HAS THE HUMAN RACE OUTWITTED ITSELF? Discuss.
No.
Right now, for instance, I'm using my amazing mental powers - without any physical connections to you whatsover, mind you - to try to get you to go back to MetaTalk and realize that flaming out in anger is not an appropriate way to sign off, but simply taking some time away from a site can be - or not, depending on whether or not you choose to go back and visit from time to time, and, if you happen to stay for a while, do so.
There! Did you see that thing move? The one on the coffee table. I did that. With my powerful mind.

Posted by: ColdChef on February 19, 2005 10:01 PMIf the Commissioner's amazing mental powers don't work on ya, Crash, I have a few other tricks I can use. *wink*
Posted by: tizzie on February 19, 2005 10:09 PMCommish, my pal, I am not flaming out in anger. I'm simply realizing that I'm not interested in the direction Matt and Jess are moving the site. And that's OK. They're welcome to it. I have other interests into which I can channel my energies. And that, too, is OK.
Posted by: Crash on February 19, 2005 10:47 PMWell, okay then. I just worry about things when I see perfectly good bridges - heck, even older, worn-out bridges - being burnt down without a thought of maybe getting to use them once in a while again.
Oh, and sorry about the blood, chef, but this thing isn't all that accurate, to tell the truth.
Posted by: yhbc on February 19, 2005 10:59 PMThat's amazing, yhbc. And I don't even have a coffee table.
Posted by: Vidiot on February 20, 2005 12:18 AMWow. I just went over to MetaFilter. That was ugly.
Well, better to burn out than fade away, I guess.

Crash, at the risk of being selfish, I hope the other interests of yours that you plan to rechannel your energy towards don't pan out.
Posted by: Slack-a-gogo on February 20, 2005 12:53 AMNo. Much better to simply stop posting and not leave an "I'm leaving!" post. Sorry, I just have never ever ever seen anything good come of them.

Probably around age 9 or so, but I'm peculiar.

Posted by: ColdChef on February 21, 2005 08:29 AMI just asked Usher if his refridgerator is running. He said, "I have caller ID, you moron." I quickly hung up, but I think the caper was blown.

Posted by: Fes on February 21, 2005 09:15 AMI asked Prince Charles if he had Prince Albert in a can, and he said he did, and I said he'd better let him out, right?
Posted by: tizzie on February 21, 2005 09:35 AMYou should have told Usher you were calling about his refridgerator, not his caller ID. Caller ID will be another prank phone later in the day.
It really saddens me that a bunch of celebrities are going to be inconvenienced over the next few days. I'm sure a good script will come out of it all.

It has when you feel the need to explain your actions.

These will be the perfect bartender at every bar. Any dates to when the tattooed version comes out?
I just had a fascinating phone conversation with Mary-Kate Olsen about the age at which she began to question whether she had free will or asked questions like "how am I me and you you?".
Posted by: jpoulos on February 22, 2005 12:50 PMI just drove past an under-construction Mexican restaurant and took particular notice of the sign, b/c after a cursory glance, I thought it read "McNALLY CONSTRUCTION".
It almost did. Instead, it read "McANALLY CONSTRUCTION".
Nothing says quality sheetrock work like meticulously perverse Irishmen. I must go back for photographic evidence.
Posted by: ufez on February 22, 2005 03:18 PMSpeaking of anally, there is a lot of it going around, isn't there?
Posted by: tizzie on February 22, 2005 04:08 PMBack up. Wait. Back up.
Fes, did Usher call you a moron?
Usher?
Can't even button his own clothes, so he leaves them open Usher?
HAHAHAHAHA! I'm guessing he has no idea what the term means.
Posted by: Chico on February 22, 2005 04:57 PMActually, he called me an "...unmuzzled swag-bellied varlot!" but I was paraphrasing.
Posted by: Fes on February 22, 2005 05:15 PMsounds like ufez has uncovered my secret life.
Dan you. Damn you all.

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
