In Honor Of ILX Being Ten, How About Some Quotable Posts Of Yore.

i didn't think Hongros had genitals

ah, I got that one: That was the more "reasonable" version of a Dead Kennedy's tune, amirite?

By the way..

I had to look up that one by "myself" upthread, posted as "Shaggy". I was sure it was a fake.

It wasn't.

Heck, I'm funny sometimes, it seems.

O_o

i love the image i have of LJ posting that, working madly away at his keyboard like bach at the organ, hair askew and eyes ablaze

the whole post was something of an opus

Acts that waited 10 years or more to release their best album

mercy.

Bugman - Blur KICK SOME ASS. They never did this so well before, or since. The last two minutes are worth the album price alone, as Coxon and his guitar do some quite illegally delicious things.

tbh, haberdager, that review is enough to make me want to at least check out the album and I don't really care for what Blur I've heard.

explodes (orgasms)

kkvgz skip the opening track whatever you do, on your first listen at least. it's pretty much the most out-of-character opening track ever.

But there's no messing with that one!

fine, whatever, haberdager otm

From its awesome chorus to its tastefully-applied gospel choir!

You spent 6 months thinking it was some really ace American band!

from its 90's alt-rock crib to its spiritualized rip-off

still a catchy song mind, just fucking light-years away from the rest of the album's infinitely superior aesthetic - I start with Bugman every time now

nuff Blur, more legendary posts plz

yeah let's not turn this into "i have been unintentionally or intentionally hilarious across ilx, allow me to show you"

Could somebody explain to me why they find "Garageland" any good at all? Thanx.

Sex Pistols were from UK and did not wear leather. Thefore they too were not punk. Also, they knew too few chords.
― Sterling Clover, Monday, 5 November 2001

What's this business about wearing leather? The Clash, the Pistols, the Ramones, the Damned, they *ALL* wore leather. Since when was bovine hide a stipulation of Punk? (or is this some revisionist Straight-edge thing?)

god this is so classic

Once I was in a pizza place in Connecticut. There was this really hot waitress working the pies like no tomorrow. Something about the way she said sausage that made me horny. "Sauseeg". Man did my sauseeg get hard when she talked. We flirted through must of our interactions. At the end of the night I asked her for her number and waht time she got off work. She said she was hanging out late tonight to close up. It was her parents shop. She asked if I wanted to stay and help. I did. We stayed late and we were so attracted to each other that we started going at it right there on the counter. We pushed the Jimmy Fund Donation can aside and layed out some flour on the counter top. We stripped butt naked and I told her to get the meatballs and sauseeg. She proceeded to shove two meatballs inside my rectum. It was hot. I rubbed her all over with capicola and mortadell. I made her my little italian sub and ate the shit out of her.

doubt you get that kinda service at Subway, Whiney

Last time we went into Subway, the girl wouldn't let us sit down at the tables as she'd only just cleaned up, there was no-one else in the shop, and there was only 1 hour until closing.

Not that we wanted flour on owt...

Context:

Private graduation party with buffet is going on by our bar. Someone mistakes Drunk Woman for extended family and invites her to chow down. As she takes a bite of her sammy, someone else tells her that this is a private party and that the food is for "family ONLY." She sheepishly puts her food back on the buffet and storms over to my desk in rage.

As I deal with the massive line in front of me (it's fucking Memorial weekend and they schedule me ALONE?) she's slur-ranting to her friends that it's SO FUCKING RIDICULOUS that no one had the FUCKING COURTESY to tell her that there was a private party going on. It was SO FUCKING EMBARASSING to have to put that food back, she wants to talk to a fucking Manager on Duty NOW.

I step to the side of my line and advise her that I'll be with her in just a moment, I just need to attend to these people in line.

"WELL HURRY THE FUCK UP CAUSE I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS HUMILIATION."

She continues her noisy protests as she makes her way through the line, leering at the people at the party and demanding to know what the FUCK they're looking at, "TURN AROUND YOU BITCH IN THE WHITE! TURN AROUND!" People are already muttering that somebody needs to call the police.

Finally gets to the front and (after a recap of everything she's already said) berates me some more. I explain to her that there was a large sign announcing that the buffet was for the Gonzalez Graduation Party, and that we presumed the signage would be enough to make the private status of the food clear. Now she wants to know "Why your bartender, that fucking FAGGOT bartender of yours, didn't tell me there was a private party going on? That FAG etc etc"

Without raising my voice I tell her "M'am, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"WHAAAAT?!"

I radio maintanence to bring down her bags (which I accurately guess are still unpacked because I just checked her in half an hour ago) and start serving the people behind her. She wants to know why she's being asked to leave etc etc, answer being

"M'am, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. My bartender, myself, and my general manager will not tolerate your hate speech on our property. We have not and will not charge you a cent and you're free to take your business elsewhere. I'd rather not call the police, but if you insist on continuing to disturb our guests I will. Please leave."

I get the sense my gay General Manager will not mind losing her dollars.

yeah that's choice

Once I woke up after a really long drinking binge and the girlfriend was screaming at me as I had apparently taken a shit in the bathtub. I just denied it and got drunk again, and later on vomited into the same bathtub, and the morning after that I had to go to work and decided to run a bath, and I'd forgotten about the vomit and didn't notice until it was all floating on the surface

So when we were having a fight about *that*, I said "Well at least I'm not as bad as your friend, whose boyfriend, legend has it, passed out in the bath with the water running, and when your friend noticed water dripping out the ceiling went to check on him and not only found the bathroom flooded but crap floating everywhere as he'd also shit himself and then she had to clean up the whole thing! Heh", and she said "Fuck you"

that dave q post was classic. all in the comic timing. especially the crucial choice of making "so i hit her" a separate post, which amplified the humor factor.

does dave q still write and/or post here?

sadly no xpost

Some friends of mine are in an underground indie rock band and have completed their first EP. It sounds very professional even if it was mixed on ProTools and recorded in a home studio.

Anywho, they came to me because they know I read a lot of mp3 blogs like ILM and Stereogum. I suggested that they send out music samples to all the major tastemakers, which they did -- but no response as of yet.

Then I found another intriguing option, for $25 they can be the band of the week on Scenestars, a fave mp3 blog of mine:
http://scenestars.net/bandspot/index.php

What do you think, is the exposure worth $25? I mean, they could just post their music on the YSI thread here for free.. Does anyone know how much traffic Scenestars gets or how many downloads they can expect in a week?

I think they should do it as Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, and CYHSY are all prominently featured and they are looking to do a similar grassroots viral DIY thing to get label attention.

These Scenestar folks have a pretty high profile so some industry people must listen to what their flogging. Do you think journos will take us less seriously if it's a paid promotion? I have mixed feelings, free would be ideal, but they are not in a position to hire a PR person.

thx in advance,
W

Conan's already slipped to #2 in Late Night. He drew a 7.1 on his debut and a 2.9 last night (to Dave's 3.4). What a disaster for NBC.

― Cunga, Thursday, June 11, 2009 1:36 AM (1 year ago)

yes, good one

why is this quotable? Was this the beginning of the "what a disaster" meme?

surprisingly it does seem to be the beginning of it

i think this is the source of this ilxmeme?

This is apparantly the "Rocky Horror of furry fandom." I was of the right age to see this on VHS, but I guess I never did...

i don't even remember what the thread was about!!!

thread needed more form

OK, I'll be honest. Basically I was watching out for her and would be looking out for her at certain times of the day. That's all. Actually, it was worse than that - there had been times when I'd deliberately try and bump into A and / or B at lunchtimes during the summer, but that wasn't picked up on at the time. Basically, I was stalking her in a little way, but not in any scary kind of way. Just trying to see her, that's all. I'm trying hard to justify myself without sounding like a nutcase here.

It's just that A noticed this behaviour and mentioned it to others there, who'd also noticed it, and then I presume it got passed upwards. I was told by the management that me watching her - and the other workers - was making them feel uncomfortable walking past my house, and that behaviour was stopped immediately.

Er, no, no boob grab. 8-)
