Say something nice about another ILXor

and received great comfort in times of pain from kind compassionate folks, despite my general worthless blathering across this fine board

so like, should I get an "OTM" tramp stamp or ...

lol

haha

i legit started crying laughing at the ILX tattoos

the leg tattoo would save me money on buying tights so maybe i go for the double leg

i always thought it would be nice to get "WE WANT HEN FAP" on my forehead.

definitely go for the double leg VegemiteGrrl!

table, if you really did cry, you have to get the tattoo

sorry

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?

aaahhhhhh fuck what

only nabisco could pull off an OTM tattoo imo.

fremme neppa venette in a cursive font would look class though

I'm lucky that my husband understood what ILX was almost immediately. He even met some old ilxors in Seattle back in 2013. Donna Br0wn, kate78, The Reverend, etc. I talked with him this morning (he's at work) and he was like, "oh, so even though you didn't know Bill had passed, you felt something. Explains why you were crabby all evening!" He and Morbz would have loved each other lol.

only nabisco could pull off an OTM tattoo imo.

he must have one. i kind of want to start that rumor, regardless.

uh, maybe you can take your bullshit opinion to the "say something snide and disparaging about another ILXOR thread"

xpost yeah I have a hard time describing ILX to people who don't already know it, as "message boards" in 2020 people either think you mean Reddit or like a Joe Bonnamassa phpBB fan-site which sees one new post every two weeks.

Huh, I didn't really think of it like that - it depends on who you know of course - a lot of people I know in the UK I know from ILX or Livejournal - but my wife (who's from neither) gets what I say when I say the death of someone from the boards hit me. I think it's people who understand that a messageboard about X will stop being about X nearly immediately.

I mean, I could say I'm from an online community, but that just sounds like FetLife.

Karl, I really did cry laughing. My husband used to be a tattoo artist. He might pull out the machines and get working on my full leg tonight.

yes that was an IRL lol for me as well

xxp sounds like something a member would say

Lol, Rick Santorum was on CNN for the 5 minutes we watched last night and I tried to explain Santorum.jpg to my wife and . . . well you know the look.

My husband knows about ILX, but the idea of message boards or anything else online flies over his head. He only recently stopped referring to everything I do online as either "texting " or "downloading."

We're blagging on the intertube

I feel like I always misread your tone, but if this is serious, I am sorry for the offense and you are often OTM

What would an OTM tattoo look like sticking out above your wasteband?

Ugh, waistband. Why did autocorrect change it to wasteband? What the hell is a wasteband?

wasteband

o _ ^^

it's the collective noun for a group of wastemen

xpost I thought that was a weird googly eye emoji at first.

Do you know what I mean?

all my people right here right now

Appeared on this thread with a plan to say something along the lines of "I really appreciate loads of people on here who respond to posts and I don't really know who you are" (There was a point where I recognised people - could link posts to real names but not so much now)and then I read the above stuff. It would be weird to name people but ta.

i really love this board and i love all of you. i don't know what kind of person i would be without ilx's massive influence, but i know i would be worse off.

Same. I want to like crüt's post a thousand times.

i love you too, ilxor.

It has never been perfect, but at its considerable best it is so much better than so much else.

It's true.

otm

Sometimes you’re like UGH but then you look at the rest of the internet and hold on for dear life

yeah, i just stopped by a movie site where a week-old post about "the liberal agenda of race-mixing" remains pasted like used toilet paper to their forum and remains only somewhat challenged. it's an ugly ol' internet.

Seriously. The amount of verbal sewage that festers on video game websites in particular is kind of staggering.

to think my buddy Oystein told me about this place and I only joined initially to troll Geir

Which ILM Poster am I?

Every time someone trolls on ILX they move one step closer to acquiring Norwegian citizenship.

TS Askeladden vs. The Troll in An Eating Contest

One time when I was still attempting to learn Norwegian I was talking to a well-known Norwegian-American writer about her father’s grammar book- she was telling me he never lost his accent until the day he died- which seemed to make her better-known Francophile writer husband a bit jealous. He was a cinephile too, I used to see him around at screenings, although I never saw him and Morbius in the same room.
