The above subject line summarizes my feelings perfectly, and is applicable to my attitude towards Woods even before his current scandal.

I feel the same way. I get burned out on celebrates pretty quickly, even the ones I like and defend sometimes.
Just not much into the sports hero thing. I would rather people that do worthwhile things to be the ones that make the money and get a little of the attention.

Where did these olive garden and corn flake chicken jokes come from? I see these often and have no clue where they came from? :shrug:

4. Once upon a time someone posted a recipe for fried chicken in the lounge |
|
and suggested using corn flakes instead of bread crumbs. You wouldn't believe the flamewar that ensued. Same thing happened when someone admitted to eating at the Olive Garden.

8. I can't believe I'm posting this, |
|
but even the DU lounge, at its worst, does not dogpile on somebody just for admitting that they ate at the Olive Garden. Click below for the whole story, and do it quickly, lest our intrepid mods delete my post. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5279955

Allow me to explain.
That was not a real flame war. Or that is to say, neither myself or the other party involved gave one shit about how chicken is fried or with what.
It was a continuation of the GD 2004 primaries flame wars into the Lounge. The criticism of frying chicken with cornflakes was just passive-aggressive primary battling gone awry. It was stupid and wrong, but it was also not really about fried chicken and cornflakes. It was fake outrage such as, "You fry chicken with CORN FLAKES? WTF?" or "You're fucking kidding! That's NOT how you fry chicken..." etc. But it was TOTAL and UNADULTERATED bullshit.
I was part of that misunderstood fiasco, and I take my lumps. I long ago apologized to the wronged party.
The fact that an entire DU myth has evolved as a result of that bullshit is a perfect example of how people will believe ANYTHING as long as the lie keeps repeating long enough. Every time it comes up, I explain this again and again, and STILL the myth persists.
So you newbies reading this: don't believe it for a second. No one in the history of DU ever gave a shit about how chicken is fried.

18. I coat mine with Nyquil and ground-up Rolaids |
|
And only the GREEN NyQuil.
Mint Rolaids usually - but when adventurous, the fruit-flavored kind.

I seen the Olive Garden thread and it wasn't as bad as I imagine but it was a little much.
Normally I've been hiding every Tiger Woods thread that has appeared(It has to be at least 30-50 seriously) but for some reason I was curious enough to check this thread out. :crazy: :hi:

21. As for the Olive Garden flame wars |
|
I stayed COMPLETELY out of those. I do think they're authentic flame wars, however. But I steered CLEAR.
I haven't been involved in a real flame war since the infamous one I started on race car kiddie shopping carts some 6 or 7 years ago. :D

23. Those shopping carts shaped like race cars |
|
They're a fine idea - but in the wrong parental hands, they are a grocery aisle logistical clusterfuck waiting to happen. Especially when the clueless dolt parent just blithely meanders down the aisle not paying attention, and her kid is SCREECHING NON-STOP at the top of his precious little lungs.
But I digress.

People (who are no longer here, unless they have sockpuppets) used that stupid corn flake chicken thread as an excuse to bait me - hoping I would go after them and get myself banned (I am not that stupid, although I have my moments). We're talking arrested development by those assholes. They stalked me from thread to thread, and etc. etc. It didn't work, but they spammed and stalked enough that Skinner got tired of their crap, and inadvertently posted one of the funniest threads of all time.
But the original thread was itself, phonier than a Rush Limbaugh oxycontin prescription.

Sorry, had to. And I do support him and hope that he eventually retrieves his privacy (yes, I have compassion for his wife and kids as well).

If he is as much of a ho'dog as what has been said of him, than why did he think all these women would keep quiet? Someone would have blabbed eventually.
