Is it safe to go into GD?

[yvr girl]

It can be a scary place on days like this.

1. Go on... have a go... cut your teeth on an election night...

... you never know... you might just find you enjoy the ride!

[yvr girl]

4. I posted in GD before I ever posted in the lounge

I even accidentally started a flamefest that was on the front page for 5 days until I begged for the mods to lock it.

I'm no GD virgin.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

5. ahhhh... but that wasn't my inference....

.... you sounded a little like you've not popped your nose in there on an evening such as this... I was merely encouraging you to do so :)

[yvr girl]

9. I have

I just don't like to see bloodshed.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

10. so very humanitarian of you... I am deeply impressed :)

[Truebrit71sbruv]

18. That said....

... I would like to know what explosion you DID cause, and why?... I'm just rubbernecking...

[yvr girl]

20. It was an ill-advised subject line break

I couldn't fit the entire sentence in the appropriate space, so I finished it off in the body of the message. Many people were upset by the subject line, and didn't notice the context.

Basically, it was me against motherhood. (Not my intent, but so much for intentions.)

21. Ooooppppss...

That is what we call in the UK a "clanger"...

Ah well... it is sometimes interesting to just light the blue-touchpaper and watch the whole bonfire go up...

You can at least toast your virtual marshmallows...

2. It's not too bad right now.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

3. sure...

If you're a drop-dead political addict like some of us :hi:

6. It's the calm before the storm.

Go on over and enjoy it while it's still safe.

7. Polls are still open.

So I'd say it's safe right now.

[WilliamPitt]

8. It's nervous and wound up, but generally feeling good

If things go into the shitter at the polls tonight, however, flee GD as fast as you can.

[yvr girl]

11. Like you're one to give advice

(Mr. Centre of Many a GD Flamefest)

I have to work tonight, so I'll be out for prime time.

[GOPisEvil]

12. Yeah, we were in a good mood for the first hour or so in '04, too.

I'm like a Boston Red Sox fan when it comes to elections. Ready to celebrate, but prepared for the shit to hit the fan at a moment's notice.

[yvr girl]

13. Way to play to your audience

I believe Mr. Pitt has watched a Red Sox game or two...thousand

[GOPisEvil]

16. Well, it truly is the best analogy.

I want to see a Red Sox game. Just one at Fenway. I've seen them play here in Texas.

[yvr girl]

17. I was hoping to see one when I was there

But I ended up going to see Pitt and (can't remember the guy's name (but he was excellent)) speak.

[MrCoffee]

14. seems fairly chill in there...give it time, though.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. It's starting to get a bit testy.

But just a bit.

[Left Is Write]

19. For now, yes.
