Aren't you the originator of the ILX cat-lady, secret templed rooms of London zing?

I thought you'd never ask

every ilx thread but each time you write the word "bee" you close the thread faster

wait I still don't know which old shitty post liw was on about

I tried to listen to this, and the sound is okay, but there's way too much casual sexism in this song for me to like it. I guess I've become old, because when I was young I still tried to compartmentalise lyrics like this and still listened to them, but nowadays I'm just like, fuck it, my time is limited, I'd rather waste it listening to rap music that's not overtly sexist.

there was too many casual sexism in your posts upthread for me to like them either

There was a Danish news-parody show that once had an interview with a young guy from the populist right, who'd started a group protesting left-wing bias in the media. The first question was 'Can you tell me about your new group, you right-wing asshole?'

Not for nothing are Danes known worldwide as the kings of comedy.

also if you're going to post wikipedia screenshots it's a good idea to clear your history and cache, so you don't put on display what you didn't bother to click through

answer to thread title

(it should be noted that was a self-inflicted zing AND thread-wide zing. the holy grail for zingers.)

1330 is a fairly mediocre score, is it not?

^ this is such a classic sarahel "I'll just put this here" post

I did applaud that

i've done my share of faux naïf trolling over the years. i wouldn't dare judge. sometimes it just leaps out of the keyboard. there was an epic response from the person with that score though with a lot of juggling of ancient testing figures found on google. so, mission accomplished.

I removed my bookmark and walked away but I really need to go back for that one

is it really a zing if everyone who was zinged comes on here and is like "heh heh yeah you got me (shrug)"

That thread is so bad

Like even after the first person to come in and call out ppl comparing hi scores, nobody snaps out of it

i'm not gonna justify anything i wrote but i sure as hell never posted scores

that thread is like

I wanted to talk about how much tail I got in HS but figured that'd be gauche (NB, did not get tail in HS).

i don't think i ever read jess's original thread. figured it was just a dumb people be trippin' thing. compulsive score talk is just ilx brain squad par for course. those lovable dweebs.

i'm all in favor of a "you must be this tall must have above this SAT score to post on ilx" requirement

the number will be... 1331

i went to the prom with this girl i didn't know and embarrassed her beyond belief by getting really drunk and doing coke all night and then going to a party and doing coke and drinking until 6 in the morning and then my friends drove me to danbury high school to take my SAT. i didn't do so hot. i suck at tests though. and math. i did good on the part about words though.

you lost me at "went to the prom"

we went to this girl's house and her parents took our picture and i saw the picture later and they had colored in my shoes with magic marker to make them look black. they were a very polite Indian family who had no idea how fucked up i was. she was nice too. still feel bad about that....

my tie kinda fell down...

that such a worthless thread ultimately brought us to this wonderful destination... makes me feel like making some inspirational memes

xp to Lauren--Because on my way to places that aren't in any way close enough to walk or bike to, I often have to run errands and stop at the post office, bank, library, etc, and buckling and unbuckling every time I have to jump out if the car to mail a letter seems tedious and unnecessary

Taking nothing away from the people involved in making this happen, which I'm sure has been mind-bendingly complex, but watching that video I've never before seen so clearly the Kubrickian link between a spaceship and a caveman getting excited over a flying bone
