OK folks - THIS IS THE LOUNGE!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Have we forgotten?

[Lefta Dissenter]

1. Well then

where's the coffee??? :shrug:

[Beware the Beast Man]

14. There's ZombyCoffee

But most of us aren't allowed to partake.

[Wat_Tyler]

18. No. It's like a Seinfeld episode. That one with the soup.

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. Barrista Nazi?

:shrug:

[Wat_Tyler]

28. Works for me.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

27. And it would taste bad anyway

[eleonora]

2. guess there's no time to lounge now! j/k

[BlondieK143]

3. Thanks! :)

I think most people have been too stressed to notice. :hug:

[blondeatlast]

4. Normally I'd agree with you, but we have to lighten up

a bit, I think.

Yesterday it was a horrible day in the political forums, it's only natural we'd come here to let off steam.

[BiggJawn]

5. They took our GD away from us.

We now have "GD, the Fight Club" edition, and "GD, the not-so-sweaty Fight Club" edition.

No place to go discuss GD-type things that aren't "Fuck the Red Staters" or "I'm fleeing to ICELAND!" posts....

[blondeatlast]

9. There are numerous pleas in AtA to get it back.

I'm ready for some normalcy, and they were nearly all disruptors anywya.

[BiggJawn]

37. You and me both!

1000+ thread counts notwithstanding, I see a LOT of new names. I figured they came from I/P or the Gungeon to stir shit up...

[terrya]

6. I'll try to remember that. But there was some NASTY shit in GD last night.

And I WILL NOT forget and FORGIVE that. Never, EVER.

Fuck the bigots, fuck the haters and fuck anyone who would demean me or refuse my rights. FUCK that.

[blondeatlast]

10. Bruised and bloody, but I'm ready to go back into the ring.

But I think it's time we aggressively get rid of the disruptors.

I thought I'd ended up in the Straight Dope pit by mistake last night.

I don't go there for a reason!

[terrya]

20. blondeatlast, I'm sorely tempted to ask Skinner to hold off..

on accepting new members indefintely. Seriously. It's purge time, at DU. To weed out the freeper creeps and lowlifes. Some of them are unmasking themselves as we speak. But that's not enough.

[blondeatlast]

31. I'm with you--seriously.

That was just hideous last night.

[Beware the Beast Man]

15. Terry, you need a

:hug: I know it's not much, but we're looking out for you here.

[terrya]

22. Thank you, Beware the Beast Man.

A :hug: will go a long way to help me out. It's quite a bit, actually.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

26. Here's another one Terry

:hug:

[terrya]

29. Thank you, CStT. I understand your feelings about the Lounge.

I...we...needed to vent some this morning. If the Lounge can turn normal yesterday, it can today.

:hug:

T

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. Hey - ALWAYS seek refuge here. Its just the Jeb/Satan in 08 type threads

that need to GO!

[terrya]

33. *sigh* I know.

[Donkeyboy75]

40. Aw, hell, terry.

:grouphug:

[terrya]

42. Back at ya:

:hug:

[arwalden]

7. Yes, that's true, but there are some folks who ONLY come to the lounge...

... and some folks who--although they visit other areas on DU--are more comfortable in the lounge where most of their FRIENDS are.

Sorry to spoil the lounge for you CSTT. :eyes:

-- Allen :hi:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Allen - you're right and I understand that point of view.

It's the blatantly GD posts that are out of hand

[blondeatlast]

13. Upon review, I see your point.

I hate that kind of clutter when I'm trying to relax!

[rbnyc]

17. Like Me.

I do go to other forums every once in a while, but I almost never post anywhere but the lounge. This is where I feel most at home.

:hi:

[DrZeeLit]

11. Sooo, I'm loungin' in my pj's with a cup o' coffee....

...what more do you ask?

I'm going to be around today, writing on my novel.
I have a deadline and this election wreaked havoc on my work.
NOT THAT THERE"S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

Hmmm, cinnamon roll, anyone?

[kitkatrose]

24. MMM.... Cinnamon rolls....

[Jersey Devil]

12. Relax! Put your feet up - Things will normalize soon

Obviously the mods are letting posters blow off steam wherever they want to and I think it is quite natural and the right decision by DU.

[LisaLynne]

16. Hey, I'm doing my part ...

I posted some copycat threads yesterday, so ... :)

[DS1]

21. I do believe you've just Tody Keith'd me

:nuke:

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. It could be worse. You could have been Parlocked.

And that would be bad. :hi:

[DS1]

34. Wow, so bad I've never even heard of it... kinda like how you

don't learn the definition of 'felch' until you're typically well out of high school :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Heh. Parlock was the guy who faked the "my daughter had her signed

ripped up by a bad union man" scene. Also the guy who happened to be at his town's Repub HQ the day someone supposedly, "Shot out the windows". :hi:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. Let there be DEBAUCHERY!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

30. Thats what I'm talkin bout!

[JimmyJazz]

36. There is no debauchery allowed!

Unless I'm invited to partake :7

[jukes]

38. trying

my friend & brother.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

41. Sweet!

[miss_kitty]

39. I saw some member last night jump do someones throat

who was worried about the politicising of the Lounge. "This is the Democratic Underground" he/she/it snarled, "not the Trivial Underground" Someone with a gazillion posts too. someone I'd never seen before. :shrug:

I decided that any reply I might have for the member, other than nodding in bobble headed agreement would have caused war, and so I left.
