In fact, that's probably a better idea.

― Matt (Matt), Thursday, 25 November 2004 19:22 (nineteen years ago) link

so if we know the answers are we meant to just blurt them out like this: 2) the grebe ?

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 25 November 2004 20:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I know 1, 5 and 8.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 25 November 2004 20:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Keep 'em to yourself or you'll ruin it for the one or two others who might look at this thread. Or blurt them out. I don't know. It's up to you, really. Set other questions maybe.

― Matt (Matt), Thursday, 25 November 2004 20:53 (nineteen years ago) link

(1) was estela, and I know that because it was one of the greatest posts ever. Everyone probably knows (5) and I figure most people know (8).

My question:

Who coined the phrase "fuck washing a hat"?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 25 November 2004 21:38 (nineteen years ago) link

i think it may have been LC

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Thursday, 25 November 2004 22:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Here's my question: Who started this thread?

(No peeking!)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 25 November 2004 23:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Matt Coastaltown! I know this as I was going to ask who started calling Markelby Barry Lasagne, but then had a sneaking suspicion it might have been Mr Coastaltown so thought it would be a silly question.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 November 2004 00:54 (nineteen years ago) link

(honestly, I didn't peek)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 November 2004 00:55 (nineteen years ago) link

What's this "turning one's face into a heart" business?

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 26 November 2004 04:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I know ailsa's q:
but I'll keep it to myself
because I am nice

― Haibun (Begs2Differ), Friday, 26 November 2004 04:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Leaves change their colors,
pumpkins are smashed into pies,
and the haiku bloom.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 26 November 2004 05:55 (nineteen years ago) link

uNderneath It all
Can't we Know A LIttle Care?
Is it Outs for US?

― Haibun (Begs2Differ), Friday, 26 November 2004 06:10 (nineteen years ago) link

So a thousand flowers have blossomed, and there are countless haiku on ILX, thanks in particular to one guy. But I ask you: How many times has a post been responded to with an original sonnet? (And since that one might be difficult to figure out, who has done it most often?)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 26 November 2004 06:12 (nineteen years ago) link

'I got yr sonnet
right here champ' (and gestured to
his crotch, or his heart)

― Haibun (Begs2Differ), Friday, 26 November 2004 06:13 (nineteen years ago) link

It's only a sonnet
If you can sit upon it.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 26 November 2004 06:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Ailsa is correct in every regard so far. I shall have to think of a suitable prize.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 26 November 2004 09:31 (nineteen years ago) link

I only know 5 and 8.

more Q's for the most recent folks...

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 26 November 2004 10:15 (nineteen years ago) link

3 was Maryann I think

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 26 November 2004 10:36 (nineteen years ago) link

sorry Mark, that was one of my concerns when I put it up; but as I stated, it was just off the top of my head, and I'm not on here as much as I used to be. Ask more recent questions!

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 26 November 2004 11:26 (nineteen years ago) link

#3 was Maryann and my wife Rainy, actually. #10 should be "baseball wife." I can't remember the name of Momus's gang despite being in it! Heart-face = Matos's stepfather.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 26 November 2004 17:18 (nineteen years ago) link

(cf #3 "do not read if you hate us")

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 26 November 2004 17:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Nabisco scores! No-ones got #7 yet...nor are enough questions being asked.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 26 November 2004 23:43 (nineteen years ago) link

I remember #7 distinctly, as I am conner's #1 fan, but the who escapes me!

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 26 November 2004 23:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Get with the Ned, he'll know.

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 27 November 2004 02:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Was #7 Jel?

― dog latin (dog latin), Saturday, 27 November 2004 09:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I know #4! (i think)

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Saturday, 27 November 2004 10:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I just checked on #7 ( SEX OVER THE INTERNET! ) -- is that a regular in disguise?

And it's "Conner", and she's a girl. Which still depresses me.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 27 November 2004 10:17 (nineteen years ago) link

I always wondered about that. It was partly wondering about that which led me to start the thread.

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 27 November 2004 10:26 (nineteen years ago) link

She puts her e-mail in that thread, too. Has anyone tried to contact her?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 27 November 2004 10:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Conner sent me an email or two!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 27 November 2004 11:38 (nineteen years ago) link

It's such a fantastic name too - I wonder if it's real?

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Saturday, 27 November 2004 11:46 (nineteen years ago) link

#4 has got to be Kill Bill

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Earlier this year I tried emailing conner, but it got bounced back. :(

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:51 (nineteen years ago) link

And I just thought of a new name.

― conner Smedleee (Leee), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Martin, this made me smile: Hey Conner, welcome and all that, but there really is no reason to start like three threads on anime and three on werewolves and all that. It just bugs people who aren't interested, and I can't see any advantage to it at all.

― Sanjay McDougal (jaymc), Saturday, 27 November 2004 18:17 (nineteen years ago) link

It was quite entertaining at the time, though.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 29 November 2004 14:49 (nineteen years ago) link

6) What's the name of the fictional troll who Ned spent a long dark night fighting alone?

Ricardo?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 29 November 2004 18:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Score!

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 29 November 2004 18:28 (nineteen years ago) link

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 29 November 2004 18:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Where is the Ned / Ricardo battle thread? I want to read it.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Monday, 29 November 2004 18:36 (nineteen years ago) link

That Momus' gang question is killing me.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 29 November 2004 18:42 (nineteen years ago) link

thee only thign i could find is this obscure reference. crosspost.

― :| (....), Monday, 29 November 2004 18:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Momus' gang, I THINK, was the Cluster Gang.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 29 November 2004 18:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Cool, I love Moebius and Plank. "Rastakraut Pasta" is one of my favorite . . .hey this ILE not ILM.

B-b-but I still want to read the saga of the long dark night of troll fighting! come on Ned, fess up . . .

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Monday, 29 November 2004 18:56 (nineteen years ago) link

wasnt this whole business a) pre-ilx and b) comletely made up?

― :| (....), Monday, 29 November 2004 19:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Correct on both counts. IIRC it was on the thread where it was announced that only the top one hundred posters would be allowed to continue posting or somesuch. It was all a fiction.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 29 November 2004 21:37 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm deeply confused about this troll fight thing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 29 November 2004 21:38 (nineteen years ago) link

There were allusions on this thread I'm thinking of to a pre-ILX board which was disrupted by a troll called "Ricardo", you spent a long dark night of the soul backing up files before he corrupted them, or something. As I say, it was all entirely made up by someone (I forget who) and seemed a nicely obscure question to ask.

A Banana correct!

A couple of more hints:

3) The name also refers to dining.

10) It was a picture of a woman that was sketched.

This wasn't on ILE, but reading ILE might help you with this question:

Which four ILXors have added their names to a Jacques Derrida online remembrance page?

Was Garu G involved in that one?

one of them didn't have the word "The" in his name?

― barman's bar mitz (unregistered), Thursday, 24 May 2012 19:51 (eleven years ago) link

Maybe, but the answer I was looking for is a bit less trivial.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 24 May 2012 19:52 (eleven years ago) link

were they played by two different people? I don't know if the sockpuppetmaster(s) were ever revealed.

9. Martin Skidmore
I don't know if that is the answer Tuomas is looking for, but if it is then maybe you didn't hear about this last year: http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?showall=true&bookmarkedmessageid=2811928&boardid=40&threadid=51148

― mookieproof, Thursday, 24 May 2012 21:14 (eleven years ago) link

Jaymc is correct with 3, 4, and 10. 9 is incorrect, the ILXor I'm talking about is still with us.

Rest in peace, Martin.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 24 May 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link

IIRC the ans to 7 was to shut Aja & dante the hell up by giving them their own board to be cutsey all over each other on.

Until it all got creepy and Aja's supposed dad waded in, or something.
