I find myself firmly in the Pro-Matt camp.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
People who have posted 1000 posts in what, 3 years? should not be surprised that other people simply don't feel they know them all that well.
That said, I'm happy for Matt too. Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Aw, Matt.
So happy for Matt!
Posted by Ophelia (Member # 653) on :
I'm happy for both of you.
Actually, I've met Jamie, so I know that Matt is really lucky here. I just have to take Jamie's word for it that she is, too. Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Matt, your leprachaun Buddy Icon was scaring me. Thanks for changing it. By the way, I have nothing better to do than read peoples away messages and look at their buddy icons when at work.
Anyway, huge congrats to you, Matt!
Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :
Well, some of us are just too slow to have figured out that Matt=FlyingCow.
I'm happy for both of you! Posted by Procrastination (Member # 4821) on :
Hmm... chopped liver, or ground beef?
(using my alternate nick until I figure out what I'ma do for my Landmark...)
Rivka: It's all about quality over quantity... you just don't post in the right threads.
But this all stems from my comment to Jamie that no one would notice if I stopped posting for three months...
...and quite frankly, they wouldn't, and I wouldn't expect them to. In fact, I'd be a bit shocked if they did.
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
My first thought after I read
quote: Flying Cow feels like Chopped Liver
Was "Mack didn't trade in her thumping stick for a knife did she?"
AJ And the pictures of both of you are sickeningly cute!
Posted by Zevlag (Member # 1405) on :
I know Mattt is most definitely lucky. I sure hope the same for Jamie! Posted by Procrastination (Member # 4821) on :
Oh, and, um, yeah, almost forgot.

I guess we have the answer for your question in that other thread, at least.
Now hurry up and get that dragon off me.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Sigh. I have a number of issues here.
I thought Flying Cow was a girl.
I did not know Flying Cow was dating Mack.
I am not really sure that Flying Cow is dating Mack.
I cannot keep up with all the stuff going on.

You mean the Angel/Buffy threads? Or the sports threads? If those are the "right" threads, I'll pick the "left" ones. Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
quote:You mean the Angel/Buffy threads?
That is where all the cool people hang out!
Jeez, Matt. Congrats. Now for the important stuff... Can you get mack convinced that watching Angel/Buffy reruns together really is "quality time"? Posted by Procrastination (Member # 4821) on :
Rivka: Actually, I've been posting remarkably little lately. I'm normally in the education threads and piracy threads, also in the gun control threads and, from time to time, in political threads, mainly dealing with the party system.
I tend to avoid the hatrack hot topics that get 400 posts in two days. I don't check often enough, and, after three years, the same arguments have grown tiresome. But yeah, lately, it's been Jamie and Angel. Well, mostly Jamie (that sports psych thread was hers, after all).
Elizabeth: I am FlyingCow using a pseudonym. Yes, I am a guy. (ask mack, Olivet, Slash, Keats, porce, sarahdipity, jexx or the Cards (er, minus Geoff) for proof on that score... ... and, um, I guess there are pictures now, too). I am also dating Jamie/mackillian, such as it is, us being five hours apart and all.
I am also very happy about all that... you know, being a guy, first of all, and dating Jamie besides. The latter is a more recent development, and I find myself musing on that happiness more often, it seems.

Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
Matt (aka FlyingCow) was at Boot Camp a few years ago, with Slash, Jenny G and Caleb. I met him there, too. Plus he lived around here for a while and had Thanksgiving with me and my in-laws.
So I know both Matt and Jamie in RL, and they are both very lucky.
Matt, I have noticed in the past when you weren't around, if I was around (which... you know... life and all).
I feel a warm glow inside when I think of you two hitting it off so well. *warm glow* Attempts have been made to give to give me 'credit' for getting them talking, but I didn't really do anything deliberate.
But let's not put too much pressure on them, you guys. We don't wanna 'Bennifer" them to death. Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
I'd just like to point out that I included Matt in my Awww post.

Yeah, I vaguely recall that when I was new you posted a lot more. Sorry, I have a short memory, I guess. Posted by Suneun (Member # 3247) on :

Now, go DM our game!
No, really. She's been running down this street for almost two Real-Time weeks. The halfling's getting pretty tired!

"being a guy, first of all, and dating Jamie besides. The latter is a more recent development,"
I am glad that it is the latter that is a recent development.
When I first came onto Hatrack, I posted to Jamie as if she was a guy, and I always thought Flying Cow was a girl. I just don't know what it all means, subliminally, you know?
Edited because i wrote "Former" instead of "latter," further confusing the whole subliminal thing.

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Well, Matt didn't e-mail me either to let me know about this, so he should feel like chopped liver.
And while the other theories about why some seem happier for mack than FC are nice and all, the actual reason should make him feel pretty good. No one was worried about him finding someone worthy of him. We figured he'd do okay. You are the flake we were concerned about. Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :
Kayla!!!! (good to see you post!)
Matt just needs to finish his work so that he can hit me back.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Kayla: Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
You know, men suck. Of course Flying Cow would easily be able to find a good woman, you on the other hand, what with men sucking and all, have a much smaller chance of finding a decent one.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

Hooray! Kayla posted again!
Oh, and that's great news, mac and FC! Best wishes to you both! Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

Well this thread has taken a decidedly R-rated turn!
And we have Kayla to thank for it!
And FlyingCow, I'm behind you 100%. Of course, being behind a flying cow is only slightly better than being below one.

Um...forget I said that.

Depends on how you ride them.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

I bet Matt and his chopped liver are becoming sorry they mentioned anything.

Mack, you were in a dream I had last night. I remember that it was a fairly ordinary dream (about everyday stuff, nothing terribly strange or trippy) When I woke up, one of my earliest thoughts was, wow, I have to tell Hatrack! But the details of the dream evaporated in my brain, and now all I remember is that it was ordinary and you were in it.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
sorry flying cow, you weren't present in the dream
not even as chopped liver.
AJ
Posted by Procrastination (Member # 4821) on :
Well, of course not. Had I been in the dream, it would have ceased being ordinary.
And, um, Noemon? Not married... no, no, no. 25 and without any current inklings of walking that aisle.

Cow, while "birds and bees" is an interesting answer, it wasn't really the question. I was wondering how a thread about your ego managed to turn into the raunch-fest of the year. Certainly, I had nothing to do with the derailment, though your ego's probably enjoying it all. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Ego? Is THAT what he's calling it?

At work, Matts on my buddy list. Never talk to him. I should though...
He had a leprachaun as his buddy icon, and I have issues with those green little kneebiters. So, his buddy icon kept me entertained.
