I think you are there confusing "most people" with "you", which

Chairman Meow -- Best Cat Name?

nah it was lamp iirc, im nude spock

you guys are all boring the shit out of me right now, fyi

see dumb shit like this is why I've stuck with the same (admittedly stupid) ID since I got here. the "who's who" schtick is so tiresome

xp A friend had a three-legged cat he called Battlescar Galacticat, that's a pretty good cat name

Been lying to everyone the whole time. I'm Alan McGee.

Nah, Alan McGee has been ghost-written by Doomie for the past 10 years. You're an impostor.

as a pretentious teenager I named our cats Sanctus and Benedictus; my mother hated these names with a passion and called them BC (for Baby Cat) and Benny

after years of perspective, my mom OTM

Our 6th grade class voted the class guinea pig to be named "Demon Child" and it was made "Squeaky" by teacher fiat.

np: shirley ellis "the name game"

as a pretentious teenager I named our cats Sanctus and Benedictus

Haha wau that is literally the most pretentious thing I have ever heard.

my cats name is mittens - some ilxor

some people really get off on being bored - it makes them "wet"

xp Really I think those are pretty awesome cat names
Might've gone too far in naming your children Gloria and Angus tho

there you go, zing cru style

ILM doesn't exactly give off an enthused and excited vibe

Then you're reading the wrong threads.

considering this as my first tattoo

Half the reason I haven't really got the grip of twitter is because ilx has been doing the job better for me for so long. Between ilx and Facebook who needs it? I feel with twitter I'm just throwing stones down a well waiting to hear them splash.

seriously

i find ilm to be a hospitable place most of the time, but i only have the time/inclination to talk about stuff i like
why waste time talking about stuff i don't like?!

oops that was an xp

WCC/Ned: Doomie stopped being a surrogate Alan more than two years ago, when burned out by indulged-rich-person conspiracy theories/Illuminati nonsense; he's in Toronto with a decent job now.

Haha wau that is literally the most pretentious thing I have ever heard.

it gets better; the names were inspired by our high school concert choir performing John Rutter's Requiem

(I posted the Agnus Dei link because at the time I thought it was AMAZING)

that reminds me of how I wanted my yearbook quote to be "FATUM IUSTUM STULTORUM" because of bungie's Marathon

I think sometimes ILX can be te sounding board more than the person to person deep discussion - like no Ann LAndry or rue mclahanan is gonna come up in tihs niotch and show her waushy wuashy to t wrold

The big change in ILX for me is that I struggle to think of anything to say on it. Or indeed anywhere.

...I feel like there are some Ilx stalwarts who were whipped into shape via constant hazing, tho part of it is prob people started to feel affection toward them via having abused them so much

yeah i think that reverse stockholm syndrome is a real thing

or just strong dislike or feeing repulsion towards someone ending up creating strong connection. at least in romcoms... but they also reward stalking behavior, so

lol boring is p much the perfect go-to dismissal of anything. fn plain text message board.

aha but u do agree it is perfect

...I feel like there are some Ilx stalwarts who were whipped into shape via constant hazing, tho part of it is prob people started to feel affection toward them via having abused them so much

i dunno that i'm in terribly good shape, but i attracted a hail of well-deserved brickbats from zing cru (among others) when i started posting here. i resented it, of course, but i think it's been helpful in the long run.

In re Nath's question about where I am: hi there!

Hurrah! Ah, I suddenly remember you visiting us (T and I) in Bruges. Going to M.I.A. Me with a pregnant belly. She's SIX now. Gosh, time flies!

Wait, the zing cru helped you refine your posting style? They _do_ have a lot to answer for.

I think ned trifle said something similar at one point

okay, that's two for the list, andrew and mh, noted

what are you making a list of?
