I think you should pick the first nine posters in this thread to form the team.

yeah - 45/69. I saw that after I posted and couldn't figure out where i did the math incorrectly. granted, i was obviously NOT trying to win but you'd think i could AT LEAST get the proper number of senators, yanno?

Though this may appear a bit vitriolic, my real complaint is not about the content of the post. It's about the utter lack of descriptive content ANYWHERE within the post itself, which basically serves a click-thru to msnbc. It's a lame post, with a lamer title/link/description.

And, yes, delmoi - you are right. The solider is no idiot. I apologize for tossing that in.

"That "idiot soldier" died defending your country, leaving behind grieving family and friends."

maybe next time he'll think about that before he jumps on a grenade.
posted to MetaTalk by casconed at 8:32 PM on October 14, 2006

yah, yah - i concede. i'm an ass for calling the soldier an idiot. i got too caught up in my own pissiness and misdirected my vitriol toward a nameless dude who had the misfortune to end up in Iraq. i do apologize, seriously, i meant no disrespect that soldier or any of the others who have died or will die in this mess.

but the post still sucks.

oh man - can we have custom user avatars? but only interrobang can post 'em to people's accounts, and only when he sees fit. if you don't like it, yer stuck. the rest of us will think it's awesome even when you object to being drawn as a leather daddy with an acne problem. and a lazy eye. and body odor.

aww matt, feel free!
posted to MetaTalk by casconed at 3:07 PM on August 29, 2006

seriously! can we convince matt to post updates to youtube? you know, like a vlog!? it's be great. then some jackass or another could post about it in the blue! and then we could call them out in the grey! IT'LL BE THE SAME, ONLY DIFFERENT

but seriously, i would love to have some insight into the mind of matt, but i understand he probably has larger fish to fry.

my complaint-of-the-moment:

I joined MeFi to get laid, and this hasn't happened yet. Could the rest of you quit whining about each other's posts and work on that, pleasE?
posted to MetaTalk by casconed at 12:32 PM on August 16, 2006

hototogisu - no plans, really. i'll probably just hang out, browsing metafilter in the vague hope that it gets me laid?

hototogisu - you're in luck. i'm a dude.

great analysis languagehat. i'm especially concerned about mathowie's involvement - how did he get from wholelottanothing over to here so quickly? it takes at least 2 hours to click across....

i hate the caret too. flag all posts with carets as noise, and call the poster out personally on MeTa for their crappy wikipedia-laden post. I'm starting with you, dminor. Your post sucks.

can we please have more animated gifs on the front page?
posted to MetaTalk by casconed at 10:43 PM on July 13, 2006

actually, every time a see this dumbass wikipedia caret notation, i flag the post as noise. i hate that stupid convention more than youtube links, flash friday fun, and whoresons. whoever thought that up should be dragged through the green and black, and strung up to freeze in the cold, grey sun.

this place isn't about fun, people. THE INTERNETS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS.

but, no, really - what was ever the problem with simply linking to wikipedia? why the... [more]

maybe a bit more posting freedom and a bit less moderation will make it more interesting

oh no, it is already plenty interesting.

i just visited metafilter for the first time in ages and noticed that there are a bunch of annoying stories posted on the front page. is there a way to turn this off? i'd like to just sit and gaze and the pretty blue background.
