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

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...

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*

the bridge on "here comes the sun" is insanely cool, tarfumes otm. my favorite part of the song is the beginning of the final verse.. the addition of the piercing yet soothing synth lead with "the ice is slowly melting" just kills me every time. i want to believe him!!

They're like the Bob Dylan people. Every year I get really angry when people start going on about how Murakami should win.

But it's advocacy which makes no difference since I doubt that the Nobel committee takes their instructions from unibet. And he won't ever win since he's a rubbish "writer". Hence: morons.
