Not really classick or dud, just typical.

An artform at points. Sadly, not all its practitioners are Rothkos.

What does that mean?

It's how some people make themselves feel like they've won an argument. Just let them do it, point out they're fuckwads, and go on.

Done seriously: dud. Done on ILE: classiXoR!

Done to make things sound rilly dirty: Super Classic!

Ally's wallet now contains 'a squirting few fucks and about $60.'

Yeah. Seconding that dirty thing.

― Kim, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That's really disturbing.

Insisting that everything you've said must me considered in its full context = boring

And rockist.

Whenever I come across reference to Arab "anti-Semitism," I'm forced to chuckle... - nitsuh

― ethan, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You should have lost "reference to Arab" That'd been more sinister.

And yeah, the destruction of New York sounds like a FANTASTIC idea and I'd flip the switch. I'd save my friends first, though, no reason they should suffer. ;-)

(i just want to note that i alerted ethan to this but i don't have padgett's lust for controversy so i didn't post anything about them. it's from a stephin merrit thread where ally brings up the subject of destroying ny.)

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, but I still wouldn't want my friends to suffer, would I? No I would not.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I wish my life was so sad that I could spend my time searching thru old threads for things people said that would sound bad out of context. Alas, I have better things to do, like dye my hair or something.

Embarrassing things done while stoned? Well, once I got really high with this kid from my little brother's class (he's like 13, I think), and we made out for a while. Oops.

POINT NUMBER ONE: I was just researching the Magnetic Fields because I'd never heard them and was wondering where to start and I found those quotes. I shouldn't have taken "credit" for finding them. BTW: you're right Pinefox, "The Book of Love" is quite wonderful.

POINT NUMBER TWO: Yeah, well, I *was* stoned.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

shut up you loser and, like, get a life or something!

― ethan, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The statement wasn't directed towards you, Mitch.

― Ally, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Billy would never have talked to me like that. That reminds me, I really should call the little fucker up. He's in what, Seventh Grade now? That's legal, innit? Eh, who cares! What a great lay!

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oops! Colour me doubly embarrassed!

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

we can only wonder who it was directed at, then!

― ethan, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

pretty much every paragraph here is a gem out of context (and sometimes in context too):
