EXCELSIOR is the second solo album by British musician LOLZ Coombes.

I see it more as a Roosevelt joke rather than a disablist one. Different rules apply to poking fun at people from the great American elite families imo. Although I'm not going set up a fortress on this one.

i'm trying to imagine what sex position would result in a wheelchair banging against a wall. i mean maybe franklin delano roosevelt was a masochist but i would put my money on sadist. in any case it's a really generic sex joke trying to adapt itself to a basic fact about fdr and being as awkward as reverse cowboy would be from a wheelchair.

this is true

xp

even FDR would be ROFL at that one

Didnt

I mean technically

He always rof

can someone just post one that will unite ilx instead of dividing it

i thought the point of excelsior was to bring us all together in harmony under dope zings

do not weaponize excelsior

this is clearly part of the noble heritage and unfunny tradition of the Excelsior thread

I mean technically

sir

Maybe all of you should just sit this one out.

i cracked an FDR joke on a date with a girl who then informed me of her dad's rare polio-related disability, get on my level

She was probably just looking for a kind shoulder to lean on.

Did you put a finger in your collar and pull it while gulping audibly?

i made a joke about the IRA to someone who later informed me had an aunt die in the Omagh bombing. was tempted to give the rejoinder: "well, technically, i was talking about the Provisionals and that was 'The Real IRA'" but thought better of it

Lj level clarification imo

Also in school a friend and I were joking about a Scottish actor who had committed suicide after being accused of paedophilia and a girl standing with us revealed that she was his niece. That was awkward.

i made a joke on a blind date once about stabbing a hobo to impress her. she then informed me she was a hobo that had recently been stabbed.

feel like in ilx 2016 the wheels are starting to turn that will cause a shakedown of the current establishment

I made a joke about lawyers to someone who later informed me their father is in hell.

I made a joke once and it was on ilx

at work i made a joke about a chicken crossing the road and it turns out everybody in my office is related to the same chicken that got killed in a hit and run accident

when i'm joking no one gets it

when i'm serious everyone laughs

well nobody pays attention to me

ive been posting on ilx for over a decade and have been excelsiored once

I once watched a standup dvd with some schoolfriends of mine, and the standupper is raging about his shitty old german teacher called Leila 'The Whore' Bacher, and my friend says '... that's my aunt...'

heartening to see that the themes of comedy are so universal

My partner has MS and has serious mobility issues at times, sometimes people think she is drunk or on drugs by the way she walks and she is a tea-total lifer. You can never underestimate how much humour can help people navigate through bad times like this. I regularly go to lots of events where the majority of people are either on the autism spectrum or physically disabled. I couldn't face these people if I felt like a hypocritical arsehole who lolled at disablism on message boards. But I really don't feel like Alfred's post is in that category at all.

I don't mean this as pass/agg rebuke to LJ, because I have gone through periods where I might have reacted the same.

anyways I'll stfu now

that's fair enough

sorry everyone, i was more annoyed by the childish non-humour of it than any problematic thorn but excelsior is probably best left unexamined in any sense. i can't help myself when you're all 'lol banging! wheelchair! haw' tho

I would've gone with a "Warm Springs" pun myself.

yalta relax about this

‽

yalta conference

nomar is nobly steering this thread back to hilarity :p

the only thing we have to excelsior...

having kids = every goddamn dime is accounted for ime

If we're gonna tear the excelsior walls in around us I say let's do it with some fuckin swagger

that's p good tbfttl

^^^as much of an olive branch as i can muster in this heat

No ob required to me mayne you've survived a lot worse outbursts while maintaining favour

And calzino hasn't verbally knifed u, so I think you're safe for now, for a wonder

embolden me at our collective peril

this excelsior thread has frederik's oasis movie pitch in it so not ever a dead loss no matter what else is posted

Fred's ok apart from us politics but hardly alone in being ruined utterly by all contact with same

Trump is like Clooney in Burn After Reading, with a top secret basement project that turns out to be an insane dildo bike. "How will I fight terrorism? Oh, just you wait, I have a plan. I have a plan so good you won't believe!" And it turns out to be a dildo bike.

no problem -

in a nutshell, my new line of pills will make your stick shift to new gears that require more flexible underwear to contain your baloney pony. order now and get a free pair of underwear from the gently used pile at no extra cost! now if you wouldn't mind pressing the lobby button for me, my mayo shooting hotdog gun has created a sticky situation for my hands. i'd shake your hand but my purple-headed yogurt flinging schlong dongadoodlin' steamin' semen *door closes*
