Old ILX Posts Which Continue To Haunt Your Thoughts

"i'm so underground it ruined my life"

Its emotional honesty is evocative. Haven't we all been there at some point, really.

yeah it's nicely written for sure.

that was the closest thing I could find to hootie and the bf giving the gas face, sorry

Lg otm, "from this, I draw the conclusion" lol no you fucking don't, that is not how logic or anything works

What a stupid conclusion to pretend to draw

Lots of people with or without chunky wives liked lots of different things at school, it's a large world, this means literally nothing, nothing at all, you'd think a disco nihilist would have gleaned this much

are you guys aspies?

Lol no I get that the thing here is supposed to be ether emotional recognition that haven't we all thought stupid thoughts like "why does it always rain on me, is it because I liked throbbing gristle when I was seventeen", mostly just pushing back against the idea that this is "correct" it obv isn't

just cos something makes you feel cool doesn't mean it's right

like smoking xpost

haunting post not backed up by the data, posters object

that vageen was average at best

tuomas eight years ahead on NOOICE tho'

pushing back on the idea that my thinking the post was correct isnt correct is correct, its not

how far along have we gotten now?

the fact you think it's correct on this exact topic is a damning indictment

You shouldn't get into the arts bc you think it will make you happy. Idk why you should get into it but def not to be happy

the fact that you think my thinking its correct is a damning indictment is a mild indictment

how far along have we etc

have you guys seen hootie lately? he looks way better than he did in the 90s. i bet he's vegan

that vageen was average at best

dying

A friend of mine slept with a woman who had extensive internal scarring (childbirth), apparently it was like sliding past fossilised worms. Not exactly "ribbed for his pleasure".

why was first thread locked btw

a few weeks ago i saw a guy walking down cambridge heath road by himself. he had A Look that was arresting, it was like troo 70s, huge billowy flowing jeans with wide bellbottoms, a - yes - v-neck tee - and hair that looked like a bowl cut had been allowed to grow out for a couple of months. he was about 25 or so, just cutting through the world like a ship unmoored from time.

"just cutting through the world like a ship unmoored from time" goes through my head a lot

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.

and yes, a relevant ILTMI thread just got bumped reminding me...but this post pooped into my head a few days ago as well, so worth recording. The guy had a gift :/

all-time typo imo

lol

ahhahahaha

It's kind of amazing how permanently-etched that post has become in my feces.

Argh, I mean 'mind', stupid autocoprophilia.

crazy, i was totally haunted by that post the other day when the sports radio guys were talking about wafflestomper boots

you might want to check out posts by this dude ian reese-morane or whatever dude's name was - very precious, anglo scarfy, his style/taste/everything was nearly identical to yours. identical. and here's the thing: dude was screwing his mom. so when alot of people read yr posts right or wrong they're thinking 'this guy fucks his mom' and alot of people find that repulsive, like almost as bad as liking gay dad repulsive. so maybe pipe down a little more, lose some of yr sparkle. or maybe just start posting as ian reese-moraine is on the scene againe that way you can borrow some of that motherfucker's immunity.

today when I read an Old Lunch post that began with "Here's the thing:" my brain immediately filled in "dude was screwing his mom."

It's the implicit subtext of many of my posts.

they started out friends

it was cool but it was all pretend
yeah yeah
screwing his mom

Yep since I posted that 'screwing his mom' has permanently replaced that line in my head

think of this turn of phrase so often when encountering huge swathes of online discourse (eg nearly everything to do with the World Cup)

I only just encountered this (or any) showershitting tale and while it is funny i will never be able to unknow it. I could voluntarily take another tbi i guess but i dont wanna die over this horror. Wanna live but forget.

I'm a big fan of price of Wales check suits but wearing it with a check shirt is a definitely a on no. Have a fabulous Vivienne Westwood suite in pale bluey grey price of Wales, bought on hood last year, it is by far an away the bets cut suit I've ever owned. I think it works well with a lighter floral pattern shift, no tie but I hardly ever wear one. In fact I have a hard time conceiving of making a tie work with it. Possibly a Pucci print with a white shirt but that might be a bit much

I like the rag and bone suit. It's a bit country squire/brown in town but not so much it's a tattersall check shirt and flat cap away from requiring accessorising with a flat cap, land rover and shooting stick. Not full on tweeds but not full on sharp either.

Whenever I think about suits I imagine Ed (in my imagined Ed) voice saying "It's a bit country squire/brown in town but not so much"

Is this website even used anymore?

Biya Staunton wrote this on thread Jug Bands S/D on board I Love Music on 22/03/2016

Any more information on jugs or jug bands?
Anyone? please?

Biya Staunton wrote this on thread The Band. on board I Love Music on 22/03/2016

Does anyone have any information on jug(instrument) or jug bands?
If you do, Then that's going to save me heaps

As all teenagers, seems Biya was drawn to the internet for information about Jugs

Honestly captivated at this single posters quest for hidden jug knowledge

^^^
indelible post

thanks a lot

blame imago for re-posting on here 5 years ago, and then it haunting my thoughts ever since

I quite often fetishise the idea of a culturally rich dotage, listehning to, watching, and reading all the albums, films, and books I've hoarded over my life, and then I remember this...

In recent years the collector had no interest in his collection. Ailing health, bereavement, and slowly declining hearing had sapped his once immense passion for music and left him with little but crosswords and memories of springer spaniels, tabby cats, and a wife who had all passed on. For a long time, he didn’t even have a record player on which to listen to his collection, and it had sat, unmovable and unplayable, in his living room like a giant hibernating creature gathering dust.

...and I don't want that.

and if covid isolation didn't teach us all to that, hopefully decades early enough to do what we will with the info.....

RIP STRONGO YOU WERE THE BEST OF US AND NEVER LESS THEN US STAY RESOLUTE IN HEAVEN ALWAYS!

idk where to put this but it's significant enough that i need to tell you guys about it. thanks for listening.

the recent revive on ilm of the infamously titled thread that refers to bowie's 1978 album as "THE LODGER" combined with my increased viewing of basketball for the nba playoffs reminded me: somewhere along the line, one of the really pleasant voices in my head started to refer to everything in basketball with "THE" in front of it, i.e. "jarrett allen gets the opening tip and does the slam dunk!!", "curry makes the three pointer!", "draymond with the flagrant!", and so on.

this is something that's gone on in my psyche since early childhood; mid 1980s.

ever since the first time i saw that bowie post on ilm, probably a decade or so ago, i've had to question everything. that adding the unnecessary "the" in front of stuff... is that like a thing? like an old school meme or something? i've never really encountered it anywhere else.

(and for clarity: that part of my brain who does that only does it when talking basketball. he knows it's grammatically incorrect and sounds ridiculous, but that's part of the fun of the game, right friend? kind of exactly like how it became a thread-specific meme here on ilx.)

anyway, as much as that weird semi-coincidence makes me giggle, it's also kind of side-eye energy. keep up the good work, everyone.👍🏻

Many years ago, I read the novel Puckoon by Spike Milligan, where, unless I misremember thoroughly, the author often refers to the protagonist Dan Milligan as "the Milligan", and possibly to other characters in a similar way. This gave me a very strange feeling of reading a vaguely unfamiliar vein of an utterly familiar language, so your post resonates with me.

I've wondered, but never bothered to look up, whether this has been transferred from Celtic syntax or something. Or it may be simply be that the Irish are the terrible men for the definite article.

Yeah definitely the case, it’s because there’s no indefinite article in Irish and that transfers to Hiberno English syntax along with other features of the language
