I don't think I'm in much of this either. I might be in House of Jealous Lovers, for a post or two. This is an odd selection of threads.

A car alarm keeps going off outside my house....what should I do?
A Four eared Kitten, you guys.
what to do when your roommate doesn't realize you're home and thusly is having loud sex in the living room
The Missionary Position
There's a guy outside my window who's been threatening to jump all night!
What the hell, let's all SING "House of jealous lovers"

(the kitten thread is actually between the couch and the missionary ones)

Could have asked first, 1) to see if everyone was ok with it, 2) to see what threads people might want in it if they WERE ok with it!

Especially as Andrew Farrell is having a tizzy about it and will no doubt SEE YOU IN COURT, BUSTER.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 15:30 (nineteen years ago) link

The only thing that annoys me about it is that it implies some kind of finality to those threads, which is false. Thus the book should have been made up solely of locked threads.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 15:31 (nineteen years ago) link

That bugs me, too.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 15:33 (nineteen years ago) link

This is not making any money and I can't believe anyone but ilxors or lurkers would want to buy it.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 15:42 (nineteen years ago) link

do you really believe that?

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 15:43 (nineteen years ago) link

No, he can't believe that.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 15:43 (nineteen years ago) link

yes I can believe that.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 15:44 (nineteen years ago) link

You fucking liar.

2 measly posts in the whole book. I object on egotistical grounds.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Print a couple of the threads onto a thong, and then we're talking...

ARE THERE PICTURES IN THIS BITCH?!

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:08 (nineteen years ago) link

string a few sentences together, full of cheek.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:09 (nineteen years ago) link

believe.

The chapter is not closed on my roommate tale! why just this morning I found a note on my door that read "go to this website and we can get free movie tickets, it's so cool! =) " Suddenly my real-life has turned into an AOL inbox and my roommate is a spammer.

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Surely you mean "spammee" (in the context of a "spam javelin")?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:13 (nineteen years ago) link

"remember when I caught S**** getting spammed up the backdoor? Good times, friend."

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:15 (nineteen years ago) link

So would that mean Butt-Sex Boy is a spanner?

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I love that my contributions to this consist of "Your roomie got buttfucked by a hipster bingo" and a breakdown of all the times I've fallen from high places.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:27 (nineteen years ago) link

will they be releasing an e-book version?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I suppose I could read the spoken word edition.

(That said, releasing a book of all this is pretty damned goofy to start with, above and beyond not asking anyone about it.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:31 (nineteen years ago) link

release it on jon's label!!

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:32 (nineteen years ago) link

― I LOVE CLUB BANG!@@! ELECTRO RULES (ex machina), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I just bought this book to be annoying.

― Homosexual II, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Hahaha Mandee!!!

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:57 (nineteen years ago) link

perfect stocking filler, I guess.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 17:00 (nineteen years ago) link

no, that would be a severed foot.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 17:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Roxy in severed limbs fetish shockah?

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 17:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I have 8 new ILX books planned for next week. I'm also selling books of pitchfork and all music.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 17:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I have a surprising amount of posts in a couple of those threads. Like the one about losing my virginity. Lovely.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 17:32 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm going to read it out in public a LOT. Like at Starbucks and shit.

― Homosexual II, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

My brother is in this book as much as I am, WTF!

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 17:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, that's what your brother gets for assfucking Gear's roomate on a couch.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I wanna be there to see the look on that dude's face when he finds out he's a very minor internet meme.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Good point, roxy!

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:16 (nineteen years ago) link

At least your only post in the book isn't you trying to replicate the bass line to HOJL in text.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I don't wanna be in this. Not to be ill-tempered or anything, but I don't, and would prefer to have been asked. Strongly. So, please remove any of mine before selling. Thank you.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:49 (nineteen years ago) link

"selling"

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:50 (nineteen years ago) link

well, or whatever! just 'cause they're public posts doesn't mean I'm ok with them being printed.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Apparently it has to be a "violent" objection before he takes it down.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I object.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:55 (nineteen years ago) link

What I'm trying to say is "punctuate that sentence by kicking him in the nards kthxbye"

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I think this is the thread that means it's time for me to leave ilx. I am seriously bummed out that somebody'd even consider printing the stuff up for distribution.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:55 (nineteen years ago) link

...

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:57 (nineteen years ago) link

no!

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I doubt I posted to any of those threads, but if I did, I object. Actually I object to the idea of reprinting and selling copyrighted material and then afterward asking if anybody minds; I object to that on moral and just plain stupid-or-not grounds; and I also object to what it does to a board like this to have the weird ambient threat that things you say may suddenly be reprinted in some other context, no matter how unappealing-to-anyone-but-ILXors -- especially given how many people with actual public profiles (critics, writers, people in bands) have taken to posting here. (Also I object to any ILX book comp, however morally reprehensible, not including more threads that I posted to: I AM THE STAR OF THIS SHOW EVEN IF I NEVER POST.)

I thought this was the new Excelsior thread, but really it's just dumb!

oh this was a bad idea, sorry

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:35 (fifteen years ago) link

haha was this the first time we saw "Just a bit of fun, so lets be cool."

― Ste, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

it looks like the damage has already been done so swiftly and efficiently that there's nothing even remotely concievable I could've done to stop it

― omar little, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

Ste: yes

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link

I always thought that the idea that you should "think harder, speak more clearly, be more kind" wasn't a bad one.

Was it?

― Mark G, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link

six years pass...

does anyone actually have this? seems like the ultimate ilx collector item.
