I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

From way upthread:

ita: I can't recommend the wayback machine highly enough.

Heh, funny you should mention it. Yeah, the Internet Archive is pretty cool. Did you know it's based in San Francisco? In one of the prettiest parts of a very pretty city? And you know why I haven't been around and posting much for the past few weeks?

Because I just started working there, as of 29 April. Fear my Mighty Wayback Powers!

(I'm doing testing and automation for their web-crawler, for you techie types.)

Up with the sun

Karl, you rock. The wayback machine helped me to recover a file I thought was lost forever, from the web page I had in college.

I love the Wayback machine.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hooray, Karl!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Kat's link aside, cabal jokes have been around as long as the board has -- hell, they've been around as long as discussion boards, period. I really don't see them as referring to any one incident.

Megan, what's your tag from?

Oh, where's Nilly when you need her? Someone (meara?) asked me that the very first time I posted on the Phoenix and I explained the whole thing. Basically, it's a joke memo someone wrote to me at work ages ago, one part of which was a whole riff on my (admittedly) difficult-to-spell names.

I've never bothered to change the tag since I figured it reminded the NYistas that megan walker was a pseud whenever I de-lurked. Although I'm sort of hoping that after this many years they don't need it anymore...

ETA that I'm responding to Topic!Cindy and not Jess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We Know Who You Are.

We Know Who You Are.

And you know where I live. Wait... is that a good thing?

muahahaha

What is even happening?

one part of which was a whole riff on my (admittedly) difficult-to-spell names.

Oh see, this is another one of the pseuds I always thought was a real name.
