or pray, even?

JOHN WILL YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED WITH RACHEL? IT SOUNDS LIKE A SAD STORY WORTHY OF MY SAD INDIE LIFE AND RIGHT ABOUT NOW IT WOULD PROBABLY HELP ME RESOLVE MANY THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS OF LIVING AND/WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC.

If someone could lower the threshold on the word 'offensive' sufficiently to explain this lock, I'd be grateful. Locking at this degree of wantonness is an arbitrary act which has the opposite effect to the one intended: sure, the thread was started by a repeat offender, but he's just about to be released from prison. He will take his place in society, and what's more, he will vote Democrat. But this throws him back into solitary and makes him more likely to want to wreak revenge, make mischief, use his creativity against us instead of for us, etc.

Umm, no. In the recent history, there have been two occasions when he's apologized, promised that he'll change his ways, and then after a while returned to his normal troll mode. It's a part of his show. I fell for it once, no one should anymore. We've given him enough second chances.

Lockism is the new rockism.

'R U 4 real? Have U paid yr dues?'

This thread has been rocked by a moderator.

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 18 June 2004 09:22 (nineteen years ago) link

For those about to lock, we refute you.

How is Calum gonna "vote Democrat" when he's a U.K citizen?

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 10:30 (nineteen years ago) link

That's a good question. Whoever you vote for in Britain, the Conservatives get in.

Avril is many things to many people...

avril is a meathole

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 18 June 2004 10:55 (nineteen years ago) link

is that a good or bad thing?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 10:56 (nineteen years ago) link

I reserve the right to change my opinions on Ms. Lavigne's purtiness based on how she's lighted & how much makeup her helpers apply / trowel onto her visage - the pics of Ms. L most of you offer don't do her any favors, and only serve to bolster J0hn's point re: rodentia. Best she's looked = "I'm With You" video.

Milo, would _Pieces of April_ be less twee if the Mag. Fields soundtrack were replaced by Neurosis or Deicide?

Well I stand by my opinion that:

A) ILX is obsessed with me (especially the hstencil guy who is sooo desperate to rip me a new asshole he inadvertedly ripped a friend of mine's one in the process and THEN started on me only after he saw his fault. Fucking moron).

B) Avril Lavigne is well hot. Love these lips!

― C-Man (C-Man), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:07 (nineteen years ago) link

how old are you cman?

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey man, I got "Aguirre, Wrath of God" for 2.97 last night!! It was in the middle of a whole rack of softcore and "erotic thrillers" on dvd, all at 2.97 ea as well (I didn't buy any of them though, sorry)

"But can you not see that I barely have lips at all?"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Never seen it Norm. I picked up some Hong Kong kung fu flicks fairly cheap recently though. Pick of the bunch is "Ninja in the Dragon's Den", which has the funkiest disco soundtrack ever (sung in English to boot)!

hstencil: get a life dude. I'm flattered that you want to spend so much time on me, but it's only taking up valuable time that you could be spending doing something far more worthwhile for this world... and yourself.

― C-Man (C-Man), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:14 (nineteen years ago) link

dude I figure if you can go on and on about chicks and their appearances, you're fair game for anyone else, Ralphie.

WAX ON, WAX OFF!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:16 (nineteen years ago) link

more pix of c-man's head pls.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Sure I'm fair game. But you've made your point already. I could look any way, shape or form and you'd still be unhappy. In this sense, you've LOST any, ANY mild humourous effect you might have initially had by slagging me off!!! But, hey, if it makes you happy dude please carry on.

(P.S. If you drop me an email I'll send you some more pics. I'm happy to oblige).

― C-Man (C-Man), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:18 (nineteen years ago) link

"Aguirre, Wrath of God" is one of those films dir werner herzog, starring klaus kinski, soundtrack florian fricke/popol vuh (see also "Nosferatu", "Fitzcarraldo", "Cobra Verde"). It's kind of a little bit like "Apocalypse Now", only set in the time of the conquistadores, and filmed on 1/10000 of the budget. I think it's fucking great, though I suspect it's perhaps not to yr taste.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:19 (nineteen years ago) link

no way dude you'll sign my email to porn sites!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:19 (nineteen years ago) link

no, if you looked more like Dan K., I would've laid off by now.

PAINT THE FENCE!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Wanna guest review it for my column?

― C-Man (C-Man), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Is it a short column? And thin?

― Comment dits-on...eh... le NA? (Nick A.), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Sure I'm fair game.

Calum Robert Waddell is fair game? Oh good.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:34 (nineteen years ago) link

SAND THE FLOOR, NED-SAN.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:35 (nineteen years ago) link

For fuck's sake.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:38 (nineteen years ago) link

But you've made your point already.

Calum to be fair I don't think you get to complain about people who've made their point already and who continue to go on & on & on & on & on & on & on long after everybody'd gotten the point & moved on

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:38 (nineteen years ago) link

(hahaha J0hn OTM)Calum Robert Waddell

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:39 (nineteen years ago) link

now I have an image of Dan as Sinead O'Connor as the Virgin Mary in "The Butcher Boy" saying, "Fer fuck's sake, Francie!" in my head

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Um, yay?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Is the movie of the Butcher Boy as completely harrowing as the book?

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:50 (nineteen years ago) link

quick question - what was wrong with this one? (apols if I am missing something...)

― reclusive hero (reclusive hero), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Basically C-Man's eternal tactic is to try and salt in 'serious' threads among everything else. Like him in general, it's obvious and tiring as an attempt to show he's a good citizen. Apparently Momus is the only one who buys it these days.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Ned I do think it's rather more complex than you do. Which is natural, 'cause Calum has this pathological Ned-obsession. But still. Positive reinforcement is the ONLY method of behavior mod ever shown to work, so locking his "American band vs. British Band I Really Like, O Where Have the Good Old Days Gone" threads isn't gonna accomplish much, unless it makes people feel better, which admittedly it might.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:58 (nineteen years ago) link

(xpost) Yes, but there's nothing wrong with that thread. If you want to ban him, surely it's easier to just ban him?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:59 (nineteen years ago) link

calum's like larry flynt!!

― ..., Friday, 18 June 2004 14:00 (nineteen years ago) link

someone should write a william mcgonagall style epic poem, entitled "the locking of the avril thread"

"beautiful insightful avril thread!
what a pity andrew nf rendered it dead
all those thoughts and opinions forevermore stopped
when the devil of wh3rd rendered it locked

In the summer of the year two thousand and four
when young calum's threads had become such a bore...

(etc etc for something like 100 verses)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:03 (nineteen years ago) link

it is difficult/impossible to ban a poster.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Pashmina I kiss you so hard for the McGonagall ref & sendup

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Is the movie of the Butcher Boy as completely harrowing as the book?

probably not quite, but still pretty damned harrowing. to my dismay, not the best date movie.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Positive reinforcement is the ONLY method of behavior mod ever shown to work

Except when someone takes advantage of that to assume it is an indulgence on the mods part and therefore open to abuse.
