Totally my favourite kind of dog, btw. Because they obviously need a lot of space and a lot of food they have always been quite high-status pets in cities. When a lot of the old guard emigrated or downsized into small flats they let them loose in Moscow so you used to get packs of them living in the parks and hanging around near markets. It was quite an experience to have these things that look like small-to-medium-sized bears barreling after you in search of treats but they really are the sweetest, silliest creatures. Unfortunately some moron attacked one when it was sleeping, iirc, and it made fairly short work of her so they ended up shooting them all.

Are you back home, LJ?

I am. I didn't see any of those dogs but I did restrain a mastiff the other day (Ken C possibly bore witness)

'they ended up shooting them all' = Russia, right

As an addendum, I'm still working on the same assignment; just that all involved have come to England. I did a lesson at a certain fairly well-to-do hotel yesterday, which involved helping a 15 year-old girl with her English coursework, which in turn involved the full explanation, discussion & analysis of a certain Andrew Marvell poem that may or may not contain sweetness being rolled up into a ball. Still debating whether it was a good or bad thing that the billionaire dad was listening in from the next room

excellent

ramzan kadyrov likes them too

they are probably quite different creatures if they are kept in cages and fed live rabbits and poked with sticks by off duty paramilitaries

there are several youtubes of the epic Russian sink vs. boar battle, but not all of them feature the small dog at the beginning

as several commenters point out, the dog presumably gets run over too

what were the circumstances of your meeting arrington from OTR?

played a gig supporting kid millions' new drum-only project, which was also great

you have a band now?

if you could spend a week in the london of the mid 18th century, who would you talk to and what would you do

carl linnaeus is the figure of that time whom i would most like to meet. we would discuss latin taxonomy

failing passage to sweden, i'd probably assist john hunter with his dissections

no wordsmiths?

sterne too northern, blake too young. course you could recommend some

you would know that era better than me but this was prompted by imagining you meeting dr johnson

obviously

what will have been the results of such tempestuous collusion, we wonder

some new words

bet you guys would get it on.

tbf yeah. i actually came to ilx to post that post not knowing of your clive martin retweets, it all came together splendidly

deja vu sense this may have been covered before, but do people irl say lj or is it an ilx innovation

trying to think of a football personality with the same initials who might be pictured wearing a monogrammed tracksuit

the veal is the only acceptable mondegreen, and as a meat-eater I'm happy to own it

wait is that what a mondegreen is

bit piqued not to have been offered agriculture at the very least btw

technically a mondegreen is where you move the dividing line between two words

you've got foreign obv

for eignobv

far enough

mondegreens in action

mondegreen sin action

not going to bedevil the relevant thread coz I've already pissed in h3lg's metallica chips this week, but shit me this sarah mary chadwick stuff is the worst music, just the worst (this also counts as an endorsement for those who hate my taste)

thx will check out when I get back

ok you've got northern ireland

ffs it took me literally 1 week to accidentally break my forever ILE exile by posting to a chess thread of all things, pls wish me strength and resolve

also could a moderator of ilxor.com pls move all chess threads to I Love AFL

i can only moderate threads on ILAFL. i cannot move threads from other boards to this board. I can give you a motivational yellow card if you'd like.

thank u sensei

do I have to give you another one for cultural appropriation lol?

lol what was the 'baby' incident again btw

there were several baby incidents! One of the first, was early in my ilxor career and you agreed with me that the term was infantilizing and problematic. Thus, I developed a fondness for you.

Then there were the frogbs baby incident, and the Aimless baby incident ...

Aimless was an 'O, dear' incident iirc? Similar tbf

maybe trying to accurately recall specifics of ilx exchanges involving Aimless is something else you should avoid? Considering?

ugh, fair

saying TWO nice things about a Fader list (and only one not-nice thing) vmooc surely

I think a lot of ilx is just getting old … and are doing the thing where we listen to and talk about music from when we were young
