not dead, but flattened.

alas, fair 9622, i knew ye, um, not very well actually.

Whatever happened to the mailing list?

Nothing stinks like a dead monkey.

"Ding-dong, the thread is dead."

[Fes hikes pants up to nipples, scratches idly] Ah remembah when 9622 was just two comments long! Yeah, that was back in ought-one, there was only et tousand membahs down to dah filtah back in dem days... hey youse kids! Next time dat ball comes in my yahd, I'm kepping it!

Remember kids: "Every time someone says 'you know, Foldy's got a point'... a thread dies."

Boys and girls, we got out in time.

does this mean matthowie is a murderer?

Send out the hounds!

Sometimes, Death is bettah.

For whatever reason, I feel like I missed out on something Big by not participating in that thread.

Not Berlin Wall Big, but ya know...

My only regret is that someone didn't finish it with:

Last post!

Brittney, you didn't miss much. It was basically this place with a slower load time.

Then, other times, Death is butter.

Heh. At least Neale got one good last swipe in.

Then, other times, death is batter.

Cold blue thread, strewn out
in snow like empty footprints.
The trail still goes on ...

Disclaimer: I never posted there. I'm not posting here really. Just lurking out loud.

Alas poor 9622!
I knew it, Horatio,
a thread of infinite jest,
of most excellent fancy...

I just realized that my only contribution to the now dead MetaTalk 1142 thread was this simple phrase:

"when all else fails, a jar of mayonnaise usually does the trick."

I was "this close" to posting to 9622 this morning, before the moratorium... yet something stayed my monkey hands. It's fate.

I resurrect an oldie, but goodie, from the mother thread with an epitaphic twist:

"The rough ploughman coughed - deep in thought, mourning the loss of 9622. He walked through the alleys of Marlborough - earlier he had fallen into a slough while eating dough with seven monkeys and a lemur."

ebk, that one sentence speaks volumes. There was no need to post anything more.

Somebody oughta make an appropriate tombstone, but do we have that much granite?

Don't take anything for granite, jon. I am glad I got one last "original voice" comment in - I (humbly, of course) think that's a good enough epitaph.

Besides, the last words on the thread are, and forever will be, "gratuitous monkey". What more really needs to be said?

Gratuitous Monkey. Unruly Boner. Miguel in Funny Hats. All these phrases and more now run freely through my head thanks to you weird people. Don't you have anything better to do with your time? You don't? Oh, me neither - then I guess that's a good thing. Carry on.

Cold chef that should have been under my comment in metafilter with 9622 thread, Ding Dong The Witch is Dead, if you look the last picture I have is of the flying monkeys, all of us.......

Have you noticed that thomcatspike makes more sense here than on Big Blue?

it causes one furiously to think.

I would've wanted to close it out with this :

or possible this :

but really, I haven't even touched 1142 or 9622 in months, either than to put my territorial-pissing trackbacks on then (and 11629 for good measure).

possible : possibly
either : other
then : them

Me fail English? Unpossible!

Hey stav: Any idea why the main menu is showing the Categories list? If you look at the code, it should all be commented out, but it's not catching the opening comment bracket.

It's not, for me. That's weird. Is there a post somewhere where someone has put in some ascii that looks like a comment closer or opener? That's what messed things up last time...

Speaking of code, why if I "copy and paste", I get everyting above it? Yet not "what" I'm trying to highlight. It's not a problem if I'm trying to copy the first comment, yet if it is the last one, well I can copy everything. But the last word. Ummm??? Monkey code, that is the ticket.

Could someone help me? The dog above *with* the stuffed animal is my dog, or my dog's twin. What does this mean?

That dog above has a small black goatee.
It plans to lock your dog up and take over the Enterprise, once it earns your trust.

PS, speaking of code, I would e-mail yet they don't go through. It depends which way I go with my mouse for highlight and copy and paste. so I will survive.
-> I get above "what" I'm highlighting and above yet not the "what"
Do I e-mail strav? I will look back here for a follow up or e-mail me, please to who to take my poo to, please so I don't waste the space here, again I have a hotmail account, as to why I don't e-mail the front page 9622net email.

I think it's just a quirk of Movable Type, thom. I've noticed it too. If you double-click on a word, you highlight only that word. If you triple-click on a single word, you highlight the person's entire comment. If you try to click-and-drag to highlight, you highlight the whole page.

Microsoft would call it a feature.

thanks crash, I do try things, yet today if you noticed I was not all there.......
Now to find my cookies........

Actually, and this is venturing into territory about which my knowledge becomes sketchy, I think that it's a manifestation of the 'selection bug' in IE that comes in in certain layouts using Cascading Style Sheets.

I've noticed it to, and it's annoying, and I'll see what I can do to rectify it.

IE has bugs?

You're joking, right?

Oddly, the bug i referred to above--about the categories list showing up in the main menu--only happens in Mozilla.

needy and unfaithful husband, who airfarewrites her romantic letters in her credit card teenage years, introduces her to his ski vacation tragic friend Ray, cheats on her with car rental women named Merced and Dolor, takes plane ticket her on a tour of the Peloponnese and hotel begs her to reverse her decision to vacation package leave him. The plot emerges through

wordy bastard.

Hey, that douche spammed my blog too.

DEATH TO GREGORY A!

Death to all the comment spammers, except the Ill Mitch kids. I have a soft spot for those little buggers.

I kinda like it. Bring it on, comment spammers! MikroBlog welcomes your, um, comments. Spamming.

Sheesh, talk about your softies.

A 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.

In an effort to help eliminate spam (and to preserve the sanity of the 9622 Volunteer Simian Spam-Cop Brigade) all threads older than 30 days will now be closed to comments.
