[WilliamPitt]

Clicked on the Boston.com site. Saw this:

world
IRAQ: Three car bombs kill 40 near Baghdad
VIETNAM : 38 bodies recovered after typhoon

Wretched serendipity.

[KoKo]

1. Yes??? YESSSSSSSS!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! AGHHHHHHH!!!

(sorry, Will, just had to do that) :D What are you talking about? :shrug: I know....I'm a little "slow."

[WilliamPitt]

7. Iraq and Vietnam in the same headline box

with body counts.

[Mr_Spock]

2. serendipitydooda!

world
IRAQ: Three car bombs kill 40 near Baghdad
VIETNAM : 38 bodies recovered after typhoon

'Tis a bit odd...

[KoKo]

3. Well....DAMMIT...spell it OUT for the Clueless amongst Us! n/t

[Richard D]

4. Is there some sort of occult numerology I'm missing?

[KoKo]

5. We don't know, yet... It's obscure. n/t

[KoKo]

6. tapping fingers...still waiting...Your Post will GO to DU ARCHIVES...soon.

please reply...What "connection" are we supposed to make from your post.

I'm pumping your post...waiting?

[nonconformist]

8. The two headlines are about deaths in Iraq and Vietnam

Iraq = Vietnam.

[KoKo]

9. Jeeze...we already KNEW Iraq = Vietnam...think Pitt must have something

else he's trying to say here. No?

Or, he's in his Boston Bar...and is "communing." :shrug:

Pitt.......PLEASE...Mods are going to move this to Lounge if you don't speak up soon. :-(

[WilliamPitt]

14. Jesus fucking Christ, Koko

Get a fucking hobby.

Iraq and Vietnam in the same headline box. Struck me strange, so I posted it. You bird-dog the thing like it's fucking holy writ.

Take a breath and move the fuck on.

[KoKo]

16. I do you a "favor"

and you "trash the shit out of me." Can we call it a truce?

[WilliamPitt]

17. A favor?

You are SO fucking strange.

[KoKo]

19. "Strange?" n/t

[nonconformist]

20. I think this is one of the most peculiar exchanges I've ever seen on DU.

[titoresque]

10. I get it

It would be like watching the "Situation Room" on CNN and on half a screen is a big picture of Bush and on the other half is a picture of Hitler, and Wolf is only talking about Bush...the Hitler pic is up just sitting there lingering on the sidelines.......but it's hard to just listen to Wolf talk about Bush and not think of Hitler.

[KoKo]

12. Red Sox are collapsing...Boston is fretting...

It could be a "bar post." We've all been there and done that. We should have sympathy/empathy.

[WilliamPitt]

15. Insert curse here

Use your imagination.

Freak.

[KoKo]

24. Okay...

Freak? I got it. If you are calling "ME" one...Forget it...

But, if it's what I said..then okay...no problem. I understand.

Edited to insert an "r" in Freak which I "typoed as "feak."

[annabanana]

11. poor Will

doomed to have his every musing dissected to bits..

I get the jangly sensation from that box too..

[KoKo]

13. Well...I don't know about that...but I keep pumping his post hoping he

will find time to get back to us here? :shrug:

[Mutley]

18. Dude. Lay off. He did explain it to you.

Relax.

[KoKo]

22. Clarity of posts on DU is important.. I still am waiting for Analogy?

:shrug: What's important about: "jeeze..."

Edited: for "quotation marks around "jeeze"

[nonconformist]

26. Ok, it's passed the point of being peculiar now...

:wtf:

[WilliamPitt]

35. Security. Security!

[redwitch]

28. Settle down fella

or girlie. It's the quagmire connection. no more, no less. no need to get so excited.

[Mutley]

30. He was just making a little observation.

There are plenty of posts on DU that I don't understand, but I usually just move on to something else instead of harassing the OP.

[KoKo]

27. ummmm...could you explain the explanation for us "clueless/stupido's?"

That's all I was asking.

For the "newbies" and all the rest. Is that TOO MUCH to ask? :shrug:

[annabanana]

31. are you enjoying yourself?

[Mutley]

32. No. Asking for clarification is not too much to ask...

But "tapping fingers..." and "I'm waiting!" is just rude.

[WilliamPitt]

43. Koko asking for clarity in posts

is like...I don't even have an analogy.

Like a very loud noise going "Shhh!"

Case in point: "Yeah...well dude...we sortta got that one...chewing gum..like Vietnam"

Post title.

Should I make repeated demands for clarity?

;)

[Shakespeare]

44. It's bees. n/t

[WilliamPitt]

45. Of course!

How could I forget.

[Mutley]

46. Gee, Will. I don't know what you mean.

Why don't you clarify for me?




Hello?!?! I'm waiting!!!




Tap tap tap.




Hey, why are you jumping all over me like that?




:rofl:

[WillyT]

21. Hey Will... Ya Ever Feel Like You're Being Stalked ???

:hide::evilgrin::hide:

:rofl:

BTW - I got your meaning, and yeah... it is surreal.

Peace

:hi:

[cry baby]

25. You mean like Cindy "stocked" the prez?

[Mutley]

34. THIS IS HUGH!!!11!!!! WIll is being STOCKED!!11!! I'm SERIES!!!11!!

[nonconformist]

47. On the off chance that Will has a pet rabbit

He should hide it RIGHT NOW.

[Mutley]

50. SERIESLY!!!11!!!!!

[unrepuke]

23. ...jeez... -- LOL, Will titled this one right

Jeez-Oh, Pete! Jeez, Louise!

[spanone]

29. It's feeling a lot like 1969 again. We've learned so little.

[KoKo]

33. Yeah...well dude...we sortta got that one...chewing gum..like Vietnam

yeah...we on the Left have been out marching and supporting Cindy and all of it because WE KNEW it WAS Vietnam REDUX....:shrug:

Edit: one "r" out and a "t" in.

[spanone]

39. gee, I thought I was on the left too.

[Fleshdancer]

36. this thread contains the oddest responses to the OP

What about the original post is difficult to understand? Pitt went to Boston.com. On that site there was a headline regarding the car bombs near Baghdad. There was another (completely different story) about the recent typhoon in Vietnam. These stories suck because innocent people are dead.

Is this really not obvious or is it just fun to fuck with Pitt today?

[WilliamPitt]

37. And

having Iraq and Vietnam in the same box. We've been conflating the two for a while ("Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam") and there it was.

And the thread apparently crashed into someone desperately in need of a hobby, a massage, or a soothing pill. Or all three.

I recommend stamp collecting and Xanax, but that's just me.

[KoKo]

38. Trashing those who ask you to explain a post...Attack, Attack...

is not the usual DU Protocol.

But, "Bar Room Brawls" might be a "let off of steam" and I've no problem with that...except for the "personal attacks, Will." :shrug:

[Mutley]

40. .

:popcorn:

[WilliamPitt]

42. You accused me of being drunk in a bar

and repeatedly blew past explanations...

You know what? Fuck this. Talking to you is, has always been, and will always be like talking to a goddam coffee table.

[demobabe]

41. Did you see the one on Jon Stewart last night...

...where Hurricane Katrina looked just like an unborn fetus before it hit New Orleans?

Wretched synchronicity... ;)

ed. spelling

[Rex]

48. History has a tendency to repeat itself

because humans are shortsighted and greedy. Stupid monkeys.

[donheld]

49. A little too ironic

Strange indeed.

[pinto]

51. Locking.

Just a bumper car lock, here.

Thanks for your consideration.
