This is the thread where we ask people to dig up things on ILX we can't find

???

I found this:

Chef kills himself with an alarm clock...

The Energy Thread

Gah, no idea why that didn't turn up in search results. Thanks how's life!

Cat Piano was a bit like it, but no..

Wondermark, a comic strip
?

seems to have been posted by yourself though

Yeah, just forgot what it was after all those years.

Thanks!

Does ilx have a self-hatred thread? A thread on the subject of self-hatred.

This the closest I could find on search, but isn't really what I was looking for:

taking sides: self pity vs. self loathing

there was a reference in one of the old geir threads to a previous thread were geir broke his legendary cool after being accused of racism, i would like to see that thread

*where* geir

Is this the one?
Why does Europeans never want to listen to country music?

no that is a typical geir response to accusations of racism, this was supposedly a time he fought fire with fire, it would be prior to 2008 or so

geir used to post so much

it would take a preternaturally gifted archivist or eidetic memory to remember i am sure

A Paler Shade of White---Sasha Frere-Jones Podcast and New Yorker article Criticizing Indie Rock for Failing to Incorporate African-American Influences

?

I remember the rev talking about the time geir told him to shut the fuck up and then looking it up and it not quite being the meltdown I expected. I mean he does say it, it's right there, but immediately followed by standard-issue geirness, like he doesn't even know he just said it.

Geir is a product of the isolation and narrowness of his society - in Britain now only active / committed BNP supporters would share his obsession with race
What the fuck are you talking about?? "Obsession With Race"???
Personally I don't give a FUCK what skin colour people have got. I care about MUSIC! Eminem and El-P are just as crap and musically worthless as Public Enemy and Jay-Z while on the other hand, Seal and Tasmin Archer have both made a lot of great melodic music. This isn't a matter of race it is a matter of music. What music should be and what it should not be. And most, of all, it is a matter of defending the most beautiful invention Mankind has ever made: The full tempered melodic/harmonic music system!

Similar to what wins describes above.

Oh, I forgot to add italics, first line of that is a quote, if it's not clear.

oh now that is more like it! I don't remember ever seeing that one

Thats hardly a storied blowout by ilx standards, and def not by old ilx standards

agreed but by geir standards?

I mean I wouldn't presume to

you understand

Of course

Yeah, as someone stated back in those days, Geir managed to turn the other cheek so many times despite massive provocation. That one time was the biggest blowout I can remember, but it's also the best summary of his standpoint at the same time.

It doesn't mean it's right, but it does mean it's his opinion (as he stated sometimes, everything he posted had an implicit "in my opinion").

It doesn't mean it's right, but it does mean it's his opinion

lol

was there a thread where we were talking about new maps of the us w/ various redrawn state boundaries

A thread for coolbeautiful maps, charts, spectrosciencethingummys and stuff.

no that is a typical geir response to accusations of racism, this was supposedly a time he fought fire with fire, it would be prior to 2008 or so

pretty sure this is when I called him a nazi and he actually posted a "fuck you" in response, which was VERY uncharacteristic of him... I am blanking on what the actual thread was though arrgh

Is there an ilx thread on the subject of rave reviews that make the subject sound awful/ negative reviews that make the subject sound brilliant?

bad or negative reviews that sold you on an album

Thank you, just sayin. I like both rave reviews that make the subject sound awful and negative reviews that make the subject sound brilliant, rave reviews that make the subject sound awful probably have better comedy value but there's a pleasant narcissistic thrill you can get from negative reviews that make the subject sound brilliant.

a pen-and-ink drawing of two men standing facing each other. the guy on the left is holding a beehive on the end of a stick, and the guy on the right is sticking his dick into the beehive. the guy on the left is saying, "WHAT FEELS AWESOME?" and the guy on the right is saying, "THIS FEELS AWESOME!", and they both have rainbow-colored confetti (or maybe flowers?) streaming out of their mouths. very positive vibe all around. I think I saw it on ilx one time. help?

we get it

but can you find it?

no

but maybe if you tried different sonnet lines for 14 months?

hmm, it's worth a shot

(but if you think the picture doesn't exist and I'm just trying to show off my stupid gimmick display names, you're wrong)

and I did see it on ilx. maybe I should just commission Abbott to draw her own conception of it (but that wouldn't really be the same :-/ )

On a thread while talking about TinTin, the topic drifted to ligne claire and somebody posted a link to an adventure strip starring a boy in a skeleton costume/mask. Anybody remember where/who/what?

Oh weird I vaaaguely recall that comic but no luck on the name!

aha! Found it myself!

Herge lives...

Was there a thread about unusual people who post hundreds of videos of themselves talking into a camera to youtube?

new favorite weird shit on the internet: ASMR ROLE PLAY ~ Autonomous sensory meridian response ~

?

Not that one, I was thinking more in terms of people who post three videos a day of long semi-incomprehensible monologues or comedy skits delivered to a webcam.

hmm, in that case I'm really not sure.

gif of one of these where the camera zooms in and the hot dog bits are crying baby faces

where's the thread where people were trying to figure out what album one of the Beatles was holding in a press photo?

What album is John Lennon carrying as he walks into Abbey Road studios for the Sgt Pepper sessions?

great, thanks!
