Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven

this may very well be the 'bracken' of threads. i am gabriel byrne.

xpost, I'm not sure what either of those are. If they are albums, I am lame. If they are British television shows, I am American.

I like smaller threads.

KV, why you cry? You weren't the one who put up a fuss over a new LOST thread, where you?

Probably should've linked to the old one in the first post though. I'm notoriously bad at starting threads.

Crap. Does this mean I have to wear pants now? Booooo

Also accentmonkey, sorry about your leg. At least you have office of kittens.

About the wedding: I can't get out of it. I'll have fun. I'm just super-busy before break and therefore super-kvetchy. Thank you all for kind words. I will drink a bottle of wine each for you all. Then tell groom what I really think. Such fun that would be :)

I cry Ms Mis because it was a good thread for few weeks. This one will be even better!

Are pants still optional here?

Accentmonkey, quit hurting yourself. We have miles of Amsterdam to walk.

Good company, good threads. This will be fine too.

I so want an office of kittens. The latest addition to our porch will pop any day now. But she's a bit more skittish than Lil' Mama (whose kittens I've never seen). I just have a feeling bringing this new mother (Scarface) inside could be disastrous. She'd have to be locked up in my sewing room (which is Wheezy's room so this would immediately cause unrest) and I imagine the sniffing possibly barking dogs would terrify the kitty (even if she were safe from them.)

But oh how I'd love a sewing room full of kittens!

Well, you should know that thanks to the ringworm, the drill with the kittens has become more complicated. I basically have to hoover the hall, stairs and landing twice a day now so they don't infect Linus. And I have to wash myself each time I leave their room, and change my t-shirt. I've started wearing my kitchen apron when I'm sitting with them as well, just to be on the safe side.

have you gotten medicine for them? (maybe I missed that back on the mega-thread)

Oh yes. I had them to the vet yesterday. Even she gave them a little hug.

GIVE THEM TO ME! I DON'T MIND DISEASE! NOT WHEN THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SQUEEEE

Just walk around your neighborhood. I'm sure you'll find some poor unwed kitty mother to adopt.

My new motto is Cowboy Up. I should get a hat like Onimo's, they did come in pink.

GIVE THEM TO ME! I DON'T MIND DISEASE! NOT WHEN THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SQUEEEE

Go on your holidays. Go on, leave us. I will stand here at the window with my kittens and we will watch you go. GO! No, don't look back. Just go.

Ms. M, please use "cowboy up" in a sentence so I understand its use.

I plan to stop whining about all my various health issues and just cowboy up and get on with living.

I will wave to you as I fly over your neighbourhood! Will be spending time with aged wrinklies' thick moggy. Should be fun!

Also: Wine, pool, runny cheese, funny meat and sun. Can't wait!

Work want me to be contactable. Bugger. Still though I plan on not being 100% sober after 12:00 (11:00 gmt). They'd better get the calls in early!

Karl hears him coming and wipes his nose. Sawyer socks him in the arm.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?"

"So you'd cowboy up." Sawyer sits next to Karl. "Crying in the jungle ... I thought you people were supposed to be tough."

I shall be Sawyer. Ruthless on the outside, a wimpy softie on the inside.

xpost, Did you get that off some LOST transcript or something?

A stray cat started hanging out under our house a few days ago. At first I was chasing it away, cuz my cat tends to fight other cats but now I see that it's basically just hanging around our house. It sneaks onto our porch. I started feeding it (him? her?) yesterday. Getting a chance to get up close to him (I'm guessing), I see he's quite undernourished and fleabitten. Applied flea stuff just now. My cat seems to just be ignoring him even though I fed him with her bowl, so it isn't coming to blows. Who should I call to find out whose cat it is? He looks like he's been lost for a while, but isn't feral.

You could try the shelter, see if anyone's reported a missing cat. Or take it to a vet to see if it has a microchip.

So, we have a pet guest cat for the next couple of weeks! Gloriously, his name is MONKEY. Or maybe 'her' name. I don't bl00dy know. Today I went to Tesco and picked her (or 'him') up some cat food - the SHEBA brand. One is "rabbit and chicken" which frankly my deres sounds quite tempting TO ME!

Bored. Here is a list of my favourite MUM TELLY:
1. Inspector Lynley Mysteries
2. Midsomer Murders
3. Dib Dob Deeb (JUDGE JOHN DEED to you non legaleagles - would usually be #1 but it's not on at the mo)
4. Morse
5. Poirot

(Inspired by mention of Hamish Macbeth which I never really watched I must admit)

PS INSPECTOR NUMMY MORE LIKE

What is "mum telly"?

ask yer mum

She wouldn't know.

Yes she would!

It is "telly your mum likes". Usually featuring someone who can be described as "that nice kind Inspector" who can either be the main protagnist or supplemental. Men who are fancied by YOUR MUM. You know!!

LYNLEY

MIDSOMER

DDD:
I reommend this ep:

"Episode 6 - Popular Appeal
Thursday 17 February 2005, 8.00pm, BBC One

During a reality TV show one contestant, in an explosion of stress-filled anger, kills another on camera. Judge John Deed hears the trial of the producers, who are charged with manslaughter when its learned psychologists profiled contestants to find those with 'The most entertaining flashpoints'.

Meanwhile, the judge is pushing for a police enquiry in the death of Rufus Barron. But as the judge gets closer to the truth so the armaments manufacturer, Sir Tim Listfield is provoked into more extreme measures..."

The reality TV show is called THE DUNGEON!! Features g4y n4z1 aryan stereotype... ON ACID!!! Caused a frenzy of text messages to fly between the Freaky Trigger text reviewin' collective resulting in sore thumbs the next morning!

I kill thread! Never mind, it's quarter to five.

Because you like him, Sarah, I have tried to like JJD, but I just don't. Guess what though, my mum LOVES him. I'm not really a big lover of mum telly. Although Inspector Lynley intrigues me.

And now I know how to use "cowboy up" correctly, I'm all in favour of it.

I've spent the last hour talking to my cousin who came over. She will take little orange cat next week, even if he is ringwormy. Bah. Still, it's probably for the best.

He could "intrigue" me any day.

"telly your mum likes"

Okay I know that is American Chopper, Miami Ink and Dirty Jobs.

She used to "fancy" this weatherman on the local news then I got to go to a superbowl party at his house. She's enormously excited.

she was rather. don't even know if that guy's still on tv.

CHOPPER!

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/catfoodrob/choppers/images/yellchopper.jpg

I saw a dude on a chopper the other day and thought... maybe I should get one! Whilst I greatly worry about bikes, choppers are slightly better for some reason. I like 'design-y' bikes, ie the Strida, loony Sinclair A-bike and so on. They're probably unrideable though. And you'd look a t00l...

Okay I know that is American Chopper, Miami Ink and Dirty Jobs.

I think it's safe to say that your mam is not like my mam. My mam likes these guys on telly:

http://www.thecinemasource.com/moviesdb/images/George_Clooney_9.jpg

or

http://www.nerf-herders-anonymous.net/JimmySmits.jpg

People like that.

I like people like that! Maybe I'm my own mom. That would make sense.

Yesss... it... would.

Ooh, Hamish Macbeth was a mainstay for me when I was single. mmm!

Mum tv for me is home and garden, Cary Grant films, and soppy teen dramas like Felicity. Oh, and Sex and the City. She asked me if that was what it was like to be single in a big city and sounded all disappointed when I told her it was not.

My mother has gotten so deaf that she turns the TV volume up to a level that makes younger people bleed from the ears. And then falls asleep in front of it.

Going out the the movies tonight with a weapons-grade case of the farts. Yay canned black beans! What an excellent way to clear a space so I can put my feet up on the seat in front of me!

Whoa, this thread is impossible to arouse. It must have a headache.

Ooh new thread. This is like coming home and finding someone's moved your furniture around. Except not really. I see pants are no longer optional, is this down to the lions, tigers and boobs thread? Can our kids no longer see their parents' pantless browsing?

My two boys are back at school today. The oldest has graduated to The Big Playground (Primaries 1-3 and 4-7 have separate playgrounds). How to stop them growing up?

You may remove your pants if you choose, you just can't talk about it in the thread title (for the benefit of people who are at work and kind of trying to maintain the moral high ground over the slackers they work with).

Back to school today? Jesus, the kids here don't go back for another two weeks.

Scotland going on holiday two weeks before the rest of UK & Ireland has its benefits. Holidays beginning at the end of June are usually a good bit cheaper than they are once the English holidays start so we can usually get a good deal if we go abroad. Also, hotels tend to have significantly lower numbers of the "two world wars and one world cup" mob who have ENGLAND written on every single item of clothing they own, just in case you weren't sure.

Not that I've been abroad for ages, what with pregnancies and babies and stuff.

When I was a kid the "holidays" meant going to Dunoon and playing crazy golf and eating chips on Fair Saturday then having the remaining 7 weeks off school to fuck around at home. The kids' telly in the first two weeks was always rubbish because the BBC didn't start their holiday programmes until England was on holiday.

Is Life On Mars one for the mums? I reckon mums would want to have John Simm round for a nice hot supper ("feed him up a bit") and they'd probably like the roguish nature of THE GENE GENIE.

I think that John Simm does bring out the maternal instinct in my mam. Not as much as David Tennant, though, who makes her positively cluck with the desire to feed him up.

(Actually feed him up, not "feed him up".)

Yes I see this thread title is too similar to the last. I suck. Never let me at it again.

Beth, what did you see?

Apparently Hurricane Erin has hit down south from us and we are drenched. I had to swim on my .5 mile walk from the bus to the office. I stress the distance b/c normally I take a shuttle that drops me much closer. But no, this is the dead time between semesters so it must be city bus through the monsoon.

I poured water from my vans and had to wring out my skirt.

Plus I'm feeling super exhausted and poorly this week. My cowboy up campaign is not shaping up well.

There's currently a TOTALLY NEKKID picture of David Tennants doing the rounds in the LOLCAT DOCTOR WHO COMMUNITY I AM IN (WHAT OF IT) from when he was in a PLAY and his PROTRUDING RIBS are the most disturbing thing about it! I mean - ouch! (His w1nk1e is NOT protruding fyi, not that I was looking). He definitely needs a pie or six.

The play is "Wot The Butler Saw" (scrawny nekid actor in a pleeceman helmet apparently).

nd his PROTRUDING RIBS are the most disturbing thing about it! I mean

That is disturbing.

I saw "What the Butler Saw" in London though I don't remember who did the nekkid bit.

I'm really hoping Dan Radcliffe comes to NYC when/if they do Equus on Broadway. I would travel for that. (pls to note he is now 18 so this is not crepey)

Not creepy at all.

I'll tell you what is a bit creepy. I have a huge crush on David Tennant (as Sarah says, what of it?) yet both my brother and my mother think he looks like my brother. I am slightly creeped out by this, because obviously I can see that he answers to the same description, as it were, but that hardly counts.

...longer than anybody else

i'm always late to the party. sounds like a really, really good time.

btw i downloaded your album. so far just listened to the sauce song. enjoyed it. sorry i thought you were jinglesmith back then.

hi maria! i've missed you.

Sauce Boss is def. a standout.

its ok maria, just being your bro. trying to warn you about the old jokes. thanks for downloading :-D

hi estela! and grady! and chaki! and remy bean! and colette!

i'm smoking resin! (or am I? that statement could be part truth, part fabrication.)

no one would make that up

vivid memory: me and a friend, coming down off acid, scraping every pipe in the house to plug into the bong.

me: "Is it cashed?"

him: "It was cashed when we started!"

cuz the cache was cashed

so how many pipes were in the house?

and then i took the monster-ist of all monster resin hits, and puked out the back door. Puking on acid = no.

xpost - more than there should have been, even for college students

Also also apart from Chaki's expanding list of the wounded, all the rest of us had to go on is pretty much the same evidence we had of Dee, and I didn't see anyone claiming she was imaginary.

Guess it all depends on who was hurt. I mean, shit, I do believe she was "fake" (though you could ask yourself what constitutes fake, right?) but at the end of teh day we don't know why she did it. Maybe she feels ugly, lonely, in desperate need of attention/love or whatever. This whole damn witch hunt - cause let's be honest this is what it really is - is just sad and, also, brought out such a mean side of many people. And I'm pretty sure that Chaki or Ethan or whoever will say I'm played as well cause that makes it easier to build their socalled defense and not have to face the fact that maybe she's not *that* bad a person. Then again what the fuck do I know. Yes, Chaki, I don't know the whole (and true) story. But once you establish a certain view of someone, it's just as hard to change that in a positive way as it is in a negative way.

I think a factor of this is that you're basically having a fight in another dorm's crash area

I started the first one of these threads, and I don't consider myself in any "dorm".

mornin

This whole damn witch hunt - cause let's be honest this is what it really is - is just sad and, also, brought out such a mean side of many people.

hey asshole, a witch hunt constitutes accusing and prosecuting someone based on a fallacy. how the fuck is pointing out the TRUTH a witch hunt? guess what: its not.

And I'm pretty sure that Chaki or Ethan or whoever will say I'm played as well cause that makes it easier to build their socalled defense and not have to face the fact that maybe she's not *that* bad a person.

if you're trying to get me to feel some sort of sympathy for someone that fucked with my life then you're kind of twisted yourself.

this thread is pretty good, but i still like the last few 'shout for the moderator' threads better. b+

WHOA thread went on vacation much??!

hey bro

heyy =P i'm about get some lunch. meatloaf sammich maybe

okay no. i made eggs instead. i've been really cheap about food lately, which is paying off.

but i did just buy cream of turkey soup. which was delicious but i'm pretty sure there was a stick of butter in it.

butter is so good it's unreal. the other night i had a bit of an episode when i just ate butter on crackers. i could feel my arteries stiffen.

can someone please sum up this clusterfuck for me? is Misery gone off the internet because of you? i never check/ed this thread but i've noticed her absence. she is my texas bro!!

i just got an email from her recently, but i hope she comes back here soon =)

1 chaki says luna is fake

2 luna leaves ilx in a huff

3 chaki w/some prodding reveals that luna has had internet romances w/a number of ilxors then been a no show when theyre supposed to finally meet in person

4 more details from chaki: shes posted fake pictures of herself and stalked chaki at his work

5 a number of long time ilx regulars are all lol of course shes fake duh

6 her friends get pissed

7 some truly strange clusterfucking ensues

-- jhøshea

I think Andrew F's post up there says it better. Major problem I had with it is not any accusations levelled at Luna, who I couldn't really care less about, but the snidey way it was done, and Chaki and others' refusal to back down even when the person who Chaki was telling everyone about turned up and said "er no, it wasn't exactly like that at all".

But whatever.

he was just savin face obv

you really think andrew's post says anything "better"?? its full of bullcrap

As opposed to "this is what happened to Bloke" then Bloke turns up and says "er, no it isn't", you mean?

geez i'm so in the dark

bloke was downplayin'

mornin

I get jealous of the Chicago thread. I would like a place to post mindlessly because I am boerd at work.

i know

sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow day at work
