Meta, meta, meta.

I planned it all this way.

Meta, meta, meta.

For the pending screen to say!

03/4/2004 Will Disney: yeah but then jimson's booted short got in the way - dude it's THURSDAY!
03/4/2004 Jon Matza: An instructive lesson on the dangers of an over-reliance on computers. Jervis was betrayed here by the site itself, whose inability to adjust to the order reshuffling robbed the short of the very meta- qualities it purports to have and celebrates in itself. This debacle was chillingly foretold in Styx' Mr. Roboto: "The problem's plain to see/Too much technology/Machines to save our lives/Machines dehumanize."
03/5/2004 Mr. Pony: Could someone please explain the end of that song to me? The "I'm Kilroy... Kilroy... Kilroy... Kilroy." part. I must have listened to that song about a million times and I'm still lost.
03/5/2004 Jon Matza: Set your mind at ease, Pony.
03/5/2004 Mr. Pony (3): Oh, MAN. Thanks, Matza. That was the only tape I had for my first six months of music-listening (which I guess explains quite a bit), but I never dreamed that there was a concrete story behind it. I though it was all these random thought and images just barely coalescing into a mysterious and rich mythology, but now I find it was just an Alan Parsons album gone horribly wrong! I'm so ashamed. By the way, Jervis, I support your efforts. Be more vigilant next time.
03/5/2004 Mr. Pony: Hrm. That was supposed to be a four.
10/2/2005 Streifenbeuteldachs (4): Here you go, Pony.
