three months pass...

I used to be able to find the O.C. thread by Googling "peter gallagher's eyebrows" + "amateurist," but that doesn't work anymore and Direct ILX Search doesn't like short words like "the" and, uh, "O.C." Anyone?

Everyone looking for KITTY thredds. Makes sense.

Re: The O.C.

The search does actually look for display names too. This isn't documented, though, so I just looked for amateurist and then scrolled about.

It will work better in the next release ("O.C." should work).

The original of "Fuck Washing a Hat"

The first time of seeing it for me was on an Excelsior thread, but I can't find it there either.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 09:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha, I had to use the "can someone help me find the thread for when you can't find threads" because I couldn't find it - "can't find" as a direct search didn't pick it up.

Anyway, I cannot find the current Doctor Who thread. "Dr Who", "doctor who", judoon, sontaran, tennant, martha don't pick it up, even macra which I know is in the title.

OTOH I only want to talk about the DVDs announced today so even the "doctor who has lost its way..." thread would do. Search doesn't find that either.

Never mind, just found it by actually searching in g00gl3 itself. Search seems to be doing something odd, in that case.

― aldo, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:35 (sixteen years ago) link

I think Le Coq said "Fuck Washing a Hat" first?

― Mark C, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:13 (sixteen years ago) link

How about the thread(s) with recommendations for where to stay in NYC?

Aldo, it would've got "warriors", which is in the title. Dr Who is particularly tricky, as Dr has only two letters and is automatically excluded from the search, and "who" is a 'stopword', i.e. part of a list of words that MySQL automatically excludes from the search. Don't see 'macra' in the title, though.

Thank you.

― eater, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link

Any time.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude, can you post more of a clue as to the thread's title, or who started it?

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Can someone post that "choose your own adventure book: dating a co-worker" image again please? Google didn't help when I was looking the other day

― DJ Mencap, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:47 (sixteen years ago) link

You're right Keith, macra isn't in the title, sorry. It is in the thread several times though... so although direct search didn't pick it up, the usual search on either wh3rd or p3r should pick it up.

― aldo, Friday, 18 May 2007 18:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Saw one of those captioned cat pics that says "we're not funny anymore". find please.

ILM thread that talked about accessible tracks for "difficult artists," wherein I said, "Hey, 'Paperhouse' is cool!" and revealed that I didn't listen to Can.

― Leee, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link

Found it: What one track of a notoriously difficult artist would you offer to someone who's curious about said artist?

And I started it.

Thanks JW

I'm pretty sure this is the thread with the dolphin-people, but I'm not willing to click on it again to find out - What kind of alien species are on the new super-earth? NOT SANITY SAFE EITHER.

There was a thread where a couple of ILXors went back and forth in a sort of Dickensian English dialogue. Just some silly sh*t but written in a Victorian persona. Anyone know it?

Are there any threads (of more than miniscule length) for The Sopranos prior to season 6? I've been making my way up from episode 1 but am only in season 5 at this point. Curious what people have said...

― sean gramophone, Friday, 25 May 2007 05:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Do you rate the Sopranos?

― Tape Store, Friday, 25 May 2007 05:31 (sixteen years ago) link

THANK YOU. HOW DID I NOT FIND THAT?!

Wasn't there one main thread where we all carefully outlined our opinions on whether or not the US should invade Iraq? Cuz that would be really interesting reading today.

― nabisco, Friday, 25 May 2007 17:51 (sixteen years ago) link

I'd really rather not bring that up personally.

― TOMBOT, Friday, 25 May 2007 17:57 (sixteen years ago) link

You're in luck, then: I found the one I wanted!

― nabisco, Friday, 25 May 2007 18:27 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm betting Rosie O'Donell will be all over that thread as well.
