Queue? What is this, England?
This is awesome, I’m Partyin’ !!!!!
That’s very sad.
“Queue? What is this, England?”
Better get used to it, Bucko. Once Congress makes English the official language of America, there’ll be none of this “line up”, “elevator”, “cookie”, “overpass”, “first floor”, “suspenders”, “windshield”, and “vacation” rubbish. We’ll all have to learn to speak proper English.
these people are an embarrassment hahaha

my thoughts exactly, there is usually about 2 topical comments, then the rest is bitching at the spelling in the 1st 2 posts lmao, that and tom cruise knowing the history of off topic posts
It’s obvious, the threat from the MDN Webmaster is really about the fact that he doesn’t like Peter getting in hilarious digs at the xenophobic right-wing government in Washington.
I enjoyed the fact that the C|NET video of the Fifth Avenue Apple Store opening was sponsored by Microsoft. Thanks, Uncle Bill!
Come on MDN! The occasional off-topic post is what makes this site so good – comical and informative at the same time, with a little touch of stream of consciousness. However, I agree that posts with profanity or racist/rude comments SHOULD be deleted.
Thanks for your support.
“Reminder: Off-topic comments will be deleted.”
Laugh my arse off! It’s like a cage wrestling match in here most days. Anything goes…….whatsa matter MDN, somebody diddle your wife/boyfriend/Significant other last night?
MW: You haven’t deleted a post this ‘Century’. Uh oh, just jinxed myself.
I’m with you Cubert, my cubic brotha! (oops, OT blasphemy)
Stop deleting my client’s posts.
Heroin you liberal, commie, terrorist! Get a life loser.
MDN threatening to delete posts off topic?
Where’s MacDude now that the rules have changed…
Well, I can verify MDN has been deleting my scathing, brilliant and witty posts. Good job, censors!
The ordinary Apple Store employee (female, red-headed) shown briefly during Gary Allen’s interview could basically be a model. And she’s trouble-shooting iPods.
Everything really is better in New York City.
