BEST THREAD ON ILX: Part ONE - The Nominations

David James Fanclub

Any thread which features Mark S's dinosaur animated gif.

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

Another one I remember fondly but haven't checked up on yet: the one about whether to put single or double spaces after the end of sentences. Who knew ILX had so many professional typesetters with axes to grind?

TS: Denny Lethargy VS. Denny Vertigo

And the one about Ally's co-workers, though I seem to recall it was deleted.

ILX: intense passionate mass argument over something utterly inconsequential

The Tragedie of Michael Jackson, King of Pop

^^^^ESSENTIAL

The ally co-worker thread was some fantastic stuff, I'm sure it got C&P-ed into another thread when she left her workplace?

The Evening Session Crap Bands and the Jam Tube Station threads are pure gold - I'd forgotten about them. Has the one with MS Paint album covers been mentioned yet?

What was the thread when we discovered Americans wash their towels after every use and we argued about the need to rinse dishes?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you What is the most unacceptable thing to ever come out of your ass?

Searching for threads started by Hanle y is proving useful.

What's a goodf band name for these dudes?

still think against all administrators is a great band name

another ilm favorite

Steely Dan: "Steely Dan's name has been popping up as a hip musical crush. Remember, this glossy bop-pop was the indifferent aristocracy to punk rock's stone-throwing in the late 70's. People fought

MINIMAL HOUSE BOBBINS

Or really the original mega threads, Jay-Z / Nas hip-hop throw down. and its children.

i'm sort've pleased that i kickstarted the whole Down in the Tube Station at Midnight thread, it makes my years as a teenage Jam fan almost feel worthwhile

Rationalising the Confines of the Shop Parlour

Account Deletion?

I Am God

Every time I read http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=40&threadid=19398 I get a warm feeling inside. Similarly I have loved watching the babies grow up on the rolling parenting threads.

WAHT IS MOST AWESOMEST (jimmy the mod was too "busy" to start this poll)

That will only be the best thread on ILX after the bears win.

People Who Put More Salt On Their Food Before Even Tasting It

Most consistently entertaining thread over the years*:
Let's bitch about our stupid, annoying co-workers

*this maybe due to the fact that I do most my ilx'ing at the office

this was quite popular i seem to recall

what's the one with the homo-erotic sports imagery? that one's all time blood diamonds respek knuckles yoga flame.

-- Edward III

One of my all time favourites. Never any shortage of new material.

Favorite unintentionally homoerotic sports imagery

that WAHT IS MOST AWESOMEST thread has definite potential, as long as Kerm and jhoshea keep up the good work.

there should be a separate category for best one-two punch of thread title/first post

Can't believe this all-time classic comedy gold thread hasn't been mentioned:
TS: Most Retarded-Looking Barenaked Ladies Member on This Album Cover

Barenaked Ladies thread is brilliant.

YES

+ ILX The Book, obv

what's the one on nb where ethan harrasses hapless soulseekers?

NO. (☃)

Among the many threads of hilarity, inspired bickering and general WTFness that have been nominated here, I would like to nominate a kinder, gentler thread, in the off hope that all the white couches, Lysol douches and photoshopped insanity will split the vote and leave room for a dark horse to walk away with the honors:

A thread where you commission a poem from ILE

NO. (☃) seconded.

i dont even see ethan on that thread

What's the format going to be for this, anyway? Classic ILX email poll or nuILX autopoll? I'm hoping for the former, and maybe even a pre-polling thread where we argue the merits of the finalists.
