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.
Fell around laughing when you referred to Cameron/Clegg as “HMG”.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on
the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw
away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could
be giving us something enlightening to read?
You know . . . I think he’s right!
I clearly do know what I’m talking about. Despite all evidence to the contrary. Frequently arrayed by my supportive spouse.
Dammit yes! I will click that link!
No video = no proof. (I think that’s what he’s saying.)
“Why throw away your intelligence”?
Intelligence is in short supply here and it is not missed.
This is an amusing place, not downright ridiculous.
Surely you meant “If not downright ridiculous.” Or, “When it is not downright ridiculous.”
For me, this is an absurd exercise in social media, a Sisyphean march to distant numerical milestones. I also come for the free coffee cake.
I accept both of your corrections but suggest “milestones” should read “minestrone” as I like soup as well as coffee.
Is numerical minestrone the less socially adept twin of alphabeti spaghetti?
Millstones?
We really do grind things into dust around here.
Grind? Coffee? No, I don’t even drink the stuff. Coffee is not my cup of tea, but coffee cake is. Hold the dust.
So dust is a must?
We could always Exit Planet Dust.
Space Dust?
Now that’s chemistry, brother.
But no Samuel L. Jackson in a kilt. That would be too expensive. And too weird.
Just keeping it ticking over.
Thanks, Nxxx. I knew we could count on you to do the heavy lifting. Some days I can barely muster the energy to crawl out of my tunnel.
Are you finding the “Post” button is getting heavier to press?
Suspect Moltz has forgotten to lubricate it.
Did someone mention something about lubrication?
Yes indeedee.
This should be dated pre common era.
Did it work?
Must… supress… urge… to make… comment… that will… lead discussion… into places… I’d rather not… see it go…
Excuse me, but the juxtaposition of Samuel L. Jackson in a kilt and lubrication could render this thread family unfriendly if care is not exercised.
Just for information,
Samuel L. Jackson, without kilt, was seen on TV at the Queen’s Club Tennis Final, yesterday.
Can anyone read the runes?
From the lack of response, must assume that Samuel L. Jackson lives at Queen’s Club and no one reads runes.
From the lack of commentary in general, I must assume that, all said and done, there is nothing more to say.
Which is strange, because here is a forum where we can say whatever we want to the best minds in the business. We can pitch our venture proposals, offer advice to newbies, complain…
Mmmh. Complain…
“best minds in the business” — I’m glad I had finished my drink when I read that. Would’ve spit-taked all over the MBP.
Though, depending on the business, that may be an accurate statement.
So 10.9 is to be called Mavericks, after a surfing site.
What are we going to do with all the liberated big cats?
Would you go down The Tunnels with that lot? Take a lot of “There’s a nice pussy” to get out.
More importantly, can we handle the subsequent OS being called something like “the 405”?
When venturing into the tunnels, be ready with a quip from “Are You Being Served?” to comment on the escaped kitties.
Those big cats don’t scare me. Not as long as I have Seigfried and Roy with me. I can run faster than they can.
Steve, I’m impressed. Your Blightyese is coming on leaps and bounds.
Like Mrs Slocombe’s pussy.
Which clearly should have been the name for a next Big Cat OS.
Failure to do so clearly renders Mr Cook’s tenure untenable. Remove him forthwith.
Summon Captain Peacock to attend to this matter before Young Mr. Grace finds out.
We need Del to say “I’m free.” and all our problems would be over.
Things are getting stranger than “usual” around here. Comments that are later in time are appearing earlier in the “stream” than they should.
Holy $#@! We broke the Internet!
Should’ve added more detail: see Sk8rCai and Ace’s posts from 25 June 2013. They are between the 16 June and 17 June posts.
Del… have you been playing with the space-time continuum again?
Boom!
Continuum broken…..for all!
I think it was an update to Windows or something!!
I always thought that I broke stuff and Del could fix it!
*shrugs*
Have the runes been read or just bled?
I dont’ think it’s broken. I wondered how Cai had commented earlier in the stream, so I clicked the “Reply” link under his comment, commented, and voila! Try it yourself. It’s a great way to steal the 7000th post! Once we get there, that is.
Dammit!
You’re revealing the magic, you fool!
Damned logic. And damned non-indenting reply to comment display structure.
Ace, don’t you think Del messing with the space-time continuum would be more _fun_??
I think I’ll go have a drink. Unless someone beat me to it. I don’t think the dog can open the liquor cabinet…
I think Del IS messing with the space-time continuum.
And it is fun, but messing with Del would be more fun. Where the frack is she?
“CARS needs Women”
Last I heard she was going out for a pack a cigarettes mumbling something about the Large Hadron Collider, Kermit the Frog and crossing the streams….
beats me!
The time continuum is busted, got back to replying to the first post.
This is POWER and Moltz doesn’t know.
It occurs to me that since all the versions of the OS were named after large cats, the appellation to close out the series should have been Big Pussy. Then move on to naming them after high dollar brothels, or possibly legislators (semantic difference),
You could use the Big Pussy version of OS X underwater only. Wit’ ‘dem little fishies.
Pardon the off-topic tech question, but I sold my house, so now I can afford to upgrade my 10-year-old Dual G5 Power Mac to something more contemporary and compatible with the 21st century. Should I wait for the new Mac Pro, get a loaded 27″ iMac, or just get loaded?
While I’m at it, I think I will upgrade from my 4-year-old iPhone to one of the newer ones, such as an iPhone 5. Either that, or an old Motorola satellite phone. which do you recommend?
Just getting loaded is never the wrong answer.
And even more unrelated: Good luck to our cousins over the next few days/weeks. We keep hearing something (like every frickin’ newscast) about some baby being born in England. Drives me batty. Hope you can stay away from it, should you choose to do so.
And congrats on Mr. Froome’s nice performance so far. Thursday should be most interesting.
Mr. Froome is a Kenyan and the second African to wear Yellow.
Unfortunately it is a requirement that every citizen is present at a Royal Birth. Bit crowded.
Ace, may I make a suggestion, please? As you will only spend your new found wealth on fripperies, why not send it to me, and I will not reveal to everyone that you are John Moltz.
Since an industry of impersonators has sprung up around Elvis, it shouldn’t surprise us that there are many Moltz impersonators also, such as John Gruber. If there were any money in it, I would be a Moltz impersonator. However, the market is saturated.
Nxxx, what about Mr. Cavendish? Does it count since he’s from Isle of Man?
Steve,
Good question and if I was a politician, that would be it but Cav, Pete Kennaugh and Cal of the motorised variety, are only represented by the UK government for foreign relations and defence. As Manx is a Viking language, they have to attend all Royal Births in Scandinavia. My opinion? Seem one, seen them all.
They have to watch British royal births from Scandanavia? Or watch Scandanavian royals be born? (Or it that bjorn?)
More importantly, who gets to cut the umbilical cord? I mean, if you’re all forced to attend, shouldn’t you at least get to pitch in?
National Lottery.
Second Prize is (No, this a a family friendly board.
I feel sorry for the mother, as royal births are always a royal pain.
I thought Royal Pains was a TV show on this side of the pond.
It was hell!
I won a front row seat in the lottery and the second prize. It was given to me in a transparent bag and I had to get home by bus.
Considering treason next time.
It’s the kudzu of the Interwebs – it’s everywhere and there’s nothing we can do to stop it.
