P.S. Roxy I feel like something is wrong with the universe now that I have heard your speaking voice on YouTube.
What do you mean?! Was my accent too Blount County for you to handle? u_u
― roxymuzak, Thursday, 21 February 2008 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link
No! It was just strange to suddenly hear you talk. Maybe because I never hear ILXors voices without actually meeting them? I dunno, it was just strange.
Comparable strangeness: standing in New York at a show / barbeque on the Barnard campus and then turning around and there's RJG, standing there looking like RJG -- these things throw you for a loop, for a second!

there was that WHAT DO YOU SOUND LIKE thread once upon a time.

Oh right! And Ian R-M had an English accent. And I felt bad for him, because that's the sort of thing I would have done when I was 15.

Was that the thread where I called him Pip or did I show restraint that day?

jon tried to psychedelic-video chat me (my side didn't work) and it really threw me for a loop what his voice sounded like.
― jaxon, Thursday, 21 February 2008 22:05 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah. He sounds like a Yankee. Tripped us out too.

hearing jon's posts in jon's actual voice is always good for a chuckle

hearing dr morbius shout the chorus of "Gay Bar" is another thing that I will probably never forget
I apologize in advance for this possible slur, but I read all of Morbius' posts in a Paul Lynde voice.

I couldn't hear what was being said, but only "I hope the sound isn't turned on!"

Is ‘knowingness’ a real word? Spell checker kinda freaking out on it, saying it doesn’t exist.

dear nabisco, a friend of mine teaches at a local college and got a last minute assignment to a "critical thinking and popular culture" class. it is 2010, do you have any ideas for articles/books/etc he could include? maybe a case study on tv shows within tv shows?

just reread this via maxs recommend on gawker http://agrammar.tumblr.com/post/359990238/the-rules-of-the-game-a-fuller-thought-on-j-hopper and its sweet that nabisco is writing for nymag now and his reviews are typically brilliant but you know really he should be in the nytimes opinion section telling people what to think abt life - its not an unreasonable expectation

Strangely, I just read this piece because a friend posted it on facebook. Only after I finished the whole thing, nodding to myself the entire time how OTM* it was, did I realize it was from 2010, and only after that did I realize it was by Nabisco.
*OTM isn't even really an adequate term honestly, because it implies "this is shit I already thought but hadn't put into words this well" and I think this piece goes way beyond just stating well what I already thought.

nabisco's point that the tumblrers whoops i mean "the game" players tend to use the people in their stories more as props than actual people strikes me as v right

If nabisco would be still active here, most other posters could shut up.

i always liked that nabisco would have the dense intellectually rigorous multiple paragraph posts but would also bust out the zings and hardman styles as well. a complete artist.
― slam dunk, Thursday, 5 December 2013 02:31 (ten years ago) link
nabisco is not a cookie, you twit. nabisco is the national biscuit corporation, you fool, and is worth more than 20,000 of you put together (considering just the capital assets alone).
