which old thread is the one where Ally posted pics of kittens dressed up and doing various things like in the above photo? Harvey Nicks rip it off 4 years later!

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 12:07 (nineteen years ago)

Surely pics of kittens dressed up and doing various things has been a staple of feliniphile merchandise since Roman times?

oh it's YOU

Can any of you guys even use the search feature? It hasn't worked AT ALL for me since, like, 2005.

If it's something that's come up recently I hazard a guess how long ago it was and use the "new answers from n days ago" thing at the bottom, otherwise I use "site:http://ilx.wh3rd.net" in google searches. Not great but it works.

any of those "one more time" lyrics images.... Dan Perry?

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Thursday, 7 September 2006 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

Can someone dig this up, please?

There was a thread on Spaghetti Westerns, I think it started with DV noting that his favourite is "Naked Django", "not that I've actually seen it of course."

Also, the second "Showcase" thread on ILC!

Spaghetti Westerns: Search/Destroy

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 4 January 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

(which seems to be unindexed by Google, even under the new regime. I don't know how many threads that applies to)

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 4 January 2007 12:39 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure there was an actual second Showcase Presents thread, I think it was another thread that got completely derailed.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 4 January 2007 13:13 (nineteen years ago)

There was! It was called, like, "Showcase Reprezent! Pt.2" or something.

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Thursday, 4 January 2007 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

This is as close as I can find.

Bah, I meant this:

Where did the "Link to Mad Shit on Youtube Here" thread go? It was full of GOLD and now it's gone!

I used to be able to find the O.C. thread by Googling "peter gallagher's eyebrows" + "amateurist," but that doesn't work anymore and Direct ILX Search doesn't like short words like "the" and, uh, "O.C." Anyone?

― jaymc, Monday, 7 May 2007 23:21 (nineteen years ago)

Everyone looking for KITTY thredds. Makes sense.

― Abbott, Monday, 7 May 2007 23:23 (nineteen years ago)

Re: The O.C.

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=40&threadid=19696

The search does actually look for display names too. This isn't documented, though, so I just looked for amateurist and then scrolled about.

It will work better in the next release ("O.C." should work).

The original of "Fuck Washing a Hat"

The first time of seeing it for me was on an Excelsior thread, but I can't find it there either.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 09:27 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, I had to use the "can someone help me find the thread for when you can't find threads" because I couldn't find it - "can't find" as a direct search didn't pick it up.

Anyway, I cannot find the current Doctor Who thread. "Dr Who", "doctor who", judoon, sontaran, tennant, martha don't pick it up, even macra which I know is in the title.

OTOH I only want to talk about the DVDs announced today so even the "doctor who has lost its way..." thread would do. Search doesn't find that either.

― aldo, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

Never mind, just found it by actually searching in g00gl3 itself. Search seems to be doing something odd, in that case.

― aldo, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

I think Le Coq said "Fuck Washing a Hat" first?

― Mark C, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

How about the thread(s) with recommendations for where to stay in NYC?

― eater, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=40&threadid=5322

Aldo, it would've got "warriors", which is in the title. Dr Who is particularly tricky, as Dr has only two letters and is automatically excluded from the search, and "who" is a 'stopword', i.e. part of a list of words that MySQL automatically excludes from the search. Don't see 'macra' in the title, though.

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

the thread with all the pictures of dolphin people

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

Thank you.

― eater, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

Any time.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude, can you post more of a clue as to the thread's title, or who started it?

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

Can someone post that "choose your own adventure book: dating a co-worker" image again please? Google didn't help when I was looking the other day

― DJ Mencap, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:47 (nineteen years ago)

You're right Keith, macra isn't in the title, sorry. It is in the thread several times though... so although direct search didn't pick it up, the usual search on either wh3rd or p3r should pick it up.

― aldo, Friday, 18 May 2007 18:09 (nineteen years ago)

Saw one of those captioned cat pics that says "we're not funny anymore". find please.

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 18 May 2007 18:15 (nineteen years ago)

fuck washing a hat was from another board where dude was giving advice on cleaning a baseball cap in a dishwasher and another guy said 'fuck washing a hat'

ILM thread that talked about accessible tracks for "difficult artists," wherein I said, "Hey, 'Paperhouse' is cool!" and revealed that I didn't listen to Can.

― Leee, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

Found it: What one track of a notoriously difficult artist would you offer to someone who's curious about said artist?

And I started it.

― Leee, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:25 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks JW

― DJ Mencap, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:33 (nineteen years ago)

I'm pretty sure this is the thread with the dolphin-people, but I'm not willing to click on it again to find out - What kind of alien species are on the new super-earth? NOT SANITY SAFE EITHER.

― The Yellow Kid, Saturday, 19 May 2007 05:45 (nineteen years ago)

did anyone save the crying in the middle of the club images?
