loves to layer up does our momus

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 20:45 (seven years ago)

Is there something actually wrong with his eye or is the patch just an affectation?

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 20:54 (seven years ago)

something actually wrong

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 20:54 (seven years ago)

he lost an eye from an infection from an improperly stored contact lens iirc

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 20:54 (seven years ago)

all covered in depth on momuspedia

mh, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 20:56 (seven years ago)

I suppose it can be both, now that I think about it.

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:16 (seven years ago)

Xpost he also covered it on here too!

Mark G, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:19 (seven years ago)

Actually, he uncovered it on here too, thinking about it..

(ie, added a photo)

Mark G, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:20 (seven years ago)

he did iirc

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:38 (seven years ago)

i definitely have thought about what i would do if i lost an eye: glass-eye like peter falk or eye-patch like momus?

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:39 (seven years ago)

momus is a talented guy.

akm, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:48 (seven years ago)

Did not need reminding of his uncovering tbrh

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 23:00 (seven years ago)

he does have some vision in it iirc and had some surgery to make it a little better

mh, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 04:17 (seven years ago)

Maybe Trayce was talking about some other uncovering.

pplains, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 13:30 (seven years ago)

real ilx history question: list the ilxors who started out on the sinister board, migrated here, and stuck around

mh, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 13:47 (seven years ago)

Mandee was one of them, I think? Can't remember any others anymore.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 13:51 (seven years ago)

n1ck dast00r?

⅋ (crüt), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 13:56 (seven years ago)

The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 13:57 (seven years ago)

Some of Starry / Tim / Carsmile Steve / Madchen / RJG ?

Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 14:07 (seven years ago)

Not all of those stuck around.

The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 15:38 (seven years ago)

neither did kat stevens, ricky t, alixxx, the barnet ape, etc etc

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 15:54 (seven years ago)

I still post very occasionally.

Stevie T, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 15:55 (seven years ago)

!!

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 15:56 (seven years ago)

Not all of those stuck around.
I dunno how you define stuck around, but IIRC all the people Andrew listed posted here for years.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 16:05 (seven years ago)

Alixxx was probably from sinister too - did Kat ever post here?

Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 16:09 (seven years ago)

Kat was not Sinister. Grandpoint Genie was though!

Stevie T, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 16:14 (seven years ago)

pinefox still posts on ILB

change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 16:34 (seven years ago)

mark s, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 18:28 (seven years ago)

I dunno how you define stuck around, but IIRC all the people Andrew listed posted here for years.

I thought you meant still posting.

The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 19:14 (seven years ago)

he means stuck around in the sense of ended up not sticking around

mark s, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 19:26 (seven years ago)

What is the cut off point for ILX history? What defined ILX this decade historically?

nashwan, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:03 (seven years ago)

hmm beyond generally "mellowing out" it's hard to separate out from general changes in internet and discursive culture in the same period imo.

|Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:07 (seven years ago)

What is the cut off point for ILX history? the Luna incident

What defined ILX this decade historically? polls

Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:09 (seven years ago)

the eternal now, signified by a lack of tumult (or relatively predictable tumult) in the lives of long-term posters

symptoms include drop-off in number of posters or frequency of posting as people end up more engaged in jobs/family/obligations, less interest in bombastic modes of argument, and the recycling of previous discourse around genre conventions

mh, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:12 (seven years ago)

not being good or funny

~mine own~ bitcoin (darraghmac), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:12 (seven years ago)

What defined ILX this decade historically? trump, brexit, the golden state warriors, dmac complaining

mookieproof, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:14 (seven years ago)

yeah p much

but also some really great new/young posters who don't have as much of a "brand" b/c of not being involved in so much tumult.

radio button polls started in the late 00s no? like circa 06, 07 i wanna say. think ilm had pretty much polled every major label album ever released before 2010.

|Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:15 (seven years ago)

yeah I think you're right about the polls being earlier

Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:18 (seven years ago)

there used to be FAPS like every single weekend I remember.

Yerac, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:18 (seven years ago)

the elite dreams of ilx have basically been fully realized, nothing more to attain

shoulda zagged (esby), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:20 (seven years ago)
