Introverted DUers: Post your burning questions about ultrahip DUers here!

[iconoclastic cat]

A few of mine:
-Why doesn't MrScorpio open his bar on Sundays?
-Is Skittles as loud in person as she is on DU?
-Is HeyHEY really from Canada?
-How does Lorien get all that fur off her pants before going to work?


Don't be shy! No cool people read my posts anyway.

[candy]

1. If I do that they won't like me!

[iconoclastic cat]

2. HA!

You nailed it! I'm glad to see that you have been paying attention.

[Glenda]

3. I'd like to know if the cool people are as cool offline

as they are online!

Or is this all a clever ploy to get us to worship them?

Also, can we eat at their lunch table?

[iconoclastic cat]

4. You may sit there only if you promise not to wear that sweater again.

People have been talking, Glenda.

[Shananigans]

5. I may not have any questions, but I suspect that

- MrScorpio is spending too much time in church on Sundays to open the bar
- Skittles is actually an extremely introverted librarian by day, who often goes weeks at a time without actually speaking to anyone in person
- HeyHey is probably from Texas, but he's too embarassed to admit that he hails from the home state of W, so he pretends to be doing some kind of radio gig in a foreign country (it just happens to be Canada now)
- Lorien has a HUGE vacume cleaner to walk through both before and after leaving the house to de-fur. (Did you know it could suck the hair right off a human if you stood under it long enough)

I have no proof of this, but these are my suspicions. ;)

[iconoclastic cat]

6. Yeah, I've always kinda suspected that HeyHEY was sort of DU's

equivalent of the "Canadian Girlfriend."

And damn, I need one of those vacuum portals!

[tigereye]

62. no, Hey Hey is definitely not from Texas

wait til he see this, oh boy.

cool lizard pic BTW.


What qualifies as being a hip poster BTW? ;)

[Shananigans]

63. Nope, I think HeyHey IS from Texas.

He is hiding behind the border farce. It's all good. Now that the secret is out he can live in peace.

Did you know that Skinner is actually not the DU administrator either? The Bush administration pays him to give us liberals a place to vent so that we don't get so overheated that we actually do things like protest and stuff. Isn't that just crazy. Don't ask me how I know that...it's top secret. Absolutely confidential information. So don't tell anyone I told you. And don't tell anyone else on DU either. They might spread the word. And obviously, don't tell Skinner I told you.

;)

[tigereye]

68. it's tin foil time

la, la, la, la. ;)

we'll just wait and let Hey Hey give you chapter and verse.

[Shananigans]

69. Sweetie, I've been around since the beginning...

I am the queen of both Tin Foil AND the little known secrets of Saran Wrap (but you may not have heard about that one yet).

Trust me...I know a Texan when I see one.

[tigereye]

70. snort

:hi:

[Shananigans]

72. "Snort, snort"

;)

[KitchenWitch]

80. Duct tape

don't forget duct tape with all that saran wrap and tinfoil.

[Shananigans]

89. Crap...what was I thinking.

What would we do without you, KitchenWitch?!!!

[Longgrain]

7. I guess I'm a quasi-hip poster, but I'm also shy

As I've noted time and time again...so I don't know what you mean?

Some people have been here longer than others, and they just know how to say the right things...

There's a few of the "Oh so elite" crowd I often wonder about, such as do they even know me?

Just asking...:shrug:

[iconoclastic cat]

8. I was just working some half-assed satire.

And as for "knowing" you, I'd say that your contributions have been such that I'm sure that most regulars do, in fact, know you.

[Longgrain]

9. Thank you

sometimes I feel that I go unnoticed...really.

[wryter2000]

18. Hi, Longgrain

I love your rice. (Hint: Not Condoleezza.)

[Longgrain]

46. Hi wryter

My rice is wild!:hi:

[sundog]

10. everyone knows

the outcasts are always the coolest people to hang with ;)

[JimmyJazz]

12. That's why I keep you around, darling!

:P

[sundog]

14. haha

there you are! :hug:

Get out of this thread you boo! You're too popular to be here :P

[JimmyJazz]

23. But....but....I lurve you! Can't I stay and hang out with you for a while

longer? Please.... :hug: to you, too - you saxy thang!

[all.of.me]

84. right on!

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. What about me? No questions about me?

Bastards.



worship me

[iconoclastic cat]

15. Oh, we have questions for you, all right.

We will learn what we want to know one molar at a time.

[Tsiyu]

13. Is matcom a blond?

Is Jimmy Jazz really a high level CIA operative?

Does ZombyWoof suck his toes?

Is Cuban Liberal just a freakin' rum freak?

Does Longgrain have dimples?

HAs Night Train found the woman of his dreams( or at least a close facsimile)?

A few of my burning questions

On edit: Does Rabrrrrrrrrrr know?

[iconoclastic cat]

19. Shocking allegations!

I do know this: Night Train has BECOME the woman of his dreams.

Here he is:

[Tsiyu]

25. That is precious

or something

[iconoclastic cat]

29. Thanks for the Pitt-ism. That makes this lame-ass farce complete!

:evilgrin:

[Tsiyu]

33. Anytime, cat eom

[JimmyJazz]

37. Dayum! how did you know? I was trying to keep it a secret!

BTW - does that put me on the "hip" list? 'Cause I'm a major D-O-R-K in real life!

[iconoclastic cat]

50. We knew because you, like Sidney Bristow,

cannot seem to get your shit together lately! And, frankly, you are becoming a liability.

[Tsiyu]

54. Yes, JimmyJazz must be "disappeared" for the good of all

She's going to go public with all of our secrets. Don't let that DORK facade fool you, peeps...

(Jess kiddin' JJ. .....puff.....puff....pass.....:smoke: )

[Longgrain]

56. Do I have dimples?

You tell me...

[Tsiyu]

65. No Fair!

Partridge Family Alert!

[Longgrain]

66. I'm IN Woopie!

I just knew the Susan Dey pic would get me past the bouncers!

[Shananigans]

71. If you must know...

Again, my highly educated answers:

-JimmyJazz is actually a high level FBI operative. She used to work for the CIA, but after years of "La Femme Nikita" type work, she just needed something more relaxing. Now she just shoots at Terrorists from the top of the Sears Tower.

-ZombyWoof, although able to suck his toes, does not make a habit of doing it. He tries to stick to more practical human tricks, such as licking his elbow.

-Cuban Liberal does enjoy a shot of rum now and then. Something is telling me that he is more of a Margarita man, though. I could be wrong, but that hasn't happened yet.

- Longgrain does have dimples. We are not allowed to tell you what area of his body they are located on, though. It is classified information. If I tell you, I will have to shoot you repetitively with a paint gun.

- Nightrain has not met the woman of his dreams. However, I have heard a rumor that he has BECOME the woman of his dreams. This rumor has yet to be confirmed.

- And Rabrrrrrrrr....well, Rabrrrrrrr DOES know. Actually, Rabrrrrrr knows everything. Didn't you know?

[Tsiyu]

79. Y'know,? I didn't know. Y'know?

But thank you Shananigans.

I can FINALLY sleep at night. Whew! :silly:

[wryter2000]

16. Okay

Here's my question...What is hip?

[iconoclastic cat]

20. You know, like, coooooolville.

[ulysses]

21. whatever it is, it might become passe.

;-)

[wryter2000]

60. Sometimes hipness is...

...what it ain't.

Niiice!

[Longgrain]

53. If you've ever used the word

Zorch...you're hip!

[wryter2000]

61. Oh, wow

I've never been zorched before. Be gentle.

[Longgrain]

77. Then that's my new word!

ZORCH!

[CubsFan1982]

17. I haven't been here long enough to be remotely near ultrahip!

:D

[iconoclastic cat]

51. But you're burnin' it up at Clark and Addison!

[CubsFan1982]

52. Oh, you know it, baby.

:P

[Placebo]

22. It's funny that the "hip" DUers (whoever they may be)...

are probably not considered "hip" in the real world. ;)

[iconoclastic cat]

24. Thank you for your keen grasp of the obvious.

/joking!

BTW: I'm in Edgewater. Where you at?

[Placebo]

28. Around Chinatown...

but I'm not Chinese. :P

[iconoclastic cat]

31. Has Daley begun his campaign of gentrification over there?

I'm still able to find some decent cheap rent around here, as well as in Rogers Park. I really want to buy a house in East Rogers Park, but I may be out of luck.

[Placebo]

40. Not yet!

:P

[Joe Chi Minh]

26. In the photo

she posted of herself, Skittles had such thoughtful eyes, with that beautiful moosh, too, questions of acoustics never occur to me.

[iconoclastic cat]

49. Hey, I never saw that!

I bet she's purdy.

[Joe Chi Minh]

95. I'm not saying anything.

Just ask her to post it again!

[MrScorpio]

27. So you guys want the bar open on Sundays, eh?

Usually it's pretty slow in here and Sunday's is usually one of my biggest TV watching days.

But football is over, so that's one less reason for me to not open the bar.


This is first that I've heard that you guys want to have it open.

Edit:

Since when did I become "Ultrahip"? This is news to me.

[JimmyJazz]

34. oh baby - you've always been ultra hip in my book ---

Now, more so than before :P :hi:

[MrScorpio]

38. Alrighty then

Smoochy Smocchy, kiss kiss, Baby cakes

[iconoclastic cat]

35. It might only be me, Mr. Scorpion.

:headbang: :toast: :beer:

[MrScorpio]

41. I'm just doing what I do, my man

I'm glad you appreciate it.

[Shananigans]

74. What about church?

;)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

30. I don't get it.

[iconoclastic cat]

32. Nor will you.

:P

[A-Schwarzenegger]

45. I would prefer not to.

[iconoclastic cat]

47. Dammit, Bartleby!

Now I'll have to rely on Nippers. And it's after noon!

[enigmatic]

36. I'm an outcast amongst outcasts...

Which makes me........well, I'm not quite sure, actually...

[iconoclastic cat]

39. Dude, you are SO uncool that you have punched a hole in the universe

and become cool the day before yesterday. Observe this 3-D model:

[enigmatic]

43. I can dig that!

I guess I should take a shower now since I'm no longer an outcast;)

[JimmyJazz]

42. an enigma?

:shrug:



:7

[iconoclastic cat]

44. I had a root beer enigma once.

[enigmatic]

48. I KNEW there was a reason I picked this username!

I was so busy revelling in my new-found fame to think properly. Heh;)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

55. Ummm, begging your pardon, Your Most Ultrahips;

as a lowly newbie, I would like to ask a question? Does each "room" have it's individual Ultrahipsters, or are the DU Royals known throughout the website?

[Longgrain]

59. Well lets see, I'm a loser around here

But check out the Photo Group and the Artist Group...

You might see my name here and there. :hi:

And welcome to DU if no one has already!

[Tsiyu]

82. I'm FAR from being an Ultrahip

There are people here who have threatened to KICK MY DEAD ASS for my total unhipness, but I will answer your deep, troubling question.

Yes.

[libodem]

57. I'm introverted

I've never "surfed the net" untill a couple of weeks ago. How do you get those cool pictures on your posts?

[JimmyJazz]

58. *Ahem* - Why didn't you post into my newbie thread if you have questions?

I would have gladly answered them! BTW - To post a pic, you copy the URL address under properties - give it a shot!

[libodem]

67. how'd I miss that newbie thread?

[iconoclastic cat]

78. Go to "Options" (icon on the top toolbar), then click "Edit your profile"

In the text window labeled "signature," put the URL of you graphic file. There is free storage space at Photobucket.com

[Downtown Hound]

64. I'm neither introverted nor ultrahip

But I'll bite. How do some of you get so many posts? It seems like I spend a lot of time on DU, far more than I'd care to admit really, and I will probably reach 3000 at the time of my one year anniversary. That seems like a lot to me, but some people here get 5000 in two or three months. How in the world do you do it?

[Shananigans]

75. Pffft...remember Quality over Quantity!

The people who get 5000 posts in two or three months are the ones who don't tend to last around here. I've seen people with 7,000 posts in their first 2 months and they disappeared two months after that.

No worries about post count. Either people love you or they don't!

[Bouncy Ball]

91. EXSQUEEEEZE ME?????

Check out my post count. Then check out when I joined.

I'm a-gonna last babee!

[Shananigans]

97. :) I hope so!

You are exsqueezed, though. I hate it when I am not exsqueezed. Doesn't it just hurt! :)

[Zomby Woof]

73. is ZW really an asshole?

I have heard he is a sweetheart, but only from the cool people. :P

[Shananigans]

76. Rumor is...

That he is actually a mute, deaf mime. Isn't that crazy? Can you imagine a mute, deaf mime being an asshole? I mean, give me a break here!

;)

[SarahB]

81. Speaking of cool people,

LynzM and I were talking about you yesterday. Nice things though. :loveya:

[qnr]

83. Is GrovelBot an environmentally-concious robot?

[SarahB]

85. Until our paternity/custody issues are worked through...

I'm not allowed to mention the "G" name as advised by my attorney.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2657508#2657548

[qnr]

86. Well that's perfectly understandable.

I imagine sonagrams must tickle like heck when they hit the little metal baby pieces.

[Shananigans]

87. Of course he is!

He even recycles! I once saw him kissing a fellow-DUer (no names) wearing non bio-degradable lipstick, though. But that thing got hushed up pretty quickly.

[auntAgonist]

88. is auntAgonist really

an antagonist?

[Shananigans]

90. That question would best be answered by her ;)

However, I am willing to say that she used to work as a Victoria Secret model. Does that answer your question?

[auntAgonist]

94. roflmao!!!!!!!

not even close.

And i'm not really an antagonist .. well ok sometimes.

[donheld]

92. There are "ultrahip" DUers?

:shrug: who knew?

[Shananigans]

99. To be quite honest...

"ultrahip" and "DUers" together make a great oxymoron. But it's all in the context. On DU...you just can't help but realize the overpowering coolness that exhudes from the pores of some DU-ers. I mean, take some of the long time favorites such as Rabrrrrrr, Robb, WillPitt and SarahBelle. They have become icons of DU. ;)

Werd to your mother!

[donheld]

103. If you say so

Sounds so High School.

[Shananigans]

104. I say so!

It's a joke... time to move on.

[asthmaticeog]

93. Wow, this thread's almost at 100 posts, and still no-one's asked

"Who is Al Hedges?"

How very odd. :shrug:

[Shananigans]

98. Well, that's easy!

Al Hedges is actually a former male stripper and womanizer who has now turned to a life with the Lord! Despite a small setback during a short affair with Grovelbot, Hedges has remained true to his favorite passion: singing gospel hyms with the three church choirs he is a member of. This is pretty tough for a guy who used to hate any type of sung word, couldn't carry a tune until 6 months ago.

At least that's what I heard.

[Beware the Beast Man]

100. The OP's asking about ultrahip DUers,

:P

[asthmaticeog]

101. You make an excellent point.

He's just not the "It Boy" he used to be, is he? :crack:

[BlondieK143]

96. :)

Some questions are better left unanswered!

[kick-ass-bob]

102. I'm here now. Ask away!

:P
