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 thought that Del was the resident tunnel expert. Or is she the Chief Critter Wrangler/Creator?
Oh. Crikey! (Apologies for likely misspelling that.) I didn’t realize I would trigger a page jump. More stress for BroMu’s eyes.
Del, having been absent for so long, is the obvious scapegoat for all that is wrong with the tunnels, critters, wormholes, sexbots (or lack thereof), catering, iFlames, pirate lore, and the womanly touch. when she returns, there will be hell to pay, but I’m not sure by whom.
I am also blaming her for my neglect in placing capital letters at the beginnings of sentences.
I’m not afraid, as long as the Pond stays between us.
‘My eyeeeeees!’
God I love that film.
Although I can’t remember if it’s Hot Shots. Or Fatal Instinct. Or Naked Gun.
Actually, I love *all* those films.
And where’s our damned pudding over IP?
We have a holiday weekend coming up and I’d like something silly to look forward to.
Gentlemen do not blame ladies.
It’s all your fault, Del.
Memorial Day? Pudding?
How in heck can one barbecue pudding?
I presume you mean boneless pudding, right?
Bone-in pudding is better for grilling, but is mucks up the whole “over IP” part.
And “it” mucks up my typing as well…
Where did everyone go?
Still digesting the news from yesterday’s WWDC keynote?
Will go for the new X, well it will be free, except how do you pronounce it?
You pretend you are Sylvester Stallone visiting in Israel: “Yo! Semite!”
Am I the only person noticing that (despite claims in a “recent” CARS post) John Appleseed is still with Apple?
I also failed not to fail to notice the absence of a hibernating Mansfield.
It’s a conspiracy, I tell you.
Now if you’ll just excuse me I’m off to re-watch that bit at 1hour 45 minutes (and 50 seconds) where the WWDC Swifty nerdgasm peaks with that fat-n-flushed Craig Fereghi wannabee clapping maniacally in the front row.
And I clearly refute the accusation that I have downloaded the Swift iBook for my bedtime reading.
PS: Apparently I can’t type ‘Ferengi’ properly past ten at night.
Why does this site not have an edit facility?
You’d think that would have been first on the feature list, given the clientele it attracts?
Editing of posts after the fact is long overdue. There are a number of entries from 2005 that I regret.
It would all be edited.
Is that the polite way to say deleted?
Edileted? De-un-redacted? Revisorated?
Where is Dubya when we need the wrong word?
There are potential edits that we know about. And potential edits that we don’t know about. But what of the potential edits we don’t know we don’t know about?
Nxxx, if you want to edit all 6388 of these comments, you have my permission to do so (if you even needed it in the first place).
Aside: fat-finger syndrome almost had persimmon previously. Not like that would have made much more sense.
Happy Friday!
Could you apply to the CIA whilst we apply to GCHQ for whatever was edited by them on CARS or shall we just contact Snowden?
I’m afraid we can’t contact Snowden because kind old Mr Putin says he’s feeling poorly today.
Although if Steve could just hack into the FSB’s surveillance network I’m sure we’d be able to check how he’s settling in on any number of monitors.
Had I known Steve was a hacker, I would have had hired him to facilitate editing of CARS posts (post posting) long ago.
When I had money.
In fact, had you known Steve was a hacker you would still have money.
Ace doesn’t. Hasn’t for quite some time.
And BroMu, in a few minutes, neither will you.
Blame Jack Bauer.
Leave me out of it Steve. At 77, my sole means of support is mugging teenagers. Unfortunately they have no respect for old age, they are fighting back.
Kids these days. When I was a youngster, we had enough respect to hand our wallets over to our elders when being mugged, no questions asked, and thanks given as well for lightening the load.
Luxury.
When *I* was a youngster we had enough respect to hand our wallets over to our elders when being mugged *and* still had change from a sixpence to get mugged again by some Teddy Boys on the way home. Possibly in a sceptic tank.
BroMu, I doubt your story very much. Though I wish they’d let us sceptics out of this bloody tank.
But then the other sceptics could spot where you are.
A severe case of scepti seeing ya.
The evangelist tried rubbing anti-skeptic cream on me but I still didn’t buy it.
I feel a little guilty for posting so many comments on the new “product quadrant” article that Mr. Moltz put up the other day. I was trying to get my shots in before being crowded out.
But the crowd has better things to do, apparently.
We’re the arse of CARS.
Rump. I meant ‘We’re the rump of CARS’.
A rose by any other name … uh, nope.
So why is the Parson’s Nose so popular with Turkey noshers?
Not Nicolas Parsons’ Parson’s Nose, surely?
I see our Dear Leader has popped up on MacWorld again.

You have to wonder at the executive decision-trail that led to them letting the Big M loose on a wider audience. Does the expression ‘track record’ (or more accurately ‘rap sheet’) not figure in managerial thinking?
Two things:
1. Notice that it was posted at 3:00am, perhaps in the hopes that no one would see it.
2. His Royal Moltzness might still be riding high on the batshit crazy (yet eerily accurate) prediction he made for Macworld about the iPhone having only one button before it was released.
It’s weird to see Moltz as a “legitimate” pundit; not too unlike Al Franken working at the Capitol.
He’s now too legit to quit.
To twit for wit?
Too sexy for his shirt?
Not so sexy that it hurts. But I’m a poor judge of that.
You dress up as a judge, Steve?
Nice.
What are your rates?
No dress-up here. Unless it’s within the confines of playing with younger daughter (age 6).
I’m a poor judge because my rates are too low. Thanks to the internet, every Tom, Dick, and Harry is doing the judging for free, so how can I compete? How can I differentiate myself from the cut-rate posers who normally wouldn’t be able to judge themselves out of a paper bag? We with the knack of great discernment have been passed by in this age of self-appointed arbiters of worth, and are now flung carelessly into the dustbin of history.
Unless I’m a poor judge of judging…
Ace,
You are on this forum.
Case proven.
Check Old Sparky.
I suspect Tom, Dick and Harry have been following the trend in migrating from FaceBook to that new judicially-oriented social network, ThrowTheBook (At ‘Em), where you can ‘like’ such diverse sentences as ‘Community Service with Kanye’ and ‘Burn the Witch (She Turned Me into Newt)’.
BroMu, it might be more important if _every_ Tom, Dick, and Harry (like Ace mentioned) were doing it.
Ace – Here in Philly, you don’t even have to have gone to law school to be a judge. And you can take bribes (if you had the fortune to be a traffic court judge). Sadly for you, they have closed traffic court.
Ace,
Thought about being the French President?
Some nut on the Beeb News last night saying that the French President should not be prosecuted during their lifetime. As the French aren’t known for satire, Le Canard Enchaine excluded, should be worth a go.
