ok how come on the what do you look/sound like threads whenever some girl meekly posts her picture or voice theres always a thousand guys telling hercreepy things she looks like ("ilx girl xxx, you look kinda like the girl from sleater kinney crossed with winona ryder :-)") and then feels the need to always end paranthetically with 'and thats a good thing', like is the girl reading it is gonna be all like, that cock!! that bastard fucker!! oh wait a minute, hold the fucking phone, a GOOD thing?? yo i think i'll touch his penis now!!

trife (simon_tr), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

gee trife you look kinda like the 'nerdy' girl from tv show/movie xxx (thats a good thing)

trife (simon_tr), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe if you had a little more personality and intelligence you would have more admirers and less envy, did you think about that?

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

ally your bitterness makes you sound kinda like maggie glyllanhall

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

(thats a etc)

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:02 (twenty-two years ago)

trife you sound like Albert Rosenfeld

Herbstmute (Wintermute), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

oh fuck off trife. I mean really: what's your point? that everyone else is a shlub? Fine. I am. Deal with it.

oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

when will one of the thats-a-good-thing posters come to this thread and defend their icky constantly-repeated phrase!!!

haha xpost!! ahh like creepy moths to a flame

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

hey wait that happened to me! and I totally, felt, like, well, um, nothing really. Thanks for the thought, though.

teeny (teeny), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

That's A Good Thing, new on Fox this Fall (finally a worthy vehicle for that sassy redhead out of Suddenly Susan)

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, I said it once! Because I mentioned teeny looked like someone who only I knew. Perfectly innocent remark. There are plenty more icky remarks that are made on those threads.

Trife: "Did ya ever notice eveyone on ILE posts like this?"

oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah im not claiming any general offense, everyones reasons for being disgusted by ile may vary

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

so, again, what's your fucking point? that you're creeped out by innoccuous off-hand remarks? Congratufuckinglations! Here's some licorice!

oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

You're just overreading, dude. Adding "that's a good thing," as long as you don't actually mean it's a bad thing, is standard. Maybe I think Ally looks like Moon Unit Zappa, but if I say that, there's a chance she hates Moon and is gonna throw something at me, so we've evolved the necessary disclaimer, because the guys who didn't all died of head injuries.

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

oops you kinda look like the reason i mostly stopped reading ile (thats a good thing)

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

also i didnt imply it was anything but an 'innoccuous' trend, methinks..doth protesteth...etc

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

i mean if you want here is a good place you can go harrass ppl with 'WHATS YOUR FUCKING POINT?!?!!?!': http://ilx.wh3rd.net/newanswers.php?board=1

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

everything i say is intended to be insulting so i have no need for this phrase

(thats a good thing) vs (not that there's anything wrong with that) fite

the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

trife you're kinda the reason i mostly stopped reading ILM
(hey, maybe if i post more you'll totally stop reading...also, for someone who doesn't read ILE, you sure seem to know all about our habits)

oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

dont have to read many thread to see theyre all identially overrun with homogenous bullshit

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Has anybody ever noticed on Scooby Doo it was like they were stoned all the time?? Hee hee....

My job totally sux, but I'll be FREE at 5:00! Livin' for the weekends, baby!

I wonder if rainbows go to a better place, and if I could follow them there...

xoxo to Oops *grin*

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

hey trife, what's your job? i ask merely for information

the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

life is homogenous bullshit. complaining about it just makes people hate you and you to hate yourself. have fun.

good thing your posts run the full gamut of human thought of emotions. you never know what to expect from trife!

oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry Oops, I've been in a shitty mood today, I had to stand in line at the DMV for TWO FREAKIN' HOURS! I'm gonna go have some wine now and paaaar-tay!!

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

what do you talk about with people IRL, trife?

oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:35 (twenty-two years ago)

"There is nothing to say about anything. Therefore there is no limit to the number of books that can be written."

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Oops I think it's really important to stay positive, negativity really gets me down in the dumps sometimes. I guess I wouldn't say I'm *religious*, but I'm definately a really spiritual person.

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

trife i'm sorry i'm not minna enough for you to respond to my question

the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Richard, you look just like Pierce Brosnan when you smile!

kirsten (kirsten), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

dont have to read many thread to see theyre all identially overrun with homogenous bullshit

I think to arrive at that conclusion you would need to specifically read a very limited number of threads.

I thought this was going to be a Martha Stewart thread!

Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Trife is the guy in the corner who doesn't fit in (that's a good thing) and therefore feels the need to mock and look down on everyone else. Talk about same old shit that's been done a million times before...

oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Trife probably would get along with us very well should he stop attacking people. Even if you don't like the way people behave, that's no real reason to attack and belittle them. (especially on an Internet forum!)

Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh hey ESOJ, I work in an accounting office of a web design firm. It's a stupid job sometimes but it's OK, like I always say, you don't have to be crazy to work there-- but it helps!! what do you do, ESOJ??

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Oops, did you study Psychology too? I just loooove Psychology, finding out how people work!! Sigmond Freud said sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but I think in your case he probably meant a 11" Cuban one!!

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

trife (just in case you actually wanted to know): i do QA for bank software. it's something i'm reasonably humourless about (in addition to everything else)

the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't understand why you're still here at all. We're all a bunch of mundane morons with subconscious prejudices. Isn't there a better--more beneficial to you and the rest of us--way to use your time? Can you not understand that not everyone is like you or wants to be?

oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:47 (twenty-two years ago)

aw, thanks, kirsten!!

you know, you look just like audrey hepburn when I smile!!!

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Oops I've decided to give up my old, bitter ways, and become part of ILE. I'm still allowed to be bitter about the DMV though, right? And those damned kids today!

trife (simon_tr), Thursday, 18 September 2003 00:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't understand the emotional investment people put into disliking this forum. Liking it, okay, I've never got into it to that extent but I understand that you can make wonderful friends online. Disliking it...why bother CARING?

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 18 September 2003 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

This link is perfect for this thread.

Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 18 September 2003 01:17 (twenty-two years ago)

trife, you seem to suffer from the delusion that the more common an experience is, the lower it's value.
"haha! Other people have talked about this before. You guys are such morons for discussing it!!! You should check out this mix of Crizzy rap I made instead!!! Oh, by the way, I picked up on the inherent racism of what you guys are saying even though it doesn't exist outside of my own mind!!!"

oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 September 2003 01:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally,

THAT'S A GOOD THING!

I don't think you look like Moon Unit Zappa :) That's why I used it.

Now boys and girls, you seem to have lost the point of this thread. Try to focus and get back to your charming (if hysterical) little squabble with tripe, or whatever his name is, who started the whole thing. Why you're acting like a pack of white ring tailed gibbons! Oh, my, imagine that!

sterling clover knows about critical theorists and likes pop music and i don't know if he likes indie rock. i don't know much about him. i read his website before but it's very, very hard to understand and i checked it again a few times and he hadn't updated it.

i would give him: 8/10.


s trife is, i think, from athens, georgia, where r.e.m. is from and everyone likes indie rock and he likes the linkin park remix album and he bought a bee shirt like an indie rocker would wear and he reviewed an eminem cd for pitchforkmedia, an indie rocker website. he once told me that rap-rock sincerity was the new faux-naif. he e-mailed me once and asked if i had AIM and he told me to get it. but i don't know what the whole thing was all about. i thought it was cool that he e-mailed me but we never talked after that.

i would give him: 9/10.


jess is from the east coast, i think, and wrote about dj sammy in the village voice, which is a magazine or a newspaper in new york city, and he has a girlfriend named nancy. he didn't like indie rock for a while but then he started to like it again. he thought 'satisfaction' was the best hip-hop single of the year. he's always saying how bad ilm is. i don't know how to react to that.

i would give him: 6/10.
