Where's the thread asking us to guess an artist's discography using visually similar images of the album covers on Google Image Search?
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 15 November 2019 05:55 (four years ago) link
That was a fun thread! No idea what it was called.

I just went and tried to use GIS visually similar images to see if this could be replicated, but unfortunately they just gave me back 100 pictures of the same album cover.

Gotta admit though, that the blurred Photobucket images make it more of a challenge.

Do we have a dictionary of ILX memes?
― pomenitul, Thursday, 30 January 2020 12:16 (four years ago) link
Think I asked for an ILX glossary a couple of years ago and was completely ignored.
― Wuhan!! Got You All in Check (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 30 January 2020 12:17 (four years ago) link
I guess ILXors are protective of their shibboleths.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 30 January 2020 12:18 (four years ago) link
That's what I thought at the time, now I think it's more about a lack of ownership over this stuff and an ambivalence about giving an easy way in to what are perceived as low-quality posters. Also maybe people don't realise quite how much there is, I even forget that "otm" isn't really commonly used outside here.

Lack of ownership def, but I don't believe the above to be the case. It's more a question of: where to start? I believe there's a thread accompanying santorum.jpg, which covers some ground, but who has the time/energy/desire to compile all of ilx's memes?

looking for the website with the "bad teleconference call" simulator, with all the phrases passing through on a loop with droning music in the background. 90% sure this was a Karl Malone joint, maybe 2-3 years ago?

inspired by Hendrix thread title... been wondering for a while, is there a thread featuring examples of guitarists/vocalists throwing to the guitar solo with a corny line? are there enough examples for this to be threadworthy? a fairly boutique enquiry, I will freely allow.
(IMO all-time best example being 'alright doll-face, come on and bore me')

NV: it's a useful way of dropping recommendations of a certain year into a thread of that year? Other than that, I've got no good answer to "why bother" when it comes to this, or to anything else really.
