― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Am I evil for laughing at that?

(I am so proud of myself right now.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

okay, banners, but what word or words would you put before the banners?

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

pennants, fuckwads.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

snoop dogg concert review:
The unmistakable haze of marijuana smoke hangs in the arena as pervasively as division champion banners.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I think 'your mamma' still works.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

ON THE CORNER!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

note to editor: sorry my snoop review is late, a-holes on ILX decided to make with the funny.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I think that "darkie banners" would work a treat in that review (assuming of course that the end goal is to catch as many bullets in your ass as humanly possible).

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm actually trying to work out a funny race-based joke (but am 85% sure I'll abandon it) because our hometown football team's colours are green and white and, like, that's exactly how I would describe the audience. But, y'know...

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Darkie Banners sounds like a Hulk spin-off secret identity.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

No, it would be an alternate universe Hulk that takes place in the Reconstruction-era South.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

HULK SMASH SEGREGATION!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

The unmistakable haze of marijuana smoke hangs in the arena as pervasively as division champion banners.

What about this:

An unmistakable haze hangs in the arena, as unavoidable as championship banners hanging from the rafters of (insert name of the Lakers' arena here).

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

haha dan this thread is brill.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 03:05 (twenty-one years ago)

darkie banners screwed and chopped feat. "HULK SMASH '22s" and "Like a Pimp feat. Lil Flip"

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 03:07 (twenty-one years ago)

i understand not a word spoken here

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

That's probably for the best.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 05:31 (twenty-one years ago)

They're bats. And so are you.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 05:32 (twenty-one years ago)

ach!
so my review ran, and I just returned from lunch to find a voicemail from the promoter, who is disappointed at how negatively I portrayed hip hop.
Which I don't necessarily think I did. I think I had a little fun at his expense, though. But, cripes, I tore the piss out of George Jones for the same sort of thing.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Fuckin' George Jones.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Where can we see the review?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

it is hanging from the rafters

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

hmmm, it's not up on the website.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

they're not "champion banners" because then the banners themselves would be champions, you wanted to say "championship banners"

and neither of those words is as cool as "bunting" but hey

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I did say "championship banners" in print.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

(This thread makes me feel extremely self-satisfied.)

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 23:20 (twenty years ago)

Wow. That's as brilliantly off-colour as when I was around a bunch of Jewish girls at Mascara Lawrence College and one of them asked me whether or not I was Jewish. Upon finding out that I'm devoid of spirituality, she said, "Oh. I guess you're not a member of the pure race, then!"

Is that a challenge, Dan?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:03 (nineteen years ago)
