What is the weirdest thing anyone has posted/advocated here at DU?

[AngryAmish]

One times, I forget what the real subject of the thread was, but a person (I forget who) posted an article recommending that human waste be collected in everyone's home to be used as fertilizer on farms. ICK. In essence, they were advocating doing away with the flush toilet.

Any other weird ones out there?

[NoSheep]

1. Personally, I thought this was a little weird:

"I have many republican friends who are just a little right of center"


:wtf:

[GirlinContempt]

13. Whats weird about that?

[NoSheep]

24. nevermind.

[GirlinContempt]

30. Whatever

[sui generis]

2. I think Fox News quoted something somebody said about the

tsunami.

What was it again? Something about the tsunami being caused by global warming. They completely ignored freeperland's assertion that the tsunami was caused by sui-dish gays from sui-den, as well as the actual science, in favor of broadcasting some crackpot DU posting on the topic.

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. Pretty much anything posted outside the Lounge.

[NoSheep]

5. There ya go.

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. Some creep last week who was turned on by women in glasses.

:P

[Robb]

12. Well, I mean, come on...

:D

[asthmaticeog]

6. Chemtrails.

Hands down the loopiest shit in here.

[name not needed]

8. Nah.

The bullshit about the Tsunami last december being caused by the CIA or something like that.

[asthmaticeog]

16. I forgot that.

You are correct, sir, that WAS daffier than Chemtrails.

[Redstone]

53. That get my vote, too. What a wingnut.

[purr]

48. I looked up and saw 3 of them in an "X" style pattern and thought

immediately of that. Cracked me right up :)

[asthmaticeog]

52. Cool sphinx cat!

[purr]

54. Thanks! btw.. what is that holding shrub in your sig??

I was always meaning to ask you that!

[asthmaticeog]

56. Here:

[Redstone]

66. Whoa. I just googled "chemtrails," which I had not

heard of before, and, well, damn. Them there chemtrail people got themselves some serious problems, all right.

7. in a thread about endangered tigers

This person opined the that extinction of tigers would be a good thing as they cause so much pain & suffering. Felt that all carnivores should be allowed to die off for same reason.

I rest my case.

[Shell Beau]

20. WTF!!

They only care about animals that eat vegetation. Shit, that would wipe out most animals and people too!

[purr]

49. I second that.. wow. That IS really bad.

[Nye Bevan]

9. Check out this classic weird (but hilarious) thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=624815

[radwriter0555]

60. OSCAR is alive and well dammit. And you can't convince me OTHERWISE.

So don't even try.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

61. What do you mean weird? Weird how? Weird like a clown?

[Nye Bevan]

63. Just.....just....you know....the way you tell the story and everything....

[Kraklen]

10. I haven't been here that long, but...

somebody yesterday was seriously arguing the LA earthquake was a subterranean nuclear bomb detonated to distract from the DSM hearings.

[name not needed]

11. Someone's been watching waaaaaay too many James Bond movies.

[GirlinContempt]

14. ....

:rofl:

[Nye Bevan]

15. Like some people claimed that the Tsunami was caused by the Iraq war

Skinner & co really do not like these "Kooky Conspiracy Theories".

See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=announcement&id=135

[Kraklen]

18. Skinner's an admin?

Can't blame him. It must suck compiling huge amounts of documents and data on the corruption of the Bush administration, then posting it in a thread next to some guy who thinks Bush is sapping his precious bodily fluids.

[asthmaticeog]

17. I posted this a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to fit this thread...

Behold, the knock-down drag-out flamewar over... a chicken recipe.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=961628

[matcom]

19. ah, the good old days

:D

[Beware the Beast Man]

21. Well, a complete asshead managed to ruin that for everyone.

[Kraklen]

23. I guess somebody...

doesn't like corn based breadings.

I wonder if he actually tried the recipe before going nuts.

[Zomby Woof]

62. Yes, and it sucks

And no, I did not go nuts. There is a story behind the story which I will not go into here. More to that thread than appears on the surface.

But slinkerwink and I patched things up and got along quite well in the aftermath.

We even brought this thread up as an inside joke for a long time, sharing a laugh. So anyone using it to take potshots at me loses. I have the last laugh. :-)

[johnnie]

22. I missed that one

That is some funny shit. North and South chickens..LOL

32. That Teneha wasn't much of a prize, either...

I mean ferfuxsakes, it's just a recipe. :eyes:

[Texasgal]

36. Agreed...

the thread was so fucking stupid it was comical!

[redqueen]

40. I remember that thread...

I saw her comment about kool aid and took it in the worst way imaginable... I thought about posting something, then thought better of it.

[alarimer]

25. It wasn't so long ago when they did that

I am sure it still happens in some countries.

[Kraklen]

26. I suppose...

it beats just dumping it into the ocean.

[AngryAmish]

31. It does still happens in some countries

In desperately poor countries with horrible public health systems and short life expectancies. Very good way to promulgate parasites. Plus, ICK.

[Maestro]

27. I won't repost

because I am afraid the thread would get locked, but there have been some wierd sexual comments here. Wow!

[sniffa]

28. asked me to take dirty pics and send

[GirlinContempt]

33. Did you?

[sniffa]

35. no

i just sent some oLd dirties. :o

[Texasgal]

34. Was that?

OH...ummm...nevermind. She's been DE_throned. :hide:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

37. In old DU there was a thread in defense of the benefits of drinking

your own piss.

[tjwmason]

38. I'm not advocating it

It's a bit gross afterall, but many do believe that it provides benefits. I believe that Ghandi drank his own urine on a daily basis.

On edit. That said, I was once told by a chum that if two people are stranded without a water supply it is better for them to drink each other's urine rather than their own.

Now I'm just going to run away I think :scared:

[hickman1937]

64. Huh?

:rofl: Knowledge can be hilarious

[Kraklen]

39. You know, when you think about it...

it's technically more hygenic than kissing.

Technically.

[redqueen]

41. I advocated voting for Kucinich.

Does that qualify?

[Kraklen]

42. Only if you wrote him in during the general election.

Btw, I like your Cheese.

[redqueen]

45. Nope... voted for Kerry.

But I sure advocated for Kucinich during the primaries. LOTS of people told me how crazy/stupid/pointless/harmful that idea was.

Thanks! I *LOVE* Cheese!

[Kraklen]

50. Me too.

Cheese likes chocolate milk.

[Kraklen]

43. Only if you wrote him in during the general election.

Btw, I like your Cheese.

[Kraklen]

44. Why does that keep happening?

Double posts? Is it me?

[AngryAmish]

46. Double posts suck

[AngryAmish]

47. Double posts suck

51. Composting Toilets are almost mainstream

A quick google search gives over a half dozen manufacturers. Some models have been installed within public facilities for years.

[Rabrrrrrr]

55. Chemtrails, astrology, tarot, chakra stones, all that bullshit

[Redstone]

57. Well, I don't want to name any names, but SOMEONE got a bit, um,

unraveled in two threads I remember, starting with this post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3082593&mesg_id=3083531

And continuing in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=3113722

(You need to follow through the posts in order to get the real sense of what I mean by unraveled. Where else can you find a gem like this: "...if memory serves, though all it's been serving me lately has been wizened sardines on something resembling a bloated Triscuit..." or the succinct "...just feeding me the tiny crumbs of knowledge in an agonizingly slow drip, drip, drip, drip, like the Chinese water torture of the kitchen faucet that I'm going to teach a lesson to in a few minutes, and we'll see how it likes meeting Mister Ball Peen face-to-face.")

[Maddy McCall]

58. One person here, who claims to be a nurse, advocated taking one's....

elderly mother to a "bad" nursing home to show the elderly mom what would happen to her if she didn't "behave," among other forms of what I consider abuse to keep granny in line. (The original poster was having problems with a near-senile mother who resided with him and asked for advice).

I was appalled, as were other DUers.

[radwriter0555]

59. FURRIES. Someone here, bless their heart, advocated the dressing

up of one's self in animal character furry costumes and seeking out and engaging in sexual activities with strangers.

I even got a personal email from them about it.

I tried to explain it to my french husband, and frankly, I couldn't. We seriously JUST. DON'T. GET. IT.

No offense to those who thusly engage.

[hickman1937]

65. I'd love to believe that you made this up.

Unfortunatly, I've been in the lounge for awhile. Sorry I missed that one.

[BlueIris]

67. The weirdest thread I ever encountered here, last fall, was called:

"No More Mr. Nice Democrat: Lefty Black Ops."

Can't link to it because it's long gone. Don't want to demonize the person who started it, but let's just say I can't agree with anything that poster was suggesting the party should get behind doing or actually do. I'm not saying I'm not tempted to start breaking as many laws as the GOP does to get ahead, but this person wanted to do things as extreme as go rifling through the medical records of the mistrisses of Republican senators to see if anyone had ended any pregnancies recently--then try to create scandals with that info. And it's not so much that I want the Dems to be above those kinds of repugnant (and impossible to achieve) tactis as well, I don't think that kind of shit would work for our side. The Republicans (and many of their supporters) know who has done what evil thing recently. They don't care.
