Did he leave for some reason, or is he just taking a break from this?
I just noticed that he's been missing for a while now. Thanks.

I think he just got bored/tired. There's only so much you can say if you're not willing to change.

He was chased out of town by villagers wielding torches and pitchforks, shouting "Kill the monster! Kill the monster!" He then accidently killed the little girl and the blind man who were only trying to be his friend. He was last seen in the Arctic tundra.

God I hated that book at A level.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

What book?

― NA. (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thread sidetrack of the year already.

Assassinated by agents of the Rhythm Nation.

It was all a metaphor, wasn't it?

Maybe Geir is just a metaphor for the most irrational, unchanging, unbending, trogdolyte aspects of the ILM music fan...

how much abuse can a dude be expected to take? I mean, other than Calum.

Fucking wanky miss teenager with her crazy doctor and his 1 dimensional sister and his thing made of dead peeps.

He is working on his new cologne for men.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

we're risking a summons here people.

I kinda liked Geir, inspite of his intense Hongroness.

― Davlo (Davlo), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, geoff, you're getting Calum and Geir confused again.

― NA. (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

i've seen him hanging out at Friendster.com

― JasonD (JasonD), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

again?

He is working on his new cologne for men.

Perfectly manicured woman's hand delicately unbuttons the denim shirt of a hairy chested male model to the harmonically and melodically complex strains of the "actually very brilliant" Dodgy. Cue gravel-voiced American:

"If it's good enough for you...

HONGRO - FOR MEN"

Geir for men!

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

well blast me (reckon a cologne called Hongro would be funnier but, damn, your one actually exists!)

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

"You reek of Geir!"

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

As a little boy, Geir’s mother would take him up into the mountains of Norway where they would listen to Tales Of Topographic Oceans by Yes. Even as a child, he was so taken by the complex harmony and melody of that experience.

Feel the Power of Norway! From the creator and designer of some of the most intractably bizarre musical theory ever encountered on ilx, Geir Hongro introduces his first Norwegian fragrance for men, GEIR The Power of Norway. GEIR Eau de Parfum for men captures the crisp Norwegian mountains... blended to the sounds of Toploader, Britpop and other "real European music" Hongro creates this harmonic, melodic and actually very brilliant scent. Available in two sizes 50ml and 100ml.

i am really glad he's gone. good riddance.

― amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 5 June 2003 15:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Maybe he was just a figment of our collective unconsciousness. (scary thought)

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Id = Calum
Ego = Custos
Superego = Geir

haha!

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

anybody want to assign "Jungian Archetypes" to the membership of ILM?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thank you, Geir, for teaching us about life, and love, again.

― jm (jtm), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Geir seemed to excite pricky tendencies on the part of many ILX posters. Maybe he got tired of rudeness and went away.

Perhaps there is a polite version of ILX somewhere on which Gail and Geir have flirtatious discussions of the merits of Chris De Burgh.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

MAYBE HE IS DEAD. DID YOU STOP AND THINK ABOUT THAT?

― jm (jtm), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

I believe it was the almighty dave q who challenged Geir to "say something that isn't boring and stupid or fuck off." Perhaps Geir, realizing the impossibility of his assigned task, skulked away with tail between legs.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

i hope this isn't like the calm before the storm in some horror movie where just as we're celebrating haven gotten through a few months of geir, creeping behind us is a 14-foot mutant geir with claws.

― amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

at least it'd be something different

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, that's what makes it terrifying, is that mutant would just be more of the same. But he has four hands so he can post twice as often!

― NA. (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

No he wouldn't, its much harder to type with claws, so it'll slow him down to half the speed he could type with four arms. nothings changed.

Aaron is now officially my mufugga.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 5 June 2003 18:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dude - if you have 4 arms, and hook up 2 keyboards to 2 computers and have a split brain and eyes on stalks that can swivel around to look different directions AND a harmonious soul uncorrupted by the influence of rhythm, you can TOTALLY type twice as much stuff.

― NA. (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 June 2003 18:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Also, why is Geir's head spliced onto Henry Rollins' body?

― NA. (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 June 2003 18:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

nick, what exactly does a "mufugga" entail? Will Aaron need lube?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 5 June 2003 18:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh no!!!

Who keeps doing THAT?
This thread may be about Geir, by my money is on Calum. Pervy sex is his forté.
(I guess he's done cleaning the spam from his account and is back on the attack.)

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Geir is busy inventing a new musical genre.
