In honor of the douchebag thread - post other memorable DU threads |
|
I would have to say #1 would be that thread about A-Schwarzenegger post about his uncle's strange beast/pet Oscar. That has to be a classic.
#2 I think it was Underpants that started the thread but it was things you shouldn't say at the "Passion of the Christ" movie
What was some of the memorable threads from DU that you remember

1. That one where someone posted, and someone got all indignant, |
|
and a fight ensued, and it was locked.

22. the spin-off apology, escalation, and innuendo threads |
|

I'm really offended that you did not think to mention that. :nuke: :argh:

6. I got into a massive flamewar with |
|
DS1 in that thread.
Subsequently we became friends. Funny how that works. He was being a total douchebag.

I loved him specifically BECAUSE he was such a giant prick, and he was so unapologetic about it LOL I also befriended him after one particularly brutal flameout, and we realized that we both possessed the same appreciation for snark and sardonic wit.

It seems like something wants to hit me, but doesn't have quite the strength yet. Here's hoping that it never does!
Ooh, I had one of those flus years ago. Really weird dreams - I even woke up in odd positions, once not even in my bed. I'm not a sleepwalker or anything of the sort, I just remembered having dreams about swordfights and woke up, sprawled out on the floor on the other side of my bedroom. :crazy:
I'm glad you're through the worst of it. :hug:
