Clusterfuck Summary Corner 2 - Back on the Corner

I had no idea what Gawker was either, though I'm sure I'd saw it mentioned before, probably on ILX, I do own a TV however

I am not kidding fwiw

I feel you tuomas, 100% of my knowledge of Gawker comes from that thread, it's certainly not a site I would have ever bothered to be aware of otherwise

lol

wait I guess I heard about Gawker first on the Rob Ford thread, so that's not entirely true. Still my awareness of their schtick is 100% ILX-based. I mean, why would I bother to read that shit, I have better things to do.

for the record let me state here and may it be known forever that i only know about pitchfork media from the pitchfork is dumb part #345345346543543543534543654765 thread, why would i bother to read that shit otherwise?

jk i read pitchfork everyday

Οὖτις, there are some ilxors who would lol at you if you said you do more reading in books than on the internet. to them this is equivalent to living your in a cave and crapping on the ground.

American ILXors maybe. There are others, not that many anymore but still...

i lol'd cause he had been strenuously arguing about a website he claims never to have read for the past week

i read books

lol waht I made no strenuous arguments about gawker I barely posted on that thread

Οὖτις, there are some ilxors who would lol at you if you said you do more reading in books than on the internet. to them this is equivalent to living your in a cave and crapping on the ground.

first sentence is correct, second isn't.

or rather, first sentence is correct if you mean people would lol if you posted on ilx that you did more reading in books than on the internet. private conversation less likely.

glad somebody's finally standing up for books

private conversation less likely

tbf, most of the lols on the interent are not actually laughing out loud, either

ilx IS definitely fond of nose-tweaking folks who have lots of time for it but regularly announce they have little time for crap. personally i think speaks well of our irreverence towards ourselves.

I have so much time for crap I can't even tell you.

i am made of crap

sure vegemite isn't that bad

living your in a cave

*reads a book*

*watches a bird*

*wishes a new clusterfuck would distract everyone*

*wishes that clusterfuck to occur on the Spoon poll*

ty, wins. I'd fix that, but ilx doesn't allow me to correct my typos. is it like that for you, too?

imago you are sorely neglecting your powers of clusterfuck-production

*on the internet lol @ cavemen*

I type words the in right order

oh shit

nobody wants to clusterfuck about ornithology

maybe if i wish beaky death upon the dogs and maybe children of all who support this media-stoked herring gull cull

*watches a bird*

*wishes a new clusterfuck would distract everyone*

*wishes that clusterfuck to occur on the Spoon poll*

as the most banned poster of ilx, i have confidence in your ability to be the change you want to see

I read books. Don't mind the flickerings of light on the cave wall that is ILX either.

today i walked about 12 miles to identify a single sandpiper, and at the end of it all, it was a common sandpiper

you ask how i knew it'd be there - i just did, ok

i don't even know what spoon sound like

they sound like the piping of a very mundane oystercatcher

that sounds sexual?

cribbing saer's shtick here you all say - but when, if ever, might a dryad visit the shoreline?

take it to another thread, pal

whenever xo

i'd take yer side in that particular debate imago, being back in the company of sociopathic seagulls is one of the major pros of getting out of london and visiting home

there were two robbing the bins of a massive golf hotel the other day, they were so brazen and i was bowled over

there's a perfectly good thread for you talk about your beloved avians -- please stop inconveniencing ppl that want to read up on ilx clusterfucks

i was talking about gawker writers there

imago you and me are gonna beef about vegemite fyi

you're thinking of bovril

THAT IS IT

Allow me! (aimless takes a small white handkerchief from his breast pocket and sweeps away a few specks of accumulated dust from:)Discuss Bovril

(clears throat pointedly)

maybe if i wish beaky death upon the dogs and maybe children of all who support this media-stoked herring gull cull

Two summers ago I was staying at a friend's house in his village outside Cambridge. He had a hunting license and a number of shotguns, and I agreed to go out shooting with him. On the first day I hit nothing save for a tin can. On the second day, we lay in wait in a copse until a plump woodpigeon sat athwart an overhead branch. I brought it down with one blast and wrung its neck before stuffing it into my jacket. Later that evening we would eat its breast, fried and then halved, over toast. But what stays from me particularly was what happened shortly afterwards. An oncoming rustle from a hedgerow alerted me to some impending beast. Yet I was stayed from cocking my gun - lack of hunter's instinct perhaps - as then a bright fox burst from the grasses and stood not three yards away. We contemplated one another and then the fox set off in a straight line away from me, at no more than a brisk trot. My friend had spoken of a local fox who had long eluded his sights - perhaps this was the very one - anyhow, I cocked my gun, raised it to my shoulder as instructed, took aim at the target from a distance of approximately thirty to forty feet, and fired. I am not sure what force tilted my arm that day, but the fox, intact, veered back into the undergrowth, and barring a subsequent half-hearted crack at a flying pheasant that naturally also missed, I have never fired a weapon since. Indeed, I am grateful that I never did hit that fox, for foxes are magnificent animals, dear to me since early youth, and I would hate to have slain some beast I wasn't even intending to eat. The pigeon? It is done, and it will not be done again.
