This is the thread where we ask people to dig up things on ILX we can't find

can anyone point me to the thread where Nakhchivan was talking about how military clothing bleeds over into the fashion world?

I'm not turning anything up, but this has been a great opportunity to review old Nakh and Nilmar posts.

Is there a thread to identify poor resolution pictures? Kind of like a song ID but with a terrible quality graphic?

trends in violence culture

thank you!

Nice, Matt! That's a great thread. Like a dork, I was hunting around for some thread about the historical origins of peacoats and khakis and stuff.

I really want zing to be able search all threads. :-( Maybe disabled cause I'd post like back in the day if it was possible. Lol

I'm looking for the thread about being dumped/all communication severed as a friend, rather than as a partner.

thanks in advance.

cutting people completely out of your life

Thanks, AR.B!

Is there a an ILX thread about the TV show M*A*S*H? Search not yielding any direct results.

this one maybe?

T/S: Funny, kooky laugh-track episodes of MASH vs. Alda-produced non-laughtrack "horror of war" episodes of MASH?

someone (quincie? Mordy?) posted an article about Jewish conversational habits which included the hilarious term "cooperative overspeaking" iirc. I thought this was on one of the Hey Jews! threads but I can't find it. lil help?

n/m I found it

cooperative overlapping!

welp, here i am again

what's that thread about ways that modern life is worse, despite technological advances? i believe i am the first person to come up with the idea that the way we typically listen to music and watch tv and movies is bad

this one?

Technological/practical "backward steps" we all just accept now

yes! thank you. :)

Where's the thread asking us to guess an artist's discography using visually similar images of the album covers on Google Image Search?

That was a fun thread! No idea what it was called.

Recognize Discographies from Approximate Colour Schemes! (an ILM cover game)

I just went and tried to use GIS visually similar images to see if this could be replicated, but unfortunately they just gave me back 100 pictures of the same album cover.

technological/practical "backward steps" strike again

Gotta admit though, that the blurred Photobucket images make it more of a challenge.

Thanks so much, peace, man!!!

Do we have a dictionary of ILX memes?

Think I asked for an ILX glossary a couple of years ago and was completely ignored.

I guess ILXors are protective of their shibboleths.

That's what I thought at the time, now I think it's more about a lack of ownership over this stuff and an ambivalence about giving an easy way in to what are perceived as low-quality posters. Also maybe people don't realise quite how much there is, I even forget that "otm" isn't really commonly used outside here.

an ambivalence about giving an easy way in to what are perceived as low-quality posters

Lack of ownership def, but I don't believe the above to be the case. It's more a question of: where to start? I believe there's a thread accompanying santorum.jpg, which covers some ground, but who has the time/energy/desire to compile all of ilx's memes?

Do we have a dictionary of ILX memes?

A hundred and one ILX crazes

Unofficial History of ILX (ILM specifically i guess)

I remember a poll at some point. Trying to find it.

ILX Memes that have been around the block a couple times but still got juice like a pomegranate

nevermind, I was definitely thinking of this "best threads" poll

BEST THREAD ON ILX: Part TWO - The Poll

"bear say hi to me" was robbed

^ predates "bear" by about 5 years. yes, that's a good thread.

isn't there a thread about movies with scenes in record stores?

Not exactly searchable

The record store in Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange”

looking for the website with the "bad teleconference call" simulator, with all the phrases passing through on a loop with droning music in the background. 90% sure this was a Karl Malone joint, maybe 2-3 years ago?

You are referring to Conference Call Dot Biz

Which yes is the work of our very own mailman

boom, thank you!

haha I just sent that link to an old friend yesterday

Somehow it has now been 6 years! Weird.

Traffic seems to be mildly surging for it again in the coronavirus era

Hi this is wtev, sorry I'm late...

inspired by Hendrix thread title... been wondering for a while, is there a thread featuring examples of guitarists/vocalists throwing to the guitar solo with a corny line? are there enough examples for this to be threadworthy? a fairly boutique enquiry, I will freely allow.

(IMO all-time best example being 'alright doll-face, come on and bore me')

here's a bunch to pick from:
Best spoken intros to guitar solos....
Introducing a musical solo
Best thing a bandleader/singer says to his band to encourage them to rock the fuck out in the middle of a song
genuinely great shouts for the guitarist by the vocalist

Haha brilliant, thanks!

what's the thread for people who excel in two different areas/careers? (e.g., Hedy Lamarr)
