Were you thrown out by the Fruit of Islam? Was there anyone name Muzone involved?

No, teo! Too meta!

Were you physically ejected? Because that would be rad.

There's no such thing as too meta, ben.

I was tempted to note the irony myself.

Whatever it is that's interesting about "meta" is contained wholly in the move from first to second order. Any further applications of the move may be abbreviated "and so on".

I'd like to announce a brilliant discovery:
if you put Godiva Cocoa powder which you have in your kitchen for no known reason in the bottom of your coffee pot (nb: don't buy this coffe machine), when the coffee drips down into it you end up with something resembling, but not quite like, mocha.

So they don't welcome seven foot blondes at the Nation of Islam? You need to tell this story.

What's wrong with that coffee machine?

The real question is what's wrong with my spelling of late. Personally, I blame the other commenters who have stopped mercilessly noting typos and other types of error.

The coffee is somewhat weak (forcing one to use an unusually high ratio of beans to water) and the cleaning requirements arduous.

More importantly, what was FL doing in the headquarters of the Nation of Islam? Is this some long-running Unfogged topic of which I am entirely unaware? And even more importantly, why did he get thrown out?

Yeah, you can't tease us like that and that not bring the details.

Is 3 a reference to Achewood? Because I kind of think of teo as Phillippe.

SB doubts my theory that there is enlightenment to be attained at the 13th and the 17th levels of meta.

Actually, the farthest I've ever gotten is about level five meta: "Some comments on the historiography of the hstory of literary theory".

"In his response to Scott Erik Kaufman's recent Valve post distinguishing two different ways of discussing the history of literary theory, John Holbo...."

I didn't blow anyone off! When Armsmasher wanted a meetup he got a big post. *sniffle* We had to make do with muttering about in comment threads. So it didn't come together.

FL, you need to tell us the rest of story you hint at.
