Things I've learned at DU:
Here's my list:


k&r = kick and recommend

Robb is not a dingbat

The Olive Garden is not a big Democratic hangout

and, last but not least....

The lounge will always cheer me up!

2. Yeah, I know
I probably did that last night with my longing to be rebellious. I mean...nobody starts smoking at 45! That's when peoples' doctors are telling them they have to quit or they'll die! :crazy:

5. Hi KC2.

It cheers me up, too.

I heard a great explanation for the feeling
I get when I'm blogging with fellow Dems.

I wind down and wind up at the same time.

It's an nice dichotomy.

:hug:

8. And there's almost nothing that can't become a flame war.
We've learned who Kelly Brooks is. Or at least what she looks like almost naked.

Straight boys really, really love lesbians.

and Kudzu is really going places.

17. I don't know why'd they be jealous, since we're not really competition.

24. Well, I think it's funny.
It's kinda like watching a dog chase thier tail. They'll never get it, you're not sure what they'd do with it if they ever caught it anyhow, but there doesn't seem to be any harm in letting them enjoy the pursuit. :D

10. I've never figured out why the hate for Olive Garden
They're no more of a Repub donater than Chilis (in fact, Chilis is far worse, being run by not just Repubs but Christian Reconstructionists at that)

11. I learned three important things
Never pick a fight with a lesbian..You will loose!!
Never pick a fight with a vegan...You will loose!!
and if you pick a fight with a vegan/lesbian..you may be retarded :)
The most important thing all joking aside.I have learned is that if you need an ear ,advice, or just a friend..This is the place to be!
:)

15. Well, setting off fireworks indicates support for North Korea
I didn't realize that before today. Quite an eye-opener. :eyes:

19. Yep, I never knew I supported a communist dictator before today.
I thought I was a democrat this whole time, but now I've seen the light.

25. It's amazing what you can learn on the Internet
from people who are absolutely certain that they're absolutely right. :)

16. 1. There is no topic that cannot or will not be copycatted.
2. There is no original post that cannot somehow turn into a sex thread in 3 posts or less.

3. If a picture thread is not started every 40 posts, Loungers will begin to exhibit signs of withdrawal similar to herioine usage.

4. No matter what you love, someone here hates it and is prepared to mock you for it.
4(a) No matter what you hate, someone here loves it and is prepared to flame you over it.

5. California Peggy has a Kim Jong Il tattoo on her keester.

6. We actually mean to spell it 'moran.'

7. (Subject du jour) is a Rovian plot.

8. 80% of all English-speaking posters to the internet cannot correctly spell the word 'definitely' to save their lives.

9. Rabrrrrrr is a martini totalitarian who wipes his ass with Thomas Kinkade lithographs.

10. Everybody misses Bobo.

22. I'm not nearly as outgoing
on here as I am in person. It seems odd to me because the anonymity of a message board seems to make some people more bold - but not me.
I'm weird. :silly:

23. I'm the reverse just because
there are people here I have alot in common with which I really haven't had in my real life in the last few years. I protect my identity though because I've learned some hard lessons about the internet in the last little while.

26. I like it here for the same
reason. The people I work with tend don't share my politics.
I think a lot of my hesitance is because I am not as well infomred as many here and
I don't know much about posting pics and stuff like that.
