For the most part, anyway.

It's something to do while I'm at the office.

[XemaSab]

5. Not at all

I started out in the rest of DU, but I got tired of the welts on my ass, so now I hang out over here.

[WCGreen]

6. I would say with a sense of deep convicition that I have

earned my stripes in the Lounge since I love to talk about important things like Progmom's glasses and why Zuni loves sharks and how is it that Mr. Scorpio reminds me of a very sauve and debonair black man....

[Kilroy003]

19. Sharks are pretty cool.

Lovable, maybe, but cool nevertheless.

[WCGreen]

30. Oh they are....

They represent all that is personified evil in the natural world therefor they must be studied and given weeks on the cable networks...

[progmom]

Maybe a game of chess?

[kick-ass-bob]

40. I suck at chess.

How about 'slaps'?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Nonsense has its place in this world.

It can entertain, put things into perspective, and help us not take ourselves too seriously.

Yes, many of my posts have been "nonsense". :hi:

[Shell Beau]

13. Me!

[Deja Q]

14. Some, obviously. So what?

20,000+ posts of politics would drive us insane. :D

[Kilroy003]

17. Is insaner a word?

Spell check let it go.

[catbert836]

16. You caught me.

Although I did mix it a lot with discussion of the 2004 Campaign and debating Theology with people unknowing of my vast wisdom.

[Kilroy003]

23. I do my best

but after three or so years I'm still under 400.

I guess I'm just not that talkative.

[hfojvt]

21. Nonsense? What are you calling nonsense?

If I make a silly/clever remark that makes someone post :rofl: in response, then I consider that to be one of my better posts. So take your brillig and slithy toves and go gyre and gimble in the wabe.

[Kilroy003]

32. It's strange, but I've posted some pretty serious stuff

that just gets buried.

Then I post a silly question in the Lounge and get 20+ responses, just like that.

gyre and gimble? Surely you jest?

[hfojvt]

39. and mimsy were the borogoves

and the mome raths outgabe.

And don't call me Shirley.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

22. "I prefer the pleasure of writing bits of nonsense to that of wearing

an embroidered coat which costs 800 francs." --Stendahl

[hfojvt]

38. first of all, it was a dinner date, second it was 600 dollars

and why are you bringing that up again?

See, that was not nonsense. It was an inside joke, although I use the term loosely.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

41. You dated Stendahl?

[hfojvt]

45. now that is nonsense

Stendhal is pseudonym for Henri Beyle (1783-1842)

[LaurenG]

24. I did alot of them here but at least half in GD nt

[DrGonzoLives]

25. I'm offended

No I'm not.

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. Nonsense in the lounge, articles in GD & GDP, one word answers whereever

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I do believe, Kilroy003, that ALL of us have posted nonsense at one

time or another...Even I have. A long time ago, yvr girl told me "Silly is a Lounge requirement." She is so right about that! I do have serious posts also, of course...But being silly/funny is great! Laughter is healing, restorative, and of course, FUN!

:hi:

[Initech]

29. I'd say about 1/3 of my posts are lounge nonsense

[RedCloud]

31. Stripes, not strips? Why those little....

To think what I had to do, just to get another measly post counted.

[VelmaD]

33. I'm about 50-50

I've been battling it out for years in GD AND engaging in nonsense in here. :)

[Deep13]

36. What stripes?

:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

42. I don't have stripes, I'm an officer.

:eyes:

It's the nonsense that helps us keep our sanity.

[MercutioATC]

43. My stripes are from the 9/11 Forum...

...I earned 'em replying to the :tinfoilhat: folks there.

:banghead:

[Hosnon]

51. That's terrific...

Congratulations!

[Ksec]
