Want to sign my pledge? I pledge right now not to enter GDP until we have a presumptive nom...
Edited on Fri Feb-29-08 12:36 PM by janesez
It's not just that the level of dialogue in there has digressed to the point of utter shite, it's that I keep seeing people that I'm fond of posting things that I NEVER would have expected them to post. It's a crappy feeling, and I just don't care anymore until we get our nominee. Somebody please let me know if there are any Skinner announcements I need to read, otherwise, I'm OUT!

Signed,

Janesez

PS. I'm going back to my Red Sox avatar. Y'all fight this out yourselves. I'll vote for whoever.

I don't think I take the DU as seriously as some people do.

2. I was sort of chuckling at it for a while...
because people kept saying, OMG this is so much worse than 2004!!!!111ELEVENTY! And I was like, "Oh Christ, no it's not, put your big girl pants on." And just in the past few days, I'm like, "You know what, this is totally worse than 2004. This is just GARBAGE." So now I'm here. :)

3. Why anyone would want to leave the amniotic embrace of the Lounge is beyond me
I feel the same way about Cooking & Baking. That place is beyond hope.

9. Me, Me! I'll take the pledge!
However, I should warn you in advance that I expect it'll be about as effective as those "Virginity Pledges" demanded by the abstinence-only advocates.


Sooner or later, I'll probably succumb to the urge to sneak a peek human beings at their basest. GD-P wields a dreadful fascination - like the venomous reptile exhibit at the zoo.

10. I'll keep you strong, FloridaJudy!
Any time you feel yourself slipping, PM me and I'll distract you with a Lounge thread or a picture of, say, George Clooney. Will that work?

13. "..... the venomous reptile exhibit at the zoo."
Or the geek show at a third rate carnie.

I especially like the "if (fill in blank) doesn't win the nomination, I'm not voting. So there! Nah!"

With that level of maturity and sense of civic responsibility, it's probably best.

I can't take this junior-high name-calling bullshit any more. I'm steering clear of GD-P until we have our nominee. Then I will throw my support behind that person 100%.

Yowza November cannot come fast enough. And I'm generally quite fond of pool season.

41. Thank goodness we won't have to wait until November.
Skinner's made it clear that this insanity-fest only lasts til we have a presumptive nominee, and after that the mods are wading in and cracking skulls. It MIGHT be til the convention, but no longer than that. :)

How do people get that worked up and crazy this early in the morning?
