If I get my backhoe and bury the dead horse would the Lounge

[Tuesday Afternoon]

still find a way to continue beating it?

[flvegan]

1. Couldn't we sell the meat and buy a keg instead?

:popcorn:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. ...

:rofl: good one

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. yes, because no one wants you to forget that the horse is dead

the horse is sacred.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. But, of course!

[BarenakedLady]

5. Depends on which horse

There are a few to choose.

:shrug:

[MissMillie]

6. probably

especially if it had breasts....

[TZ]

7. Of course!

To me the difference between GDP and the Lounge is this: Both groups love to beat that dead horse into a pulp, but the Lounge does it with style and humor! Why its practically an art form here!:rofl:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. maybe you and i see different lounge threads. the dead horse here is frequently not funny

and also WAY trivial

atleast in GD/GDP the horse had some importance to begin with

[TZ]

15. As I said to DS1

The lounge isn't the place for seriousness, not really. Everybody finds different things funny.
I try really hard not to look down my nose at someone because they have a different sense of humor than mine. I know I'm not a stupid or brainless person. But I do find some things funny that others would undoubtably find juvenile. So what?
If a thread is not to your taste you don't have to click on it.
But I do find this kind of humor snobbery a bit irritating, to tell the truth. Hide thread is your friend.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. sorry but if something is irritating i have an equal right to complain about it

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. style? humor? art?

where? a bloody pulpy mess is just that ...a bloody pulpy mess.

[DS1]

10. actually it's a load of shit

the fingertip-spew in this place is just that. there's no art to it. there's no style to it. there's no effort involved in it.

It's open mike night at the lobotomy clinic, and we're all invited.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. It's open mike night at the lobotomy clinic, and we're all invited

i dont often agree with you. but that line is hillarious and better than most DUZY winning lines.

[DS1]

12. thanks

:thumbsup:

[TZ]

14. meh.

If I want serious, thoughtful topics I go elsewhere..or if I want a good debate..Here I like to have the brainless sort of fun..I have a real intense job and coming here to have a fluffy fun time, really helps me chill and relax and keep me on top of things when I need to be at work..But sometimes there are things that I don't find funny or is not my sense of humor. But I really make it a point not to look down on someone for their humor, even if its not mine. Everybodies different after all....I just don't participate in some threads if I don't think its funny.:) :hi:

[Zuiderelle]

19. "open mike night at the lobotomy clinic"

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

13. The lounge does have style!!1!!

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

:hi:

[trof]

16. You ain't the only one with a backhoe, ya know.

Somebody will just dig it up again so they can continue the floggings.
"Captain Bligh...sir. The man is dead."
"CONFOUND IT,MAN! The punishment is to be 50 lashes. Continue the flogging!"

[Mugu]

18. The problem with burying the hatchet

is that everybody knows where it's buried.

Regards, Mugu

[DS1]

20. kick

it needs it.

[Connonym]

21. We have a dead horse in the Lounge?

My head must be stuffier than I thought because I didn't smell it.

[buzzard]

22. Don't laugh but when we hooked up to sewers we uncovered a dead horse, I kept

the leg bone and attached horseshoe for fun.

[Connonym]

24. for fun or for kicks?

how's that for a groaner?

[KitchenWitch]

23. Which dead horse?

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. I think it's the one that's tied to my leg

[The Animator]

26. Style, humor, and art? Yes... it is.

Now that I am here, the Lounge is now officially, an art form.

Art is subjective, sometimes you like it, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you "get it" sometimes you don't.

Sometimes you think it's kitsch, sometimes you think it's a masterpiece.

Many times the artistic community will embrace a "talentless hack", at the same time shunning someone with stunning skill.

A sculpture is a sculpture whether you appreciate it or not. It doesn't matter if it was chiseled from marble, by DaVinci himself or if it was cobbled together from various colors of Play-Doh by you neighbor's 5 year old, it's still a work of art whether you think it's good or not.

I make my art for myself, a lot of artists do. If other people like what I create, that's great, if they don't, they are entitled to they're opinion... so long as they keep it too themselves in my presence... cause I'll shove my foot up their ass if they don't.

Good taste and Bad taste can never be definitively measured, because this too, is subjective. It depends entirely upon the individual, because only they can know what their tastes are.

Example:

Pev 1 is watching a porno. He fast forwards through the gangbang scenes, cause he thinks they're in poor taste.
Pev 2 likes the gangbang scenes but he thinks the anal scenes are in poor taste.
Pev 3 thinks the lighting is horrible, and the dialog is poorly written.
Pev 4 smacks Pev 3 in the back of the head and reminds him that he is watching "Backdoor Sluts 9" not "Lord of the Rings"
Pev 5 laughs at Pev 4's South Park reference
Pev 6 walks in and wonders why 5 guys are watching a porno together, and suggests that they all go to a strip club before things "get weird."

Pev 7 doesn't like pornography, he thinks it's evil, that it corrupts the soul and it was created by Satan himself... he would organize a protest of the local xxx store, but he's too busy fucking an alter boy.

See it's all a matter of individual taste. Some of you might have been completely offended by everything I just said. Tough shit, you've already read it, and everybody else thought it was hysterical.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

29. you are hysterical and guess what I find hysterical --

Walt Disney called. He is not impressed or amused.

I guess you eat Spam, too ;)

[DS1]

32. please stop rationalizing garbage

Any Chemistry folks out there? I've got a small mercury spill and need advice


Any Pakistani chefs out there? I've got one more curry spill and need advice
Any Astronomy folks out there? I took a small spill on Mercury and need advice
Any Roman Studies folks out there? I've got a small quiz on Mercury and need advice
Any Astrologer folks out there? I've got a small question on Mercury's alignment and need advice
Any Physicist folks out there? I've got a small thrill on Marie Curie and need advice
Any Anime folks out there? I'm looking for a Sailor Mercury costume and need advice

[The Animator]

37. I'm not rationalizing anything.

If an artist creates something, and deems it to be art, then it is art. Nothing that anyone else says or thinks after that will ever take that away. It doesn't have to be good. It could be complete and total crap. It is still art regardless of your opinion.

Cool pic by the way.

[krispos42]

38. ***AHEM***

<cough cough>

Any Mechanical people out there? I've got a small Mercury alignment problem...

[texanwitch]

27. There will always be dead horses to be beat.

As soon as you bury one another dead horse will appear.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

30. if you want to waste your time beating a dead horse

by all means go for it. I choose to move on.

[quakerboy]

28. BBQ time

[Tuesday Afternoon]

31. exactly! Quit beating the damn thing. Eat it and move

the fuck on.

[DS1]

33. Error: You've already recommended that thread.

damn

[Tuesday Afternoon]

36. Error: you can't recommend your own topics

;)

[Cannikin]

34. People have been trying to change lounge behavior the whole time I've been here. It's like...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. I reserve the right to NOT change it --

but, I am allowed to bitch, moan, kvetch and, carry on as much as the other whiners around here. I chose this subject to be my rant. DIG IT :headbang:

[Cannikin]

42. Right on!

[krispos42]

39. The horse is not dead

Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.

In business, however, it seems that we often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following:

1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Saying things like "This is the way we always have ridden this horse."
4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.
8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.
9. Comparing the state of dead horses in today's environment.
10. Change the requirements declaring that "This horse is not dead."
11. Hire contractors to ride the dead horse.
12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat."
14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
15. Do a CA Study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.
16. Purchase a product to make dead horses run faster.
17. Declare the horse is "better, faster and cheaper" dead.
18. Form a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.
19. Revisit the performance requirements for horses.
20. Say this horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.
21. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position

[In_The_Wind]

40. You know how cliques can be ~

some will continue to beat a dead horse but most will get on with living life.
