Coming in and out of thread like Beavis and Butthead as fathered by Paul Morley. What I want you to do is to say something that will astound me and make me believe that any of you are geniuses.

(Cool, Marcello.)

i thought this was a doomie thread

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Or perhaps he is going to be sending them each a deck of Garbage Pail Kids cards? If that's the case, I am jealous.

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe they're 'Congratulations Yr A Genius' cards?

― person#0 (person#0), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

what does "i'm making your cards" mean? who's paul morley?

You got the joke!

Not exactly Chris Morris.

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

you should write it like "ethan (trife)" if you want all the cards to match up

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

You got the joke!

I assure you it wasn't intentional, honest.

i dont quite understand this thread doomie, could you explain a little further?

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Just read an article on how some people 'gloss' over words and correct them - i.e. Marking and Making. Wanted to see how many people picked up on it and how many people did not. It was an interesting thread. Cheers!

― Waiting on a Miracle, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I assumed that you had meant to write marking, but wasn't feeling nitpicking enough to mention it... what does this tell you about me then?

― person#0 (person#0), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Have to go but when I get back I will link the article.

― Waiting on a Miracle, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:16 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i may have missed the context to this thread, because i dont understand what anyone is saying

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:17 (twenty-two years ago)

if some nightmare scenario occured and we no longer existed as corporeal beings and all that remained was our ilx textual selves then we'd see more threads like this.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, guess what...

― Thy Lethal Zen Ned (Ned), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

The gist of the article is the ole left-side/right-side brain debate. Those who spotted it tend to be more literal, etc and those who did not tend to be more creative, etc. Am waiting for some psych professors at the moment and read a series of exercises that subjects participated in. Purdy cool, huh?

― Waiting on a Miracle, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm it's strange that, cos most of the personality tests I take (I'm one of those people that derives perverse self-analytical pleasure in doing so) say I fall on the creative side (and like to draw lines from this to the fact I'm left-handed), so me picking up on this is unexpected if what you say is true.

However, I didn't notice it at first, only after I'd read it a few times. But anyway.

― person#0 (person#0), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I think for it to work effectively it has to be an instant response and not thought about. I'm left-handed as well!

― Waiting on a Miracle, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Scaredy Cat.

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

"Hmm it's strange that, cos most of the personality tests I take (I'm one of those people that derives perverse self-analytical pleasure in doing so) say I fall on the creative side"

Aaaaaaah! But doesn't the fact that you take these tests and derive pleasure from being self-analytical suggest that you're more literal?

Catch 22?

Or just evidence that it's all a load of bollocks?

― person#0 (person#0), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

But what does "I'm MARKING your cards" mean?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Something to do with bingo?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

It means: 'Keeping an Eye on You' probably derived from bingo? Google to thread.

― Waiting on a Miracle, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

"Your card is marked" = "I've got my eye on you", usually in a threatening manner. I believe it's originally a bridge term.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I've just got the delightful image of bridge players menacingly threatening each other, mafia-style!

― person#0 (person#0), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

marking cards is a card-player's way of cheating... knowing what the other player (or dealer) has.

(hahahaha, ok, i can't believe i have to do this but due to being 'called out' in chat recently and asked what was up... 1) i did not start this thread, 2) yes, i did just a post a parody of the thread starter without logging myself out.. )

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Clearly he's special. Only people like him go to Corsica with a typewriter. As it is, shall we take bets on when he returns to ILX without explanation?

''Is there still a copy of this secret custos hate thread???''

I'm sure its in the archives. As I recall Jess wasn't listed in the top ten (I was, for some reason).

I just love the way that Doomie tried to dress up this thread as anything other than an attack on these posters. He actually proved there was a point to him besides telling everybody how great poptones is.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 21 August 2003 07:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Jess if you want to avoid ppl using this thread for later bashing-you purposes then just lock it, I think the original poster is made to look a complete chump on it so his 'victims' come off rather well.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 21 August 2003 09:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Can we make this a thread where Doomie has a tantrum and fucks off for the thousandth time?
-- Ronan August 20th, 2003. (later)

Oh ok it's this one

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 21 August 2003 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

oh custos did a thread where he listed the worst ilm posters (oh the motherfuckin irony) under an assumed name and i outed him about it
You're wrong about that, jess.
I didn't post that thread.
I told you that.

"Is there still a copy of this secret custos hate thread???"
The one (I think) jess is talking about isn't a "Custos hates everybody" thread. (There is no such an animal); It was "some shmuck hates everybody, Custos included."; It was merely posted from one of the 20 computers (most of them public) that I've posted from in the past.
I'm not the perp, I'm one of the victims.
