VOTE LOUIS

congrats

this will happen

I knew I could count on u louis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i get back from germanland this wknd

niiiiice

in his absence mister loujag has blessed you all with some hot rhymes and i post on his behalf

I – KJB

his AIM name
Liliput1
evoking a spacecraft
containing

a monkey
smallest of kind
bucket-sized capsule
mission

to find alien
instant messages,
all beamed through
the heavens

and the ages
have just this to say
we picked up
one signal:

good luck usa

II – Mr. Que

here’s
one for the dude
reaching for the emergency
eyewash for the poppage
fright for the sensitive
brother for the 69
lovesongs for the nation
today for the shouting
goodluck for the usa

III – Geoff

“Yes we can” on
Geoffrey Cannon
‘s watch.

He voted, Upon (accidentally, if you like) clicking "Suggest Ban" on one of your own posts, could the system display a screen that says: "good luck usa!!"
just a thought.

IV – Erica

Erica is lovely
Erica is sweet
Erica is married
To a rotter quite complete

He doesn’t clean his trousers
He doesn’t wash his toes
He ain’t getting no poem
Coz his soccer team blows

But Erica is sparkly
And Erica is brave
She posts to WDYLL
Knowing her ho be have

Her family’s from Germany
(What glasses, Erica,
They suit you so minutely!):
Viel Glück, Amerika!

V – Max

Great, ok, Max is a bro but he didn’t
originally say “I voted”, however he did
openly suggest I fulfil my promise and
do this thing, hence he deserves some
label of recognition, also I reckon he
usually votes in elections, so here’s to a
cool dude, a bro to all ILXors, often seen
kickin’ it with a beard, sometimes with an
undergrad’s guide to borad tort, but always
sufficiently poised between levity and bite
as to ensure sorta meaningful excitement

VI – Jhoshea

good luck USA
and with cricket on your side
swing the willow right

cricket: a contest
ancient and mythical, now
fashioned in Jho’s mind

as basketball with
sticks, giffed and looped, told through lights
and Phil Collins FAQ

a finer and more
sublime rendition of the
English summer game

cricket: a sport played
by two fierce teams: Democrat
and Republican

buddhist voted green
Obama won anyway
go update your vlog

VII – Haiku

Mr. Que, does he
derive from French for “it” or
does he rhyme with gay

all stand for Cozen
he is Scottish and his alt
login: “webinar”

if anything happens
in the Major League Soccer
Dan M notifies

who is Lamp, does not
matter, for the snorg girl loves
Lamp and so do we

what more can I say
of pretty Erica, swoon
of a thousand hearts

Jordan S has done
more for the humble web meme
than anyone else

Caek, you did not take
login “good luck usa”
but I prefer yours

Wilter, nor did you
but for your generous heart
congratulations

Jho, you already
got haiku, oh shit what’s the
plural of haiku

omg yessssss tears of joy ty louis

u2 hoos

today for the shouting
goodluck for the usa

^^^this should be imprinted on the dollar bill and in front of every us govt building

He's currently here UNDER A PSEUDONYM. Guess it and win a prize.

hey joe

who pulled the trigger on the suggest banning?

i did enjoy how Jags was only back for a few days before Grady called him out solely on the basis of his use of the word "serendipity"

hahah

welcome back, louis! : ))))))

whut

country matters, right?

shhhhhhh! <3

welcome to ilx country matters, and thanks for the poetry

btw i figured it out based on usr name alone - bløg evidence THIS MY BLØG

i think enthusiasm for your vlog may have been a contributing factor too

cheers ppl and mr que how is "que" pronounced???

LJ has gone from zero to total hero in my book

(plz stay of certain ILM threads and the 30 Rock thread though : )

off

it's pronounced however you like--i'm not picky with pronounciations. were i to say it, i would say it like the letter Q.

thank you que, the ambiguity is nice. caek i am buoyed by your words - our so-called differences have been transcended :) even if i had to watch charlton shipping 5 at home to SUFC the other week :(

louis what is going on with your jobsearch?

xp, yes, I think that was the day I realised I missed you terribly

jobsearch is currently on hold until after xmas, lots of GCSE maths tutoring in the meantime to cover my indulgences. will re-evaluate realistic (i.e. non-media) targets for application, still unsure of where to start. ty careers guidance service for being so helpful and expecting us to waltz into wherever we choose.

good luck. i get the feeling you need to work on your portfolio while the economy is fucked if your dreams of journalism are to be realised when things pick up again.

lol maths.

i had no idea you could do addies and takies.

aw its adorable how britishes say "maths"

so is "sports" you yanquis are so cute!

it is heartening, the number of people who cannot grasp GCSE-level algebra and will pay you good money to explain it to them

altho how many times can i say "do the same to both sides of the equation" before i turn blue, honestly

"it's letters!! in maths!! cannot compute!!!"

yah u think yr too good fer numbers is that it

i have been doing undergrad interviews this week. the kids i've been speaking to are two years older than yours, I guess. they were 'tards, and they are definitely getting worse. easy way to make oxbridge academic laugh very loud: say "let's take GCSE scores into account".

i have been doing some awesome discrimination against public school students tho.

jhoshea can u please solve the following thru factorisation

2x^2 + 2x - 12 = 0

jh0, please can you

- differentiate x^(-cos(x))
- integrate 1/(x^2 + x - 6)
- plot sin(x)/x
- tell me how long a day is on the moon

^^^ real interview questions

lol caek, maybe they are just nervous ; )

the GCSE maths syllabus is noticeably easier than when i did it, btw. and props to fighting back against oxford's particularly public-school-haven rep ;)

i half-tried to get a really good M4nchester Gra4mar School kid bumped off our list because, well MGS is for cunts, isn't it?

a day on the moon lasts one moon day--duh

good work, come to oxford in october.

cool, what should i wear? for like clothes and stuff

a monocle

does not moon day last forever if "day" is "length of own-axis revolution within orbit"

oh riiiiiiiiiiight---we only see one side of the moon basically ever, right? the other side is where madness lurks?

lol I have a couple of MGS friends :-/ but your motives are pure

the other side is where syd barrett is buried

someone post a photo of LJ to help Mr. Que out.

day = "time from sunrise to sunrise" or "time to rotate on its own axis" (give same answer)

oh riiiiiiiiiiight---we only see one side of the moon basically ever, right? the other side is where madness lurks?

this is the crucial fact you need to answer the question

(sub-question is: why do we always see the same side of the moon?)

dudes i cant do maths - gimme a break

because the moon was created by a super-asteroid impact on earth, hence the clustering debris had no rotational inertia

because the moon is mocking us always mocking us?

sweeet moves, moon

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Lunar_libration_with_phase2.gif

q: does the moon orbit in the same direction as earth's rotation? also, is the orbit normal to the earth's axis, or is it in the same plane as the earth's orbit?

jhoshea - the answer is x = 2 or -3

see me after class

ow the moon is freaking me out w/its weirdo wobbling

MATH ADMINISTRATOR this shit is totally unfair

look at it: 2x^2 + 2x - 12 = 0

forget the = 0 for now

=0

ok so u know it's a quadratic being factorised, hence u shd already have the following in mind

(2x...) (x...)

a bit of trial and error shows us that

(2x-4) (x+3)

multiplies out to give the initial equation

when (2x-4) (x+3) = 0, one of 2x-4 and x+3 must = 0 too. hence x is 2 or -3

thank u

dude i went to a high school w/o classes and did not attend college at all i thought i was exempt from this shit

it is never too late to learn

look at caek, he has to work out how galaxies are shaped based on math

that shit is scary-level intelligent

math is very important to cricket, btw

whatever caek doesnt even believe in dark energy - i mean come on

dark energy is very important to cricket

we are verging on douglas adams territory here folks

is that what u tell the kids before you start teaching them implicit differentiation??

whoa differentiation is not GCSE, calculus has to wait until high school finals

guess papers?

we have guess papers CBSE board of Math approved 2006-2007 comfort delectation and confidence :)

halp i need to know how long a day is on the moon this is the only thing between me and oxford university cricket team need GCSE guess papers answers

all you need is to be a half-decent australian/south african club cricketer, then to apply to Oxford Brookes University to do Business and Management Studies, then you automatically get into Oxford University Centre of Cricketing Excellence side :) hope this helps

the moon is always showing us the same face, which means that sunrises are separated by the amount of time it takes to go round the earth (i.e. 28 days). maybe draw a diagram if this is difficult to imagine.

lj has kinda the right idea for why it shows us the same face.

back already?

just can't get enough

so is "sports" you yanquis are so cute!

― caek

damn! didn't know it was actually sportamethics

caek will u post more math problems for high school students????

Mrs Smith has two children. They are not twins. One of them is a boy. What is the probability that she has a daughter?

Mrs Jones has two children. They are not twins. The tallest is a boy. What is the probability that she has a daughter?

I am celebrating my love for you with a pint of beer and a new tattoo.

Imagine there's no heaven.

I don't know if you're loving somebody. To be a poet and not know the trade, to be a lover and repel all women. Twin ironies by which great saints are made, the agonising pincer-jaws of heaven.

If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue, walk with kings but not lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;

yours is the earth and everything that's in it and what's more, you'll be a man.

It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your breath away.

this is actually the single moment that ilc has been building up to

does this mean cricket is americas new national pastime - cause i sure hope so

its an impt development but consistent with my prev forecast

we were ahead of the curve, as usual

that pic needs to be shopped

mr president u r not swiveling yr hips

he is learning valuable life lessons which he can apply to presidency - play it straight, keep yr eye on the ball, roll the wrists at the last second ^_^

Obama Cricket Guy

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/03/magazine/03Obama-t.html

At the end of our conversation, when I asked him if he was reading anything good, he said he had become sick enough of briefing books to begin reading a novel in the evenings — “Netherland,” by Joseph O’Neill.

!!!!

hope they blurb my ilc posts

"unban louis"

as an umpire, i've been involved in a number of amusing and controversial incidents, mostly involving lbw decisions given against my own team

and one fantastic one where we were 130-0 against a truly woeful side largely made up of youngsters, and this 13 year-old bowling seam-up at a spinner's pace bowls our opener a stomach-high full-toss which beats his pull, hits him amidships, and rolls onto the stumps. i was at square leg and immediately signalled a no-ball for height, and the standing umpire had no choice but to agree. poor kid.
