i like those old 5 and a quarter inch disks, irrationally i suppose

pointy shoes

er, i'll think of three more in a moment

Sock monkeys. They have a glazed stare on them. They do not look like monkeys. I have no idea how you Americans can cuddle them in bed.

Bicycles. DO YOU WANT TO TURN INTO A BICYCLE OR SOMETHING? Don't you know about the displacement of molly-cules? Aren't you worried that they have taken over half of Cambridge?!

Quiche - URGH.

Women on Hollyoaks - THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME and this reminds of Gene Wolfe book Thee Fifth Head of Cerberus which features millions of genetic clones (and a whonking bit of incest actually, crikey).

Kylie - this might just be me being a menko.

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 14 November 2003 12:20 (twenty-one years ago)

If we're talking about disklikes I rather like the way linux "mounts" disks but DON'T like the way that the Beast only does this somewhat sporadically.

Good old B: drives. I have a new order single shaped like one o' those.

Which are slightly too big and I walk like one of those monkeys with big toes.

HEY and I have curly hair. Jim do you just hate me?

1) Lots of people doing something. If people are doing something I tend to think it's better to do something else and use this as justification for thinking that what they are doing is wrong.
2) Fictional literature.
3) Art that is not in an art gallery.
4) New build apartments (pine/laminate flooring, white walls, door handles with nice action, kitchens with the appliances hidden behind what appear to be cupboards, those tiny wee fucking tiles that are about an inch square an are generally blue, glass blocks)
5) The property ladder.

You need to get rid of everything except the art otherwise you won't be able to see it properly. You'd just think about it in the same way you think about life and nothing would be gained.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Gaz: I've never thought about that specifically but I think it's an absolutely fascinating thing to put in an art gallery as non-art when you consider its massive repertoire of symbolic connotations (mouth, vagina, operating theatre/abattoir, bodily functions, I suppose it pre dates minimalism too). It just reeks of the slightly misogyny and massive intellectualism that make's duchamp's work so remarkable. It's a very male thing. VERY male.

― neil simpson (neil simpson), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

mouth, vagina, operating theatre/abattoir

wot?

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

That's what it looks like. Honest, it really does. Look harder!

― neil simpson (neil simpson), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Outside it's a urinal, inside it's art.

i don't like this fickle definition and it only enforces my reticence towards galleries further. why can't you appreciate the urinal (of all things this is NOT a good example) as a work of art in it's true context and place of function?

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

cos the true work of art gets in the way?

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

It's the best example there is.

Why bother considering something as a work of art ourside of an art gallery? When you separate something from the world and put it in an art gallery it gives you a chance to look at in a way that is otherwise not possible because it is entirely free of context and function. If the work is any good, then this will teach you something (not necessarily conscious) which you can then take out in to the world.

I think you're thinking in terms of the beauty of things where as I am trying think of their role in life (of which beauty is a part).

― neil simpson (neil simpson), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

o, is that the fuction of art then neil?

(almost said sod off back to lurking there ;-P)

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

thinking about the role of objects in life when they have been removed from their role in life = curious

Why bother considering something as a work of art ourside of an art gallery?

this instantly renders your definition of art as somewhat limited (i'm sure this is really not the case tho)

Duchamp's Urinal remains, as it was intended, the biggest spanner tossed into the mechanism of art theory there is. Attempting to use it to prop up an argument on the dynamic of the confines of the white wall is itself, Duchampian in its absurdity.

Some of these are quite rational as concerns go, but it's my apoplectic reaction to them that borders unhealthily on the irrational.

7. Cell phone abuse
8. The notion that Avirl Lavigne and Good Charlotte are torchbearers of Punk Rock.
9. The notion that "Austin Powers" and Ben Stiller slapstick movies are the veritable zenith of comedy.
10. Cameron Diaz
11. When people in supermarkets (usually my wife) start opening packages and eating/drinking the contents before we've paid for them.

it's not art if it isn't in an art gallery

How many painters paint in galleries? Is it not art during the creation process? Does it only become a piece of art once it is hung up in a gallery? Similarly, could I simply hang photographs of the area between my scrotum and rectum on the walls of a gallery, and thus it becomes 'art'?

Okay, many many issues now. I've just been in a meeting and have laods to do so this is going to be my last post until monday as I only do this from work cos I don't have a computer at home.

(I don't know how to do the whole italics thing so...)

"thinking about the role of objects in life when they have been removed from their role in life = curious"
Yes. There's no space to remove your preconceptions when in the real world.

"this instantly renders your definition of art as somewhat limited"
I think considering the relation between the role that art played in the church in the past and the role it plays in art galleries in our faithless times is absolutley crucial. I have faith in the works themselves, not what they represent. When I go to an art gallery, it's an act of devotion, reverance, pennance even (it doesn't have to be enjoyable). I do this cos it makes the rest of life better. I don't want to have to think like I do in a gallery when I'm not in one. I just want to live more. My definition of art *is* somewhat limited.

"Attempting to use it to prop up an argument on the dynamic of the confines of the white wall is itself, Duchampian in its absurdity."
Yes, and I fucking love it.

"This is EXACTLY why I think art needs to NOT be confined to galleries!!!"
It can't happen anywhere else.

"and thus it becomes 'art'? "
No. I never said art was anything in an art gallery.

"galleries are where art goes to DIE"
Yeah. Reminds us that it'll happen to us someday too. And the hung human form is stunning. ("she can't hold her eyes still or her voice, like nooses hold neck still in excellent poise" bonnie billy).

I appreciate though that some of why Neil wants his art to be limited to galleries is the same as why I want it NOT to be limited to galleries...I think the difference is that I prefer to have all aspects of life mixed together into a gobbledygook of everything-all-at-once-ness.

1. Cheese. One time when I was five years old, I was eating cafeteria enchiladas, which I normally liked a lot because we had good cooks in that grade school. As I was swallowing the last bite of the first of the two enchiladas we got served, I started gagging. One thing led to another and... well... a dislike of cheese began that has lasted to this day.

2. Sunny days. I suppose now that it's getting cooler outside, I should be able to stand sunny days, but I still can't. I really and truly hate when it's really sunny outside, as in "not a cloud in the sky and the sun is just beating down on us" sunny. I will get into very foul moods if it's sunny many days in a row.

3. The Dallas Cowboys. Could also fall into the "rational dislikes" category. Doesn't need explaining.

4. For a VERY long time, I could not see the joy in pregnancy announcements. I suppose it's because about eight of my classmates gave birth before our graduation (out of a class of 120) and about four more were pregnant during that time period, but I did NOT think being pregnant was something to celebrate until just the beginning of this year, when I got over all of those feelings.

5. Double dipping nauseates me to no end. But I suppose that could also be filed under "rational dislikes" as well. It's bad enough when Mom does it, but when another relative does it with a food item from our own home... ugh. I've had to throw away about $10 worth of otherwise perfectly good stuff because of double dipping offenses.

― Pancakes For Breakfast! (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 14 November 2003 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

1. the smell of pampers diapers and the smell of bags for cleaning up after pets (nb: these count as one because they have the same smell.)

2. when my mother watches me eat

3. that my sister said, "the books you read always look so complicated" (it sounded patronizing to me, and i felt guilty because i have been reading the same book for weeks.)

4. littering

5. when people use more than one of tube of toothpaste or whatever at once

1. Gum or people chewing gum
2. People who poke their fingers on my monitor to point something out thereby leaving a greasy fingerprint mark
3. People who on seeing the amount of books, records, etc. I have feel compelled to say "Why do you have so many books? Are you opening a bookstore?"
4. When I'm working on someone else's computer in their office and another person comes by and says "why so-and-so, you've changed". Why don't you change your fucking tired old joke?
5. People who can't be bothered to use Google on their own.

this might be better suited to a "pet peeves" thread, but i hate it when an "anonymous" poster forgets to log out and another poster has to make a REALLY BIG DEAL about it and announce "you might want to get a mod to change that." so of course now EVERYONE'S going to click to see who it is and that just invades the poster's privacy even more. thanks a lot, fuckfaces.

― ethereal cereal (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 17 November 2003 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

what? i've done that recently, but on the thread it happened on, not the Shout for the Mods thread. Is that what you meant, them posting it to that thread?

― oops (Oops), Monday, 17 November 2003 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

no, just in general. if you're really that concerned about the poster's privacy, hop on AIM, find a mod, and ask us to quietly delete the login name from the message.

*pens that write in pastel colors

Radios, open windows, tufty Federico sharkfin mullets and similar, particularly when accompanied by chunky pinstripe suit jacket and jeans (very possibly not irrational, but engenders disproportionate amount of rage anyway), post-rock

I second everyone who dislikes general overpermissiveness by parents. I mean I know you're very progressive and lenient but if that little piece of shit steps on my bare toes one more time I'm turning it into glue, that is if I get to it before crystal meth or prostitution do first, something you would consider, "Unfortunate yes, as we love our child, but it is our child's choice, ultimately." Yeah, way to work it through, guys.

Did I say I hated ILX? It annoys me sometimes certainly, but... Hang on, Sarah, you hate me?

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 1 December 2003 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Well sarah, you don't have to worry, that'll probably all change.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 1 December 2003 11:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Only if you come out again in your lime green bag and scarf combo with ridiculous lipliner, Barry :)

Non standard size teaspoons - particularly smaller than usual ones.

one month passes...

REVIVE for more irrational disliking of things.

I have a customer who calls very frequently who runs a business with the word "Anaconda" in the title. She of otherwise very clear speech and enunciation persists to pronounce this word "anDuhconduh" (with emphasis on the "Duh") as well as use it far too frequently (sometimes twice in the same sentence). I don't know why but this literally makes my skin kuhRAWL and I swear if she calls me one more time today and says "hi, this is [blankity blank] again from anDuhcondah [blah blah]" I probably really will yell at her.

There's this middle aged couple, and every Sunday morning they walk up and down the same hill in the park, they don't go anywhere else, they just trudge up and down the same damn hill. They annoy me so much.

"1. Raw tomatoes" i share this same affliction
'"Y'all"' i'm glad that this is the irrational dislike thread or i'd be very offended, as would most people from the south.
i love the taste of mushrooms, but i can't stand the texture to the point where i gag when i try to eat them.
small dogs
babies
people who think it's wrong that i don't hold babies (i guess that's rational)

two months pass...

People who are over twenty and still do hunt and peck typing (I just got this one yesterday)

People pounding hard on the keyboard so you can make out every time they type a key(got this yesterday too)

People drumming on something who can not come up with one consistant beat and any rythem whatsoever

People sneezing so loudly you can hear them in the next room, with the door closed

People poking me, especially in the arm

People telling me to shut up about something when they have nothing to talk about and then they complain about how bored they are and how quiet it is

Actually, make that last one hypocrisy

I have a customer who calls very frequently who runs a business with the word "Anaconda" in the title

Maybe it's something in the air, but I can't come up with a possible business that could have Anaconda in the name that doesn't have something to do with the sexing.

- Every scene I have ever seen of urban Japan
- Singapore, my "homeland"
- People telling me my English is very good. I know they mean it as a compliment but I find it massively condescending. Of course it's very good, I've spoken nothing else my entire life!
- People who, when you criticize contestants in various competitions (American Idol, beauty pageants etc.) for their failings, say either a)Well, that's just YOUR opinion or b)Let's see you go up and do better then. It's about self-awareness not courage, pinhead, if someone's untalented/ugly/stupid then they shouldn't be taking part in these competitions!

I think it's time to remember the "button fear support forum."
irrational hatred of objects

Fear of tomatoes
irrational hatred of drapes

three years pass...

Clip shows - such as Channel 4's "Fifty Greatest Comedy Sketches" - which give away all the fucking contenders in a dumb montage at the beginning. Similarly, any show which previews the next show/the next part of the show by showing THE BEST BITS.

Those dislikes are perfectly rational.

fifteen years pass...

that shirtless bert comedian. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i can't stand his face so much. he's always got that huge guffaw face. and he's so popular that comedians i actually like are constantly having him on their podcast shows. i can't listen to one joke. ahhhhhhhhhhh.

also i almost punched a guy at barnes & noble last night for having a really loud and long phone convo while i was trying to browse the sci-fi. it went on forever! some sort of new coffee bean machine idea? i have no idea. he finally moved away from me and i went to find the criterion dvds and there he was! so loud. i was tempted to start a long loud conversation with myself right next to him but i just glared and he moved away again.

also i was really happy to go to popeyes after - omg i was like a little kid - and i kinda hate that so much of their time is taken up by huge phone orders. takes so long to get the chicken. phone orders to a fast food chicken place seems like something that should be outlawed. or reserved for pandemics.
