Do unto others? (unless they are from GD)

[canetoad]

GD was down, the junkies needed a tiny corner, a safe haven, a humble room to rest their weary typing fingers. Did the residents of the lounge welcome them with open hearts and minds? Like hell they did.

Give succour to the homeless? My arse!

[Cirque du So-What]

1. Every dog has its day

When the lounge crashes, we'll return the favor :evilgrin:

[BlooInBloo]

73. Excellent Flogging Molly song.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. What?

First I think you're praising the Lounge, then it looks like you're tearing it down...

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

4. Nice post Hitler.

:D

[WritingIsMyReligion]

8. You fuckin' tool--get back in the Lounge.

What does any of this have to do with global warming? :grr:

[AlCzervik]

9. i'm breastfeeding right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

12. Are you in the Olive Garden?

And that better not be a cigarette jutting from between your lips. Fucking child-killer.

[AlCzervik]

16. damn right it is, my pitbull lit it for me.

:D

[WritingIsMyReligion]

17. I bet you circumsized him, too, and used him as a slave.

Why do you hate America?

[Gabi Hayes]

63. I love that picture! I'll have to see if I can scan one of him I have on

a postcard.



my brother recorded a Miami Vice episode with Miles. ever seen that?

and as far as Steely Dan:

Cold. Daring.
No Flies on me.
Sorry, angel.
I just take what I see.

[Toasterlad]

3. I Never Trusted Those Lounge People. Not For a Minute.

[Bjornsdotter]

42. Odd that

...I don't trust my toaster.

Why do you hate America?

[Toasterlad]

52. You Are Right to Mistrust Your Toaster.

There are plans in the works, SCHEMES, if you will, that will lead to the...excuse me, I've said too much.

[Bjornsdotter]

54. I knew it

...I just knew it! Now that's it's confirmed I will begin the "removal"

:toast:

[iverglas]

56. don't let them breed

[Bjornsdotter]

59. Omg!

I love Red Dwarf!

Very funny....:toast:

[iverglas]

61. the next generation

I gave my 20-yr-old nephew season 1 for his birthday a few months ago, and he is whining and wheedling for when he'll get the next one. They're smegging expensive!

Meanwhile, I'm taping Little Britains for him, and waiting for Red Dwarf to come back around on BBCKids ...

[Bjornsdotter]

62. I've never seen Little Britains

...I'll have to look for it.

:toast:

[iverglas]

65. it's singular ;)

I'm just taping more than one of them. ;)

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=little+britain&search=Search

if links to search results don't work, just put little britain in the search box at youtube, and be prepared to be there a looong time.

If you happen to be an East Enders fan, there is a total hoot scene where Charlie Slater joins the Fat Fighters group ... but I fear I wander too far off into BBCphilia ...

If you like what you see of Little Britain, it's available on DVD.

Well, that's amazon.ca, so your results will vary, but it looks to be cheaper than Red Dwarf. Sheesh. You can get the complete RD collection at BBCCanadashop for a mere $286.98.

Christmas comes!

[Bjornsdotter]

68. Doh!

...I'm an idiot.

I'm certainly going to search this out, I love the BBC. My new fav is the Robin Hood series, oh and that one (can't think of the name)with the actor who plays Lucius Malfoy. I'm really having a brain fart tonight.

:toast:

[Raven]

5. I wouldn't have welcomed us either.

GD is a pretty brutal place at times. The Lounge is a haven. People are nice and relatively polite to one another there. GD went down? Too bad!

[EFerrari]

31. It's pretty telling when we wouldn't welcome ourselves.

lol

[TomInTib]

6. Man, I cannot even bear to go over there.

Even though I never attended school, I imagine that the Lounge resembles a middle-school lunch room.

Sort of like MySpace or something.

Maybe I am just old.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. I can assure you that somedays it does indeed.

But then again, GD frequently resembles a cesspool caught on fire, so I'm not sure what it matters. :D

[TomInTib]

45. I tend to trend away from those things.

Cesspools, I mean.

Except for when I am really wasted.

Kinda like the last chick in the bar at 2AM.

That reminds me, I am supposed to see the doctor this afternoon.

[SteppingRazor]

18. The Lounge is full of decent, progressive Americans -- WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?!

:popcorn:

[Blue-Jay]

30. Then don't.

snooty-ass.

[DS1]

39. no

that's bad-ass ex-con Richard Marcinko has a poster of me in his bedroom snooty-ass

:yoiks:

[Shakespeare]

47. But weren't you just in the lounge posting about the eclipse?

I thought things were pretty mature and informative in that thread; it's no different than GD in that you learn quickly which threads interest you, and which don't (and which will piss you off).

:shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

49. Shhhhh!

;)

[TomInTib]

58. I was.

I just knew someone there would know the answer.

That is the only time I have ever started a thread there.

And I watched the eclipse from one of my decks (I live 100 feet over SF Bay) and it was beautiful.

OK, maybe I will try and have a more open mind about the Lounge.

[wildhorses]

7. heehee

you said succor ;)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. LOL

GD's filled with all sorts of nutjobs and cranks and Greyhound passengers, everybody knows it, and I'm guessing this thread's going to be proving Lounge's point.

[EFerrari]

20. My brother Greyhound passengers rub their collective nose

at this calumny. And no, you can't have my seat -- I don't care if you're holding a baby, a grocery bag and a chicken.

lol

[MichaelHarris]

13. I made the mistake

of going into one of their restrooms. I heard disco music behind every stall door.

[EFerrari]

14. LOL

:rofl:

[Reciprocity]

24. Gee and all I heard was some guy in the next stall tapping his foot.

[MrScorpio]

15. Up yours, Dipswitch

It was just a little payback

[madrchsod]

19. i bet the lounge does not have

in depth discussions on bathroom manners...no it`s porn 24-7

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. Where does this porn idea come from?

I'm an under-eighteen in the Lounge, and I've never seen porn there.

:crazy:

[EFerrari]

23. Classic cat porn film, thank you very much. n/t

[canetoad]

25. Don't knock cat porn

[Gabi Hayes]

64. STOP this now!

[canetoad]

75. You leave me no choice

[lost-in-nj]

26. Yeah

but it was a GD'r who first mentions it in this thread....

:rofl: :rofl:

lost

[billyoc]

21. We're not laughing AT you,

we're laughing NEAR you. :rofl:

[hootinholler]

27. IBTMMITTL

In before the mods move it to the lounge

-Hoot

[canetoad]

28. Damn!

Was it the cat?

[hootinholler]

32. Nope, just the nature of the beast...

The cat didn't help :D

I mean, I can understand how lounge lizerds would be upset, how many posts are moved from the lounge to GD?

-Hoot

[EFerrari]

29. That's how they get us.

:shrug:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

33. Oh God You've Got To Be Kidding.

This is just a taddddddd childish, no?

:nopity:

[canetoad]

34. Naaaah

More an overall comment on the 'not in my backyard' people.

[In_The_Wind]

35. Your arse?

You musta picked the wrong threads to visit.

[canetoad]

36. The rounded thing

between my legs and my back.

[In_The_Wind]

37. I thought that was your

taint.

[DS1]

38. And they should have done so because?

[canetoad]

41. You have no idea

how much I dislike those 'finish the sentence for me' questions, ending with a whining, rising-inflection 'because'. Soooo last century. (get the irony?)

....because it was drawing a parallel between what people say they believe in, such as helping the homeless, social justice etc. and how they actually behave when faced with the situation themselves. A think globally/act locally example.

[DS1]

51. And much like Richard Perle's idea of the Iraq invasion, you probably still

have no idea why the open arms and flowers never appeared. :)

[canetoad]

53. Right, now I understand perfectly

The loungers are Iraq and the GDers are the invading superpower who torture and displace. :rofl:

[DS1]

70. No, it's a metaphor

A lost art in GD

;)

[rucky]

40. It didn't used to be so cliquish. n/t

[rug]

43. We were afraid you'd use our bathrooms

and do strange things.

[canetoad]

44. LOL

Bingo.

[philosophie_en_rose]

46. You come to our house. You eat our food. You pee on our carpet.

What do you want? A cookie?

:rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

57. And that carpet really held the room together

This aggression will not stand, man!

[philosophie_en_rose]

78. exactly.

And GD makes DU's butt look big. :)

[LSK]

48. the 1st rule about the Lounge

Is to not talk about the Lounge.

:D

[KitchenWitch]

50. Had no idea the denizens of GD had even paid us a visit.

I surely would have popped the popcorn!

[Bjornsdotter]

55. We could have even

...bounced a bit early. ya know...for company and all.

:toast:

[KitchenWitch]

77. For sure!

I miss just about everything around here!

[Left Is Write]

60. I didn't either.

[sniffa]

66. um, yeah

:eyes:

i don't even hang out in the Lounge much; i mainLy post and read in GD and GDP, yet some douchebags teLL me at Least every other day to go back to the Lounge.

but here's a hug for your struggLes. :hug:

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

67. I posted a plot to forcibly take over DU.

How's that for kind and welcoming?

[Coexist]

69. the Lounge scares me

I'm not that witty. They will make fun of me.

[philosophie_en_rose]

71. Your Lounge envy is noted and will be published in our newsletter.

:rofl:


:loveya:

[Coexist]

72. see what I mean?!

:rofl:

[BlooInBloo]

74. I think it's scary too - I'm really only comfortable in GD.

[canetoad]

76. That's cos

you are loved and wanted here.

[Dr. Strange]

79. I'm locking this thread...

because the Lounge rules. And frankly, GD smells funny.

[Bluebear]

80. After 2 big months of membership? Away with you!

:)
