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

some post from a bit ago about the evolution of ilx posters and it like starts w/ earnest posters and goes thru stages - just bumps, cryptic remarks, subboards only, etc

i feel liek thats the final step on the ilx journey: earnest music poster > stando ile person > sub bord mainstay > indecipherable one liners > sock master

^Some are cycling through that loop indefinitely, though. So it's difficult to tell whence they came.

they're all the same 3-5 ppl repeating their tested cycle with different details

Dan reviewing Doctor Who novels in no particular order

looking for threads:

businesses with terribly formed names

your child is a psychopath

uh ok just the latter one now

The psychopath (children and otherwise) starts w that recent nyt article about early childhood psychopathy diagnosis. I'm not sure if that's the one u mean?

I did find the NYT article but not the thread.

eh whatever

search prompted by last night's viewing of "We Need to Talk About Kevin" which is kind of a nightmarish thing to watch as a parent. not that I suspect either of my children of being psychopaths

couldn't link before bc zing but i'm at home now so

Psychopaths (Adult and Otherwise)

local businesses with horribly formed "names"

oh nm

thread for posting about expressions/idioms that really annoy u?

Words, usages, and phrases that annoy the shit out of you...

is there a thread where people try to figure out the real meanings of frequently misunderstood/understood in multiple ways phrases like "do you like to party" and shit like that?

real = interlocutor's intended meaning

Is there a relatively non-jokey Best Posters/Most Valuable Posters thread on ILE?

j., right

where is the original post that says something like "forecast says 100% tittays"?

was there a thread about countries that no longer exist?

is there any one thread dedicated to terrible tv commercials?

Worst TV adverts of the moment

Q. where is the original post that says something like "forecast says 100% tittays"?

A.

thanks!

xp... there was a post like that, right?! maybe ten years ago? and it got referenced a few times after...

you could be right, but I plugged in every variant of "tittays" I could think of and came up empty every time

i tried too... i'm obviously misremembering but someone posted a funny phrase like this during a discussion of summer weather.

haha found it!

THE GIRLS WALKING THE STREETS OF NEW YORK TODAY

weather forecast this weekend: 90% chance of tittaaayys

well damn. chances obviously seemed better in hindsight.

Success stories

There was a thread where GR8080 posted the video for "Weatherman" by Xavier Wulf and Bones. I can't remember what thread it was.

I thought it was that vaporwave and derivative products thread but that doesn't seem to be it?

Δ official ilx ΔΔΔΔ***ALTERED ZONES***ΔΔΔΔ addendum blog Δ

hurting you should check out: thraed for SPOOKY BLACK

I really dug that video.

do we have a thread for sharing philanthropic-related stuff?

This is not actually a thing "on ILX" (although it may have been posted here once), but I think there is a famous somewhat old quote from a famous writer sort of turning on its head the idea that men who have sex with a lot of women don't "respect" women whereas the "nice" "shy" types who don't get laid do. Came to mind in light of all the Rodgers/#notallmen stuff and a really good N+1 essay.

superhero/picard/sherlock holmes royal rumble thread

Amazing pt!

Oops wrong thread haha

there was a thread where a particular poster offered many very funny short stories from their family life when growing up (iirc most were only a sentence or two in length).

Was it My mother's incredibly stupid ex-husband ?

my description matches matos' thread but it's not the one i was thinking of. good suggestion though.

i found it: miniature family anecdotes

Can anybody point me to the thread(s) with the two Black Metal socks going at each other.

hi hi!

Czech blastcore and pagan culture

Can't c&p but search 'making love black metal' for arguably the best one

oh man I'd never seen that roxy thread, ty f&wa

the matos thread is awesome also.

Just reread the Czech one and it's incredible, but then at the bottom I claim there's an even better one involving a Deathkvult FAP. Riches of misery abound
