whats next? best dead beatle?

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:53 (fifteen years ago)

the only genuine moron on here is Liam (I dunno enough about Doherty to comment)

― the taint of Macca is strong (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:54 (fifteen years ago)

Doherty's a genuine moron.

― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:55 (fifteen years ago)

Moon was also pretty moronic by all accounts.

― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:55 (fifteen years ago)

Untrue.

― everything, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:56 (fifteen years ago)

voted "geir hongro"

― a full circle lol (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:58 (fifteen years ago)

i guess with moon it's hard to tell which side of the actual moron / acts like a moron divide he fell under

― Jamie_ATP, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:59 (fifteen years ago)

By most accounts he was an intelligent, witty, articulate substance abuser. Not a moron at all.

― everything, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:59 (fifteen years ago)

Once you've blown up your third hotel toilet, you've graduated to moron in my book.

― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

I'm not sure about everyone in this list, but i'd say Lee Perry and perhaps Barrett, Wilson and Moon were closer to mad genius than moron. Certainly drugs have played a significant role in both the ascendency and decline of everyone in this list.

― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

Exactly how much drugs was Brian Wilson abusing at the time when he went cuckoo?

― Tied Up In Geir (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 23:06 (fifteen years ago)

325.7 grams

― Oppositional Soup (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 23:07 (fifteen years ago)

The word obviously translates to something else.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 23:10 (fifteen years ago)

Jeez, if I ever abandoned my personal "no SBing" policy...

― Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Suggest Banned (Myonga Vön Bontee), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 07:49 (fifteen years ago)

Another write-in vote for Hongro...

This is an unfunny and offensive thread, even by Geir's standards...

― ColinO, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 08:12 (fifteen years ago)

I sigh, and then I cry, and I wonder why...

― Mark G, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 08:20 (fifteen years ago)

I dislike this thread.

CLICHE ALERT: "I will never SB anyone, but this has come the closest."

I don't mind the poll options, but hey can we rename this 'eccentrics' or something?

― Mark G, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 09:52 (fifteen years ago)

This is bad and wrong.

― Peinlich Manoeuvre (NickB), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 09:56 (fifteen years ago)

Best Mormon

Don't change the Subject!

― Mark G, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 10:21 (fifteen years ago)

Ugh Geir... so, so wrong

― young depardieu looming out of void in hour of profound triumph (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 10:59 (fifteen years ago)

Um, Geir, you do realise how offensive this is, don't you? You're just trolling for kicks right?

― tomofthenest, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 11:16 (fifteen years ago)

going syd here. local pride.

― history mayne, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 11:57 (fifteen years ago)

I think it's funny. I'm torn between Gallagher and Doherty.

― neither good nor bad, just a kid like you (unperson), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 12:23 (fifteen years ago)

Geir is ILX MVP today, if only because this isn't another fucking 'worst some boring shit or other' poll

"turn me on, dead moron" is genius.

― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 15:12 (fifteen years ago)

Syd Barrett usually just annoys me

― I'm the best maaaayne, I did it (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 15:20 (fifteen years ago)

Write in vote for "people offended by polls on the internet"

― chocolatepiekid, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 18:14 (fifteen years ago)

Also I believe Brian Wilson has gone on record refuting his "genius" title, claiming he is/was simply a "hard worker". So, Brian Wilson is the correct answer.

― chocolatepiekid, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 18:18 (fifteen years ago)

Geir, i believe you REALLY need a break from ilx.
