btw i applaud the restraint of ilx to not post chaki's "hot chick in my bed" post nor orbit's "contract that can make your dick shrivel" post ironically, altho both of these posts were definitely lurking in the back of my mind when making this thread.

this is kinda gabbneb w/ his 'um i've skied there' thing anytime someone questioned his thorough knowledge of some region of america right?

skied there with his heigl-lohan girl.

yes exactly. basically i'm in awe of people who post here and seem to also ski or hike or have active dating and social lives. not in a lol dorks way, but a genuine "wow you have a real life AND a internet life" way. i associate the internet with hard times. when social and sexual and urge for physical activity lives are going well for me i view the internet as an embarrassing relic of sadness. no offense though! lurker since '02. much hard times.

oh and ballz and estela are two of my favorite posters ever so i'm vv honored that yr here. love u guise

hey, slam dunk. I guess it should be a slam dunk, but who are you?

lurker since '02, much hard times iirc

braggin

braggin: i have good times and bad times. last year around this time was not a good time in my life. but i wouldn't trade places with anyone. case in point: last night i went to a birthday party in easthampton and i was surrounded by friends and creative people who i really like to be with. it felt great. i ended up sitting around a fire pit in the backyard talking about zombies and the end of the world with a guy who helped start the onion paper and site, a local used book dealer i like, and my favorite member of the band pussy galore (not the blues dude). and i remember where i was and what i was doing 3 years ago on marthas vineyard and i cringe and i thank the zombie gods that i got out of a bad situation and put myself into a better one. i ate cherry pie three days in a row this week for lunch and i am alive and i love my kids and maria so much i could die. but it took me 44 years to get there. and i still have really bad weeks. but it doesn't matter because the trees are so fucking beautiful around here.

^^

love that, scott

and now i'm going to take a shower and go to a museum and then go to a cocktail tasting and then see an ilxor and a bunch of other guys perform live music and then go see a woman i'm dating DJ at another museum (not the first museum) and then we're going to go out and have a nice meal and then go home and have sex and sleep and then I'll get up and throw some pottery and then watch the thursday NFL game on tivo that I couldn't watch because I was out at a job interview where i was promised more work and then went to my OTHER pottery class and then went to a big society event food and wine tasting with a gal DJ (not the first gal DJ) and after I'm done with the NFL game while I do some work I'll go to see a maestro of indian tabla and likely have to break up with a woman i love dearly but that i just don't see working out and then I'll go see a series of short films about the Spanish labor movement and then go to the Ukrainian House and eat pickles and watch more music and then i'm going to KEEP FUCKING DOING THIS UNTIL I DIE

the chick might only have been hot in his eyes, you know?

bless you skot <3

mostly the part about having an OTHER pottery class

how many pottery classes can one man have, makes you wonder

What would you do if you had a million dollars? I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two pottery classes at the same time, man

haaaa

some people felt bad for the other woman, but did anyone stop to feel bad for the other pottery class? we should all be ashamed of our lack of empathy for pottery classes

all I can say is this: all these pottery classes forks is taking and not ONE lionel richie head sculpture to date. "pottery class". BAH.

M. White, habitue of San Francisco, debonair banker and man about town, fluent in french and fine wines, often seen in WDYLL threads dressed to the teeth and surrounded by pretty women, caught in an 'ilx takes this all in stride and eschews conspicuous display of envy' shockah!!

packing your life with fun seems like it's for plebians, lacks the subtle nuance of M. White's lifestyle

the best thing about michael white is that he is a fan of leeds united

I came very close to posting at least one of these.

....

don't think 'goes on holiday' or 'goes to clubs' is really what this thread is about

anyone who has fun off the internet needs to be shamed immediately

it makes everyone else here look bad

omg

bit more of a trip for a north american to do germany, iirc

FOPSON

lol my trip to germany was very much not luxurious or enviable really, my roommate and i slept on our friends' dorm room floor and we ran out of money like 10 days into the trip. tho tbh i do have a pretty fun life outside of ilx. also have a lot of fun within ilx, too

surprised you guys haven't pillaged the Magic: the Gathering thread for this

since when does luxurious imply fun-packed?

does anyone know what the second track on that mano le tough panorama bar set is? heard that out a lot when i was in germany/berlin this summer during an unspecified period devoid of any distinguishing or redeeming features of which no more shall be uttered

better representative post for f'son would have been [LINK REMOVED]

yeah well that's pretty horrific

*nods*

lol plus a dj night

i could find the post where i listened to kitty prydes 'the lizzie mcguire experience' on a friday night if that would help

why is there an 844-post thread about whether deej is a hipster

that flopson post is otm though

tbh im not actually horrified or even embarrassed by that post, was recently realizing how so often ppl are embarrassed by their former selves but rarely consider how embarrassed their younger selves would be if they were to take a glimpse into the future

Were you even cooler at 12 then?

FWIW i realized that was on 77 only after posting, asked for it to be removed on Mod Req, isn't that supposed to be an automatic ban or something?

i think it's only a problem if you directly c/p text, no one who's not on 77 would have been able to read it

that flopson post is fine
