Although she looks way older than she is. I'll buy the alcoholic thing on that basis alone.

she probably doesn't want to be fancied by someone wearing a little police uniform with acorns embroidered on it.

they look like big fools when they perch up high in trees, like someone who's riding a bike that's too small for them.

No.

Telling me to read the book so I can find out if you are right or wrong about whetehr I should read the book is a purely misguided argument. You are the one who has taken it upon yourself to convince me that I should read this book. Therefore I am leaving it up to you to explain to me in greater detail what it is that is so good about this book, so that I might overcome my disbelief.

What you have to say about it so far is singularly uncompelling.

Sometimes they do saussie sizzles outside Bunnings and Harwarehouse too!

-- Trayce (spamspanke...), August 9th, 2005.

If you stop to buy a sausage sandwich you often end up with raffle tickets as well for something you hope you won't win which makes you think that knowing your luck you will win this time, but you don't.

I thought that woman Momus described who was cooking and smoking at the same time sounded cute. For me, the sight of people eating fruit is quite annoying. They often look fussy and sanctimonious as they peel their oranges and pull the segments apart, or chow down their bananas. They don't look like sensualists to me; they look as if they're fulfilling the daily obligations outlined by the Food Pyramid.

i love this:

"I hardly believe I have a body most of the time."

jbr, nicole, and estela make life worth living on ilx for me. for real. they are the instant antidote to way too much nerd doodage. or dood nerdage. and there are lots of other way cool glorious ladies of ilx as well! but those three just might be my unholy trinity.

David FrumVerified account
Somebody asked me today what I worry about most urgently. I answered …

estela Retweeted David Frum

...that by decree everyone will have to add the letter 'p' to the end of their surname

hahahaa

still cant forgive estela for twitter

Lol :)

twitter is p much the same as here, though it does limit the number of words.

and for a lot of ilxors - but not estela- that is surely a major positive

:)

1 / I'm not sure that darragh is talking about, the number of characters on twitter is not limiting and

wow never knew estela started twitter

legitimised it far beyond what it was imo

the best ilxor

i'm not generally one to gush estela hagiography but this is legit epochal

RIP Tom Petty

years ago in orlando i was driving down a long hot dreary road when i realised tom petty was the front seat passenger in the car behind me, looking very relaxed and cheerful. they were behind me for a few miles (quite slow miles because i was new to driving and a complete ilx-style duffer at it and i was petrified of making a mistake and harming tom petty.)
but anyway i liked getting to see him not performing, just chatting in a car, and how the person appeared to match the persona.
another time on that same road i saw a space shuttle going up which was a stupendous sight even from 50 miles away so to be fair it wasn’t really a dreary road at all.

estela regularly brutally owns me on twitter

and here i thought my esteem for her could rise no higher

estela, I just remembered cosima de vito dramatic husky farewell speech

i'm dying

i'll need to remind her of that on twitter actually

well, turns out estela is the first of my follows to get the 280 :)

i noticed that too!

is it handed out on the basis of clandestinely-agreed wit and virtue, or has cruel lady chance turned well

it seemed legitimately impossible to make this thread worse than it already was... i am humbled & awed

yeah that was good

you don't have to be a ho saver to appreciate the comic stylings of estela, but it helps

what

FP’d regardless of whatever explanation

Ref to OP

Ffs easy on the triggers out there you nonblogreading buffoons

Too late, del griffith is banned now

RIP

this board sucks ever since I was banned

who even reads OPs anymore jeez

This is an ilx meme, for better or worse

for worse, retire it

Estela’s sparse yet deadly presence on this board is like that of a crack sniper. I don’t see her for weeks, I wonder if she’s even alive, and then another body drops.

Dorothy Snarker

Not to reduce our hero to snark obv <3

Wouldn't that epithet be redundant anyway

Muriel Snark would be my take tbh

Both valid

And both redundant
