Posted by: gummi on July 28, 2002 12:50 AMAnd are you seriously considering calling your autobiography It Worked On Preview?
Even though you still refuse to seem to buy into the consensus understanding of what MeTa is supposed to be about, Mickey C, this has got to be the funniest thing I've ever seen you say,
"And are you seriously considering calling your autobiography It Worked On Preview?"
so I forgive you.
yaaay! Monkey love abounds!!!

Posted by: yhbc on July 28, 2002 01:32 AMIt's time to form a "Miguel Got Spanked In MeTa" congo line again, innit?
Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on July 28, 2002 02:00 AMI'm up for that.

Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on July 28, 2002 05:49 AMmiguel, i am very curious: what were your reasons for posting that? i'm hoping something beautifully ironic.
Posted by: pikachu lolita on July 28, 2002 06:05 AMNo, pikachu lolita - how tempting to dream up something cool, but I actually hoped people would like to discuss signs they were getting too involved with MetaFilter and perhaps what they did to fight against it. I remembered ColdChef and others remarking on the MeFi addiction and thought posting it on a Saturday night would bring out all the junkies.
Well, in a way it did and that's sort of ironic, though not beautiful, not by a long shot. :)
Posted by: Miguel on July 28, 2002 07:09 AMwell, it's not beautiful that everyone was all mean to you. and they did not behave particularly beautifully. but first of all, it's (depending on your motivation) either beautifully ironic or beautifully fitting that you'd post about people being too addicted to mefi, and then it's beautifully ironic that they all got their panties in a wad over you being such a blight on what is "just a website".
in short, i found pleasure in it, even though it very much felt like watching someone you like (who was kind of asking for it) get roughed up on the playground.
Posted by: pikachu lolita on July 28, 2002 07:28 AMNow I'm picturing Miguel trying out his ballet moves on the basketball court ("My Ode to Summer Joy") and a couple of big guys stuffing him in a hoop.
Posted by: Eeksy-Peeksy on July 28, 2002 07:41 AMNow you all know why Miguel is my evil twin.
I think they are all jealous because he writes better than they do.
Posted by: b****fire on July 28, 2002 04:40 PMA note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
here. Thanks.
