One of my buddies from NYC is in town this weekend so probably in October-ish. I think.

DDB,

I love you the way you are, don't ever change.

What is the best food on a stick?

love,
tr

what type of wine cooler do you find the most appetizing?

sincerely,
miss allison kearney

I thought long and hard about this one... the corndog, the shiskabob, the satay... but i'm going to have to stick with "takoyaki", fried and breaded balls of octopus. When I was in Japan last year visiting my best friend, he hunted down the exact takoyaki-ya in Osaka that he had visited some 15 years earlier in his school trip to the ancient capital. needless to say, he navigated those twisted streets from off the train station, peaking around corners, sniffing into the air, and scratching his head before eventually pushing aside the drapery of the exact one from his jr. high school days. and it was delicious!

allison,

i think that the best wine cooler can be made by you, right in your home! take one two shots of dessert wine (try the bonnie doon vin de glacier) and then add a splash of chambord and fill the remainder of your RED wine glass with icecold sprite or seven up. swizzle and consume.

OR if you are feeling more adventurous: 3/4 sparks to 1/4 cactus cooler. this will knock your ass out (in time, mind you).

Love,
John

Our children are beginning to notice that Daddy and Mommy don't sleep together, and I think that's a bad example to set. Worse, our physical relationship has been deteriorating over the years, and I'm sure this is one reason why.

I feel disconnected in our marriage and often think about living alone or finding someone else. Can you give me any advice and hope? --Tracy in Arkansas

You two belong together. Love the one your with. Also, a shout-out to my peeps in West Memphis!

g!

a little late on this one, my apologies!!!

whats the cutest thing you have ever seen?

the dead c in march 2002 in san francisco.

what do you think of biore?

don't puke,
Ally

Should I eat homemade burritos 2nite, or Chef Boyardee ?

thanks,

HungryBrokeMan

I recommend the burritos because the ingredients are probably more time-senstive than Le Chef. (don't get me wrong, Le Chef has a time and a place, just not tonight).

I am writing for help in understanding what is happening in my life. It started three years ago, when my sister died of breast cancer at the age of 39. I was crushed when this happened. Then my best friend died at the age of 32.

Why do these things keep happening to me? I worry that I'll be next. Can you help me? -- Herbert in West Virginia

Buy a noize record. I recommend that Violent Ramp 7" from a few years ago.

Rock,

g!

How hung do you think Tobey McGuire is?? I've always wanted to know but never knew who I could ask - until I found your thread! I'm so sure you must know. You're awesome! I really wanna find out 'cause I'm his BIGGEST FAN - IF YOU CAN TELL HIM THAT IT WOULD MAKE MY DAY WOW!! Also, my friends and I have been wondering: do you think he ever sits around naked with David Blaine and Leonardo DiCaprio in a half-dazed manner and plays footsie with their naked toes? Would you suck him or would you suck me ? I hope you can answer my questions. They are really important to me. Thanks!!

- Pat in Texas

You need to get some action dude.

Good luck with that!

g!

how DO you do it?

adam.

You must be referring to my laundry. Well I've got one more load in the dryer. It just takes a few hours, some quarters, some detergent, and the energy to hike the four flights of stairs down to the basement and back several times.

Really: Thanks for asking,

gygax!

No, I do not believe I ever saw the Nephews. I was in SD 90-94. I have a feeling I cheated myself. :-(

Is this supposed to be a characature of Lee Marvin?

Ally

Do you think Jon Williams got C on Ts with the Korean girl he booty called tonight?

Dude, you MUST tell me your other gigs (lineups/venues/etc.)!!!

Ally,

You may be on to something, that could be Lorne Greene or Leslie Nielsen.

Ian,

Probably not because you are home and it's not even 1 in the morning. Ian lasts all night, at least according to what I saw written in the girls' restrooms around NYU.

Do you know any famous air force veterans besides Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, and Johnny Cash? It is for a "project" ie boredom and a long string of events involving Lee Marvin.

Thank you in advance,
Ally

hugs,
aaronhz

It is late and I am tired but wasn't 3rd party presidential candidate H. Ross Perot a distinguished air force veteran? did you see "where eagles dare"?

g!

also w/r/t JackCole asking what is cute, here is what Kiz says about cuteness:

"I saw Yoshimi's baby at the side of stage. He (maybe She) seemed just
one year old. wearing toy headphone and pointed forefinger to her
mother. that's cute!"

i am a PC user. i'm sorry i can't help you. maybe if you reboot your apple it will work?

if you have any energy left, please to tell me what objects are on the surface around the computer you were using.

thanks in advance,
adam.

it's ok cuz group chatz with ilxors usually don't go very far. gygax! how come in most ilx group chatz everyone sits there lurking while two people yammer away endlessly?

always,

ILX attracts voyeurs. Lurkers are omnipresent.

feel like treeship was in grad school when he started posting? wanna say creative lit mfa? i think i was in tenth grade

I mean, even in grad school I may have used Mosaic or Cello but Netscape Navigator was still in devs lol.

I started lurking here early on (y2k) when it was all Dexys/B&S threads and had nothing to contribute other than shilling my terrible blog.

I'm old!

STEVE, do you still party bro?!!

I partied with you a couple months ago my short-memoried bro! Pizza party!

xp i meant i was the same age as markers, sorry. was responding to earlier posts.

i thought i was the same age as you, flopson. i was born in 89.

i did go to grad school but my degree is in ed. i would have had more fun doing creative writing.

Steve, were you any music mailing lists and/or usenet in the 90s? Possibly the chugchanga list?

My embarrassing music posts have appeared on Drone-On, Chug(changa)-l, Osaka-Bears, Pavement, Sp0ckM0rgue & KXLU mailing lists. Usenet was alt.music.alternative & alt.music.brianeno for the most part. BBS were various disc.servs, thevelvetrope (lol) and eventually this ilx-verse. Probably forgetting a lot, but it's best for my mental health.

There was also a NZ/Flying Nun mailing list that was incredibly informative as well but I cannot for the life of me recall the name...

Acha. Then it's definitely DroneOn I know you from before ILX

FMBB? I remember lurking there from the real MBB and was scared of that place, lol. Absolutely too cool, informed, and arch for me.

FMBB was mostly nerdy shut-ins with terrible taste in music, eg that's where M@tth3w P3rp3tu@ made his mark selling $30 bootleg CDRs to naive kids before inventing "the first mp3 blog". MBB was great, Gerard was an absolute saint for interacting with so many dorks on the reg.

put on your rose fur coat steve shasta

i am right and u know it!

ILB civil war. Even though giants hold the power, I gotta take the pirates on this one

I also take the Pirates...?

Hey Steve Shasta, you didn't accidentally board-ban Clemenza when you got calstars, did you?

I'm back on, I think it's okay. Steve Shasta needs me--who else can he nitpick to death!

Clemenza I got your Lincecum cards! I’ll post about them and your last dispatch tomorrow!

I don't think so... Clem's posted plenty since I... last took out the trash.

steve shasta will you please call sooyoung up and request that he rock once again

he can totally just kinda murmur into the mic, no biggie

I support this request, please and thank you

he changed his name and lives between Hong Kong and Singapore.

he's doing rather well.
