Only if I can call you Richey James.

I dunno, sorry, I missed the conversation that made this board split off and be founded, cause, well, of all the shit going on in my life yesterday.

I know that some people get really annoyed at all the personal chatter on That Other Board. But, if the topic always comes back to music (as it usually does) *I* don't personally have a problem with it. But I know some people do, so whatever.

Damn, better go, Paul is home. Maybe will talk more later...

Who is this Richey James? Is this your nickname for Rick James?

Anyway, this is what the Clash look like today. Warning!

Hopefully someone can make this into an active link.

THIS is who that Richey James is.

I just want to make it *totally* clear that this board is meant IN NO WAY to rival ILM, or as a snub to Tom or anyone else. In fact it's meant to complement FT/ILM. Prompted by the chat/fora suggestions thread and various questions that have popped up from time to time I thought it might be a good idea to set up a sister board. Go have a look; there are many questions about favourite books, kid's tv programmes and other non-music related stuff that people have put up probably because they would like to know and perhaps value the opinions of the ILM crowd, but sadly those questions don't fit into the ILM mandate. So, I thought, why not have a board for the ILM community to talk about other stuff so as not to piss anyone off. This may be a generalisation, but we all seem to be (pop) culture junkies, and of course that encompasses *so much* that isn't music. Some topics will naturally overlap, hence the (proposed) link with FT/ILM. Sorry to go on a bit, but I realised after I'd started this it may look like I'm sticking two fingers up at Tom or trying to muscle my way on to the FT crew, both of which are NOT TRUE. Cheers for reading this...now on with the bitching! :-)

But can we still bitch about how boring I personally find the board to be nowadays? I mean, as I said before, I am clearly the most interesting person on the planet and therefore my opinions are most important, and I'd really like to just go on and on.

I'd like to think it's obvious everyone is kidding (mostly) :)

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh yeah, bitch about ILM as much as you like if you want to, but I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that the reason for starting this board wasn't to rival ILM.

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'd rather not bitch about them in the end anyhow because it totally takes away time I could be spending talking about how hot I am.

I wonder how much I rile people up by posting shit I don't even believe. I look really nice right now though, too bad I'm wasting it ON THE INTERNET while my sleepy pothead roommate gets dressed and drinks coffee.

I realized today that the only reason I like Richey is because he has all the same problems as me but much worse, plus the same opinions and we even have vaguely similar eyes and grins, so when I talk about him it's like talking about myself, which is so fantastic. If Fabio was just like me, I'd probably love him too.

My mom believes there are a race of aliens that look like Fabio. She claims they are democrats. Did you know the Bat Boy has the hots for Jenna Bush?

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

No, but I do now. Besides, there's no point bitching about ILM, we're not jumping ship and if you offend anyone you'll have to go crawling back to them.

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I crawl back to no one, my friend. No one.

― Ally, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I reckon Ally will break the 100 posts here by Tuesday.

― james e l, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

That's my goal, cowboy.

― Ally, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

this is getting fucked now, when i get in work at 9am i've got all my e-mails to catch up on, everyones blogs, two message boards and my own site to update. its, like, nearly lunch before i get through it all. then its off to the pub for dinner, by the time i get back i've got to do the whole thing again.

its lucky i don't actually have any work to do, although people are going to get suspicious if i start asking for more overtime. talking about this shit on double time seems a'right tho...

― gareth, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I sympathize. Weekends might provide more time for me all around but beyond that... Admittedly I have no blog (see here as to why), but running six mailing lists takes its own work. ;-)

ally - we bow and kiss your corns...130 posts and runnin'

― Geoff, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dude, I totally do not have any foot deformities like that. Except for the one that broke that i never fixed up properly that's a bit twisted now. Other than that, pff. And yeah, I love that I have so many posts already, and I'm hardly ever on here! It's awesome, I type super duper fast so it takes me like 5 minutes to write 40 crap posts.

― Ally, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I love the fact that I'm like almost double the number of posts as the next nearest contributor.

― Ally, Wednesday, 20 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Now you know how it feels to make a forum your bitch.

― Tom, Wednesday, 20 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Tom and Ally: message board pimps.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 20 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

YES!!! I have finally inched ahead of Tom in posts to this board. OK, so I still have to double my score to match Ally, but still. I'm proud of beating Tom. ;-)

You get theme music if you're a message board pimp, don't you?

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 20 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I call dibs on Da Funk.

one month passes...

I just attended an exhibition of student art works at my university. One of the artist's names: A1is0n K34rn3y. Ally, if you got rid of an "l", you could be the darling of the avant-garde!

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh, how do you know the extra 'l' in Ally isn't for show, like the 'y' is? I never posted that my named was Allison Kearney, that was Otis.
