Average guy, Im just your average guy
I'm average looking and I'm average inside
I'm an average lover and I live in an average place
You wouldnt know me if you met me face to face

It's been my experience that swaps with groups of more than about five are doomed to failure. I have never been able to understand how participants can sign up for a swap and accept free mixes without sending back one of their own. The contract here is not complex, after all.

It's this sort of naive disillusionment that has led me to many a dark moment, and an eventual total loss of faith in humanity, I can tell you that much.

Mr. Cardoso is only making a brief appearance to pimp all the unsold Miguel Cardoso masks* from last Halloween.

But Hecubus, I haven't seen that movie!

And anyway, it's much more fun to make up fake spoilers for movies. Like "In Million Dollar Baby, she returns the giraffes to the wild, but ends up getting eaten by zombies."

Fun!

Also, very cool, Adam.

Also also, I have a Miguel Cardoso liner notes album too.

Also also also, I have a grisly Miguel-shaped shrine made of human skulls in my basement, awaiting the day he will return and cleanse the world with his holy fire.

I am willing to accept money to describe any of you as Brad Pitt/Charlize Theron.

When there are deletions, you're not going to like them all. I say better to have a few comments you like disappear than to wade through a vast sea of lameness. I trust Jessamyn and Matt.

If this thread is Morford's idea of flaming, however mild, then he hasn't really spent much time here. Just sayin'.


Just to meander from the topic a little bit, I think the "Just sayin'." adder I've been seeing with more and more frequency of late is annoying. Of course you're just saying. I didn't think you were also skywriting your comment, or stitching it into a quilt.

Also, it seems cutesy and smug.... [more]

Why replace it with anything? It's unnecessary. You may as well type "water buffalo" at the end of every post. Or "Spock plays the didgeridoo".

I'd just like to say that my first post included the "This is my first post" addendum. I saw it as a way of saying to the site that I was new and was willing to be told how to make my submissions better in the future. Also, and I think this may be the case for many newbies, I was not very savvy to the local etiquette, or very geeky in general. Thanks to MetaFilter, I am proud to say that my general geekiness has increased by a factor of seven in just a few years.... [more]

I'd just like to deny categorically that I got in trouble with my wife after the SF meetup. The two events were totally unrelated, and the trouble had more to do with the trading of two our three children for a handful of magic beans and snap-together model of an SS Camaro.

I walked into the bar a little shy, not knowing what to expect. I figured it would be the usual cavalcade of hairy-palmed uberdorks. Then, I felt a hand on my thigh. I turned to find of bevy of luscious MeFemales in various states of undress. Blondes, redheads, and other colors that may have been from Out of Space. I protested that I was married, but it made no difference to these wanton women. On and on, with only occasional breaks for Shepherd's Pie and Guinness.

I might show. Do you wear red carnations or something? Or is there a giant humiliating MetaFilter sign? Do we have to write things on napkins? I don't want to do that. I was traumatized by a napkin at a very impressionable age.

I return to you from my wanderings in the desert, logging in after lo these many months to give you the words the Lord spoke to me at a diner counter in Cabazon:

"Matt gets the dough. Crunchland, while annoying, is still one of My children. Oh, and pie is My greatest creation."

So saith the Lord.
