Meta Question

Bluefreedom's avatar

I have a question about a Fluther question and hopefully it won't get removed. My question is legitimate although a little strange maybe.

Asked by Bluefreedom (22947points) February 11th, 2009

There is currently a question floating out there entitled “Is Fluther a front for the CIA?”

Every single answer in that question has been removed by moderators (except for moderators responses) and my latest answer of about 8 minutes ago has already been removed.

Does anyone know if this is just a running joke about the question itself or are all of the answers removed because at least half of them or more are off topic about the original question?

Just curious. It’s not a really big deal.

CIA cover up. It’s the man, and he’s keeping you down. Fight the power!

eponymoushipster's avatar

it’s all a plot. watch out for pancakes and amorous chickens.

jlm11f's avatar

Moderator responses are removed too, check again :)

As for why this is happening, we have no idea, but it might have something to do with the rest of the comment removed because I am too young to die

Shhhhhhh, If you talk about it out loud, they’ll put you in the frizzer…

jbfletcherfan's avatar

Oh, Blue, now you’ve done it! You let the cat out of the bag. Watch your back & stay out of dark alleys. ;-)

Bluefreedom's avatar

This all sounds very suspicious to me! I don’t know what to think anymore! If I give all of you lurve, do you promise not to stalk me and look in my bedroom windows?

bythebay's avatar

@Bluefreedom: Sorry, I never make a promise I can’t keep! ;)

Bluefreedom's avatar

I just knew I shouldn’t have been walking around the house naked while plucking chickens and eating pancakes.

emmaroid's avatar

It’s very difficult to trust anyone nowadays.

omfgTALIjustIMDu's avatar

I hope asmonet enjoyed her trip to the zoo.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@Bluefreedom you weren’t plucking that chicken.

90s_kid's avatar

Wow, even Ben and Andrew got the boot. I didn’t think that was possible. Seems the mods have taken over, I guess.
Lucky Eambos, though.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@eponymoushipster. Nope, I was choking that one. Um, the other one. You know what I mean! :o)

emmaroid's avatar

@omfgTALIjustIMDu,they probably kept her in.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@Bluefreedom LMFAO.

@omfgTALIjustMDu she and the panda ran off together.

richardhenry's avatar

It’s definitely not a joke. It’s really really serious. Seriously.

shilolo's avatar

@richardhenry Go back to being an MTV star and leave the comedy to the rest of us….!

Bluefreedom's avatar

^^^^ A moderator come uppance contest, awesome! No, wait! Moderator versus Manager! That’s even better. :o)

Foolaholic's avatar

Wait, that was a gag? Oh crap, I think I’m in trouble…

shilolo's avatar

The CIA loves to recruit from the Ivy Leagues, like Brown University, alma mater to non other than the founders of Fluther, Andrew and Ben. Coincidence? I think not.

90s_kid's avatar

What does that?

Bluefreedom's avatar

That was a drive-by post removal in record time. Holy crap!

90s_kid's avatar

Removed by Fluther moderators.

Kidding. I did that myself :)

Foolaholic's avatar

@Bluefreedom

They must be watching you closely. I know I am.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Foolaholic. Oh man, it’s worse than I thought…..

Blondesjon's avatar

Pay no attention to the giant, staring, big brother, dollar bill pyramid decorating, ever encompassing, all seeing eye.

I mean, uh, there’s a question about the CIA?

SuperMouse's avatar

That is frightening, mighty frightening.

CIA's avatar

We’ve compiled everyone’s information. Poland is nice this time of year. Goodbye.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@CIA. Great answer. Lurve.

Read this message quick. It’s about to be removed by…..

You have just been erased.

Fluther member removed by CIA

Bluefreedom's avatar

Wait just a darn minute. It’s not only posts going bye bye, now it is entire members. The CIA is henious I tell you! Heinous!

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Bluefreedom what the hell…...are you giving away top secrets or something???

Bluefreedom's avatar

@jbfletcherfan. I must be. Look at how many posts of mine that have been removed. I’m a marked man!

galileogirl's avatar

I don’t think you guys are funny AT ALL! The CIA has powers beyond any normal or legal limits. The spy on all internet traffic from the ATT building in SF. They know everything we say. The-wait a minute,someone’s at the door————————================================================================================================================================================================================================================(timed out)

Allie's avatar

@Bluefreedom I told you I was going to send Giant Jelly after you.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Allie. And you did very well, young Padawan. The force is strong with you.

Any chance you can call him off? lol

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Bluefreedom I know, that’s what I mean. Before the night’s over, they’re going to be taking you in a dark room with just a single light bulb hanging over your head. They’ll do the water torture. Be strong, eagle man. Don’t let them do mind games on you & break you down!!!

Bluefreedom's avatar

@jbfletcherfan. I need bodyguard services in exchange for lurve. Any ideas?

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Bluefreedom He chickened out a looong time ago, I’m afraid. I fear you may be on your own. Do you not have a Star Trek transporter there with you? If you do, you’d better use it fast!

CIA's avatar

@Bluefreedom It is too late for niceties…

Bluefreedom's avatar

Oh man. You’re back. It’s over. :o)

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Bluefreedom Noooo, it’s not over. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet.

jonsblond's avatar

Alright you fuckin’ jellies. What the fuck did you do with my husband!

eponymoushipster's avatar

Co-winky-dink or something more sinister: Good Eats tonight was about…..pancakes.

cak's avatar

Blue, if you had a cashew or pancake, you wouldn’t have this problem!

cak's avatar

@eponymoushipster—oh no…not Alton Brown!

eponymoushipster's avatar

@cak yep they got him. don’t drink welch’s grape juice either!

Snoopy's avatar

Wait. What?!

Why would the Culinary Institute of America be involved in Fluther moderation?!?!?!?

Are messages being passed in cheesecakes or something….?!

cak's avatar

@Snoopy I love the sport choice – looking good, snoops!

Let me just clear this up. If cheesecake was passing in front of me, message or not message, it would not, I repeat, NOT make it past me! :-)

SuperMouse's avatar

Listen up fellow jellies, if they get a hold of you Don’t Talk. If you are being waterboarded just remember, it is simulated drowning, you are not really going to die. Hang tough and don’t say a word. Electrodes on your nuts? It will stop as soon as they flip the switch. Hang tough and don’t say a word. If we all just keep our cool the CIA will move on to Askville.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@SuperMouse but i’m very very fond of my nuts.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

What if they hook up those electrodes to a mammogram machine!!!??? Us gals would be toast! Literally! You guard your nuts, eponymoushipster. You’re on your own! We’ll have to guard our boobs!

This is all Blue’s fault! Where IS that man??!! He’s probably skipped out on us & left us holding the proverbial bags.

90s_kid's avatar

Removed by the friggin moderators again u gotz a problems with itz?!?!?!

eponymoushipster's avatar

Nuts taken to be shocked and awed by moderator. Nothing to see here

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@eponymoushipster LOL…what can I say? You lead a charmed life.

aprilsimnel's avatar

I’d LIKE to see the CIA come and try some of that power-hungry, ham-fisted sh

eponymoushipster's avatar

I’m like a magic elf, filled with happiness, riding a unicorn on a rainbow. but with huge junk.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@eponymoushipster Hahahaaaaaa, it must come from all that heavy lifting you do all day there. ;-)

Bluefreedom's avatar

I see a bunch of new posts here about nuts. Mine are still intact but I wouldn’t put it past a moderator to separate me from my jewels. That would be bad.

jca's avatar

they can watch me carefully while i eat my pancakes.

eponymoushipster's avatar

yeap pretty much. and a system of hanging weights.

Bluefreedom's avatar

I’m starting to feel like Rodney Dangerfield here. I get no respect!

And neither do my answers. :o)

Foolaholic's avatar

@Bluefreedom

Well, you did kinda bring the hammer down on yourself. They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so enjoy it.

Bluefreedom's avatar

Yeah, I’m wearing a target all right! Woe is me.

Allie's avatar

@Bluefreedom Maybe if I ask nicely Giant Jelly will give you a second chance. You interested?

cak's avatar

Blue, this may be your only chance!

Allie's avatar

I can’t guarantee anything. No promises. Giant Jelly does what Giant Jelly wants to do.

Foolaholic's avatar

I hear that you can sometimes you can sometimes bribe Giant Jelly with riddles and interesting discussion topics.

bythebay's avatar

@Bluefreedom: I don’t know Blue, can you handle it? I heard the Giant Jelly can only be bribed with pancakes.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Allie. Give me a second chance! I’ll be good, I swear! Consult the Giant Jelly and see what it has in store for me. Please.

Foolaholic's avatar

@bythebay

Does he prefer plain, or blueberry?

Bluefreedom's avatar

I can get pancakes. I will MAKE pancakes. I will hand feed people pancakes here.

SuperMouse's avatar

@Bluefreedom, pay no attention to the jelly behind the curtain…

Allie's avatar

I’ve consulted Giant Jelly. It is in his or her hands now.

bythebay's avatar

and the crowd is hushed as they await the fate of their former comrade, Bluefreedom. Whose very existence hangs in the balance…

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Allie. Thank you, ma’am. I’m off to dinner with the wife. Maybe there will be good news when I return. If this message has been removed, I’m calling my shrink.

bythebay's avatar

@Bluefreedom you think that’s your wife…have you looked at the soles of her feet?

eponymoushipster's avatar

my nuts hurt from all the zapping. <goes to look for vaseline>

fireside's avatar

tick tick tick
he’s still there, unmuffled and free
tick tick tick

Blondesjon's avatar

@Bluefreedom…The shrink that has no eye…

wundayatta's avatar

<—Eliminated for inappropriate elimination

Bluefreedom's avatar

My most recent post before this one was removed (again). Apparently the Giant Jelly has decided against me. My juju is bad. I’m going to get psychoanalyzed tomorrow.

cak's avatar

Blue, I’m sorry buddy. It appears that you may be doomed. Offer a cashew – or a chicken! We know how much you love those chickens! ;~)

Bluefreedom's avatar

@cak. Tis’ true. My high hopes have been dashed and now I must offer a chicken in supplication.

cak's avatar

@blue – is there a chant that goes along with that? Perhaps if you wear a loin cloth, as well. I don’t know, it’s late – it’s been a long day. That’s all I got!

Bluefreedom's avatar

@cak. I’m open to suggestions at this point. For now, I’m going to don my leopard skin speedos and recite Shakespeare and see what happens.

cak's avatar

@blue – OMG…I just snorted! Ok, well, we’ll search for something tomorrow. I’m afraid my brain is officially turning to mush! Bedtime for me!

Night, my friend – and I’ll pray for better luck, tomorrow!

Bluefreedom's avatar

@cak. Thanks cutie. Sweet dreams and I’ll talk to you tomorrow. ;o)

Foolaholic's avatar

@Bluefreedom

I bet the pancakes are sounding good right about now.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Foolaholic. That sounds very good. There is always a time and place for pancakes. :o)

Foolaholic's avatar

@Bluefreedom

At this time (at least where I am) I recommend Denny’s.

Allie's avatar

Spell IHOP and add “ness” to the end. (Don’t spell “ness” just say it.)

Foolaholic's avatar

@Bluefreedom

Actually, I don’t think there’s an IHOP nearby me (I’ll have to double check). But the grand slams at Denny’s always hit the spot when we’re bored and hungry around 4am.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Allie. IHOP…<<<<vocalizing what you told me to>>>>......

I’m probably missing something important here right? :o)

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Foolaholic. I like Denny’s too. Nice choice on your part. IHOP’s are pretty darn good and it’s kind of a bummer you don’t have one nearby.

Allie's avatar

@Bluefreedom.. Did you say it?! =] You have to say each letter individually then say “ness” at the end.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@Allie oh, that’s just n a s t y

Foolaholic's avatar

@Allie

I see what you did there…

Allie's avatar

=D
The first time my friend made me say it it took me forever to hear what I was saying. I kept repeating it over and over and she just laughed and laughed. Then, it hit me…. and we both cracked up.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Allie. Oh, God. LMFAO. Nice.

Foolaholic's avatar

who else is a fan of lqtm?

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Foolaholic. I just heard of that acronym here on Fluther a couple of days ago. I actually think it’s pretty good.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@Foolaholic works for me. i lqtm/ltmq all the time on here.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

Come on guys…I just got up. Don’t make my brain work this early in the morning.

90s_kid's avatar

Do moderators have a link that says “remove” or something? or…How does it work?

Bluefreedom's avatar

@90s_kid. I have no idea but they used it on me about 23 times yesterday and it is very effective.

90s_kid's avatar

hehe, I know :D

fireside's avatar

lol, now they are unremoved by the moderators

Blue, you’ve been liberated!

Bluefreedom's avatar

@fireside. I just noticed that. I tried to go back and count all my removals and now most are back. I’m losing my mind. :o)

Jack79's avatar

Fluther really is a front for the CIA, which is why all the questions are removed.

btw I am the front for some Australian guy called Jack. He told me not to tell you though.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Jack79. Too late! We know!

eponymoushipster's avatar

@90s_kid Central Intelligence Agency or Culinary Institute of America.

both have connections to pancakes and chickens.

Blondesjon's avatar

@eponymoushipster…They also wear cool outfits.

what? I’d fuck ‘em.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@Blondesjon i think you’ve got stockholm syndrome.

Blondesjon's avatar

PATTY HEARST WAS A GREAT AMERICAN THAT STOPPED THE GRAYS FROM CROSS BREEDING THE LINDBURGH BABY WITH BIGFOOT

stockholm syndrome indeed

eponymoushipster's avatar

@Blondesjon SNAP OUT OF IT MAN!

this is what they want

fireside's avatar

Wait, so what’s going on here? jon’s going to get down with some pastry chefs?

eponymoushipster's avatar

@fireside neh, NEH! chickens. government chickens.

fireside's avatar

@eponymoushipster – I could have sworn it was culinary chicken

aprilsimnel's avatar

Chicken? Chicken and waffles? Chicken and… pancakes? OMG! Syrupboarding!

eponymoushipster's avatar

@fireside…MORK MORK MORK! chicky in da basky.

@aprilsimnel yeah, instead of drowning, you think you’re gonna get diabetes.

Bluefreedom's avatar

All this talk of chicken and pancakes is making me hungry. Someone cook me a steak! :o)

cak's avatar

@Bluefreedom – Steak = Chicken? Did the cow fly over the moon?

eponymoushipster's avatar

Chicken fried steak? mmmmmmm

cak's avatar

@eponymoushipster – now you are talking – some good old comfort food!

eponymoushipster's avatar

@cak this makes me want to go to Cracker Barrel, hang out with the blue haired ladies, get fat on biscuits and gravy. if only CB had beer…

Bluefreedom's avatar

Okay, okay. I’ll have one of each of whatever you all just said. :o)

Cracker Barrel is a great restaurant, by the way. Good choice!

cak's avatar

oh yum…biscuits and gravy! I swear, you’d think I was pregnant, I’ve been craving those things, lately!

Bluefreedom's avatar

Just for you, cak—->>> Biscuits and Gravy

aprilsimnel's avatar

Dang it! The nearest Chik-Fil-A’s in Jersey! New Jersey, that is.

cak's avatar

@Bluefreedom – have I ever told you how much I lurve you?

cak's avatar

@aprilsimnel – that is sad, my friend! not the time to mention I have two, within 5 miles of me, right?

eponymoushipster's avatar

@aprilsimnel yeah, i can almost see one from my apartment. i’m trying to think what’s comparable…

true story: i went into one about two weeks ago, in a tux, en route to a wedding i was in, and the guy goes “you look like you could be in a wedding.” bright guy

cak's avatar

@eponymoushipster – bwahahahahahahahaa!

eponymoushipster's avatar

@cak i should have said “yeah, i’m the groom. gimme some free waffle potatoes!” i wasn’t the groom, btw

next stop MIT.

aprilsimnel's avatar

@eponymoushipster – Did you ask him if he’s thought about the Army?

eponymoushipster's avatar

@aprilsimnel high five for a ben folds five reference. i did want a grandma’s apple pie

Coloma's avatar

Hmmmm…I think the experiment is a success!
The CIA has managed to confound and confuse everyone sending them off into space and implanting subliminal messages of pancakes & Bisquits & gravy.

Yep…..I’d say internet mental manipulation has certainly proven to be an effective means of brainwashing the thundering herd! lolololol

Be careful!

I hear that they are planning to control most of the 20 something to 30 something crowd with psychedelic Tater Tots. Beware!

Hey..works out well for me, they will never know I am rejecting the census! lololol

28lorelei's avatar

I wish the CIA could give me a certain food?

wilma's avatar

Pancakes?
