ILX Milk Carton

It's been about a week, an eternity in ILX time. Hope there is nothing amiss with her nor anyone else who's been "missing."

her last few posts sounded kinda down and then nothing.

i'm worried about someone i've never met and have never even emailed. odd feeling.

andy

(This is the creepiest thing I've ever posted on ILX I think!)

And the original Miss Laura as well.

Chicago Kevin

I think he took a break and realized he was happy enough without ILX. You should email him, though.

you can call yourself chicago kevin, but i call you LOLBOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what happened to that public school english guy who jerked off a dyson or whatever?

he now posts as ilx user ned ragget

jokes that never get old

100% non sarcastic

heavens! *runs away with vacuum cleaner*

l0u1s jagg3r's Heavens!

Abbott?

was just wondering that myself

Whatever happened to Kerm or Chicago Kevin?

kerm just posted on 77 a few minutes ago

yea where is abbott? she hasn't been on AIM either, i don't think

Pretty sure I saw her logged into Gmail a few days ago.

(we may need an ilx stalker thread at this rate.)

chicago kevin is fine afaik, he posts updates on facebook all the time, think he just gave up ilx

lol, he ignored my Facebook friend request

surprising.

Yeah, not really, it's only funny b/c he's friends with practically every other Chicago ILXor.

I can't find my glasses.
Oh. They were on top of my head. Ha Ha.
Oops. Now I can't find my keys.
Oh. That's right. I gave them to Abbott.
She must be around here somewhere.
Except I can't find my glasses.

Anyone here seen Abbott?

She WAS on gmail earlier today. I think maybe she thinks we suck.

Uh guys the reason I haven't been around is really silly. The reason is I got addicted to knitting. You can't type while doing that. OTOH hundreds of rows of garter stitch on the Doctor Who scarf right now – I miss you guys.

<3

!

Abbott, dude, you gotta practice harder! I read 'n' knit simultaneously. I knitted this hat while reading Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3617/3360380519_c7edac993d_m.jpg

Hey, knitting is the new clubbing, after all (if Shimura Curves are to be believed)

(Also, that is an awesome hat. Do you want to make me one? Well, when I get a job, and I can pay you for it!)

Pay? No need. Very easy to make. If you like I can just knit you one. If you like this yarn, I think I can make one in a week or two. Let me me know (email me). :-)

I think it only costs me about 4 euro or even less to make it, so why bother asking money? I'm happy that people love wearing my knitted things. My friend, who's VERY critical, is so attached to the hat I made for her. And Ophelia was shouting compliments all the way to school while wearing this hat. hah

Aaahhh, you are so awesome. Sending email now!

do include size of head. is it "normal" sized or big like mine? i'll probably start tonight. :-)

How do I measure the size of my head? I have a tape measure somewhere.

I want a big, floppy hat, so big is probably better. :-D

Y'know, I'll just knit you one and if you don't like it, you can return it. Keep in mind that it looks floppy in that pic, but it just sits tightly on her head. It's a "basic hat". :-)
You like this yarn? Anyway if you don't like it, just, well, return or toss it away. :-)

I keep misreading this as "you like this yam?"

i guess gr8080 left purposely and for a reason, since he had a 'goodbye' thread and everything, but i don't know why that is and it's a shame, missing him on the boards.

ABBOTT :)

yeah what's up with gradester? i never take goodbye threads seriously

that whole knitting interaction was really happy, imo

Haha Stevie I can read/go to lecture/watch TV and knit – typing replies while knitting is the art I have yet to master. (Can you do the 'one color in each hand' Fairisle thing?)

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2404/2234301064_02f3511a9c.jpg

How to type with your nose

lolz

(Can you do the 'one color in each hand' Fairisle thing?)

I could - I learned it in class - but I don't give a shit about Fair Isle really. Nor Intarsia. I already have a hard time with cables 'n' shit. :-) I also quit my class. Fuck'em.

pretty sure grady and roxy broke up and now grady doesnt feel comfortable posting on ilx anymore

He'll be back on ILNFL before you know it.

Uh guys the reason I haven't been around is really silly. The reason is I got addicted to knitting.

Hee hee, I was about to post that I saw Abbott on a knitting website.

hi2zoe ^_^

xpost Ravelry ILX subforum! It's very quiet over there, most probably cause I put that one up. haha

what happened to dee the lurker?

i assumed dee was lurking

Sean Carruthers hasn't been around, has he? I just saw this and thought "hey, I know that name"

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8osvf_episode-158-the-411-on-windows-7_school

:-)

I've seen Sean pop up very occasionally. Rob Bolton too. But not very often.

Stewart Osbourne?

Not sure I spelled his last name right, soz.

Where's Surm been?

libcrypt?

I miss Bimble :(

jesse?

libcrypt might still be stuck in richmond, trying to get his car back. that place is a crack den.

Jesse still posts on the Chicago thread, not as much elsewhere.

dell?

Pleasant Plains?

Dude, he and his wife just had a BABY. Sure that they are pretty busy. :-)

This is true but its also true PP doesn't post here anymore.

:(

Was it something we said? :-(

Andrew Farr3ll?
The Australian Andrew?
Dee the Lurker?
Kate from Australia, aka Ipsofacto?

They were cool posters, I wonder what they're doing these days?

kate popped in to the mongrels thread a few weeks ago to say hi

where the fuck is Kerm

Kerm i miss u, and ur never online anymore either, u were always just there

:(

Andrew F is around places, just not here. I saw him in real life in the summer.

i saw dee the lurker post on ilm last week. I forget which thread. Not seen Kerm on ilx or aim for months sadly.

I miss dell and accentmonkey ;_;

(and plenty of other ILXors beside, but at least I know the others are happy in their new internet camps where they can look down on ILX and how distastefully indie we all are or whatever)

accentmonkey is around elsewhere on internets, blogging away and facebooking away and stuff.

Good to know, cheers. (Still miss her posts, but there we go.)

whither s1ocki?

oic he has a tumblr

gear! is going off on Yelp fwiw, great writer imo.

hey dudes!

been taking some time off ILX to try and procrastinate less and be more productive. of course i have found other, novel ways to procrastinate. as jaymc noticed i do indeed have a tumblr. when i post something there i feel marginally more productive than i used to posting to ILX, so that's cool. anyway i am going to keep hiatus-ing but just wanted to say hi, and i wanted my ilx foodie friends to see something i wrote about a really special meal i had on sunday... it turned into a rather epic three-part blog post but i thought you might dig it:

ARE YOU FINNISH?!

That story was hysterical.

Does libcrapt post under a different name now?

where is slock1 these days? ilx is missing a certain bon vivante flair without him

thought I saw him on the goon thread.

he joined a monastery!

he did not.

you got me

take him

stevienixed hasn't been around for a while, has she?

She posted to last month's WDYLL and said she was mainly knitting these days

darraghmac?

holy shit! where's darraghmac?

Oh yeah, of course. Didn't click that they were the same poster.

What's happened to Dan Perry, he hasn't posted since November? Unless he's changed his username from Hi Dere.

He de-"mod"ded himself, and that came with a change of login.

Wait - I think I remember someone getting into trouble for posting at work in the last month or so. Was that Darragh?

gettin heartily sick of phone surfing ilx at work

Productivity skyrocketed tho tbf

Ironically, less likely to be kept on than i was a month ago, regardless.

Drivin tonight.

Both d-mac and nakh have posted within the past two weeks.

Is Sunny River still around this 'ere place?

where's gear!

=omar little

!

i still get gear/slocki/cutty/vahid mixed up in my mind for some reason. and probably a couple of others that i can't think of at the moment

where's cutty

he still posts to noize & a few ilm threads but i think he got a new job last year so

so basically his priorities are all out of whack

1 ride bike
2 eat like cave man
3 do job
4 post to plain text message bord

WTTFFFFFFF

http://i53.tinypic.com/2uyje45.jpg

I don't think sunny river will return. I introduced her to ilxor and well, she's against anything connected to me. Sorry

has r1o natsume returned under another login?

xp: read that as "i introduced her to stephen ilxor and as a result she's against anything connected to me."

oh hey i'm back btw

yah noticed

yeah i thought you'd quit or something, what was your excuse?

wait for coming back or taking a week off?

for all of it

sheer feckless whimsy

yeah i know you were like working on the clampdown or w/e but i think its pretty shameful for quitters to return in gen. like if you say ur gonna do it and you come back yr tail better be between yr legs boy

i never made any public announcement go swing for your tail-tuck bucko

yeah u r in the second category

http://jonbischke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/determination-300x225.jpg

didn't u get rid of yr computer or something? and start devoting yrself more to the irish taxpayer? so now u just post random missives via phone? not really into this posting style?

can u link to fintan o'toole articles from yr iphone?

lol im being "mean" endless <3s

irish public servants can neither afford nor use apple equipment.

yeah i post from work from my phone, and yeah i've only recently been able to post from home at all. that and other stuff tbh. nothing to see here.

i can't make <3's all that easily from my phone either fwiw, but have some back surely

what ever happened to rock hardy i liked him

isnt Rock Hardy wmc now?

wait that's him?! whoa!

Actual rfi: why do people change their usernames so much?

necessity ~_~

lol

like a banning thing? Sorry, I've been on here for years but mostly as a lurker, unschooled in the ways of such things

Yeah, Rock Hardy is WmC.

So did Beth Parker definitely leave ILX? I miss her sunny wit and poetic reminiscences!

i don't know!

beth parker = "get bent" né?

Get Bent is JBR, I think.

get bent is bell labs.

acoleuthic

i miss beth parker too

me too.

is rev still self-banned? hi rev! if you're lurking, i hope things are looking up.

lfam?

afaik the markers project is about a dialectic of plans and snacks and he is in a plans phase atm

otm

the absence of cntndrzr is noted but somewhat offset by emergence of difficult listening hour, so there is still at least one person on ilx who makes considered & argued posts of more than three sentences

Where did teeny go?

saw teeny IRL this past weekend tbh

said she basically lost interest in ILX, doesn't check it that often

saw rabies/arbys on saturday- he's doing fine just super busy workin too much, getting ready for guitar school and hangin w his righteous gf

i think bell_labs has posted recently as bene gesserit

am0n?

I wish gaz'd come back, I wanted more of his son's awesome super carit comic strips.

Dayo lfam is elan iirc.

I'm no jaymc tho,so this could be unreliable intell.

Dayo lfam is elan iirc.

Oh shit I thought dude stopped posting like 3 yrs ago

Still missing Beth. Searched on her name trying to find the old poetry thread, and it's concerning how abruptly she stopped posting.

Ive seen her post on FB in recent times, tho how recently I'm not sure.

Oh, that's good to know. Thank you.

Hmm actually I take that back, shes either defriended me or is no longer on fb.

Oh. Bum. Still, as long as there was Beth After ILX, I'm happy. I wasn't around over the time she stopped posting so I missed what that was about - just seen the "Beth sends her love thread" tho, so I'm reassured.

WHich thread is that?

I miss her too..

Beth Parker Sends Her Love

Aww.. I missed that, that's great.

Haven't seen anything from Acoluethic for months...

Nope, we lost LJ to a marriage and happy times, I'm sure

Is he still (permanently?) in NZ?

aw is lj married, really? if one of y'all still talks to him tell him an internet person says congratulations!

engaged, and back in the UK as of my last update

wedding planned for December

oh also he has a new login but "rarely posts" and wont tell me what it is

i think i guessed what it is.

dont torment me like this sarahel

frogbs

I gave him mine to use whenever he wants it. That explains why "I" have been showing up on cricket threads as of recent...

I wAnted to add him on fb but couldn't find him

he deleted his account after he learned facebook is actually owned by the C.I.A.

Ah...is that the real reason why his FB account is gone? He didn't seem like the conspiracy-believing type.

thats what he wanted you to believe

Still around, but not sure he's been on ILX much.

Abbbottt hasn't been around since the deathdrone fallout, leaving us with this post:

'll show you the power of laughter! (Abbbottt) wrote this on thread ok lets just get this shit out of the way on board 7Curtis's 7borad on Jun 29, 2011

I should really gtfo this timesuck of a jizzbox obsessed website.

btw I was referring to ilxor.com here

:' (

I was thinking about that lately and feeling bad for having posted on the thread in question. (glumface)

I miss abbott. Fuck you, 77.

what was the deathdrone fallout?

77 thread wherein ilxors bait clueless van-dwelling rapey emo-monster via his revolting website

huh, idgi. any of it.

yeah, you don't want to know

*realises he has breached 77 protocol, shoots self in the face*

fuck it, imo.

never been on 77, or asked for access, but based on what I do know (and this) it doesn't seem like much of a force for good in ilx / the universe.

delete 77

cant believe it created deathdrone

You could count on two fingers the number of ilxors who "baited" him.

And by "baiting," I mean "posting non-sequitors to his website."

You could count on two fingers the number of ilxors who "baited" him.

not counting socks? ; )

yup obviously it was nothing, i mean it only made a long-term ilxor w/no history of oversensitivity quit

why would you post non sequiturs to his website anyway?!

Not for me to answer, but before people start dissing a board they've never seen or claim that numerous ilxors were baiting deathrapist, let's grab the reins a little bit.

*grabs reins*

*drives off cliff*

abbott come home 4 real :(

lol max

abbott come home 4 real :(

^^^^

^ otm

it was a supremely poor judgment call for any ilxor to start posting ppl's names (don't care if they were misspelled or googleproofed) to that guy's site

and when a bunch of other ilxors' reactions were lol nbd, well y'know, grab those reins dude

http://www.tackroominc.com/images/grab-life-by-the-reins-sm.jpg

by 'bait' i meant 'poked obliquely with a stick', apols for misrepresenting

guys maybe abbott went on vacation or she's taking a short break or something, it's been like two weeks since that post. chill out.

i think definitely the best way to get abbott back on the site is to start a fight about 77 on this thread

*smashes bottle on table*

*fights max*

*lets go of reins*

You could count on two fingers the number of ilxors who "baited" him.

It'd take many more fingers to count the ilxors who acted like a buncha sissies afterwards though.

You do need more than two to make a bunch tbh

hope abbott comes back

That was only a 77 thread because it was moved there to avoid traffic from that site tho, iirc. Started out in ILE and unfair to characterise all the other resultant bullshit as '77ors being all 77' as opposed to 'ilxors being all ilxy'

Deems OTM. 77 cannot be blamed for the deathdrone shite.

Said deathdrone shite acting as a mirror and making you feel "what the fuck? should i continue being here? maybe i need a break" though seems totally legit. But that seems to have more to do with humanity than with ilx itself.

hey guys i'm really glad we freaked the fuck out about deathdrone guy ~FINDING ILX~ two weeks ago and now we're just blabbing about him on the public part of the board

chaki

was just checking.

blame the great big bowl of pasta fagioli everyone had for dinner that night.

iirc part of what inspired abbott to stop posting was louis showing up and telling us our lives would improve if we gave ilx a rest. she seemed to feel this was true in her case, so hopefully she's doing well. <3

she didn't seem mad at 77 specifically fwiw; it was more like the experience of not being able to look away from the deathdrone thread was emblematic of her ilx experience.

eternal hugz at abbott of course

Since his name turned up more or less at random recently: g00blar?

nrq / history mayne

Ya, I noticed too and so asked a couple weeks ago. He's taking a little end of thesis internet break.

nijoli

Wasn't her court date supposed to be on the fourth?

Based on her FB updates she seems to be doing fine. Don't know what happened with the court thing though.

I think for some reason she able to operate independently of ilx.

i met a high school classmate of bernard snowy the other day, i have been keeping an eye out for him so i could say so, but he is no where to be seen

guys

I don't know if you know, but you can click Search, scroll down a bit, fill in someone's screen name and then sort, newest first - Bernard was still alive and posting 9 days ago.

R.I.P. this thread.

There's one other thing you need to click which I haven't revealed, so this thread doesn't have to die if people can't figure it out by themselves, ok?

not sure u ppl have sussed the purpose of this thread

*susses*

ha, I think I'm about to retire this screen name p soon. I just gotta get rid of D.A.M.'s huge stack of dangling bookmarks...

i know its been years but did sleep just ditch ilx for life?

dating myself here but I wonder about Horace Mann. I also miss StephenX but I could probably find him irl in DC if he is still here?

Horace still posts a bit, has changed names several times since that one

acoleuthic took a long break with a couple of one-off returns, has been posting regularly but sparsely under current name for a little under a year

Someone asked upthread but wither Todd Swiss? As he had cancer I really worry abt what happened to him.

Todd is around on ILX some. I talked with him at a beer event a few weeks ago, he promised to at least hit the Chicago thread a few times.

Oh thats good to hear :)

Probably should have asked this two years ago(?) but.. RabiesAndGentlemen?

lol

Arbys.

I think?

Saw some old revive and thought 'hey, that dude was cool.' Are you still here hiding under a different name??
Ah!

here i am

hi arby's! I love your roast beef sandwiches. <3

hi arbys! sorry I thought your logo was an oven mitt instead of a cowboy hat. the animated oven mitt mascot confused me.

hi arby's! I dont know if I love your roast beef sandwiches because the one and only time I went through your drive thru a cockroach flew out of the drive thru window and into my car and almost made me vegetarian 4 lyfe

O_o

haw @ mitten

omg

hi arby's! the one time i ate at arby's, i was looking at an andy warhol print on the wall and my dad told me that andy warhol was a "disturbed homosexual". also, i hate roast beef!

my dad told me that andy warhol was a "disturbed homosexual". also, i hate roast beef!

not even gonna go there.

I don't remember ever going to an Arby's but I guess I must have because I distinctly remember my parents having several of these BC cartoon glasses that Arby's gave out as a promo item in 1981 and can now be bought on EBAY for $6.49

It's so weird, the random stuff we remember.

wait, andy warhol was gay?

arby's, my man. i love your jamocha shakes.

thanks for reading,

brownie

My parents had those glasses too. I think most of our glasses were fast food promo glasses.

a BC tie-in! that is so fucking low rent, i love it

Oh, man, I totally remember those B.C. glasses.

Hey, arby's, thanks for being the only thing open in downtown Chicago that one Easter Sunday when I had to work. I could have starved to death, but your curly fries saved the day.

LOL I can't believe other people remember those damn glasses. YAY! I swear we had at least one of those in our cupboards until at least 1990.

I have never eaten at an Arby's but there's one a mile or so from my house and I took my son in there to go pee a few weeks ago. Smelled pretty nice (the sandwiches not the restroom).

a BC tie-in! that is so fucking low rent, i love it

haha. b.c. was like the most depressing comic strip ever. when i was growing up my older brothers had peanuts compilations, family circus books, garfield, etc. i would devour them. try as i might, though, i could never make it through this damn b.c. book that they had

also, am i making this up or wasn't johnny hart some way christian dude? if so why is his strip based on heretical evolutionary theories?

lol I remember hearing a rumor about how all the "beef" shows up to Arby's in liquefied form.

^yes, i heard that too

whaaaaat

Being Christian is bad enough for someone's who's the author of a comic strip called BEFORE CHRIST, but when you draw strips like these

http://thecereblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/bc-slam.jpg?w=500&h=180

you're really not doing any favors for anyone.

I mean, tons of great cartoonists are proudly religious, they just don't let it interfere with the humor of their profession.

wuz crappenin, me. i ate at me every other day bcz i was right next to my work then changed my screen name to myself and later ppl in this thread made me lol

wow @ that outhouse one. hilair

As far as BC/Arby's is concerned, I've been tempted to start a thread devoted to those weird partnerships.

For example:

http://betsylescoskydesign.weebly.com/uploads/4/1/0/0/4100497/1752901.jpg

I stopped at a Roy Rogers on my way back to Toronto from NYC and I ordered a roast beef sandwich excitedly. It was like eating a cutout of a picture of an Arby's sandwich. The worst I've ever had. One bite and I threw it away :*( I was so hungry too.
Jamoca shakes OTM. Those were like crack for me when I was a kid. Possibly because of the caffeine(??)

when i was a kid roast beef was just about my favorite food. i remember it being pretty decent at the roy rogers chains. arby's version though was like something you'd find in someone's shoe

Dude had a SANDWICH named after him and yet, here he is pushing HOT DOGS.

http://betsylescoskydesign.weebly.com/uploads/4/1/0/0/4100497/3559440.jpg

that's treason is what that is

haha

yeh all fast food places should be partnered with comic strips. what the world needs now is some sbarro pizza/funky winkerbean synergy

i remember my friend being kinda outraged when snoopy was in those life insurance commercials. feel kinda the same way about dagwood and curly fries

RabiesAndGentlemen probably ranks among my top 5 least favorite usernames (usernames only-- not posters)

arby's probably ranks among my top 5 favorite

some sbarro pizza/funky winkerbean synergy

kudos

Seriously, a kid buying a Moolatte shake in one of these would be like if McDonalds offered me Katzenjammer Kids mugs in 1981.

ahaha

JAMOCHA SHAKES ARE AWESOME
that is all

One day I'm going to stumble into some regional Northern Plains fast food franchise and find the walls covered in Hi & Lois memorabilia. Then, I will set that place on fire.

lol FFM the bus between NY and Boston always stops at a Roy Rogers in CT which is also why they always smell like fried food. The buses, I mean.

hah! I was seduced by the lovely picture of The Perfect Roast Beef Sandwich but it ended up being the very worst. I need to get myself to an Arby's, it's been so long.

http://consumerist.com/2012/05/teenage-boy-claims-he-got-a-mouthful-of-finger-in-his-arbys-sandwich.html D:

only one finger? those places are such ripoffs

it was probably like just a knuckle or something

I worked in a deli and sliced off my finger tip (only a bit - it grew back) and I quickly told the customer 'I got hurt! She'll serve you!' and pointed to coworker but the guy followed me along the counter to first aid station asking me why I stopped "half way" :( Like, as my manager was washing and wrapping my bleeding finger! Dude. Figure it out (also I told him - albeit quickly because I was bleeding everywhere!)

extra rare

did you give him the finger

hahahahahaha. I should've. Hopefully my coworker wrapped up the bloody prosciutto for him.

roy rogers in 2012 is an insult to rr in the late 80s/early 90s.

ahaha i need to watch "the wrestler" again or at least that scene where he flips the fuck out

did you any of you guys experience gino's? i guess it was a regional fast food chain that at one time anyway was licensed to sell kfc stuff.

one time i ordered chicken from them and it was pink. i half-expected to be munching onto veins after that.

i think, perhaps unfairly, that quiznos is the chain i would be most skeeved out to eat from.
i think it's that they have a "qu" sound AND a "zuh" sound in their name. sounds weirdly genital.

quimzo's! god that's perfect, i wish i was 13 again

We've got a Ginos in town, but I don't know if it's a franchise.

i could never get down with quiznos. like with all of their sandwiches being heated. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING??

We've got a Ginos in town, but I don't know if it's a franchise.

yeah, i should do more research, but at the time i recall (early to mid-eighties?) it was "Gino's" but featuring Kentucky Fried Chicken. sort of weird. that's that synergy i'm talkin about man

also, this was pennsylvania. we do things differently in the keystone state my friends

What is the possessive form of Arby's the poster? I wanted to congratulate him on his guitar the other day and I think I fluffed the grammar.

It's Arby''s isn't it?

arby's's's

If it gets too confusing, you can say America's Roast Beef, Yes Sir!'s guitar.

oh man, i swear to god i never realized that was an acronym till now

omg
neither did i
for real?!

also i thought it stood for
ar - roast
bee - beef

like Roast Beef's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym#Examples

huh, it's a backronym!
http://detroit.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php?c=937&m=

sigh, seconds too late

And now I'm taken aback by the Arrr Beee reference.

I have never put that together.

wolfman jack, tho!
that cheese sauce was always hella grody but the HORSEY SAUCE o lord do i actually want an arby's sammich right now
while i play diablo
i am a child i am a child

ha it's like spelling something out because your dog has begun to understand what "roast beef" means

R-B for the Raffel Brothers who started the chain

hey look another ilx thread has turned in to a fascinating conversation about regional foodservice establishments

hey, thread title has "milk" in it so back off 5-O.
