keep calm and chive on?

someone should send me to this

it looks so pathetic

I would contribute to a fund to send maura

maybe for social curiosity, maybe I just want to pull off a sick burn on maura, you just have to guess

pitch vice a chivefest + legal w33d confluence

i would be the forever alone guy looking on from the back!

you know those women who enthusiastically try out for their local radio station's "rock girl" contest? kind of feel like they'd be down with the chive's ethos

(life-sized game of Operation anybody?)

also they have some social buying pinterest-for-men-startup-thing http://pando.com/2012/09/26/tapiture-is-a-pinterest-for-bros-that-actually-has-a-chance/

we're overlooking the Pamplemousse/SnorgTees aesthetics at play here.

So much in one paragraph:

The Chive’s founders, brothers Leo and John Resig, have so effectively branded a certain kind of lifestyle and identity that the membership, from giving to submitting, does most of the work itself. (Leo Resig declined to comment for this article, though he said he was a “big fan” of The Awl.) They live in Venice, California, and the site's name, by the way, is apparently a contraction of Chicago and Venice; the Resigs were born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They have other interests as well: John Resig is a recurring minor character on "True Blood." Their sisters, Emily and Megan, are the editors of the sister site the Berry, which "gives ladies a much needed one-stop destination to peruse hot male celebs, funny photos, daily gossip, fashion, viral videos and adorable animals," and features an "eye candy" section of dudes in the same space where The Chive features its Chivettes. The Berry gets a bit more than 10% of the traffic of The Chive, according to Quantcast. The company's other sub-sites, The Throttle—pictures of hot cars—and The Brigade—tagline "In 'Merica We Trust," with lots of photos of guns, tanks and uniforms—skew even more male, about 80%, and are about the same size as the Berry.

There Are Sexy ilxors Among Us

non-Ivy college dude mindset

are you fucking kidding me

did the writer go to an ivy or smth

i dare say these chivers have the boorish manners of a yalie

Whoa Eddie sharpe and the mag 'ros, huge get bro

what the fuck is this

this is happening in Seattle this weekend (they got Girl Talk and Washed Out!) but I've seen almost no acknowledgement in any local media. If I hadn't seen maura's tweet I'd never have known about it. (To be fair everyone's busy covering the newly opened weed stores.)

i'd have to say, i'd probably draw the fucking line at playing at Chive Fest. These bands can't possibly be that hard-up, can they?

Not like I'm surprised to see Girl Talk on there tho

Not like I'm surprised to see Girl Talk on there tho

Nobody who's ever been to a Girl Talk show could possibly be surprised by this.

are you fucking kidding me

did the writer go to an ivy or smth

actually u chicago per the author bio

yeah, saw that later. maybe there is secret ivy envy

it is basically an honorary ivy iirc

it is certainly more "ivy" than all but approx. 2 of the actual ivies

but less "chivy" than any of them in my assessment

after careful consideration I would say penn noses out dartmouth as the most chivy ivy

kudos for "chivy ivy"

chive has 1,031,480 likes on facebook and none of them are my friends.

Two of mine like it :(((((((((((((

same here :/

1 of 1,031,585 - a cokehead bartender I haven't seen in 10 years

only one of mine! not totally surprised at who it is.

only one of my friends too. disappointed by who it is, actually.

my godchild, my cousin, a publisher i don't know so well and a deceased music critic who was a really nice guy and a really good writer.
i don't like this game.

i feel like if ilx had a facebook page nobody would "like" it even though people who get into this online community get in deep and rarely escape

should i tell him?

intervene with your godchild. He has lost the faith.

??

i checked and just one, phew. a friend's husband who has always been nice to me and probably has somewhat bad taste in entertainment. good guy.

He has lost the faith.

it's a she. :/

lil' chivette

man that article is depressing. and the author twitter linked at the end of the article seems to have been deleted in the 3 days since it was published?

oh no i guess the @ was just changed

This site seems dumb but I don't get what's so bad about it that people are surprised that bands are taking their money. It's not like they're worse than Budweiser or Toyota or whoever. #trenchantsocialcommentary

None of my friends like Chive! I win the thread.

I'm not on facebook #yougotfaced

yeah if the site is as big as that article says, those bands are probably getting offers that're too good to turn down

possibly enough to buy a boat (I can think of 6 reasons to have one)

isnt' this just a website? how is it so er... subculty?

chivers are when juggalos grow up and get jobs, right?

My wife shared some chive image on fb the other day, but as far as I can tell she was just sharing it from some other fb friend. She has a long-standing crush on Bill Murray though, so who knows, maybe I should just sign her up?

wait until you come home and she makes you play beer pong before you can eat dinner

So the site should have been called Forve, is what I'm reading there.

I have to admit that at first I thought it was about people who really liked to use these in their cooking.

Lugubrious Beard is an alternate universe Penn Jillette where he never meets Teller.

i find i cannot keep calm nor chive on

30 seconds of watching chive tv at the gym sends me into a mood spiral

lol, the television version of muzak

Can’t remember the last time I saw a Jeep Wrangler with a Chive Bill Murray sticker, surprised they still have a TV presence.

CHIVE TV is the first ever TV channel built specifically for businesses. It is now FREE and can only be found on Atmosphere.

hmmm

Hence why so many cheap bars like in the back of bowling alleys that have no need to have television programming run it the most

The Chive feels like it was 100 years ago

In an alternate universe, Gavin McInnes would have become a harmless Chive.

I forgot this existed

I guess this is Barstool now? Or is that different?

barstool is much more explicitly right-wing I believe

That Cocaine Bear movie feels very chive.
