Say something nice about another ILXor

lol i didn't even realize that's where the thread was located

many people are saying that onethread is sweeping the nation

xp burrito it's not a matter of not being invited, it's just a knock on the door situation

it's been
onethread
since i posted on u

god, if you knew how intensely i have been listening to that song lately. i've been trying to adapt this really serious guitar version of it

i fucking cried to sinead o'connor last week, goddammit

Most Sineaded-Looking Barenaked Ladies Member on This Album Cover

It's been seven hours
And fifteen days
Since you looked at me
cocked your head to the side and said i'm angry

I can see whomever I choose
I realized It's all my fault but I couldn't tell you

She cries to her own songs too, tbh

And to other people’s songs too!

nothing wrong with crying to a good song tho

A bit weird when it's "Detachable Penis"

Your own
detachable

C. Grisso/McCain is super knowledgeable.

Missed this before. Thanks! High praise coming from you, who knows a thing or a thousand!

Couldn’t think of nicer, smarter, funnier, better read, more discerning people than you lot to spend end times with.

Sorry, meant that for one of the second thought threads but there were too many to pick one.

Pom has gone from being mysterious to annoying to amusing to a solid fave.

I was gonna fp pom for incessantly saying “new board description” about any old shite but then he copped to it so I didn’t

Not a bad idea, keeps him from getting too much of a big head about it.

Also, I miss poster ogmor.

Right back atcha, gyac.

We really do need a new board description, though. Do you disagree, wins?!?!?!

Meant to say moderately amusing btw.

I basically only use zing now so never see the board descriptions

Ah, that explains it.

ditto with Flagging, but i do think of them fondly. wish the old ones were collected someplace but, all things must pass.

shit, a tyrant gets covid and evryone goes all simp lovey dovey. jk jk

when u right u right 😞

lily dale is a great and valuable poster imo

james redd is awesome and occasionally astonishing, but i'm worried about when there's nothing left to say about emmitt rhodes

Lol, thanks, mookie.

(P.S. it’s spelled Emitt)

<3 damitt

Wow, thank you, Brad!

Damitt Rhodes.

Keeping in the spirit of this thread, I must say it doesn't get much better on ILM than when Lily and Josh In Chicago get rolling on a Springsteen thread.

OTM

james redd is awesome and occasionally astonishing

can't say it better!

Can I just say that this thread occasionally unsettles me on account of its implicit favouritism? This is totally on me, of course, but as a lame corrective I’d like to send out a <3 to all ILXors, past and present.

I appreciate you all, thanks for tolerating my bs

Unsearchable user and fellow ghost/nobody wins is good, not bad imo.

Josefa has an incredibly detailed knowledge of and sensibility regarding old television culture and the old weird NYC restaurants, among other things.

Thank you, I appreciate having an audience who cares about such material

Feels particularly germane atm to say that ILX is home to an exceptional group of people. I value this space and pretty much all y'all more than I can say. And perhaps I need to say it more often and with more specificity, because you just never know, do you.

I was going to search for this thread just so that I could post something similar, but you beat me to it. Jerk.

for sure. <3 old lunch, and all of you, really. we are just people talking to each other

When in a conversation irl I refer to ILX, it is so weird and hard to sum up this place in a short way that captures the outsize impact this place has had on me. "Message board where I learn about everything" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

I tried to find a way to tell my wife that someone I knew, but only in a way, passed away, and it was tougher (in every sense) to convey than I expected. How do you describe ILX? How in the world do you describe Dr. Morbius to someone who has no idea who or what you are taking about?

Yeah, i think I learned to be an adult here.

Tough lessons sometimes, but this is probably the closest thing I have to a church fellowship.

i was going to say, message board isnt really all this is any more. a digital village?

I try to think of ways to describe it or talk about people on it that aren’t defensive-sounding but it’s hard. Then I want to backtrack and to add things like “but I met him several times in real life and used to run into him quite a bit in the city! One of his best friends lives a few blocks from me! She used to date one of my best friends when they were in college, he was in my wedding party. As was my other friend who is a DJ at the station where she is also a DJ, where he was well-known as a volunteer! It’s all connected do you see?” So even more defensive. I have some formulations that I tell myself at least, but I can’t type them into the chat box right now.
