Describe DU using quotes from Apocalypse Now

[x-g.o.p.er]

I'll start...

Genreal Discussion, shit, I'm still only in General Discussion. Every time I think I'm gonna wake up back in the lounge.

[Burma Jones]

1. Never Get Out of the Fucking Lounge

[x-g.o.p.er]

5. Absolutely goddamn right...

Unless you were goin' all the way. Will Pitt got out of the fucking lounge. He split from the whole fuckin' program.

[myrna minx]

2. I love the smell of GD Primaries in the morning.

[jobycom]

3. The Freeper... The Freeper...

[Gormy Cuss]

4. I love the smell of napalm in GD Politics.

:patriot:

[x-g.o.p.er]

6. Here's one...

Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a thread that was on fire, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice thread, and when it was over, I never wanted another.

[SofaKingLiberal]

7. Terminate the troll with extreme prejudice.

}(

[EstimatedProphet]

8. Charlie don't post in GD!

[jobycom]

9. You either surf or you fight (Lounge vs GD)

[Call Me Wesley]

10. OK:

Never get out of the Lounge. Absolutely god damn right. Unless you were going all the way."

Ahhh, stereotypes makes living so easy! ;)

On edit addition:

"Do you know what the man is saying? Do you? This is dialectics. It's very simple dialectics. One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, with fractions. What are you going to land on, one quarter, three-eighths, what are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something -- that's dialectic physics, OK? Dialectic logic is there's only love and hate, you either love somebody or you hate them."

That's an actual response I once got on DU. Nah. Not really. But I wouldn't be surprised. :rofl:

[x-g.o.p.er]

11. I worry that my son might not understand what I've tried to be...

And if I were to be banned, Skinner, I would want someone to go to my home and tell my son everything. Everything I did, everything you saw, because there's nothing that I detest more than the stench of lies. And if you understand me Skinner, you will do this for me.

[texas1928]

12. General discussion: Alito

"I love the smell of Napalm in the morning"

[leftofthedial]

13. the horror . . . the horror

at least that's GD-P

[Hugin]

14. Oh man, the shit piled up so fast in GD you needed wings to stay above it.

[Richardo]

15. "Will Pitt was from some South GD shithole and I think the light and space

...of the Lounge put the zap on his head."

[anarch]

16. GD: "You either surf or you fight." n/t

[x-g.o.p.er]

17. This is the way the fucking GD thread ends...

Look at this fucking shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm fucking splitting, Jack.

[StaggerLee]

18. DUonnie DUarko

Skinner: Why do you wear that stupid GrovelBot suit?
G.B.: Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

[Twillig]

19. "Some day this thread is gonna end.."

'Some day this thread is gonna end.' That'd be just fine with the
boys and girls in 'Late Breaking News.'

[x-g.o.p.er]

20. What the hell do you know about threads ending?

You're from goddamned New Jersey!

:)

[Ptah]

21. Then there was Skinner, the Chief.

It might have been my thread,
but it sure as shit was Chief's Lounge.

[malmapus]

22. The horror

Everytime I read something new Bushco is doing to the country.

[x-g.o.p.er]

23. I watched my thread crawl along the bottom of page 1

That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the bottom of... page 1... and surviving.

[Richardo]

[Richardo]

25. "I always play Wagner!! Scares the shit out of the Mods!!"

[Twillig]

28. Did you not assassinate the character of a Republican government official

in General Discussion, June 19th, 1968, The Magistrate?


"Sir, I am unaware of any such activity or operation - nor would
I be disposed to discuss such an operation if it did in
fact exist, sir."

(edit: two asses in assassinate!)

[x-g.o.p.er]

29. Hey, man, you don't talk to Will Pitt...

You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll, uh, well, you'll say hello to him, right? And he'll just post right by you, and he won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll reply, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say do you know that if is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you - I mean I'm no, I can't - I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's, he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas...

[rucky]

30. I love the smell of Latest Breaking News in the morning. n/t

[ksilvas]

31. Are my methods of posting unsound? I don't see any method, at all.

[Richardo]

32. The heads. You're looking at the heads. Sometimes Skinner goes too far.

He's the first one to admit it.

[x-g.o.p.er]

33. LOL!!!

Best one yet!!
:rofl:

[x-g.o.p.er]

34. Disneyland. Fuck, man, this is better than Disneyland! n/t

[Blue_Tires]

35. Skinner don't surf!

[x-g.o.p.er]

36. If I say its safe to post on this thread...

Blue_Tires, then its safe to post this thread. I mean I'm not afraid to post on this thread, I'll post in this whole fucking place!

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. 'What do you call liberals

who accuse liberals?"

[DinahMoeHum]

38. The crew were mostly DUers: Rock & rollers with one foot in their grave.

n/t

[x-g.o.p.er]

39. x- g.o.p.er in the lounge was a

famous ex-Republican from the tundra of Minnesota. You look at him and you wouldn't believe he ever posted a thread in his whole life.

[WilliamPitt]

40. You smell that? You smell that? Nader, son.

Nothing else in the world smells like that. You know, one time we had a hill bomb. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinking Green body. But that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like...victory.

Someday this war's gonna end.

[StaggerLee]

41. Ok x-g.o.p.er

I'm a dork.

I should pay closer attention to the post contents.

:blush:
