puns that you had missed

sticking with ilxors in cool navelgazing style while also watching the Spain match it just occurred to me that Sgt Biscuits = Sergio Busquets

or maybe not?

fwiw i have always assumed "wins" was a reference to the Winsock TCP/IP spec

That has come up before, but I had never heard of it & assumed ppl were playing on "windsock"

wins is layer 8 of the OSI model

the wins layer

I have no idea what that means

think it's a breaking bad reference

xp means you operate at the highest level

smdh ppl won't go study a simple chart to get a dece ref these days

/!! Just this instant got that the band name Spacehog had two meanings. I never got thought of the one about hitting space./

What does this mean? And, for that matter, this:

/the twitter name "emily post-punk" (i thought it was just an emily who liked post-punk)/

Oh many xps. First of all, my post contains an inexplicable typo. Should read !! Just this instant got that the band name Spacehog had two meanings. I never thought of the one about something hogging a lot of space.

The only meaning I thought before was a hog from outer space.

I didnt get the Sotosyn/Tennyson thing either fwiw.

(i can see wins wince)

'Splatoon'. I thought I got it, it was because the artstyle is cartoony. Just realized I didn't get it at all.

hey, it's entirely possible it has registered at some point down the years, but it's barely even a pun as such

― Twee Speech and Crepey Literalism (Noodle Vague),

2014 was the year that I finally went "omg, Noodle Vague: Nouvelle Vague!" incidentally

^ my worst instance of missed punning was when I almost set my display name as "Noodelle Vague" as a pun on NV's user name before twigging that that was the joke.

sometimes now it feels like a real name tbh

Awp! I never connected the
a) Noodle wave, or the
b) Lawn sotosyn
either

homebase???

I give up, what's the homebase pun?

I didnt get the Sotosyn/Tennyson thing either fwiw.

Is it part Solzhenitsyn ref too?

Maybe, I always assumed "osyn" an awkward transposition of "yson" but I'd like it if there were an extra layer

homebased god

Ash Ra Tempel - Hash Jar Tempo

is the pushcart prize a play on the pushkin prize

did not realize until now that thread title is a pun of one of Atrus' best lines in popular videogame Myst

I played chess against Arnold Schwarzenegger once. I set up the pieces on the board, and he said "I'll be Black".

That joke just went up to Arnold Schwarzenegger and told him, "I'll be wack."

"I'm a friend of Sarah Punner."

Is the Italian for Donovan = Capo Di Tutti furgone?

... interesting because I only noticed recently that every copy of i-D has someone winking on the cover.

... also that a guy I know was art director there in the 90s.

(an ilxor has been on said cover)

Darraghmac?

Would suggest momus but how would you know he wasn't just blinking

Just watched "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" and was like "ohhhhh"

Friday's Los Angeles Times had a story about Hitler's book coming out of copyright that was headlined "New Mein Kampf causes furor" yesterday, which I didn't notice until one of my sisters pointed it out.

Just seeing i.d. mentioned. Been hoping to find my box of early issues dating back to it being a fanzine.
The early editions were far more personal style orientated. They mainly consisted of individuals photographed in the street etc showing off their own personal style choices. I think that had to do with why the mag got the title. It was about personal identity as displayed through clothing hence i.d.
I've been leafing through copies in newsagents recently and think it's mainly lost that aspect. Seems to be more about trendier styling. More about stylists than the d.i.y. thing it started as.
You wouldn't think to look at its glossy current look that it started as a stapled post punk fanzine.
