"I'm just trying to swallow my outrage at your placement of an image on the front page."

Metafilter goes wild after a front page post displays a tiny red moving dot and Mathowie declines to delete it. Keep scrolling.

Wow... that thread really went everywhere, didn't it?

I wonder why I don't peruse Metafilter more. Posts like that perfectly fit my ADD addled mind.

I am in awe of Metafilter. I have read it for years. I have an account but have maybe commented twice and can't imagine daring a front page post. It's a very self-enforcing operation. They've built up their values, and they really mean it. It's fascinating to watch. For writing, I prefer my own domain over here. But I really adore those people.

LOL! How addictive--even though my eyes are going nuts.

I like the black kitty with the wicked red--eyes?, the factory one, and the Hitler eating a--wooden?--watermelon.

The fire-butt one is just whacked, though--as is the one featuring Stewie, or whatever his name is.

Alan: Speak English! I don't do SF series.

Wait--never mind: My translator just got back home.

"Battlestar Galactica: the best show on television."

Well, at least I recognize the name.

(Hangs head in shame at all my unhip glory.)

The canine answer to Cylon kitty?

I liked the cylon kitty too.

Are we going to start prepping to be the five millioneth visitor?

SteveR - You inspired me to click on the SiteMeter link and I've been browsing. The kinds of google searches that bring people here never fail to fascinate me.

I hate to ridicule the silly ones out in the open, though. I'd feel terrible if the poor person were stumbling through the comments and suddenly felt naked.

There's a Cylon kitty? Damn, I missed that! Going back now...

There's a real feeling of catharsis.

I guess my browser can't handle the page.
