Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

imagining opening Mack McCormick's book and that's all it says

new board description

Don't Stop Movin'

yeah it was good that you decided not to post that

i mean none of them are good singers

You know what else is absolutely wild how long it took

fruita's primary claim 2 fame is its annual headless chicken festival, which is a cursed amalgamation of sunny goofy small town americana & the unspeakably eldritch

...but I did not shoot the Deputy Provost for Academic Affairs

Judge John Dude

that's

that's just a reference

two references, jammed together

everyone loves "thing & thing"

two well-known pop culture idioms, artfully combined!

is this about Judge John Dude?

The "dudes" thread had some talk about how it was pronounced "deed" somewhere or other. I thought they would all be unfamiliar with the show.

it is not about that

what ILX thread makes me angrier than all the others combined

UK politics?

never anything against the original poster, it's the fawning parade at basic reference-mashing that gets me. it was a cute throwaway

That’s because it isn’t really “just a reference” it’s making a surprising connection between two things in context, which, often, constitutes humour

99% of things posted on that thread aren’t funny, that one was legit. Wins otm basically

As a member of the 1% I know what I’m talking about

wins' subsequent work ithatt beyond reproach yes

You’re absolutely loving that thread!

I'm probably a sad and bad person and should feel bad, but hating on that unwholesome creep does actually cheer me up a bit! Probably not healthy behaviour, but still not as widely corrosive as bringing ugly misogynistic murder dirges into the world to be lapped up by impressionable acolytes and working on a culture war cause celebre side gig. lol, wot a twat!

he should do a cover of Party Time

though i feel like that first Grinderman single was basically his version of Party Time, so it would be fun if he covered that one too

Cover bad news cycle with puns.

Priorities eh

I think I'll be forever baffled by the inconsistency with which ILM chooses to bring out the knives for certain musicians' transgressions, while other transgressions are completely ignored. Which isn't to suggest there is any kind of one size fits all answer and each person gets to draw their own lines in the sand, but sometimes it's a bit surprising to see who gets completely dragged and who gets a free pass.

Who’s not being dragged enough

Morgan Wallen, imho. It's just interesting to compare and contrast the Nick Cave and Morgan Wallen threads atm. Like I don't have a horse in either fight, I'm hardly a Cave fan and thought his royal obsession is indeed stupid, but it seems weird to see him getting dragged left right and center while folks are engaging with Wallen as if he wasn't on video dropping the hard R.

Like I said, everyone can draw their own lines, just seems weird to me.

tbf i've got no idea who Morgan Wallen is
