Can we discuss the body language here for a sec?

Dude - somewhat self-concious. Sitting at the end of the bed. Not turned towards the girls at all.

Middle chick - obv. not uncomfortable. Legs open in comfortable sitting stance - prolly familiar with knocking back a few Millers. Prolly an athlete - sitting position and less-high maintenance hair style the tip-off. Could be down for some Mario Kart.

End chick - keeping athlete chick in-between her and the Griz. Legs crossed and she's leaned over in a classic closed position. Hair clip on wrist says she may be down for dancing later on, but cam dressed to impress. She does not seem impressed by his multi-generational collection of Nintendo games - Original NES, Nintento 64, and Super Nintendo, all in the hizzy.

my guess is the person taking the picture is a guy, friend of "me i'm cool sitting here driking beer striking an awesome i d'ont care about chix and am not nervous at all pose" who is cooler (a bit) and is the only one talking to the girls.

they're probably like temporary friends, y'know how that works in college. you hang with someone for like three weeks, then don't, then never see them around. no big deal.

It looks like Grand Theft Auto, Madden (of some unidentified year) and at least Spiderman the DVD. None bear the rental spine stickers, so I'm guessing owned, not rented.

If we could date the Madden, we might have a chance here, people!

Possibly off-campus apartment, or recently-graduated.

But then why would they be in his ROOM?

He's probably the first guy who ever said "Would you like to come up to see some of my etchings?" and meant it!

I second the off-campus living. Mom would never allow this.

I think this is most definitely a dorm room, and whoever suggested the first-week awkward meeting random people scenario is probably right. My dorm in Tennessee had air-conditioners just like that, and it dressers like that, and probably nicer were not uncommon, especially in places like language houses, or even nicer dorms. The person who took the picture is probably the dude's room-mate, and they're all there to smoke a bowl.

Well, those cropped corduroy jackets were popular for the last two years, so I would say it puts it in that timeframe. The purse in front looks like a knock-off Coach. Not even good enough to have fake logos on it.

― Jena (JenaP), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:36 (eighteen years ago) link

I am pretty sure it isn't a dorm:

1) A/C
2) Beds in dorms not usually metal frame type like that
3) Styling on dresser
4) Carpeting
5) VENETIAN BLINDS. Dorms usually have pull blinds.

Yeah, hmmm: if it was Wayne's bed, would he be sitting where he's sitting? Wouldn't he sit more toward the head of the bed and let the guests sit toward the foot? I don't know why I think this, except there's sort of a protective instinct that would dictate that positioning.

yes, if it was his place why would he have the whole twenty pack so close at hand. wouldn't it be in a fridge?

My theory: It's the room in the apartment where the video games live (def. not a dorm, because a dorm wouldn't have a duct-taped AC, because of insurance and stuff). Athlete-girl's boyfriend lives there, which is why she's more comfortable, and he's currently out of the shot playing video games with another out-of-shot person. Limited seating means non-players have to sit on the bed. Note that Hooters-guy could very easily be looking at the TV, not at the girls. The girls have no interest in the game, and are anxious for it to end so they can smoke another bowl and go on to the party in some other apartment's basement.

I had to de-lurk for this, because it brought back the college memories.

So, let's see:

It was raining outside. Chix are not the residents here, and Wayne may or may not be. He appears to be watching the television. Taken in college setting, but prolly not in a dorm - a shared apartment in a college town.

A new one - since neither Wayne nor Kelly are paying attention to the camera, but Krissy is, it tells me she was there to see someone behind the camera - either taking or actually just not in range of the shot. Either way, it appears no "Say Cheese!" was uttered. Or Wayne and Kelly already smoked a bowl.

It must've been a magical moment when those two girls stepped gingerly into that bedroom, looked around, and sat down with a "oh, what the hell" kind of attitude. Sportgirl probably just dropped her purse to the ground with a *thump* before kicking back.

Wayne nervously set down the case of beer before sitting down in a position that would give the girls plenty of space while at the same time, not make it appear that he was actually somewhat intimidated by them.

Someone off-camera starts playing a video game before girl at the head of the bed turns her head, smiles, and says, "Hey, Wayne. Would it be okay if I had one of your beers?" Sportsgirl says, "Yeah, me too, if you don't mind. I'll pay you back."

Wayne can't believe his fortune in making a connection with these two. As politely as possible, he hands each a beer saying, "Oh, no problem. There's enough here for everyone!"

Okay, here's my theory: the guy's is living in a shared flat, and the girls know his flatmate. There's maybe a party going, or maybe the girls are just visiting there, but the they're definitely more interested in his flatmate. Anyway, at some point the guy is like, "I have a case of beer in my room, why don't we go there, I can show you my games and stuff...". The girls are like, free beer yay, but they say to the flatmate, "Why don't you come with us?". So all four go there, the flatmate taking his camera with him. As for the photo itself, if you look at the guy's eyes really carefully, he's actually staring at girls, thinking "Two hot girls on my bed, I can't believe this is happening!", which explains why he isn't looking at the camera.

kelly is stepping on that blue bag, i'd think this means she's pretty comfortable - she must be the link between orange girl and wayne.

Flash coming off her nail polish? If the beer can doesn't produce a bright flash, why would a tiny fingernail?

The goal of this website is to make it easier for us to keep in touch with Diehl, keeping him informed of what happens at home along with keeping everyone at home up to date with what he has been up to.

dear ryan,

today i mailed your lindsay lohan cd for bill because he is too much of a slacker to ever wake up before 3 o clock. I also mailed you a hot ass birthday card and your brother happened to be at the post office so he signed it too! what an eventful talk to you later buddy.

having only participated in the begining before leaving the office and just discovered all that happened in the meantime, i have to say it's been the greatest thread ever !
i dunno if we can find the magic again though... maybe we should shut ilx now !

YA RLY

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:30 (eighteen years ago) link

"1p3"?

I started feeling some regrets about participating in this thread and the morality of it all, it's a different thing if Wayne himself would've put the pics online (thus accepting the fact random strangers may comment upon them), but he doesn't necessarily even know they're there. What would you suppose he'd really think if he'd find this thread? Thankfully there are some nice thoughts here as well.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:38 (eighteen years ago) link

this thread hasn't been a pure moment of magic, joy and communion to you ?
i feel sadness and empathy for you jaded ilxor...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:38 (eighteen years ago) link

I mean, Internet is still such a new thing (to me at least) that the sort of ethical guidelines I have with normal everyday interaction feel muddled here. I wouldn't make nasty comments about a random stranger on the street, why is it okay here? I dunno, someone help me out.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:40 (eighteen years ago) link

What would you suppose he'd really think if he'd find this thread? Thankfully there are some nice thoughts here as well.

well, first, the friends of Diehl don't even know Wayne so the chances of him finding the thread are very thin. and then, our thoughts about him have evolved a lot along the thread and he comes off as a fairly nice guy compared to the others, no ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I wouldn't make nasty comments about a random stranger on the street, why is it okay here?

ah, maybe that's where you differ from all the people here ?
that said, it's true that it was more harmless (and arguably, more fun) when we had no idea about these people. when they weren't "real".

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't think morality works that way that everything's okay if "he doesn't find out" - we should have certain principles whether or not anyone finds out we've broken them. And even if Wayne comes out as a nice guy compared to the others, why is it okay to criticize them, then? What do we know about these people.

(Don't take these comments too seriously, I'm sorta playing the devil's advocate here, but I think in general these are interesting and important issues.)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:45 (eighteen years ago) link

i know they know about the thread, i meant they don't know wayne !
and Tuomas, i didn't say it was ok because they wouldn't find out, but that it was when more fun (and ok) when they weren't "real" people, we knew nothing about them and we were just bitching randomly.
(and besides, sometimes we are just mean, i guess !).

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:58 (eighteen years ago) link

This could very well be the only thread like this ever.

Now we know that the subjects of our presumed anonymous pictures can be found and find out about us, we're never going to be as spontaneous about this kind of thing ever again.

i agree. there has to be some sort of end to it, closure if you will. we cant go on endlessly speculating, even if that was the most fun. we'd sort of gotten to the end of the line given what was revealed in the original picture.

i love how on that other message board they call him wayne too.

Did anyone ever note that the bottom of Wayne's left pant leg is wet?

Dude finally got back to me about how he found it on google:

Re: IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN DUDE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hahahah original caption is:
Awkward moment after an imaginary threesome.

Do a google image search for the word "awkward". You'll find the original pic about halfway down the page.

Then check out the page it comes from. It's called Diehl-in-Iraq. Apparently this party was one for a kid who is now in Iraq.

There is a folder by a girl, forget her name, and these pics come from her folder. There are several.

You're welcome.

Er, no. I think laughing at random people because of their appearance is rather nasty, I didn't know it was a common type of behaviour or anything.

it's not just laughing at their appearance, it's the whole art of people watching. it's laughing at what you speculate is their entire motivation and raison d'être!

― AaronK (AaronK), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 16:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Could someone summarise what exactly is known about "Wayne"? Even after wading through 600 odd posts he remains a tantalising mystery to me, a far more opaque character than Diehl. Do we know his real name? What his relationship to Diehl is? Any other concrete information?

― Sarah B, Wednesday, 1 February 2006 17:58 (eighteen years ago) link

We don't! That's why I was surprised that people were so quick to close the book on this thread.

Although I could be asking the very same questions about YOU, mystery ILXor (I've surmised that you're British because of "summarise" -- what else do we know about Sarah B?)...

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:00 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm afraid I shall remain forever a mystery to you, jaymc.

― Sarah B., Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Bill was another guy. I still think that Wayne's real name is Tommy Loftus.

hm.

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:16 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought we surmised his real name was Bill

I think the Bill thing came from the fact that one of the photos with him not in it was captioned "Where the hell is Bill?" or something, but it's not 100% positive that he's the Bill missing from the pic.

― AaronK (AaronK), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:45 (eighteen years ago) link

There was a myspace link up there where a friend of Diehl's made mention of The Syrup Kid, Tommy Loftus. Maybe they've got more than one Loftus in their pack. It is Pennsylvania after all.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, good work, PP.

The comment is from Tommy Turnbull (who in another post compliments a roast-beef sandwich that Glen made for him, which on the wrapper was scrawled "Tommy T - No Tax"):

The Syrup Kid, glen, was none other than the shadeball Tommy Loftus. Well we should set somethin up this summer where we get some old friends and party it up. Rock on \W/

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:57 (eighteen years ago) link

But how do you know this Tommy Loftus is Wayne?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Because some of the filenames in the Diehl in Iraq photo album identified him as "loftus" -- for example "andy_loftus.jpg." (Andy being the other person in the photo.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:03 (eighteen years ago) link

There are five Loftuses in Drexel Hill, PA, on whitepages.com, including one Tom and another Thomas Jr.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Because he's referred to as "Loftus" in the galleries. The only lead we've got that his first name is Tommy comes from what jaymc just posted.

those girls are there to smoke a bowl before going to a party or something. they're at that house because the guy taking the picture has pot, maybe even sells it, and he lives in a house where such things don't matter much. the girl on the left is an athlete, but was certainly more of one a few years back; now, since she spent so much time on sports, most of her old - now popular - friends have moved on and she's left to a racier crowd: a crowd that will drink and smoke in not-so-flashy places. 'hooters' is the younger brother of this guy with pot who was more than eager to come in the room because it's rare he can be around such people, but his hopes have sort of sizzled out at this point -- he's not feeling as suave.

sadly, for both the men, the girls will soon be gone with a shaky excuse.

― Peter Densmore (pbnmyj), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I really don't think its tommy loftus or tommy anything, based on the fact that Ryan already said he didn't know who the two beer queer was. Also in every picture he appears in everybody else is looking at/acting towards him like it's the first time they've met him. Guessing one of Ryan's friends brought this guy along to the party.

Also, key to Wayne's body language in the first pic is actually clearly: "I want to fire up that SNES so bad but I can't cause it would be weird"
knee grip expresses desire for a controller, not sublimated lust.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:27 (eighteen years ago) link

oh, and the picture was taken because the older brother was feeling a bit insecure about his company and their impresions of him and needed to do something to look engaged and purposeful... i hate to think that he might also be inadvertently making a joke of his brother -- something he'll realize after the girls leave and regret.

How literally are we taking this statement, though? Maybe it's like if you did something stupid and then I gestured with my thumb toward you and asked the rest of the room, "Who's this clown?"

Loftus is clearly a guy they know but isn't in their tight-knit group of friends.

okay check it out. The guy in the middle of this picture: http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/albums/Diehls-Party/whatsandythinking.sized.jpg
is andy loftus. The body language by Andy in this picture: http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/Diehls-Party/andy_loftus
is the only picture in the entire canon in which anybody's body language says anything positive or intimate about Wayne. Also, Andy's somewhat goonie-looking, like Wayne. I'm guessing Andy's a classic man of two worlds; the geeks and the nihilistic assholes (the latter probably via being on the track team with Ryan or something, doesn't matter). He knows Wayne from, like, his job at Burger King or something and he dragged him along to this party.

It's striking that after some 700 posts that have elicited stacks of information about Diehl and his friends, we still know literally nothing about Wayne, except that his name might possibly be Loftus.

Diehl comes across as a bit of two-dimensional jerk, albeit one with a certain jock-type charisma that attracts some girls. If he wanted to, Diehl could probably set up a threesome with the two girls. Wayne is painfully lacking in any charsima, jock-type or otherwise. He seems so different from Diehl that I'm guessing they're not friends, but that someone else invited Wayne to the party, as suggested up-thread.

I'm also guessing that Wayne is a bit more of an interesting character than Diehl and co. He's not shown in his best light at the Diehl party, because he's a fish out of water, feeling awkward and uncomfortable. He looks like a total loser but he's just more of a quiet, introspective type. The evidence for the prosecution is of course the Hooters t-shirt. But that could be a)not reflecting his real character but an attempt to ingratiate himself into the redneck culture in which he finds himself, or b)he might have a weekend kitchen job at Hooters. Unlike Diehl, Wayne hasn't gone straight from school into the army. He's probably studying at a nearby college. I think he might even have a girlfriend, although she's going to be a bit plainer and weightier than the two girls in the source photo.

And, back in 1981 (different bedroom/different t-shirt (probably iron Maiden) but same sitting on the bed feeling totally out of it) I WAS Wayne (Tommy), and it all turned out good in the end.

I don't think we're going to get any closer to discovering anything about Wayne by examining the minutiae of the Diehl world. Wayne is clearly not a part of that scene, or only very peripherally. The "two-beer queer" comment underlines the point.

Wayne looks like Diehl's inferior, since Diehl is this tall, rangy guy who clearly appeals to the women of his entourage. Diehl is basically a smalltown jock. But Diehl's education stopped at high school, and since coming back cashed-up from Iraq, he's been unemployed and, judging from his myspace profile, in no hurry to get a job either ("I dont like to work so I dont"). His prospects aren't really too great. His best friend Tommy Turnball also never went to college and works as a labourer. Turnball describes his life thusly: "I usually just do the same shit every day, work, drink, sleep, repeat." As for intellectual stimulus, he boasts that "I have actually read a book I didn't have to: Black Hawk Down." We're talking about guys with very narrow horizons here. And Diehl's tour of duty in Iraq probably only narrowed his further. He'll probably never escape his home town and will end up in some dead-end job, still drinking with his pal Tommy and mooning for the camera.

Wayne, on the other hand, looks like a college kid to me. He's doing computer studies or something. He may not look too great now, but in ten years' time, he's going to be doing a lot better than Diehl.

― lupine luck, Thursday, 2 February 2006 14:18 (eighteen years ago) link

come on guys, wayne is not introspective and quiet. he is clearly the loud-in-an-obnoxious-not-funny-way guy who thinks he's a bit of a party animal.

evidence.
http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/albums/Diehls-Party/awkward.sized.jpg
probably just made some blokeish comments "i like me hooters i do" or "fancy a threesome laaadies?" and the girls turn away in disgust, see the way laurel did a "Tim from The Office"'s face, like when keith the accountant bloke talks about giving girls orgasms.

Unlike Diehl, Wayne hasn't gone straight from school into the army. He's probably studying at a nearby college.

Several of Diehl's friends are studying at Delaware County Community College right now (which is how they met Jenna and Danielle and Ashlee, who are a couple years younger and not graduates of Upper Darby Senior High School) -- so this wouldn't be atypical.

Your reading of those photos is a little harsh, Ken. I read him as pretty shy and awkward in the infamous three-on-the-bed shot. As for the one where he's got two beers, obviously he's gallantly offered to get up and get one of the girls a beer.

This photo brings out the Wayne's vulnerability. Come on, he doesn't look boorish at all here:

At this point, I actually do find myself interested in Diehl's world in all of its pretty vapidity. Apart from the Slayer shirt that the guy with Laurel (whom I still can't ID) is wearing, I never would've guessed that all of these guys seem to be into metal first and foremost. (Their girlfriends and other female friends they associate with mostly listen to Top 40.)

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 2 February 2006 14:44 (eighteen years ago) link

No, no its not.

Stalkerdom is when you enter into someone else's world uninvited. Like if killy were to actually go and show this picture - or any of the related others - to someone at the KOP Hooters or West Chester to see if we could get some more info.

As it is, any of the info we've gathered has simply been by taking advantage of the information THEY posted in the PUBLIC domain about themselves. We've just had a bit more fun than usual b/c we have nothing better to do during the day.

I find nothing inherently wrong about this. I find it quite amusing.

i knew a guy just like him, who's from Greenback, Tennessee
i met him at a cafe, it was a gig in old city
he didn't like his hometown, where every crack's a ho.
but he is stuck there in greenback, cos there's nowhere else to go.

he was once in love with a girl, it was her sweet 13
her papa offered him cash to leave, so he'd never be seen
our hero took the money, and had these words to tell
"well ah'm taking yaah money, but ah'm taking yaah girl as well!"

the story somehow turned, into something about his hand
as was talking his hand would suddenly extend
over the face of this girl, who was terrified to bits
to this date i still don't know the reason for any of it

as he was telling the story, a man had chipped his tooth
when our hero saw this, he had his shirt removed
revealing on his belly, as smooth and bright as the moon
"well i've been injured as well, here's a gunshot wound!"

as for the threesome, you might be on something here... but on the other hand, she shows some jealousy ("only in her dreams cause ur my man") so that doesn't fit too well with a threesome.

First and foremost: older brother music dominates. But, since we are where we are, older bro is not turning you on to obscure 90s indie or whatever, he is turning you on to what "Wolfy," his older buddy, turned HIM onto when he was in 9th grade. Which means that you're getting this weird trickle down effect that ensure that bands that were big in the early 90s are STILL popular and canonical today.

Also: Sublime. How could I forget?!?!

The middle girl is Megan, is she not? So we know quite a bit about her, since she posted a fair amount on the iraq site. She and Diehl used to work at McDonalds. (She went back there while Diehl was in Iraq and said "it wasn't the same" there without him). She moved out of home and shared an apartment with Laurel for a while (her mother had "didn't want her around" anymore. As for Laurel we at least know she used to live with Megan. (And that she might have been involved in a threeway with Megan and Diehl.) But as for Wayne, WE KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, EVEN AFTER 800 POSTS OF MUSING.

ears, nose, eyes and facial hair are very similar. the spaciness in the eyes especially made me think it's wayne. and they're at the local drinking place that laurel talked about. but the hair loss and the eyebrows (seem fuller and better groomed in the first picture) make me doubt it. could be wayne's older brother?

what IS wayne doing with two beers in this? http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/Diehls-Party/andy_loftus

Oh man - I saw this maneuver executed so many times an boston area high school parties circa 1992ish. It's has both pragmatic and symbolic value. Generally attempted at large parties, it says: I've got two so i won't have to go back to the stash too soon, aren't I clever - and I AM SO READY TO PARTY THAT I HAVE TWO BEERS!

Wayne would drink the top one while holding them both in one hand. When he discards the empty from the top, the other one is ready to take it's place.

I've never seen this technique employed at such a small gathering (where it would be so easy to get another beer). I'd say it's Wayne's way of signifying his party guy status.

This would seem to put the Wayne as shy-guy theory to rest - unless he's just aping the habits of his more socially successful peers in an attempt to fit in at this event in which he is clearly an outsider.

two weeks pass...

so i did a google search for this thread and in the top left corner of the results page, above the results is something about citations next to an image of a scroll (rolled up piece of paper w/ a band around it). next to the scroll is:

- by Resnick - 41 citations
- by Siegel - 14 citations
- by Morris - 20 citations

has this happened w/ anyone else's google searches? so far it's only happened on this one, and none of the other things i've googled today.

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 20:29 (eighteen years ago) link

It happened to me. Here's the first search result:

Tieteelliset artikkelit haulle so not gonna happen
Reasoning in Conversation - by Resnick - 41 citations
The Motives of Gay Men for Taking or Not Taking the HIV ... - by Siegel - 14 citations
Vote. com - by Morris - 20 citations

"Tieteelliset artikkelit haulle..." = Finnish for "scientific articles for search...".

Hey Roxy, the one thing that's bugging me after reading this whole thread is this:

Is your friend who sent you the original picture the guy with the DMusic account? And he found the original one hosted on diehliniraq.com? That DMusic page was a major red herring, but obviously essential to the thread's drama build-up/magic/best-evah-ness.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 29 September 2006 08:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe wayne is bored of being left at peace, Tuomas. Every night he attends a different a party, trying to break out, drinking two beers with two ladies in bed, hanging out with the rugby lads.

Yet, every time, when the enthusiasm dies, only disappointment remains, he's left at peace again, there will be the awkwardness, there will be the cigarette hand covering his face, try as he may to break out, to push with his fatty right palm, there's always a muscular arms with rawk \m/ hand pushing him down.

If you ask me, doing something like that is not showing mercy, do you know the pain of living without a dream? Knowing you're not needed by anyone?

Oh fuck it, do you SEE the blue eyeshadow on the girl on the far right? And the salon-set prom hair? Those girls are about as Jersey Italian as it gets, in the worst subcultural sense.

bbbbut the eyeshadow matches her dress!!!

i think grady has something with the 'this needs to go public' idea. too bad diehliniraq no longer lives.

But then what about the hair? Permanently frozen due to shock?

― nathalie, Monday, 10 September 2007 08:17 (sixteen years ago) link

i've seen dudes with hair like that -- i would, since i live in northern new jersey & the NY metro area is, like, ground-zero for that kinda shit.

i've NEVER seen that kind of oompa-loompaish orange skin, not on a young guy anyway -- i've seen some older women who look almost that orangeish, though.

In Japan it wasn't that uncommon for a while. It was almost that orange, but not quite. Still looked quite daft.

http://www.erugbynews.com/goffonrugby/archive/member/2006/allamericans0662806.htm

"Someone like Ryan Diehl from Temple," said Smyth. "He just had a great weekend and was very industrious. He put his hand up and that's why you have the all star championships, to find players like that."

The excitement phase (also known as the arousal phase or initial excitement phase) is the first stage of the human sexual response cycle. It occurs as the result of any erotic physical or mental stimulation, such as kissing, petting, or viewing erotic images, that lead to sexual arousal. During the excitement stage, the body prepares for coitus, or sexual intercourse, in the plateau phase.

I see exackly what you mean Henry. There's nothing but ironing, really. I see Michel's submerging himself into bath-houses and acid as a response in the same way to the same question. The Impossibility of Fucking Ironically, and a world of knowledge that can only be acquired experientially and tries to get outside of the filters of "acquired" or "academic" learning.

man, I think he really did die :(

just look at the facebook links in jaymc's post. Wayne (real name Tom L0ftus) is friends with Ryan D1ehl and Jim L0ftus, and he lives in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania.

Thomas J. L0ftus, 57, of Upper Darby (formerly of Havertown) died in 2012 and was survived by his sons, Thomas S. and James P. L0ftus.

this church bulletin from Sacred Heart Church in Havertown mentions a March 21, 2014 mass held in honor of Thomas & Tommy L0ftus. a later bulletin mentions another mass held in honor of them (this one dated November 18, 2014). it would be unusual for a church service to be held in honor of a deceased man and one of his surviving sons, so Thomas and Tommy are most likely both deceased, and Tommy is most likely our Wayne L0ftus.

I could be totally wrong about all this, but it would be quite a coincidence if so.

there was a similar bulletin from March which also listed Thomas and Tommy under Mass Intentions, so the November one couldn't have been for Tommy recently dying or anything. but the OP of the revive saying RIP Wayne doesn't bode well.

Could those masses be for the Thomas who died in 2012 and HIS father, who seems also to be called Thomas? (clutching st straws here...)

well, the grandfather (Thomas J. L0ftus) died in 2011, so that's a possibility, although it would be somewhat belated in the elder Thomas's case.

this is some interesting food for thought, Hammer Smashed Bagels — thanks!!!!! if Tommy is Wayne, then maybe the mass was offered for him because he had a lingering illness (or he was overseas, or...). but I still think it would be unusual to request a mass intention for a deceased person and a living person simultaneously.

obviously this all hinges on WaynesCrew610's "R.I.P. Wayne", so hopefully he'll come back and clear things up. apologies if my internet detective skills aren't up to snuff.

You guys were right. Loftus was a great dude and us, his friends, are a bunch of cunts. He was the kind of dude that would do anything for anyone and loved to make people laugh, often at his own expense. He was obsessed with this thread and would call us up when there was a rather amusing comment or picture left on here. We're sure he was just happy to be a source of entertainment for so many people. He was talented and caring and we were all lucky to call ourselves his friend. More to come guys, before Diehl found this thread again we had already planned on meeting up this weekend so when we get together, we'll figure out some good stuff to post here. Cheers!

Nah, they didn't ask us to keep quiet, but it just felt weird posting about it since I didn't know how it would turn out. Also, I was interviewed in February 2015, so for a while, I wasn't sure if it was even going to come out at all.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 13 October 2016 18:31 (seven years ago) link

Though I kinda feel they exaggerate the obsession over "Wayne" in this thread (and yeah, I know I'm not exacly unbiased here), they basically say it's been going on for 10 years and people are still reviving it and wondering what happened to the guy, and they conveniently ignore the fact that it was mostly revived to talk about other "so not gonna happen" pics, not about the original dude.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 13 October 2016 18:35 (seven years ago) link

i think it cut to the bone for me thinking about m4riss4 and b1mbl3, but i think the podcast is really well presented regardless if the listeners knows of ilxor or not

Really interesting listen.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 13 October 2016 18:40 (seven years ago) link

Do we even have the original photo anywhere in this thread anymore?

― how's life, Thursday, 13 October 2016 18:40 (seven years ago) link

From what I remember about the original pic, it was interesting to overanalyse it for a few days, but to me it was mostly just this fun Sherlockian game, trying to deduce as much as possible from the few details we had available. I didn't really care about "Wayne" or what he represents, and when the other pics were discovered and it became more clear what was going on in the original one, I lost interest in the whole thing, because the game was finished. I certainly didn't spend years afterwards wondering what happened to the guy, though maybe some other people who participated here did?

(SPOILERS FOR THE PODCAST FOLLOW, BE WARNED!)

To be honest, I found the whole justfication for faking "Wayne's" death to be a bit suspect. I mean, according to the podcast guy, his friends did it so ILX would stop cyber-harassing him or something... But if you actually look at this thread, the discussion around "Wayne" mostly dies around 2007, and after that most of the thread revivals are about totally different pics, with only a handful of "Wayne" posts (mostly by Gr8080) in the next 8 years.

And then "WayneCrew610" posts the news about his "death" in January 2015, even though no one in this thread has even mentioned him since 2013. So unless there was some stalking going on outside the thread (which I guess is possible), the idea that they'd nobly fake their friend's death to protect him from harassment, even though it had actually stopped years ago, seems suspect.

And then you have Jaymc saying he was interviewed for the podcast in February 2015 (i.e. soon after the first post by "WaynesCrew"), and someone else says it has been on the works for "years". So maybe "WaynesCrew" only came to post here only after the podcast folks had contacted them... Which means that they created the story for their podcast themselves.

To be clear, I didn't mean to imply the podcast folks actually told "Wayne's" friends to fake his death, just that maybe the friends decided to do that after the some weird people had tried to contact them so that they could find "Wayne" and interview him.

The podcast implies it's the former, but of course it could actually be the latter, and they just tried to come up with justification that'd make them look better.

Still, the whole idea that a bunch of people would lie about their friend having died, even in real life face-to-face conversation, just because some cyber-stalking happened many years ago, seems pretty weird. I can't imagine anyone I know doing that.

This is so weird. I've never seen this picture - but I know the girl to the right. I worked with her for 3 years, and dated her roommate for a long time, but didn't recognize any of the other people mentioned in the podcast. The name they gave for her in the show is her legal name, but not the name she goes by (at least not when I knew her).

One minor detail that bugged me in the podcast: they use the Nolan Painting ad as proof that "Wayne" is still alive. But the ad was put to Youtube September 2014, and "Wayne" was supposed to have died in March of that year... The ad uses a lot of different photos, and "Wayne" only appears very briefly in one of them, on the far edge of one large group shot. That photo could've easily been taken before March; with a crew of that size, it's perfectly possible no one even noticed the pic includes someone who later died, or they wanted to use the shot anyway. So it's not really a proof of anything, their big CSI moment feel unearned.

lol and the best part was that he doesn't really hang with these guys anymore. they were into the whole weird thread investigation in a way TL wasn't, maybe because of the fact they were in the party pictures. writing him out of the story with the fake death almost seems like a "fuck you" to the ilxors who were really trying to figure things out -- why were we still going on about this one dude who they barely even talk to anymore?

the entire part where they were somewhat shocked about people doing this sort of investigative work about a picture they were curious about in 2006 kind of made me think, "whaaaaat?" it just got a lot easier post-google. back in the late 90s when you were trying to unravel these things it was more of a "well, he's wearing a shirt for a group at this college, maybe they have a website and I can look at all the images and get a name, and then maybe the school has a student directory I can look at, and then that gets me an email address that I can uh... search for on usenet? maybe they post on newsgroups"

haha jk

jaymc is correct, when the waynescrew610 posts showed up in january of last year, i told a few ppl who no longer post to ilx regularly but whom i still communicated with and knew would appreciate the development, s1ocki included. s1ocki had been the subject of a story on the reply all guys' previous venture (a show called TLDR) and sent them the story idea. at this point Reply All was a nascent but solid podcast that i was listening to regularly and i agreed with s1ocki that this was a story they could tell the way it deserved to be told.

PJ emailed me and i agreed to a taped interview under the condition that i would not be the only ilxor they interviewed and that they wouldn't air the story without participation from tommy's friends. i didn't want to participate in a story that was just about an ilx thread and/or my obsession with it.

with their permission, i put Sruthi in touch with roxy & jaymc. i also sent a facebook message to pplains asking if he'd be interested, but sadly he never replied.

in april of last year i did a pair of interviews with PJ that combined lasted more than two hours. the 2nd of which was done in a public radio studio here in chicago with a hired engineer manning the recording while i listened to PJ in my headphones from NYC. at one point about 45 minutes in, we had to take a break for some technical reason on PJ's end as soon as we did the engineer was like "LET ME SEE THAT PHOTO I AM DYING TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE" (i really hoped that would make it on the final edit.)

Over the last 18 months i've heard very little from PJ or Sruthi, just an email here and there, assuring me that while the show was on the back-burner, they weren't giving up on it. up until a few weeks ago, the last i heard was that they weren't having much luck emailing tommy's friends and that PJ had family near Upper Darby and was going to head down there to see if he could track anyone down. i’d pretty much given up on it ever happening.

then late last month Sruthi emailed and said they were almost done with the episode and asked me to answer a few clarifying questions. another week later, i had a fact-checking call with her and another staffer that lasted almost an hour where they laid out the way they were framing the ilx side of the story. she told me that "researching your life" had become an inside joke among their staff. at one point i was like "hey but what about the church bulletin that unregistered found? are you going to mention that?" and sruthi said something like "grady... i have called every catholic church within a 15 mile radius of upper darby, but the current edit of the story does not mention it." that was the point when i knew they had really spent some time on the story and while obviously in editing it all down a load of details were going to be cast aside, but they weren't going to present it haphazardly. they assured me that they did speak with tommy's friends but weren't given permission to record them. aside from that she remained very tight-lipped about what they found out or how the story would be told.

so i hit play on the podcast yesterday morning thinking that tommy loftus was dead. i was almost as in the dark as the general audience and enjoyed every minute of it. i really love how it ended up being way less about ilx or even this thread and more about PJ falling under the same spell many of us did a decade ago and getting to the end that none of us could find.

its funny, the last year and a half has been a time when i've finally sort of semi-permanently stopped engaging with ilx on a regular basis, and i think that talking to a non-ilxor at great depth about a facet of ilx that i really let consume me at times might have been the beginning of that disengagement.

i've really enjoyed seeing the varying responses here, ... just like ::antonio banderas gif:: "ah, some things never change". i felt a wistful tear come to my eye reading the last few posts from tuomas.

it looks like based on the reddit thread already linked itt and the replies on twitter, their listeners really loved the story too.

most of all, it was such a delight to hear tommy himself. I’m glad he’s alive and well and I hope this isn’t the last we hear of him, but would be totally at peace if it were.

I didn't think it was transparently false, but nor did I think that it was definitely true. Kind of thought that trutherism without evidence was very insensitive *if* he had actually died, but now it is clear that they were gathering evidence, they were just waiting to unleash it. Also I love a story and I love ambiguity, so the truth values of the story being told are always slightly less important to me.

Wayne never existed, just a legend of Wayne, which being false = that's what "R.I.P. Wayne" meant.

Or ILX got punk'd.

But I listened self-reflectively. As a on-and-off again ilxor, I've embarrassed myself by obsessing over trolls (Wagemannnnn, etc.) and harassment (hi dere bela fleck), so the a lot of my cringe effect was me looking at younger version of myself and "what if a small group of ilxors I've annoyed over the years took aim at my life."

Web 1.0 analysis = self analysis, for me. Anything to become less of a dick, and if Thomas is happy being in the limelight, then :-)

Thanks for elaborating gr8080! I think y'all did really well on the podcast. (Good to hear they thoroughly researched it w/ fact checks and follow up interviews too)

It is strange, seeing something so quintessentially ilx outside of the board and in the ~real world~ like this. I would probably have had the same epiphany gr8080 had when he was contacted by the show, or so I'd like to believe. That, mixed with quite some embarrassment. Which is not a bad thing. Rather a mirror being held up that could not possibly have happened within the ilx universe.

Thomas being ok and well is teh raddest.

No no. I agree that this is extremely fascinating and interesting. I was intrigued when I heard the podcast. I was just wondering if anyone was angry about the death hoax, since sometimes that's how people react. It's difficult to gauge an internet community, and I just didn't know how y'all felt about it.

― The times they are a changing, perhaps (map), Friday, 14 October 2016 20:24 (seven years ago) link

Personally I'm not at all angry about the hoax. As people said above, the hoax part is only from, like, last year I think? And although I was sad about the possibility of it being true I don't think anyone was personally affected by it. We've had active members of the board die, so an object of a protomeme is not going to have the same impact. And it's not like this whole messageboard is about the picture and we thought about it every day - this place is huge and we have many other petty things to talk about. If you're new you probably haven't had a chance to participate in polling every single fucking list from every single fucking music magazine yet. (NB even though I think this is ridiculous I generally like the ILM polls and certainly don't begrudge anyone polling anything they want to, unlike some of the hardline grouches here.)

Finished listening a few minutes ago, and now I've been going back over the thread. I was still strictly ILM-only in 2006, so I missed the original frenzy, but I got up to speed later on.

I agree with someone upthread who said you don't have to know anything about the thread or even ILX to think that was a remarkable podcast episode. I applaud the considerable amount of work they put into it.

― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 15 October 2016 05:26 (seven years ago) link

My wife knows Roxy and Nijoli casually IRL but has never been an ilxor. I have occasionally shown her ILX classix, like Bloomps and this thread. She is also a Reply All fan and likes to listen while doing her morning yoga, which she was doing this morning when this came on. She came into the bedroom to tell me and I said "You mean the photo [Roxy IRL] posted?" She hadn't realized that connection, so now she's all worlds-colliding.

Just listened to the podcast, I think I would've enjoyed it even without the ILX angle. But having followed the thread for 10 years it's pretty weird to have it exist now in another arena.

The transcript is a rich lode of board descriptions, but this is my favorite: " Just picture pages and pages of black text on a white background; everybody’s trying to outdo each other."

I love this reddit comment so much

jjm7000 8 points 3 days ago
Here's a link to the entire message board, if anyone was curious to see. They seem to be freaking out a bit over the podcast release haha.

...because it implies that the So Not Gonna Happen thread is a self-contained, niche-interest message board entirely devoted to that one photo. Wayne's whereabouts have never been far from our minds, but over the past 10 years we've forged friendships and marriages, written SNGH fanfics, indulged in semi-off-topic chitchat to pass the time ("Wayne would definitely be a Trump backer!") and organized meetups complete with SMDH tableau vivants and King of Prussia Hooters pilgrimages. but now we're in a state of turmoil because the Reply All podcast has not only solved the one mystery that made our community worth sustaining, it has also forced us to engage with Reddit and Twitter for the first time, thus spoiling the purity of one of the last isolated pockets of uncontacted Web 1.0 holdouts. sad!

― hippie lady from california who loves that god (unregistered), Sunday, 16 October 2016 21:06 (seven years ago) link

I also wonder if all these 19-year-old Redditors (and even the producers of the podcast) have any real concept of message board culture apart from what they've picked up from off-topic Roblox and Club Penguin forums. I guess ilx is as alien to them as Usenet was to me when I was that age.

finally listened to this. was dreading it a bit. but was quickly drawn in, on the edge of my seat with each development. found myself oddly touched by the very end though. wayne sounds like a for-real okay dude. i'm glad his life has gone well, and i'm glad this thread didn't like, give him a complex or something. seems like it maybe even gave him a couple of laughs to the extent that he thought about it at all.

i think when i very first saw the thread i was laughing at wayne while kidding myself that it wasn't. i'm about his age though and i have some bleak dorm-room-era photos from disposable cameras, that probably would strike some similar notes to strangers. now i think, hey, y'know, i'm trying to make improvements on my life, i look back fondly to college times even though i think i'm a bit happier and wiser now. me and wayne, we're doing the best we can and life is basically okay. in that sense, it "happened" for us all.

how on earth does a podcast "rerun"

how the hell did "think" turn into "they're"

― mh, Thursday, 31 May 2018 20:32 (five years ago) link

I mean, you could ask how a television show could have reruns in the era of on-demand television but it's the same thing: a lot of people consume the media as a chronological, episodic thing. So anyone not digging through a podcast backlog and just listening to this week's from a feed will get the reruns

― mh, Thursday, 31 May 2018 20:35 (five years ago) link

how on earth does a story "reprint"

― we used to get our kicks reading surfing MAGAzines (sic), Thursday, 31 May 2018 20:54 (five years ago) link

imo it’s a reasonable question for digital media when scarcity is artificial and there’s no real difference quantitatively between grabbing this week’s episode and one from two years ago

― mh, Friday, 1 June 2018 01:07 (five years ago) link

The only one in my subscription that routinely does that is This American Life, but that's because it coincides with the NPR broadcast for a given week and they rerun old episodes sometimes. Reply All has been known to do it every once in a while too, but I think it's because their format is so single-serving. I mean, it would be weird if Five Thirty Eight had reruns, but it doesn't seem strange for Reply All to?

I hear quite a lot of podcast reruns on TAL and Planet Money. Sometimes it takes me a while to realise I've heard them before; sometimes I'm happy to be reminded.

― Alba, Friday, 1 June 2018 04:59 (five years ago) link

the episode number is always a clear indicator in the TAL feed, and sometimes their "re-runs" are 60% new and updated material anyway

― we used to get our kicks reading surfing MAGAzines (sic), Friday, 1 June 2018 07:50 (five years ago) link

Oh yeah, I mean I almost always know they're reruns – I sometimes just don't know for a while whether they're reruns of episodes I've heard before or not.

― Alba, Friday, 1 June 2018 08:42 (five years ago) link

I think the idea is that most people who listen to podcasts subscribe to them? So even if you don't have a new episode ready for this week you can dump an old one on the feed and get a certain number of downloads to justify your ad rates.

― President Keyes, Friday, 1 June 2018 13:52 (five years ago) link

That's true to an extent, though there are a surprising number of podcast listeners who do not download or subscribe - they just Google and press "play" on the first page they get to

i was talking about ilxor with a friend who has never posted here and he literally brought this podcast up as the primary thing he knew about it. this thread is internet legendary in its reach.

i think that dude is actually more attractive than the two young women. they're the ones who missed out.

ilxs real legacy is turning a bunch of posters into professional writers

― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2023 16:33 (one year ago) link

its funny seeing like the hundredth oral history of something awful and then none of the writers who got their start through ilx ever mention it, a dark industry secret

― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2023 16:35 (one year ago) link

I thought it turned a bunch of professional writers into posters, tbh.

Jesus if there’s ever an oral history of ilx out there in the discourse I’m taking a month off

By which I mean a month off work so I can be on here 24/7 obv

lmao

In reality, though, I usually stay on or around the computer. There's a message board I visit--http://www.ilxor.com. It started as a music discussion site but now it's just sort of general-purpose. I shouldn't let anyone know I post there, since I've said so many embarrassing things there over the years, like that Joanna Newsom is a better rapper than Ghostface Killah. That one sticks with me, because, Jesus, who would say something like that? But most of the people who post to the site are really smart and funny, and it can be a good source of stories and videos.

i mean i'll say this for ilx, it kept me off 4chan

also kept me off every other discourse site. i don't know if it's a good or bad thing. i expect at some point ilx and every post i made here will disappear, and at that point about three people will know that i was ever on the internet. i'm not sure if that would be the case if i'd been on, like, twitter.

― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 11 May 2023 18:50 (one year ago) link

It's Tulane, of course it's gonna happen.

― pplains, Saturday, 9 September 2023 20:56 (eight months ago) link

I can't believe all you guys think it's gonna happen, the guy in the middle has such a perfect expression of "here I am, surrounded by ladies, a ladies' man, who will be my prize tonight" and he's so plainly gonna go home and play PS5 at the end of the night! Or at least that's how it looks to me. Tulane or no Tulane!

The guy in the back with the backwards ballcap, I dunno, maybe has a shot.

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 9 September 2023 22:13 (eight months ago) link

BTW one thing I like about this picture is how the woman on the right is basically the same person as the woman on the right in the original picture, except now she's holding a blue phone instead of a blue soda can.

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 9 September 2023 22:15 (eight months ago) link

The woman in the original picture could be her mother!

i'm trying to work out where the young lady on the right keeps her phone

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 11 September 2023 07:49 (eight months ago) link

In her hands at all times probably

Dude in the middle is looking in the distance (at someone ?), giving him the appearance of being disinterested. But overall seems to be enjoying the company and maybe positioned himself in the middle. I think the girls are just talking to each other though, not competing for guy. I mean, girl on his left could be the gf, who knows.
