just now I started a poll called

Alternative All-time Canon Poll For People Who Don't Care About All That Weak Stuff

and it was gonna have Above the Law and Madlib on it but then I got stuck on what else to put in

I would do my level best to vote dissection up a few brackets but maybe that is not what you are looking for

a bracketed tournament for cleaning products

soft scrub always and forever. would kinda love this poll, am cleaning two houses right now

• explain the hate for the words and/or musical style 'downtempo/chill'
• POLL - favorite version of the jazz standard 'I remember you' (1941, Schertzinger/Mercer)

TS: Mandy Moore vs. Ryan Adams

Oh wait... real thread, sorry.

So I was gonna start a thread that was titled something like

"Post here every time you think about contributing to a politically themed thread but censor yourself for fear of attracting suggest bans for unpopular opinions"

but then I realised that meta on that level would be in itself a total fucking suggest ban magnet.

I hate feeling like this. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. It seriously makes me feel like I don't have a right to an opinion around here any more.

(And anyone who SB's me for this post, seriously, can fucking bite me.)

Threads You Have Bookmarked That Show "has new answers" for Over a Month Before You Check Them Again

Post here every time you think about contributing to a politically themed thread but censor yourself for fear of attracting suggest bans for unpopular opinions

i hope/assume people wouldn't suggest-ban you for this. you should contribute!

why do you want to "ban everyone [...] seriously talking about soulseek"

<3 threads full of socks

Was gonna do a poll about which painful method of death wd be best for Max Hastings.

Might swap it for a "how many times wd you like to shoot Ian Duncan Smith in the face?" thread

Actually wd probably enjoy shooting him in the balls instead

Poll: Best Sun Ra Album

Thread I SHOULDN'T have started: Live/Die: Mike Love

The problem was, I didn't have a spare day-and-a-half to copy and paste the titles of all his albums.

The problem was, I didn't have a spare day-and-a-half to copy and paste the titles of all his albums.

lol yeah I think you would have to have several separate polls, divided into eras, and then poll the winners of those polls. cuz he has what like 250+ albums

Also, a TMI thread called something like "Stuff you have seen in porn that has actually made you lol"

I have this idea for a thread about People Who Left Wall Street To Do Other Things (start a juice business, do organic farming, open a food cart, creat iPhone apps, become a mountain biking coach, etc.) because it seems like every other small business in new york has that in its story line. Too lazy to actually track down examples but maybe at some point.

bands that have other band names in their name....

not sure there's any past KMFDM, the Tape Beatles and Eagles of Death Metal....

i'm sure you could find a lot of examples of multi-word band names that contain one-word band names within them, but most wouldn't be deliberate

oh yeah, good point. bush - bush tetras etc.....

'Surf Rock bands from places you would be unlikely to do much surfing- a list thread'

After listening to St Helens' mid 80s surf band The Happy Gauls and wondering if there was anything interesting to say about surf bands from drab British towns with no coastline, but possibly there isn't idk.

(x) is the Lamacq of (y): people would define a category (eg, central american nations, plantagenet kings, modernist poets, etc) and then decide which member of the category is the 'Lamacq' of that thing, expressed in the aforementioned phrasing.

tearstained letter to S1L0V1K1

I was thinking about starting a picture thread to post horrifying images that show up when you GIS non-horrifying phrases, but it's probably not a good idea to have people posting horrifying images to ilx, or at least if they were I wouldn't be clicking on the thread so it would be pointless me starting it. Anyway, I got the idea from GISing 'morrissey the consumer monkey' and one of the results being from a story about a monkey tearing off a baby's testicle and eating it.

the url of the story ends /news/world-news/monkey-tears-tots-testicle-eats-2255959

Also: I was thinking the other day about this article I read about 10 years ago in the NME about a band, and how they claimed to have met when the three of them all tried to shoplift their local virgin megastore's sole copy of the first Suicide album at the same time, and I was going to start a thread about bands with obviously made up but rather charming stories about how they formed, but I'm not sure if enough bands do this to make it worthwhile. More bands should do this though, like origin stories in super-hero comics.

nobody was gonna believe that about Keane surely?

ha!

Also I saw this earlier today and thought of you

Can't remember what I was GISing but it was something unrelated to cats and noodles.

I saw it more as a Mr Loverman/RnB album cover expression:
