A new ILX, a new compendium of our intreped hero Tuomas staring into the vast seas of mystery.

i meant more like a thread where we present tuomas both true and false bits of american pop cultural/political history and then he has to decide which are true and which are false but we never actually tell him.

maybe lorax can start it w/a true or false history lesson
― Local Christian Blues (schlump), Monday, 31 October 2011 14:18 (fourteen years ago)
That would be ridiculous since anything we presented could easily be checked on Google for the correct ans –– oh, I see where you're going with that.

I went searching for screencaps of that video after I posted that before coming to my senses.

Polly Jean looks bored and Bjork looks like she'd rather be anywhere other than listening to Tori Amos tell a story about something.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 27 January 2012 06:49 (fourteen years ago)
it's so true. it's tough to interpret this picture as anything other than tori amos ruining the evening
― SELF DEPORTATION (Z S), Friday, 27 January 2012 06:50 (fourteen years ago)
bjork's face is like "I'm sorry your hair is so frizzy Tori, also wtf are those shoes"
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 27 January 2012 06:56 (fourteen years ago)
Yeah Björk is full of pity for Tori tbh. I like how PJ already gave up being emphatic and started to roll a joint.

Elvis, care the to tell us who the people in your first and second pic are? I recognize only Amy Winehouse in the first, no one in the second.

I'm with Tuomas. Who are the guys in the second pic? And who's the guy next to Billy Idol?

xxps does MJ have one black hand still in that picture?
― sleepingbag, Friday, 27 January 2012 10:09 (fourteen years ago)
Not sure where you're counting. Pict #2 is the Olsen Twins, Amy Winehouse, and Karl Lagerfeld. Pict #3 is Al Kooper, Norman Rockwell, and Michael Bloomfield.
Milla Jovovich (with Beck)

And who's the guy next to Billy Idol?
Really? I guess you can't see his beret (which he wore all the time)
― Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 27 January 2012 10:17 (fourteen years ago)
I can see his beret and that doesn't help me. Only famous beret wearer we know in the UK is this guy:

OK then, beret guy is Sam Kinison.
― Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 27 January 2012 10:24 (fourteen years ago)
Yeah, I don't want to Tuomas up the thread, but it'd be good if people could post who is in the pictures, no matter how famous and obvious you think they are.

Kinison was one of those guys whose name you heard of but had virtually no prescence here.

Among the people in the front row are Louis Jordan, Nikita Khrushchev, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier, and Frank Sinatra

Photo reminds me of the Onion headline,"'Sinatra warns Russkies to knock it off - singer gives Khrushchev 24 hours to 'Drop This Commie Bunk or It's Ring-a-Ding-Ding for You Bozos'".
