Say something interesting about that statement. If someone wrote an autobiography, and it was named that, would you buy it? This is an important and "urgent" question.

I have this image of a bunch of boys growing goatees and donning cardigans and beginning to jump around yelling Woo Hoo!

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I would think it's about Blur. So, I probably wouldn't buy it, but then the only autobiography I own is "have a nice day" by Mick Foley.

Or, I would think it was a picture book of pixalated people.

it's about a slut, innit?

― buttch (Oops), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Could be Drew Barrymore's autobiography about her relationships vis-à-vis her drug use... I don't think I'm clever enough for this thread.

Gore Vidal, right?

Elizabeth Wurtzel?

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

It could be about athletes who run like really really fast.

so she's near-sighted then?

"...and I'm left with nothing but ringing ears from the Calliope and a bad taste in my mouth."

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 16:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Sounds totally Wurtzel. (I.e., "hahaha fear my solipsism!")

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

The ellipsis at the end is really the key bit.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah but there's an extra period suggesting the sentence is closed.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

if you've had so many boys they begin to blur, you're lucky to get a period at all........

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

ARGH

Well done. You EVIL man.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

What is with the ILXor obsession with periods these days?

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

that time of the month I suppose

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 17:38 (twenty-two years ago)

It does sound kind of Wurtzelish, but kind of Mae West too. It's not a bad title.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd certainly read it anyway

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

..because the rigorous beating I was giving "my boys" was beginning to take its toll."

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Not a bad title, but it can't beat My First 2,000 Men.

― chester (synkro), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 17:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Almost exactly what one of my first g-fs said to me in regards to her having dated 60+ fellas (by her count) and basically telling me I could do nothing that would hurt her emotionally, cuz [insert thread title here].

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 18:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know that I've ever had the energy to date 60+ men

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I had two girlfriends once. It was a nightmare.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I dated three guys at the same time once, but it wasn't for very long, and as horace said, a nightmare

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 18:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I've only ever dated one of Horace's girlfriends at a time.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I would read it, but only if it contained scenes of wanton scrubbage.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 18:41 (twenty-two years ago)

She had dated 60+ guys and she was 19 years old.

I had dated, um...(counting)...3 people total at that point in time.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 18:45 (twenty-two years ago)

That's not that unusual. I mean I didn't but still.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not saying it's unusual, that's just what the thread statement made me think about, what she said that time. I mean, had I met over the course of my life as many as 60 people who wanted to date me, I would have dated like 60 people by now myself!

(Okay, bowing out of this so as not to derail thread.)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

honestly, I thought the thread title was a quote from the Catherine M. book

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 19:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I guess I've been on dates with/had sex with around 50 people by now, but then I'm 43. On the other hand, I was in a monogamous relationship for over half of that.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

The thread title was something that my mom said to me, on the phone today.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Her eyes always bug out when I'm XXXXXXing her like that.

I'm sorry, that was awful. Do women get as upset as men do when people talk about sexy things and their moms?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the "boys begin blur" bit but the "after a while" needs something punchier. Too many syllables in the title. I don't know it just doesn't flow for me because of the "after a while".

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't really care if you have sex with my mom, she's totally trying to convince me to whore myself.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

i would not be interested in an autobiography with that title becuase i read it as "i've been with lots of boys and therefore i'm interesting".

― dan (dan), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought it was very much like something Winona Ryder would read and think was deep.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 20:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Sounds better than "The shoplifting bein to blur after a while..."

― brg30 (brg30), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe it's from a technical manual written by Jeffrey Dahmer?

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

(ok, I really apologize for that one)

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Imagine if it were blur slash.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sorry for the size, but it's really necessary:

"he boys begin to slur after I smack them..."

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 03:28 (twenty-two years ago)

If you're thinking of using it as a line for something like a book, I reckon it sounds better as "The boys begin to blur" and just left at that.

It sounds even better as a movie title, methinks. I like it a lot. It has loads of layers.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 03:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally, that image is the contemporary medusa and you have turned us all into stone.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 06:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i didn't even think about this thread in a sexual context. i thought it was gonna be about ilx. there are so many people here that many of the guys blur, to me.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 07:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi! My name's Damon!

― ask me about my friends from Mali (gabbneb), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 10:38 (twenty-two years ago)

i think Blur would be more popular if they always looked like that

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 10:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I am now completely convinced from that photo that Blur is actively conspiring against mankind.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

The evils that Damon coordinates in his bower against a cowering populace in particular should give us all the fear.

Blur: They Hate Us All!
