Greatest news story ever.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

"All rise!" And so on.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

"habeus bonheur"
"vive la litigatienne"
"motion in the court"

Then there was the judge who delivered a rap in the decision on the Eminem case the other day...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 00:54 (twenty-two years ago)

A rap, you say.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

What a fantastic news story!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

When did "fantastic" become a synonym for "creepy"?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I meant from the pov that it is not your 'average' news story.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

did you? or are you happy cos you've got jury duty next week and are hoping for a free show? PERVO

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

"Um, your Honor? Aren't you going to ask me how I plead?"
"Mmm, yeah... How do you plead baby? C'mon, tell me; HOW DO YOU PLEAD? Oooh..."
"... Not guilty?"
"OH YEAH!"

(Apologies to everyone to accidentally quoting the Kool-Aid man in a masturbation joke.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Steve, I've already done jury duty & there was none of that! I get my kicks elsewhere, do not call me a pervo!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

the Kool-Aid man in a masturbation joke

No wonder he's always smiling.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I get my kicks elsewhere

"Ma'am, do you know how fast you were going?"
"Mmmmm... No officer, but I'm almost there... TELL ME I'M A BAD GIRL."

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

How embarassing, how'd you know?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

it was on Britain's Dumbest Motoring Masturbatory Mishaps, with Alistair Stewart

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

French press in modesty shockah
One of the paper's reporters saw the judge
"making unambiguous gestures after discretely
lifting his judicial robe and opening his trousers."

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I like thinking that the judge lifted his judicial robe, undid his trousers and started doing the cabbage patch.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the cabbage patch might be an ambiguous gesture.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Whereas the Running Man leaves little room for doubt.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

The best thing is that I originally wrote running man but thought, "Nah, people will say that's too ambiguous" and changed it to the cabbage patch.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I find that swaying woman in the adjacent advert very distracting. Not in a making unambiguous gestures after discretely lifting my judicial robe and opening my trousers way, though.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

if you lift yr robe discretely, how does that affect the ambiguity of your gesture?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I find this thread so disappointing. The set-up was so great, but the results were meagre.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i'd like to see you do better ~~than the judge~~

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Erec..er, objection, your honour!*

*weak and obvious, I know

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I find this thread so disappointing. The set-up was so great, but the results were meagre.

Was this actually supposed to be a wanking joke?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Isn't everything on ILX a wanking joke?

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

wanking, khakis..take your pick

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, they don't call 'em freedom fries for nothing!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Perry actually apologising for masturbation? Damn, but you're getting soft (and before any of you start, I know what I said).

Darnielle, best story ever! No wonder you can only see their socks.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 23:13 (twenty-two years ago)

twenty-two years pass...

It's kinda funny how "ooh la la!" is viewed as an expression of sauciness, like something Maurice Chevalier says as he's oggling some beauty. But then once you start knowing actual French people it is actually mostly used as an expression of frustration, like "we have to get all these shopping bags up the stairs? ooh la la!"

This kept appearing in a recent trailer, but now I can't recall the movie:

^^^^ that's an odd number, written by Ronnie Lane but sung by Ronnie Wood

― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 10 December 2025 19:06 (three months ago)

Yes. And then later sung by Ronnie Lane and also Rod Stewart. Just found this, OMG!

― Nicholas Raybeat (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 10 December 2025 19:11 (three months ago)

I mean "ooh la la!" In whatever sense of the term you want.

― Nicholas Raybeat (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 10 December 2025 19:11 (three months ago)

Bonus points for it being from a Spanish-speaking Corrs fan.

― Nicholas Raybeat (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 10 December 2025 19:14 (three months ago)

¡Qué rico!
