LONG LIVE THE MEGA-POST!
You should be able to view it again, but Masako had to shut off the comments at…
3821.
She had to delete one spam comment to get it viewable again (link).
Please, let’s hear a big round of applause for all of you who posted in the Mega-Post and kept it alive for a year and four months. Please use this comment thread to post your fondest memories of the post with the most…
the Mega-Post.
Thanks for that.
Now, just don’t tell me who Santa Claus really is — it would spoil the “magic” of Christmas. Ditto for the Grinch and the Easter Bunny.
Happy future to you all, if at all possible, as we live in interesting times.
I’m late this Macalope Revelation. Kind of like the Wise Men. Which is clearly what we Three have become.
Tardy Tidings anyway, my friends. I found myself fretting about how we would remain in contact were this site to go the way of The Entity the other day so if we can get John to ferret across to each other our emails without having to publish in the clear (where they’ll doubtless get harvested by ‘someone’ telling us this site is amazingly insightful) that might ease my unease. We should look into it. Not to cease posting, clearly – there must be some kind of record we’re now approaching, surely – but just as a safety net.
Or at least provide a social media handle. I think Bluesky might be the most viable option going forward.
Up to you.

Both of your ideas intrigue me. Let me put together a few of my functioning brain cells together … just need a few more synapses … ahh, there, I think I’ve got it. Normally I don’t give out my email address — wanting to keep a low profile like a paramecium — but in your case I’ll make an exception. Feel free to send me an email at this address:
MacalopeNxxxMoltzdrkMacalope@NxxxinfuzoMoltz.com
I’m not dyslexic, but may have made a typo in there somewhere. You might need to remove a few characters, like references to our landlord here at CARS, or to our friend whom we haven’t seen for a while. In the subject line of your email, put the name of the prison from which our friend escaped into orbit. I shall reply when you have passed my inconsequential security checks.
If you are a robot, please disregard this comment.
My god . . . I’ve found us! I usually just click in the Recent Comments bit. But then . . . what Fresh Hell is this! John’s returned! Signalling the CyberApocalypse, presumably.
I need a lie down.
BroMu,
Glad you weren’t in a coma. A lot of that going around lately…
Got stuck in a comma once.
Or was it a roundabout? Or do our cousins prefer “traffic furniture?”
Steve, are you sure it wasn’t Infinite Loop?
When discussing my potential comma-toes state, my wife did observed ‘how would be tell’, specifically in relation to my entertaining and vibrant contributions to family life.
She’s a keeper.
Fact-checking the Macalope (admittedly a pointless exercise) in a recent post:
« “Ugh, it’s so much easier if we just let it read the entire internet, why can’t we just do thaaaaaat?” they complain as they idly toss lit matches into piles of $10,000 bills. »
Wikipedia on US currency denominations: “They were originally printed in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. The $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 denominations were last printed in 1945 and discontinued in 1969, making the $100 bill the largest denomination banknote in circulation.”
Tsk, tsk.
Testing…testing… 1, 2, 3… is thing even on?
Copy that, Ace. Read you 5 by 5. Over.
Roger that. The glitch in the matrix has been patched with another glitch. I think it’s all patches of glitches.
Or is it glitches all the way down?
I’d boggle my mind but I lost the dice.
Have fun working on Friday, cousins!
Signed,
Some treasonous colonials
