If a non-troll, non-member of one of the "cool" cliques fell

[leftofthedial]

in the DU forest, would anyone hear?

I think not.

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. No, but the squirrel he/she hits would scream!

:hi:

[leftofthedial]

2. here's to the squirrels!

:toast:

[ClassWarrior]

3. Here's to the trees too!

:toast:

NGU.

[arwalden]

8. Oh Dear...

:rofl:

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. Stop. Just stop.

this clique shit is getting ridiculous. So no one responds to your posts. Boo-fuckin-hoo.

[leftofthedial]

12. who says no one responds to my posts?

oh, wait. no one does respond to my posts. Except for the people who do. Including you. Man, does that make you an oxymoron?

But hey, it's my thread and I'll cry if I want to!

Sorry Beastie, didn't mean to crap in your wheaties.

[Beware the Beast Man]

17. It wasn't directly aimed at you. I'm sorry.

There's a general "no one responds to my posts because I'm not one of the cool kids" vibe as of late, and it's tiresome. It took me a good few months of posting before I felt as if I had gained some clout around here. Yes, it aggrivates me too, but it's not as if we can dismantle said groups. The fact is, people make friends outside this forum, and if they want to congregate here, that is their prerogative.

[leftofthedial]

23. I think in any large group like DU

smaller groups will gather.

I truthfully don't even notice. If I see a thread that interests me I'll jump in with both feet, without respect (hey!-that's probably my problem) to whose thread it is.

I'm just a habitually sarcastic guy, and I do think the teeth gnashing over certain DUers when they leave or bet booted is laughable and tiresome. It's kind of like our own little slice of the Michael Jackson trial.

5. What are these "cool cliques"

and could you name the people in them?

Thanks!

[WindRavenX]

6. I've been wondering

I'm really confused about the clique calling outs...I don't know what constitutes a clique.
I'm a butterfly.

[leftofthedial]

14. did I say "cliques"? I didn't mean "cliques."

I meant gangs.

[WindRavenX]

22. Gangs huh?

You mean, like the Cripes and the Bloods?
I didn't know the lounge had that problem :cry:

[leftofthedial]

25. roving gangs of goofballs

hanging out in the lounge and acting suspicious.

I think they're up to no good.

[WindRavenX]

28. I think we should report them to the DoHS

...they're evil-doers.

[leftofthedial]

31. except the ones who crashed Mr Scorpio's party

they were evil Dewars doers

[Zenlitened]

33. The 'Cripes' and the Bloods!

:rofl:

Sorry, but that just has me cracking up, for some reason. I wanna be in the Cripes!


Here's to funny typos! :toast:

[leftofthedial]

34. The Cripes and the Bloody Hells

[Zenlitened]

35. Better watch out! The Jumpin' Jehoshaphats are movin' into town!

:D

[leftofthedial]

36. what are the JJs gang colors?

[Zenlitened]

37. According to the extensive research I've done...

Black and white with a touch of lavender for the lettering:

[leftofthedial]

38. you're killing me

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. Me and anyone like me.

There's your clique.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. errrr....excuse me....

Have we met???? :P :hi: :bounce:

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. No. No one responds to me.

I am a pariah :cry:

[leftofthedial]

16. you mean like a fish with really sharp teeth?

no wonder no one responds.

[Bouncy Ball]

11. So anyone like you?

Does that mean people who wear the same kind of clothes as you?

People who enjoy beer?

I'm REALLY confused about this clique shit. And I've heard so much about it, I'm starting to wonder if it isn't some kind of distraction thing. I mean, what's really the issue here? If people want to post, what's stopping them?

[Beware the Beast Man]

18. You're in my clique, baby!

:D :hug:

[Bouncy Ball]

19. I AM?????

I HAD NO IDEA!!!

Heyyyyyy, that means it's NOT a clique! If it were, wouldn't I know I was in one?

:crazy:

[Zuni]

20. I like beer

[leftofthedial]

15. c'mon. There's no one else like you Beware the Beast Man

[leftofthedial]

13. well, the coolest of the cool cliques

is the one of all the people whose sigs have pix of the bushturd getting peed on in the face.

The second of the coolest cool cliques is the people who say there are no cliques.

The third of the coolest cool cliques is all the people who don't respond to my posts.

[DS1]

21. Clickety click, baby!

*giggity giggity giggity*

[Bouncy Ball]

24. Are you being serious?

[leftofthedial]

26. never!

at least not tonight.

I'd never be a member of a clique that would have me as a member.

[Bouncy Ball]

27. Oh thank goodness.

Because I could tell you were describing me and as a dyed in the wool populist who has never turned up her nose at ANYONE in real life, I really seriously bristle at the idea of being accused of being in an exclusionary group.

Like BeastMan it took months before anyone really responded to my posts in the lounge.

[Lars39]

29. You honestly don't know a stranger, BB.

That's one of the things I like about you.

[Bouncy Ball]

30. Aw, thanks Lars!!!

Would it be ok if I hugged you? LOL!

:hug:

[leftofthedial]

32. I've been here since nearly the start

and no one still responds to most of my posts
