Dud.

Can I delete this?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 24 October 2003 05:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Or I could just vote classic, couldn't I

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 24 October 2003 05:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I met Ned one time, and I give him a great big Classic. So there.

― Minty (Minty), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:02 (twenty-one years ago)

He's no chick, that's true

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't let the hair fool ya.

― Leee (Leee), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Cos one time...

― Leee (Leee), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:08 (twenty-one years ago)

...at band camp...

― Leee (Leee), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned's anti-sideburns = dud. I was worried they'd come into contact with my bugger's grips during some manly hug or other and three quarters of London would be annihilated. Fortunately we just shook hands.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned R: Classic.

This thread: dud.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Absolute Classic.

I don't think this thread is a Dud, because it allows us to express our love for Ned. Go Ned! (queue cheerleaders)

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Uber Classic.

Ned was the first person to welcome me onto ILM and invite me over to ILE and onto ILX chats. Friendly and open to all he's the ILX Welcome Wagon.

(now Dan, you wouldn't be mean to Ned would you?)

― H (Heruy), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:47 (twenty-one years ago)

True, `drew, but I was speaking more towards the apparent mean-spiritedness of it.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned is the backbone of ILX. Without him half the internet just would not run!

Therefore he is classic, sideburns or not. Also, the phrase "fart cave" springs to mind. ;-)

― kate (kate), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I meant 'cue cheerleaders', but you knew that already.

True, `drew, but I was speaking more towards the apparent mean-spiritedness of it.

As you can probably guess, I'm trying to subvert the initial meany's thread into a thread of Ned-love.

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 24 October 2003 06:57 (twenty-one years ago)

ned is the nicest person in the world. *gives ned a great big huge hug*. if that makes me twee, then TWEE ME UP!!

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 24 October 2003 07:01 (twenty-one years ago)

ned rules!!

― geeta (geeta), Friday, 24 October 2003 07:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Dud for thinking LA burritos are superior to SF's.

― Sean (Sean), Friday, 24 October 2003 07:10 (twenty-one years ago)

finally. a thread i can post to with no reservation.

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Friday, 24 October 2003 07:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i didn't get to talk to ned enuff when he wz in london :(

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 24 October 2003 07:20 (twenty-one years ago)

....classic!

(d'oh, i always get inserted wrong)

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Friday, 24 October 2003 07:21 (twenty-one years ago)

You should have come to Southall with us, Mark. But then again, you might have ended up bannished to the Fart Cave as well.

― kate (kate), Friday, 24 October 2003 07:21 (twenty-one years ago)

What the? He is the Classic Dude!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 24 October 2003 07:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I got free stuff from Ned, and so cannot give an impartial opinion.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 24 October 2003 08:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Classic.

― Schmandrew Schmarrell (afarrell), Friday, 24 October 2003 08:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i like ned, but as far as sideburns go there can be only one

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 24 October 2003 08:46 (twenty-one years ago)

he's a thoroughly good chap (I like also how this thread hasn't evolved into outrage at the first poster - just lots of nice things about Ned).

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 24 October 2003 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Dud.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 24 October 2003 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Erm, I mean classic.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 24 October 2003 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Clud.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 24 October 2003 08:49 (twenty-one years ago)

:-)

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 24 October 2003 08:53 (twenty-one years ago)

this thread is ridiculous. Ned is certainly classic.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 24 October 2003 10:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I nearly got angry but hey what's the point, Ned obviously rules.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 24 October 2003 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned is totally classy and indeed classic.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned is a sweetheart and a half! So he's a total classic! Rah!

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:28 (twenty-one years ago)

He sent me a CD and the note with it was written on the back of a library record card. Classic.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:41 (twenty-one years ago)

which library records release was it?!?!?

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:42 (twenty-one years ago)

ned was oddly subdued when i met him.

― mohammed abba (dubplatestyle), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:43 (twenty-one years ago)

my disco inferno cd came with a library card about the life of the frog.

― mohammed abba (dubplatestyle), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Man, I got no library card. I feel robbed. Then again, I got no tracklisting at all, so I guess it's only natural.

― kate (kate), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i seem to have misplaced my DI EPs CDR

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned was the first person to welcome me to ILX. He is a legend.

― C J (C J), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I was subdued because you've got more energy than you realize, Mr. Jess!

To all -- thanks and *many blushes.* As a good number of you folks know, I am apt, perhaps all too apt, to reflect on downsides and mistakes, and parts of me I'm not all that fond of. Many of you have gone a long way to help me realize that I've done some good in this nutty world. So thanks. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:48 (twenty-one years ago)

well i was high on meth, ned

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:51 (twenty-one years ago)

i want my library card to go with the di eps! neds a bad man, he shows favouritism!

(luv ya ned)

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 24 October 2003 11:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned is great because he is my Internet twin.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 24 October 2003 12:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned would be classic if he posted those damn photos of me! Wah!

Who the hell is Molly Lambert? Should I know her? I know the others on that list.

― one pretty obvious guy in the obvious (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:49 (fourteen years ago)

The writer missed out "People who write long articles on the internet in order to look down on others and inflate their own egos".

― Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:52 (fourteen years ago)

Molly added me on flickr a few years ago and her pics are pretty lol. That's all I know.

go ned!

― dj plain ole m@tt (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:58 (fourteen years ago)

What..what the hell.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:58 (fourteen years ago)

Everyone writing a piece for this must not have known what the others were saying, OR, they all really like pointing out that moms and dads now have 'puters.

― Stop Non-Erotic Cabaret (Abbbottt), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 19:00 (fourteen years ago)

She writes for Pitchfork, I believe.

― Tyler/Perry's "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" (jaymc), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 19:03 (fourteen years ago)

This calls for a celebratory badge featuring a picture of Ned for all ilxors!

― StanM, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 19:13 (fourteen years ago)

I am currently in "Just take the compliment" mode.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 19:21 (fourteen years ago)

xp another one?

― Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 19:21 (fourteen years ago)

FWIW. Then again I also wanted an excuse to post Crudderz' photoshop at the end.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 January 2011 18:13 (fourteen years ago)

Given some of the foolish folderol out there now anyway, who’d want to read the whole thing unless one has endless patience for, say, illiterate YouTube comments.

bite your tongue, sir. i can't believe you.

― dell (del), Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:04 (fourteen years ago)

i'm only thirteen years old and i love these youtube comments

why are youtube comments going unread while meanwhile trash like lady haha and kanye mess twitter feeds are the sheeple's staple?!

― dell (del), Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:06 (fourteen years ago)

Seeing this word is helpful because it automatically clues me in on how brilliant and free-thinking this person must be!

― one pretty obvious guy in the obvious (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:08 (fourteen years ago)

imagine how brilliant the comments are that don't fit into the box provided by big media

just think about it

Lordy.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:30 (fourteen years ago)

Will there be a parade?

― VegemiteGrrrl, Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:37 (fourteen years ago)

Like the ticker-tape parade at the end of Doc Savage? Except the song could have the lyrics changed to "have no fear, Ned Raggett is here".

― Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:39 (fourteen years ago)

I was picturing something like the parade in Animal House with floats and marching bands and baton twirlers

― VegemiteGrrrl, Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:40 (fourteen years ago)

Or the parade in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' - with Ned jumping on a float, grabbing a mic: "I'd like to dedicate this song to a certain ILXor who doesn't think they've seen anything good today..."

― Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:43 (fourteen years ago)

thinking more like the scene near the end of 'ten commandments'

goaded by edward g. robinson, there is a bacchanalia of ilxors worshiping cheap shoegaze ripoffs

ned comes down from mt. sinai and says 'heavens!'

― mookieproof, Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:45 (fourteen years ago)

hahah

― VegemiteGrrrl, Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:47 (fourteen years ago)

Could happen.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:50 (fourteen years ago)

Could? Boo.

― VegemiteGrrrl, Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:51 (fourteen years ago)

Well, anything's possible, really.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:51 (fourteen years ago)

Like Charlton Heston at the end of 'Soylent Green':
Ned: "ILX... is people!" <crowd riots>

― Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Thursday, 20 January 2011 19:52 (fourteen years ago)

Whe United Servo Academy Men's Chorus will be in attendance, right Ned?

Well yes. Never a doubt about that!

Someone should bake a pi.

ned as benevolent fascist is ok in my book. (my coffeetable book that's in the shape of franco's chin)

― dell (del), Thursday, 20 January 2011 21:30 (fourteen years ago)

six months pass...

I wonder if Ned's dad and Mike Watt's dad were ever pals or served on the same boat or whatever.

― L.P. Hovercraft (WmC), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 02:24 (fourteen years ago)

Given where Watt says his dad was stationed over the years, no; also my dad was sub service for most of his career where Watt's dad was surface fleet from the sound of it. Watt's dad served a while on the Enterprise so it's entirely possible he and my dad served as part of a large WESTPAC exercise or deployment but that would have been the very distant extent of it. When it comes to friendship, my dad's friends in the service were kinda by default his fellow commissioned officers.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 10 August 2011 12:54 (fourteen years ago)

heh...my idle thought last night was very much in the "oh, you're from NYC, a city of several million people? You probably know my pal Eddie" vein of cluelessness.

― L.P. Hovercraft (WmC), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 12:59 (fourteen years ago)

After the first time I went to Germany, one of my high school classmates excitedly asked me if I'd met Boris Becker. I hadn't.

― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 13:34 (fourteen years ago)

And you have nobody to blame but yourself for that. Perhaps.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 10 August 2011 13:37 (fourteen years ago)

DUD

Hahah

two years pass...

is there a name for the feeling when you think you stumbled onto a new thing or a new person or whatever and then to your chagrin you discover ned raggett has already been there, written a review of the thing, knows the person, and you wonder vainly if there remains a part of the world that is unraggetted

This site estimates my age somewhere in the early 40s, which is technically accurate, but frankly I'm still offended.

Ned, can I have Heather Phares' phone number? Why? Because her AMG reviews look interesting.

Ahhh. Lol. Kidding. I've been reading both of your reviews for 10 or 15 years or something. I'd honestly love to chill with Heather though, and smoke some smokes, listen to early His Name Is Alive with her (which she seemed a fan of), and reminisce on our times at U-M (she graduated long before I went there, though).

Why doesn't she post here?

Or, Stephen Erlewine, for that matter?

― monster mash, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 18:15 (nine years ago)

Never forget:

apparently ned raggett has won the internet?
