This is the thread where we post nonsense phrases and then everyone else describes what images, ideas, memories, etc. these nonsense phrases evoke to each of us.

I'll start things off with a random phrase that jumped into my head:
"jazz factory"

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

"Jazz factory" is the cacophony you get on at a busy intersection.

Oops, drop the "on" from my above post.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, I'll try a new one:

"drama sandwich"

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Drama sandwich seems like a kind of gross euphemism for a very tense love triangle.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 21 September 2004 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks to Milwaukee's Best beer, dubbed "Beast" by college students everywhere, I imagine "world class beast" as a very highly rated yet outrageously cheap beer.

I just had an epiphany: this thread was destined to fail because it comes too close to the essence of ILE. 75% of what we post about on other threads are about unrelated associations with the topic at hand, but I guess doing so out of context just didn't excite the collective imagination.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Or maybe it was just a shit idea.
