I like the illustrated thread. Not everyone has facebook or Flickr accounts and it would be cool to have pictures of stuff - weddings, projects, babies! where we could comment as a community.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If we do have illustrated threads, I would strongly lobby for only registered users being able to see the images.

In theory I like the idea of an image thread, but do we have any idea how that will affect site bandwidth/speed? B.org loading quickly even when the rest of the internet has slowed to a crawl has always been a big feature in my book.

Oh yes, I like this plan.
I wouldn't mind images, but I do love our clean uncluttered text look.
I'm assuming it's not like Goatse? Or any other link most people would regret clicking?
The link Calli posted is completely safe for work, but will probably make more sense if you've seen other Harlem Shake videos so you know what she's responding to. (Short version: it's a terrible song that's become a stupid dance video meme that appropriates a real dance from Actual Harlem and turns it into a thing ignorant white people do on YouTube.)

For comparison this is the real Harlem Shake [link]

(The only thing MHP says that I disagree with is the bit about seeing the real Harlem Shake on the subway. Ten years ago, yes, but the current crop of guys doing this are kind of unfortunate. I give them money but mostly because I hope they'll spend it on dance lessons.)

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Always learn a lot from MHP. Sometimes she is too nice, though. Even the comments were interesting(although I don't know why anytime a woman is being serious, some guy has to call her ugly. But then, I think she's cute.)

I do wish MHP would have gone a little more Shake 101 on this. She's great at explaining why it matters that what is all over the interwebs is not the actual Harlem Shake, and the history that undergirds it, and she has a lot of folks confirming "nope, that's not it", but for the ignorant, I'm still not really clear what's different. (Beyond the obvious fact that the people she has on are much i better than all the thrown together vids.)

Our wings are not tired.
I'm curious beyond curious as to what is up.
