Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

imago- i've been meaning to ask u: why do u think you've had such a controversial posting history on ilx despite, to the lay-poster, appearing to be fairly innocuous? why so many bans, for instance? do you have a theory?

― Mordy , Tuesday, 23 July 2013 21:21 (8 minutes ago)

in brief: because i used to post like an irrepressible motormouthed idiot with a serious attention-seeking problem and a thoroughly deficient sense of humour nonetheless foisted into every nook of relevance, or indeed irrelevance

You were fearless, beautiful. They've made you like us. ;_;

the teenagers I play cricket with were reduced to tears of helpless laughter last weekend when I revealed within an episode of great gadding and tomfoolery on the sidelines that I was married

I then strode out into the middle and blasted an indefatigable 28 not out

think of that as a microcosm of sorts

in other words, you haven't changed all that much

fuck you allllllllll ;-)

<3

within an episode of great gadding and tomfoolery on the sidelines

did this involve nudity or crossdressing?

ilx hasn't changed much either

ha quite

xp imago, kudos to you for being able to admit that other peoples' criticisms of you were at least on some level valid. that's a hard thing to do. i don't think i've ever done something like that.

a serious attention-seeking problem

3 years pass...

hey!

i'm infuriated by what that post seems to be insinuating

maybe he has this stealthy intricate plan to post innocuous things on every thread on ilx and it has nothing to do with immediate gratification?

honestly, I just think it's funny when people bump cryptic "empty" threads like that TITTWIS one

love it when old threads are bumped, especially with "bump"

bump vs. revive vs. hey

bump

things that go revive in the night

treeship is much, much more controlled and self-restrained than haberdager/just got offed/arguably even country matters was

even pat finn at his outset was inoffensive and plastic

he doesn't deserve stick, at all really, although (i'd imagine semi-deliberately) leaves himself open to zings (being as they are the perverse symbols of acceptance or even fellowship)

Best way to revive a thread after 3 years is '^'

mods don't hate fun as much as they used to?

xp h8 treeship so much, worst poster since haberdager imo

i like 'bump' because it sounds like it's your classified ad or something, that combined with 8 years ago and a luna c post is guaranteed stupid lols for me, personally. xp

i think writing "hey!", specifically, on a long-dead thread is funny, like i am walking into an empty room expecting there to be a party there.

treesh does tart himself from time to time with those ingenuous little solecisms that will attract mild and essentially approving zings

he has the prophylactic defence of his endless 'i am not sure about how problematic these feelings/thoughts of mine might be' self-reflexity

sarahell has just motioned 'dump', quite like it mesel'

wtf are you even talking about xp

nilmar that is far too salient an evisceration. larval treeship deserves merely the vague fug of deconstruction, i.e. 'he's a bit gauche, knows it', y'know, radio 2 shit

yes but gaucheness is about not-knowing, treesh is unusual in that he tries to anticipate the 'discourse' around him and since there are so few new ilx posters these days he knows everyone wants to talk about treesh, waterface etc

lest it be unclear, i do approve of treeship on the whole

vague fugs on the sidelines

i'm not trying to construct a persona or even get certain kinds of reactions from people, except occasionally "lols". usually i am just sharing my opinions/experiences/whatever. i'm not "gauche" i just don't like getting embroiled in zing wars so my statements usually aren't couched in 76 layers of irony

"Who, me?"

^

I approve of peterish but he simply must do more to get embroiled in zingwars

treesh i dont think you are gauche at all

you are knowing, whether you know it or not

Wins isnt as earnest but dont mind getting his hands dirty down amongst the cheap lols, knows what's up imo

http://i-cdn.apartmenttherapy.com/uimages/dc/names-of-furniture.jpg

lj quite gauche in his thirdship person assertion of gaucheness imo

imo,

there are different levels of shall we euphemistically say generosity with oneself that one can employ on ilx

an approximate metric states that the higher the level of generosity, the more that perception of time is slowed. regular ilx posting, perversely, is an antidote to perspective. 7 years on friday i'll have been here, 7 years have taught me this

"gauche" does not apply outside of ilx where i'm sure you're awesome, wise, hip, whatever

but on ilx, "gauche" is a matter of visibility and time, for the game is to post as perfectly as possible. this is not true of many websites. it is ilx's blessing and its curse

sweet

i'm so fucking annoying and always will be

I'd have said me plus maybe one other poster

caustic wins, dow

the ilafl nexus + u, dmac and estela basically

+ the other ones i've f******* on f********

*counts asterisks* phew

I didn't just ask that question so I could make that pun btw

lol

Humorless?

lol u missed tom d's post then

if the hat fits wear it deems

nah I didn't but the q wasn't that q

He was noted for his many personal affectations, including proffering his hand in papal fashion, lapsing into Latin whilst speaking, and deliberately mispronouncing modern words.

― pecker shrivellage (imago), Friday, 24 October 2014 02:41 (17 hours ago)

if you had to introduce a single one of these affectations employed by your anglo-hellenic predecessor norman st john stevas into your personal brand, which would it be?

the same man and i say it here in the open so as he doesn't take it as an attack from anywhere but the front would maybe have to whittle out a few affectations to be left with only one of the above

nakhers u and i both know quid eorum that wd be

deliberately mispronouncing modern words is the clear winner there

twy-ter

i do have a fantasy of converting my high facility for written latin into a spoken form, but there are so few conversant speakers

you could combine both of those affectations by not using words like television that combine greek and latin roots and make up your own words for them solely derived from sansrkit or amaraic

always like the way Evelyn Waugh pronounced gibberish with a hard g in the three-part(!) tv doc on him. I used to use that when training people at work and watch carefully for flickers, or on a couple of occasions, be amused at outright attempts to correct.

not that I blame them - it's a wanker's trick, but all pleasures are all we can afford in these pied times.

lol the phrase 'egregious transadriatic portmanteau' was on my previous okcupid profile ('ornithocarnate')

Everyone seems to say cache like "Ka-shay". ... But I did know one person who used to say: "cake" I could never tell if he was being facetious or ...

the person i know who did this was fairly certainly not being facetious

does that person referring to computers kashaying or of of paramilitaries having arms kashays

abhor the word 'chav' obv but try pronouncing it with a long a

i was not soliciting but dispensing there as is surely obvious m8

how are the sexual politics of the charlton forum

slightly less byzantine that might be feared

didn't realize there was a third party involved. I've not checked so mb fan forums are full of romantic wisdom

have a sister in law that pronounce wifi as 'weefee'

My sister's ex-husband's uncle used to pronounce video as 'veedeeo' and I was in a band with someone who used to pronounce demo as 'deemo'... however this was in Renfrewshire where people (used to) pronounce "seven" as "seeven", an affectation I once utilised on ILX for one of my wildly popular Bobby Gillespie skits, where Bob met Momus (Momus is from Paisley... which is in Renfrewshire).
