I have never been more ashamed of DU

[underpants]

The Lounge specifically.

I'm not quitting or anything but this is, to say the least, very disheartening.

I have let this go all week without comment and finally the time has come. This has gone on too long.

There was something called "Pole-a-palooza" complete with photographs and yet there has not been ONE thread about it.

Seriously folks you need to get it together.

Which made the photo much more amusing.

9. Yeah but

I think the world has learned that letting Germans near the Poles is a bad idea

[ThomCat]

17. Oh, you're gonna burn in hell for that one.

[LynneSin]

16. Sweetie you suck!!!

I mean, I posted about the new hurricane coming through the gulf before you did. YOu were suppose to watch out for hurricanes and warn us! Hell CNN even scooped you on the tornados in NYC

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. It was lame. No tornados.

I don't even know what they were talking about because outside of NYC we didn't even have thunder or wind. Just rain.

[underpants]

23. Tornadoes are not hurricanes

That has been established by the science.

[LynneSin]

25. Yes but you're still not doing your job

What's happening with Debbie? Will tropical depression #5 become Ernesto

Inquiring minds want to know

[underpants]

27. No one ever imagined a tropical depression in the carribean

Insert some sort of statement about "moving heaven and earth"

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. Is pole dancing considered a sport?

You know- like cheerleading?

[matcom]

BOTH summer AND winter

[Hugin]

24. Sorry, I've been lurking in GD.
