"fucking A++" vs. "fucking asshole"

dom deliberately used american usage for 'public school' to avoid confusion um only a lot of americans know we give 'em different names.

also cos private and public schools in the uk are subtly different but both "private".

it's different... you can be like ya dude fuckin a right... or you can kind of mutter fuckin a under your breath to express disagreement or resignation.

Dom, I said the golden age probably never existed. Fwiw of all of the examples you listed I have only heard of Becky Lucas and Graham. I missed the rest. I have no idea what the Dog Latin thing is either.

Oh, and how have I been proved wrong?

I miss the golden age of ilx when 50p was paypalled to you every time you posted. This era may not have existed, but I think I'll talk about it at length.

^dear bong?

they misspelled "Bacon Syrup"

I met a guy the other night who said he played the viola. I asked him if he'd heard of John Cale. He said no.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PLAY THE VIOLA AND HAVE NOT HEARD OF JOHN CALE???

lol the guy was probably a classical musician anyway

haha man Ellison's a funny dude, why hasn't he been posting lately?

i would think it would be entirely normal to play the viola and not have heard of john cale

"you play fife and drum and you've NEVER heard of brian chippendale?"

"sister ray is my jam."

gree hee hee hee

i'm never going to get tired of gree hee hee hee

where did g.h.h.h. come from?

it is what laurel says, because she's a leprechaun!

make a post in the style of the poster above you

Apparently!

"gree hee hee hee" seems like it could be a pretty accurate spelling of the way Scooby Doo laughs.

i have never heard a leprechaun laugh like that.

Did you ever see an elephant fly
Well I seen a horse fly
I seen a dragon fly
I seen a house fly

I seen all that too
I seen a peanut stand
And heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked its eye

making people feel bad for crossing over just keeps us all divided. i hate this kind of thinking, and the person who started this thread sucks.

i'm mostly curious if it will have more or fewer voters than last year. i can't think of anything too good, certainly not Hinder good, so I doubt I'll bother submitting a ballot.

j0rdan s's jaded cynicism is overlapping with his naive enthusiasm

I can't even count how many books I read a year, but then I was raised by a librarian and a history teacher

-- Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, November 19, 2007 6:52 PM (10 minutes ago) Bookmark Link

Apparently a librarian and a history teacher who didn't teach you how to count.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

amazing

kind of the ideal zing, in a way

shakey is such an oaf.

there are some seriously smug mfs on that thread (that i started ;_;)

dude no way it's a pretty good thread. . .for ILE.

they're all missing the point

Working at a small bookshop for three years did much to educate me on how Americans view reading. At the Gap or something they just saunter in; at my store they would always pause nervously, look around, and head straight for the counter. You can see in their expressions that they're still haunted by Mrs. Bixby telling them in sixth grade that books and broccoli were healthy.

who is being zung there? america?

Okay, so I'm not going to waste any time reading that thread.

I didn't realize the zing thread had turned into the "Avoid this clusterfuck thread at all costs", but I do appreciate the assistance.

yeah, ilxors on literacy = AVOID AVOID AVOID

yes yes 50 cent & kanye are clever & very good businessmen. i think calling either of them "poets" though is one fuck of a stretch.

Especially the part where they attempt to procure an emotional response by working rhyming words into rhythmic patterns.
