Wow, Matt. Thanks!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:28 (twenty years ago) link

Andrew, are you stalking me online now? You know my sordid Usenet troll past! *SIGH*

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:29 (twenty years ago) link

I love both mode Dans, but the serious one puts the jokey one into brilliant relief

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:29 (twenty years ago) link

I'm still recovering from that fucking Matthew Barney thread. I haven't been able to talk about nuttin' smart for days. And that one about Bush is just damn depressing. Dick, pussy and ass jokes recharge the ol' batteries! I thank god for you, you vulgar motherfuckers.

(I'm still reeling, guys. Thanks.)

Andrew, are you stalking me online now?

If you're going to say things like "I'm undetectable on Usenet" without typing your name into Google Groups, you get what's coming to you.

You know my sordid Usenet troll past!

You wish - I know your stolid a.f.g-h FAQKeeper past.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:53 (twenty years ago) link

Did you actually read that thing? I think I claimed to BE Geri Halliwell in it. Do a search for Ron Traino and you'll see the light.

I'm obviously not undetectable on Usenet and also any one of these fuckers could actually tell the name that I posted 99.9% of my Usenet shit under! I just trust my compadres not to sell me out to the mang.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:56 (twenty years ago) link

THIS IS NOT ABOUT SERIOUS, DRY THREADS vs JOKEY THREADS.

I love jokey threads. But my favourites are the ones that make you think and laugh.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:18 (twenty years ago) link

Dan in serious mode is a Wonderful Man. In jokey mode, he takes it all to the stage. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:28 (twenty years ago) link

Ditto.

I just trust my compadres not to sell me out to the mang.

So I'm the mang now? Fabulous.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:32 (twenty years ago) link

You're the mang now dog!

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:43 (twenty years ago) link

OH MY GOD ALLY!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:48 (twenty years ago) link

Ally isn't YOUR god, she's everyone's.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:49 (twenty years ago) link

ally akbar!

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:56 (twenty years ago) link

I think ILE has become too Ally. ;-)

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:58 (twenty years ago) link

Never such a thing!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:08 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe someone should start a “this is a thread for posts that DID NOT make you laugh out loud /I don’t get this joke-please explain it my sorry self -sob sob bang bang ouch that was my head...”

― kephm, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:18 (twenty years ago) link

B-but Kate! I started an ILE thread for you once! :-)

When I first visited (uh, lurked on) ILE, I felt like I was at this party and didn't know everyone. But lots of the folks looked really cool and I wanted to chat them up and become bestest buddies with them. So then I got up the courage to start posting and now I can post messages to people by name and know a bit about them and their personality. It's fun stuff. I should hope it's like that for most new people.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:20 (twenty years ago) link

I think ILE has become too Ally. ;-)

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:22 (twenty years ago) link

The Ragget wink should give away that this statement was joke!

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:28 (twenty years ago) link

The RaggetT wink is even more accurate!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:30 (twenty years ago) link

Why is it that whenever people talk about comical things, they invoke the Raggett winkie?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:31 (twenty years ago) link

*insert comment here, or just let it dangle*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:32 (twenty years ago) link

Stop being so serious, Dan. ;-)

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:32 (twenty years ago) link

This will probably sound more offensive than I indended (IE at all), but I think people like Ally, Ned, Dan who have a big cartoon personality alongside their normal "personal" personality are a big help in getting new people to feel at home. They're easy interaction.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:45 (twenty years ago) link

HOORAY I'M EASY

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:48 (twenty years ago) link

Sheesh, Raggeett, people misspell my surname all the time: In Praise of Kate St. Clair but you don't see me getting all uppity about it!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:50 (twenty years ago) link

That thread again: In Praise of Kate St. Clair

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:52 (twenty years ago) link

(only joking, I heart Kate and should have added her to the list above)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:54 (twenty years ago) link

NNeedd RRaaggggeetttt.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:57 (twenty years ago) link

I love that thread so much I don't even care that they misspelled my name on it. But I get the feeling that if I started a thread called "Neg Ragget I Love You, I Would Like To Paint Your Toenails I Love You So Much" that all he would do would be get on the thread and say "Fi, you scoundrels, you have misspelled my name, away with ye" and flounce off.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:00 (twenty years ago) link

my posts are always the same, I am the universal constant.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:02 (twenty years ago) link

That was a typo. Of course I can spell Ned's name! Feel free to call me Marcole or Garcole in retaliation.

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:02 (twenty years ago) link

this thread has become too pally.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:06 (twenty years ago) link

Oh but Ms. Kate, it is a sore point with me, as I've gotten so many mispronounciations and misspellings since I was small. :-( The secret with Larcole is to add the 'h'.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:07 (twenty years ago) link

Kate is painting Ned's toenails: Yes, ILE is too pally.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:09 (twenty years ago) link

Dude, they spelled my name wrong in the NME. (When it was good.) Everyone misspells my name. It doesn't matter that it's not really mine. It's got to the point where I am amused by the endless permutations and HOW MANY DIFFERENT WAYS there are to misspell my name.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:10 (twenty years ago) link

Yay cartoon personality! Dan and I should sing "Easy Lover."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:10 (twenty years ago) link

To me, you are now Cate Sinclair.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:14 (twenty years ago) link

as seen in that one Encyclopedia Brown

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:16 (twenty years ago) link

We should rope in JF and start a new band - The Cartoon Personalities.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:17 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, these pally threads make me feel left out. Well, not really.

― Mandee, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:21 (twenty years ago) link

I hate easy interaction.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:01 (twenty years ago) link

you like stilted conversations and awkward silences??

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:03 (twenty years ago) link

I am the fat dude at the end of the table who looks like he wants to cry.

― Mandee, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:07 (twenty years ago) link

I like how the Hand from the Addams Family was invited to that party.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:08 (twenty years ago) link

I honestly haven't posted to an intellectual thread ever. Perhaps its because I consider myself outclassed. Or perhaps I think that if I did post something rather than typical Chris V. banter would I be taken seriously? Im not sure. Actually, i lied I probably posted to an intellectual thread once or twice, but it probably involved a shit joke. Unfortunately, in real life I am nothing like my alter ego.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:13 (twenty years ago) link

my name isn't really Chris either.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:16 (twenty years ago) link

Right, it's Poops McGee!
