So, are we going to ride the fence about whether or not this is a backwards thread? Now you don't really wanna
ride the fence? Now do you really wanna ride the fence? Why would you really wanna ride the fence? Don't ride the fence! [/Coup]

Weird...I'll probably get initially poxy fuled the second time I try to post the following. If we're going backwards, mind you. At thirty frames a second. [/Jim Kerr]

What I said or will say won't make any sense.

I think this is the thread where we talk like Ross Perot.

Pardon? Hmmm... This thread makes me feel kinda dream like.

I hate when people mean to say "What Do You Look Like" and forget the word "look".

But I do like appearing prescient.

― Ian Riese-Moraine is on toffuti break! (Eastern Mantra), Monday, 23 May 2005 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Have you guys ever noticed that Ken L. always posts on the What Do You Look Like threads but never posts a picture of himself?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 23 May 2005 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Enough with all the happy talk. xpost

Are you one of those people....

― Denis Norden... (mark grout), Monday, 23 May 2005 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

It is a backwards thread. I've decided.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 23 May 2005 17:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually..

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 23 May 2005 17:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Does anyone remember laughter?

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 23 May 2005 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Laughter? I barely knew her!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 23 May 2005 17:25 (twenty-one years ago)

You Laughter? Or was that "Loved her"? What it sounded like...

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 23 May 2005 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I liked it better when it didn't know if it was a backwards thread or not.

I was just about to say "threadkiller" before you saved yourself.

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I figured you'd gone home for the day.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm in a different time zone from you. Did you watch Jim Jarmusch win his award at Cannes? It was pretty funny when he referred to the "bizarre jury" that gave it to him, seeing as there was one of each shape, size, color and creed, like the colors of Benetton.

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

How come you always seem to be posting while I'm still in bed?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I'm gonna go home and watch Ghost Dog tonight.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Ken, I know you hate Blixa Bargeld for what he said about Jarmusch in the late 80s, but you have to give Bargeld some credit for his opinions, though. I mean, tastes are relative and such.

― donut debonair (donut), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Blixa Bargeld's classic alone just for appearing on The Birthday Party's "Mutiny in Heaven".

No, wait, I didn't see that, but I think that's because my clock's off. My brother set it on Labrador time. He thinks he's a Newfie lately. xxpost

― Ian Riese-Moraine is on toffuti break! (Eastern Mantra), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Mmm, I'm gonna make an error (or maybe I've already made it?) and say "xxpost" when I mean "xxxpost".

― Ian Riese-Moraine is on toffuti break! (Eastern Mantra), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

xxxpost = stripper's pole?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm waiting for Chris to come back and save me.

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm far from the world's biggest Jim Jarmusch fan, but there is such a thing as going too far.

More than two x's in an xpost and I tend to use "n by x post" or something like that.

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, this thread's crashed (probably my fault), but has it crashed backwards or forwards?

― Ian Riese-Moraine is on toffuti break! (Eastern Mantra), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread is in about as good shape as the leaky cod-fishing boat I saw being rescued in a documentary on the Discovery channel the other day.

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 23 May 2005 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, I've been busy.

Ok, I'm back. WTF is this?

Right, Lunchtime!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Is it Lunchtime?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know what time it is, but I'm definitely starving.

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Now it could be Lunchtime, or it could be Hammer time!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread could leave behind it a Legend That Will Last A Lunchtime!

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:38 (twenty-one years ago)

You know, I'm quite pleased at how this thread has actually traversed the time continuum. That's quite an achievement.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:39 (twenty-one years ago)

When I first saw the movie Titanic, an anachronistic Kris Kristofferson quote by Leo D, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose," made me believe that it was in fact a time travel story, and Leo was a time pirate, sent back in time to steal the sapphire for one lucky lady. Of course things didn't work out as planned and he got his come-uppance, much like the fellows in the horror stories who try to profit by (ab)using the knowledge of the future they get when they somehow get a copy of tomorrow's newspaper or tomorrow's mail or, for you Brits, tomorrow's post.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Amazingly, I've never seen Titanic.

― Ian Riese-Moraine is on toffuti break! (Eastern Mantra), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:50 (twenty-one years ago)

It's weird, but I feel like we are smack dab in the middle this thread, like a ship moving through placid waters. Although, as we learned in James Cameron's Titanic, those waters may contain an iceberg. But in fact, that whole movie was the fcuking iceberg.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Whenever anyone talks about icebergs I think of lettuce. (And let's face it, if the Titanic had struck a huge lettuce, well, it would have made a different movie, at least.)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

It's about some sheet of ice that got set loose after being in place for thousands of years due to global warming or something. I don't know if it became an iceberg or just melted away. It's the second from last song on the album, or the antepenultimate number, if you will.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Ice, Ice, Baby.

Mark Grout, ladies and gentlemen, he created this.

Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you.

There will be an interval.
