Favorite Moments From DU This Year

So the year's almost over and as a typical DU member, I'm inclined to categorize everything that's happened and give it a ranking.

Listing all things I find lulzy, what was your favorite DU event of the year? If you don't see your favorite, feel free to list it.

This is Audio Al speaking! Stop making fun of my wife, she's a kind loving person and doesn't deserve this abuse! I will report you to the authorities!

Alerting!

I'm sick like that.

It was wicked fun

:rofl:

You are being discourteous and I'm alerting the mods on you

By an unregulated DUer.

I'm off to review Bolt. Be back later.

Short, snarky, to the point.


I give it five thumbs up.


:thumbsup:

:cry:



Godspeed, Frequency_Gal!

Wait. No I don't

I think you just ruined me.

If you've been missing her, I know of a place where you can catch up.

and found this:

Oh, man. I owe you big time.

I love how the anonymous people show up ripping on this Frank guy for about a week, then she comes back saying she was on vacation.


The woman has lost it.

A classic!

I needed that. :bounce:

:rofl: :spray:

:wow:

:rofl:

Okay, now I gotta look.

Or some intense psychotherapy after reading things that will serve as basis of many nightmares for years to come.

:eyes:

:rofl:

What a nutbag.

Including sending me nasty PMs full of references to what I wrote here -- LONG AFTER SHE WAS TSED HERE?????!!!!????? Then, she started hounding Haruka in threads, and when Haruka responded, HARUKA was deleted. The Mods there wouldn't do anything because she was just a "confused old lady." We both left the site.

The crazy is strong in that one.

Oh! She also called Retrolounge a "homosexual male" in a thread there. hahahahhaha

Thanks for sharing that! :rofl:

She should have kept him on a shorter leash.

Being http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5926709">verbally lynched.

Over 500 responses before the lock. Wow.

"... continuous legal investigation..."

Better than the Asian woodcarver incident. :rofl:

:spray:

:rofl:

:rofl:

about all that? Somehow I missed it. What happened with her?

I was in Hawaii for a month or so and I'm thinking I must have missed all the goods.

Oh yeah, and I'm going to buy some tamales as well. :eyes:

Yeah, that was one of the best moments of the year.

¡Viva la shtetl!

I must have missed that one after going on forced ignore. Which I can't remove even after she's gone.

Hooray! Tamales! We went to a yard sale and a lovely woman made them from scratch!

Edited on Sun Jul-27-08 07:30 PM by Radio_Lady
Her whole family was outside, assisting with the sale. We gave them $10 for kids' clothes and dollies and $2 for two tamales.

Then, in my rather loud and and non-fluent (!) Spanish, I broke out in song:

"Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones."

Everybody applauded when I finished! Wow!

I'm going to try and learn the other lyrics, found on the Internet.

People are wonderful.

Thanks for reading this.

Radio Lady Ellen

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

De la sierra, morena
cielito lindo vienen bajando
un par de ojitos negros
cielito lindo de contrabando

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo
junto a la boca, no se lo des a nadie
cielito lindo que a mi me toca

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

By an Asian woodcarver. Man, that was like watching a really, really bad accident in slow motion.

:(

This I've gotta see. I wasn't aware of this because I'd had her on Ignore ever since I read her proud account of only eating sandwiches during her tour of Europe. There's some folks that, if they don't know, you can't tell 'em...

anyone got a link?

What always happens when someone is Rick Rolled?

but being this was worthy of being mentioned a month after the fact, it must've been legendary or something

The whole night everyone was posting like chickens with their heads off.

"OMFG Virginia FUCKING SUX!!!!!111"

"This election is going to be the tightest one yet because it was stolen"

"It wouldn't be this way if we nominated Hillary"


All kinds of lulzy fun.

was working till polls closed on a congressional campaign, didn't make it home from the parties till after midnight. I figured DU would make a lunatic asylum seem perfectly normal.

Like the always-classic, "Keep that shit in the Lounge ..." (as if they were doing something IMPORTANT in GDP ...).

:rofl:

Bake

It's the verbal equivalent of cavemen sitting in a circle and smashing each other over the head with large rocks.

Rick Astley...wants to be free! :cry:

All hail the undisputed Master of the Rick Roll!

I watched you do it in the Lounge first on election night and then someone hinted it'd be funny somewhere else... I figured a lewd reference to John McCain would yield maximum click throughs in a minimal amount of time.

I wussed out on doing it outside the friendly confines of the Lounge, basically.

One of the best Rick Rolls of the year, but the champ has to be:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL-hNMJvcyI

Stick with it...

I like how the first few replies actually helped the joke along, perpetuating the idea (intended or not) that it was the kind of thing that might actually appear in a GD: P post. As opposed to, say, a RickRoll.

(Seriously, people have to stop doing that breathless OMG WATCH THIS VIDEO crap.)

Jeebus.

I bet she donates to Olive Garden political events while sipping boxed-wine spritzers.

"a poor man's Ronald McDonald" :rofl:

:D

I still haven't voted. I'm afraid I'm going to think of something more favoriter later. :P

(all three) :patriot:

waiting for the movie to come out soon.

When that dude wrote that post about that thing.

Yeah, that time.

Good times.

When he has one, anyway...

:rofl:

Apparently, I'm not banned anymore. Hmmm...

:rofl:

:rofl:

Based on my bookmarks, though:

The ill-fated campaign of Lee Mercer, Jr
The Rise of Chuggo
The Fall of Raid-Dio-Lady
The Rise and Fall of Asher Heimermann
Don't Tutch the But
mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them
Most any thread invoking Chick tracts

Including Midlo's ringing endorsement of him.

Endless supply of lulz.

Was there ever one detailing aspects of UFOs? That would be grand.

But now that I'm reminded of it, I actually think your Chick Tract thread is the best one...:yourock:

Correction noted.

He's only a terrorist in my mind, I guess.

Too late to edit.

Well, we all know what it is.

Something like "mainly because half the people I was with believed it at the time" or something.

And I think they accidentally started this as an OP in GDP, of all places! Poor thing...

:rofl:

Classic, and pure genius! :rofl:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=7948698

I'm so thankful for this thread... so I can catch up on all the funny I missed. :D

Indeed genius.

:rofl:

I must have been on hiatus.

seriously my vote goes there!

I miss her so.

:eyes:

Asher is zozoschild.

... I think.

God, they're funny. And fun as hell to rail on.

But now I hardly ever get the laptop at home, so instead I'll say:

The Conference Call

Bush enacts Martial Law and the eventual cancellation of the elections.

O-k, sure-- I surf through the 9-11 forums a bit too much, but that was a particular strain that made it out of 9-11 and into both GD and GD: P for awhile.

(and I'd hazard a guess there's a itchy typing finer or two out there jumping at the chance to write, "but the ceremony won't be taking place for a month and half, there's still time y'know...")

That was some good screwin'

You get any pictures?

:evilgrin:

I could have sworn that was you in the corner.

;)

Next orgy, I'm in.

I get top!

I'm beating out Pots n Pans. Wow. I thought the PnP incident would be doing much better.

:rofl:

Bake

I'm so happy to see her back. :)

...Chuggo's got a motherfucking skull on a motherfucking stick!

I didn't know she had been TSed.

Seems to be egotistical to me.

I would never post all that personal info and pictures on the net.
