DEAR NABISCO

lol

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.

Fight

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.

i think i pronounce this right - but haven't had the chance to be corrected or anything. i am probably pronouncing the t/s more polish than anything, like t/z maybe

im pretty sure i was really drunk when i started this thread. and yet... im still disappointed nabisco hasnt appended the otm to his screen name

What do you think of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei1Sl7RAmzw

lol wait waht?

P.S. Roxy I feel like something is wrong with the universe now that I have heard your speaking voice on YouTube.

Dear Nabisco, where is this video?

WDYLL thread

P.S. Roxy I feel like something is wrong with the universe now that I have heard your speaking voice on YouTube.

What do you mean?! Was my accent too Blount County for you to handle? u_u

No! It was just strange to suddenly hear you talk. Maybe because I never hear ILXors voices without actually meeting them? I dunno, it was just strange.

Comparable strangeness: standing in New York at a show / barbeque on the Barnard campus and then turning around and there's RJG, standing there looking like RJG -- these things throw you for a loop, for a second!

there was that WHAT DO YOU SOUND LIKE thread once upon a time.

Oh right! And Ian R-M had an English accent. And I felt bad for him, because that's the sort of thing I would have done when I was 15.

Was that the thread where I called him Pip or did I show restraint that day?

jon tried to psychedelic-video chat me (my side didn't work) and it really threw me for a loop what his voice sounded like.

Yeah. He sounds like a Yankee. Tripped us out too.

hearing jon's posts in jon's actual voice is always good for a chuckle

hearing dr morbius shout the chorus of "Gay Bar" is another thing that I will probably never forget

I apologize in advance for this possible slur, but I read all of Morbius' posts in a Paul Lynde voice.

You missed the Youtube video of me being racist and dancing to eurotrance huh?>

ha. you mean this one? http://youtube.com/watch?v=WdHB3fY1nVw

lol

i can't believe you uploaded this.

no, I'm not racist in that one!

I couldn't hear what was being said, but only "I hope the sound isn't turned on!"
