Dan, that was completely uncalled for.

Yeah, we did, here (scroll down).

Before I get angrily righteous at Ronan, can i ask if we've done a thread about N's inaction?

I refuse to contribute to this thread as we've done it before.

I can't believe N. hasn't shown up yet to mention that we've done this thread before. TWICE. Oh well, when he gets here he'll probably be too stupid to notice. Plus what do you want to bet he skims the whole thread and doesn't even notice me pointing this out?

Picture it: August 8th, 2001: on the old greenspun server, ILX begins to display threads backwards, with the most recent posts at the top. I decide that it would be funny to try and create a massive argument in reverse, so that it reads the way we've grown accustomed to. It all goes wrong. Furthermore, the server issue is eventually resolved, and all threads are put back in their proper order. This makes the threads conducted the other way round look sort of weird.

Jess tries to do it again and make it go right; I point out that it was funnier when I did it.

Humpty Dumpty had a great point. Especially about the vegetables. It's just not really germane to the discussion.

What do you mean "germane"?

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 17 February 2003 06:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Germane Crowell. The Lions must find a way to get production out of him this year or they are fuX0red.

― Dan I., Monday, 17 February 2003 07:02 (twenty-two years ago)

These threads will never work so long as no one tries to actually say things the previous posts could be construed as responses to. If no one does that the thread winds up as useless as having feet growing out of your armpits. Also, upthread, Humpty Dumpty had a great point. Especially about the vegetables. It's just not really germane to the discussion.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 17 February 2003 08:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean really, what possible response is there to being caught with your dick in the Christmas pudding?

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Saturday, 25 December 2004 01:23 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, that's as awful as I'd expected it to be.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Saturday, 25 December 2004 02:50 (twenty years ago)

Of course when someone explained to me that it wasn't *really* a Christmas tradition, I just backed away from the dessert table sort of sheepishly.

― Hurting (Hurting), Saturday, 25 December 2004 04:00 (twenty years ago)

I will never look at pudding the same way again.

And Chris, thanks for that, um, heartwarming tale about the egg nog. Thanks to your story, I am NEVER even getting NEAR that stuff ever again!

GET THIS FILTH OFF MY EINSTEIN THREAD

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Saturday, 25 December 2004 15:15 (twenty years ago)

At the office Christmas party last year, someone put on Paul's Boutique, and being that I'm Jewish and rather ignorant, and thinking it was a traditional Christmas record, I followed the advice of the man who intoned ... "If this goin' be that kind of party ..." only there weren't any mashed potatoes.

― Hurting (Hurting), Saturday, 25 December 2004 16:42 (twenty years ago)

I'd just add that the post-structuralist idea that Bruno Schmidt intended us to translate '4e88' (and its brilliant prologue, 'Hello') entirely into 3D chess moves, whether or not Ostermann's Reversibility Syndrome applies, runs counter to Parr's 'theory of academic discourse'. If Mark S. wants to say otherwise, I'm afraid he's just going to sound terribly 2003.
