ilx is the game of pricks btw. you're not a prick lion, far as i can tell. iatee otm.

it's an undeniable track. that james greer story about the recording: http://www.theweeklings.com/jgreer/2013/01/12/the-time-we-recorded-game-of-pricks/

thanks, i will. i think i spent a lot of time happy not to engage with a lot of the world. as such, i wouldn't self-describe as fresh blood.

<3 you're cool

btw don't post more
life's too short
/trenchant

funny, cause my partner was like: 'you read this shit all the time and don't say anything? life's too short.' now though, she's advocating i get off the internet.

being predefensive about why your posts will be prerejected is decent self fulfilling prophecy but projecting that out to the entire site is nagl imo, if a common snowplough attachment for your standard approaching lurker

We believe in you lion

tbh, darraghmac didn't respond well to me six years ago the last time i tried to enter gracefully:

darraghmac, you've been especially helpful: for a while, in the earlier part of this decade, i lived on hanbury lane in the liberties (off meath st.) and dunville ave. in ranelagh.

darraghmac, you've been especially helpful:

this was entirely unintentional fwiw

i'll get by this time.

consistency is one of the great joys here.

Do I count as a lurker? I've posted a few times, whereupon the thread promptly flatlines.

ha! have many times contemplated the dn "threadkiller" but if you hang around long enough, plenty of regulars kill threads too, very equal opportunity the threadkilling

been mostly lurking myself for about half my life (found ilx thru momus' LiveJournal, don't kill the messenger he's made lots of good music)

but anyway thanks everyone, there isn't anywhere else to be quite like this, and I would know, been on the webernets half my life and all

hahaha

srsly man?

i may not recall correctly, but iirc, that was a riff on having posted 'this was entirely intentional btw' just prior

if not, it was entirely unserious.

i feel like that should end in ffs but uh i dont wanna scare you off for another few years so uh idk hi

i didn't take it that way then; couldn't help now though that the two lurker threads i show up on in six years you respond to. that's the problem with not engaging: you're just begging to raise your hand and say 'hello.' swollen with silence or whatever.

by take it that way, i mean: srsly. it's a lot to start jumping all over street names/nabes.

well im. not taking this lion down hy god

not least til winter passed.

hi velko

i lurked for a long time before i started posting - now, as an established z-list poster, i can look back on thousands of my own inconsequential shitposts and think 'at least i have this collection of worthless opinions and pisspoor lowercase 'jokes' to show for wasting my time on ilx'

I've been posting here since my jr. high-aged nephew was born (nb: I don't actually have a nephew) and, although the urge to lurk was at times strong, I've found that getting knocked around a bit for shooting my mouth off has been helpful in my development into arguably the freshest and most provocative voice on the board (Variety's words, not mine).

see thats the kinda success story we love here

I lurked for around 15 years but broke the silence this year.
