ILx "first mentions"

I randomly remembered that I'd tweeted at the OED about this, and so it just occurred to me to check to see whether they'd done anything with it. So maybe it's been in there for a while. In any case, what a delight.

too bad Stan isn't here to see all this

I wrote him, but he still ain't calling

Waited outside in the blistering POLL.

lol

Only times I had something to do with them, theyve tried to beat me up, shoot in my direction (pretty close, but only one time) or arrest me. Im glad its in the past. But still, whenever I see a cop I react the same way as when I see a skinhead; with disgust. ACAB, for sure..

Dates back to the 1920s though - when there was no ILX, or even Belle & Sebastian forums.

t/s 4-Skins fanzines vs Belle & Sebastian forums.

wiki page on ACAB is interesting

aged 7 or 8 i remember my dad singing "all coppers are bastards" to the tune of the line "pop does the weasel" when he didn't know i could hear him -- and then (to my mum's tremendous glee) having to explain to me what it means, why someone would say it, and finally why "bastard" is a bad word that it isn't polite to use

lol

well i can't unhear that now

"A million times more greasy than they actually are": are you suggesting some alien-derived mind control which actually makes crisps seem greasier than necessary to us, allowing a reduction in the use of expensive-but-tasty grease in the manufacture of our favourite potato based snack?
And search: bags of those fishy old Scampi Fries containing more than 5 fries. And destroy: Cheese Moments, which surely contain the most repulsive cheese-like substance ever to have been imported from space? Some competition here, I know.

history was made that day

lol guess who said "a million times more greasy than they actually are" tho

(actually "a million times more soggily greasy than they actually are")

WHICH MADE NO MORE SENSE.

On admission I will admit to having put a Scampi Fry between two Bacon Fries and eaten it like a very small sandwich.

apologies to all, i meant a TRILLION times

sense restored

JFC.

Twenty years of this. TWENTY YEARS.

Bob Seger is awesome. Anita Baker? What would anyone have against Anita Baker? She is awesome.
You have to remove "Wonderful, Tonight" and most other classics because I would imagine _someone_ on ILM will be down. And England Dan and JFC are also klassic. Love Is The Answer, indeed.

I would take aim on Hootie or Spin Doctors [Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, anyone?] for ILM most-hated. Semisonic's closing time would be my guess...

BUT I was thinking of Proud To Be An American this morning. I saw it on a bumper sticker and I'm certainly NOT, so... yes... mr. g-wood in tha funkee hiz-ouse.

retrospective FP for Cheese Moments heresy

au contraire, tim otm. i've had one cheese moment and it scarred me for life.

no theyre good, you didnt have enough is the fact of it

Twenty years of pus eaters and grease imaginers.

its resultant paste all the way down is how i break it down to an extent

This disparagement will not stand

ugh now there's an army of moths hovering around the nightlight outside and their hundreds of babies have found their way in here.

have i mentioned i hate bugs?

There are no sexy politicians, though San Francisco's District Attorney Kamala Harris may come close:

Good one

Frankly, I'm amazed the photo link isn't broken.

u can embed photos in spreadsheets?

Surprised this hasn't been posted here before:

Kerry's my guy for now, and I don't think that will change though I like him less personally the more I read about him.
I like Dean (especially) and Edwards (somewhat), but don't think either has enough experience. Gary Hart intrigues me, but I think he's running for a position of influence, not President, and I'm not sure he'd be a good one. Lieberman and Gephardt are definitely qualified, but I have substantive problems with both, and Gephardt is unelectable. Maybe Lieberman too.

Clinton, writ large, can run of course. Biden would be very interesting.

I will vote for whomever is the nominee, though.

2004 might've been Biden's year in retrospect

I'm so old I remember liking Joe Lieberman

What did you like about him

liking Joe Lieberman is like liking Amy Klobuchar is like liking Matlock tbh
