Metaquotes

(I had to majorly condense this for it to make sense, but this whole conversation killed me)

In chat, after I cry about how Matt Good's dinner-date auction is way too expensive for me, Skyblade suggests kidnapping instead. I decide to hire him as my Celebrity Kidnapper (as do others). He’s very good:

QUOTE

#exiledprincess:: sky, you rough up davydenko, grab the right matt, and then swing by argentina and grab Juan Monaco
Instant Skyblade left
foresthouse:: ...Uh-oh.
foresthouse:: Sky's making the rounds
…
#Matthew Good joined
#exiledprincess:: heeee
foresthouse:: HAHAHA
#Matthew Good:: *mmmphhhrrr*
foresthouse:: SCORE.
Kallieopeia:: yay!!
foresthouse:: Sky is the BEST EVER
#Matthew Good:: *mmmmphmmmphhh*
#exiledprincess:: all hail sky
Kallieopeia:: I knew he'd deliver.

(later)

QUOTE

foresthouse:: Sky, don't let him have any cigarettes, they are bad for him
#Matthew Good:: *Mppppphwwwwaa???!*
foresthouse:: Matt. NO CIGS
#Matthew Good:: :(
foresthouse:: Don't be sad, Matt. People with sarcoidosis don't get cigs
#Matthew Good:: *mmMMMMMPHH!!*
foresthouse:: Oh, shit. Matt, did Sky bring your meds?
foresthouse:: I totally forgot to ask him.
foresthouse:: Y'all, I'm going to have manic Matt if sky forgot his meds
#Matthew Good:: *mmmbrmmphmphmm!*
#exiledprincess:: what's manic matt like?
foresthouse:: I don't think I want to know. I think he opens and closes all the cabinets in your kitchen and stuff
foresthouse:: Also he never sleeps
foresthouse:: crap
Kallieopeia:: sort of like a poltergeist?
foresthouse:: maybe. a poltergeist jonesing for a smoke
#Matthew Good:: *MPPPH MMM MMMMMPHHH!*
Kallieopeia:: he's getting kind of agitated
foresthouse:: I know. Maybe this was a bad idea
#Matthew Good:: *mmmrrrmmH*
Kallieopeia:: I think it's the cigarette thing
foresthouse:: Oh. OK. OK. ONE cigarette
foresthouse:: ONE
#Matthew Good:: :)
Kallieopeia:: haha
foresthouse:: Aw. Now I don't know if I'll ever be able to deny him cigs
Kallieopeia:: you know you won't
foresthouse:: I know. I'm such a softie
foresthouse:: Anyway, if he didn't have his meds or his smokes, I think he'd start climbing the walls
Kallieopeia:: yeah that wouldn't be pretty
foresthouse:: Seriously. I'd be all, "Matt, get off the ceiling!!"
Kallieopeia:: and he'd be all "mmmph!"

HEE.

It'd be bad to say 'Okay, now we can get the gun off him'?

Heh. If she's bad, then so is my mum, and so am I.

Among the outpouring of snark surrounding TWoP's most recent makeover, scout1207's contribution stands out:

It looks like Ronald McDonald exploded over there.

And while that may be an event many of us may have wished for in the past, it does not follow that we want it to happen all over what used to be quite a fun website.

RiverThames has the best theory in the I still don't get that thread regarding why there just might be a parade in Chicago on the middle of the weekday in Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Ferris Bueller's Day Off; What the hell kind of parade is held in the middle of a school day?

Well, maybe it's the Annual Sausage Festival. Abe Frohman was supposed to be there.

Though I wouldn't turn down Matt Damon even if he invited me to eat out of the dumpster behind the Taco Bell.

I for real laughed REALLY HARD out loud, but it caught me as a surprise and I had just put some of my dinner in my mouth, so a bean rolled off my lip and back into the bowl. It was such a great reaction that I could not let this go unmetaquoted.

Aw yay! Thanks Pumpkin Cake!

Gary Dourdan says the drugs in his car weren't his.

No mention made of whether the pants he was wearing were borrowed from someone else.

I don't think the pants were borrowed, but I suspect they may have been on fire.

Heeeeeeeee.

A friend of mine's daughter is going on a field trip next week. She has to fill out ANOTHER medical form, even though this is the fifth or sixth field trip form she's filled out this year.

This is the email I just got from her:

(Daughter) has a field trip next week. I have to fill out that blasted medical form AGAIN. This time, in the "Other facts we should know" answer space, I wrote: A skilled Eskimo and his wife can build an igloo in less than one hour."
