A dangerously sappy populist paean to the great blue pylon where we like to have our pile-ons. Here's to eight more, you crazy website.

You sappy, sappy bastard.

PS: A dangerously sappy populist peon ... This might be intentional, but if it's not, you mean "paean."

Neat. Doing a little heart emoticon breaks tag rendering!
Happy birthday, MeFi!

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
Frickin' Warcraft.

KUDOS! CHEERS! I was a lurker for a really long time and the day when I was finally able to sign on, all of my friends made fun of me brutally. So I punched each one in the face and now they are all lurkers, too sissy to sign up, but lurk so that they can keep up with conversation. Sissies.
Great song cortex. You are a great asset to the blue, green, etc.

::holds up lighter, accidentally sets curtain on fire, fire engulfs home (including computer this song was playing on), the now homeless flapjax at midnite curses this song forever::

Flute. In fact, I'm completely goddam remiss: much credit to Secretariat for the flute lines—I can't play that thing to save my life. Thanks, honey!

My
Look how you've grown
You've gotten so big
You've gotten so old
I still remember
When you were brand new
With posts by mathowie
And nothing but blue
And now look at you!
Happy birthday
Metafilter
Happy birthday
Grey green and blue
Another cat-scan
For Metafilter
Yeah you're eight years to the day
In web years that's pushing middle-age
But you're still my favorite page
So happy birthday
Metafilter
Happy birthday to you
Yeah you've kept me entertained
You've answered my questions
You've let me complain
You've played me your music
You got me a job
You've checked out my website
I got my own blog
Yeah I spayed my own dog
It's a brand new day
Put the pitchforks away
We've got games on free-play
