What are the Rules for the Lounge???

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

I'm an idiot. I can't find the rules for the Lounge. The only rule I know is "no sex threads," a rule that seems to be honored more in the breach than the observance. So what are the rules, and where can I find them??

:crazy:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. Same rules as DU in general.

Plus no sex threads.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

22. Does that mean

sex threads are allowed everywhere else on DU!

Like on latest breaking news:

Breaking: I can't find my pants!!! :rofl: :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. Well, no but I always wondered that if someone started a sex thread in LBN

if would it be moved here first with a "This is not latest breaking news. Please read the LBN forum rules" or if it would just be locked outright with a "This is not latest breaking news. Please read the LBN forum rules. No sex threads."

[wildhorses]

2. rules and lounge used in the same sentence?

:rofl:

welcome to the lounge:hi:


1. come late

2. stay early

3. post often

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

3. Thanks!

For the welcome!

So are you allowed to say: "I'm not wearing any pants!!"???


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[wildhorses]

4. not only is it allowed...it is encouraged--

you might want to start a thread about it:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. Heh...there have been several threads about me losing my pants.

:rofl:

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

10. Sorry

I missed them :evilgrin:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. Actually, one of them was about losing my shorts which did happen.

I was indeed wearing shorts, but I had a pair of board shorts stuffed between the center console and seat of my Jeep. Anyway, I have no air conditioning in my car and I had all the windows down. With the cross breeze, my shorts ended up blowing out the window as I was crossing the Tappan Zee bridge. I lost my shorts somewhere in the Hudson River basically.

[Nicole]

15. You can only say that if

you post a photo to prove it. :evilgrin:

[Vidar]

21. Actually we are more interested in a pantless haruka.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. Yes, but photos of that nature will never be posted on DU.

Unless by "pantless," you mean wearing shorts.

[Vidar]

26. Lost my pants in my favorite bar once.

Changed into shorts for swimming and forgot the jeans. Made a good anecdote for several years.

[Floogeldy]

5. Don't fucking yell at anybody.

Don't use the C word, and no talk about fucking. ;)

And don't call people names, dickweed! :smoke:

[Drum]

13. lol

:thumbsup:

:smoke:

[Floogeldy]

17. Heh.

;)

[Suich]

6. I don't think you can talk about "cowbell" either.

Don't know why, though.

:shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. WE NEED MORE COWBELL!!!!

:woohoo:

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

9. What is this thing

you call. . . ."cowbell"? :yoiks:

[LynneSin]

Hey - Cowbell makes all lounge threads even better

:grr:

[MrScorpio]

11. Do whatever California Peggy tells you to do...

Or pay the consequences

[struggle4progress]

14. You must post a certain number of standard threads before ...

... most loungers will take you seriously. These include, but are not limited to:

(1) Asking whether anyone knows the Brazilian joke
(2) Lamenting the condition of GD
(3) "I just (...)! Ask me anything!"
(4) A picture thread: Kitty cats are a popular choice
(5) Explorations of the level of moderator attention

[LostinVA]

33. You forgot one

(6) Post a thread about cliques in the Lounge

[madinmaryland]

34. I did that a couple of days ago!!!

:evilgrin:

[struggle4progress]

84. Robb's a dingbat?

[Fuzz]

16. First rule: No talking about The Lounge

Second rule: No talking about The Lounge.

[Jamastiene]

41. Oh yeah, and what happens in the Lounge stays in the Lounge. n/t

[MrCoffee]

72. if this is your first post in the Lounge, you have to fight.

[swag]

18. To thine own self be true.

If only I had a self to which to be true.

Better luck to you.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

19. Ahhh

A Polonius fan ;-)

[Haole Girl]

20. No Sex Threads?

Shhhhh

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

25. Shhhh...

Just call it democracy and keep it on the downlow. It takes them longer to catch up to you.

[LostinVA]

35. STFU!!!!!!

Jeebus. You could NEVER be in the real mafia... you can't even handle the Lesbian Mafia.

EDIT your post, Punkmallow.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

39. I made the post 14 hours ago. How the hell am I supposed to edit it?

Cliqueykins.

P.S. I was lying. Democracy is really Democracy, as in the stuff we all theoretically want and vote for.

[LostinVA]

47. Liberals love Democracy -- and the home of the free and stuff

Haruka is a pathological liar.


Cliqueypoo... arte you resting? You can get your gay stepbro to come over and whip up a tempting pot of tofu noddle soup...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

50. Yeah, I'm all bundled up in bed. I think I have a low-grade fever.

My gay stepbro would never go near tofu. That kid lives purely off of junk food. I think he subsists entirely off of hot dogs, cheese doodles, mac & cheese, pizza hut pizza (no real pizza) and mozzerella sticks.

My sister and I say, one day he'll come out of the closet and realize he has to go on a diet and start working out to get a man. Although, the kid next door here is a little flamer too, and my mom introduced them to each other. We think she might have inadvertently made a future match.

[LostinVA]

54. I can have some yummy chicken noddle soup delivered to you

With a side of marshmallows and Jello.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

58. You B-word.

[LostinVA]

62. Okay then, beef vegetable...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

64. I'm tempted to go out and pick up some Hot & Sour.

Or maybe some cheap $0.10 ramen, because I love that stuff, even though it's terrible for me.

[LostinVA]

67. I know... I do, too

Especially when I'm sick.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

68. I think it's because whenever I was sick as a kid, that's what my mom fed me

Whenever I feel crappy, I start craving it.

[Fleshdancer]

27. No brazillions, no Olive Garden, no kudzu (even though its going places)...

no smoking, LOTS of sneaky sex threads, NO official sex threads, you will support public breast feeding, you may or may not support kids in restaurants at your own peril, Robb is a dingbat, start a photo thread to make a ton of new friends, you will love cats and most dogs, freepers are morans, you can enter into a lounge clique but you MUST say you don't belong to any, CaliforniaPeggy will drop the f-bomb if you ask nicely, and Skittles WILL kick your ass.

Best of all though, when you need one hug the lounge will give 100 hugs. When you need to vent, the lounge will listen. When you fucked up and feel guilty about it, the lounge will totally agree that you fucked up but remind you that we all fuck up and that you are human for better or for worse. ;)

That's just my take on the lounge rules though...but you don't know me so I could be completely full of shit. Your call. Life is risky that way. :D

[Hippo_Tron]

28. You have to meet your cat picture quota

Or you're out

[Robeson]

29. I love it. Not one Mod, thus far, has posted as to what the rules are....

...:rofl:

So that means anything goes! }(

[Random_Australian]

30. Rule number one: Don't tell people rule number two. Rule number two:

Skinner's dog isn't all THAT cute.

[buddhamama]

31. "The Rules"

apply to every forum.

There are one or two that might be 'forum' specific e.g. the Late Breaking News forum or the Israel/Palestine forum, but, on the whole
The Rules are The Rules, no exceptions.

[wildhorses]

32. so then there you have it..

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

40. I was called an anarchist once, but that was in GD.

:shrug:

[wildhorses]

51. never trust anything you hear in GD

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

53. I've been in GD since the ruling came down yesterday.

I think I may be developing a nervous tic.

Geez, even I've read them before.

You're bad.

[Jamastiene]

44. Even I read the rules at least once.

Mercy. Why else does that squirrel hater think I spend so many hours trying to think of clever ways to make everyone laugh. :evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

49. You North Carolinians like to know rules for ONE REASON:

How to get away with breaking them.

So, what's Bucky Covington up to lately?

[Jamastiene]

55. Well, I can't disagree with you at all on that one.

You got me. :evilgrin: :rofl:

I'm not sure what he's doing. I haven't seen him since he went off to Hollywood and became all popular. Of course, I never saw him until he went off to Hollywood and became all popular. :shrug: That is an intersting question.

[LostinVA]

56. I lived there for 17 years, rtemeber....

[Jamastiene]

57. So, THAT is how you know our secret rule in NC...

You came down here and taught it to us originally. :evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

63. OMG!!! I did!

[LostinVA]

48. *sigh* I was JOKING

Do you have a fever or something?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

52. Yes, I think so.

I'm feeling crappier as the day goes on.

[Jamastiene]

38. 1. Don't be serious. It'll only get you in trouble.

2. Talk about food instead of sex. It usually works pretty well.
3. You MUST post jokes at least once in a while.
4. Expect many photo threads, especially kitty photo threads, yippee.
5. The drunker you are, the better it gets in here, so bottoms up.
6. Don't read the Lounge while you are at work. It'll only get you in trouble.
7. Come to the Lounge and enjoy yourself.
8. Whatever DU General Rules say pretty much applies to the Lounge, unless you can find a way to get by with it.
9. PARTY!!!!!!
10. Don't forget to start a post saying, "Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!" in the subject line and either :bounce: :bounce: or :woohoo: in the body of said message every once in a while.

That's pretty much it. Enjoy yourself above all though. :hi:

Btw, Welcome to the Lounge.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

60. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
