Oh, no! Such a fixture here and a good guy. I believe he joined around the same I did so his name has always been part of MeFi for me.

Okay, I'm trying to catch up on this thread. However, I have to say I find it amusing that I did a quick browser window search and got this.

(For the record, I am uncomfortable with laughing about these rich guys getting drowned/squished, while also knowing that I would go out of my way to piss on Kissinger's grave once he finally kicks it.)

My full name is Shannon Ellery Hubbell, which isn't exactly strange but sort of unique, and a bank teller once told me that my name sounds like it belongs to a novelist.

I'm finally properly playing WITCH3R. I had several false starts where I got distracted and had to restart later because I had forgotten all the controls and story.

This game rules.

I don't think the "Fan" in "Fanfare" is supposed to be taken literally.

Thanks to my Secret Quonsar I now have a lovely Tupuxuara to fill out my prehistoric menagerie, along with a big container of Garbage Bag Candy. I didn't know garbage bag candy was a thing, but it is and it's delicious!

You're welcome, Annabelle74!

I believe the MeFi name of my benefactor is brundlefly, if I'm reading their handwriting correctly.

I can certainly understand how my handwriting would be an issue.

I have a history of accidentally making celebrities uncomfortable in restaurants.

One time I was eating dinner with my mother, telling her how great the movie Matinee is and how great John Goodman is in it. When I left the table to use the facilities I realized that Goodman himself was seated at the table next to ours and was looking at me rather suspiciously.

A few years later I was at another restaurant and gave the… [more]

I have never: gone on a date, driven a car, rented an apartment, or had a job interview

Oh, right. I've never had a driver's license for reasons I used to have trouble articulating. Luckily for me I was diagnosed as epileptic a few years back (I don't think I've ever mentioned that here.) which makes for a quick explanation that shuts people up.

I'm already working on my own thriller. It's about a boy who is afraid of cats and every day when he walks to school cats jump out at him.

Shit. I'll need to get my "nothing but Lewton Buses" screenplay finished ASAP.

I get a few links from reddit now and then, but those are mostly from reading the paleontology subs and aren't exactly part of the usual meme-spreading landscape (memescape?). Generally I find the signal to noise ratio of reddit to be way too low to be a useful source of content. I obviously can't speak to how other people find their FPPable content.

I've never understood objections to "mansplaining". It's a gendered term because it's a gendered behavior.

Wow! I really, really like this! I wasn't expecting to, but it looks great. Great job!

My only criticism is that the link color on the blue in dark mode hurts my eyes for some reason. I actually prefer the professional white version.

On the other hand, MeTa looks great in dark mode.

You're complaining about a post's lack of comments in the post itself?
