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

huh why did that not come up when I searched either word, weird. thanks!

1. there was a thread where people were recounting the worst things they'd ever done to another human being. most people posted lameshit like "I cheated on my girlfriend lol", but then someone posted a long gruesome story about how they nearly killed one of their childhood friends by placing an obstruction in front of their bike tire as they rode down a hill.

2. there was a thread where people were recounting their encounters with celebrities. someone claimed to have met Van Morrison in a bathroom, and the stench emanating from Van's stall was so bad that they basically concluded (and several other posters concurred) that Van's life was no longer worth living.

found #2! (but not #1):

I once sat in the next cubicle to Van Morrison as he grunted his way thru a really big shit - anyone whos insides smell that bad must be medically dead.

there was a youtube somebody posted of a remixed version of Rick Perry's announcement speech? probably somewhere on the clown-car thread, but I can't seem to locate it

For all time:

I googled something the other day and one of those dude's faces came up. I almost forgot they were real.

there was a thread where someone posted a great link by some science/tech blogger about why tech guys are so bad at politics or figuring out political solutions, since they try to act like there's some rational middleground between left and right positions ... I have no idea what the thread subject was (tech bros? libertarians? climate change?) and I can't remember the name of the blog.

ring a bell with anyone?

i forget what the thread was but it was a vox article

ah thank you

the argument about South Park's politics made me think of this

definitely similar viewpoints imo

yeah in their case I think the "we make fun of everybody!" defense reinforces a false equivalency

we make fun of everyone, black, white, poor, rich, purple

I used to be poor and purple when I was young!

ugh parker/stone/south park is the worst

can somebody point me towards the thread where people were inventing nonsense platitudes and idioms in the vein of 'he who looks a raven in the eye on a thursday will let Friday's porridge oats go cold'?

make up some fake, inscrutable adages and post them here

thx

on the "artist picture facebook" image macro laff thread there was one a year or so ago that was particularly good: something like, "if a woman walks away, she's either..." and then there were like 3 things that were nonsensically and ungrammatically listed and very grim or at least uninspirational. like, screaming or dying inside was one of them?

anyone?

You remember "This is dog" ?

There was a photostrip thing which had captions, from "Dracula" Gary oldman, can't find it

Last time I looked, I found the movie clip instead.

You know, .. "It's A Joke!"

excellent thank you

what's the thread about whether there is a future for left-wing / liberal (political) thought? i can't come up with the magic word to find it

idk this thread but this one is about general right-wing trends in the west:
Is the West Experiencing a Right-Wing Drift?

naw, i'm sure i'm thinking of an ideas thread not a reality thread

things you're secretly kinda absurdly liberal about ?

naw it's like, does the left have any more oomph in it, that thread

Thread about the miseries of being tall? Lots of banging heads on things. Only other participant I can remember is Carl Agatha.

I hate being a tall man in a small world

this one? there are about a dozen of these threads, though

Thank you! I guess it was not Carl Agatha in that thread.

the fuck. shit. piiiiiiiiss. thread

hmmmm

technically a violation

use "watching/saying" as your search string

Thanks!

Where can I find the most thorough discussion on the topic of whether or not to have kids?

Is there any rational reason for having kids?

thank you!

Photo series. Dracula, incorporating the "Yes., this is dog" pic. 'It's a joke'.

Never seen it since.

Oh well.

Is there a Lawrence Kasdan thread? Or do all Lawrence Kasdan-related posts go onto the Big Chill thread?

does anyone remember the name of the thread where la lachera learns how to play drums and other ilx drum people offer tips and links to cool drum things? i'm afraid i can't compensate you for your help, as i blew all of my remaining GP on chainmail and tents, and i have far to go on this journey. however, i can offer you some information: the water fountain in the ancient town of borad is not merely broken, as many of the inhabitants believe. in fact, it is being used as a secret passageway between the village square and the building where the town's erstwhile mayor is being held under house arrest. i can tell you more, but only if you also tell me the name of the drum thread so i can post my cool link. #resist

nm, mookie saved the day (DRUMMERS: Advice for a beginner)

disregard what i said about the fountain

:D
