Yeah. There's NO WAY this will get out of hand.

9622: There's NO WAY this will get out of hand.

Heh. Should to make some rules of etiquette -- e.g., no self-tagging. (You can only tag something someone else has said. (In other words, Chef should've changed the name he posted that second comment under.))

Also, always contentious is the question of what sorts of alterations are permissible, or if only exact quotations are proper....

Monkey etiquette?
Well, usually we ask before we finish off somebody else's half-eaten banana. Does that count?

9622: Are you gonna eat the rest of that?

I'm pretty sure, with the way things be on this here site, that almost anything is acceptable. Especially whip-cream-covered-unruly-boners.

Especially whip-cream-covered-unruly-boners.

Are you gonna eat the rest of that?

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delovely!

Thank you, Lupo!

Matt's right though - strict rules for taglining, which transgressed, result in the flinging of gargantuan quantities of poo, are important.

Or not. But I do think self-taglining should be frowned upon.

psst, Lupo, i fixed your link. it worked on the home page, but not here (it was trying to link relatively to archives.)

Heh. BTW - I meant Matt from PU not Matt from MD or MF or Matt Cardoso or matdivs or matt resin or any of the other Matt-units.

9622: Man, eyeballkid is the coolest.

Second only to the HighballKid!

Y'know, if I got Miguel to adopt me, I could be Matt Cardoso. Hmmmm....

psst, Lupo, i fixed your link...

php, i can handle. <href>s, apparently, not so much.

I want to see how outta hand this can get...

No. I take that back.

Who's the bestest friend a site ever had?

Lupo! Lupo!!

Who's got the mad intarnet skillz?

Lupo! Lupo!!

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it with love and then a caramel or two?

The Candyman!

Who's the programmin' monkey that's a sex machine to all the chicks...

Lupo!!

Lupo's a baaad mutha....

(hush yo' mouth)

I would like to note, for posterity, that the mothership is down for maintenance and has a new tagline that says "Metafilte: anil's wrong, no jason's wrong."

I just found that amusing.

Considering that neither of them actually participate on the site (other than their extremely rare Special Guest Appearances), I find it a wee bit strange, actually. Ah well. They are the Keepers of The Box, so *genuflects*

Well, in fairness, anil does pop in relatively regularly if infrequently, I 'spose.

*instantly adopts eyeballkid; treating himself and the young 'un to brand new Canale suits and starting to sing:*

"Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty anils,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked anils,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad anils,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead anil,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of an anil
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard and it's a hard drive's a-gonna fall.

Caution : Level 2 Monkey Advisory!

Looks like my new dad has been hitting the sauce again. See what happens when you invite the wonderchicken over? I warned you, but what did you do? You did it anyway. That stain will never come out now.

9622: relatively regular if infrequent

What goes on over at the other spinoff? Anyone want to fill me in?

Things are going ape-shit at MetaFilter. And I mean that in a good way.

The SillyFilter has returned.

strict rules for taglining, which transgressed, result in the flinging of gargantuan quantities of poo

Exactly. The terms of the poo flinging must needs be better defined. As my great-grandpop always said, Once poo is flung, you can't unfling it. Best to be sure aforehand you've got the right....

9622: Once poo is flung, you can't unfling it.

Hey! Pfling your own pfucking pfoo!

Once poo has been flung, although it may be very difficult to unfling it, it will not do to let it remain flung. Even if death will surely result, it is best to unfling it. This is the way of the samurai.

Anyone save the MeFi wackiness before it spun dangerously out of control?

I blame myself.

Hey! Pfling your own pfucking pfoo!

Sorry. That foo has flung. Besides, it wasn't me, it was pfaff!

Even if death will surely result, it is best to unfling it. This is the way of the samurai.

I have no honor.

Erm, I mean -- pfaff has no honor!

There is much sagacity in the way of the monkey. Unflinging of flung poo shall open the way to enlightenment. Flinging unflung poo shall open the way to enlightenment. Flunging flinged poo shall be flung for all time, in all ways. So sayeth the koan of the simian path.

Ah. Here you all are.

Lupo, the random tagline thing is wicked cool. However, when one tries to access "www.9622.menacedbyelves.com", that now automatically resolves to "www.9622.net/index.php", of course, which causes big INTRUDER ALERT INTRUDER ALERT THIS SITE HAS BEEN BLOCKED BY SONICWALL GET BACK TO WORK YOU ASSHOLE screens to pop up on one commish's work PC.

I'm just sayin', is all.

Quit your job. Live of the land fat.

Quit your job. Live off the land fat.

Subtle.

I saw a woman the other day driving one of those Land Fats around in the grocery store parking lot. She was talking on a cell phone, and had three kids with her.

I shot her.

Trust me, it's for the better.

Hmmm...I'll see what I can do, commish.

Thanks, John - but my last comment was overly mean and unnecessary. I'd like to apologize, and explain. I'm having a bit of a rough time at the moment - I've got to put my cat D.C. down Wednesday morning. I've only had her for 18 years, so it's not like it's not a little upsetting or anything.

Sorry. I know that one more or less cats in the world isn't the biggest thing, but this one was mine. I was actually glad to see that I couldn't get to 9622 today, because that meant I didn't need to go to MeFi either (and waste even more time). I'll be a basket case tomorrow, and probably won't be back until afterwards. I've been scanning 18 years worth of cat pictures, and will post a catharsis memorial on my blog this weekend; hopefully that will help.

Bless all the monkeys, and all those who we take care of. It's hard sometimes.

Damn, that must hurt, Commish. One of my cats is fourteen and not a day goes by when I don't think about how sad it is that our lifespans are so unequal.

{{{{{{Commish}}}}}}
*cries*

Man, that's tough yhbc.

It's a sad thing that the pet contract includes that last duty. But you are doing the best thing for your kitty.

{yhbc}

Agreed. You are humble and beloved, commish.

Our little kitty friends love us well but not for long enough...I'm sorry, commish. I know how much it means to say farewell to an old, loyal friend. I'm sorry.

Commish, I am so sorry.

Once, I was feeling like a total idiot because I was bawling in a vet's office, right after having to make the decision to put our hamster to sleep.

The vet looked at me, and with great wisdom said love doesn't have a size.

You were able to have your cat for 18 years and that means it was very well cared for. I hope that thought brings you a bit of comfort. And for what it's worth I believe cats (and hamsters) go to heaven.

{{{{{{{{{commish}}}}}}}}}

Hopefully, not the same Heaven, or it could get a little rough for the hamsters.

kafkacan'tkeeptrackofallyournames: Is it perhaps a tad inappropriate for me to be laughing like a hyena after that comment?

I'm also sorry to hear about this, commish. I had to have my dog put down a little over a year ago and it still hurts when I think about it. Good luck, and keep your chin up.

This is selfish, trolling-for-more-hugs type stuff, but to close the loop I just wanted to mention that I did do my D.C. post. It helped, but I still miss her terribly. Thanks to everyone for their nice thoughts above, as well as to those in the comments that are there already.

I came in late for this, yhbc, but I'm really sorry about your cat. I know how you feel. I lost a cat once and I was distraught for weeks. English comic book writer and wacked-out shaman Grant Morrison cries just talking about the trauma he's gone through with his cats. Heck, my Neopet is sick and it bums me out ; ) Anyone got any Sporkle Syrup? It's tough to find...

BTW, thanks for mentioning this place to me, yhbc. I just now noticed the "If you'd like to join the fun, click here to contact us." Hope it's okay that I'm here, Kaf & cabal.

There is no cabal.

Glad you're around, shane - thanks, and no prob. I'll have the Grant Morrison conversation with you later. Big fan, myself.

Hope it's okay that I'm here, Kaf & cabal.

There is no cabal.

Maybe not, but there is the whole kit & caboodle.

hey, you all need to come to the MeFi IRC. EBK and I are there.

What's an IRC? No, seriously. A chat?

I've never been able to load the necessary stuff myself, but the IRC (I think it stands for "internet relay channel") was most recently discussed on this MetaTalk thread. If you figger it out, let me know.

Uh, nope, nothing I do to that irc://irc.metafilter.com:6667 URL ever makes it work. It just dangles in front of my face. Must be for the real secret MF cabal only...

No, we all lurk around here mainly. We're taking notes, young shane ...

Oy! We've warned you lot before about this. Now bugger off.

IRC is a snap. Start by downloading Mozilla. Then, whilst browsing with the 'zilla, use Matt's link in this thread. (i'm using trillian myself, but the mozilla integration to IRC is fast and simple. i'm on the mefi irc almost everyday now.)

Woops! I just realized Morrison is Scottish, not English. Just a correction.

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.
