Metafilter is the guy that shows up with the split-personality disorder.

There would've been sever Metafilter people at the party. One with nothing but links to youtube, one asking unsolvable personal lie-filled questions, one drama queen, and another four that nobody fucking cares about.

I liked it. I give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
And Metafilter is the guy who couldn't go to the party because he had to go to a poetry reading with this girl he totally wants to feel up, but later watches the tape and tries to explain at GREAT length how the party sucked and anyone who could enjoy a party is too ignorant to even know what a proper bacchanal is.

They missed the part where Facebook is constantly whispering the girl's secrets to everyone else at the party. And the part that was funny, though I did like seeing ebaum's world get punched and Wikipedia as an airhead.

There was a guy who was struggling to decide what to wear to go to a fancy costume party... Then he had a bright idea.
When the host answered the door, he found the guy standing there with no shirt and no socks on.
"What the hell are you supposed to be?" asked the host.
"A premature ejaculation," said the man. "I just came in my pants!"
