Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

ohh I forgot about Liz Harris but yes, that would be p. much perfect

If a poster uses this thread to ~get personal~ about another poster’s citation of disgusting savagery, eg. calling another poster an asshole, particularly when the citation is calling out an annoying trend and not an individual, that poster ought to craft a single response I can’t clown for any reason. At any rate, I don’t think half a dozen angry-boy tantrum posts directed at me should go unremarked or uncorrected, because anyone would want a right of reply in that situation.

Here endeth the lesson.

My yoga teacher loves herself a mopey acoustic cover of famous pop songs. There was one time when the music she played in class was 100% this, it was hell. Luckily she's dialed it back somewhat. But seriously why are there sad acoustic versions of songs like Billie Jean, Let's Dance, or One Way Or Another?

i believe it was evelyn beatrice hall who said "i disapprove of your method of asterisking and correcting typos itt but i will defend to the death your right to square up against petulant ilx posts"

i was freaking maria out the other day by singing Foreigner songs in that slow creepycrawly sad quavery whisper way that a lot of those cover songs employ. "juuuuuuukebooooooox heeeero...."

this commercial pops up all the time when we are watching hulu and we all scream when it comes on. blahhhh.

yah jon calm the f down also its laurel

Eh, I'm totally calm, just kicking myself for engaging with someone that has such a condescending attitude. Yeah, clearly I misread the spirit of this thread and the original post was well within bounds. In that spirit, I still reserve the right to think less of someone for doubling down on the condescending tone and sweeping generalizations.

all songs should be sad acoustic covers

"Disgusting Savages" thread delivers!

hahaha

suzy should just carry on and live laugh love more

The people who gather contact info for not for profits on the sidewalk who actively try and insert themselves in your path

If by ‘engaging’ you mean fitting me up as a strawman for the eleventy-billionth time despite the fact that it never, ever ends well for you when you single me out in this way, sure. Don’t stop believing. Although I do find it a bit weird that you only come for female posters with accusations of condescension, and that whenever this happens it speaks to a kind of self-hater’s narcissism in that you’re trying to centre yourself as some kind of victim of a criticism that genuinely wasn’t about you.

Do we have a Lovely Personages thread?

i'm not too interested in the laurel/yanni phenomenon, but ppl loudly tut-tutting about how they're above it and everyone else is dumb are about as cool and likable as the "oooh sports ball" crowd.

my what awful ppl itt all day

yanni's cool but john tesh did a whole album of music inspired by sports

John Tesh Jock Jams was not really that good tho

Maybe this should go in "Say Something Nice About" thread but Scott's recent posts here are cool like Robert Duvall's surf talk during that napalm raid.

Hardy or Tesh

Re the Yanny/Laurel thing, someone at work was emailing it round to everyone, so I just said that all I can hear was a voice whispering KILL YOUR CO-WORKERS

UR a disgusting savage

i love suzy please never stop

The new Five Finger Death Punch album came out today. All I'm saying is, if the singer for your favorite band doesn't shout "GET SOME!" before the guitar solo, you need a new favorite band.

b-b-but my favourite band is tindersticks

even more so then

considers starting a thread about bands that would be improved by yelling "GET SOME" before the guitar solo, ponders the noble history of ILM comedy list threads, shudders

C’mon Steve, get it

Cyclist today rolling down the street and I’m walking and he keeps veering into me and I said “dude”. He was wearing a hat that said “dime”; must’ve smoked a dime to be such a dipshit

I swear there's a certain way of bicycling that certain narcissists have--kind of a wobbly, all-over-the-place thing where they always look like they're about to fall over or crash into something. Gets people to look at them, I suppose

"certain" blah

the streets around my place are full of cyclists on pavements. this week some woman sat behind me dinging her head off. sealed road right next to us, no cars anywhere, i was carrying awkward bulky things, but she had to sit behind me and ding. and then she greased me off after she got past, like she hadn’t just been aggressively breaking the fucking law.

obviously not the appropriate response to your particular incident, but I was surprised when i learned that there are municipalities in which it is legal to cycle on sidewalks at walking speed.

If they were at walking speed they wouldn't be dinging to get past...

Where I live there are often cycle paths on pavements, often badly marked, sometimes doubling up with a cycle path on the road next to the path. I basically have no idea what the rules are supposed to be here.

One cycle path on a road literally leads onto the middle of a busy roundabout, then off it again between two lanes of traffic for 100m, no fucking way I'm using that one again

the cycle paths are practically third world around here, e.g. paths frequently disappear into parked cars and reappear unannounced on the other side of the road. because helmets are compulsory by law here (!!!), relatively few people ride bikes, so demand is low, so councils don’t fix the bike lanes.

the big junction that takes me to the local bike share station is so dangerous i have no choice but to ride along a pavement for about 200m, but because i’m not a disgusting savage i slow right down and/or get off when people are there.

Bearded persons who allow the moustache to overgrow the mouth, and are thereby apparently content to dunk their facial hair into everything they eat and drink.

Sucking whisky from my moustache is one of my few remaining pleasures. Not denying I'm a disgusting savage, though.

i love big moustaches and kind of want one but the food thing is what stops me

you like big 'stache and you cannot lie

I grew a moustache a few years ago, but felt a little too Foxworthy.

omg i can see how it might

mine tends to be sadly flanders-y if i don't trim a lot, but i been staying with it over all protests (some quite loud), since i object to the current profiles of other facial hair possibilities even more
