Why do people leave ILX for good?

wouldn't recommend ilx to anyone tbf

New board description?

"Aw, you'd love ILX. Right now on the CCR thread, they're arguing about whether Capt. Beefheart believed in grooves or not."

That thread taught me everything I know about chooglin

Lol, I think stuff like that is perfect and hilarious. A mix of conversational shorthand and codes, parsing personalities, taking the piss and talking through things. I love ilxor. A mix of disparate voices and smart people who manifest both attributes in very different ways but almost always (to me) in a familiar way, which feels more personal (at this point) and less like the random bomb throwing of the broader internet. Like a bunch of older/younger cousins or something who only see one another at weddings and funerals every few years and share some history but don't necessarily know one another as well as immediate family.

for real that example about Beefheart is exactly the kind of recommendation of ilx you'd give to anyone who'd care

Sometimes when I'm in the park and I pass a big pile of people in matching t-shirts gathered for a huge family reunion I think how funny it would be if all the t-shirts said "ilxor" and everyone was just sorting themselves out in real life. With the vast majority of posters still at home, posting about how stupid it sounds to have a big family reunion grill-out, or how awkward family reunions can be, or if there really is such a thing as familiy or reunions, or what bands should reunite or how bands are like family, and how the breakup of CCR was like a big ugly divorce, and how Clifford and Cook, when asked why CCR should get back together, immediately answer, in unison, "chooglin'," and when later asked if he'd join the reunion Fogerty says "no" and, asked "why not?" declares "too much chooglin'" or "chooglin' is not what it used to be" or "it was a different time, and chooglin' was different then" or "I've been chooglin' by myself for so long I don't feel I need the other guys to choogle." Or something like that.

THEM: "Ah, look. Your cousin even put on the Parker crest on the shirt even though we're all now either Middletons or Cottinghams!"

US: "God damn, I hate the fucking Eagles. Let's hear another one, Scott."

Unfortunately it is now full of assholes and criminals and should be deleted.

ILM - giving criminals a bad name since 2007.

I don't anything about chooglin but it sounds fun.

know

I confuse chooglin' and grabblin'

only one involves catfish iirc

i refuse to believe you cannot choogle a catfish

you can choogle anything, if you set your mind to it.

only in 27 of the more open-minded of these united states

Many stations across the country declined to air the controversial 1974 episode of All in the Family which featured the first televised instance of chooglin'.

jeez, it's all you see on the major networks anymore

i saw an Acura ILX on the road last night, fwiw

a little voice inside your head said
don't look back
you can never look back

it did, and I got off at the Buchanan exit, and I think the ILX continued east on I-80 towards Sacramento

lock thread tbh

it doesn't really have anything to do w/ toni morrison specifically but more the general notion that, say, a black woman who made art mostly about and for other black women isn't really being talked about on this board primarily because we have no black women who actively post on this board

There is this, but there's also the effect (which I don't know if it's better or worse) where we'll talk about something that has an aspect (possibly a total aspect) relevant to an experience outside of our own, and, ignoring that aspect entirely, conclude that we've nailed it.

bump, just in case we've had any recent leavers who may want to share their stories.

ah but they left

I left

but you were ijrc fake, dan

yes i know they have left but they all of em still read, we know this

You not retiring yet are you Darragh?

He's never been retiring.

every 2nd post of his seems like fuzzy, oblique bitching about lefties these days, at least before it used every 4th post!

lads please, please.

ye have yr thread, dont ye?

too many threads for the remainers

every time a poll with a lot of options is bumped now I can only think "specific user such as imago"

Which specific ILX user has the best discography?

Best Buy

Come for the pie. Stay for the clusterfucks. Leave when you've had your fill.

Bloomberg's got a babby

LOL, I just saw upthread that back in August 2019 a proposal was made to pay women and minorities a certain rate to participate in this forum. So when do I start looking for any back pay? Should someone alert fellow "twofer" Geeta to this proposal?

i forget the thread for this but:

* Why do people leave ILX for good?
* people dancing to Phish

Which specific ILX user has the best discography?

We all know the answer to this, right? It's no contest! Or am I forgetting someone?

there are in fact several contenders

What I really want to know is which specific ILX lurker has the best discography.

there’s your truth, and then there’s my softer, pinker one

this isn't something we should discuss imo

lurkers otoh

this isn't something we should discuss imo

Indeed. My initial question was facetious and likely a parody of some other post/thread I've already forgotten about.

Imago otm. Let's just say it's a tie and move on

mariah carey is poster "bee ok" iirc

Fred B is Lars Ulrich.

i'm kali malone

*drones on and on about something*

Not to start shit again, but your posts are wayyyyyyyyy better than Kali Malone's music.
