i don't think whiney should work too hard at making any catchphrases happen until "billyburg beardos" or "tumblr whites" has reached a tipping point

some dude, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)

Ugggghhhh fuck no. Wondermark is like "worthless internet WoW-playing life-failures" but then add "They Might be Giants Community superfan"

aww he could abbreviate it WIWLF - and it could be pronounced as "wih-wolf"

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:16 (fourteen years ago)

well that pretty succinctly describes why I like Wondermark so much, although I haven't played WoW in like 8-9 months

seriously, it could be like how Sassy used to have Cute Band Alerts, you could have the WIWLF Alert -- things that are new and trendy in that demographic -- and it would involve a drawing of a chubby bearded guy in a wolf shirt

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:19 (fourteen years ago)

WIWLF doesn't have the frisson of self-indictment of the other whiney insults that force him to come up with insane technicalities like 'i live in a DIFFERENT part of brooklyn' or 'i use TWITTER not tumblr'

some dude, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:22 (fourteen years ago)

haha

How about the some dude butthurt hour

what's a goon to garbus (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:25 (fourteen years ago)

'tumblr whites' has got to go places

goole, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:25 (fourteen years ago)

xp but it might do that for some of Spin's readers?

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:26 (fourteen years ago)

why would my ridicule come from a place of butthurt if the closest any of those comes to describing me more than you is 'watches the wrong network television show'?

some dude, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:26 (fourteen years ago)

Hey, Dad, I can't see real good... is that Fred Armisen over there?

what's a goon to garbus (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:27 (fourteen years ago)

tumblr whites just makes me think of laundry

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:27 (fourteen years ago)

I would read a bi-monthly "Whiney builds a strawman" column

be scientific, douchebag (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:28 (fourteen years ago)

it's called ilx

what's a goon to garbus (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:28 (fourteen years ago)

we could call it bill or we could call it billyburg beardo!

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:28 (fourteen years ago)

lol Whiney got there before I could

Vaseline MEN AMAZING JOURNEY (DJP), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:29 (fourteen years ago)

i honestly don't remember which part of ny you live in or lived in when i visited you last year haha, was it williamsburg? green point?

some dude, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:29 (fourteen years ago)

we'd have to design a new system of shorter temp ban periods in order to make it only bi-monthly

some dude, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:29 (fourteen years ago)

remember when whiney said that the beatles were as omnipresent as pizza?

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:30 (fourteen years ago)

remember when sarahel posted something on ILX that wasn;t about me or the Admin Log?

what's a goon to garbus (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:31 (fourteen years ago)

you're still the only person in the world who thinks the ubiquity of the beatles is a controversial topic, sars (xpost)

some dude, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:31 (fourteen years ago)

SARS

what's a goon to garbus (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)

true, everyone i know agreed with me that the beatles being as omnipresent as pizza was stupid and ridiculous

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)

everyone you know in OAKLAND

what's a goon to garbus (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:35 (fourteen years ago)

nah, some people in SAN FRANCISCO and BROOKLYN too!

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:35 (fourteen years ago)

maybe sarahel and deej can come to some kind of consensus about how hugely popular the jacka is

some dude, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:36 (fourteen years ago)

i think that says more about what you pay attention to than what i post about tbrr w/u

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:38 (fourteen years ago)

force her to come up with insane technicalities like 'i post about in a DIFFERENT part of ILX' or 'i post about DAVE COOL not whiney'

what's a goon to garbus (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:40 (fourteen years ago)

yeah whiney it should have been "remember when sarahel posted something on ILX that didn't end in a question mark"

D-40, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:40 (fourteen years ago)

break it up ya mugs

drop these whiners on a island (Surviver style) (forksclovetofu), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:41 (fourteen years ago)

thread is just getting good

what's a goon to garbus (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:42 (fourteen years ago)

Is forks really stirring the pot?

some dude, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:44 (fourteen years ago)

'tumblr whites' has got to go places

this phrase totally sticks in my head, though i don't really have any context for it. only tumblr i've ever followed is/was mosurock's "still single". he's probably white?

Totes le Héros (contenderizer), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:45 (fourteen years ago)

xp but good for WHO
think outside the bun mon frere

drop these whiners on a island (Surviver style) (forksclovetofu), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:45 (fourteen years ago)

if that's gonna be a new Spin feature, you gotta pay me something

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 20:56 (fourteen years ago)

i think reaching out to a white audience is a good change for spin

the wild eyed boy from soundcloud (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 2 March 2012 20:58 (fourteen years ago)

i still don't know what a tumblr white is

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2012 21:04 (fourteen years ago)

that requires a question mark

Ward Fowler, Friday, 2 March 2012 21:04 (fourteen years ago)

the tumblr white....is you sarah...it's been you all along

the wild eyed boy from soundcloud (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 2 March 2012 21:05 (fourteen years ago)

it's me
it's me
it's all for me
do you tell me all the time?
