BEST THREAD ON ILX: Part ONE - The Nominations

Now that's just being silly.

this contest needs spicing up. i suggest that all of the nominated threads that don't win the final poll be deleted forever. and the people who started them be banned. forever.

nah, too harsh. maybe you could do that for every thread not to get a vote, or something.

seperate poll for seconding

also, no 1p3 thread = no cred

OK, 24 hours until the poll. Get those nominations in!

Ralf Hutter's blind date: An ILX Collaborative Tragicomedy

About time I nominated something, btw:

The most interesting pieces of pop music trivia that you know (that are 100% false)

Worst of the web: Crappysavior.jpg edition. (a picture thread)

seconded.

"TS: My Little Pony vs. Care Bears" seconded, if it wasn't already.

my favourite ever was a thread called

B-E-L-T-S

but i can't find it :(

ah fuck, here it is

- - - Belts - - -

it wasn't Belt Water was it?

False music trivia seconded.

I second moley's vote for Ralf Hutters Blind Date. Thats some gold right there.

What about the "In Every (x) Ever" threads? Those seem almost impossible to search, though.

And the one where people describe memories of their life from when they were 11 yrs. old or so...I can't find that one, either.

I'm unsure regarding Jagga's ambiguous rules and subequent attempts at clarifying 'em whether something has to be seconded to be part of the final poll...but at any rate, I second "So Not Gonna Happen".

Yeah one of my noms (the "sing along to Da Funk") hasnt been 2nded :(

Yeah, I know I started it, but I'm not willing to overlook the tremendous contributions of teh ILX community to WDYLL when machines are trying to kill you: favorite product warning labels thread out of humility.

What about the "In Every (x) Ever" threads? Those seem almost impossible to search, though.

Yes, those are great! I would second a collective vote for them if that's the best we can do - but my favorites are the one about childrens' action-adventure cartoons (I think it's just called Stock Plots For Action-Adventure Cartoons), old movies generally, and suburban dens from the 80s.

Nah, the best of those is the coffee house one. Which I have searched for, without avail!

Even just searching for threads with title "Every" doesn't work - is this for some reason a blacklisted word?

The stopword list on the search engine is ridiculously long and full of really not all that common words, it is frustrating.

Not nomming as such, but using Google I found some for the benefit of others:

in every cop show ever
top100- stock plot devices for children's action/adventure cartoons
IN EVERY POXY FULE EVER:

NO luck on old movies or coffee shops! WTF!

Argh! Why I am I getting stupid "The requested resource (/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet%3Fboardid%3D40%26threadid%3D50907) is not available." msg's when I try to clink on the links that Doctor Casino posted?!

me toooooo :(

Anyhow, thanks for your detective work Doctor. I think I've only managed previously to pull up the "In every POXY FULE..." one before using the google search.

Trayce is right, I think that both "every" and "ever" are excluded from the search engine.

Man, I totally wanna read the coffeehouse one now. I remember the old movies one being esp. brilliant. (and '80's suburban dens was no slouch, either)

In every coffeeshop ever

In every suburban den 1983-1989

in every old movie ever

I love those ones. Also (forgive me):

How can you tell you're in an Australian soap opera?

Let's see if this works now:

top 100 stock plot devices for children's action/adventure cartoons

success!

ok...

in every cop show ever

in every poxy fule ever

I am so sad I missed the Paul Rudd threads. love!

I remember when he was on the Daily Show (for like the 465th time) discussing Gen Y Cops!

Wow, don't know what went wrong with my links but THANK YOU THANK YOU to dell - how the hell did you find them? I swear to god "old movie" got me nowhere.

shucks, it's all in a day's work.

But seriously, prayer, my brother, prayer.

Ah the Aussie soap thread was great :D

Feel Like Making Lunch

Yeah, I dunno why the links you posted didn't work. Maybe the ILX Central Control Unit just happened to burp at that moment or something.

I found the "in every old movie ever" one by putting "movie" into the plain ol' ILX search engine, and then flipping through a dozen or so pages of results. I have fast eyeballs or something. It's one of my few talents in life.

I'm just glad that you and Ned were able to bring to mind the specific subjects of those threads. All I could recall was that the "in every X ever" ones were pretty great in general...which doesn't help search-wise!

Shucks. Let's hear it for ILX teamwork!

Having now read it, I second "In every coffee shop." ILXors write what they know. It's also one of the elite threads to sustain a multi-post revive as a result of THIS thread.

in every coffeeshop seconded
