Everyone is well aware that DU has a hobby, right?

[southlandshari]

:hide:

My second ever copy cat thread - be nice!

[Democracy White]

1. What hobby?

[southlandshari]

5. I was hoping others would tell me

without getting my silly little copy cat thread locked, though!

;)

[sniffa]

2. you're getting better at copycats

:P

[southlandshari]

7. I dunno

My first one got about 40 replies - this one isn't faring too well.

Is this a shameless kick, or what?

:P

[sundog]

3. we know the hobby, but that will get this thread locked

:P

[southlandshari]

8. Bad doggie!

:spank:

[sundog]

28. hey! don't complain!

this may very well be the first copycat to flame 10 hours after it was posted :P

[southlandshari]

32. I won't

Especially since I just realized it was YOUR copy cat thread title using "lobby" that led me to start this one. And just look at it go!

:toast:

[sundog]

35. now you're trying to put the blame on me!

it's always my fault isn't it? :grr:

[southlandshari]

38. Blame you?

I'm THANKING you for the inspiration for this fantastic thread, which I am certain will soon be among those classics linked in replies to threads bearing the subject line:

"What is the all-time greatest thread on DU?"

Sigh. Just think, my little copy cat thread among all the old sex threads and locked threads that everyone tries to sneak in on those "hall of fame" threads around here!

;-)

[sundog]

40. now you play innocent! i'm onto your tricks ms. southlandshari!

:P

[southlandshari]

46. But, but, but...

I AM innocent!

Really I am.

Can't SOMEONE vouch for me here? I have no tricks, I promise!

:dilemma:

[sundog]

49. lies!

you're trying to get me in trouble again! :P

[southlandshari]

55. You calling me a liar, darlin;?

'Cause I'm sure that qualifies as a personal attack.

To alert or not alert?

;-)

[sundog]

57. alert!

:P

:spank:

[southlandshari]

60. Locking

The topic of this thread can be reposted to a new thread as long as that sundog character promises not to participate in the discussion.

:rofl:

[sundog]

61. oh. my. god. ABUSE OF POWER!!!!

[southlandshari]

63. Alert on me.

Really. My beloved fellow mods would love nothing more than to open a discussion in the mod forum on whether or not to nuke me!

Who knows what could happen? But if I'm nothing but a granite cookie at sunrise, will you miss me at all?

:hide:

[sundog]

66. done!

take that ms. southlandshari :P

[southlandshari]

69. I call your bluff!

I may have to open the discussion on myself tonight!

[hfojvt]

4. I thought DU was a hobby

Did you mean "hobbit" or "lobby"?

[southlandshari]

10. "Lobby" was already taken by a quicker copy cat

And I'm sadly unversed in all things Tolkien, and would not have been able to keep up if I used "hobbit"!

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

6. Your hobby

Is to give me moonpies, often! :D :hi:

[southlandshari]

11. Oh yes it is!

How about an animated celebration of that wonderful treat tonight?

[BikeWriter]

9. Uh...

[southlandshari]

12. ok, ok....

:yoiks:

[BikeWriter]

17. Ooh, it's a wierd copycat! :-)

[southlandshari]

19. I know, I know

But cut me some slack. We moderators have to check our sense of humor at the DU door - isn't that public knowledge in the Lounge? LOL!

So anyway, our attempts at stuff like copy cat threads are usually pretty weak. But if the masses do not express adequate appreciation, we have our ways to reciprocate.

:evilgrin:

[BikeWriter]

22. Hey, you folks do a great job of protecting the huddled masses. :-)

[southlandshari]

27. Keep a record of this reply

And if you ever get in trouble for a post, use it to prove that a moderator once smiled at you for a very nice post you made in her silly copy cat thread!

:D

(Of course, it won't help if you get in trouble for a genuinely bad post, but it won't hurt, either!)

[BikeWriter]

36. Hee hee hee! Thank you, Ma'am...

I do try to avoid making extremely stupid posts. :-)

[southlandshari]

52. Very glad to hear that, my friend.

Just 73,000 more DUers to convince to follow your example now!

:P

[In_The_Wind]

13. sure ... sure

that's right ... keep on telling yourself that

[southlandshari]

14. Which part?

I want to get this copy cat business right!

:P

[In_The_Wind]

16. oh so that's it

copy cat business ... I thought the DU Lounge hobby was something else


oops ~ my bad

[southlandshari]

20. Oh no....I would NEVER start a thread on the LOUNGE hobby

for obvious reasons!

:hide:

[In_The_Wind]

21. hmmmm

for obvious reasons!

[southlandshari]

24. ROFL!

Now THAT is a great smiley!

Where'd you get it? I'm sure there are more where that came from!

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

30. southlandshari ~ you've made my night complete

I believe you'll like this link www.websmileys.com/comp.htm

and now my job is done here today ... I've caused a Mod to :rofl:

[southlandshari]

33. And that's not all...

You've caused a mod to do this, too:

:hug:


And you all know how stingy we DU overlords are with those things!

;-)

[In_The_Wind]

39. *sigh*

and this to stingy overlords I have my ways of dealing with them too

[southlandshari]

43. Eeeeeewwww!

Did your smiley just give me a "wet willie"?

:rofl:


That's two ROFL smilies in one night, missy!

[In_The_Wind]

45. DANG ... you just called me *missy*

you don't even wanna know what I did to one silly man who thought he could get away with that

[southlandshari]

47. I'm sorry!

Really I am - it's a southern thing, I promise!

Besides, if you tried anything hinky on me, I'd have to snatch you bald-headed. And I was really starting to like you, darlin'!

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

58. I was just funnin with you

it doesn't show much anymore but I was born and grew up down south

I spent the winter in S. C. two years ago and it was very soothing to be called Miss Joan again.


But I also wasn't kidding about how I did a 180 on one man's brain after we met on a match site.


here want an ice cream cause I like you too

[southlandshari]

71. Awwwwwww.....

Ice cream - yum!

Want a Moon Pie?

:9

[In_The_Wind]

72. yes ~ please

I wasn't allowed to eat those when I was a little girl ... so I've decided to find the child in myself and go have some fun

[southlandshari]

74. Enjoy, darlin'!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. Ummm

I thought we got deleted for talking about that now?




I've never had the courage (wit? :P ) to start a copycat. Here's to you! :toast:

[southlandshari]

18. Oh come on, darlin'...

You know the hobby isn't THAT -- DU's hobby is Moon Pie bashing!

Yeah. That's what I meant!

:rofl:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

29. Well, I'm not one to spread rumors...

BUT, I have it on good authority that the real name of the agent assigned to watch over DU us Agent Moon Pie.. Agent Mike was a decoy, if you didn't already know that. So, far be it from me to ever bash Moon Pies, (you never know when one might be watching!)

[southlandshari]

37. Clean up on DU mod monitor in Alabama!

:spray:

Ouch, that hurt - diet coke came out through my nose and everything!

I just had a visual of a giant Moon Pie with bug eyes, sitting at a computer monitor and logging all kinds of crazy stuff in a little government-issue black book.

Moon Pie eyes - now I'm gonna have nightmares!

:hide:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

42. I may be in trouble... I've said too much!

Moon Pie is still under wraps (or is that wrapped in cellophane?) and I just outed him/her! It's not my fault really, they're such a cutie pie I forgot myself. If this goes to investigation forget you ever knew me! I'm afraid I'm going to have to eat the evidence now.. *munch* *chew*

I could really us an RC right about now...

[southlandshari]

44. Chew faster!

I'll never rat you out, my friend. If you don't have an RC Cola handy, Budweiser is a good substitute.

:pals:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

50. The evidence is gone!

Unfortunately I wasn't sure which one was the agent and had to consume the entire box. It's better safe than sorry. However, I may be sorry when I try and squeeze my booty into my clothes tomorrow. :P

On a completely different note, and even more off topic. Have you ever seen the southern Astrological signs? They're so cute! You made me think of them when you were talking about Agent Moon Pie's eyes.

I'm just glad I didn't come up as a possum! :scared:

OKRA: Dec 22 - Jan 20
Although you appear crude, you are actually very slick on the inside.
Okra have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look back over his
life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. Stay away from
Moon Pies.
CHITLIN: Jan 21 - Feb 19
Chitlins often come from humble backgrounds. Many times they're
uncomfortable talking about just where they came from. A chitlin,
however, can make something of himself if he's motivated and has
plenty of seasoning. When it comes to dealing with Chitlins, be very
careful. Chitlins can burn and then erupt like Vesuvius, and this can
make for a really terrible mess. Chitlins are best with Catfish and
Okra. Remember that when marriage time rolls around.

BOLL WEEVIL: Feb 20 - Mar 20
You have an overwhelming curiosity. You're unsatisfied with the
surface of things, and you feel the need to bore deep into the
interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very intense and
driven as if you had some inner hunger. Nobody in their right mind is
going to marry you, so don't worry about it.

MOON PIE: Mar 21 - Apr 20
You're the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch. It's a
cinch to recognize the physical appearance of Moon Pies. "Big" and
"round" are the key words here. You should marry anybody who you can
get remotely interested in the idea. It's not going to be easy. This
might be the year to think about aerobics. Maybe not.

POSSUM: Apr 21 - May 21
When confronted with life's difficulties, possums have a marked
tendency to withdraw and develop a "don't - bother - me - about - it"
attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn, people actually think
you're dead. This strategy is probably not psychologically healthy,
but seems to work for you. One day, however, it won't work, and you
may find your problems actually running you over.

CRAWDAD: May 22 - Jun 21
Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an office, you're always
hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the beach to the
mountains, the pool to the golf course, the bathtub to the living
room. You tend not to be particularly attractive physically, but you
have very, very good heads.

COLLARDS: Jun 22- Jul 23
Collards have a genius for communication. They love to get in the
"melting pot" of life and share their essence with the essences of
those around them. Collards make good social workers, psychologists,
and baseball managers. As far as your personal life goes, if you are
Collards, stay away from Moon Pies. It just won't work. Save yourself
a lot of heartache.

CATFISH: Jul 24 - Aug 23
Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the heart, with one
exception: Whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. You catfish
are never easy people to understand. You prefer the muddy bottoms
to the clear surface of life. Above all else, Catfish should stay
away from Moon Pies.

GRITS: Aug 24 - Sep 23
Your highest aim is to be with others like yourself. You like to
huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits. You love to travel,
though, so maybe you should think about joining a club. Where do you
like to go? Anywhere they have cheese or gravy or bacon or butter or
eggs. If you can go somewhere where they have all these things, that
serves you well.

BOILED PEANUTS: Sep 24 - Oct 23
You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man. Unfortunately,
those who know you best - your friends and loved ones - may find that
your personality is much too salty, and their criticism will probably
affect you deeply because you are really much softer than you appear.
You should go right ahead and marry anybody you want to because in a
certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road of life, you can be
sure that people will always pull over and stop for you.

BUTTER BEAN: Oct 24 - Nov 22
Always invite a Butter Bean because Butter Beans get along well with
everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, should be proud. You've grown on the
vine of life and you feel at home no matter what the setting. You can
sit next to anybody. However, you, too, shouldn't have anything to do
with Moon Pies.

ARMADILLO: Nov 23 - Dec 21
You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are actually
quite gentle. A good evening for you? Old friends, a fire, some roots,
fruit, worms and insects. You are a throwback. You're not concerned
with today's fashions and trends. You're not concerned with anything
about today. You're really almost prehistoric in your interests and
behavior patterns. You probably want to marry another Armadillo, but
Possum is another, somewhat kinky, mating possibility.

[southlandshari]

54. "I'm just glad I didn't come up as a possum!"

Maybe not. But guess who did?

:scared:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

59. LOL!

At least you're not scared of 'em!

If it makes you feel any better I'm a freaking... BOLL WEEVIL! :rofl:

[southlandshari]

62. Stop!

:rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:

I'm getting a bellyache from all this laughing!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

64. Only one more, then I promise to go to bed...

Have you ever had any secret fantasies about Armadillo's...

We Boll Weevil's don't have a chance with anyone so I have to live vicariously via you sexy possum's. :rofl:

[southlandshari]

67. Oh crap.

Don't you know we've been locking beastiality threads lately?







But I can't help it -

:rofl:

You're KILLING me!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

68. Opps....

It just romantic love.... ummm... With ummm, a person with think skin. Ya, that's the ticket!

on edit... I'm off to chew some cotton. :)

[nickgutierrez]

23. I'm afraid to ask.

Please tell me it has nothing to do with that damned phone...? :hi:

[southlandshari]

25. What phone?

O8)

[nickgutierrez]

26. Oh sure, you act innocent now.

Never mind what you did a few months ago that left me something like this: http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/aaaaaaaaaaaaahaha/

You know exactly what phone I'm talking about.

[southlandshari]

31. I've NEVER seen that file in my life!

And that phone of which you speak - well, just look what it did to my fingers in the link below - yikes!

And by the way, you mean man - I caught you and your buddy giving me the cold shoulder in this hidden camera expose. Why are you guys being so mean to me? I just want to be invited to the bar to sing Hansen songs and eat popcorn...

http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/banana+fingers+2/

[nickgutierrez]

34. If that's all that movie did...

...then you're the lucky one. You saw what happened to the others.

[southlandshari]

41. You still didn't answer the question...

Why'd you tell me you didn't want me to come to the bar? That made me and my banana fingers mighty sad...

:cry:

[southlandshari]

48. I knew it!

You are feeling badly about your treatment of your somewhat socially awkward banana-fingered friend, aren't you?

:spank:

[nickgutierrez]

51. That wasn't me.

Or... ok, it was me. But I was high. :smoke:

[southlandshari]

56. Well, hell - that's twice in one night!

:spray:

Guess I just need to keep the Windex and paper towels right by my computer tonight!

:P

[SOteric]

53. Ah yes: Swedish Fishing.

[southlandshari]

65. This is where all the Moon Pie business started

All this Swedish Fish nonsense felt like South-bashing to me - they are not exactly an impulse item near the checkout line at the Piggly Wiggly - so I launched an agressive PR campaign to raise awareness for the far-too-long overlooked snack delight from my neck of the woods...

Yum!

:9

[southlandshari]

70. This thread just can't end

with 69 posts. For obvious reasons....

Hence useless post #70. Feel free to abandon ship if this is getting boring. I've had fun, though!

[In_The_Wind]

73. ahem ...

ya got something against "69"

[southlandshari]

75. No comment!

:hide:

[In_The_Wind]
