2002.07.19 easy way out:
in order to get in at least one more post this week, i'm resorting to some good old-fashioned link throwing.
first of all, there's my co-worker's site: http://www.ae4rv.com
he's been creating flash-based games for a while now, and has several fun ones. his latest venture, and a very addictive game, is StarMonger… essentially a game of Risk in space. It's still a "beta" product, but well worth the visit, if you're into that sort of thing.
I pointed this one out to Nate yesterday, and he was loving it.
In turn, he passed on some links to me, most of which i noticed were from this directory. turns out, whoever this guy is, he's been hoarding humorous bits of internet arcana for quite a while now, and has quite an impressive collection. There's some horrendously funny stuff in there (i haven't gone through it all yet, though i was up for a couple extra hours last night busting a gut when i should have been sleeping) like this little gem. (warning, "this little gem" could be considered very tasteless & offensive)
y'know there's a reason i don't do a lot of linking to esoteric internet hole-in-the-walls. i pretty much figure that if i've heard of it, that it's been on MemePool or something similar like 2 months ago, and has been bouncing around internet mailing lists, message boards, and email forwarding chains for at least that long. in other words, i figure if i've seen it, you probably have too. if there's one thing that I and my fellow blogging compatriots are, it's link whores. so be it.
nevertheless, a post was needed, and a post has been made.
(oh, and i was supposed to post about the Dell Computer guy–from the commercials–getting fined by the Screen Actor's Guild for filming commercials during an actor's strike 2 years ago. unfortunately, the only link i could find to this bit of news was this one, which pretty much just sucks since it's only like 3 sentences. blah. "Dude, you're gettin' a fine." hehe, that's clever. grrrr. )

m@ said:
ah, i think you must have mistunderstood, Ms. Moose. I did not say the people i was linking are whores. i was saying rather that *I*, and those like me, are whores.
in the most demeaning sense of the word, of course.
cheerio!

p.s. the whore comment was mine, but my cookies aren't working today… maybe I should buy some fresh.

ahha! he's been found out!

Let's break this down for all the nongrammatically inclined in the audience:
Yeah (term of agreement, must follow from immediately prior statement of "thanks for the links", hence agreeing with party 1)
, whore (term of address, since agreement is with party 1, address must be to non-immediate party, i.e., original author of post–Matt)
What does it all mean?
Matt's a whore.

Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
(imagine the retarded character from Crank Yankers–or TouchTone Terrorists if you're more familiar with them)

by the way, good usage of an old man song title for the post, matt.
