This is really very fun. The average time between posting and being metaquoted seems to be decreasing.
Current estimates suggest that sometime next month, I may have to start reading
metaquotes to see what I'm about to post. The biggest supershiny benefit to this is that it'll save me from ever making typos or silly HTML mistakes ever again.
Should we request a new LJ tag? Maybe <lj-paradox>? It'd be versatile - type="temporal", type="logical", type="falsidical"*, or even more specific things - paradox="diamond-water"†, for example.
* If someone has a usable definition for 'falsidical', it's going to be my word of the day for the next 23 hours. *glances hopefully at
lietya*
† An economic paradox. Water is cheaper than diamonds, but we don't need diamonds to survive.

Not that this is a bad trait.

Possibly someone's going Nazi-hunting and needed a decoy?

Date: 2005-10-21 06:53 am (UTC)As an aside, I like your Marvin
SnapeReynolds icon much better now that I actually get it (well, to the extent that it can be 'gotten', to wit, that I've now seen Firefly and know to whom you are referring, although the concept of Marvin as Mal makes my brain melt a little and then go splodey, so maybe I don't 100% 'get' it... but you know what I mean).no subject

Date: 2005-10-21 06:57 am (UTC)I'm definitely leaning towards Marvin Eppes for november. Maybe for having a brain the size of a planet.
