Come to us when you need to. We'll patch you up, feed and hydrate you, and gently send you back in. :(

At this rate, the lounge will need to build a memorial wall for our fallen moderators. :cry:

95. LOL...you know it's bad when one longs for the I/P Forum.
I posted a bit in GD-P yesterday when things broke, figured I was too hot, and took the day off. Watched a couple movies (3:10 To Yuma and Syriana) and read a book.

To quote Wilford Brimley from The Thing, "Look, I feel much better now and I'm not going to hurt anybody."

15. I pity all the GD-P mods today
Critical mass has finally been achieved: the forum went newkular.

Thanks for your service. :) It actually is appreciated. And I want you to know - I've refrained many times from adding to your troubles lately. I start to hit the post button and realize that some poor mod will only have to come clean up the mess.

Some raving stupidity on both sides. I'd suggest Thorazine for the entire bunch, but I think the mods would confiscate it for their own use at this point.

I figured you needed the comic relief badly.
I respect the mods who patrol the cess pool that is GDP, especially on days like this.

112. Everclear is the BOMB!
I use it for cleaning my printers. It leaves the heads so sanitary and squared away the Virgin Mary would be proud to go in there and take a dump. Private Solon, do you believe in the Virgin Mary?

Actually, it really is good for cleaning printers--just as good as cyclohexanone but far less damaging to the operator. You can't drink either one of them, though.

68. Cop In a Doughnut Shop, Sir
Once, eating in a Mexican restaurant down the block, there was a cop sitting to his free dinner in the next booth, and all of a sudden his radio came up loud announcing someone under arrest in the district station had produced a sawed-off shot-gun from somewhere on his person and was now loose on the city. We both said "Somebody really fucked up" at the same moment, and the guy stood up and headed out to his squad car....

83. Let the ruling classes tremble at a guitarist revolution.
They'd better, because sometimes these days we don't seem to have much else. :)

105. Tom Lehrer's "That Was The Year That Was"
Edited on Sat May-24-08 07:08 PM by Unvanguard
constituted the sum total of my music listening at one point very early in my youth.

I think it corrupted me.

Edit: To be perfectly honest, I don't think I had ever heard a "folk song of protest" before hearing "Folk Song Army." (Excepting "This Land Is Your Land", which I didn't recognize as such until much later.)

108. My Corruption Occured Earlier, Sir, Though From The Same Fountain
The early albums were around, new, when I was growing up, and committed to memory much earlier than was probably healthly....

"But enough of Lehrer the musician: what of Leher the man, bon vivant, man about town, renowned on seven continents, not to mention the Isle of Madagascar, where ten million gibbering natives hail him as a God?"

77. I have not gone into that forum.
I know who I support. I have no desire to run down other candidate(s), and no one is going to change my mind about the one I have chosen, so there's no reason to elevate my blood pressure.

I took this picture one year ago today, next door in my mother's yard.

OK, break's over. Get back in there and tombstone somebody.

92. I sort of treat the place like McDonald's
You know you don't HAVE to do in there. When you do, you know that
if you partake, it won't be good for you. Sometimes you do it anyway,
and sure enough, it wasn't good for you.

The temptation sometimes gets the better of you, and either you get
addicted, or it just gets easier and easier to pass it by.

As one who was put on dietary restrictions (for real) to save my life,
I already had the necessary will-power training. I'll sometimes post a
reply or two, and then ignore the angry ripostes. With McD, you sometimes
see obese people going in and out of there and wonder why they do it to
themselves. With GDP, it's not obesity, it's anger, and you wonder why
these people are so hostile--I've met hard line Republicans that weren't
that bad. Mistreated as children? Can't seem to find a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Car had 2 flats that morning? Milk bought just yesterday was already bad? Like
Gilda Radner's Roseanne Rosannadanna used to say, "it's always something."

I'd divide up the refrain of Joe Dolce's old song into 3 DU parts:

GD: Itsa not so bad

Lounge: Itsa nicea place

GDP: Ah, shutuppa you face

102. Indeed. We say it differently on this side of the pond:
Here, it's "Jedem das Seine," and down to our immediate southwest, "Chacun à son goût,"

Which, come to think of it, is sort of loosely translated German and French for
"Some stick their hands in fans for fun."

114. At the top of my GD-P Wish List:
Edited on Sun May-25-08 08:14 PM by Amerigo Vespucci
All caps-lock threads get re-directed to a special "caps lock" forum, also known as "assholes who post threads with caps lock on"

The biggest disappointment here is that we constantly rail against our "red state opposite" Web Site...F.R....and yet we display an equal or greater level of childish, inappropriate, clueless behavior right here.

It's the Web..."the Internets"...so it's open to anyone who can type.

DU is not a "gated community."

Assholes can get in, and can stay until they are tombstoned.

That doesn't mean that the articulate, intelligent, passionate people here are left out in the cold.

It just means DU needs moderators.
