I'm new here.. Should I be afraid?
Can someone please explain this lounge place to me? Is this Area 51? An alternate dimension? A Secret Society? :scared:

48. Can I help? The Lounge hasn't scared me since 2003!
Except, occasionally, Zombie and the yaks.

Oh, yeah, and I thought Oscar was at my house one night. I could smell burning plutonium....

Welcome to the Lounge FDR et al...........

All you have to fear is fear itself.

And Skittles, of course.

17. FDRJFKMLKRFKBHO11408:
You punch in at 8:30 every morning, except you punch in at 7:30 following a business holiday, unless it's a Monday, then you punch in at 8 o'clock. Punch in late and they dock you. Incoming articles get a voucher, outgoing articles provide a voucher. Move any article without a voucher and they dock you. Letter size a green voucher, oversize a yellow voucher, parcel size a maroon voucher. Wrong color voucher and they dock you! FDRJFKMLKRFKBHO11408. That is your employee number. It will not be repeated! Without your employee number you cannot get your paycheck. Inter-office mail is code 37, intra-office mail 37-3, outside mail is 3-37. Code it wrong and they dock you! This has been your orientation. Is there anything you do not understand, is there anything you understand only partially? If you have not been fully oriented, you must file a complaint with personnel. File a faulty complaint and they dock you!

Edited on Sat Nov-08-08 01:56 AM by Jamastiene
er, I mean, patients, were walking free all around you, and you noticed that they had already eaten most of the padding off the walls and they were now actively sniffing the glue for shits and giggles?

If not, then you'll do juuuuuuuust fine here. :hi:

If so, you might want to pinch yourself so you can wake up and run away, screaming, for the sake of your sanity. :evilgrin:

Welcome to the DU Lounge, the place where no serious question gets a serious answer, EVER, and no un-serious question goes unanswered. We are the home of cat pictures threads, random cooking related flame wars (If you know what's good for you, you won't mention corn flakes here EVER), streakers, Oscar, baseball, football, punk rockers, vegans, meat eaters, lolcats, violent forklifter training videos, kudzu, word association threads, boxed wine, parents who don't let ANYONE shit on their kids, parents who get kicked out of a school for trying to feed hungry children, Haruka3_2000 (special :woohoo: for her reanimation and return from the grave :headbang: ), poetry galore, and smileys that include a perfect picture of me. See? -----> :evilgrin:

35. Welcome to the Lounge, Lizard!
; )
I just got cross-eyed at your name til cwydro said s/he figured it out so then I looked again.

I come here to voyeurize and see what people really think about when no one's lookin'

I don't know if voyeurize is a word but you can make up any word here and people automatically know what it means.

I'm series!!!

I don't know if I spelled voyeurize right but would be very surprised if I did.

It is ilegal to spell "moran" correctly here.

People don't care if you kin spull, but watch yer CAPS LOK KEEE!!!

40. Depends.
Do you like eating at Olive Garden?

How do you make fried chicken?

What are your feelings on pit bulls? Breast feeding? SUVs? Hummers (the automotive kind)?

Do you prefer cats or dogs?

Do you know what a pev is? A moran?

Do you ever break into song when eating ethnic food?

I am sure others could add to the question list.:P

Yeah, no matter how many times you rewind and listen to the lines again, even with your eyes closed and the sound all the way up, you still have to turn on the subtitles to figure it out. And then it's something stupidly minor, has nothing to do with the furthering of the plot or is some local colloquialism that only the locals would get anyway!
