DU: Thanks for raising my... uh, SPIRITS. (Rated: R)

[nostamj]

Note: This post is not recommended for the satire-impaired.

From my inbox:

Dear nostamj,

(Btw, What DOES that SN mean?)

I hope you’ll pass this note along to your friends in DU’s General Discussions Forum. (Please DON’T post in The Meeting Room... All that astrology! Recipes! And I have yet to see a Mallard Fillmore cartoon in your endless CARTOONS! ‘editions.’)

But I digress.

DU gets me HOT. Deaners hate Kerryites hate Gephers hate Kucinichies and everybody hates Lieberman. I throb. Oh, my corporatist stars! The Dems will NEVER get their act together. Sweet.

I print out a Kerry/Dean flamewar and spread the pages on a stripped mattress in my... uh, ‘think tank.’ I anoint myself, liberally–(uh, extensively!) with Crisco. (Note to self: e-John re: new case/oil.)

DU gets me HOT. And I have SO much free time! And I do love my quality time with DU. To know the democRATs are in utter disarray... I can focus on distraction. I can put Pinnochio on whatever puppet stage I want.

Who needs viagra? I have the unedited tapes of GWBush on the aircraft carrier! When you guys let me ‘down,’ there’s always that.

Oh............ That was a flush(ed) moment! (Note to self: underwear/buy/now!)

DU, You’re the best!

Karl R.

P.S. A Green/Dem thread right now would be SO great. Thanks!

[LeftCoast]

17. The plastic pink flamingo of politicosexual satire!

LOL

:kick:

[nostamj]

18. wow!

'pink flamingo' ??? high praise. thanks!

[nostamj]

19. one last, pathetic kick

i really liked this.

if you don't, then get your e-butt over to the ?W galleries!

mopaul has posted some classics. our newest contributor, NRK, has some great work. Ivory_Tower is a genius and pastiche423 is the very heart of the ?W meme...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. Hahahahahahahaha!

Thanks so much for this thread! :thumbsup:

[nostamj]

21. appreciate the response!!

i really thought it would 'do better'

i sometimes feel like the court jester of DU (with the CARTOONS and all) but, people just don't seem much interested in even the occasional humorous diversion... <sigh>

it's ok. the catharsis is the writing.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

22. You know what I DO apologize!

I get sidetracked often by a particular thread and forget to visit those threads or post on them often enough!

I KNOW it is a drag because at least for the few days we had VIEWS, you could see that others saw your efforts.

Feel free to whack me upside the head or send a thread of yours to my inbox.

It is important for me to acknowledge DU'ers that regularly contribute to the "lightness of our beings" but if it falls off the page or out of where my radar is set, I forget about it.

I DO appreciate your comic threads.

[nostamj]

24. understand and thank again...

the 'pace' of GD was the main reason for moving CARTOONS! to the Meeting Room. it's not a 'discussion' thread so, based on replies, a sure sinker.

ah, the 'views' were nice while they lasted. I certainly could see that the cartoons were being viewed big time... and hell, I'm just an editor for those...

[blm]

25. Now I'm tearing up.

You just got one more bump from me.

[nostamj]

26. extending an e-hankie....

!

[FubarFly]

23. Oh, that was naughty.

I finally know what Donna B sees in Karl R

LOL!!

[prolesunited]

27. It took me a minute to realize

that somebody didn't really send you that. Must have been all that Republican Love on Guy James' show this afternoon. ;-)

I may not always post a reply, but I always read your stuff and look forward to the cartoon threads. Thanks for all that you do!
:toast:

Signed,
A fan :D

[nostamj]

28. right back at ya!

what would be the BEST URL to post for you on ?W ???

I was thinking about putting FWIW in the "Reader" gallery... but, if there's a better link for ALL your work....

[prolesunited]

29. That would be fine

You can get to all of them through the navigation menu at the top. Maybe one of these days I'll actually create a real Web page. Let me know when you do it so I can be sure to check it out. Thanks!

[nostamj]

30. i'll be doing an update today.

working on an announcement for a one-day ? action.

9/11/03: ONE DAY|ONE QUESTION

coming soon to the ?W homepage and a GD thread...
