Can Someone explain "Moran" To Me.

[NoStinkinBadges]

I'm new and wondering why "moron" is always spelled "moran" here?

Must be a funny story explaining this.

1. Freeper intelligence sample

It came from this shining bastion of conservative thought.

5. how did you find this pic so fast?

Is it your desktop pic?
:P

[ET Awful]

8. No, I have it on my own webspace :)

It's not hard to remember when it's at www.etawful.com :)

[kick-ass-bob]

12. I guess not!

I tried googling, unsuccessfully...

[tjwmason]

31. I'm just surprised that he can spell U.S.A. n/t

7. Ah.. ok

I've never seen that picture before.

[Droopy]

3. LOL! You guessed right!

Somebody will come along and post the picture. You will have a good laugh. I don't know how to post pictures or I would get it for you.

11. Yep. Funny.

Thanks. That splains it.

[ET Awful]

14. That description needs to be amended . . .

"The name of the person holding the sign is unknown."

should be amended to read

"The name of the person holding the sign, and the mental institution from which he escaped are unknown."

[Lavender Brown]

15. You should edit it to say that

:D

[ET Awful]

17. Nah, knowing the reich-wing nutjobs the guy would file one of those

frivolous slander lawsuits against Skinner :)

30. Hey I take exception to that description...

St. Charles is NOT a suburb of St. Louis, for crying out loud. We are outside St. Louis County, and accross a river between us and St. Louis. We are our own city, one that is as old as St. Louis.

[pstokely]

37. St Charles is an "exurb" of St. Louis

10. Welcome to DU

I had the same question when I first joined.

:hi:

[NoStinkinBadges]

13. Perhaps a FAQ for Newbies would help.

[ET Awful]

19. The Demopedia link has what you need :)

Very good info up there.

[NoStinkinBadges]

22. Just looked there. Thanks

I was cautious on going there because it said BETA. Once years ago I tried something with BETA and my computer crashed and it took days to get it fixed again.

[ET Awful]

23. Beta websited are way different than beta software :)

Don't worry about it. Unlike beta software, it's not copying anything to your machine :)

[kick-ass-bob]

20. I think that is what demopedia can do.

Plus more...

[KitchenWitch]

25. This link may be helpful

http://dug.amystrange.com/

Has a glossary of sorts about the terms used on DU.

16. I've been told

that the guy in the picture is not really a moron. He was protesting against a person whose last name is Morans.

[NoStinkinBadges]

18. Yeah, Right.

Someone give that guy a mirror.

[kmla]

21. Yeah. He really hates the girl who played Joanie Cunningham...

Erin Moran

Just despises her.

Sad, when you think about it.

[ET Awful]

24. Well, I can't blame him for that . . . but i despise Chachi even more :)

:evilgrin:

[pissedoffdem]

26. some dumbass pro-war guy on FR...

[Droopy]

28. Welcome to DU, pissedoffdem

:toast:

[pissedoffdem]

32. thx very much I can't believe this nationalistic bullshit

on cspan :(

:hi:

[rocktivity]

27. I might as well get in on the action, too!

Here's my copy, LOL!

33. The fat little troll next to him is a nice touch. (especially when

compared to the Iraqi children)
The internet is an awesome communication tool but unfortunately, pics like this are seen around the world as well.
Oh well, it's not as embarrassing as crawford's village idiot.

[Tweed]

29. Moran is a proud Irish name, it pisses me off

Just because some Freeper can't spell that proud Irish name gets mocked. Unfair I say.

[Left Is Write]

35. The name isn't being mocked; only the Freeper who seems to embody

the collective intelligence of his Freeper pals.

[NoStinkinBadges]

34. LOL.

What did I start? What's the deal with all the copycat posts?

[motely36]

36. Just people having fun

Get used to it they happen a lot!

Welcome to DU! :)
