Anyone else shocked that their threads haven't been nominated

[JimmyJazz]

for the home page?

I mean, c'mon: "Dare or Dare" or "Do you wanna see my ass?" or my all time favorite: "I'm tired, will everyone who's awake please say g'night to me."

Jeez - what do I have to do????

[sundog]

1. absolutely not

I would be ashamed if one of my posts was nominated for the homepage... it would only show that du has really jumped the shark :P

[JimmyJazz]

3. I nominated your "worst commercial ever" thread, darling.

I hope it helps. :hi:

[sundog]

6. meh, I thank you -- my fan club

:7

[JimmyJazz]

7. Why, yes I am - even if I haven't really seen you

nekkid - my bad on that one :7

[sundog]

9. well, partially

if that's worth anything :P

[JimmyJazz]

12. HA! I knew that was you! You lied to me, didn't you?

:P

[Kenneth ken]

2. getting a thread nominated is easy

getting the mods/admins to put it on the front page - not so easy. :D

edit: I just nominated this thread, but will it get posted on the front page? I kinda doubt it.

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

5. Sure, sure - which of YOURS have been nominated?

BTW - I had to nominate the one about the humongous booger - do you think that will make it?

[Kenneth ken]

8. heck

I almost never even start threads, so probably none have been nominated - the few have mostly fallen to oblivion unread AFAIK.

My point was goofin' on your title, how do you even know whether your threads have been nominated or not, unless someone tells you?

:7

[JimmyJazz]

15. I dunno - I was just commenting that I've never made it to the home

page. Maybe I should try to be a little more in depth in my analysis of certain situations? :shrug: Or maybe I should have some more sambuca?

[Kenneth ken]

18. probably

the depth of analysis thing is what they're looking for.

So, I'd recommend the sambuca, and not stress over the whole thing :9

[JimmyJazz]

41. Why thank you for the suggestion. I think I might be a bit shallow

for the whole "home page" thing and all, but dammit - I've got my sambuca!

[mtnsnake]

76. What happened to that one?

the one about the booger. I can't find it.

[JimmyJazz]

87. I'm sure it got moved to the homepage by now

:7

[JimmyJazz]

10. Why thank you kind sir. I don't think it's gonna make either....

again, if I missed with "do you wanna see my ass?. " I don't think this one is gonna make it either. :cry:

[Bluzmann57]

4. Hell most of mine are nominated for obscurity

eom

[tyedyeto]

11. Jeez..I'm happy if I get 1 reply to a thread I start............

much less a nomination.

on second thought, even a reply to an answer to a thread I don't start.

I have the feeling sometimes that I'm invisible..................

[sundog]

14. don't sweat - we've all been there

see - a reply! :7

[tyedyeto]

19. thanx sundog!!!

:hi:

[sundog]

23. now where's that money you promised me?

:P

[JimmyJazz]

24. I knew you were easy - I'd heard that about you!

:P

[sundog]

27. of course - pure trash darlin'

:7

[JimmyJazz]

39. It's jsut one of the many things I lurve about you, darling!

Psst - are you ready to change teams yet? I'm kinda on stand by, if you are :7

[sundog]

42. lol

but alas... the proverbial question: who's the catcher & who's the pitcher? :shrug: :P

[JimmyJazz]

48. Oy - I dunno. I think we should consult the

"Switching Teams for Dummies" manual and find out? :shrug:

[sundog]

49. lmao

try www.switchingteams.com

I think they have a pdf dowload

[JimmyJazz]

53. Oh Yeah sundog, you're trying really hard to come over to my side

that "page cannot be displayed" Whewf - I can hardly take it...

[tyedyeto]

29. Lost it when * took control....LOL

Now I am amongst the working poor. :grr:

[sundog]

36. welcome to the club

sex'chal favors will do :P

[tyedyeto]

37. Been in the 'club' for 3 years now..........

which favors are ya talkin' about??? ;-)

[sundog]

40. has to do with

nekkid floor cleaning :crazy:

[JimmyJazz]

43. "scuse me sir - this is MY thread - would you kindly leave your

nekkidity out of it. I seriously doubt that "oh sundog is nekkid" is gonna get my thread nominated....

[sundog]

47. awww c'mooooon

It's my duty to give you a bad reputation -- running around with the wrong crowd & whatnot O8)

[JimmyJazz]

54. Wrong crowd? What are you suggesting - that I'm not that innocent?

[sundog]

60. no... more like:

[JimmyJazz]

62. How did you know????

That's my real chia pet hair, btw.

[tyedyeto]

56. Am I the 'wrong' crowd now???

naw.....you couldn't mean lil ol me :shrug:

[sundog]

59. well... I am the wronger crowd

so there1

:evilgrin:

[tyedyeto]

64. I live in an 'older' community (read: retired)

and when folks ask me if I've had a good day or week n I say yes.........so many of them say, 'I'm sorry'....

was I supposed to be 'bad'??

[sundog]

69. haha

I guess so

maybe they're pissed cause you're feeling good :7

[tyedyeto]

72. Some of these old folks are really kewl

They want to live the life of their 50's all over again thru anyone they come in contact with....The younger ones, they have nothing in common with.

Telling my age here.

[sundog]

83. no doubt

I love older folks who live life with nothing to lose

[tyedyeto]

88. down here we even have 'senior olympics'. exciting races....

cane 'saber' fights, walker-walker who can move the quickest, hearing aid contests (who can hear thunder? or who's talking to you?)

[JimmyJazz]

61. No - you aren't the wrong crowd. Sir Sundog was suggesting

a different person altogether! A scavery one perhaps?

[tyedyeto]

65. Scavery????????

got me there..huh?

[JimmyJazz]

70. You've been here since October and you don't know "scavery"

What is you, a freeper or something? Just kidding. It's our resident lounge stalker's favorite expression - just short of cromulent. What can I tell ya? He's a cromulent scavery lounge stalker with some really cute pups.

[tyedyeto]

81. LOL........

I hadn't heard either of those b4..........I may have only been registered since Oct. but lurked since the beginning of summer. Yep, I admit being a lurker.


(remember to tell brain not to ever forget scavery again!!)

[tyedyeto]

46. nekkid floor cleaning???

my floors need cleanin' but I ain't gonna do it nekkid.

now, nekkid laundry n dishes are another subject.........<blushing>

[sundog]

50. lol

:P

[tyedyeto]

57. c'mon.......

are ya up for some washing n drying fluff??? LOL ;)

edit for a sp goof

[JimmyJazz]

22. I'm sorry. Is there someone here????

You aren't invisible -- I can see you just fine and you look a lot like john lennon - wow! the resemblance is amazing.

[tyedyeto]

34. need to change that avatar one of these days....

but then..he's one of my 'heros'

[AlCzervik]

13. I just nominated yours.

:)

[JimmyJazz]

25. HEY! How the hell are you? I haven't seen you around in ages!

Happy New Year, sweetie :hi:

[AlCzervik]

28. I was sick for a week with the flu

happy new year to you too!

[JimmyJazz]

55. Ouch! I hope you are feeling better!

That's some nasty stuff!

[goodboy]

16. I'm shocked when someone replies to my posts or threads..so no.

[JimmyJazz]

30. It's your pithy comments that frighten potential posters away!

:7

At least that's what janesez told progmom who told cyndee_lou_who who told sundog who told me....to tell you...

[goodboy]

33. Is that because all of them have me on ignore already? BTW

I was being sarcastic,but I appreciate the compliment.

pithy:concise and full of meaning; "welcomed her pithy comments"; "the peculiarly sardonic and sententious style in which Don Luis composed his epigrams"

[EstimatedProphet]

17. I'm doing good to be able to come up with a thread subject

Getting them nominated is an exponential jump from there

[JimmyJazz]

31. Oh EP - Puleeze - you see how many threads I start. They scare

me to death. I'm always afraid I won't be validated :cry: How about you?

[EstimatedProphet]

35. Me? I see them drop off the front page in record time, 1-2 replies max

Feh. I've gotten used to it...

[goodboy]

121. I know how you feel, but nevermind, because I like hearing what you

have to say, and I make an honest effort to respond to you,. DU's a very "clique-y" place...like 7th grade.

[StopTheMorans]

20. not in the least, have you seen any of my threads?

:7

[AlCzervik]

21. i have "Banana boy" nuff said.

[StopTheMorans]

26. hey hey keep it down there grapesmuggler!

:P

[JimmyJazz]

32. I have nominated EVERY ONE OF YOUR THREADS, dude!

And I'm still wondering where my check is....

[StopTheMorans]

38. it's in the mail; keep an eye out for it...

[miss_kitty]

44. I was highly offended when my thread about a guy in England who

had a giant cock wasn't put up there.

[JimmyJazz]

52. I nominated THAT thread!!!! Jeez - what does it take to

get some attention and credit around here for the work we do? Us lounge lizards have feelings to, ya know! :cry:

[FuzzySlippers]

68. Could you please post that thread again, Miss Kitty?

I want to see that giant cock.

[JimmyJazz]

71. If she posts it, I triple dog dare you to nominate it!

:7

[FuzzySlippers]

78. Sure.....no problemo.

I can nominate it anonymously, can't I?

[JimmyJazz]

85. I dunno if nominations are anonymous.

Shit, I'm just a newbie here myself!

[FuzzySlippers]

92. Good God! I just looked at your profile.

Have you really only been a member since September 9th? And you have over 5000 posts? That's gotta be a record!

[JimmyJazz]

94. It's all Short Bus's fault - he chased me around for 2 months

straight - you can rack up a lot of posts that way. Seriously, if you post threads (which you never do, missy) you start to get some serious post counts from responding to people in your thread.

[FuzzySlippers]

99. Yeah, blame Short Bus.

It's easy to blame everything on him 'cause he's such a disreputable looking character.:P

[JimmyJazz]

100. Naw - he's kinda cute, in a scavery kinda way. Besides, it's not

nice to talk about the sleeping. Or something like that.

[miss_kitty]

105. Actually, I quit posting so much

I was way out in front of Miz Jimmy, until 2 days ago. An average of over 40 posts a day, but I've seen a few with way more.

[JimmyJazz]

110. Yes and we miss you terribly - please get back in the fray!

:* Please.

[miss_kitty]

116. I don't wanna-you know why. it's a black hole I throw time into.

I'm pissed at myself for posting so much today and I have more to post-also, I never posted that many threads. I'm one those who has been accused (perjoratively) of having 'an answer for everything!'

[miss_kitty]

102. Believed me, FuzzySlippers, I looked.

The archives are down, and it did not come on the Yahoo! search. I'll look around but I think we'll have to wait 'til the archives come back, dammit

[FuzzySlippers]

108. Well, thanks for looking miss kitty.

I'll try to be patient although I think the wait will be agonizing.:P

[FuzzySlippers]

45. I nominate all your threads.

Is it my fault the admins don't recognize what an asset you are to DU?

[JimmyJazz]

51. Thank you, FuzzySlippers. I knew you were my friend.

I mean seriously --- who can resist an "I love Joe Strummer" thread - that was your favorite, wasn't it?

Dammit - I suggest a petition to Skinner - that bulldog! Is he still on vacation?

[FuzzySlippers]

66. Ummmm.....Joe Strummer......yeah......that's the ticket.

:shrug:

And I'm sure Skinner is still on vacation. Isn't he always on vacation?

[Longgrain]

58. The most important thread in DU history...

And almost no one is responding to it...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2351846

[JimmyJazz]

63. I nominated it! Do you love me now?

Say yes, purty please, say yes....

[Longgrain]

67. Finally, Yesssss!

Someone noticed me...:loveya:

I don't have to keep hanging around the library with a book in my nose...

Sigh!

[JimmyJazz]

73. Get the book out of your nose so people can see your face!

Jeez!

[Longgrain]

79. PhFFFFFT!!!

Miss Jimmy...

Everyone's seen me!

Now show us your pretty mug!

[JimmyJazz]

86. You saw my mug in the picture thread -

but thanks for asking :7

[Longgrain]

90. I know I know!

Here's me again... not me really... just a characture...

[JimmyJazz]

91. I really do like your work.

a lot.

[Longgrain]

95. Okay then here's you...

Jus kidding BTW...

I just have tons of this crap on my computer...

Hope you don't mind...

[JimmyJazz]

98. I haven't worn glasses like those since the sixth grade!

[Longgrain]

106. But admit it....

IT is you...

You goober posser...taunting the rest of us shy, country folks with your deceitful, big-city talk!

[JimmyJazz]

107. shush your silly self and check your mail

:)

[FuzzySlippers]

74. A book in your nose?

Oooooh.....that sounds painful. Unless it's a really, really tiny book.
Or you have a really, really gigantic schnoz.

[Longgrain]

77. I'll shove a book up your nose

if you persisit!...

:P

[FuzzySlippers]

80. ALERT.....ALERT!!!!!!!

Longgrain's threatening me!!!!!

[Longgrain]

82. You asked for it lady Fuzz...

By calling me out with your interest in literature...

[lib_1138]

75. Tell me about it

[JimmyJazz]

84. That's it? That's your contribution to the home page nomination

page thread? Welcome to DU, anyway! :hi: :toast:

[Longgrain]

89. Time's up Mister Jazz

Where's your uber-vain photog shoot...

Lest I be tempted to flash my mug around here again...

[JimmyJazz]

93. What? You know I'm not "mister" - are you taunting me?

All you have to do is search for the thread - why do you want me to post it again?

[Longgrain]

96. Phffft!

Mister Jazz...have you been dressing up in woman's clothing again?

We all know you're a man...so fess up!

Lest everyone find out the truth about Longgrain...

:7

[JimmyJazz]

97. I post my pic and then what happens? This thing sinks like a stone?

[FuzzySlippers]

103. Hey Longgrain.! I posted a question in your ask me

something thread. Now go answer it!

[JimmyJazz]

111. 'scuse me??? There are threads other than mine taking place at

the moment??? Really. I thought my thread was the only one that mattered at the moment. Damn. I need new friends. :)

[FuzzySlippers]

114. It was just so pathetic.

It had sunk to page 2 even though Longgrain himself had kicked it about a dozen times. Hey, I'm a compassionate person. I'm not going to give that up for you.:P

[Longgrain]

113. I'm bored with that thread!

YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHn...

Now where's the picture FuzzySlippers?

I'm ready for bed...I need some sweet dreams to inspire me!

[FuzzySlippers]

115. The picture of what?

[Longgrain]

117. The picture of you silly!

pHHHHtttttt!

[FuzzySlippers]

119. Fraid that would give you nightmares.

:P

[alittlelark]

101. My 'What's this weird bump on my tongue' post rocked!!

It was ripped off by the uninformed DUers here of it's rightful place on the homepage!!!!!:cry: :cry:


:crazy:

[JimmyJazz]

104. Did ya bookmark the sucker? Post it here. I'll nominate it!!

I promise :7

[alittlelark]

109. I'll try to hunt it down for you!

[FuzzySlippers]

112. Did you ever find out what the weird bump

on your tongue was?

[alittlelark]

120. I got a LOT of responses........

It was a tiny pinkish-white spot - it went away about 7 days later (but it HURT). According to many DUers it was a form of herpes(?!), I got a # of other diagnoses as well. I just hope it NEVER returns!!!!!

[qnr]

118. No. But you'd be surprised what I *have* nominated for the welcome page

Thank goodness for the "Cancel" button

[kick-ass-bob]

122. I am! I thought this was a winner!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2355444

[JimmyJazz]

123. DaYum - I expect that one WILL actually make it to the front page!

I'm sure many people nominated it! :hi:

[youngred]

124. I was surprised when one of mine was

I'm not that good of a writer
