BEST THREAD ON ILX: Part ONE - The Nominations

Oh yeah, "oink invites".

;-)

oink invites was going on this list whether it was nominated or not

I wish I could find that thread where I'd written about the orgasm competition. My computer at home crashed and I lost my original story :(

I missed that one :(

This is the best thread on ILM ever : "Down In The Tube Station At Midnight" by The Jam - What Does It Mean?

Hey now come on LJ ya cant cheat and put stuff on no one nominates :P

I quite enjoyed the impersonations thread from a selfish point of view.

Most fun one this year was CJ's crush thread.

the ILM thread about not very good evening session bands.

Seconded. Also the Ethan and Jess (mainly) 'hits of the 90s' one that I can't find. There is a really good before-my-time Manic Street Preachers thread with a golden Calum meltdown and all my other favourites have all been listed already I think

I haven't read this whole thread .... we've had Gear's couch one, right?

Someone please find the ultra old-skool thread about diverting the Thames through Camden please.

xxxxpost: Don't worry, I'm not gonna do that, just that Oink Invites is some sort of Internet high-point.

Gear's couch is safely on the list.

this thread:
"And" six times in a row

"and" six times in a row.

My favourite ILM thread ever:

Ladies and Gentlemen...The 40 Most OMGWTFLOL(ROFFLE) Songs Of The 90s.

If Matos stepdad thread doesnt win, I'll off myself.

I don't think anyone has mentioned the thread yet about Kraftwerk and Yello stealing Chris Martin's baby.

Manic Street Preachers : Clasur Neu Methiant

This is the thread where we reminisce over not particularly good Evening Session bands from the late 90s

Can someone link to Matos' stepdad thread, please?

"And" six times in a row

Great thread, particularly this gem from koogs:
still:
Wouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after?

Matos thread: My mother's incredibly stupid ex-husband

Absolute gold.

Louis:

My mother's incredibly stupid ex-husband

Dohh.

xpost city arizona!

My other favourite genre of ILX thread is the intense passionate mass argument over something utterly inconsequential. Prime examples being:

Taking Sides: Another Think Coming v Another Thing Coming

Defend the Indefensible: British People Not Rinsing Soap Off the Dishes

Is pizza pie?

Why do British washing machines take two hours???

Haha nice one Matt. The thing/think thread I will second. That blew my mind.

In fact at the time it prompted an LJ post and my LJ post got heaps of OMG responses and arguing as well.

American exasperation over how Brits do is a hard craft to master.

Did someone mention Bobby Gillespie?

Elephant, room:

Czech blastcore and pagan culture

None of yer LOL80s bullshit

"When mods get shook" thread is your perfect slow build to absolute ridiculousness, we will not see the likes of the Marcello screed/maracas.jpg/Menezes.jpg triple-whammy again

ILX Screenwriters Presents 'It was all Yello: The Coldwerk Sessions'

I was gonna mention the Yello/Kraftwerk/Chris Martin & Gwyneth Paltrow thread, but I thought that would've looked too self-aggrandizing, since I contributed heavily to it. However, now I can second the nomination.

Excelsior: The Book

Taking Sides: The Pixies Vs Placebo
Sleeper vs The Strokes

Richard Hammond may be dead by the time you open this thread

woops meant good luck, Top Gear/Brainiac dude

Red, Red Wine; A Gothic Tribute To UB40

Wait, is that for real?!

AGGH my midget co-worker has caused me trouble!

are crushes awesome or what?

Takes about a month of posts for it to warm up, but when it does: WOWZA

a watershed was breached that day

TS Progress vs Novelty
The Great Moving Right Show II: The Kirsty and Phil Years

It's sad that the picture Australian Kate drew of Gear's dream girl on the co-worker thread isn't up anymore. That was a great piece of Internet interaction.

lj@gger did the above situation involve that American? young lady you were co-presenting with on your student radio station show

This is the creepiest post.

Check out the sex-face on this tortoise.

An empty cigar tube filled with wasps makes a good vibrator.

Actually, it's a straight fite between Missionary Position and Wasp Vibrator for me. Fuck all the others.

the snorg girl looks crazy

Best ILM thread ever (IMHO):

This is the thread where we anticipate and then flip out over how great M.I.A.'s 'Arular' is

Particularly from this point on:

This is the thread where we anticipate and then flip out over how great M.I.A.'s 'Arular' is

I SECOND THE WASP VIBRATOR THREAD
