Nick and Andrew, you're disqualified from answering this as you post to ILM.

― mei (mei), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmmm. There might be a little flaw in my plan...

― mei (mei), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I will ask a random person at work. Hang on.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I asked the blokes at work, and they said "Jonathan King!"

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Fame fame, fatal fame.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Fucking great answer, random people at kate's work.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Of course, now they want to know what I've won, and are making me stand by the printer and stick invoices in envelopes when I've been successfully avoiding any kind of work all day. Grrr, thanks guys.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm nopt askinh anyone here to name a random music critic, i'd get a slap.

― mei (mei), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha ha, this is great! I asked another bloke at work, and he said "Yes! Yes I can! Fiona Fletcher!" I feel very chuffed now. :-)

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Rah!

>Or those white birds that ride on the backs of rhinos and peck bugs out of their skin folds?<

They're called zikzak birds, and I have no idea how their shit smells.

I liked Kate's yogurt culture post best, though. (How does that guy in De La Soul whose name is "yogurt" backwards fit into this, though?)
But sorry, the word "maths" as a plural will bug me til the day I die.

― chuck, Wednesday, 11 June 2003 14:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I like this game.

Ned Raggett! Tobi Vail! Steve Malkmus! Lou Barlow! All of Ladytron! Chris Charlesworth!

I could be here all day...

― Jerry (Jerry), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 14:47 (twenty-three years ago)

John Robb! Jorn Darnielle! Jon Slade! Jon Rogers! John Peel!

Wheee, this is fun....

― Jerry (Jerry), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, yr easy to amuse

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 14:50 (twenty-three years ago)

They couldn't name any other music critics, though. :-(

Jerry, you are DOUBLY disqualified as being both an ILM poster AND a member of the music press, so stop it. I will get a broom now to sweep up all the names you've dropped on the floor!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 14:50 (twenty-three years ago)

let's bug chuck eddy till he dies!!

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 14:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Make sure you wrap my name in plastic, it can be fairly toxic.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 14:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Jonathon Ross.

He said Radiohead's new album was great on his show last week which, ooooh, millions of people watch.

― mei (mei), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 14:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Can we *bag* Chuck Eddy till he dies?

― Jerry (Jerry), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 14:57 (twenty-three years ago)

kate you are on top form!!!!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 15:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am used to sweeping up names. I used to live with Suzy, remember? ;-)

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

chuck - mathematics = maths
i have never heard anyone say: "i am very good at mathematic."
therefore:
english people = right
US folks = wrong

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 15:28 (twenty-three years ago)

What do you know? You're Welsh!

Your word for mathematics is probably Llangffyrrddillgggbbbhhhhhttthhhdddddddddyyyyyyyyyyyllllddddd or something!

You say tomato, I say tomato.

BUT YOU'RE WRONG!

― mei (mei), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 16:56 (twenty-three years ago)

beacuse i'm tone deaf and rhythm-impaired, which never stopped me from gainful employment as a writer/editor.
and, more importantly, i'd rather drink a beer at the bar and be entertained. the music sounds better in front of the stage.

― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 12 June 2003 08:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Pants! Pantspantspants!!! World-WIDE pants!

― kate (kate), Thursday, 12 June 2003 09:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, we have pants too, but we choose to wear them beneath our TROUSERS!

― mei (mei), Thursday, 12 June 2003 09:45 (twenty-three years ago)

The only person I know who wears his pants over his trousers is Superman.

― kate (kate), Thursday, 12 June 2003 09:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey! That's it! Clark Kent was a journalist! They all secretly think that they will get superpowers and save the world through being music journalists rather than musicians!

― kate (kate), Thursday, 12 June 2003 09:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't you hate pants?
