Best get this sorted out then. 30 words or less and then we'll set up a poll to elect the inaugural ILE In-Crowd from out of the people who reply. And don't give us any of that Groucho Marx nonsense about not wanting to belong to clubs that'd have you, either. You wuv it.

(Duties of the ILE In-Crowd will be largely ceremonial - upkeep of old threads, opening of new threads, care and feeding of the new answers page, oiling and maintenance of the Hanle y Response Generator. The post does not command a salary.)

Tom, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

surely an honorariam of thirty barrels of cheese or somehting is appropriate

Ed, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have my wit my charm and also to bring the average age down and conversely make you all look cooler and place your rapidly wrinkling fingers back on the pulse of youth culture. (thats way more than 30 words, see how we young things don't care about the rules?) : )

Ronan, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Clearly though I have no concept of basic grammar judging from my last posting

Ronan, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And yet you try, Ronan. You shine so hard.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's true what they say God (aka Ned) loves a tryer.

Ronan, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I were Ned, I'd be welcoming Ronan into my own private "in-crowd" without delay.

Sean, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ned you shouldnt post as other people like that

Ronan, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That was Sean's own expression of unbridled lust. If he can't have Conor of Bright Eyes, it seems, he'll go for a real Irish lad of the same age or thereabouts. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Really? Damn and I'd got all dressed up thinking it was you Ned.

Ronan, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

pleezpleezpleezletmebecooli'llbeyourbestfriendipromise!!!! ;)

di, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd like to apply for the lurker in residence position, please.

turner, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Another Bright Eyes supporter? To this I must give a Mr. Burns-esque "ehh-xcellent."

bnw, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ohhhh-kay.

Nitsuh, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have a large penis

anthony, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You need a foreign mascot.

nathalie, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm the damn moderator, I AM THE IN-CROWD!

DG, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You need a country dwelling bumpkin to counter balance the elite Metropolitan intellegentsia. Alternatively I could be the ILE middle England mole.

Billy Dods, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i have a crusty anus.

Geoff, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Any other crusty body parts, anyone? "Best get this sorted out then."

Simon, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My armpits smell of minestrone - does that count as crusty. I am very good value in a crowd - especially in a in crowd, and whenever the ILE massive meet up I am always greeted with wary aprobation.

Pete, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Crusties eat Minestrone so I guess so.

Ronan, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am the shark who hunts alone, I shun your cliques, I spit on inclusiveness... er wait, I want to be one of the cool gang too, am I in? Do I get a badge?

DV, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i'm maura, duh.

maura, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am an observer representing the United States. Therefore, although I have access to the in-group this won't violate the principle barring me from being a member of any group.

j.lu, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, actually, what is up with the minestrone / body odor connection? How can anything that smells so much like a human being be reasonably tasty?

Alternately, what's up with that horrible smell babies and toddlers have? Not the messy diapery one, but just that base-level child smell?

Nitsuh, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think it's something to do with all the milk. Some people like it Nitsuh. You should be less lactose intolerant.

N=ick, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nick, that joke was so bad I feel like I made it.

Dan Perry, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In a very real sense, Dan, you did.

("in a very real sense" = my favourite nonsense phrase)

Nick, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I come from Winchester, like many others. Hence we should stick together. I can also pick apples fast, hence would be handy in case a juicy snack was needed.

Bill, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I [...] would be handy in case a juicy snack was needed.

Bill courts the cannibal vote. How will this affect his standing with the vegetarians?

Dan Perry, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well I wouldn't be standing anymore if you all eat me. Sorry. I just sunk very low.

Bill, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dan, you're scraping the barrel, and coming up with BARREL. Stop it, you nut.

I believe that ILE should have representation from all 50 US states. Therefore, I nominate myself as the CT rep for this bitch - recognize, damn it. Dan & Otis can tangle for MA rights.

David Raposa, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If that's the way we're gonna play it, I'm willing to represent CA.

Sean, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dave, one day I'm not going to edit myself and post EVERYTHING that pops into my head. You will be amazed at how banal and unfunny I can be. Besides, Bill's response more than makes up for my grasping.

Dan Perry, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can lower the average age
I have no other qualifications

Maria, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i'm the only person from penns woods (i think.) i'm a shoe in. maybe we could have two, like senators. or is that representatives. fuggin civics classes...

jess, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm so gutter prissy chicks fall in love with me.

Frank Kogan, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I qualify as a solicitor one week from tomorrow.

Two words: *Pro bono*

Trevor, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Two better words: anti-Bono

!

mark s, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You too, eh?

Trevor, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bono is certainly not part of the ILE in-crowd. If he came poking his nose in around here he'd be shown the door sharpish, let me tell you.

DG, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There's a thought -- what if Bono was in fact D**mp*tr*l?

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one year passes...
Hey, that's my problem. I forgot to even *apply*. duh!

Graham (graham), Saturday, 5 October 2002 12:20 (twenty-three years ago)

three years pass...
WTF is this?

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Friday, 21 July 2006 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

It's about ILE in-crowd membership applications.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 21 July 2006 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

Clearly Tom was reacting to 9/11.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 July 2006 20:05 (nineteen years ago)
