As a tactless person myself, I think that Megan got a bum rap and should not be put on the Unfogged permanent shit list. You tactful people with your East Coast parties should just.....
Where is everyone? I crave unfoggedian entertainmet. Especially since I'm at work. Thanks for nothing.
I was just going to say the same thing, annie. Twelve comments in twelve hours? Is there some monster Unfogged meetup going on in Hawaii that I have not been informed of?
4: Well, it's just after 8am in Hawaii now, so if anyone's here they may have been asleep. And if they are and they didn't tell me, I'll be pissed too.
Weekends are always slow around here.
I'm comment here, but that would suggest that my attention could be diverted from Texas football.
Peace, children!
The software was rejecting comments for 3-4 hours.
Megan got a bum rap and should not be put on the Unfogged permanent shit list.
She's not even on the Unfogged temporary shit list, is she?
There are certain former commenters who are referred to, without being named, in only the harshest terms. For example, the guy who was huffy about Sausagely's spelling, or the guy who threatened to out FL. This post made it seem that Megan might get that treatment.
And AEC should come back, too, if she can stand to deal with the envy raditating from people who earn about 5% as much as she does per hour.
This post made it seem that Megan might get that treatment.
No no no. I just thought it was a funny cartoon. Honest. I'm a nice guy.
Who's AEC? The only person I know by those initials doesn't comment here.
Honest. I'm a nice guy.
Some of my best friends are Megans.
An English Courtesan. Her tenure here was short.
I myself am short and did not mean to cast aspersions on her tenure. It was quite a nice tenure, but a very short one.
20: I don't think the answer to that is yes in either sense of the term 'out', but 13 is using it in the 'strip away his internet pseudonymity' one.
I thought this was a nice summary of the comment thread where AEC appeared.
21: Why did AEC (ÆC?) leave? I recall her as charming and amusing. Was there a falling out?
Many were skeptical and mocking.
Not that this is a blog about credulity and fuzzy bunnies. (OR IS IT?)
After the first day we assumed she'd never come back and were talking about her snarkily. She did come back and got pissed off.
For me I'll admit that it was envy. She earned something like 30 times my best wage and, according to her, got her rocks off too.
Oh. Shame, that is. You guys pissed Farber off, too, right? Is there a link to that thread? Something about Lebanon, I think.
I don't know if I said anything snarky, but I didn't believe her.
Also, FF 2.0 with the built-in spell checker? Pretty awesome.
Pomegranate molasses is some sour shit, yo.
I'd hate to think Megan was on anyone's shit list for that post. And I felt a little bad about AEC, but not really -- there just didn't seem to be any possible way of interacting with her other than awed flirting, which I'm not appropriately gendered or orientationed for, or making fun of her.
LB, at least you could have tried.
I missed the last ~500 comments of that AEC thread. Wow.
She did assume LB was male for some reason, so yeah, she could definitely have tried. I'm not necessarily saying she should have, though.
Orienteering is an adventure sport for all!
I want to see an I'm-a-bester-woooman-than-she match between AEC and that Paisley Passey Packie Person. I really do. I really, really do. And I want Charlie Sheen to be the judge.
I've met a couple of very high end mistresses. They've been far less self-congratulatory.
Is Megan good-looking? I'm considering taking her side in this dispute, and I want to have all the relevant information.
I'm kind of boggling at her latest post on small gatherings. Small goes up to 36 people. I don't think I know 36 people.
I should give it up and move to a mountaintop cave. After all, life is a fountain.
Yeah, exactly. What she calls a "small gathering" I would call a "party." The advice is good, though.
Adam: Her profile picture looks quite nice.
Will encouraging Adam in this behavior drive Megan off even more?
32 gets it exactly right. And, re 43, it appears from that thread that she was willing to go out with w-lfs-n, so Kotsko shouldn't be out of the question.
This Megan story is too funny:
When my sister and I were about two and four, my Mom woke up from a dream, crying and hitting my Dad. She dreamt that my Dad had taken the two of us to the pound and left us there, to be adopted. Mom wasn't upset about that; they had talked it over and agreed to give us up at the pound. No, Mom was wrecked because it cost fifty cents per day to feed each of us. Dad had only left three dollars, so my sister and I only had three days to get adopted before they put us down.
I am often tempted to take my children to the pound. I fear, though, that I would just come back with more puppies, rather than fewer children.
I'm nowhere near w-lfs-n's league.
When my son was young I often thratened to make him into soup, but after awhile the threat lost its power.
I'm nowhere near w-lfs-n's league.
What is w-lfs-n's league? I'm not even sure what sport he's playing.
My sisters always threatened to take me back to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. I assume that was a reference to something. My dad always threatened to send us to charm school in Atlanta, for which he must have seen an advertisement; we knew that threat was hollow since charm school would be expensive and my dad was a cheapskate.
The Daisy Hill Puppy Farm is where Snoopy came from, isn't it?
That sounds right. Back when I was four or five, I was really concerned about that threat.
Hook 'em Ben w-lfs-n woo!
Is anyone watching this Notre Dame conclusion?
Looking at the pictures, I don't think she's strikingly beautiful enough -- she'd have to really blow my mind to make up the negative points scored by being really into "fun."
Kotsko, you jackass. Go sate yourself with pictures of underage anti-abortion activists, why don't you?
Yeah, 57 came off kind of horrible.
Kotsko would not be good enough for anyone good enough for him. I have made the same diagnosis of Nietzsche. In fact, I have asserted that this (the desire / desirability difference) is the driving force of Western Ciivilization.
So I guess I've kind of taken a side by default, while simultaneously alienating the members of my side.
Overall, a victory.
Hey is anybody noticing Blogger not working? I wanted to follow FL's links to LGM and Unclaimed Territory but didn't get much of anywhere, and then I wanted to put some stuff on my new "Coming out of the Cave" blog but was unable.
I'm kind of boggling at her latest post on small gatherings. Small goes up to 36 people. I don't think I know 36 people.
Heh indeedy. I'd have to put out flyers at work and on the street to get three dozen people over at my place.
Hey is anybody noticing Blogger not working?
Yeah,, it's been screwed up for me today too.
Yeah, boo to 57 because
1. This is no way to create comity
2. After all this discussion about rating women's appearance, I was unsure if it was ok to *compliment* someone's profile pic. And here you go insulting it.
I didn't mean to directly insult her -- I was trying to say that she would basically have to be one of the most beautiful women in the world in order for me to date someone who likes to have fun. In a way, I was intending to insult myself and call myself boring.
Anyway, Megan, if you're out there, I apologize for comment #57.
look, adam, I understand.
I mean, I think you're so godawful ugly I want to puke just *imagining* a picture of you, but that's really just a way of saying that I'm boring.
So I'm with you on this one.
What isn't, really, just a way of saying "I'm boring," when you get right down to it?
36 people would be a very large gathering for me, especially as my little apartment can only hold about ten comfortably since there's no backyard.
I also get the sense that Megan's parties have a lot of people who have never met each other before.
if I threw a party for 36, it would have a lot of people who had never met *me* before.
(esp. if they accepted the invitation.)
Okay, now I'm going to be passive-aggressive and clarify post-apology -- I said that she wasn't "strikingly beautiful enough" and didn't completely "blow my mind." That is surely a far cry from saying she's ugly!
Megan was 7.3 on the beauty scale, and Adam's mind was .15 blown.
O, how far I've fallen from my previous militant feminism!
now he's going to try to tell us he only meant to cal himself 0.15 boring.
Adam, as explained to Megan herself, apologizing doesn't help. "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke" is the only proper blogospheric response.
Here, let me try it: kid bitzer, just fuck off.
there: now Megan feels much better. I accept your apology, on her behalf.
