― webber (webber), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Inspired by the way Ned swoops. Gandalfesque, to offer sage yet gnomic advice with regards to the mystifying indie-pop vortex.

― chris sallis, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I am a seagull, hoooooooooooooowl.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Seagulls offer sage yet gnomic advice on indiepop? What do they feed the seagulls where you live!? Cause I want some!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't read this thread, but I'd say, sadly, not.

But I'm not one to piss on people's dreams, so, yes, if he wants to be.

Ned, you're the greatest seagull on God's Earth.

― Graham (graham), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Fly Ned, fly! Soar to the heavens!

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Seagulls sweep, elegantly, they bridge land, water and air, they are graceful.

Is Ned a seagull?

― chris sallis, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Fly, Raggett, fly...
up up to the SKY!

but is Ned a lesbian seagull

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Is Ned Raggett Seagull kinda like Jonathan Livingston Seagull?

― hstencil, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I bet you've never felt this HIGH
given that you're way way up in the SKY;
Far, far above all those trendy record stores
One expects you may land in the Azores...

Sorry Ned
I'll go to bed

― chris sallis, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:32 (twenty-three years ago)

And don't forget what those good books said!

― chris sallis, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I thank you from the bottom of my avian heart. But please, my last name has two g's in it. ;-) (And yes, Ride's "Seagull" is a marvy fun fab thing.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry. Are you a seagull or not?

― chrys sallys, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:36 (twenty-three years ago)

i luv these absolutely absurd ILX thread titles!

― Tad (llamasfur), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:37 (twenty-three years ago)

I love the way really intelligent lawyers deign to respond to an internet thread entitled "Is Ned Ragett [sic] a Seagull?"

― chrys sallys, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:39 (twenty-three years ago)

I said I had an avian heart! Though this does not in fact narrow down whether I am a seagull or not, it is quite possible that I am instead a penguin, an ostrick or an emu.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Ostrick? Now I'm spelling badly! Ostrich.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Aye, it AMUSES me. heh - is there some internet shorthand for a state of amusement between "heh" and "lol" - if there is I would like to knoow...

[what? you've got to use WORDS? to convey.... EMOTION?!!! Are you some kind of cultural terrorist?]

― christopher sallis, esq., Friday, 21 February 2003 01:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned, were you one of the birds that swooped down on a sandwich I found on a DC sidewalk?

(On the sidewalk along Pennsylvania Ave. I saw a sandwich in a plastic bag, and birds pecking at it, trying to get at the food. I took the sandwich out of the bag and put it back on sidewalk. Flocks of birds descended on the thing, and it somehow got flung into the street, with birds following. Rush-hour traffic was jamming on the breaks to avoid hitting the birds. Oops.)

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned I'm playing out a private feud in public - what happened to the NZ trip? You were supposed to take some photos for me - what happened?

― chris sallis, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I miss the pacific! Yo, mother.........types, you will to one day.

I don't suppose you could, like, not vote for one of the Bush dynasty at the next election - I love America, we all do - but we all fucking despise that guy, he has 'issues' in his head he needs to sort out before being in charge of Armageddon.

Yer'know'worra'mean - Ned you sad Anglophile Seagull!

*Ned Swoops effortlessly, like the chorus of "To Here Knows When" - only without the expensive EQ effects....

― chris sallis, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:52 (twenty-three years ago)

.......*

Sort it out New Zealand...

There must be an amazing pastoral rock band festering there somewhere - all that land you must be able to grow your own skunk, the natives can tell you where the cool shrooms are to - wake up - you're in paradise - just buy a guitar/PC!

if you're not an artist - fair enough...

― chrys sallys, Friday, 21 February 2003 01:56 (twenty-three years ago)

If I WAS IN NEW ZEALAND I WOULD DREAM OF BEING IN A BIG CITY and when you aren't you dream about being within 2 hours drive of one of the most unspoilt wildernesses on earth you lucky kiwis.

BUT! Like everyone else, you've got to learn the hard way.

Enjoy London, my friends :)

― chrys sallys, Friday, 21 February 2003 02:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I said I had an avian heart!

that should be the title of the next Cocteau Twins CD!

― Tad (llamasfur), Friday, 21 February 2003 02:08 (twenty-three years ago)

If only Tad, if only...

― chris sallis, Friday, 21 February 2003 02:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Eh? Chris, I actually wrote you about that and said I couldn't make it. Huh. Did my e-mail not get through, I wonder...

Ned, were you one of the birds that swooped down on a sandwich I found on a DC sidewalk?

Hm, no. Were I there, I would have been pooping on Bush's head.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 02:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Raggettian Heart, anyone?

Come on, someone clever do the words. I forget them. Something about transcending out of self and awareness or some dribble.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 February 2003 02:34 (twenty-three years ago)

*Raggulls*

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Seaneds?

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually "seaneds" sounds like something from the Goon Show, heh.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:14 (twenty-three years ago)

From the first draft of W.B. Yeats' "The Circus Animals' Desertion":

"I must lie down where all the ladders start/In the foul ~~raggett~~ rag and bone shop of the heart."

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Going from Richard Bach to Yeats is a definite step up (and I always did like that line).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 04:37 (twenty-three years ago)

nancy has an odd fascination with seagulls

(anyone say ANYTHING and i'll cut you...PERRY THIS MEANS YOU)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 February 2003 04:51 (twenty-three years ago)

I wish Ned was a Seagull. The team needs you Ned!

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 21 February 2003 11:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Damn.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 February 2003 15:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Brighton and Hove Albion surely can survive without me?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 15:26 (twenty-three years ago)

"the Raggett Bone Shop" your sextoy shop owner career awaits you!

― g.cannon (gcannon), Friday, 21 February 2003 15:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Ahh photoshop....

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 21 February 2003 15:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh dear.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

hehehe.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

I am wearing a Flock of Seagulls t-shirt today. Can someone please photoshop me a Flock of Neds t-shirt? That'd be GRATE!

― kate, Friday, 21 February 2003 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

"And I RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN..."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Or a Ned with Flock of Seagull hair.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Now I am thinking of clown sex, why did Flock of Seagulls have to come up?

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Nicole, the way your mind works worries me. Clown sex?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:24 (twenty-three years ago)

HA HA HA my work is done here

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmm, I did a t-shirt. And a seaned.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Nicole wants to be the filling in a Ned Raggett/Violent J sandwich!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:32 (twenty-three years ago)

!! Combined with your 'Give Nicole Head' campaign, what are you suggesting about her life, you saucy man? ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not the saucy one in search of head from wicked clowns and were-seagulls! (Although this may not be Nicole, either; I cannot speak for her id.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:40 (twenty-three years ago)

NOTE: If there is a Flock of Seagulls video that features clown copulation, I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Seagulls are fucking vermin wot go round attacking poor kids and nicking chips. I dunno if Ned gets up to any of that.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Attacking poor kids and nicking chips sounds JUST LIKE NED!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:43 (twenty-three years ago)

NOTE: If there is a Flock of Seagulls video that features clown copulation, I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

YOU HAVE SPENT YOUR LIFE DREAMING OF IT.

I dunno if Ned gets up to any of that.

I'm not verminous, but odious children will get on my nerves and I gladly finish up others' French fries if they are feeling too full. So I dunno... (aka, what Dan said)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:45 (twenty-three years ago)

for godsakes, have you chuckleheads forgotten about THIS already??: A Flock of Perversions

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Anyway, Dan, just imagine these two in ICP make-up getting it on:

Of course, you can always contemplate what Mike Score looks like these days:

As for Pepe LePunk's current look, you'll have to scrounge on your own.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:49 (twenty-three years ago)

for godsakes, have you chuckleheads forgotten about THIS already??

Ah, that's right. The memories.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:51 (twenty-three years ago)

You know, I don't think I ever read that thread!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:54 (twenty-three years ago)

your radar must be broken...i mean...is there really a thread on ile that more readily screams "dan perry"?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 February 2003 16:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Neds going to kill me when he sees the latest photoshop fun.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 21 February 2003 17:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Heh heh heh. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 17:18 (twenty-three years ago)

This is all very jolly but I fear we are straying from the point:

Is Ned a seagull or not?

It's a perfectly simple question. Please restrict your answers to a simple "Yes" if you agree or, on the other hand, "No" if you do not.

For what it's worth, I think "Yes".

― chris sallis, Saturday, 22 February 2003 04:28 (twenty-three years ago)

The hungry famished Ned
Flaps o'er the waters dead.

― Leee (Leee), Saturday, 22 February 2003 05:13 (twenty-three years ago)

If Ned is a seagull, does that make Dan an albatross?

― Chris P (Chris P), Saturday, 22 February 2003 08:15 (twenty-three years ago)

If Ned is a seagull, does that make Dan an albatross?

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 22 February 2003 08:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Tha picture of Mike Score has scarred me for life. And I will never mention the word "seaned" again after seeing the other thread. ARGH!

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 22 February 2003 08:58 (twenty-three years ago)

i find it unlikely he is a seagull. how would a seagull simultaneously depress both the shift and 0 keys to make a bracket for smiley faces?
not to mention html
