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
― Marten Broadcloak, mild-mannered GOP congressman (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 4 March 2024 19:15 (eight months ago) link
^^Looking forward to VG continuing to beat back the haters with a sharpened Flying V on the reg over in the Petty Listening Thread.

thanking u gyacI 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!!

very much agree, but VG's thread title description for The Bear will never be topped, imho.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 March 2024 21:25 (eight months ago) link
I don't even watch The Bear, and that thread title brightens my day a little every time I see it.
― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 5 March 2024 21:34 (eight months ago) link
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.
― Lily Dale, Tuesday, 5 March 2024 21:48 (eight months ago) link
I basically exclusively watch VG-TV now. The rec's just hit too hard to try anything else
― H.P, Tuesday, 5 March 2024 21:51 (eight months ago) link
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
― H.P, Tuesday, 5 March 2024 21:54 (eight months ago) link
Any time I want to look at The Bear thread, I search 'ketamine Gene'.

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. :)
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 7 March 2024 21:46 (eight months ago) link
kate78 is great
― butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table), Thursday, 7 March 2024 21:59 (eight months ago) link
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)
― ailsa, Thursday, 7 March 2024 22:24 (eight months ago) link
love it, I met kate78 once in Portland and it was lovely, I met Jaq at the same time!
― I painted my teeth (sleeve), Thursday, 7 March 2024 22:45 (eight months ago) link
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
― butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table), Thursday, 7 March 2024 23:33 (eight months ago) link
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.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 8 March 2024 03:51 (eight months ago) link
jergins! haha I wonder if him and lxy and tehresa still hang out on that sandbox ILX he was hosting
― I painted my teeth (sleeve), Friday, 8 March 2024 04:12 (eight months ago) link

― mookieproof, Friday, 8 March 2024 04:12 (eight months ago) link
also jergins is now a bit more than lxy's 'friend'
― mookieproof, Friday, 8 March 2024 04:14 (eight months ago) link
jergins yeah that was he!
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 8 March 2024 04:19 (eight months ago) link
you met me, too!
― jaymc, Friday, 8 March 2024 04:28 (eight months ago) link
It looks like I'll never meet any of you, and that makes me sad.
― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Friday, 8 March 2024 04:33 (eight months ago) link
whatever happened to world ilxcon
― mookieproof, Friday, 8 March 2024 04:37 (eight months ago) link
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.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 8 March 2024 08:50 (eight months ago) link
ILXor World FAP was scheduled for March 2020 so I guess we can blame covid
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 8 March 2024 08:57 (eight months ago) link
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
― H.P, Friday, 8 March 2024 09:55 (eight months ago) link
my big regret is having been way too awkward and shy to meet up with the melbourne ilx cru back when I was living there in the late 00s.
but i have met seandalai, wins and lex since and they were all awesome, love meeting ilxors in person
― Roz, Friday, 8 March 2024 11:44 (eight months ago) link

i saw hadrian at the record show last sunday. haven't seen him for years. though i don't think he posts here much anymore if at all. i was just thinking when we were driving thru northampton the other day about the time i saw momus on the street. such a weird person to see on the street in western mass.
― scott seward, Friday, 8 March 2024 12:18 (eight months ago) link
i feel bad that i haven't seen adamrl in years. he lives right up the road from me! though i don't think he has posted here in forever.
