BEST THREAD ON ILX: Part TWO - The Poll

Because Shade Tippin is my favorite thread.

i am down with 'so not gonna happen' initally tho but maybe where it really takes off is where i jump off. i mean i think it's funny enough before all the actual detective work comes in.

im glad that thread and gear's thread are the only ones in receipt of scrutiny here, and they are the only two threads on the poll that i think are actually funny

Gear's couch & roommate 4eva. I'm kinda bummed that nobody nominated the "Rough Guide to..." group of threads on ILM. They're what hooked me on this place.

Well, no-one nominates Citizen Kane for best movie anymore, know what I mean?

knocked off the top by Anchorman

So Not Gonna Happen definitely made me want to look at ILX every couple of hours. The more creepy it got the better it got. I was expecting the soldier guy to drop in at any moment and start taking names. That's pretty much as dangerous as ILX gets and it was thrilling. Slightly. I also thought most people were sympathetic to Wayne. Or did I read it wrong?

POLL INVALIDATED BY SHAMEFUL LACK OF INCLUSION OF THIS IS AMAZING

we have all failed.

Yeah, Wayne is the dood.

You could have googleproofed that, you know...

Right, I'm going to read the Smiths thread. See yz later.

hang on, where is it? OK, I voted already, never mind.

OK, carry on with the HOW DID WE FORGET! type entries. 100 and descending, why not?

100. ORNALDO BLOOMPS FOR PRESIDETN

i am proud to say

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

late breaking addition to the poll even though we're out of season

everything good about xmas is contained within this post:

the "tube station at midnight" thread :)

I totally printed out the entirety of the "not gonna happen" thread and read it on the bus going home last night.. then left it and the two pictures still available clipped to it on the bus for some other poor, curious soul to stumble upon.. bwahaha. I am in Toronto, though, not King of Prussia.. I do still want to find out more about "Wayne"!

printing out threads and leaving them somewhere for other people to read = v good as long as it's not 'wdyll in yr underwear'

the "tube station at midnight" thread :)

o crap

Threads look weird printed off - I remember Colette printing off the Roskilde recommendations thread so we could read it on the plane and looking at Ronan and DJ Martian posts on paper just felt a bit off.

LMAO no underwear, nope. I like to leave random lists and such that are compiled to influence random musical tastes.. I do agree, it's very weird to read it all printed off - it's just not right.

i want this shit on a blimp someday

The thing that's so amazing about UPPERS is that it's this huge, awesome, totally wild party where all your troubles are left behind. Bill cosby, anime princesses, Blanka from Street Fighter, Annie and her butler, toddlers, they're all there, all dancing to the same tune. It just works so well as a narrative, too. Halfway through the dudes from Requiem for a Dream are there, gettin’ high, supplying the drugs. As the thread progresses, the party just gets bigger. It's like this amazing paradise where all kinds of freaks, celebrities, and cartoon characters are all welcome, so long as they just get down and dance. A dude's doing yoga in sneakers and khakis, Bjork, J. Timberlake, and snorg girl even show up, albeit fashionably late. Plus there's this really dark part in the middle when Hurricane Katrina steps in, but she's still welcome there and the party continues. I've only been around ILX for a few months, so I wasn't there when it happened but it's still fun to scroll down and see who else is gonna show up. Amazing!

Which is the post everyone calls UPPERS?

it's the one on the poll list right before "so not gonna happen"

may as well post a link:

UPPERS

Thanks so much! Too bad I can't print out the music ;)

btw it is the finest piece of internet art i've ever witnessed

I already forget what I've voted for, but I hope it was "Britney can i get your sister jame spears Email" because it's my favourite right now why because it look intersting

^^^^ sorry about that, before the joke i am serious though

What the... Surely that's the wrong 10-year-olds thread.

Yeah, Tell me about 10-year-old you is better.

I want uppers.wav song.

We also forgot:
The simple joy of stupid spam names

Wow thx Grady!

rice pudding -vs- bread pudding - vs- tapioca pudding -vs- chocolate pudding -vs- flan
Remember the passion!

i think that's true of a lot of them. this thread and the noms one depresses me. it's a bit like doing 'best conversation ever' or something. i don't really read old threads, except for stuff to zing people with.

oteffingm - there's a really unfortunate "gosh, remember that funny time" vibe that feels related to "ahh the great music we listened to in our youth" or whatever

on the other hand, without this thread I wouldn't have seen the uppers one and that thing is awesome
