That reminds me of that horrible Web site with the evil kitty eyes flashing. Damn near sent me into a seizure.
Posted by: adampsyche on August 8, 2002 10:10 PMIs "Evanizing" anything like "Martinizing"? I see those signs everywhere but I'm always afraid to get close enough to read what they're actually selling.
Posted by: Crash on August 8, 2002 10:22 PMWow, Evan. I thought your iPod would be...I dunno...bigger.
Posted by: ColdChef on August 8, 2002 10:32 PM...later, as the others conversed about the fame and fortune they'd received in exchange for their souls, Evan realized he'd been a fool to settle for Satan's first offer: two beers and a shiny thing.
Posted by: Crash on August 8, 2002 11:11 PMDon't mean to be crass, and all due respect to Adampsyche, but I've got to say that Quixotic Life is by far the most Beautiful thing I've seen on the net, non-porn style, of course. Damn.
Posted by: Anonymous Guy on August 8, 2002 11:24 PMFrom the Truth can Finally Be Told Department:
Evanizer is Suge Knight's gay, white* doppelganger!
*doppelgayer?
Posted by: jonmc on August 8, 2002 11:35 PMLord Evan was pleased that the Evanizer worked, but his hopes for an army of űberlovers were dashed when he found it only affected women.

Well, from the looks of it, he already knows Bobby De Niro.
Posted by: Miguel on August 9, 2002 01:27 AMNooo! My fiancee is the most Beautiful Thing this side of the Net.
Except when she does this.

Posted by: goneill on August 9, 2002 09:51 AMThen again, stretching to reach only 5'4 leavs most things to go right over my head. And yes, Dogmatic, Yuki is quite beautious!
Posted by: Aw on August 9, 2002 10:43 AMWhat is it about this place that attracts such beautiful women? Seriously. And more importantly, why would they marry the likes of Adampsyche?
Yes, dogmatic, Yuki is gorgeous. She'd fit right in here. Ask her to come by some time.
Posted by: jpoulos on August 9, 2002 11:28 AMjpolous...shhh...the effects of my evil brainwashing concoction haven't worn off yet...
Posted by: adampsyche on August 9, 2002 11:31 AMAs I was going to suggest a "Girls of Meta" group picture as well as a "Guys of Meta" shot, I am painfully shy, and indescision is the death of me. Next time, I promise I will stop for nothing.
Posted by: Aw on August 9, 2002 11:36 AMWe do all seem to have beautiful wives and fiancées, that's for sure. My Maria João is lovely too. These photographs are about four years old, but she's even more beautiful now.
She used to present the weather on TV (though she's a speech therapist working with adults with Down's Syndrome) and I fell in love with her the moment I saw here. Some day I'll tell you how hard I plotted and planned to catch her in my eager arms. But I've already written it in Portuguese so I'm lazy...
Posted by: Miguel on August 9, 2002 11:36 AMOh yes: the hotel where we got married and spent the first week of our honeymoon still uses this photograph of us on our wedding day to advertise its honeymoon package. From the back, of course - presumably so my ugly mug didn't put off prospective newly-weds... [You have to click on "Programs" and then on "Honeymoon"].

Sorry. Got you all beat. Here's a wedding pic. Of course, I only married my wife, not the 6 other people, but you get the idea.
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 9, 2002 11:48 AMAs I was going to suggest a "Girls of Meta" group picture...
One word. Say it with me.
Calendar
Posted by: jpoulos on August 9, 2002 11:48 AMThe calendar idea was tossed around the other night...it shall happen...
since we're all doing it...
Posted by: adampsyche on August 9, 2002 11:52 AMWow! Hey, imagine the MeTa thread that would result if someone posted "Here are my wedding pics. Anyone else got any wedding pics they'd like to share?" Even if you added some high-falutin' links about the structure of pictorial representation in conjugal ritual to try to shake off the hounds. ;)
Posted by: Miguel on August 9, 2002 11:55 AMRepeat after me: married people suck.
Including, and I'm looking at you Cold Chef, soon to be married people. (Excepting, of course, me and Timmy McCormick...) Won't someone love us pathetic aloners?
Who among us, is unattached?
Posted by: goneill on August 9, 2002 12:12 PMI wonder who'll be the first couple to meet and marry on 9622.
Posted by: jpoulos on August 9, 2002 12:33 PMyeah, well we are really cool too - and we have probably lots of really beautiful pets, or maybe some plants, and some people like us too, right...
Posted by: goneill on August 9, 2002 12:34 PMFor some reason I can't quite fathom, Evanizer calls to mind Dragos, villain of "Jason of Star Command".
What the hell is wrong with my brain??
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 9, 2002 12:57 PM(Y'know, I feel kinda bad because evan and I really don't know each other, and here I am making jokes at his exepense. I hope he realizes, if he ever reads this, that he is techincally a member of 9622. So he's fair game, and he should learn to accept it. There's no turning back. Did I fail to mention that in the Membership Contract?)
Posted by: jpoulos on August 9, 2002 01:00 PMdogmaticme, yuki is great, beyond great, but she falls short in one critical area, and that is her distaste for root beer.
Posted by: adampsyche on August 9, 2002 01:04 PMAnd Adam, you look like Jimmy on the 5:15 in that wedding snap. You didn't pop some blues during the ceremony did you?
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 9, 2002 01:07 PMHa! Consider it glaze from watching the flashing bulb a few too many times...
I did shave that day. But The Wife has professed a deep-rooted opposition to my plans to grow a beard like Richie in The Royal Tenenbaums. What gives?
Posted by: adampsyche on August 9, 2002 01:17 PMAlso, you guys and your S.O.s are significantly prettier than I had imagined.
You all act like you look like a bunch of dweebs.
:P
Posted by: brittney on August 9, 2002 01:26 PMWatch out, man! If you grow a beard it's only a matter of time until...

Mark my words!
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 9, 2002 01:27 PMI must say that the Meetup was chock full of more atractive people than, say, a Groups of Linux Users Everywhere (G.L.U.E.) meeting (for those of you who saw that on The Site That Shall Not Be Named.)
Posted by: adampsyche on August 9, 2002 01:30 PMNo, its probably the El Comandante look that I'm mainly opposed to for non-political reasons.
Anyhow, about that 9622 marriage proposal: forget about it. Instead let this be the litmus test for the fiancee! Monkey-loving approval!
Posted by: Aw on August 9, 2002 01:33 PMstop wiggling around, dammit! the binds are loosening!
Posted by: adampsyche on August 9, 2002 01:36 PM(er. not in that way. sickos.)

Posted by: Marquis on August 9, 2002 01:38 PMNo, don't stop posting, Marquis! Look: here's the 9622 Wives, Fiancées And Single Femmes Ensemble having a good, old-fashioned knees-up:

Thanks, Kaf (and I know what you meant, Marquis -- I think). But I gotta tell you, some of those "Single Femmes" in that chorus line will make a man think twice...
By the way, is 9622 becoming a Boyzone? Because if it is, why I'll ... I'll ... hmmm.
Posted by: pardonyou? Jeff on August 9, 2002 01:50 PMThat's it. Next Meetup, I'm going to New York. Or Portugal. Or wherever the dancing girls are.
And, goneill? You're right: married people suck.
Posted by: RakDaddy on August 9, 2002 01:51 PMCan't someone pretend to be married to me and say proudly, 'hey lads - check out my wife' har har har... What does it feel like to have someone other than your mother proud of you?
Posted by: goneill on August 9, 2002 02:21 PMI would, g, but i could never use the word "lads" with a straight face.
Posted by: jpoulos on August 9, 2002 02:26 PMI just look like somebody's middleaged mom.
My teenage girls are absolutely gorgeous. Which is why you will NEVER see their pics here!

Posted by: roe on August 9, 2002 03:10 PM(Using reverse psychology)
I don't even WANT to see pictures of your beautiful, beautiful daughters. I could care less.
Wow, Roe! You married Alan Cummings's taller brother, no?
Posted by: ColdChef on August 9, 2002 03:13 PMMy son is very handsome as well.
Not posting HIS pic either.
They got MY looks. Their father kept his.
Posted by: b****fire on August 9, 2002 03:26 PM*returns wearing red leather gimp suit*
Ok, Now I'm ready!
Posted by: boyzone on August 9, 2002 03:47 PMno, took the words out of my mouth. but my gimp suit was black.
Posted by: too late on August 9, 2002 04:01 PMdid I just cross a line there?
Wait, there are lines here? Well, I guess that was bound to happen sooner or later.

zip it.
Posted by: witchstone on August 9, 2002 04:13 PMis it the one where i have a threesome with gwen stefani and shirley manson?
Posted by: witchstone on August 9, 2002 04:25 PMexcellent. perhaps if enough people visualize it, it will actually happen.

*visualizes. likes very much. wants to be there if it actually happens*
Posted by: boyzone on August 9, 2002 04:40 PMI don't have any photos online to show you so you'll have to take my word for it that I make Catherine Zeta-Jones look like a rough old trollop while my boyfriend, Rhys, is a better-looking version of Jude Law.
BTW - could somebody who knows something about anything tell me why my posts don't show up until I've closed the browser and opened it again and what I can do about it? Ta.
Posted by: Summer on August 9, 2002 04:41 PMSummer, don't know if you've tried, but if not hit your "refresh" or "reload" button.
Posted by: pardonyou? Jeff on August 9, 2002 04:48 PMFrom the article above:
The family's organ-swap program was necessary because Jim suffers from prune belly syndrome. Due to the affliction, Jim's stomach muscles are undeveloped and his kidneys are prone to failure.
Ummm. Ya think they could have found a better name?
Oh, my... In person, the resemblence to Alan Cumming is less severe -- but, that picture...!!!
(And I have a crush on Alan Cumming, so it all makes sense, now -- I've been with him the ENTIRE TIME! :D )
Posted by: roe on August 9, 2002 05:59 PMdude, that's actually me and my bro, go easy...
that's the non-medical term --the real name is impossible to pronounce.
Posted by: tj on August 9, 2002 05:59 PMyou gave your brother a kidney? wow. that's really cool.
Posted by: witchstone on August 9, 2002 06:02 PMyeah, no biggie. It was more of a vacation, what with the painkillers and all.

Posted by: tj on August 9, 2002 06:20 PMthat is cool as shit, tj.
jonmc, that is perhaps the coolest picture. ever. the fat albert shirt just makes it real.
Posted by: adampsyche on August 9, 2002 06:31 PMWhy thank you adam. And witchy, stay away from my lunch, hah??

I also like this thinkin'. Some of you may remember my original South Park version of me:

It was the first thing I'd ever "uploaded" to the net (and done in a drunken rush, to get it onto the appropriate thread, I might add), so I'm a little proud of it.
However, as I have since involved the missus in my computin' shenanigans, here's her version of me:

I gotta admit, it's more life-like. But here's my version of my sweetie:

We both agree that one's accurate.
Posted by: yhbc on August 9, 2002 11:04 PMTJ is seriously cool.
I, like goneill, am seriously single. The M-word gives me hives. Big ones.
