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

Finefinemusic, Friday, 14 September 2007 19:21 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Will M., Friday, 14 September 2007 19:49 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Will M., Friday, 14 September 2007 19:49 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Casuistry, Friday, 14 September 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Remember the passion!

Beth Parker, Saturday, 15 September 2007 03:11 (sixteen years ago) link

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

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!

Fantastic description of what makes that thread so great.

My favorite thread is dental floss.

Abbott, Saturday, 15 September 2007 05:03 (sixteen years ago) link

My favorite thread is the one my sanity is hanging on by.

My life's ambition is to find the thread where CJ gave Mark Sinker advice about exactly how high off the floor his new bed should be, so that he could comfortably read in bed, or something...

Is it the recently revived an entertaining consumer enquiry about BEDS?

The Yellow Kid, Friday, 21 September 2007 05:43 (sixteen years ago) link

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 1 October 2007 00:33 (sixteen years ago) link

no, we want it to be over so we can make fun of the winner and further discount the poll.
