Me too. It was dinky and stuff. I was envious.

In Lousy chat related googling - I still cannot find the origin of 'How's your father'.

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 23 September 2004 11:33 (twenty-one years ago)

a bit of the old "how's your father"

No one has recounted that Anna, who had left just before Blur showed, is trying to research an article about groupies. I suggested that, to be helpful to Anna, someone should seduce Blur and report back, but no one was up to it. Then it occurred to me that The Pinefox has made records, so I tried to seduce him, but it didn't really take. Sorry, Anna: at least I tried.

I put a 20p tip into their stupid fucking glass of water. I wish I hadn't bothered now.

I thought Blur seemed quite nice.

i'm sure they're good to their mams

They were right in front of me when I walked into Freuds so it looked as if I was with them - I could see people all over the bar, turning to their confreres and saying, "Who are those guys with Dadaismus?"

― Dadrockismus (Dada), Thursday, 23 September 2004 12:23 (twenty-one years ago)

you were just a PAWN in their game

-- Dadrockismus (kcoyne3...), September 23rd, 2004. (later)

nice- about time you did that.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 23 September 2004 12:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Dada, at first I thought your sharp Crombie marked you out as part of their entourage, as possibly an assistant from CMO (mgmt co).

A13x used to live on 3nd311 Street and it's his old local (he lives out of London now). Were they not having a pleasurable business drink, I'd have stayed chatting to him for ages, probably. Mostly I was sharing some *extreme* good news about work and inviting them to the corresponding launch at the end of October (finally able to reciprocate some of the hospitality they've showed me, which is nice).

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 23 September 2004 12:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Martin S, I did not know that you were trying to seduce me. I did point out that you looked smart, when you entered.

I don't think that cuddling N. sounds painful. I would like to do it myself, in theory.

If I seemed to be saying that N. had aged, what I was trying to say was that he had not. What I was saying was that he still looked terrific. I will reiterate that now, for clarity.

N. was on form. I told him, not that so much, but a more detailed version. I told him that his absence had grown more vivid. I found him a slightly changed person, in a way - a good way. His company warmed my heart, for a little while.

It is funny when N. says that he thought PJM was a tramp.

Why is Lara saying that Christian Slater might be posting as me, and what is the relation between 'Christian Slater' and 'Christina Slater'?

I don't really get what JtN says about ironic bold. My sense was that he did want to go to a bar, and I believe that we would not have gone to a bar if he had not made the suggestion.

'Paper Chase' by Jimmy Webb, recorded by Art Garfunkel, is good.

It was good to see the pome, Cozen.

Steady M's point about caricatures is about right. Even the expressions and the way they acted did have an air of caricature, it's true. My feeling was of, say, a hyperreality. They were real, flesh and blood like you and I were; but they were also echoes of many years' worth of representation. Perhaps the result is aura. Perhaps this is related to what Walker Percy says about stars in The Moviegoer.

Greatest post in the history of ILE there, above, from the Pinefox.

I like how he gently tries to set the record straight, compliments people and seeks to clarify misunderstandings.

I wish I had been able to be there, last night.

Note several extra commas were included in this post, [there goes another one] in homage to The Pinefox.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Thursday, 23 September 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

But the Pinefox's use, of commas, is, surely, an homage, of sorts, to RJ, G?

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 23 September 2004 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I tht it wz the Pinefox, who started it.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 23 September 2004 14:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah, I see. The pupil has outstripped the master. Like Westlife and Boyzone.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 23 September 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

And Darth Vader.

Comma Me Badd

Comma Comedians

― teh pow! (blueski), Thursday, 23 September 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Throw Comma From The Train.

I have always thought of it, as an RJG thang.

The Pinefox has so many other, thangs.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

The Pinefox, the 'seduction' was me suggesting I should shag you to help Anna's article. You took it as a joke, which is fair enough.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

The commas thing is pathetic.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:28 (twenty-one years ago)

markelby = comma police

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Saucer, of milk, Barry?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

people who disguise themselves in commas = comma chameleon

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

when people get bored by commas = comma coma

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

people who destroy commas = comma killer

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread is now officially dead. Please stop fucking it in the skull.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:35 (twenty-one years ago)

And that's a full stop.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:35 (twenty-one years ago)

commas are ok.

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

good even.

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

What happened to the full, stop?.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

u.g.l.y.

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

markelby is a prick.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Look, no commas!!

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd never noticed a comma thing, to be honest.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, it's everywhere; it's very comma-on.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I mean, inappropriate use of commas.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Tony Benn was cool, he smoked his pipe.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

c,r,o,s,s,p,o,s,t,

Oh, right, I see. Must have, to some extent, escaped your attention, jel. RJ,G uses them for dramatic effect, mostly.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Martin wants to sleep with comma people

― teh pow! (blueski), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

This is like the Commalympics.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

commas die.

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

comma stay.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Mine was a xpost.

Alba still resembles my best friend from junior high. It's quite eerie. She was a nice girl. I'm not saying you look like a girl, Nick. I'm saying she looked like a handsome young man.

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm only posting the very stoopid pic of me in Starry's hat cos Alba took it. PinefoxandAlba1 seemingly falls foul of the new size rules cos it's portrait not landscape. Go and link, it's the best one.

Later things got even grainier. There's a Baconesque pic of Carsmile I can't post because it'll be before the watershed in some time zone.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:40 (twenty-one years ago)

awww

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 24 September 2004 00:11 (twenty-one years ago)
