SLYTMND: Paul Harvey recommends that it's not too early for you to choose a Valentine's Day gift for someone you love.

I think someone predicted there would be a single link FPP to YTMD. I predict it won't survive.

Plutor: Linking to petitiononline.com is like linking to YTMND.

I will defend this post to the death, or until it's deleted, whichever comes first. Search, rescue, ventilate somebody's singed kitten!

This is good, and this.

Huh? Did Paul Harvey actually do this?

I just spent some time looking at the popular YTMND's.

THEY'RE CRAP. But I'd swear the website was funny, once.

Metafilter definitely needs more stunt posts like this one. Especially from people who think that, for personal reasons, they'll be able to get away with it. It really makes it a much better place.

Take it to MeTa, where I will be conspicuously absent. After two SLYT posts in a row before this, I thought this was more than acceptable. If it's deleted, I do not care. GOOD DAY?

This one is also good, but only with the sound on.

But this one is probably my favorite.

Damn straight.

I think this may be the first post that I have ever favorited and flagged.

Anybody else with Paul Harvey mashups should feel free to Memail me directly.

Enjoy deducing the line connecting this to this to the current post.

Wolfdog: Enjoy deducing the line connecting this to this to the current post.

In reverse order:
1) FPP: Paul Harvey's recommendation followed
2) YT: You begin to listen to Hungarian hip-hop
3) OMG I'm totally hungry!
