Say something nice about another ILXor

Do you know how to Negroni
like Bony Negroni

with an orange twist
it goes like this

Man, I'm totally having a negroni after dinner. It's Friday somewhere.

Negroni in the middle.

lag∞n consistently makes me laugh.

Yes, a true poster.

100%

lagoon’s good, i don’t gainsay it

president Keyes needs some approbation here too. made me actually lol irl like three times in the last two days

Non exhaustive ILBB mini edition aka me needing to give love to the mainly boys and not nearly enough girls of said board who make my ilx experience with their knowledge, wisdom, and willingness to call Manfred a cunt (I have had this in my notes forever so don’t @ me if inaccurate & if I left you out I’m sorry but I still probably love you)

Steve Shasta - a king of ilbb imo and also the idea of him keeping a notebook to record every time a player gets a knock makes me laugh

Clemenza - it took me a while but we are bffs now

PBKR & 龜 - good fans of bad team, Francisco Alvarez is the best baby Met

octobeard - left me one of the nicest responses I’ve ever had and I still think about it

WmC - I refuse to use the term “Barves” to avoid disrespecting both you and Matt Olson

felicity - picture the following rotation:

1) Prior (2003)
2) Wood (1998)
3) Scherzer (2017)
4) Strider (2023)
5) Pfaadt (2023)

Traitor Hand - Red sux

Mookieproof - ok I guess

*blushes*

You're already a bigger baseball fan than me by far. I check out usually about the time the Mets do.

you have big baseball energy gyac and it has revitalised the board - i'm very pleased at how this is turning out!

Shout out to Tipsy, for bringing a firm but mellow energy into political discussions.

XPs to Pbkr & TH both (lazy)

(cliff floyd saw this on some mlb network clip where they were talking about his swing and Floyd was like, so when you fix your mechanics then you get more hits and you can throw more hearts to your boys in the clubhouse, which is both an amazing description and also how I feel about ilbb)

Shout out to VG for pure and unbridled enthusiasm about the things and people she loves. I dig it even if I’m not familiar with the things and people. And when I am familiar, you know what? She kinda boosts my own enthusiasm in those cases

^^Looking forward to VG continuing to beat back the haters with a sharpened Flying V on the reg over in the Petty Listening Thread.

aw thx

thanking u gyac
I use "Barves" pretty often -- in my mind I differentiate btw onfield Braves (+ Anthopolous) and Barves ownership, but that distinction rarely shows up in my posts.

VG’s tv show threads have the best titles, they make me want to watch the shows!!

<3

very much agree, but VG's thread title description for The Bear will never be topped, imho.

I don't even watch The Bear, and that thread title brightens my day a little every time I see it.

VG writes about things on the internet the way I would like to write about things on the internet. Like she has this voice that is completely her own and never sounds forced, and she always manages to hit off the complete essence of a thing and why she loves it and why we should love it in a few casual sentences while also being really funny.

I basically exclusively watch VG-TV now. The rec's just hit too hard to try anything else

Also I like Vegemite, so some more big points to a great poster.

It also just struck me how appropriate the name is. A spread consumed by the common-man with a taste so courageous you can't help but respect the truth of it, even from the heights of cultural ivory-towerdom

Any time I want to look at The Bear thread, I search 'ketamine Gene'.

my crowning achievement :D

VG is an OG

will co-sign that a vg recommendation of a genre tv show or a buttrock album will always get my attention

guys i’m tearing up over here

*buttrock or dadrock, hopefully

DadButtRock

um no

dad rock as well, of course

While not a super frequent poster these days I met Kate78 tonight after prob 15 years of online friendship and she's lovely. Very much like I would have imagined and it was so nice to finally meet in person. :)

kate78 is great

She is marvelous

Yes! Also meeting ilxors after years of online interaction and finding out they're also great in real life is the best (I had a fabulous evening with Jaq when I visited Seattle last year, also exactly how I imagined she would be in real life)

love it, I met kate78 once in Portland and it was lovely, I met Jaq at the same time!

I met jaq and kate78 and donna brown(!) and a few others with Rev back in 2013, i think. gosh that was fun, and that house had more records than i had ever seen in a private collection

Ah its been years since I last met up with an ilxor! I've met mookie, caek (I think??), donut bitch, and obv all the local crew (esoj, s-, haitch, sic, moley, edwardO etc etc). I know Ive met another US ilxor too but I forget what his handle was, lxy's friend? Ugh too much alcohol.

jergins! haha I wonder if him and lxy and tehresa still hang out on that sandbox ILX he was hosting

xp <3

also jergins is now a bit more than lxy's 'friend'

jergins yeah that was he!

you met me, too!

It looks like I'll never meet any of you, and that makes me sad.

whatever happened to world ilxcon

Ailsa - yes! Think this was remarkable because we've known each other for so long online at this point. I asked about lxy and jergns because I did meet them maybe 15 years ago (wtf) bit hadn't seen them here in ages. Anyway was great. Would kick it with again in a heartbeat.

ILXor World FAP was scheduled for March 2020 so I guess we can blame covid

I’ve been fortunate to meet a number of ILxors (and former ILxors) in person, though I can’t remember every handle and don’t wanna accidentally real name people here! Hoping to meet many more.

Can confirm ufo is absolutely lovely in person. Glad to see they received some well deserved praise earlier in this thread
