In case you're unaware of it, "Go home, X, you're drunk" is something of an internet meme; paper-machine wasn't making a serious accusation.

(One instance of this trope that's attached to stuff that might amuse a fair fraction of LW readers: Go home, evolution, you are drunk. (Actual title "WTF, Evolution?" but the GHYAD meme is in the "About" section at the right.)
