summarize long threads and assess boring-ness and clusterfuckedness

this is a thread to ^^^

THIS IS THE THREAD WHERE WE SUM UP ILX CLUSTERFUCK THREADS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THEM.

1p3 is a diff animal of course tho

i was thinking about the og thread the other day when that "how do you pronounce nike?" thread had like 866 new answers

but what about long threads that aren't clusterfuck threads? Nike thread was just long ...

good luck summing that one up.

Nike thread: british pronounce things funny, semantics of pastries, semantics of faucets/taps, but how do you pronounce, actual linguistic info; post lengths - relatively short

anyway, MJ threads are generally - He was pretty good, he wasn't that good, no- the stuff everyone knows and loves wasn't that good but his obscure stuff from 1993 is pretty great, here's a joke about him oh that's bad taste, his nose wasn't real but when can we get a boxset kthanx.

Harry Potter thread? What's going on there?

oh, "my stupid coworker reads harry potter and won't shut up about it and i'm so much better than her because i read infinite jest" or something

just my interpretation btw

are the other a couple hundred posts people going back and forth with "no you're not" and "yes I am"?

no then it's like "why bother reading at all *nose in air*" "i don't know, i just don't know *shakes head*"

are there funny pictures?

haha i just looked at it again and it's not like that, it's just confessing all the crappy books you have read like stephen king and stuff

shame ... the thread looked like it could have generated a good amount of funny pictures.

gershy's most sucessful revive, numbers wise?

; )

What's going on now in the Death of the Record Collection thread ... post-CD binder theft?

whiney and john d are having a contest to see who can be the most butthurt

helpful update for me personally as that thread is blocked @ work for some reason..

what's up with the harvard guy thread?

hard to tell

the dude's actual work is boring, so are posts assessing such

there was some whiney & beef lamp last night but that was settled

as of now... who knows

lol -- whiney & lamp beef

beef lamp was created built by Lady Gaga herself iirc

beef lamp was created built by Lady Gaga herself iirc, rather

Salem thread? I tried to read it ... "rape gaze" was a joke tbh

it's people arguing about a band

there's that much to argue about Salem?

god, the cat from Sabrina the Teenage Witch was the worst.

"why does white ppl always want to rock like black ppl"
"i say, these chaps make some right nice tunecicles"
"FUCK YOU"
"i just think they might not be so bad as you say"
"[american history]"

it was mostly not a real cat is the thing

iirc there is the matter ofhttp://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG

thank you.

classic Wu-Tang solo run poll ???

there's a mod request thread in re this thread - there's gotta be something going on here besides people arguing about a band

it's turned into another deej takes on the whole of ilx thread, pretty fun to watch, altho i can say that it's completely aggravating if you're actually participating in the argument

I don't know much about rap, but I was following parts of the thread until it totally spiraled out of control

why did ilxor get threadbanned from salem?

dayo because he posted another horrific cnn story with ilx personalities subbed in

wtf how is that even remotely funny

ilxor mental breakdown pretty wtf

major lol at tunecicles - it reminds me of when Alex Bennett used to host the morning show on Live 105 back in the mid 80s and they were constantly talking about neuticles.

kanye thread? more?

awhile back i knowingly made a reference to a positive consensus 'in my world of young ppl' regarding cee lo's 'fuck you' being popular, especially relative to the controversial-ness on ilx/singles jukebox bubble that implied it was getting 'mixed reviews'. this was neither an endorsement nor dismissal of the song. al thought the phrase was funny & has been trolling me about it, whiney thought it was some kind of declaration about me being down with black people & took it seriously as me saying that my argument was more legit than other people's because i think i know what the kids today listen to, and he repeatedly brings it up in a misleading way. mad about the nonsense in the u.s. senate, i read his eye-rollingly off point arguments & lashed out, observing that glossy music mags have had shitty criticism since well before the arrival of blogs & implying that he may have had some hand in that.

then dan told us to chill the eff out

* Why are rock music threads on ILM so boring? [Started by congratulations (n/a) in December 2010, last updated 25 seconds ago by phish in your sleazebag (contenderizer) on I Love Music] 454 new answers

2 percent "because rock music is boring"
2 percent "because people on ILM don't care about rock music"
96 percent "but what is rock music?"

why are there consistently thousands of new posts in the comedy poll results thread?

Uh, because some of us don't have anything that might pass for "a life". Also, because of joeks, mostly.

Lena Dunham ./..again?
