Hey, remember when we fucking read these already?

X,
Yeah, but without this post we can't have the meta-conversation about having read them. It's that whole hipster post ironic thing again. Meta is always cooler than just having the conversation. You need to have the conversation about the conversation to be really in the loop.

Or something. Generally, a top 5 list smacks of desperation and lack of meaningful content to post.

Some people are just looking for something (anything!) to bitch about. Seriously, is it that much of a problem for you that you are not only bothered by it, but feel the need to post a comment about it? Here's a tip: scroll wheel. Use it, dumbass.

You too T. Jesus you're a whiny lot. And yeah, I'm sure it's desperation because there is such a lack of new posts to comment on, huh? Idiot.

There's a lot of vitriol in this thread. I like it.

So that's what it looks like when a profoundly retarded pot posts a comment about kettles. Eat a dick up, s.

I was on vacation last week and missed them. So I am thankful for the post. My God Ezra Klein is a dousch. Someone on the thread said he is one step above lonewhacko. I think that is unfair to lonewhacko.

[Technomist]

I didn't read them the first time either but I've still got plenty to bitch about regarding profoundly retarded pots posting meta comments about kettles.

Sorry to disappoint you but I prefer your sister.

[Xeones]

According to the LoneWacko RulesOfEngagement, stfu, you've just conceded my points while demonstrating your own childish and anti-intellectual nature.

I'm looking forward to the end of the year when Reason posts:

What does any of this have to do with Micahel Jackson?

That was in the Top 5 the week before last.
