haven't been to D.F. in over a decade (other than the airport), but I'll try to go to an America game, especially if Tigres plays there next season, and a meetup definitely needs to happen when I'm there.

I think every account should have a price-of-silence figure attached to it that's inversely proportional to the contribution index.

I'd hate to see how cheap my sience would be.

Maybe this: If the question is actually "I want to know more about you," it's pretty much chatfilter (as in, it's getting-to-know-you-smalltalk).

I think this pretty much nails it.

I also see MeFi on the left, MeTa in the middle, and Ask Me on the right, even though I always read MeTa first, then AskMe, then MeFi.

I would really like to join, but this Saturday would be impossible for me.

Good luck to all and count me in for the next tournament.

I'm in, but I agree with mosch that there would have to be some money involved so players take it seriously.

No list that I'm aware of, but it would be nice to have one.

I'm in Mexico, BTW.

I don't think editing is necessary. If anyone is tempted to try one of the recipes with tobacco, they'd at least read the whole thread to look for the best available recipe and find out by the comments that it's not actually for tobacco, but for pot.

What about Sidhedevil? I don't remember seeing a post of hers since the AlexReynolds thread.

Wow, first question I ask and I get a MeTa callout. It can only go uphill from here.

As far as Mexican laws, I don't even think there are any regarding file sharing. Still, here's my last comment from the original thread:

I phrased the question poorly. I apologize for that.
