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.
I really like it when folks come together and share opinions.
Great website, continue the good work!
Why, thank you, person-whose-link-I-refuse-to-click. I’m sure that the work we are doing here at the Giga-Post will make the world a better place for our children, including capitalists and zombies.
And for zombie children, zombie capitalists, and (most importantly) child capitalists.
Or, as we used to put on our football pools coupon, “Perm any 8 from 14:.
Nxxx, you lost me at “perm.”
Short for “Permutation”.
The biggest prize on the old football, i.e. soccer, pool coupon was for predicting eight score draws on the coupon with English, Scottish and even the odd Welsh league teams. To save you having to write out hundred of lines, you stipulated the number of ‘bankers’, that is those you chose, and wrote “Perm any 8 from x, your number of bankers, = y lines at a whatever you were staking per line. Those were whole perms, they also offered plans.
Now I’m confused too.
Yeesh!
They even make illegal gambling overly complicated.
So what happens if someone needs to break someone else’s kneecaps for not paying up? Do they need to fill out a form or do a song and dance first?
No but you had to produce your “I have attended a Royal Birth” certificate.
I note that Capaldi’s the new Dr Who.
I don’t watch it now (the Doctor’s become too celebrity-heroic-oooh-aren’t-I-great for my taste), but I’m definitely hoping for some Tucker-esque dialogue.
In case any of our colonial cousins are as yet in the dark about the arcane delights of Tucker’s Muse, here’s a quick burst . . .
BroMu,
Fascinated by how you managed to put a black rectangle with a white arrow head in it and much more important, what;s the significance please?
May I just say what a comfort to find someone that truly understands
what they’re talking about on the web. You definitely realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people should check this out and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you are not more popular because you surely have the gift.
Dear Mr. XLerater,
Thank you for your heartfelt appreciation of our important work here at the Giga-Post.
I would try your product, but my muscles are already so fast that I can’t seem to catch up to them.
Mussels fly away from me too, Ace. Is this reaction solely confined to vegetarians?
See, Muscle Xlerator appreciates my web savvy.
I take it the video link to ‘The Thick of It’ isn’t showing up on your browser then, Nxxx? It’s all fine on mine, though.
Hmmm.
I think that makes me the New Jobs.
Like the Dali Lama.
Certainly I saw his yacht and said ‘It’s mine, it’s mine!’
I feel that puts me in a good position to negotiate with China over the iPhone.
BroMu,
Browser?
In Croydon a “browser” is a member of our vast herds of wild cattle and sheep and they look nothing like a black rectangle with a white arrow head, except that black sheep that does have an arrow head in it.
You been visiting BroMu?
I’m banned from Croydon after we took the mickey out of your mayor a few years ago, Nxxx. He sent the town crier to warn me. It was quite dramatic.
I imagine it was quite dramatic, with all that crying.
Steve, it wasn’t so much crying, more drying.
I would just like to point out that 9th September is the 8th anniversary of the MegaPost’s death, and I thought we would all like to suggest an appropriate way to commemorate . . . the huge amount of time we’ve wasted here playing Pimp my Corpse.
And if that last phrase doesn’t get us flagged by the NSA I don’t know what will.
Sorry for the lack of posts. We’ve been too busy twerking on this side of the pond to do much else.
I just learned about twerking. Apparently it’s a pastime of groups of displaced Disney characters. Reportedly Hannah Montana was accompanied by Buzz and Woody or some such ménage á trois.
That is a disgusting suggestion RR, not only the attempt to smear these totally innocent persons but using French to increase the titillation.
Not certain about the relationship between Masato and a certain JM though.
Is it wrong to find the word ‘titillation’ titillating?
We long ago went beyond wrong vs. right, or hip vs. square. We have entered the realm of droolworthy vs. meh.
Ace,
My eyes must be going: at first glance, I thought the last comparison was droolworthy vs meth.
Methylated Spirits is okay providing you’ve enough orange juice to disguise the disgusting taste. Hic!
Need to add:-Only drink from crystal.
Crystal meth?
Cousins,
Believe yesterday was labour day.
Trust you had a good time and the delivery was successful.

I wasn’t parading, like some folks. So I managed to avoid the rain.
Just seen the third in the series, Watership Down, Blackhawk Down and White House Down.
Where were the rabbits, please?
You neglected a couple of others in the time-honored series, including Falling Down and Dead Man Down. I found the whole lot to be poorly constructed as a multipart saga.
Please, don’t bring me down (whether you are Bruce or not).
And, you can’t catch me ’cause the rabbit done died.
‘Don’t Bring Me Down’ [ELO] was surely on the soundtrack?
Also . . .
‘Down, Down’ [Status Quo]
‘All Fall Down’ [Ultravox]
‘Lay It Down’ [Spock’s Beard]
‘Tie Your Mother Down’ [Queen]
‘Down In It’ [NIN]
‘The Sun Goes Down’ [Level 42]
‘Burning Down’ [Kings X]
and
‘Downtown’ [Petula Clark]
I was going to add ‘Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport’ but Operation Yewtree impounded my copy.
For bonus points, match the song with the film!
“Tie me kangaroo down” was the theme song of “St. Trinian’s becomes nuns.” wasn’t it?
Abbeyton Down?
Egads!
I just realized that we completely missed the 8th birthday of this post! Or maybe I just missed the party.
Let’s hope nobody calls Post Support Services on us for being neglectful.
Stop showing off Steve, just because you can count…………….
. . . . . . on us to be ‘there’ for you.
I don’t really know where ‘there’ is.
I’ve always assumed its somewhere quite smutty?
Gritty: Yes.
Smutty: You really, really wouldn’t want that. Not here. No sir. Please move along. Nothing to see here.
People have often told me not to go “there.”
Until I ignore their advice, I can only conjecture as to smuttiness. I suspect it is very smutty, or there are piles of money lying about that they’d rather I not take.
Should there be an official The Mega-Post is Dead scale of smuttiness?
We could agree that a certain grade is “there”.
Perhaps what remains of the tunnels might be a suitable starting point but Del’s critters interbreeding, would make it moveable, defeating the original object.
Ace, who told you about the money?
I need to have a little “conversation” with them.
Nxxx, has anyone checked on the stability of the tunnels lately? I’m too scared to do it; Del’s dabbling in evolution gives me the wiggins (not Bradley).
Holy mother of Moltz!
We forgot Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Aaaaarrrrrhhhh me farties.
The opportunity to say “avast!” is nearly past!
Shiver mi fingers, I forgot to put it in mi iCal!
Yaarrrrrrg!
How about a Mega-Post is Dead Talk Like a Pirate Days on non Talk Like a Pirate Day?
Ay Dios mio!
That means we be havin’ t’ talk like pirates ev’ry day! Yargh! That be a good thing, me thinks.
Celebration!
Whose turn in the barrel, me Hearties?
Due to contractual obligations, I am not allowed to talk like a pirate this year. However, I will continue to walk like a pirate.
