I was thinking back today about my very first lounge post in August 1981.
I remember making a snarky comment about the TV show "Joanie Loves Chachi".

Well at that time, the whole lounge LOVED that show, so my thread turned into a flame war, and it eventually got locked.

It's nice sometimes to remember the good old days.

1. My dear philboy!
Ahem...

That's a great story, sweetie...

There's only one LITTLE problem!

There was no DU, much less a Lounge, back in 1981!

:P

10. I remember when DS1 posted this Woodstock youtube link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkiblfJG75U

It created quite a stir here in the Lounge. Three people were banned, four were put on suspension, and one just disappeared. Good times, though.

4. I remember coming here to discuss FDR's Fireside Chats...
Those were the days... Even though someone would always go and ruin it for the West Coasters by posting spoilers. :-(

8. if you thought primary wars 2008 were bad
you shoulda been here for the election of 1864. Damn, the Lincolnites and McClellanites were insane. They never shut up!

"Lincoln doesn't know what he's doing!" McClellan is in bed with the Rebs!"

11. We had no electricity, so we had to DU the Lounge by firelight.
Sometimes Dad would let us have the joystick.

13. Heck, that's nothing. You should have seen how many people were here when
the Civil War broke out. That was the flame war that inspired General Sherman1!!!(eleven)!
