re: one concern: monetenegro are our 6th seed team. did they retain many good players when they split with serbia?

I think only 1 player was in the combined squad of S & M

That's like the county of Devon splitting from ENGLAND and asking if ENGLAND would miss any players

population of Montenegro 684,736

population of Devon 740,800

don't think DJ Martian is really country-specific in terms of funnies even if his chosen obsession is

What those threads really need is either to not exist or for people to not cut and paste every mildly humorous post they read into it

MPx4A, Monday, 30 June 2008 12:27 (seventeen years ago)

you are only supposed to c/p posts that literally make you laugh out loud

n/a, Monday, 30 June 2008 12:28 (seventeen years ago)

LITERALLY

n/a, Monday, 30 June 2008 12:28 (seventeen years ago)

funny

conrad, Monday, 30 June 2008 12:28 (seventeen years ago)

option 3 obviously correct even though I don't know who YOU is referring to.

ledge, Monday, 30 June 2008 12:31 (seventeen years ago)

I think people basically need to get over that urge to say "OMG BEST THING EVER" and create this hysterical Emperor's New Clothes cult around every funny Internet picture or grammatically awkward quote from a weird/insane dude, I mean we're all bored office workers but some of us manage to occupy ourselves in a constructive way, like starting 15+ "Your favourite jokes about" threads containing nothing puns and dogshit non-sequiturs

MPx4A, Monday, 30 June 2008 12:32 (seventeen years ago)

Ste, Monday, 30 June 2008 12:35 (seventeen years ago)

i agree with MPx4A. apart from the last bit.

n/a why are you even reading that world cup 2010 thread?

blueski, Monday, 30 June 2008 12:59 (seventeen years ago)

uh i'm not, i'm reading the excelsior thread

n/a, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:01 (seventeen years ago)

why though?

conrad, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:01 (seventeen years ago)

I don't even know if blueski is joking and I'm British.

Alba, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:01 (seventeen years ago)

The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:02 (seventeen years ago)

we already have "excelsior" and "final lolution"

Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:02 (seventeen years ago)

sorry i didn't know the pinefox had quoted martian on the excelsior thread, as he did the same thing on the wc10 thread

blueski, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:03 (seventeen years ago)

Someone needs to ban that dude to send a message out that C+P meta humour is discourage

The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:04 (seventeen years ago)

trayce is australian so this is kind of a moot point.

banriquit, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:04 (seventeen years ago)

time to start quoting all kinds of random mundane posts on excelsior i reckon

blueski, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:05 (seventeen years ago)

we already do this

HI DERE, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:08 (seventeen years ago)

lol the britishes and their soccerballs

King Boy Pato, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:09 (seventeen years ago)

i can't post on final lolution though, banned from noize board

n/a, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:11 (seventeen years ago)

won't somebody think about me?

n/a, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:11 (seventeen years ago)

DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME
DON'T DON'T DON'T
DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME

King Boy Pato, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:20 (seventeen years ago)

I preferred the version they did for the Scottish Milk Marketing Board advert:

DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT MILK
DRINK A PINT EVERY DAY
IT'S VERY GOOD FOR YOU

in a terrible sub-Jim Kerr voice. Some footballers were involved.

Dingbod Kesterson, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:22 (seventeen years ago)

what happened is that ilx got its eternal september a few years late, that's all

J0hn D., Monday, 30 June 2008 13:28 (seventeen years ago)

and here I was, just about to start a 'your favourite Captain Beefheart jokes" thread...

Mark G, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:43 (seventeen years ago)

I'd prefer it if you started one on "your favourite Sham 69 jokes."

DJP's original post by some distance the funniest thing on this thread so far.

Dingbod Kesterson, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:54 (seventeen years ago)

Or DJM, even.

People who don't get DJ Martian wouldn't get PG Wodehouse either.

Dingbod Kesterson, Monday, 30 June 2008 13:55 (seventeen years ago)

freudian slip! (xpost)

Mark G, Monday, 30 June 2008 14:00 (seventeen years ago)

dj wodehouse

s1ocki, Monday, 30 June 2008 14:08 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ILX System, Monday, 30 June 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

Why do I always get brought up in these discussions when I really dont post excelsiors all that often at all?

Trayce, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 00:53 (seventeen years ago)

Probably the same reason I'm the only person ever referenced when discussing the thought-police fascists that run this joint

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 00:56 (seventeen years ago)

that reason being LBZC, like most common criminals, are naturally lazy
abahahahahaha.

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 00:58 (seventeen years ago)

Everyone ilxor is bent on ruining ilx. Later they sober up.

Aimless, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:06 (seventeen years ago)

Trayce doesn't really excelsior that much guyz

Curt1s Stephens, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:11 (seventeen years ago)

love how this thread assumes everyone is either british or american

Autumn Almanac, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:16 (seventeen years ago)

everyone is, in their minds

n/a, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:17 (seventeen years ago)

AA, everyone knows there are just two kinds of people in the world: those who graciously accept their essential british or american identity, and those who don't.

Aimless, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:21 (seventeen years ago)

we need three excelsior threads

one for americans
one for british soccer LOLs
and one for trayce

(sorry i am taking the piss now)

homosexual II, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:28 (seventeen years ago)

Hahahah :)

Trayce, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:30 (seventeen years ago)

final lolution
a lol of our own

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:31 (seventeen years ago)

^^ second thread has Trayce seal of disapproval

Curt1s Stephens, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:35 (seventeen years ago)

everyone in the world acts like americans anyway so fair point

Autumn Almanac, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 01:46 (seventeen years ago)

Gah Crut dont remind me of my silly outburst on that one ;_;

Trayce, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 05:15 (seventeen years ago)

a british person would never have started this thread. that's all i'm saying yeah?

blueski, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 10:03 (seventeen years ago)

wait are you saying that US ILX has a rod up its ass about England

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ILX System, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

8 americans don't get british cultural references and don't want to learn

Autumn Almanac, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 23:06 (seventeen years ago)

What about all the others?

Alba, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 23:09 (seventeen years ago)

Wait I am totally confused by this poll.

Alba, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 23:10 (seventeen years ago)

Oh, it says ruining, not running.

Alba, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 23:10 (seventeen years ago)

why are the americans having difficulty understanding the joke?

thomp, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 12:19 (seventeen years ago)

should i have started a poll to understand that question? i don't really understand how things are done around here.
