Pleased to meet you.

But they don't know who i am either.

You take great pictures too and spend most of your time over on facebook now, I think.

And thank you to whomever gave me a heart

I like to sneak a little funny in here and there.
been around about 6 years or so I think.
Getting older everyday, though. Can't wait for Medicare. Hope I make it that long.

I have health coverage in MA. Been using it a lot lately. I guess I'm a relic, like Madonna.

Where's your brother, Dude Wait Wut?

OK . . . here's the lowdown.

CaliforniaPeggy is a poet and takes great pictures
denbot surfs and is married to Ali
taterguy is a cynical dumbass, but we love him
LynneSin pays tolls and posts DU lounge rules for us to try to follow
Amerigo Vespucci designs websites for restaurants and posts funny pics about MFM
MFM posts funny pics about everybody and was very sick a while back
HopeHoops is a sex maniac and has no shame, which we appreciate
Tuesday Afternoon is just getting used to DU3, but she is posting here now
trof refers to himself as an old guy, but I know he has been to Hooters

Will someone else help on this? My memory is crap.

So, that's like, 20 out of how many here?

It does seem as though the lounge has changed. You were gone for a while and maybe you missed it I was gone for a while too. But they are all a bunch of liberals and drunks, you can count on that

I know NO ONE in GD. They are, however, experts.

I read in GD, as I've said before, some of those guys are trying to re-live their glory days on the debate team. So mostly, I just read.

They just have me convinced that I know nothing, therefore, they are experts on everything.

I ignore them, or thank them kindly and move on. When you argue over the Internet, even if you win, you are still an idiot. Oldie, but goody.

I leave.

The first 5 years or so I thought you all were just the voices in my head.

Or maybe I do . . .

Maybe you've seen me around, maybe not.

DU humor.

I have no clue who you are.

But anyhow!

Nice to meet you. I'm new here. I need a do-over and a fresh start.

You get a heart

You should be in a museum!

However, it is a close approximation. Replace the cats with cockatiels and a large steaming coffee mug and that's me until o/a 9am. After 9 it's 'tiels, coffee and sweats.

I have hobbies, but they bore me. So I joined DU.

At least according to some folks in this thread

Point them out to me so I can spank them.

I could've called you the beer bike dude, or the guy who had us watch an eight minute video of an old guy in his kitchen, in order to understand where his moniker came from. But I thought I would keep it simple

I hate it when I miss a rule change.

They should at least show up for the love. You will have to talk to LynneSin about the rules, I don't have any say in that.

I live in Delaware. I have a cat and two dogs---which I like to post pictures of, 2 kids and a hubby. I post in GD, The Lounge, TV Chat, Cooking and Baking, H&M, and here and there. I'll be here 2 years tomorrow....and hit 5,000 posts, but didn't realize it till just now.

The Poultry in Bondage exhibit at MOMA?

But you can call be Mr i2. I'm s short, fat, bald, obnoxious sextegenerian with bad skin, poor personal hygiene, halitosis and terminal flatulence. In short, I'm an attractive guy. Pleased to meetcha!

that was you on the bus yesterday? we'll save a seat for you tomorrow then

Nothing particularly remarkable about me - just another guy who, against all odds, miraculously survived his youth.

You are the "thread that never dies" dude. Um, I think dude. Shit, I don't even know that for sure, and I'm too lazy to check.

Actually, I don't know you. I think it is more fun to not know all these people here, except for the personality that comes through in their posts. Me, I am not nearly as nasty and cantankerous as my name may imply. Or maybe I am.

fuck me sideways, don't you!

plausible deniability ...

Of course, most of my family might not admit they know me, either ...

behind. Plus I've been burned badly in my life where strangers are concerned.

just started posting a few months ago. So far, it doesn't appear that I have offended anyone enough to be put on ignore but then I haven't amazed anyone enough to actually strike up a friendship. So, I guess you could say, I'm just part of the wallpaper.

I have been here five years and haven't amazed or offended any one enough either. I'm considering forming a group called the Wall.
So for all of you who wax about 'if only the walls could talk' you have been for warned. As soon as we are organized we plan on being very chatty.



edited to add: Hi Gray, in a side door kinda way.

Now you want to get all chummy.

No, not YOUR right, MY right.

By the spitorium.

No?

Wanna test the theory?

I've been here for 10 years, too.

Hope you guess my name.

Is the nature of my game.

was kind of happy, now I'm mad but not as mad as I was.

No wait....I'm mostly bored.

I come and go, you know how it is.

You know, always available, loves our jokes, defends us against the meanies, likes dogs and cats, loves long walks on the beach...

Loves ducks. Loves duct tape.

at least not in the Biblical sense. But don't give up. There's still time.

Mainly I just hang around until I stop being afraid and then I post something. Sometimes my posts make sense, but more often than not they don't. Now it's time for me to go back in hiding.

(I do, by the way, miss the duck.)

But the enigma's closing in a few minutes. What say we grab a cab and go over to the conundrum?

That's a good one. You're my new idol.

nice to meet ya, but I have a question. Were you looking to 'know' everyone here in a 'Biblical' sense?

Here is my picture if you can stand it:

I was the founding member of the now defunct:

my favorite sword (given to me by my parents)

and I was an expert at shocking the earth:

But by the fate of the gods I'm still here.

Other than that no clue who I ams!

You really know how to push the envelope with finesse! Plus, you scare the fuck out of me.

which is why my count is high for the number of ignore lists I am on.

I'm really trying to tone it down a bit.

And really, I'm about as harmful as these kittens in a basket of yarn

Someone just added me to their ignore list. Now I have 3. I'm cathcing up to you!

You really sure? Cause you seem to know most of them so far...

I doubt you know me. I'm not always entirely sure I know me, and Im usually pretty self aware. Or was that self conscious. Anyway, hi. I cant quite tell if you were just being polite, or if you were inviting me over.

But when I go over to GD, I know no one.

You are conflating here and there. Not the same at all. That's like saying "I've lived here in Boston for almost 10 years, and I never recognize anyone when I go to new York city".

Granted they are both part of the uber-city that google earth shows to clearly dominate 600 miles of the east coast. But they have different sports teams and everything, and I doubt most of the residents of either would care to be told that they all live in one huge city, as far as anyone in the rest of the country is concerned.

So don't you go conflating the lounge with du. They might declare war and launch a retaliatory strike!!

I stay pretty much low key. I do remember when you were in Florida. Towards the end of your stay you pretty much hated everything and everyone there....equally. Man oh man you had some pretty good rants about that state. Highway61
