OK. Next time there are overly-serious flamewars in the Lounge...

[Wat_Tyler]

shall we make a pact to bury them with nonsense?

[Misunderestimator]

1. I'm game. Good idea.

[Wat_Tyler]

3. We have to protect the sanctity of the Lounge, don't we?

[ProdigalJunkMail]

2. sure...that shouldn't be a problem in the Lounge

we could just copycat it to death...

4. Are you suggesting...

that we bury dissent simply because YOU don't like the message? How Rovian of you! This obviously anti-semitic attitude resembles nothing more than the hidden/pre-structured precepts of the deluded (and infantile) concepts of the Randian philosophy! And for you to suggest that combustion is the cause of this is RIDICULOUS!

(is this what you mean?)

[Wat_Tyler]

7. Yeah. That's what I mean. ;-)

This Lounge is for gossip, flirtation self-indulgence, pontification and foolery only!

[tigereye]

27. well usually anytime anyone tries to be serious

they get silliness and absurdity in reponse, so I guess that makes sense. It is always sort of funny when someone comes in here and starts ranting about how people can be talking about whatever... bands, people's sex organs, threesomes, what have you... when there is an election going on or when the world is in such trouble. People need to relax, they will live longer that way.

[WoodrowFan]

13. not bad

for an obvious TROLL>

[miss_kitty]

18. It sounded to me like Wat says we should laugh it outta here

like the united crews of the Enterprise and the Klingon ship did to the white swirly thing that was making them fight on TOS. Laughter killed it-or drove it away.

ARE YOU saying we should stifle OUR dissent against dissent because YOU don't like THAT message? :evilgrin:

[redqueen]

5. Great idea.

:thumbsup:

[WoodrowFan]

6. I always do

that's why I'm here/

[arwalden]

8. I LIke Paste! The Clouds Are All Whitey!

My shirt smells like a rainbow!

[Wat_Tyler]

11. That's the spirit, Allen!

[Misunderestimator]

14. Lesbian

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. Huh huh.

You said "lesbian."

[Texasgal]

24. heh heh....

she said "lesbian"

[eyesroll]

9. I shall sex them up right quick!

:bounce:

[Wat_Tyler]

12. Doesn't take much to get you going, does it?

[eyesroll]

15. Gotta get back in the saddle somehow!

There's something about bashing, basher-bashing, basher-basher-bashing, ad infinitum, that makes me all tingly inside.

[Wat_Tyler]

16. Mmmm. Saddles.

[eyesroll]

19. I shall bring the riding crop!

[Wat_Tyler]

21. Baby, I'll be your horse.

[eyesroll]

25. I said "trot," dammit! Trot!

[Wat_Tyler]

26. Neigh, lady.

[Phillycat]

22. .

[tigereye]

28. is that what happens to those who are too, too serious here,

Jane? ;)

[Phillycat]

29. Dunno, I Google-imaged "riding crop" and that came up.

I kinda liked the looks of it, so I posted it. :)

[ogradda]

30. nice pic

mod's forum? :)

[tjwash]

10. purple.

I just love that color for some reason.

[Beware the Beast Man]

17. Sounds good to me.

[deadmessengers]

23. I like what they do on Kos

They start posting recipes :)

[Guy_Montag]

31. Could we shut them down by hijacking them

& turning them into sex threads?

[Misunderestimator]

32. Oh yeah... even I would go for that!

[Beware the Beast Man]

33. done and done!

[JimmyJazz]

34. Well, you know what I have to say about all this:

SANDINISTA!

:P

I promise that's the last time - really, I do.

I think you might be on to something, though - anyone YOU disagree with, just let us know and we'll shame them out of here with hi-jinx and frivolity!

[Wat_Tyler]

35. And this would be any different from usual, how?

:P

[JimmyJazz]

36. I promise that was the last time...please don't put me on ignore...

on edit: I don't want to get myself into trouble...


:P

[Wat_Tyler]

38. Did somebody post something here?

:shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

39. you hurt my feelings -

:cry:

so just for that, I'm not saying anything, but

[no name no slogan]

37. I suggest a space-based Flamewar Defense System (FDI)

We could sink a few billion bucks into it for a couple decades, fake the tests, and claim that it will protect us from terra-ists, as well as from conventional flamewar threats.

Let's get Tom DeLay to propose it to the rest of the House. Of course, we'll have to make several six-figure donations to the Texas Republican Smear Committee, but it's a worthwhile investment in the end.
