Ahh, TV's closes at 10 p.m. on Sundays. We're only there for one night due to work schedules, unfortunately.

Eideteker — The BMW is a 2004 R1150RT. It's his bike (it's too big for my tastes, but we bought it for road-trippin', and thus we ride 2-up). My bike is a 1973 Bonneville that needs a lot of work. In town, I also ride a 1978 Vespa P125x and he rides a 1963 Vespa P125.... [more]

We had a '94 CB400 when we lived in Korea! Until C got hit by a driver running a red light. He was mostly okay but the cycle didn't survive :(

Older Hondas are *awesome.* The Bonnie is cosmetically immaculate but is not tuned up enough for long-distance rides. I wish I had pictures to share.

This post is quickly turning into a brag-about-your-bike fest, but that's okay with me.

If anyone is still reading this we'll be there at about 9 pm Sunday night. I'll have on a green sleeveless 60s dress.

I would love to drive up from Houston — anybody wanna put me up for the night?

Okay, I don't anticipate being anywhere near Atlanta anytime soon, but I just wanted to say that note waaay at the top there is really cool and we should have more of them. Indeed, I am easily amused.

Maybe I'll make the drive up from Houston. I have to see how the holiday schedule plays out.

Obligatory link to the promotional video for the book, which makes this once-tomboy's heart squeal with delight.

No, by then I will be living back in the States. (One more month to go!)

I have this issue as well but I always access MeFi from the same computer and to my knowledge the cookies have not been recently cleared.

DAMMIT.
I'm 6,000 miles away right now.
(But I suggest Rock N' Bowl.)

Rock 'N Bowl happens every weekend at 66 Bowl on Rt. 66 just west of the fairgrounds.

But even if you don't plan the meet-up for a Saturday Night, 66 Bowl is great place to meet friends and hang out. They have a full bar.

I have always wanted to thank Suedehead for this advice and the map that goes along with it regarding things to do on New Years in Seoul. Alas, Suedehead does not have an email address in profile, so I'll say it now:

Big Gulps to Suedehead!

mathowie talks about this in the Viewer Mail podcast which I just listened to this morning while running my 5K.

Only when I run on the treadmill. It makes the time go by faster. I also listen to NPR podcasts.

I've often wondered about the guy in search of the purple henley who wanted to take a photograph similar to the one he had of his dad 30 years before. I'd like to see the new photo but he never posted a follow-up.

brittanieshey on twitter, though I've been lax there lately.

roofus, there is a twitter application for facebook that allows you to update both your twitter and your facebook status at the same time.

When I read the MeTa thread above, I thought it was a reference to OJ Simpson and Target. Nevertheless, these are my very favorite kind of deleted threads on the Blue.

"American" can mean South American, Canadian, Mexican, whatever. Also, "USian" is shorter and quicker to type.

I found that a bit odd too, although personally, I think the link to the article counts as attribution.
posted to MetaTalk by Brittanie at 2:28 AM on September 6, 2007

Popularity contests aside, I would like to see something on user profiles along the lines of "Brittanie has had X AskMe answers marked as 'best answer'."
posted to MetaTalk by Brittanie at 9:26 PM on September 3, 2007

I totally agree, I was wondering the same thing about that exact same thread.
posted to MetaTalk by Brittanie at 6:27 AM on September 3, 2007

I agree. I love the 'cast but I always think it's a bit strange and awkward when Matt ends the shows with something along the lines of "Okay, I think we have enough material now."

It's called a Front Page Post because Metafilter.com, AKA "The Green," is considered the front page of MetaFilter, whereas AskMe, MeTa, Travel, Jobs, etc. are considered subsites.

Oops. I was just reading AskMe.

That's it. Hmm, I even favorited it but couldn't find it in my searches. Thanks.

I finished mine and mailed it off months ago. I can't remember who to, right now, without checking old posts and emails.

Whaddyoutalkinabout? There are several people who answered by saying they were raised by smokers and have experiences similar to the OP's:

I can relate

I had this

If your dad smoked around you a lot, indoors especially, maybe you did get enough of a nicotine fix to get somewhat addicted.

This happened to me too

There are plenty more.... [more]

Okay, please tell me how to take pictures like that.

This is not a rhetorical compliment. I really want to know how you do that.

A few times the first poster has conceded that the second post was better, and graciously volunteered the first post to be deleted.

I often have dream about MeFi. The last one was last night and I was at the Portland meet-up. Jessamyn was making sure people who've had too much to drink took cabs home. I waited in line outside for the cab and some other user (dunno who) was wearing the same outfit as Jessamyn. The other girl was trashed, and Jessamyn was making snarky comments about how she looked better in the outfit than the drunk girl.

I have no idea what corner of my subconscious spawned that... [more]

Because they're books about teenage girls going through things that most teenage girls don't talk to each other about (and that mother's don't talk to their girls about). They make you feel like you aren't a freak of nature.
