2. You have to feed them. Manure and crushed bone usually helps.
Especially if they are Kudzu.

3. It's a defense mechanism...
Like armadillos and opossums. They aren't really dead, of course.

4. Probably because they are always filled with praise for...
... frotteurism.

8. Don't feel badly, mine die too.
Edited on Tue May-16-06 09:17 AM by KC2
And it is because of me!

Edit: HA! I originally wrote, "mind die too." Well, of course I needed to correct that!

23. If it's any consolation, I used to get 1-2 replies. Now it seems no one
Edited on Tue May-16-06 06:07 PM by qnr
even looks. They just stay big, fat goose eggs :) -- at least this one is doing pretty good for you!

Teach me to sleep-type... replied to the wrong post, however, if I had to have picked the wrong one to reply to, this would have been it.

9. it's *not* you
unless you've already got a rep like mine. i'm an argumentative, conceited prick; hence, the failure of most of my threads.


mostly, it just takes some X to get known y appreciated in the lounge. i sugg you post in lots of other threads y make contact w/ others here that way; establish yourself as a DUer w/ your unique personality y rack up your post-count.

just don't take it personally if you fail to make a big splash w/ your own threads for awhile. keep plugging away.

*I*, on the other hand, take *everygoddam* thing personally; i just don't give a fuck. worx for me...

:woohoo: :woohoo: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :woohoo: :woohoo:

19. Lyrics threads die quick deaths
unless they're Steely Dan or something really really atrocious, like "Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goal Post of Life"

20. Steely Dan lyrics threads shoot right to the top.
Not that I know from experience, or anything....

Some take off, but most just die.

24. Simply pull the lever
and the 16-tonne-weight will fall on him.




Then you eat the pureed quince.
