BEST THREAD ON ILX: Part ONE - The Nominations

Gear's Sofa thread definitely.

And I just found this one randomly in I Love Music

Taking sides: Madonna or Janet Jackson?

The middle part is the best!

Ah yeah, that's a legend, that one.

Best non rofflicious thread = the one about the Danish Mohammed cartoons.

the liverpool ticket fiasco is very good

the pirosmani apologies for boorishness was the most enjoyable to post to

it had the oddd roffle:

(btw who is brandon flowers?)

xpost

I could never read the entire Madonna Janet thread which is part why it is so stupifying and a classic. This was one great post in the thread

the pressing question howevah: if I am in fact nasty but address Miss Jackson as "Janet," does she have any other tools at her disposal for determining whether I am nasty or not? Or does the whole proposition pivot on the assumption that the persons addressing her will be honest about their nastiness/non-nastiness? if so this is a pretty weak (albeit touchingly naive) method for assessing the relative nastiness of the applicant and new research is necessary

A new contender! OHMIGODAHORSE

yo is it true vordul got sonned by a wite kid after a aol beef??????

how could i forget:

A Thread about the film JFK

I think I'll turn this into a poll at some point either on Tuesday or Wednesday, so get your votes in quick!

Liverpool Tickets Fiasco is one of my personal faves as well, btw.

A new contender!

You could say the same for the 'living with gay pornographer' thread, although the fact that every other post is a breathless affirmation of the thread's 'top-ten potential' or whatnot is somewhat irritating.

That said, Sausade's post is probably enough to ensure its nomination.

no winning thread being from 2002-2004, no credibility

Wait so what are the rules of nomination here? It looks like a couple of threads have been rejected for no reason.

Can a list of what has been nominated, what has been seconded and what needs seconding be drawn up?

I'll do one when I'm not at work. Everything with two or more nominations is going into the poll, nowhere have I stated that a thread's being rejected (unless it's clearly ironic or abusive, natch).

Threads only NEED seconding if they deserve seconding, i.e. if more than one person deems it worthy of nomination!

(unless it's clearly ironic or abusive, natch).

If the nomination is ironic, agreed. As to abusive, some threads belong to the ages now and should be remembered.

As to 'deserving' seconding, fair point. A bit subjective but completely understandable.

If no one seconds the Missionary Position thread I will be sad.

I don't think seconding should be required. Most people at this point are just naming threads that haven't already been named and aren't going back to look over the whole list and determine which nominations they agree with.

Or how about this? I second everything that's been named so far. There.

I second every thread that has been mentioned. No exceptions.

I'm nominating

BEST THREAD ON ILX: Part ONE - The Nominations

Now that's just being silly.

this contest needs spicing up. i suggest that all of the nominated threads that don't win the final poll be deleted forever. and the people who started them be banned. forever.

nah, too harsh. maybe you could do that for every thread not to get a vote, or something.

seperate poll for seconding

also, no 1p3 thread = no cred

OK, 24 hours until the poll. Get those nominations in!

Ralf Hutter's blind date: An ILX Collaborative Tragicomedy

About time I nominated something, btw:

The most interesting pieces of pop music trivia that you know (that are 100% false)

Worst of the web: Crappysavior.jpg edition. (a picture thread)

seconded.

"TS: My Little Pony vs. Care Bears" seconded, if it wasn't already.

my favourite ever was a thread called

B-E-L-T-S

but i can't find it :(

ah fuck, here it is

- - - Belts - - -

it wasn't Belt Water was it?

False music trivia seconded.

I second moley's vote for Ralf Hutters Blind Date. Thats some gold right there.

What about the "In Every (x) Ever" threads? Those seem almost impossible to search, though.

And the one where people describe memories of their life from when they were 11 yrs. old or so...I can't find that one, either.

I'm unsure regarding Jagga's ambiguous rules and subequent attempts at clarifying 'em whether something has to be seconded to be part of the final poll...but at any rate, I second "So Not Gonna Happen".

Yeah one of my noms (the "sing along to Da Funk") hasnt been 2nded :(

Yeah, I know I started it, but I'm not willing to overlook the tremendous contributions of teh ILX community to WDYLL when machines are trying to kill you: favorite product warning labels thread out of humility.

Nominating June 14, 2007 as greatest day on ILE. PAUL RUDD VS. JOHN CUSACK
PAUL RUDD: ALSO Y

- - - Belts - - - seconded.

What about the "In Every (x) Ever" threads? Those seem almost impossible to search, though.

Yes, those are great! I would second a collective vote for them if that's the best we can do - but my favorites are the one about childrens' action-adventure cartoons (I think it's just called Stock Plots For Action-Adventure Cartoons), old movies generally, and suburban dens from the 80s.

Nah, the best of those is the coffee house one. Which I have searched for, without avail!

Even just searching for threads with title "Every" doesn't work - is this for some reason a blacklisted word?

The stopword list on the search engine is ridiculously long and full of really not all that common words, it is frustrating.
