Honestly

[kingfox]

I know that both sloppy joes are real. I know that the manwich-y thing is the popular sloppy joe dating back to the depression. Hell, blackbytes knows of the Essex County deli where they first started making the sloppy joe that dougthenut believes in, which originally contained tongue. I know full well that the ground beef and red sauce sloppy joe is more recognized as the true, but read this, towards the bottom. There's evidence for either one being the original. Truth is, it never mattered to me.

I just wanted to do the following:

1. Fuck with people, in honor of ``Provoke the Listener'', which everyone should listen to.
   
2. See how far dougthenut was going to run with this insanity.
   
3. Claim something crazy in honor of g_knox's fake death.

So, thanks for the fun! You people rock. The fact that periol bought me cans of sloppy joe sauce this morning was great. People posting about it cracked me up. The reception when I arrived to work an hour and a half hour ago was priceless. Hell, I'm even sort of mocking myself, and my fanatical devotion to silly random things like Pokemon, central Jersey, and Happatai. So thanks for the good natured ribbing, and playing along, good times.

UPDATE: Did you really expect anything else from the man who worships Skaggs, the /. troll community, real life trolls, baiting, Zug (back when they were good), and classic Usenet trolls?

You called me on that irony.

After it started to net more comments than recent engagement posts, I did admittedly wonder "Hey, is kingfox doing this for the comments?" I was actually hoping it'd make it to 100 :) It probably could easily have done so. Bravo.. that was fun *grin*

[kingfox.livejournal.com]

It could have hit 100. Hell, if I replied to every post blackbytes made, it would have passed 100. Still nowhere near the likes of threads that amplitude can muster on a good day, but still out of the norm for me. Flame wars mean longer threads.

And yet you want to kill me for one little prank....

Kind of ironic isn't it?

You're comparing fruits, fruit.

[kingfox.livejournal.com]

eval for x in ({apples, oranges}) if ($ou:isa(x, $fruit)) me:tell($su:nn(x), " is a fruit."); endif endfor
eval apples == oranges;

Oh, because in my prank I humbly and insincerely asked for friends of mine to comfort me and advise me during the ``most embaressing situation I've ever been in'', and begged them to ``tell me what to do about this'' at length, going on about the pain I was in? Nope.

Yes... but to balance that out... you hadn't been annoyed by your friends for months beforehand about how they were going to kill you if you did something to their sloppy joes.
