Is your kitty an exhibitionist? Show your cat off at Cat-scan.com.

Um... Wait. Does this remind anyone of another post?

It even reminds me of another post...

Why, it must be Metafilter's birthday again!! (And possibly Cat-scan's, but I don't know about that...)

Hope I didn't step on any surprises, but it was too good not to post.

Yay o2b! I discovered earlier that commenting on a really old post doesn't bring it back to the front page. :(

Anyway...

Happy Birthday to MeFi
Convention you defy
Matt Haughey is beeef-i
Happy Birthday to MeFi!

Happy Birthday to the only site that makes me care enough to constantly complain about it!

I love you, MeFi! Oops...I mean, Happy Birthday, MetaFilter!

Ice Cream Day.
Pancakes.
Blinding white hot hatred for SUVs.
Sepuku-inducing kitten pictures.
Bukkake.
A fear of uttering anything even the slightest bit mean.

No less than four dozen emails regarding the proper use of the words "neigh" and "nigh", and why they are not even the slightest bit interchangeable with each other.

Deep, deep concern for clavdivs' well being.

Zippity Bop jokes so inside as to defy any sort of meaning for anyone but three other people.

Oh, and a bit of perspective :







Thank you, MeFI, and Happy Birthday.

Wow. I've gone through a few birthdays, but CNN never showed up at my door... Hmpf...

Happy Birthday! ...MeFi....

Okay, I feel bad about spoiling this, but didn't MetaFilter's 2nd birthday pass months ago?

MetaFilter has two birthdays--it's just that cool. Happy birthday MeFi.

Er, The top line of my post was meant to be "Things MeFi has given me", without which, my post seems snide and makes little sense.

So are the MeFi posts 1-18 sort of like the original KMTA Mystery Science Theatre 3000 episodes 1-3 that you know must have happened but you'll never ever get to see them? Are they? Huh?
