I HATE YOU ALL (EXCEPT OBAMA)
What was the site, originally, before it changed to Obama Campaign HQ? (I'm sure this new, updated site will nail down the xenophobe vote, too.)

Yes, I'll most likely be there! Last time, weren't we somehow rickroll'd on one of the questions?

$100. Switzerland, where the IOC headquarters are.

$100, 200, and 300? What, are you playing Jeopardy! five years ago?
Actually, I haven't watched it since around 1991, back when Alex had the moustache and dark hair. Wha'happened?!

"Wow, look at the Boobies!"
Hi folks!
• First, I wanted to say that I'm blissfully ignorant of most of what goes down in MetaTalk, especially regarding 100-plus-comment debates on whether or not something constitutes sexism. Sorry for stepping in the pile of dogshit that was in the middle of the room; I had my noseclip on and was looking at the ceiling.
• I come to MeFi for the diversionary nature: the cool links, interesting articles, overviews on things, music, etc. I... [more]

Jessamyn is a woman, and a moderator, and she can certainly hold her own against any "boyzone" behavior.
Yes. Yes, she certainly can.

I typed that comment and hovered over it for about a minute before deciding to hit the post comment button. It was parts statement of admiration for being able to handle you lot, parts me being mischevous and double entendrish, parts hug and "wink wink."

I dropped the 8-ball and now I have blue fluid leaking onto my desk, but no white or yellow digits or letters. Did I just break my MetaFilter, or some other site? It tastes like burning.

Smoking it? What a great idea! You know also that the way I worded my post was to also sidetrack people into looking at the neat psycholinguistic things that are garden path sentences and paraprosdokians. Hey by "some of you," do you mean me? Are you gonna eat that muffin? I think... [more]

^Did the poster even really care about the links?
Yes. I think the poster did great job of telling the story he wanted to, and that the links provided were chosen carefully as jumping-off points for those interested in the story to find out more. And the FPP seems to be somewhat of a hit.
To me, it illustrates how there are many ways to approach constructing an FPP. It's obvious that MeFi goes way beyond memepool, allowing... [more]

How to find Mefites by city
Does this apply only to those who have supplied their lat/lon? F'rinstance, just supplying Tupelo, MS, without the lat/lon won't mark you on this special robot free map, will it?

May 28, 2008, MeFi Wire Service
It started out a chilly evening at Wrigley Field Tommy Doyle's, but the MeFites arrived to provide the trivial heat. "We Are Not The Cabal" took first prize, pwning a large field of contenders. The $40 gift certificate to Tommy Doyle's was given to the "7th Player" Admiral Haddock, who soon-after belted... [more]

yhbc, no beard necessary; the women in attendance were refreshingly facial-hair-free, as was backseatpilot. Whereas I need the beard and moustache so that I won't lose a drop of that sweet sweet nectar they call "beer."

Whoops, it wasn't Horace who gave me the Sacagawea dollar. (D'oh!) In any case, it ended up being given to my son via the Tooth Fairy. Which I am not.

And no she never returned, until she did.
Aieeee! Performance anxiety! I'd be glad to have anyone interested come by and see my band play ... 6/7/08, time unknown, probably 7-ish, Front Street Coffeehouse in Salem ... but this wouldn't be a meetup associated with this thread, if it is a call for a meetup anyway.
And unfortunately, I probably wouldn't be able to hit this meetup window, fuzzbean, but hope you attain critical MeFite mass during your stay here!
