ilx-as-lunchroom: who sits together?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

this is meant to be a happy fun thread, i promise. not really about the popular vs. unpopular kids, rather just a look at the different clusters of friends here and what overarching things bring them together. let's establish that there's a "noise" table and a "tittwis" table and a "region-specific friendships" table and move on from there.

(by the way, i can smell the obvious parody thread from a mile away, so don't try it.)

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:05 (twenty years ago)

I would go sit with JBR but only to trade snacks.

― I'm Hi, Jared Fogle (ex machina), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:06 (twenty years ago)

what kind of snacks?

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:07 (twenty years ago)

With whomever'd buy me a pint

Gee, wonder what kind of parody thread you had in mind?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:09 (twenty years ago)

can we bring our stuffed animals and have tea?

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:10 (twenty years ago)

this is brought on by me realizing that my threads always seem to attract the same couple of people, some of whom i don't particularly talk to much off-board, but who always seem to click on the "jbr" threads (and vice-versa).

who would be the kid who eats his own boogers or milk cartons?

Dan, Donut and I discuss Wax Trax intensely in the corner...

Chicago ILXors would sit at one table and throw over-dressed hot dogs at NY ILXors.

― pullapartgirl (pullapartgirl), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

I believe you mean to say 'wonderful perfect hot dogs'

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:18 (twenty years ago)

Explain "tittwis", pls?

― Laurel, Monday, 15 August 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

Chicago ILXors would sit at one table and throw over-dressed hot dogs at NY ILXors.

nyc ilxors would miss their attacks because they'd be over in jersey eating rippers:

I am a fan.

― pullapartgirl (pullapartgirl), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

Ahh, thanks. May I suggest a formerly-of-Sinister table? Or one end of a table? Because I've met a few people at FAPs over the years who I'd be reasonably sure of, but first I'd surreptitiously look for T1m Popkins, Marianna, Greggel Puzzleworth, Stevie Tr0users, et al so I'd be sure of a warm welcome.

After a few days I'm sure I'd branch out but you know, that first trip from lunch line to table is like walking the fucking plank.

― Laurel, Monday, 15 August 2005 23:27 (twenty years ago)

Dan, Donut and I discuss Wax Trax intensely in the corner...

I will visit your table once the I Love Baseball folk decide we need a break from talking about baseball.

Fortunately, the release of the new Depeche Mode album roughly corresponds with the end of the baseball season.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps not too surprisingly, I'd be the kid who brings a bag lunch from home, climbs a tree during lunch break, and eats lunch up there.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:32 (twenty years ago)

Not too surprisingly, I did this through most of elementary and junior high school

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

i do the exact same thing that i did in high school. move from table to table at will. i am a regular good-time charlie.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

I always went home for my lunch, so um... hrm :(

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

greggel puzzleworth! hah!!

A year and a half later, I'm still table-hopping.

Who would be lunch monitor?

― M. V. (M.V.), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:05 (twenty years ago)

I'm sitting with Mandee and dahlin and whoever else they invite.

Who would be lunch monitor?

Me, apparently, ah ha har < /sarcasm >

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:15 (twenty years ago)

I would be the kid at the Wax Trax table who doesn't say anything (occasionally trying to start up a round of footsie with Dan, getting only weird looks in return)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:19 (twenty years ago)

Foxiest monitor evar!

*sporks back to I Love Comics table*

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:21 (twenty years ago)

I would read a book during lunch and ignore everyone.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

you'll find me in the art room nursing a pot buzz with a mountain dew. see the headphones? go away. ive got a life size zippy the pinhead bust to carve before semester ends

― kephm (kephm), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:25 (twenty years ago)

i'd be flirting with the film-school wannabes and stealing their berets.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:27 (twenty years ago)

much like real HS, fuck you all i'm going to taco bell and then drinking rum in the parking lot

― strng hlkngtn, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:32 (twenty years ago)

my high school didn't have a parking lot and you had to get past the security guards if you wanted to leave the building

― GARU G, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

nothing?

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

I have a feeling I'd be at a table with Jordan and k/l.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:36 (twenty years ago)

That's exactly what I was going to say.

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:37 (twenty years ago)

i agree with scott.
when i first came here i'd be
at jody's table

then i roamed around
but now i'd jock out with my
ilbb homes

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:39 (twenty years ago)

if i ask you to come to the candy machine with me and treat you it is likely i want to get high/drunk/naked with you. follow my lead baby. go with the plain m&m's

― kephm (kephm), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:42 (twenty years ago)

I think once and a while I'd go over and try to chat with the region-specific Chicago table. The London table I'd listen in on, but I wouldn't go over there until I had some kind of introduction or in.

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

And of course I'd want to know what was going on at the Wokingham table.

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:47 (twenty years ago)

I would read a book during lunch and ignore everyone.

-- Leon C. (nicole.kessle...), August 16th, 2005.

that would be me too! it would be some godawful 'aliens' tie-in novel though.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:52 (twenty years ago)

if this was ILX middle school/junior high/whatever the non-us equivalents are, i mean.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:54 (twenty years ago)

in junior high school i ate lunch in the music room with the other dorks who spent their lunch down there.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:59 (twenty years ago)

My table was all like nerdy smartass Rush fans. So I guess a lot of ILX would qualify...

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 01:01 (twenty years ago)

Me and the other mongrels would probably be in a corner somewhere, whining about stuff and hating on the football. And being drunk. Or somehting.

(nb I did not drink in high school!)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 01:05 (twenty years ago)

still do as i did: saving lunch money to buy recs, gazing at hopeless crushes, avoiding one with crush on me, fine though she be (good way to lose weight though, which paid off re college hookups)

― don, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 01:17 (twenty years ago)

I forgot to bring lunch again, so I'm just gonna go sit underneath the bleachers and cry.

This thread has reminded me how much I miss those lunch time hack sessions.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:59 (twenty years ago)

we tried hacking during lunch but a faculty member saw that some students were having fun while doing something that wasn't curriculum-related and promptly put a stop to it.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Did I ever tell the story about the hairy-chested pottery teacher who never got up out of her rolly chair who confiscated my friend Josh's sack and, when he asked for it back a week later, she pulled it out of her CLEAVAGE?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

i hope he threw it away. because, you know, the hairs that got stuck to it would throw off its aerodynamics.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:10 (twenty years ago)

after that y'all should've tried to get various objects confiscated and see which found a home in her bosom. sandwiches, pocketknives, a table saw, etc.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:12 (twenty years ago)

Once the same Josh asked her for change for a dollar for the payphone and she - I shit thee not - reached into her shirt, paused, and asked him "FOUR QUARTERS?".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

Despite all this disgustingness, she was one of my favorite teachers ever.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:14 (twenty years ago)

This thread has reminded me how much I miss those lunch time hack sessions.

Yes. I supposed I'd look stupid doing this now.

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

Oops, did we ever sit at the same table at lunch? I think maybe briefly freshman year?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

mayyybe. I remember first semester that year totally sucked, cause I didn't have any real friends who had the same lunch period and was forced to sit with Chris Mart/n and Brian B3rkery whom I knew only from Humphrey band. Almost every lunch was one big awkward pause.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

lunch-time hacking was great, if unutterably sad. You got lunch passes to skip the queues and used that time to plot how to distract the CSYS student who had admin passwords. While he was away, you used to his sign-on to get up to all sorts of goodies. Then you invariably were yanked out of your post-lunch class and carpeted. again.

thank god for discovering girls.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 20:34 (twenty years ago)

wait a sec. oops and jaymc went to highschool together?

wow, i'd be mortified if someone from greeley central high showed up on ILX.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

yes we did. it was quite coincidental that both of us showed up here, and around the same time, i believe. i hadn't actually seen or talked to him since graduation.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

you kept that quiet

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

kept what quiet?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

that we went to high school together? this has been discussed on like a dozen threads.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

I think RJG was referring to the way you guys hushed up the scandal surrounding your love child that you put up for adoption.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

this is the thread where I say 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 15, 17, 20, 27, 28, 30 and 34, I suppose

rjg, i don't even think i looked at tittwis until sometime in the twenties.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

i mean, i'm not saying i discuss this amazing factoid all the time, but i haven't "kept it quiet."

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 21:59 (twenty years ago)

you are friends with oops

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

i wouldn't say that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 22:01 (twenty years ago)

poor oops

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 22:01 (twenty years ago)

haha well i like oops. i'm just saying we weren't really friends in high school, we had classes together but didn't really associate with the same crowd.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 22:02 (twenty years ago)

Well, I'd be sitting with Dan Perry and Subgenius, for starters...Hastings High School ILX reunion!

Unlike our actual reunion, participants are encouraged to keep their pants ON. Which means Jeff can't come.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 22:23 (twenty years ago)

i'll hop in my le baron and drive with roxy to the hardee's out by Route 14.

John, you know that giboyeux is also from Hastings?????? WAY past our time, but still!

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:07 (twenty years ago)

I'd be posed in silohuette against a curtained window with a bowler hat and abalone-handled cane in a fashion I thought was poetic and tragic but was, in actuality, only k-lame.

(PS: I did this f'real).

― Remy (x Jeremy), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

Evidently I'll be sitting by myself, lighting cartons of milk on fire and lobbing them at other tables.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 18 August 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

Alex, you will almost certainly be sitting with the Hastings Massif.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 18 August 2005 22:34 (twenty years ago)

If it weren't for the gay school janitors, I'd venture to suggest that luna gets wild with other peers in the custodial closet.

― Ian Riese-Moraine: a casualty of social estrangement. (Eastern Mantra), Thursday, 18 August 2005 23:23 (twenty years ago)

"Alex, you will almost certainly be sitting with the Hastings Massif."

That's some sort of dog, right?

I'll be nearby, sitting with the Bull Massif.

I'd be the freaky foreigner sitting in the corner.
Is dit plaatsje vrij? Mag ik er bij komen zitten? :)

Of course! One of the great things of being a freaky foreigner: you can mock the others and they won't understand you. *bwahaha*. ;-)
