What will you do when GDP shuts down next week?

[Mooney]

I'm going to increase my pot smoking and listen to a lot more Iron Maiden.

Either that or I'm going to join the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force.

I can't decide.

[TK421]

1. Celebrate....this place has been a miserable fucking cesspool for too long, now

good fucking riddance to it

[emilyg]

6. Amen.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Weep for joy.

If I had any pot I might do that too.

[Mooney]

5. If you don't have any real drugs you can always just sniff glue.

[Jackpine Radical]

14. I tried that.

Then I had to mouth breathe for several days because my nostrils were stuck shut. Everybody thought I had converted to Republicanism because of the mouth breathing.

I sniffed coke once too, but the bubbles felt awful when they got into my nose.

[TexasProgresive]

3. Ditto what TK421 says-

I wanted to hide GDP but that's not permitted-BAH humbug! be glad when this cesspool is pumped out and backed filled with clean dirt.

[Ikonoklast]

4. Kill a puppy.

It has about the same effect on me as some of the hatefulness, so I won't get the DT's so bad from sudden withdrawal.

[Lucky 13]

7. This election has caused me to increase my pot smoking already...

... I'll be feeling much more relaxed once I hear a concession speech.

[Maddy McCall]

8. This forum won't "shut down," but will be renamed GD:Politics.

It'll still be here, but it'll have a different goal.

And thank god the nastiness will be forced to cease--this forum is an embarrassment to DU.

[Mooney]

10. It may be an embarrassment to DU, but I've never been able to stay away.

So I really have to look at it as "shutting down." I need it to be taken away from me.

[OzarkDem]

21. For the "newbies"

its always been here in the form of GD Politics. DU has always had a forum for frank discussion of politics. Unlike other forums who sold their integrity for Obama, DU has kept an open discussion on the topic.

[Mooney]

24. I was here in 2003 and 2004, so technically I'm not a "newbie."

GD Politics has never been as no-holds-barred hostile as GD Primaries has been for the last few months. Shit, even GD Primaries in 2004 wasn't as no-holds-barred hostile as GD Primaries has been for the last few months.

[Melinda]

28. Pssst, OD is on a "newbie" tear tonight for some reason. I think a few HRC supporters are feeling...

down, and it shows in strange ways.

[OzarkDem]

29. I agree, its been a bad primary season

but DU has always left GDP open to lots of political brawling.

OTOH, there has been some very positive results from this primary. Dem women have had their consciousness raised and are now much more motivated to move the party in a new direction.

[Melinda]

27. GD_Politics came into being in 2004. Prior to that we had a simple GD only.

1) GD only until primaries of 2004
2) GD-Primaries 2004
2) GD-Politics after 2004 primaries and until
4) GD-Primaries 2008

Or at least that's my recollection.

[Phillycat]

32. That is correct.

Here since 2001. Your recollection is correct.

[Melinda]

33. Thanks... I've been here for 6+ years myself, but as I age, I find I'm losing my mind.

Or do I mean my memory... :freak:

Oh dear, well -- if you happen to find either one, would you be so kind as to pm it this way?

Thanks for that, and thanks for the verification!! :hi:

[PBS Poll-435]

9. Get work done. At work.

[JohnnyLib2]

11. I will recommend both chemo and radiation.

And be concerned about the prognosis anyway.

[crankychatter]

12. I will go to Craigslist so I can get flagged for incendiary Anti-McCain posts

my therapist recommended it

[silverojo]

13. Pot smoking?

How 1970's-living-in-your-parents-basement "cool", LOL.

Me, I'll be doing something a lot more here and now: Surfing the internet more!

[Mooney]

15. My parents didn't have a basement.

[Condem]

16. go to www.democraticunderworld.com!

[juajen]

17. Breathe a huge sigh of relief. NT

[Occam Bandage]

18. Hang out in GD:2008, or whatever it's called.

[PermanentRevolution]

19. Find the closest equivalent experience...

Right now, I'm leaning towards hiring two strangers to stand in my living room and scream at each other at the top of their lungs while hitting me over the head with a rubber mallet. This will be accented nicely by a pair of competing strobe-lights and loud static blasted at full-volume from my stereo.

[juajen]

20. Breathe a huge sigh of relief. NT

[cliffordu]

22. I guess it's back to bicycle porn for me....

[damntexdem]

23. Oh, thank goodness -- it's not the Gross Domestic Product that is shutting down.

:-)

[QC]

25. I suspect a lot of people will return to their usual discussion board. n/t

[Mooney]

26. My usual discussion board has never been the laff riot that this place was.

You could see a good 10 train wrecks a day here. No other site comes close. No other DU forum even comes close.

[billyoc]

30. Back to my marxist agitprop.

[Arugula Latte]

31. I hear tell there's this thing called "a life." I'm gonna get me one-a them!

:woohoo:
