Mini MeFi Meetup for dinner at Talula's Table?
Arghargharghargh. This is one of the times I wish I lived in PA again. Then again, it's too late! Grrr.

I refuse to call this place BrisVegas
Hmm... I'll be passing through on October 30th or 31st (although I haven't yet made up my mind). Is there any interest in meeting up on the 30th? This way I'll make up for missing the SF meetup while I'm down under!

Hey dg - it sounds like you'll be in Cairns around the time I get back from my liveaboard!
turgid_dahlia - thanks for the offer! If I do end up spending more time in Brisbane than to go through transit on my way back South I'll take you up on it!

Gah - I am finally in Cairns, back from my dive trip! Sorry for not piping up in the interim - things were crazy between when I last posted, when I left, and now! It seems like I missed scrotal sacks of ice cream, yum! Anyway, it looks like I'm going to be headed southwards soon - sorry to miss a Cairns meetup, dg!

New Overlord!!
Aww man! This reduces my mod-met ratio from 2/4 down to 3/5. Curses!
And congratulations, Vacapinta! On the move, getting married, and newly-minted modship!

Anyone running Bay to Breakers?
B2B is the third Sunday of May, every year. I'm abashed that I hadn't heard of oysterfest, but then again I just left my cell phone in the back of a cab so I'm not getting much word from anyone right now.

Self-link/Spam fighting
This suggestion may sound unsavory but perhaps there could be a fine associated with linkspamming? Make it clear, in big bold letters on the signup page, that if you are caught self-linking you will be charged some large amount of money? Considering that the spammers are giving up their paypal information in the first place, might this not be a deterrent?

I believe they've been "making it" for a while now, rtha. Scandalous!
Sorry I couldn't join you guys that night - sounds like it was a good one!

metafilter will kill us all
Ha! When I first clicked on metafilter.willkillusall.com, it had a photo of an obese man alone in a room someplace. But when I reloaded the page it used this photo instead, which was far more appropriate in my opinion. Butts lol indeed.

The First Mefi Restoration in the Straits.
Mmmm... chicken rice - I can never get enough of the stuff. Not the Hainanese version mind you, but the Malay variety where it's served with Sup Ayam (chicken soup) and a chili sauce which is a mix of blended chilis and lemon juice. When combined, it's a taste nirvana.
I am now drowning in my own saliva.

1 + 1 = 0
Way back in the 90's when I first tried Limewire, I decided to look for the album "Dream of the Blue Turtles". So I typed in the name of the artist expecting to see lists of his albums which I could download, but instead there was just a ton of listings for hardcore porn involving a fetish which I wasn't so familiar with and was rather scandalized as a result.
And that's how I learned that you can't spell "fisting" without "Sting".

Did you ask Feel the Noize's permission first?

Of course, I meant *get* FtN's permission, dang it.

What is MetaFilter?
Oolong and mushrooms and elephants pissing,
pantsfish and longboats and fedora dissing,
meetups and shoutouts and favorites too,
this is my MeFi but what's it to you?

SF Chronicle Metafilter mention
One of my friends is completely crushed out on Mark Morford. Given Morford's tie-in with the Dyatlov incident, I'm expecting her hair to turn grey and her skin orange anytime now.

On we sweep with thrashing oar...
I think aubilenon has it right. Cortex, if you want any of that sweet, black foreign lovin', you're going to have to come to the meetup. If you want liquorice you'll have to order it online.

'Twas most excellent fun. Lessons learned:
1. How to implement polling and harvest more favorites at the same time.
2. Never mistake a dutchman for a german, especially when he's been so kind as to bring licorice.
3. Quonsar's back and so is Ethereal Bligh! MeFi gossip is strangely compelling.
4. If you're in Texas, you need to go out and vote in your primary and do so again in your caucus.
5. Hawaiians are badass.... [more]

Cc:ing Yourself on Sent Mail on Mefi Mail
I don't know where the confusion is, ceeg, may I call you ceeg? Personally, I address pb as "Josh", cortex as "Jessamyn", Jessamyn as "Her Royal Highness", and Matt as "Sir Rumpety Pumpety". It's as plain as the rub on the fish in your pants.

Yay! That's two of the mods in as many SF meetups. Despite my all-too-brief appearance, I had fun seeing/meeting all of you folks.

Fallout from the Givewell affair
Wow, the NYTimes proves once again it is the bastion of investigative journalism and in-depth research. I suppose this article will appear somewhere under the fold, buried on page 37 too. To reduce it to merely the self-link trivializes the problem and effectively gives Holden a pass.
