MeTa post: They erased his face!

dersins, I look at that page sometimes to find new people to follow on Twitter. I do this because I assume that MeFites have already self-selected; to "survive" on this site you've got to have at least the basics of spelling, grammar, and punctuation down. Try just looking at random non-MeFite Twitters and you'll see what I mean.

MeTa post: the sun... it's so bright!

Jen and I are up for it, I'm sure. Enchanted Rock is one of my favorite places in the world. And I'd definitely be up for going up the dome and hanging around by the crick if there's any water and going to the Fredericksburg brewpub (they got some tasty snausage!).

Oh, crap -- what katemonster said. A very good friend's b-day party is the 12th, and I can't miss it. :/

Jen and I will be there with bells on (OK, I'll be the one wearing the bells).

Scratch that. We won't be there -- I had a family issue come up last night and I need to stay closer to town for now. Y'all enjoy yourselves!

Oh hell yes! I'm up for it whenever/wherever.

I am so, so, SO sad that I will be missing this, but in the interest of not infecting everyone with whatever Cough of Death I have, I will. :[

Somebody have a Mexican martini for me! Everyone have a Mexican martini for me.

I think likesuchasand and I are in!

You had me at Frito pie.

Um, yeah. What time?

Okay, I'm going to aim for 8:39, because I'm neurotic like that.

Dude, next time you can't meet up for the meetup you started, try to post a little earlier :[

likesuchasand, collocation, and I all went together from Austin and no one else showed up.

I think if it's your question, it's your thread, and you can do whatever the hell you want with the "Best Answer" function.

MeTa post: Following up an online spectacle

I bought them that day from Zenni. Got them two weeks later. They didn't make my eyes fall out, but they were a little too hip for normal wear, so I don't wear them much. But I'm happy to say they were cheap and they work and I like them.

Then I forwarded the thread to all my friends, who accused me of spamming. Ah, the zeal of the new convert.

MeTa post: Ho, Ho, Ho.

I got a scanner and, um, my Birkenstocks recrafted and a pizza stone and some Play-Doh and some macadamia nut chocolate stuff and a sweater and some perfume that I don't have yet. And some other stuff! And, um, some of those beads you put on the pegboard and melt together with an iron. And my parents gave me this book and um, some giraffe measuring spoons. And some more things I wanted and needed!... [more]

MeTa post: AskMe: Let us do your job for you!

What the hell else is AskMe for?

it really cheeses me off that I learned this stuff on my own either by making mistakes and learning from them or asking the more experienced people that I work with for help. But no, why don't we ask the internet instead and look like an omniscient god?

A smart, resourceful person uses ALL the resources at her disposal.

MeTa post: fun fun.

I have to leave for a bit, but I bet the Jackalope would play this. More speculation later.
posted to MetaTalk by fiercecupcake at 9:15 AM on December 8, 2007

So as I was saying -- the Jackalope plays a lot of Discovery and History channel stuff on one TV, and they keep the closed captioning on. If our group does not consist of a high percentage of douchebags, and we drink well and tip well, this could be a good location.

[Disclaimer: We are regular 'Lopers.]

Ooh, also, it's buy-one-get-one-free burger night at Jackalope, and they have awesome burgers. So come hungry, if you're so inclined. (But order as soon as you get there, 'cause they're slow.) And the waffle fries are gooood.
posted to MetaTalk by fiercecupcake at 9:52 AM on December 12, 2007

Now I am getting really nervous about the TV situation. They aren't a place where "the game" is always on or anything, but there's nothing big going on tonight, is there?
posted to MetaTalk by fiercecupcake at 9:52 AM on December 12, 2007

They do have a lot of TVs, though. And now I will stop all this ridiculous posting nonsense.

Thanks, bluishorange!

I had so much fun. :] Maybe too much, from the way my head hurts this morning. So... tired...

MeTa post: "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?"

Can't anything just be left the way it is for the sake of it being the way it's always been? Can't it be overly long and Web 1.0 because it is part of Metafilter's charm? Or do we have to destroy it, like stucco-ing over the walls of an old building because it doesn't fit the modern sensibilities?

And yeah, I like the prompt. In case you couldn't tell.

MeTa post: Double posting question

I'm timidly posting again to say that I had forgotten ALL ABOUT flags last night when I posted this post that I posted. Oops. Sorry.
