dear experts,

why, when you look at most read threads, has there sometimes been a big reading stampede on a thread that isn't in new answers? there's times on ilx when about 22 people have in the same hour read an old thread that hasn't been updated in months. is it because the random thread feature isn't completely random? or what?
thanking you in advance.

dear estela,

i figured it out. i think it happens when an old thread is linked on a new thread, so a bunch of people look at the old thread but don't add anything to it.

an example: i was just finally catching up on the ile thread 2008 USGE RESULTS THREAD PS GOP U LOST DIXVILLE NOTCH LOL, and saw that our friend eman linked to an old thread on election afternoon, and probably tons of people looked at it but no one posted there, so that's it, right?!

<3, lxy, detective-in-training

ps eman was hilarious and awesome in that thread

^that is my expert opinion

i also think it has to do with googlers, which is why the can i have some simpsons porn thread on ire is always one of the top 50 most threads. which is also really creepy and weird, if true.

nothing creepy about a millhouse boner, cmon

uhh

dear lxy,

i bet that's it, i think maybe you are a genius and i thank you for curing my puzzlement.

experts,

what constituted phase one?

Hi Jergins--

Being nice is always worth it.

Thanks,

Hey Jelky:

Phase One consisted of:

• Restructuring
• Budget cuts
• Re-evaluation of goals

Best,
Experts

who will dance on the floor in the round?

why do i never feel like going out anymore?

i remember when that happened, i thought it was temporary, but it wasn't. now i revel in not going out. though we did go out on saturday with some of our neighbours and the evening ended on this note:

'goodnight estela' (kiss on each cheek) 'thank you for saying penis, i liked it' (extra kiss on the snap frozen tundra of my cheek).

(it's true i said penis but it was 3 hours earlier and i employed a brisk practical tone.)

since then f. and i have started thanking each other for saying things, and saying we liked it.

thanks for writing penis

what a week.

Hey Lxy!

As it turns out, your question was answered before, by experts far more expert than your humble sandbox servant(s):

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081004070137AA5jU7o

Hope that helps! :)

With love and respect,

Jergins--

There are a lot of reasons you don't feel like going out anymore, for example, your age, and your growing dislike of Seattle, and the people you run into, and barely-conscious anxiety about the above.

Does that answer your question?

Keep up the great work,

even a stopped clock is right twice a day

sexy clock

unless it's on military time.

camo clock's hot!

but how does it compare to hello kitty clock!?

What's the opposite of a cockblock?

clam slam

pussy control.

for the record to show i'm a good liberal it was an affirmative action clam slam, trying to help the indian guy get into some blonde russian babushka

a benetton barter?

when lxy's away is this board more or less gay?

please see my response on this other thread

is it weird or ok for a stranger on the street to say bless you after you sneeze?

i think it's okay. who did you bless?

it depends upon the tone and demeanor of the blesser and also whether or not the sneezer feels at ease in this world.

thank you experts
