avril is a meathole

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 18 June 2004 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

is that a good or bad thing?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 10:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I reserve the right to change my opinions on Ms. Lavigne's purtiness based on how she's lighted & how much makeup her helpers apply / trowel onto her visage - the pics of Ms. L most of you offer don't do her any favors, and only serve to bolster J0hn's point re: rodentia. Best she's looked = "I'm With You" video.

Milo, would _Pieces of April_ be less twee if the Mag. Fields soundtrack were replaced by Neurosis or Deicide?

Well I stand by my opinion that:

A) ILX is obsessed with me (especially the hstencil guy who is sooo desperate to rip me a new asshole he inadvertedly ripped a friend of mine's one in the process and THEN started on me only after he saw his fault. Fucking moron).

B) Avril Lavigne is well hot. Love these lips!

― C-Man (C-Man), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:07 (twenty-one years ago)

how old are you cman?

― Jon Williams!!!!! (ROFFLE!@!@!@) (ex machina), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:09 (twenty-one years ago)

hahahaha you're still ugly, Ralphie.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey man, I got "Aguirre, Wrath of God" for 2.97 last night!! It was in the middle of a whole rack of softcore and "erotic thrillers" on dvd, all at 2.97 ea as well (I didn't buy any of them though, sorry)

"But can you not see that I barely have lips at all?"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Never seen it Norm. I picked up some Hong Kong kung fu flicks fairly cheap recently though. Pick of the bunch is "Ninja in the Dragon's Den", which has the funkiest disco soundtrack ever (sung in English to boot)!

hstencil: get a life dude. I'm flattered that you want to spend so much time on me, but it's only taking up valuable time that you could be spending doing something far more worthwhile for this world... and yourself.

― C-Man (C-Man), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:14 (twenty-one years ago)

dude I figure if you can go on and on about chicks and their appearances, you're fair game for anyone else, Ralphie.

WAX ON, WAX OFF!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

more pix of c-man's head pls.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Sure I'm fair game. But you've made your point already. I could look any way, shape or form and you'd still be unhappy. In this sense, you've LOST any, ANY mild humourous effect you might have initially had by slagging me off!!! But, hey, if it makes you happy dude please carry on.

(P.S. If you drop me an email I'll send you some more pics. I'm happy to oblige).

― C-Man (C-Man), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:18 (twenty-one years ago)

"Aguirre, Wrath of God" is one of those films dir werner herzog, starring klaus kinski, soundtrack florian fricke/popol vuh (see also "Nosferatu", "Fitzcarraldo", "Cobra Verde"). It's kind of a little bit like "Apocalypse Now", only set in the time of the conquistadores, and filmed on 1/10000 of the budget. I think it's fucking great, though I suspect it's perhaps not to yr taste.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

no way dude you'll sign my email to porn sites!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

no, if you looked more like Dan K., I would've laid off by now.

PAINT THE FENCE!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Wanna guest review it for my column?

― C-Man (C-Man), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Is it a short column? And thin?

― Comment dits-on...eh... le NA? (Nick A.), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Sure I'm fair game.

Calum Robert Waddell is fair game? Oh good.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

SAND THE FLOOR, NED-SAN.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

For fuck's sake.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

But you've made your point already.

Calum to be fair I don't think you get to complain about people who've made their point already and who continue to go on & on & on & on & on & on & on long after everybody'd gotten the point & moved on

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

(hahaha J0hn OTM)Calum Robert Waddell

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

now I have an image of Dan as Sinead O'Connor as the Virgin Mary in "The Butcher Boy" saying, "Fer fuck's sake, Francie!" in my head

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Um, yay?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Is the movie of the Butcher Boy as completely harrowing as the book?

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

quick question - what was wrong with this one? (apols if I am missing something...)

― reclusive hero (reclusive hero), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Basically C-Man's eternal tactic is to try and salt in 'serious' threads among everything else. Like him in general, it's obvious and tiring as an attempt to show he's a good citizen. Apparently Momus is the only one who buys it these days.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned I do think it's rather more complex than you do. Which is natural, 'cause Calum has this pathological Ned-obsession. But still. Positive reinforcement is the ONLY method of behavior mod ever shown to work, so locking his "American band vs. British Band I Really Like, O Where Have the Good Old Days Gone" threads isn't gonna accomplish much, unless it makes people feel better, which admittedly it might.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

(xpost) Yes, but there's nothing wrong with that thread. If you want to ban him, surely it's easier to just ban him?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

calum's like larry flynt!!

― ..., Friday, 18 June 2004 14:00 (twenty-one years ago)

someone should write a william mcgonagall style epic poem, entitled "the locking of the avril thread"

"beautiful insightful avril thread!
what a pity andrew nf rendered it dead
all those thoughts and opinions forevermore stopped
when the devil of wh3rd rendered it locked

In the summer of the year two thousand and four
when young calum's threads had become such a bore...

(etc etc for something like 100 verses)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

it is difficult/impossible to ban a poster.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Pashmina I kiss you so hard for the McGonagall ref & sendup

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Is the movie of the Butcher Boy as completely harrowing as the book?

probably not quite, but still pretty damned harrowing. to my dismay, not the best date movie.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Positive reinforcement is the ONLY method of behavior mod ever shown to work

Except when someone takes advantage of that to assume it is an indulgence on the mods part and therefore open to abuse.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know how many times Pash's last post must be repeated before people understand this. (And the reason it is difficult is because the board code was never coded with security/authentication in mind, not because it's an inherently difficult problem.)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

This sounds like a subject for one of those old dramatic paintings:

The Locking of the Avril Thread

with musclebound ilxors in wrenching hieratic poses.

or would it be bosch?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:35 (twenty-one years ago)

rs we addressed the movie treatment of the thread title upthread

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

just to point out, it's fair to say that the vast majority of not entirety of threads that have been locked recently have been locked because they are STUPIDO rather than actually outrageous or offensive, no?

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

ILXOTR 2 - TLOTAT

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

with musclebound ilxors

We’re building fires that will burn until morning
The smell of books and hot stone surround us
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we make
We feel the steam as it rises around us
Up from the soil that is cracking it’s back
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that sing
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long

(aka, any given day in a mod's life)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

that's the prob, stevem--the majority of threads are pretty stupido, how come so few get locked?

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, I came to the party late without doing my homework.

― Rockist Scientist, Friday, 18 June 2004 14:51 (twenty-one years ago)

That's quite a mixed metaphor. Unless you normally do homework for parties.

― Comment dits-on...eh... le NA? (Nick A.), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, but there's nothing wrong with that thread. If you want to ban him, surely it's easier to just ban him?

I just want to chime in that I agree with this. It makes no sense to lock a thread just because of who starts it rather than because there's any offensive content in it.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

i wouldn't say the majority are rjg. i'm not sure your thread should've been locked either, tho it was kind of funny in a way.

stupid threads include ones started because the author didn't use the search function first (tho fair enough if they state they did but found nothing tho another poster may know of a previous thread)

they also include threads that are repetition in premise e.g. most of calum's threads. nodody else really does that, that's why they get so much attention when discussing this issue. they make a few people laugh (but for the fifth/tenth/fiftieth time tho?) but seem to irritate more. if anything most people are indifferent and ignore them and that's fair enough too. there appears to be no 'solution' to this 'problem'. but surely everyone would agree that making the same not-that-funny-in-the-first-place joke over and over again on a much loved and valued message board is bad form? the 'tone' of them seems 'disrespectful' as well as half-baked opinions are spouted without real foundation. not that this is offensive, just kinda annoying really.

i don't mind the copycat threads so much altho i guess that joke wears pretty thin pretty quick too.

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

the reason it is difficult [to ban posters] is because the board code was never coded with security/authentication in mind, not because it's an inherently difficult problem

More proof that lockism is the new rockism -- authentication is to lockism what authenticity is to rockism!
