to those shocked (shocked!) at the state of the GDs these days:

:rofl:

Jesus, people, buck up. There's a long way to go, and there are real issues at stake. Sit down, have some dip, learn to love the flames. At least someone gives a shit.

You've gone over the edge.

:crazy:

:D Well played.

weren't survivors of the 2004 primaries on DU. Boy, did I learn a lot!

:hi:

:hi: I just saw that movie The Shooter..wow! That was good..kinda current with the corrupt politics in the US and all. I know a lot of people are seeing that flick, too.

:rofl:

I want to invent The Pisser, but what would it do? Completing and interrupting electrical circuits seems like a bad idea...

Oh, well. :shrug:

Visions of Ralph Macchio (sp?) with bedwetting issues, but otherwise I got nothing. :D

that response is hysterical

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Either people have damn short memories or else they weren't here four years ago. It's gonna be a wild ride, folks, and it's just beginning!!!

On edit: The end is near!!! Time for purges!!!!

Jeez.

:hi: uly.

:D :hi:, greataunt!

We are long-timers around here, we can take it.

That we are. :loveya:

And it's true...lots of people are giving shit.

Oh wait,"a" shit...sorry,my bad. :P

Have I mentioned how glad I am that you're back?

:)

:silly:

...or something else. They are lonely.

Yeah, the little groups are often great places. Me, I've always been a GD baby, but I do like my vacation spots.

...That for one day a year (I dunno, all saint's day, who cares?) Skinner should just shut down GD and GDP, leave LBN up but heavily moderated, and force everyone to use the other groups -- a sort of "focus group" day.

try the Lounge.

Besides Redstone and a few others, there is no one there that I would trust in a public environment.

Maybe I am just not smart enough for the Lounge.

;-)

that place is looking like a pack of nobel laureates compared to the impaired state of GD these days..

... back.

let's fight!! :mad: :mad:

I just have no interest in it.

For I can have all the wacky conversation that I want with real, live people every day in my gallery.

and its a lot more civil then GD...

You always sensible..


p.s. corks on forks..

EDIT: Must be losing my touch. lol!

You are being far too human these days. When I started to agree with you, I realized that was a big red flag and immediately began the distrust!

:rofl:

Ooops... that sounded really... baaaaaaaad... I meant in a cyber way... ouch! Not much better... I give up!


:rofl:

Just don't alert on me the first time I say fuck you!

:rofl:

I'm sure the time will come:)

You can take care of yourself, no question.

for real though. Two comments in GD and you've started a fight or an ignore war. Lounge gives me a speck of hope in fellow Democrats

:rofl:

:rofl:

~Proud Member of The Weird Undead Lounge Brigade~

:rofl:

*--Another Proud Member of The Weird Undead Lounge Brigade--*

:hi:

I have the t-shirt to prove it.

I knew being Weird and Undead would come in handy one day.

Hey- I want one of those T-shirts, too.
;-)

Good luck with the doctor's visit, today.

:pals: :hi:

I am taking my Mother to her Dr. across town in the Medical Center.

Talk about going to hell, the traffic and trying to find a place to park.

I will have to leave at noon just to make sure I find a place to park and she won't see her Dr. until 3.

This place is so big, it is hard to find where you are going.

I will be dead and weird by the time I get back.

I rather stay home and play in Lounge.:hug: :hug:

check back with us later today.

I don't envy you- Good luck, today.

:hug:

And they should serve drinks with funny straws and umbrellas, served on hot pink napkins!

Or so I'm told.

I've seen more of human life in one lounge thread than in a whole page of GD.

Can't speak for galleries in Tiburon, though.

"no one there that I would trust in a public environment."

:rofl:

:hi:

Isn't that Lounge Speak?

Fork etiquette.

The way these rabid anti-any democratic candidate that isn't mine posters here in GD/GDP act I wouldn't trust them within an inch of my life

:D

COWBELLS and LOUNGERS rock!!!!



lost

:D

yellow...maaaaaaybe..

:D

Mao...

Remember that?

Damn, I wish that had gone physical...

We could have made the News.

And maybe have drawn Carlyle mainstream.

And I guarantee you I would have persevered.

I never lose.

Hell, I wish that I had have had the energy to have kicked his ass up between his shoulder-bades (scapulae).

But I was just too tired.

What in the world are you talking about? :rofl:

and people who don't have to resort to little cartoon characters to express their opinions and ( oh, I am just too loaded to think of what I want to say) {seriously - we will take this up some other time for it is first cut of Humboldt Blue}.

Hold it in as long as you can.

Tom

And I probably would not want to be out in public with you either. Nor do I need any cartoon characters to express my opinion, though the fact that you express yourself quite like a cartoon character made it rather apt.

I find it pretty absurd that a member of a progressive message board feels the need to essentially dismiss the opinions of a group of fellow members simply because they choose to spend part of their time in a friendly and fun environment provided by the administrators of that board.

Furthermore, I think it's even more absurd to make snap judgements about that group of people, their honesty or reliability, based on same.

You don't know me, I don't know you. But it's the kind of dismissive, elitish, holier-than-thou attitude that you show that drives me to relax in the Lounge. What I do in the Real World as far as furthering the progressive cause, you don't know.

But I'll tell you something - it's a little more substantial than childishly vandalising people's briefcases.

Maybe you have been too busy gazing at the sky.

Carlyle is a bad deal.

The enemy.

I have a lot of experience with that side of the bargain.


Just to let you know.

And that was no "snap judgement" (the Lounge remark).

I have spent a few years checking out that inanity.

And I am somewhat sorry if I have offended you.

My suggestion is that you grow another layer of skin.

"The progressive cause"?

What have you done lately?

I did an interview on SF teevee that has kept me off of every scheduled flight for the last six months (and I am the most decorated enlisted man in USNaval history ).

And just what have you done, lately?

I am out there, every day.

Working for Change.

Working for Peace.

Every day.

You?

Are you just chatting your stuff, waiting to say Good Night to BillySkank?

Tom

:mad: :nuke: x( :-( ;( :evilfrown: :eyes: :wtf: :grr:

And your calling us weird? Oooooooooooooooooooook there sparkey...

And you need to get a life.

For I am a fighter, I do not give in.

Never.

The Revolution will not be televised.

And you, evidently, have tracked me better than have the Freepers.

What would you have done?

Stood still?

I certainly hope not.

For I am a fighter, not some side-line commentator.

Hung around?

Introduced yourself?

Asked him maybe who you should give money to?

You know, that is when I first realized that DU was full of talkers and not doers (as in those that really act and not just bullshit).

I have no room for chickenshits.

Because I am ready to fight, not just proselytize.

Tom

lol

:)

things are going swimmingly in Iraq, kids don't need health care and Bush is a brilliant leader...

Keep the faith, walldude. :)

I have just become a little more snarky and a little more bullet proof.

:)

Hang on, though. ;-)

:loveya:

:loveya: right back - you're one of my faves, so you don't get to leave. I've lost too many faves here.

lol

:thumbsup:

that baby gets cuter every day!

30 lbs weighs a lot more when it squirms. :wow:

You must be larger than your offspring, at least to begin with.

hmmmmmmmmchipsnaddip.

;-) Hey, how's your wife doing?

Your making me hungry.

And in 2003-04, they might have wished they hadn't! :hide:

:hi: How's that grandbaby?

Gina went and picked him up Saturday morning... after they came back here, I stumbled out of bed and headed downstairs. He saw me from the kitchen and just ran towards me with the BIGGEST smile - which melted my little Zomby heart. :D

How's that happy son of yours? :hi:

When I get home now, I get "Daddy!" as he runs up to me. I pick him up, thinking every time that I might get a big, "thank god you're home" hug, but the hug is usually cut short now by the demand, "Play cars!" It starts early. :D

Christ on a crutch, he turns two next month...

Things may cool down here a bit. Then again, they may not.

The heat will continue to intensify. As Pitt might say were he here, bank it.

but it is going to get a LOT worse as you know. Last primary I thought a couple of times I was going to stroke out. Not this time, I am staying out of a whole lot of that. Sometimes I try to look at the candidate battles but it does not take long before I close it up. This is a slap fest, wait until the fists come out!

:hi:

I'm trying to stay away from a lot of the candidate infighting, primarily because I don't have the time any more. In a way, I miss the old dust-ups, though. Red in tooth and claw.

a slap fest! Indeed!

:loveya: :hi:

I could copy-paste posts from 02 and 04 and no one would be the wiser. That'd be sneakier than refilling Aquafina from the tap, but it'd at least take the trouble of typing out of the same old crapfests.

but I lost the link when my hard drive when down in January.

But search is disabled. Just as well, I guess. Spelunking for my posts in the Jiacinto Maelstrom would probably be just as annoying as writing up fresh dyspepsia.

.

Two words for you, Rev - Emperor Buddha. :D

How the fuck are you?

and you?

onto your body again. :D

We're doing well here. You still in LA?

hope things are all going well with you.

Yeah, I'm still here, west of the city now though.

Old Timers UNITE!!!!

why? do you hate? i mean, 7 years of utter BS and our gummit flounders about like morans without the stones to depose these criminals... one has to ask why?

:hi::evilgrin::hi:

GD is GD...

:loveya:

:hug:

:loveya: right back, dear one!

that'll be even more fun!

:bounce:

*sigh* :)

chips and dip sounds good. :)

point taken. we've only just begun. :hi:

:eyes: :hi: How are things, bmama?

things are good. how is you? :D

Fine here. Thinking about Nina Hartley now, but fine. :D

I love ignoring them without opening them.

We'll all have s'mores!

Not me. It's always been like this. I've learned not to get worked up about it.

Just remember, the mud in this one has hardened into a brick, so no throwing...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=562048

We'll live--and I think we may need to get this out of our systems anyway!

Love or Hate is not Hate and Love it is APATHY.

The absence of emotion is worse than the flames, the fights, the feuds, and all that stuff.

We need the fire. We need the emotion. Maybe somehow we will start to channel it constructively before it consumes us. Either way I'd rather have the uproar than APATHY!
