See, that one shows up under the 6th for me- but inside it does say 12:22 AM. Damn, so close...

No, because someone somewhere might decide to sue. It's CYA, and we're not getting any better about it in today's world.
Yes, it might be obvious to you, and me, and most 'reasonable' people, but that's far from comforting when someone does something stupid and gets hurt/arrested/taken financial advantage of, whatever.

Everyone Knows Something
Also, yes, they are called Whoopie Pies here in New England, and they sell them at Mobil and Cumberland Farms, among other places. I ate one 2 weeks ago from a local shop and almost went into sugar shock.
Jeezy Creezy, I hope those 'other places' are real bakeries - the stuff at Cumby's (and the like), while sugary and all, is like calling Cisco wine. Technically true, but...

Well, no, because this is the INTERNET.
This is where one makes a "Trucks and Tubes" joke, right?

I tried. I failed. Why?
Okay, I can't hold my tongue on this any longer. These funny-ha-ha reasons for deletion? They kind of suck. Not because they're not occasionally funny, but because they serve no purpose whatsoever and are, in fact, sometimes uninstructive and counterproductive. Like this time, for instance.
I don't see who they're supposed to benefit: the OP? The audience over at deletedthread.blogspot.com? The mod him or herself? Is it really such a drag getting paid to... [more]

Important feature proposal for FPP process
Incidentally, someone I know and respect used the word "The Ints" today to describe what would hitherto be described as Teh Intrernets. I mention it only because half of me hates the expression, and the other half wants to be the first on MeFi to use it. Discuss.
I think you must be mistaken, clearly your friend meant "The Ents"

I want to know what MetaFilter is thinking.
Polls give you a raw number, not people. It's a cheap and easy way to lump people together under one belief/choice/answer.
I don't think that should ever be what we try to do here. MeFi is inherently people, not a thing.

White people on Metafilter
I thought the first time around was crappy. This one I flagged as a double.
I'm a white guy, and I don't fit a lot of these, but more than that, it's cheap, lowest-common-denominator 'humor'. If I put up 'things any other group likes' whether it's black people, Republicans, Canadians, pizza delivery guys, someone's probably going to point out that it's cheap generalizations disguised as comedy, and I would expect it to get wiped out.

WTF Matt?
it's only still up because matt posted it. It is only full of people saying it was funny because matt posted it. They are fawning and pissing on themselves like lowly dogs.
If anyone else had posted it, it would have been loudly decried by the baying masses and removed within a space of 25 minutes. The hypocrisy and sycophancy of Metafilter as microcosm of the precious human race demonstrated amply once again.

That's all I've got to say about it. You know what I'm saying is true.
I know what you're saying is pretentious, but maybe I just have a stick up my butt. Seems to be going around.

Fundamentalist Metafilterism
I'm advancing a theory that perhaps Mefi users aren't willing to consider the possibility that we could have a "best of the Web" post that is a bit chatty (on Ask.Mefi) or addresses humorously the topic of Christians or Bush, or in some other way deals with a verboten subject.
Perhaps if there was something chatty or humorous, but 'cmon - it was STILL just a list of unattributed quotes with no discussion or other merit. The page it came... [more]

I think MetaFilter needs an official hangover remedy, too.

Sweet potatoes vs. Yams comment
That was no lady.
That was your wife?
Growing up I was taught that real yams were African, and a lot bigger than a sweet potato. This led to lots of questions about 'Candied Yams' at Thanksgiving, which were neither candied NOR yams. This led me to an epiphany.
Early on, I learned that most people are lying to you...
