I second Darn-to-hell.

Just to be a curmudgeon about it, that'd be a mispronunciation - my last name rhymes with "Tarheel" if you scanned it as an iamb instead of a trochee.

This much I know to be true.

Kiwi, Monday, 26 April 2004 12:23 (twenty years ago) link

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW this MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH...

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 April 2004 13:13 (twenty years ago) link

I nominate the anti-Ned.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:48 (twenty years ago) link

Hey, I'll vote for that. Um, who is this person?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:49 (twenty years ago) link

He is the little man behind the scenes. He is the mover and the shaker.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:51 (twenty years ago) link

it's me. i just don't show it.

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:53 (twenty years ago) link

He knows your deepest, darkest secrets.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:53 (twenty years ago) link

pah. back to lurking. grumble grumble, mutter mutter.

see?
told you so, yo.

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:56 (twenty years ago) link

VengaDan, that sounds like the protagonist from every Siouxsie and the Banshees song.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:57 (twenty years ago) link

"Please......no.........not the anti-Ned!!!"

"I'm afraid so"

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:58 (twenty years ago) link

you know on irc, the /ignore setting? do you get that on here, too?

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:59 (twenty years ago) link

He will menace you with his horrifying baby-arm.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 26 April 2004 14:59 (twenty years ago) link

It's all so clear now.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 April 2004 15:02 (twenty years ago) link

His hump has crushed nations; the drool on his chain inspires terror in one hundred languages.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 26 April 2004 15:06 (twenty years ago) link

I read this as "he humps nations"
time for coffee.

Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 26 April 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago) link

It is said he makes his enemies walk only through riddle, having removed their legs.

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 26 April 2004 15:08 (twenty years ago) link

He once killed a man just to watch him vainly attempt to stuff his intestines back into the gaping hole in his midriff.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 26 April 2004 15:14 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, Groo the Wanderer.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 April 2004 15:15 (twenty years ago) link

the anti-ned is bald with sideburns.

jel -- (jel), Monday, 26 April 2004 15:16 (twenty years ago) link

is he Scott Ian from Anthrax, then?

Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Monday, 26 April 2004 16:07 (twenty years ago) link

that'd be cool, Anthrax rule!

jel -- (jel), Monday, 26 April 2004 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I was about to say! I like him! And he lives nearby anyway, over in HB.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 April 2004 16:11 (twenty years ago) link

Does Scott Ian have a baby arm?

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 26 April 2004 16:13 (twenty years ago) link

We could graft one onto him.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 April 2004 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

good times

Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Monday, 26 April 2004 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

Leave your baby arms behind.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 April 2004 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

twelve years pass...

A series of polls broken down by continent (had considered by major theme but overlap and difficulties with classifications) leading to (let's face it) us politics curmudgeon #1 the beloved morbs with warts and all realness and several hundred years of excellent movie recs and the eventual uk politics contender who is to be determined but is more likely than not indiscernible as an entity aside from being a pissy no-content collection of bad university activist cliches and shrivelling oncoming high level misanthropy.

Prob requires a bonus royal rumble surprise entry of banned/departed noteworthies that could be submitted undr random headings deemed noteworthy enough by the committee

But rly i spose im asking

Did we ever get this sorted

EU don't negotiate with errorists (darraghmac), Sunday, 26 June 2016 01:01 (seven years ago) link

no honorable mentions for the most curmudgeonly woman on ilx, eh? an oversight, no doubt.

a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Sunday, 26 June 2016 03:30 (seven years ago) link

i've called for ilx going full meta for a while - countless polls about which poster is the most or least this or that

Treeship, Sunday, 26 June 2016 03:45 (seven years ago) link

Youre showing yr youth

Aimless- i took it for granted that women were included and certainly we'd have some in the bonus category (indeed theres scope there for a few multiple award winners) but not imo in the running for the main event though imo if the lamented estela had ever chosen to go full 'mudge we would live yet under the thrall of a great dark queen but for good or ill she passed on the power of that ring when tested and we do not speak of her now except in wearied sighs

EU don't negotiate with errorists (darraghmac), Sunday, 26 June 2016 08:14 (seven years ago) link

aye. estela restrained the full force of her curmudgeonly talents for the good of humankind, which conclusively proves the milk of kindness ran abundantly in her.

a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Sunday, 26 June 2016 18:05 (seven years ago) link

I prefer to think she was under a court order from before

EU don't negotiate with errorists (darraghmac), Sunday, 26 June 2016 18:15 (seven years ago) link

everyone here is a fucking curmudgeon, handing out medals for it is a dimwit project, and fp for citing a quality poster so soon after a literally worthless one

oh, amazonaws (wins), Sunday, 26 June 2016 18:35 (seven years ago) link

I mentioned an unspecified contending group u curmudgeon

Oncoming man u in denial

this country is probably utterly fucked and will never get better in my lifetime because that's how enough fuckers like it and this referendum is only a tiny bit of that

LOL NV. A shade curmudgeonly perhaps?

Your true curmudgeon has quaffed deeply from the bitter springs of life and has adapted himself accordingly, unlike all you callow, shallow, doe-eyed naifs who think it will only get better if you try harder, or some such milk-fed, weak-kneed Sunday-schoolism. Fie on you!

The most curmudgeonly man on ILX is a namby-pamby goody two-shoes compared to the correct yardstick. Why, you wet-behind-the-ears greensick fools couldn't put together a complete curmudgeon, even if you pooled parts into a composite and then lied on its resume.

Harrumph!

I see it was on a Sunday in springtime, the only pretty ring time. Meanwhile, Morbs has been slaying all competition for months now.

how could it be anyone but our beloved morbius?

marcos, Friday, 13 January 2017 02:17 (seven years ago) link

in fairness ive him listed as the champ against whom all contenders must be tested
