Reddit? You mean the site that after all these years finally decided to either edit or totally close down the forum they had that was full of child porn and sexually suggestive pictures of children? I know Drew is tight with that site but the stuff I heard about Reddit makes it sound bad.

I post on the internet in a lot of places. This makes me a person who posts on the internet in a lot of places.

MIAppologia		2012-10-09 09:09:51 PM

atlfarkette: Just so you know I'm expecting you guys to solve all of the world's problems at this gathering. No pressure.

My money's on Mike getting nekkid, blaming a redditor for it, then demanding free beer in recompense.

Oh lord, I've just given him an idea now.

JerseyTim		2012-10-09 09:09:51 PM

Will there also be a discussion on men's rights and how it is the most important issue of our day?

Spoon over Marin		2012-10-09 09:10:24 PM

OH all the people we'll meet!

too-old		2012-10-09 09:10:38 PM

Mike: What the hell is this rivalry crap anyway?

PICK A SIDE! THEY MUST SUFFER

Not to distract from the meta-fest, but local communities have no future unless they are based on politics, religion, or the having of crotchfruit. The enlightened folk, at least those without millions, will be stuck in crowded enclaves, with cockroaches and constant car break-ins.

Ok, that wasn't the comment I wanted to reply to:

I see that you've seen In Time, too. Will Salas has your back, baby.

If we keep pinning this to the top, will it take off eventually?

The sad thing is that it's his hair that freaks me out the most. The folds are second.

How in the heck did they think this was a good idea?

DrySocket		2012-10-09 09:23:54 PM

You know, Going from Kentucky to Colorado is not going "across the US". Its really more like traveling from one sweaty armpit to the other sweaty armpit and having to cross 2 hairy moobs in the process.

You should have seen the other pic where they traded places.

Have one in Chicago. I'm on both sites minus the underscore on reddit

Hmmm, dismissive smugness from Seattle. I did not expect that.

Only after a frank discussion about white rights and the legalized racism that is affirmative action. Without that impediment, I would be so successful, you guys. Also, maybe some jailbait and a celebration of domestic violence. It's in the 1st Amendment.

themeaningoflifeisnot		2012-10-09 09:27:18 PM

Mike: The fun thing about the Internet is it's not like radio where you pretty much stick to one channel. You can actually have multiple favorite websites :)

I'll have you know I have 2, count 'em 2, favorite channels. And don't even get me started on the AM dial!

I think this constitutes "droll."

You are altogether kinder than I.

Fark parties always get re-advertised right a week and then a day before.

Sticking with the radio analogy:
What we were promised: hi-def satellite feed full of content of unparalleled quality
What we got: shiatty stock AM radio with a ton of static

/if this is the information superhighway then that reddit bunch are in the breakdown lane with the left blinker on and steam coming out from under the hood

Here have a PBR. Would you like to see my fixie?

Actual Farking		2012-10-09 09:38:19 PM

Is the reddit ask me anything I'm a legitimate rapist guy going to there? That would be so money.

What I want to know is how to identify the Fark side of the room.

If it's anything like the poolside area they rented in Vegas, you'll have no trouble.

How will it help if I'm looking in a mirror?

Lower the mirror.

Are you in Michigan?

babysealclubber		2012-10-09 09:55:49 PM

I'll probably shave my taint for tomorrow.

Nope. I came home on Friday.

Well, that has to be good. Is everything going okay?

It's going to be that kind of party?

I'll go ahead and make a couple bowls of potato salad for everyone.

Ahh, yes, this will allow me to use my "if white male privilege exists, then why do I live in my parents' basement" argument.

Sorry, but while many Farkers claim to like George Carlin or Bill Hicks, I don't encounter many that actually agree with the things Carlin or Hicks said. Examples 1 2 3
