DEAR NABISCO

GRRRRRRRRRRR okay I'm sorry but I get REALLY sick of that fucking argument, and will not countenance it except maybe from well-meaning 16-year-olds who just had their MINDS BLOWN by the cool English teachers they're going to get their college-app recommendations from, or MAYBE stoned college freshmen just learning the wonders of the Stoner Solipsism Bubble, because at least that's preferable to their getting their Mind Blown Explanation to the Universe(TM) from Ayn Rand or Macro-econ 101.

Our opinions are subjective, no shit; if this makes talking about them an "exercise in futility," then you are claiming that ALL HUMAN COMMUNICATION IS POINTLESS, yes, no point sharing our subjective impressions and comparing them and being interested in other people's and maybe letting other people's subjective impressions influence our own, etc. etc.

And we know for a fact you DON'T BELIEVE THAT, because you've bothered posting to a message board and trying to communicate with other people, beyond which you're STILL ALIVE, and if you honestly believed in such a bullshit anti-human fake-logical position, you would be so much better off just killing yourself and not bothering the rest of us in our alleged Solipsism Bubbles.

P.S. All those caps are not just textual emphasis and are literally me YELLING AT YOU.

Actually, there's a place for preciousness and a place for skeptical snark. Only when the two coincide do you have a problem, and then only when you're on the side of preciousness. In fact, it's fair to say that a process of natural selection has occurred, driving out some of ILX's whimsy in favour of hard fact and mordant wit. There's no denying that a great moment of lightness still has the power to silence the mockers, though. Posters such as estela and nabisco are pass masters at this.

That is pretty cool.

Yes it is.

hello nabisco,

have you noticed that your first name, pronounced with slightly different vowel sounds, sounds the same as poster BIG HOOS aka the steendriver's original alias, hoosteen? thoughts?

yrs,
max

p.s. i mean, "sounds the same backwards"

dear nabisco,

pls to report on any bar fites you may have initiated this evening.

thx!

-t

!

is it bad that OTM mushroom upthread is still making me laugh

Nabisco,

Do you wear houseshoes?

Regards,
Roxy

it just occurred to me that i might have no idea how to say nabisco's name

like the ilx poster, "barima," - i thought i figured that out, until i met him, and his name sounds like "burma" actually

knit sue

oh okay I WAS RIGHT WOOHOO

the k is silent

I have been told there's some kind of unique pronunciation to the "-ts-" as well but I wasn't paying that much attention.

hoosteen ---> neetsooh

what are the chances that nabisco and big hoos are the same person

big O the TMdriver

roxy, if it matters, i wear houseshoes

(a) "Hoosteen" backwards would be "Neetsooh," which is one of very few mispronunciations of my name that I don't like, because it makes me feel like the person is trying to make up for not knowing how to say it by choosing the option that allows him to call me "neat." It is usually "him," with this pronunciation. And no, I had never noticed that about HOOS.

(b) I beat up a panda.

(c) I do not wear houseshoes. I would describe my normal around-the-house wear, but it tends to consist of random accretions of whatever garments are scattered near where I'm sitting, added to or removed based on temperature fluctuations, which can leave you in arrangements that are perfectly normal but really not flattering to describe. P.S. Roxy I feel like something is wrong with the universe now that I have heard your speaking voice on YouTube.

(d) Mawndy and Joan are wrong about how to pronounce my name. I'm sorry. This happens because I don't bother correcting anyone on how to pronounce my name. Mostly because I can't pronounce it exactly right, either. The "T" and the "S" are one sound, a kind of hard, sharp S. If you can't make this sound, pretend the "T" is silent. If you CAN make this sound, don't make it around me, because I'll feel bad.

(e) Chances that me and HOOS are the same person seem slim: I'd like to think that if I were splitting off some kind of multiple-personality Stephen King / Fight Club thing, the other personality would do something more interesting than just post to ILX, too.
