You know you're addicted to the DU Lounge when:

[Call Me Wesley]

[DS1]

1. My favorite one was

If you find yourself at a party or meeting and nobody is talking to you, you yell "Kick!"

:D

[Call Me Wesley]

2. At the risk of appearing addicted,

LOL!

[In_The_Wind]

11. LOL

:kick:

[Clintmax]

3. LOL!

:rofl:
Good ones, Wesley! I especially like number 10.

[Call Me Wesley]

4. Thank you!

And a good morning! :hi:

[Clintmax]

6. Good Morning to you too, Sir!

:hi:
How are you and Miss Heidi doing today? Good I hope!

[Call Me Wesley]

8. She has me on ignore.

:rofl: We're doing fine.

[Strong Atheist]

5. Other.

You keep checking your inbox and MyPosts throughout the day ...

[Call Me Wesley]

7. Or:

You're despondent that so-called "real life" doesn't have a MyPosts feature.

[Callalily]

9. Oh yeah!

#2. From now on I'm ending any, ahem, "discussion", that's not going my way with "LOCKING". It'll work, I just know it!
I give you for this thread!

[Call Me Wesley]

10. You tell us how that turns out, alright?

:rofl:

[Callalily]

12. Certainly . . .

And to expand on it's usage, I think this technique will come in handy during meetings!

[cfield]

13. I love it!

I've used #9 on my husband when he's asked about my day. "It was a slow day at work, so I hung out in the lounge." Funny thing is, he knew the first time that I meant DU!

[Call Me Wesley]

16. Thank you!

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

14. When you get a special connection for your wirelass laptop ...

and take it everywhere ...

[Call Me Wesley]

15. I'm always thankful

for all these unsecured hot spots. ;)

[In_The_Wind]

19. It's a giggle and a half!

Think about how crazy it'll be when I take my laptop to Sugar Smack's! We had a helluva party posting drunkel ... www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=3709345

[Call Me Wesley]

22. Oh my!

:wow:

[swimboy]

80. Okay, Joani! That one is bookmarked now!

What fun! Mother of Pearl dinner guns! And smilie table is hard! :rofl: and also :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

87. It's party time when I get together with my DU friends.

Sugar Smack and I laugh a lot when we're together or when we're talking on the phone.

I'm so very glad I found DU.

[Hugin]

17. My all time favorite...

"You do it doggie style so both of you can see the screen."

My apologies in advance if this gets locked or deleted.

[Call Me Wesley]

20. Yes, but

who does the refresh? ;)

[Hugin]

23. Sometimes, I think it would be easier to...

keep the S.O. barefoot and computer illiterate!

Kidding!

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. Funny Stuff Mr. Wesley

[Call Me Wesley]

21. Thank you!

I enjoyed doing it. :hi:

[Heidi]

24. Locking and

your Christmas gift is going back to Apple. :evilgrin:

[Call Me Wesley]

30. Nah,

I'd rather sell it on eBay! :rofl:

[khashka]

31. Heidi is going to hell!

ipods and the brazillion joke?

How dare you blaspheme one with the other!

Burn the witch!

Khash.

[Call Me Wesley]

34. That's what iPods are for,

are they not? :shrug:

[khashka]

38. No, sir, they are not.

May I direct you to this?

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2006/01/06/notes010606.DTL

Khash.

[Call Me Wesley]

40. You know,

besides anything iPod-related, I do like it when you call me 'Sir'.


:rofl:

[khashka]

42. I was doing my impersonation of The Magistrate

It was supposed to be intimidating.

If you think that I'm going to become your and Heidi's slave boy... well you better think again (or buy me a ticket to Switzerland).

Khash.

[Call Me Wesley]

45. Hmmm ...

Is Coach OK?

[auntAgonist]

25. hilarious

but yanoo? dang the truth hurts :rofl:


:hug:

[Heidi]

26. Oooooooooo, the agony.

It hurts worse when there are _two_ Lounge lizards in the house. :cry:

[Call Me Wesley]

35. LOL!

Oooops, did I say that?:yoiks:

[eyepaddle]

27. Well done

Call me Wesley!

Do you wanna take care of that fiendish Heidi for us? Her post was mean. :cry:

[Heidi]

28. Just what I need:

another DUer who thinks I need a spankin'. :cry:

[eyepaddle]

29. As they say,

if the shoe fits... :spank:

;) :pals:

[khashka]

33. We are in secret negotiations with Wesley...

Having been sworn to secrecy I can't say much.... other than you better start runnin'!

Khash.

[Call Me Wesley]

39. Gotta love Project X!

What? Are you not 'Red Fox'?

[Heidi]

81. You think I'm the kinda "girl" who runs from trouble?

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

32. Love the roots

[Call Me Wesley]

36. Unfortunately,

I didn't make this pic and have no clue who did it. It's around for quite some while. :hi:

[graywarrior]

37. You're still a clever dude.

[Strong Atheist]

41. When you can't stop posting

copycats:(

Help!

[Call Me Wesley]

44. Stop posting copycats!

Stop posting copycats
Before you break the rules
Stop posting copycats
Before you break the rules
Think it over
Think it over

[Strong Atheist]

49. Are you refering to this:

Do not spam the message board by posting the same message repeatedly, or by posting a flood of different messages. We have an automatic spam filter which blocks out members who post numerous messages in a short period of time.

[Call Me Wesley]

50. No.

This one (I just couldn't think of anything else to put in there):

Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

;)

[Strong Atheist]

54. Ah, I see. nt.

[Mutley]

43. I did #4 just last night.

:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

46. The question is:

Did it work? :shrug:

[Mutley]

48. No. But it worked when I kicked the wall.

:rofl:

[texanwitch]

47. I liked this so much I made it my wallpaper.

I love the roots.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

51. Thanks!

Here's the original pic without text in it:

[texanwitch]

52. May I add number 11.

You know you are addicted to the DU lounge when:

11. When you make DU your homepage because that is where you go to first everytime you use the computer.

[Oeditpus Rex]

53. ...you think of your high school yearbook as a pic thread

and you keep checking it to see if anybody's signed it since the last time you checked, half an hour ago.

:wow:

[Call Me Wesley]

57. Checking after 'half an hour'?

Who are you, Methusalem, that you can wait this long? :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

58. So I lied

It's really about every 10 minutes. :blush:

And/or every time it gets kicked.

[Call Me Wesley]

59. That's what I thought ... (nt)

[Oeditpus Rex]

60. Yeah, like *you* don't do it

Mr. Sultry Eyes. :eyes:

[Call Me Wesley]

61. Ha!

I can do it even faster! Only carpal tunnel syndrome slows me down ...

[Oeditpus Rex]

62. That made me think of somethin' weird

(Gee, who woulda thought, huh?)

I bet one of the next "breakthroughs" in computer tech is gonna be the Eye Scroller. Much like cameras that focus where your eye looks in the viewfinder, there'll be places on your monitor where you can look and move your eyes up, down, left or right, and the screen will scroll automatically.

Might even be a "blink to click" function.

:silly:

In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you

[Call Me Wesley]

63. You seem a lil' bit too late ...

http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~wdutton/comm533/EYEM-WU.htm

[Oeditpus Rex]

64. Figures

I invented radio, y'know. But I did it in 1973.

[Call Me Wesley]

66. No worries.

Could have been worse: I invented the Betamax system. :(

[Oeditpus Rex]

67. Then you can come over here

and clean all the shit off the top of mine so I can put in a tape. :grr:

[Call Me Wesley]

69. Oh no, is it really

you? The last Betamax user on earth? God bless you!

[Shine]

55. Very funny stuff! LOL!

good job! You're clever, my friend.
:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

56. Thank you!

:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

65. Priceless!!! Thank you!!!

I think many of us are guilty of at least some of these, at least I know that I am. I've checked DU when at someone else's house (like right now, LOL!) and I've often wished that I had the little shrugging guy or the grr guy to express myself in real life...:D

Rhiannon:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

68. No problem:

Just get a paper bag and express anything you want! :rofl:

[Rhiannon12866]

72. Thanks! I love it! And I might actually do better that way...

:rofl:

[GalleryGod]

70. Brilliant !

:rofl: That's it! and..That's that!:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

71. Thank you!

Glad you liked it! :hi:

[southlandshari]

73. When you have a bleeding ulcer,

you cry more than you laugh, your head feels like it is going to explode, you try to be friendly to everyone only to get bitten from all sides, you get caught up in petty shit that has nothing to do with you or with making positive change in the world - and you know good and goddamned well that no one would go through any of this willingly and that you must have gotten hooked somewhere along the way to keep putting yourself through such horrible shit, day in and day out. But it happened while you were too busy trying to be nice and friendly to everyone so you didn't notice the backlash that cometh.

And then you wake up and realize that your real life isn't half as bad as you thought it was and you are ready to do whatever it takes to kick the fucking habit here and get back to a place of perspective and reason.

:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

74. .

:hug:

[southlandshari]

75. ..

That's what I was hoping you would say. And better than I deserve.

Alert on it as inflammatory - it will be deleted post haste.

Sorry for posting angst in your uberfunny - as always - thread. I know you will forgive me after exacting the appropriate punishment, yes?

:hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

76. I'd rather bite my pinkie off

than to alert or avoid any post whatsoever in 'my' thread. And I don't even have to forgive you for anything because you didn't do anything that asks for forgiveness.

:hug:

[Redstone]

85. And you did it twice in a row, didn't you?

Don't think for one second that there aren't lots of us who appreciate your sacrifice in doing so for the greater good.

There are many who do, and I'm one of them. As you know.

Redstone

[SeattleGirl]

77. El-O-El

Or is that loll???? Good one, Wesley! :rofl:

[rbnyc]

78. That was great!

I have said L O L many times!

[yurbud]

79. you get excited by free association threads and often post to them

[FuzzySlippers]

82. You keep on nominating Lounge threads for the Greatest Page,

even though Lounge threads aren't freaking allowed on the Greatest Page.

[last_texas_dem]

83. Very good list

Those cracked me up.

[Redstone]

84. That was very funny. Good job.

Redstone

[Heidi]

86. Kick for the Nighthawks. (nt)
