Ask TOMBOT

actually, 10 and a HALF million people, and over 500 kinds of beer.

I sit corrected. I don't remember Belgium terribly well, apart from fries, mussels, beer, and rain.

Should I buy this or leave well enough alone. It got a relatively good review in the TLS.

Dear Tombot,

How did you discover Gunhed?! I thought I was the only one that's experienced that masterpiece.

Yours in metal,
Jeff

How come your thread hasn't devolved into personal insults and hardmanship like mine did?

And who do you really hate on this board?

TOMBOT what should i buy with a $25 amazon gift certificate

i think you should buy 3750 ladybugs:

M. White: Yes, you should get that book, and then tell me if it's any good when you read it.

Jeff: Late night cable, some years ago.

Mr. Plains: because I am a take-no-shit professional, and I have been around forever.

gbx: some Walker Percy books.

nobody was talking to you, elmo!!

Sci-Fi Channel at 2 A.M.? Because that's how I discovered it.

Sounds about right.

I don't think I 'got' The Moviegoer.

;_;

fine, i will go start my own "ask elmo" thread even tho no one asks me shit anytime

TOMBOT i need something new to listen to? what is it?

Mr. Plains: because I am a take-no-shit professional, and I have been around forever.

Hmm. I'm not sure if I like the implications of this answer.

I thought ladybugs was a good suggestion

tombot, where should i move:

somewhere cheaper in LA, SF, or back to RI?

I have seen firsthand the results of a ladybug infestation inside a house and it's not pretty. I kind of don't recommend it? Also they start to smell funny and stinky/astringent in large numbers/when dead/when sucked into a vacuum and pulverized.

i thought they were lucky

oh right laurel i peed in your house :\

Mr. Justen: I recommend the "Juice" OST.

Remy: Stick it out in LA. I was going to say take a leave of absence of sorts and go back home but then realized I should preach what I practice and stop trying to live vicariously through people who ask me for advice.

awww

S. Successor calls ladybugs "venereal bugs".

my old lady bought a buncha ladybugs for her garden--they all flew away a day later. still a good idea though

i don't have a garden

put them in a cage on the back of your bike and release them next time you go on a long ride

Dear Tombot,

I'm repainting a house and have free rein for the most part (getting it ready to sell). As a prospective buyer/renter, would you rather see a living room of '60s veneer wood panelling left as it was (dark), or would you prefer the panelling painted?

if you could buy $15 of LSD from amazon + $10 of ladybugs then maybe you'd have something

oh right laurel i peed in your house :\

i'd have....thousands of ladybugs tripping on acid. which would be fun, i guess!

Pete I'm confused: in Michigan?

yes laurel oh man im so embarrassed

You should really tell my mother. It would explain a lot about the cats' behavior in the attic.

ladybugs used to invade my old office at my last job every october. there would literally THOUSANDS of them in the walls and ceilings and light fixtures. it was pretty gross.

i think i would let ladybugs swarm me

the live ones i didn't mind, the dead ones baking in the overhead light fixtures were pretty gross though.

tom, u know that someone putting up w you and you loving someone are different, right?? u deserve it all

tombot why did you ban heave ho again?

milo: I would rather see it as-is, so that I may paint it myself if I so desire, but I am weird. Any room with dark walls is generally considered a liability by realtors. If I were in the position of the painter, as you are, I wouldn't bother, because I'm a lazy guy.

pete, thank you, bro. sometimes I need to be reminded.

chaki, I wasn't the one who finally dropped the hammer, but I fully agreed with the decision. He abuses ILX to further his own schemes and his stalking of several regular posters led to a series of complaints after each of which I warned his ass. three strikes.

but he came back and was banned again today. thats what i was referring to.

Tom, pancakes or waffles.

(And to keep it in our local tradition.)

Stella or Hoegaarden?

tombot why is itunes suddenly only playing nick lowe every 3rd song or so?

chaki: in all honesty I could not give a bad fuck about heave ho getting rebanned, one way or the other. I know he was still up to his same old shit on HTML Playground, which I tried my best to understand but really using ILX to play SEO games is no different from comment spam.

Mrs. nixed: Waffles and Hoegaarden.

chi-kev: I tried to fix it for you, did it take?

tombot:

can you come to hawaii and do a youtube version of ask tombot?

-gr8080

tom, playing the goodies "sophisticated boom boom" now. i let you know in two more songs.

gr8080, I may get real paid but unfortunately all my time off for the near future is already booked solid, I can certainly make that into one of my personal goals.

I don't think Heave Ho was REALLY SEO spamming

Dear El Tomboto,

Have you ever been ice-fishing?
