ILX Hall Of Fame

I thought initially that this was gonna be some Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame type thing where we could send mark s now he's old n decrepit.

I don't think I ever noticed how great that title is.

| 1369150 | I have a big ass | 213 |

Not Hall of Fame:

| 3188992 | This is the thread where you name a random ILXer... | 256 |

The numer thing doesn't work.

I think it is time to set up an ILx Hall of Fame. Posters like Ed quite correctly note that ILX is more than it is now, it's the sum of its all-time contributions, and as a result within a week I will start the first thread that will induct members to the ILX Hall of Fame. Stay tuned!

Please don't bother.

How about an ILX Prudential Insurance Building?

ILX bebo page

ILX Jimmy Page

IL X men

IL X & M

ILX Factor 2007, painful showoffs, blah blah blah

ILX health insurance

ILX Box

"ILX releases the new high current and high voltage LDX-36000 series with current ranges from 10 amps to 220 amps and compliance voltage up to 70V."

ILX MLM

I think this could be ILX's finest moment

not as good as it was yesterday.

to be able to traverse time

These past couple of months have born witness to some of my greatest posts.

Maybe you'll be nominated? Who knows.

if only for U R ALL GAY

Popularity contests are never not trouble.

More like poopularity contests, eh?

It's not a popularity contest, it's a Hall of Fame.

This...
is...
SILLINESS!

if louis revived this thread with the same idea dom would have responded "worst thread ever" 32 seconds later.

Someone change the name of this thread and see if he does!

I just want to pay tribute to the pioneers, most of my ilx heroes don't appear on no stamps.

great thread

Back in the 80s, baseball author and historian Bill
James was lobbied for support by the Committee to
Elect Ken Keltner to the Hall of Fame. The
documentation the organization put together in
support of Keltner was the usual superficial
analysis and lowest common denominator arguments
made in support of mediocre candidates. It caused
James to take some time to think about the various
things that can make up a Hall of Fame Candidacy.
What resulted is known as the Keltner List.

James' Keltner List is the following set of
questions:

1. Was he ever the best player in baseball?

2. Was he the best player on his team?

3. Was he the best player in baseball at his
position? Was he the best player in the league at
his position?

4. Did he have an impact on a number of pennant
races?

5. Was he good enough to continue to play past his
prime?

6. Is he the very best player in baseball history
who is not in the Hall of Fame?

7. Are most of the similar players in the Hall of
Fame?

8. Does the player's numbers meet the Hall of Fame
standards?

9. Is there any evidence to suggest the player was
significantly better or worse than his stats?

10. Is he the best player at his position that is
eligible for the Hall of Fame?

11. How many MVP type seasons did the player have?

12. How many all-star games did he play in?

13. If this were the best player on the team, could
you win a pennant?

14. What impact did the player have on history, new
rules, etc.?

15. Did he uphold the standards of sportsmanship and
character that we are instructed to consider?

^^^jpg of the year, hall of fame material

the dude actually reminds me of NV, in a way

xp

I mean, it's clear the small boat is tugging the ship (you can see the line, and its direction is clear from the wake), but on first glance that dude's expression added to the picture and the caption is absolute comedy genius.

no wait that isn't the line, that's a jet of water. it isn't tugging the ship, it's probably piloting it.

explaining why things are funny - dud or dud?

Thus, questions to consider:

1. Were they ever the best poster on ILX?

2. Were they ever the best poster on their particular board?

3. Were they ever the best poster amongst their particular balkan state (watercooler, noize bored, IRE crew, shut-in aspie LBZC rubes)

4. Did they have an impact in a number of clusterfuck threads?

5. Were they good enough as a poster past their ILX prime?

6. Are they the very best ILX poster not currently in the ILX HoF?

7. Are most of the similar posters to them in the ILX HoF?

8. Does the poster's postcount qualify for HoF membership?

9. Is there any evidence to suggest the poster was
significantly better or worse than his contributions to threads indicate?

10. Are they the best posters from their balkan state that is
eligible for the Hall of Fame?

11. How many classic threads were they integral to?

12. How many great zings did they come up with?

13. If this were the best poster on a thread, could
it be a classic?

14. What impact did the player have on ILx history, new ideas, movements, changes to how the board operates?

15. Did he uphold the standards of sportsmanship or did they post pictures of someone else in their underwear before conning a bunch of dudes into falling in love with them?

He ain't fat enough to be me.

yes louis it's completely plausible for that boat to tow the larger one.

^^^ Master Mariner

explaining why things are funny - dud or dud?

I wasn't explaining why it was funny, I was explaining what was actually going on in the picture. Jordan, if you're being sarcastic, you've evidently never heard of or seen a 'tugboat'. Or flown in an airplane. Never wondered how those tiny trucks can drag a whole plane? When the movement is horizontal, far less force than you might think is necessary to induce movement. Men have pulled trains.

CEASE AND DESIST

LJ'S PHYSICSLESSONS4U

Men have pulled trains.

Yeah, but I was really drunk and I snook out in the morning while she was still asleep.

sorry Louis, look at the speed they're both going. No boat tugs a liner that size at that speed, that 'tugboat' is a tiny speedboat for a start.

or 'coast guard' type boat.

OK Let's answer on behalf of Mark G, a fairly mediocre candidate I trust you'll agree.

1. Were they ever the best poster on ILX? For about five minutes, for one post that took five minutes to read, prob.

2. Were they ever the best poster on their particular board? ILM, and no.

3. Were they ever the best poster amongst their particular balkan state (watercooler, noize bored, IRE crew, shut-in aspie LBZC rubes) gordeblimey no

4. Did they have an impact in a number of clusterfuck threads? Only the one thread would I say "That one had an impact" but if you mean "on purpose", then no.

5. Were they good enough as a poster past their ILX prime?Here I am baby, come taste my mind!

6. Are they the very best ILX poster not currently in the ILX HoF?No, as no one is in it, right?

7. Are most of the similar posters to them in the ILX HoF?See above

8. Does the poster's postcount qualify for HoF membership?Now you're talking!

9. Is there any evidence to suggest the poster was
significantly better or worse than his contributions to threads indicate?Yes.

10. Are they the best posters from their balkan state that is
eligible for the Hall of Fame?You asked this already

11. How many classic threads were they integral to?Oh, one or two, one or two

12. How many great zings did they come up with?Zings are in the eye of those who are not the beholders. I killed "Nutty Nigel" if that counts.

13. If this were the best poster on a thread, could
it be a classic?You know it

14. What impact did the player have on ILx history, new ideas, movements, changes to how the board operates?Don't know. For others to decide

15. Did he uphold the standards of sportsmanship or did they post pictures of someone else in their underwear before conning a bunch of dudes into falling in love with them?1) I've stood up for some folk being picked on, sometimes correctly, sometimes not. 2)I am what I is.

16. Are you thurrrr SPACE BOSSS!!!???? No

well i did say it isn't tugging the ship, it's probably piloting it!

actually, revise

2) I don't have any pictures of someone else in my underwear.

Nope, these questions aren't how voters vote. I suggest the following instead:

1. Were they fit?

I think, at best, ILX has had maybe three smashable posters in its history.

Four if we count Kanye.

next: nominations list then ballots sent via a special email not posted to thread ... therefore NO sabotage

Dom Passantino posting Ken Keltner trivia. I've seen it all.

lol i only know about Keltner Lists because pro-wrestling historians repurposed them as "Gordy Lists".

^^^ 4-4-2, bruv

NEW GUIDELINES

1. Were they ever the best poster on ILX?

2. Were they ever the best poster on their particular ILx sub-board?

3. Were they ever the best poster amongst their particular ILX sub-group (watercooler, noize board, IRE crew, shut-in aspie LBZC rubes, etc)

4. Did they ever have a major impact in a number of classic or clusterfuck threads? Which ones?

5. How long was their ILx prime? Did they leave when it was over, or did they continue posting to diminishing returns?

6. Are they the very best ILX poster not currently in the ILX HoF?

7. Which other ILXors were they of a similar posting style to? Were they better than these people?

8. Was this a high quantity poster, or did they just make a few occasional posts here and there?

9. Is there any evidence to suggest the poster was
significantly better or worse than his contributions to threads indicate?

10. Are they the best posters from their balkan state that is
eligible for the Hall of Fame?

11. Did they start great threads, or did they just react to them?

12. How many great zings did they come up with?

13. If this were the best poster on a thread, could
it be a classic?

14. What impact did the player have on ILx history, new ideas, movements, changes to how the board operates?

15. Did he uphold the standards of sportsmanship or did they post pictures of someone else in their underwear before conning a bunch of dudes into falling in love with them?

Geir strikes me as a 100% lock for induction, tbh

http://www.regisrangers.com/images/HallofFameWall.jpeg

It does raise the question of whether guys like Wrinklepaws are eligible. I say no, because of the low postcount, but these are the issues we'll need to debate in HoF voting week.

Wrinklepaws hasn't rilly served his dues. What about T✧✧@K✧✧.e✧✧ tho?

lol shitty email disguise

I think... I think there will be 15 nominees for induction for the first ILX Hall of Fame. Threads for each candidate will be set up in I Don't Mind Everything or Aeon Flux. We'll debate each one for a week, then open up voting for a week. 60% gives you qualification. Under 25% and you fall off the ballot next year.

The only posters I could think of voting for are estela and Raggett. Everyone else is crap, whiny and/or English.

What about Dorian Lynskey?

Also, KBP, that Lex thread got deleted before you let the world know how you're taking the suicide of a C+B poster.

I posted how my thoughts before it got deleted.

Maybe that's why it got deleted.

i don't know how richard ayoade sleeps at night.

Would be funny if Josie Long and the Mighty Boosh turned up Fred Phelps style at his funeral.

Surely the Mighty Boosh are far more dead than this guy.

Some menk off C+B topped themselves? Beautiful.

Sadly it wasn't Alan Strang but still, you know, journey of a thousand miles and all that.

Wotcha, just a quick one to catch up on the sparse Morris news, and more importantly, to extoll the virtues of a new and actually funny British comedy show! Thursdays, BBC2, yes that's right, just before "The YouTube Mike Yarwood Show", and his perfectly passable new comedy is the new Jennifer Saunders sitcom. And it's bloody great. Course, I've only seen the first episode so far, and maybe it will go careering wildly off the rails from here on in, but I just HAD to prostelytize, as a) I haven't been as excited by a new British comedy for beards, and b) it's that damn Serafinowossname who's unfairly commandeering all the attention in Comedy Chat.

^^^a chilling cry for help we should have all heeded

Couldn't face living in a world without new Chris Morris suicide bomber movie.

Crushed under the weight of his own brilliance.

And by "brilliance" I mean "heavily annotated first draft Filthy, Rich, and Catflap scripts"

Season 2 of The IT Crowd takes another victim.

5 seconds til first appearance of Cap'n Save-a-Shit-Channel-4-Sitcom.

Can't help but think if Jagger had chosen C+B to start posting on rather than ILX that warm July 2006 evening, this crisis could have been averted.

"IT WAS DEAD FUNNY YOU TOSSERS ONE WEEK THEY SAID MICROSOFT IS SHIT LOL"

lol there was an atari 2600 joypad on the desk in one episode lolololol

Actually, if this cadaver returns from the grave to haunt Richard Ayoade, that's pretty much best case scenario for all involved

If they released a Hardwicke House DVD, this tragedy would have never happened, and it's all ITV's fault yet again.

"I FANCY THE GIRL SHE IS A REAL GIRL NOT JUST NOEL FIELDING IN A DRESS"

I nominate Noodle Vague, King Boy Pato, and a dead aspie for the ILX Hall of Fame

not belonging to any club that wd have me as a member c/d? blah blah

I think we need to adopt "4-2-4" or similar as a convenient shorthand to convey to Louis when he needs to stop explaining something

Ersatz centrocampista

something that denotes Too Much Fannydangle, anyway

Christmas Tree

I'd suggest Jgo's own custom formation were that ever likely to be suitable as a shorthand for anything

'Liberong Grande'

That actually works.

Although three sweepers and two guys in the hole would probably not function that great.

Jagger would probably want to replace the forward line with some sort of gigantic robot as well.

Insert Shevchenko joke here.

Like Frank Lampard, you mean?

That kind of over-elaborate tactical tinkering is all well and good for the likes of the Colorado Stunt Doubles and the New Jersey Prison Rape but it won't fly with the English national team, by god

Thursdays, BBC2, yes that's right, just before "The YouTube Mike Yarwood Show", and his perfectly passable new comedy is the new Jennifer Saunders sitcom. And it's bloody great.

Was this about Vivienne Vyle or Jam and Jerusalem? Either way, um, hmmm.

Vivienne Vyle. Methinks somebody had been glued to the bong.

That thread up there: Was that the only time Geir ever called out *anyone*?

I think he got a bit chippy when some dudes were all "lol nazi" a while back.

yeah, but he didn't actually start a thread to call them out, I mean.
