Y'all don't know me (for real)

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I've posted here a few times (mostly in ILM) and from the stuff I've posted I'm assuming you know the following:
-I'm 25, live in Minnesota and write freelance
-I like Clinic, Beck, El-P, Daft Punk, Ghostface Killah and have a minor appreciation of Wilco
-I watch professional wrestling
-I can be an irritable fucker
-Oh no! Goatee! Oh NO!!
-(parentheses)

But that's about it. I think such unforthcomingness has led to a sort of reticence on the part of others to guess what I'm supposed to actually be like (hence the lack of nominations on "ILxers you'd like to [blank]/as [blank] threads, I guess).

SO... this is where you guess the rest of the details. No using Google or visiting my blog. Just read the posts I've made here and here alone, and extrapolate from there. I know it seems solipsistic, but I really do get a kick out of this "virtual community" (as I'd put it if it were 1995 and I were an absolute tool) and I'm just interested in knowing where I fit.

You {> eth*n

― Bill E (bill_e), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Mind you, I can't talk, I've been lurking on ILX since 2001 & I never post!

― Bill E (bill_e), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I sideways mustache and goatee him?

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:06 (twenty-three years ago)

you wish you could go to FAPs and meet these folks. But you're stuck in the midwest.

I feel that. *pumps fists against chest, points in your direction*

You get mad when people say you look like dj shadow,

― bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:16 (twenty-three years ago)

You have a kind face.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:16 (twenty-three years ago)

you do not like robert xgau or ca$h money

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Dastoor has yr face embedded with the meaning 'child molester' in his head bcz of an unfortunate association of words

Also, that other pic that makes you look like French Stewart, yeah, that's fucking hilarious.

― Millar (Millar), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:22 (twenty-three years ago)

If you tilt yer head sideways, you DO!

― Bill E (bill_e), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:36 (twenty-three years ago)

You get mad when people say you look like dj shadow

That's because I ACTUALLY look like this:

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:48 (twenty-three years ago)

You look like Benicio del Toro?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:49 (twenty-three years ago)

(not that I prefer one over the other musically, it's just that the Cap'n is just more stylish)

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I am irritated by Xgau's tendency to detest 90% of my favorite bands/albums, though I can't bring myself to h8xor him like I do, say, Jim DeRogatory. Ca$h Money I am actually ambivalent about.

See? Educational, AND with pics of Captain Beefheart to boot!

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:56 (twenty-three years ago)

- You prefer imported beers, esp. German ones.

- You currently have no pets, though you had a dog during your childhood.

- You prefer Jay Leno to David Letterman.

― o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 04:02 (twenty-three years ago)

-I don't drink
-We had a dog for about a week until it shit on my brother's pillow and then we got rid of it
-GOD DAMN NO

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 04:47 (twenty-three years ago)

You look like Benicio del Toro?

Hahahahaha! This is great because he reviewed the damned record for AMG! Even commented about how swank he looks! (the humor lies not in supposed Ned ignorance but the exact opposite, of course)

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 04:53 (twenty-three years ago)

1 out of 3 - I guess I don't have a bright future as a psychic.

― o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 04:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I know what I'm doing, my dear Nate. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 05:04 (twenty-three years ago)

you enjoy anal,oral and vaginal sex.

― anthony easton (anthony), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 05:46 (twenty-three years ago)

as a cold reading, that one's a no-brainer

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 05:47 (twenty-three years ago)

but giving or recieving!?

(okay, vaginal excepted. my contribution therefore: you do not have a vagina)

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 06:24 (twenty-three years ago)

ha! you don't know nate at all!

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 06:25 (twenty-three years ago)

your most common usage of the term 'heel' is not common most common usage of the term 'heel'

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 06:26 (twenty-three years ago)

nate may look like captain beefheart. but can he make music like? and if he can, would he even want to? (if he does, i hope it's more like trout mask replica or doc at the radar stattion than spotlight kid).

― Tad (llamasfur), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 06:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Nate, your name is familiar but I couldn't say what I thought you were about. Why do you think I should be able to?

The majority of the most regular posters I could only make a stab at, and that's based on the dumb personas we put forth online. '

Not only do I not feel like I don't *know* people but I doubt they know me and I've been posting here for about a year and a half.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 07:29 (twenty-three years ago)

What Samantha said. Oh, and you have a tendency to seek a few comforting friends when you feel vulnerable, you don't like to suffer on your own.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 10:04 (twenty-three years ago)

What Samantha said. Oh, and you have a tendency to seek a few comforting friends when you feel vulnerable, you don't like to suffer on your own.

(I am posting thisbecause it wasn't Jerry, it was me - forgot to log him out before hitting "submit", apologies)

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 10:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, you could have some fun this morning!

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 10:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, can we play 'Mark Or Lark?' where we have to guess if it's actually Jerry posting, or you pretending to be him?

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 10:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Genius. Just like Bard or Blake!

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 10:58 (twenty-three years ago)

1: you'd like to visit mcmurdo sound one day but probably never will
2: you prefer jell-o w/o stuff embedded in it, though you wouldn't say anything probably
3: your origami is not up to snuff

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 11:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Easton is pretty much right on except for the whole "anal sex" thing.
Mark is close enough.
I used to have a vagina but I sold it on eBay.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 12:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Nate is grate

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 12:26 (twenty-three years ago)

YOU IS A HATER!!!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 15:02 (twenty-three years ago)

you smashed your head open on a bus once.

(right?)

― g.cannon (gcannon), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 15:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I barely feel I know anything about most of the ILXers I've met a few times - such as Jerry The Nipper on this thread for instance, let alone pretty regular types I've not met like Lara say. (Mark C is different: after last night's FAP, I know far too much...)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:01 (twenty-three years ago)

You sympathize with the furries.

― Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:27 (twenty-three years ago)

You have a secret desire to posess secret desires

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:30 (twenty-three years ago)

You have developed a geneology of the American music critic.

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You sympathize with the furries.

OH SHIT NO.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Thursday, 20 February 2003 00:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I used to be associated with those people sort of by proxy a few years back seeing as how I drew cartoon animals beating up other cartoon animals and driving sports cars and goofy shit like that, but I decided to give up on the whole thing when I realized what lonely sex deviants most of them were.

Also, I was sort of hoping that people would actually guess my personality traits instead of repeating facts I'd already posted.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Thursday, 20 February 2003 00:30 (twenty-three years ago)

you like cookies

― zemko (bob), Thursday, 20 February 2003 00:56 (twenty-three years ago)

in fact, have this one!

― zemko (bob), Thursday, 20 February 2003 00:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I would guess that you have a bit of a nasal voice and are quite obnoxious at first but really quite a sweet guy underneath.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 20 February 2003 01:58 (twenty-three years ago)

If by "nasal" you mean "how most Minnesotans talk no matter how hard they try not to", then survey says "DING"

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Thursday, 20 February 2003 02:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Fuuck. I don't talk like that! (i hope)

― Dan I., Thursday, 20 February 2003 03:44 (twenty-three years ago)

God, I get so turned-on by Minnesotan accents. I need to get some tape recordings of Minnesotans talking to fall asleep listening to every night.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Thursday, 20 February 2003 05:11 (twenty-three years ago)

You went on a vaction to the Grand Canyon as a kid, and visited your aunt and uncle who lived in Flagstaff, but now moved to a suburb of Huston, TX. You other aunt and uncle (Mark?) on your father's side live in Seattle. You own a gray saturn. You have been to Windy & Carl's record store. You've been to Niagra falls. You have never been to Disneyland, but have been to Disney World. You have been to NYC about 5 times.

― A Nairn (moretap), Thursday, 20 February 2003 05:38 (twenty-three years ago)

You really love "Sea Breeze" and think it is one of Beck's best albums.

― A Nairn (moretap), Thursday, 20 February 2003 05:40 (twenty-three years ago)

You have a poster of Marty Robbins hanging over your bed.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Thursday, 20 February 2003 05:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Wrong wrong wrong

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Thursday, 20 February 2003 07:22 (twenty-three years ago)

you used to love rage against the machine ... and yer repressing yer former love for fugazi and consolidated!

― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 20 February 2003 07:35 (twenty-three years ago)

What about that period in your life where you followed Wham! around, as a platonic groupie?

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Thursday, 20 February 2003 07:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Tad's half right (the first). Passing is wrong since Wham broke up before I turned ten.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Thursday, 20 February 2003 12:09 (twenty-three years ago)

one day you will afford that all-important third nipple

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 20 February 2003 12:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Then I can pose as Scaramanga! Fuck yes.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Your middle name is "Babs."

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:17 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, this is getting creepy.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:39 (twenty-three years ago)

did someone mention you have no tatoos?

― Michael B, Friday, 21 February 2003 02:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Then I can pose as Scaramanga!

Now that would be cool...why does no one ever bring up Scaramanga?

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 21 February 2003 02:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Because the movie he was in mostly stunk and his henchman was HERVE VILLECHAISE. But come on: CHRISTOPHER LEE.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Friday, 21 February 2003 02:32 (twenty-three years ago)

so whats the story...got tatoos then?

― Michael B, Friday, 21 February 2003 03:12 (twenty-three years ago)

No. I just got a haircut, though. It looks sort of like this (only I don't give people Exploder suplexes)

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry for the gratuitous puroresu content but I just ordered this import Japanese PS2 wrestling game ("King of Colosseum"! Whatever the hell that means) that is supposed to be the swankest thing ever and I am geeked x 1000.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:22 (twenty-three years ago)

That's what I mean: Christopher Lee! We should be talking about him all day!

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:23 (twenty-three years ago)

(oh also my hair is not dyed)

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:25 (twenty-three years ago)

see, i only watch wrestling if Stone Cold is involved.....what other reason is there?

― Michael B, Friday, 21 February 2003 03:34 (twenty-three years ago)
