One suspects it would be like the scene in "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead" where she walks into Keith Coogan's room, sees the pin-ups and black light pot leaf posters, and -pfffft- keels right over.

Two abandoned backpacks detonated by police, perp in custody.
UPDATE: Only one of the backpacks was abandoned by the perp, the other belonged to a news crew. Perp charged and given $100K bail and undergoing psych evaluation.

(20,600 posts)with a certain group of like-minded duers. They probably opened up this thread expecting to go to white hot anger mode level 10 at once! This had to be disappointing.

NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)About their thoughts when opening this thread. Yet your thoughts when opening this thread were about them. Mirror Mirror on the Wall. Do you have any opinions about the cover or just Duers? You went with one and not the other. It is a wonderful cover, you should look at it instead of obsess over duers.
quinnox
(20,600 posts)Anyway, I have no thoughts on this particular cover, except it is unusual to see on a magazine like Sports Illustrated.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)Ops like this are nice because it brings out these "like minded people" such as yourself.

(80,708 posts)Guess the truth is alert-worthy, now. I do have trouble understanding why posts listing the usernames of everyone who recs a particular thread should be ok on DU, but a post mentioning that behavior, wouldn't be.
