ASK ME ANYTHING RE: The History of ILX

why does kanye west say "we want hen fap" in 'gold digger'?

Because he wanted hen fap.

Who were the five guys who were in love with Luna?

That would be mean to answer.

Great thread

What is the thirty-nine steps?

The five guys answer was emailed to you. Thanks, Dom. You're a great poster and a important part of THE HISTORY OF ILX. ;-)

The Thirty-nine Steps is an adventure novel by the Scottish author John Buchan, first published in 1915 by William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh. It is the first of five novels featuring Richard Hannay, an all-action hero with a stiff upper lip and a miraculous habit of getting himself out of sticky situations.

The novel formed the basis for a number of film adaptations, notably Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 adaptation The 39 Steps, a 1959 colour remake and a more authentic 1978 version.

Why was "Can't Hardly Wait" kept off _Tim_, re-recorded, and stuck on the next album instead?

Which much-loved ILXors have their own "BAN ________" threads?

Kingfish: Your question has nothing to do with ILX.

NV: You question can be answered by simply using the SEARCH link at the top of this page.

If you know everything about ILX how come you don't know the search function sucks?

and the internet

*ahem*

I had no problem finding the "BAN_____" threads using the sucky search function though, NV.

what was the first thread on ilx?

i know!

I think it "Songs about quitting your job" but please correct me if I am wrong, DG.

it was like 'welcome to ile' or something but i can't find it

second was 'you and your blog'

"Correct me if I am wrong"? whatta lolthority

ILM was before ILE so it couldn't have been "Welcome to ILE."

I thought it was something about indie rock, an response to an FT article by Tom. I feel somewhat sure that it wasn't "songs about quitting your job" but I could be wrong.

3xpost

i win

which current posters are sockpuppets, and by whom?

This is older: Indie Rock: What's Going On?

I have no way of knowing that, mookieproof.

bang-up job so far mr ilx.

I know.

Dear Mr. ILX,

Hi chaki.

Huh, actually this was started the same time as the indie one: Songs About Quitting Your Job?

Who was the first sock-puppet to be outed?

Hi, Mr. Que. I am not Chaki. I am not a fan.

the indie rock and ^^^ threads are from ILM!

Please list every band, person, concept or thing that has inspired a C/D thread.

what was the first thread on ilx?

meh, ILE is ILX as far as i'm concerned

how come "ilx system" is always so high on the top posters of the month statistics, when actualy you almost don't see posts by it?

That kind of thinking is the reason you were ousted from ILX ADMIN, DG.

Zeno: ILX System's posts can be views in any POLL thread.

That kind of thinking is the reason you were ousted from ILX ADMIN, DG.

bah! i got ousted because i made stet cry on that richard hammond thread

Sir Tom D’Voidoffunk

(Sorry, couldn’t resist)

BTW, is that where fremme nette came from? Never knew, ta.

I believe FNV was Dan's interpretation of the mysterious phrase in Work It

Childish, but... is there any way to read the original b4angbvs thread, the one that was mostly one porno guy debating himself with dozens of sockpuppet accounts as to whether said bus/scenario were 'real'?

xp - the dude on the left in that picture looks a lot like someone who lived across the hall from me in college and was in some of my classes lol

You went to college with John Turturro?

Sarah, I wasn't trying to be a jerk about it. I just thought it was funny.

whom amongst us has not scoured an old thread before making a new post in it to make sure it's not a repeat of a post from years ago

i do a lot less thread scouring nowadays

sarahell i've just emailed you at the link on your user page!

fwiw i have no recollection of that jaymc exchange either

Ha, well, I forgot it, too -- but after seeing sarahell's post about "E.S." today, I did a quick Google and turned up the CV again.

please don't doxx ebenezer scrooge he's been through enough

If I had to search for threads to avoid repeating myself on here I'd never get anything posted. Its ok tho I have sic to point out when I double up.

ah, I meant just on the same thread with a ctrl+f

I'm still committed to putting the same set of comments on all threads

I was just taking the p out of meself anyway :)
