MeFi post: Customize your disease and wipe out the population
It is a little slow. Also, they misspelled "martial".

MeFi post: Information Design + Politics = WIN! (Hopefully)
I am not a fan of calling the cops on illegal workers. That said, Miko, I don't understand the idea behind

As the candidate, isn't it you who should be proposing solutions?

Certainly all politicians have advisers. He asked you to be an informal one.

MeFi post: "I can’t believe they included Quibble-Man but not The Human Quibble!"
Please tell me I'm not the only person who thinks Preacher, and Garth Ennis is/are wildly overrated.

Yeah, I think that Ennis relies a little to much on "Hey! This is gross! RIGHT? LOOK!!!" and not enough on just crafting an interesting story.

Well, I think that it is true that Batman is always prepared for future conflicts. And, I'm sure that he has a stockpile of all the kinds of kryptonite. So, yes, he had Green Arrow help him, but I think with his cunning and abilities he would be able to deliver Superman a kryptonite sandwich all on his own.

If Superman was in the ionosphere it is very possible that Batman has a bat satellite with kryptonite spray. Or something. Ahem.

MeFi post: Whackity schmackity doo, kids!
Yeah, I don't remember any words from my high school graduation either, but that is because they got a state senator to speak. This is not exciting to most 18 year olds. Now, if they had gotten a comedian who had graduated from my HS to speak, I might have cared more.

MeFi post: Yes, I'll take the full insurance coverages please.
As a cooped up New Yorker who has also never been to Montreal it looks pretty fucking fun to me.

I don't know that this is really about difficulty, Brockles. I think it's about going to Canada by some backways you might not take normally and then partying at the end. And that seems like enough to me.

MeFi post: Man, I really hated getting killed by The Farting Sluggoth
I was actually just playing some amateur Fighting Fantasy over here. And now this...Wow. I need to buy all these again. Too bad in the USA they stopped selling them at number 21.

Anyone here a Car Wars gamebook fan? Boy, did I love those. Those and Grail Quest.

Well, I suppose I'm in the minority. I've been reading this blog for a few weeks now and I think the commentary is totally hilarious.

MeFi post: A long time on the lam

A young white woman in the early 70s. You'd expect her to be sentenced anywhere else?

Honestly, I don't know. Are there figures available about this sort of thing?

I wonder how his ex-wife feels about all this being in Men's Vogue.

MeFi post: The OCD Post
As another person with OCD, this kind of phrasing does not bother me. It seems as if it being said like "That person behaves as if they have OCD." or that "Washing your hands 67 times a day is behavior that could be described as being symptomatic of OCD."

Sorry, to be jerky. I just was expecting more "Wow!" from the pictures since they are taken of things that are not meant to be photographed.

MeFi post: The Things You Learn From Pop Culture
I don't think there is anything wrong with thinking things from other cultures sound funny. I don't know that I think that that is inherently disrespectful.

MeFi post: A tangled web
I'm not sure how important it is, but I sure liked looking at it and found some new sites I hadn't heard of.

Also, is Orkut that successful? Am I that out of the loop?

MeFi post: Tattoo Safari : Idolatry or Irony?
Are there those on Metafilter who are the people who are bummed about having the "hat they can never take off"? It seems like the tattooed people in this thread seem pretty positive about their choice.

I am actually quite excited to see what Craig (and the writers) will do with Bond. I like the idea of the restart to the franchise.

I personally would like to see "Snakes on a Cruise Ship" with an elderly protagonist putting paid to some snakes with a shuffleboard stick or a roulette wheel or something.
