I kind of like how when Alex in NYC finds something funny, he doesn't copy it and paste it into the Excelsior LOL thread, he just posts "Hahahahahaha." It's classy and elegant.

Actually, maybe we shouldn't do "duds," just classics, for the sake of peace and harmony.

*scratches chin*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I get confused by the only lowercase people because my brain always assumes that it's amateurist, but sometimes it's not.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned has too many stylistic quirks to sort through.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Dud: the way n/a always tries to make people "get along". JUST KIDDING!

― Huk-L, Monday, 13 September 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

All quirk and no substance, I fear.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Is this, the appropriate thread, to mention, RJG's commas?

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, you, Ned.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I like RJG's commas but they seem a little forced by this point.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Capslock: DUD.

I am a gigantic fan of Chuck Eddy's seemingly-to-the-untrained-eye excessive parinthetical rant amendments.

hi andrew!!!!

This quirk never got got fully

Hey Mandee! Go on AIM if you like, go on

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think I have a stylistic quirk. Perhaps I should develop one.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

HI DERE! WAHT IS IT MADE??!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:51 (twenty-one years ago)

N., I was going to mention that I like your style on this thread.

ILM posters' quirks

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the way cozen makes the effort to revive interesting threads, especially considering our haphazard classification scheme.

I like the way gabbneb gives extraordinarily descriptive answers on the national parks thread and on one of the restaurant threads.

I like amateurist's engagement with "high" and "low" culture.

I like the way William Bloody Swygart at times continued the US Open thread on his own.

This thread was a bad idea. :(

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I, for my part, use too many commas, in a sentence.

Momus taught RJG all he knows.

Sorry I don't mean to seem

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Ken C's last post is very funny!!

Alba, the way you write is very distinctive!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:02 (twenty-one years ago)

'postrophe, unlike punk, never dies!

(blame Andy H, if you want, for that :)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:02 (twenty-one years ago)

What is distinctive about it, Pashmina? The only thing I can think of is that I overuse the phrase 'some kind of'.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

So're JW's posts but oh well P

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

(and that most of my jokes revolve around wilful misreadings of people's posts - but that is not really a stylistic issue).

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

effusive dry british wit, dude! didn't jess get on the excelsior thread for pointing it out?

― manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Yet, I am uncertain. For perhaps he already knows this, as most do.

― the bellefox, Monday, 13 September 2004 15:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you the Pinefox?

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you a bloody river?

DO U HAVE A POO FLANGE LIKE ME GRA

― GARU G, Monday, 13 September 2004 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, none of the things I pointed out were stylistic either. (xxxpost)

― youn, Monday, 13 September 2004 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Fuck this thread.

OK MY HOMES DOG

I like Blount's multiple parentheticals.

I thought that was only posted there for my dry, British response. Alas!

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not that big of a fan of *indicating action enclosed in asterisks* -- I think it's mostly Ned and Dee that do this -- but that's just me.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, does Custos do that, too? Doesn't it seem like he should?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not sure what the style is. But it's recognizeable.

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

― GARU G, Monday, 13 September 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Alba is like an internet detective.

Heh, Dan.

I like adam's stylistic quirk of posting total randomness in the middle of threads.

"Oh I hope not"

< / Bill Dana >

i wouldn't have noticed the letters were different if i hadn't read that. i rarely read T.O.R.A. or Tapped, though I probably should check them more

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

"owned" and "pwned" are both great!! "PwNz()r3D" is probably even better, but takes too long to type.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 16 September 2004 06:58 (twenty-one years ago)

A friend just responded to an e-mail I wrote her: "you use too many !!!!"

I realized that I do probably use exclamations more than I used to, and I think it's because of Adam and S1ocki!!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 16 September 2004 20:02 (twenty-one years ago)

(There's something charming about the eager enthusiasm that a well-placed exclamation conveys.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 16 September 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I do this, perhaps too much - : /

I misused it.

is instapundit not left leaning? I was going to throw in a really un-gabbnebb site purposely but forgot.

three weeks pass...

I kind of like how when Alex in NYC finds something funny, he doesn't copy it and paste it into the Excelsior LOL thread, he just posts "Hahahahahaha." It's classy and elegant.

I just noticed that s1ocki and mark p just performed this same trick. It's always pleasing to see a "hahaha," even if you're not the one being congratulated.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 11 October 2004 02:52 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 11 October 2004 02:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Exclamations are nice, too.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 11 October 2004 02:56 (twenty-one years ago)

the nordicskilla in manila does it sometimes too, i've noticed. i like how alex always ends his with a period, though.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 11 October 2004 02:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 11 October 2004 02:56 (twenty-one years ago)

well that's settled then.

don't miss next sunday night, when we discuss the idiosyncracies of dj martian's line breaks!

Who else has odd line breaks? I want to say Nowell and t\'\'t.

One of the biggest injustices in the world, is the way that Ratchet and Ironhide have never had new toys made where they actually look like they do in the cartoons. It's something that's always annoyed me.
