"Raise your hand if you question whether Yaks should wear Yokes."

[salin]

{Combining old thread themes.... used to be a lot of "raise your hand if..." threads - often trying to get folks to line up on one side or the other of the most recent GD type flamewar; and Yaks used to be an episodic topic of conversation here in the lounge.)

[merh]

1. Is this some kind of Yoke?

:shrug:




















































:rofl: :rofl:

:hi:


:hug:

[salin]

8. all yolking aside...

;-)

[baldguy]

2. I thought that lounge yaks were extinct.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Only a freeper should think yaks should wear yokes!

:evilgrin:

[salin]

10. after all of these posts... have I demasked myself? Yolking Yikes?!

:-P

[Redneck Socialist]

4. What happened to the thongs?

I thought yaks wore thongs? :shrug:

[salin]

11. Raise your hands if you think Yaks should only wear Thong Yokes

guess that is what I should have titled the thread...

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. I know what you're trying to do...and I'm not going to fall for it.

Yet.... :hi:

[salin]

13. there were a brazillion Yak threads, before the brazillion

brazillian threads... but there were twenty brazillian thong threads ... yet thongs and Yaks together... Yee heavenly Yokeling Yikes!

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. ...and then there were the kitten fetus eating threads of the primary

wars...sigh...

[salin]

20. but wait.... there is a secret strategy to prevent the war...

oops those flame wars were pre-primary - but just as annoying.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Yes....and I lost my tinfoil ages ago anyway.

:P


salin, you're the best of the peachy people.

[salin]

30. gee thanks

but just been in an ornery (sp?) mood all day which brings a bit of ironic humor to the fore... glad that folks tolerate it. :loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

6. Yaks should rip off their yokes of imperialism!

Long live the revolution!

[salin]

14. now that thread deserves your 'salin' emoticon

:-)

[GOPisEvil]

19. Ask and ye shall receive.

[GOPisEvil]

24. One more!

[salin]

31. ugh

the first one is cryptic enough to make me laugh... the latter one just makes me want to gag. Please hide it? Pretty please?

[GOPisEvil]

67. Sorry - I went to bed soon after posting that.

I don't much care for the second one either. THe first one is all yours.

[FuzzySlippers]

7. Yaks should wear funky headgear.

[salin]

17. OMG a Yak Thong!

[Zomby Woof]

9. YAKS ARE ETERNAL

Long may they reign.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Says you.

I side with the pandas, personally.

[Zomby Woof]

18. My yaks eat pandas

They like them fresh off the rotissierie. :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Ah...your yaks went the way of the smoking children in restaurants.

You just won't admit it. :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

27. Smoking children in race-car shopping carts!

And the carts were plastered with Nader stickers and loaded up with boxes of corn flakes and chicken! :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. While Laura Branigan played loudly in the background and mothers

everywhere breastfed!!! :bounce:

[Zomby Woof]

34. Only if...

...their vegetarian immigrant housekeepers weren't always donating to PETA and aborting Palestinian Dean supporters in an SUV with its TV tuned to American Idol! :bounce:

[salin]

22. Ya, well my Yaks hi-jack your Yaks threads.

'Nuff said.

:D

[Zomby Woof]

28. My yak pooped on your bean bag chair

x(

[salin]

32. leaving you only with the steel kindergarten size stool...

so sorry about that.... :hug:

[misanthrope]

15. How do you know...

...the yokes aren't wearing the yaks?

[salin]

25. well there is a local yokel rumour to that effect...

so you may be onto something...

[merh]

36. What's that about yokels?

[salin]

39. could it be.... yokels in need of bifocals?

great graphic, btw :hi:

[merh]

42. Why would yokels need bifocals?

Can they read? :shrug:

Check out the website where I found the graphic

POWERFUL COALITION OF
PLUTOCRATS AND YOKELS
HELP RE-ELECT BUSH

http://www.dcpox.com/pox82.html

:rofl: :rofl:

:hi:

[salin]

44. Bwahahaha

very funny!

Per the bifocals - blending a rhyme with the half closed/squinty eyes in the graphic... lame attempt to be clever. :shrug:

[merh]

47. Mine was a lamer still attempt to be clever.

Thank goodness the website link saved me :silly:

:hug:

[salin]

48. not lame... I just claim that perhaps

I am a yokel (sorta) needing bifocals to catch it. :D :hug:

[merh]

50. Here are some polarized bifocals

I hope they help. :hug:

[salin]

55. polarized.... I think I will use them when I go to GDPolitics

:D

Thanks :hi:

[merh]

58. Oh, you want something to take with you into GD Politics

Well why didn't you say so?

How about this?

:hi:

[salin]

60. With the two items - I am now fully prepared

thanks so much! :D

[merh]

62. Glad I could help.

Have a good night! :hug:

[salin]

63. You too...

big storms have been cruising through, and where I am seems to be fine - but I am not at the house I own - where it looked like some "tornadic activity" (newer weather speak for tornado alley areas) was going through. Hopefully tomorrow when I head back, I will find everything still in tact.

[merh]

65. Oh, you are definitely in my prayers

Everything will be in tact and I hope you get some rest and not let the worry keep you up. :hug:


:loveya:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

26. ...........

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[salin]

33. OMGosh --- Paging Zomby and NSMA... time for your verbal popcorn

I miss those "pomes".

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

35. Here's some poems :) remember these?

Happier times in the lounge :D

http://www.democraticunderground.com/cgi-bin/duforum/duboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=19220&forum=DCForumID59&archive=#1

[salin]

38. Very, very impressive work

and a great walk down memory lane, to boot!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

46. Look what else I just found in my old DU bookmarks!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/cgi-bin/duforum/duboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=24297&forum=DCForumID59&archive=#TOP

and this!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/cgi-bin/duforum/duboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=8575&forum=DCForumID70&archive=

[salin]

56. hope you are linking those to your journal

the first one - so incredibly touching. From time to time I run across ProdigalJunkMail - and it always touches my heart.

The second one is such a "sink your teeth into" thinkabout read. Great discussion. Thanks for finding and posting.

[Zomby Woof]

41. Wow!

Good times, good times. :-)

That post where you welcomed Nini is priceless. :loveya:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

49. It is...I laughed when I read that

I TOLD YOU I ALWAYS LIKED HER!!!

[Zomby Woof]

51. Like I would ever doubt you???

:P

Took me a little longer to notice her, but all good things in due time.. :-)


The Junkmail thread is sad... seeing khephra and playahata1 in there adds a new dimension to the poignancy.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

52. I just spent the last hour mulling around old DU

it was fun...it took me a year to get to 11,000 and that was prolific back then

[Zomby Woof]

54. Quantity and quality weren't always mutually exclusive

Proof you can do both, in your 11,000, and since. :-)

[MikeH]

66. I remember your poems

Hi Teena:hi: I haven't talked with you in a while.

When you mentioned poems, I thought I remembered that it was a thread I had posted in, and indeed it was.

I hope to see you again some time. There was a thread about a possible SoCal gathering in February, but it looks like nothing came of it.

[Zomby Woof]

37. SALIN POPCORN

Salin is so very neat
Her brains and wisdom
Can't be beat

Resting on her beanbag chair
She of the long golden hair

Salin is so very deep
With in-depth research
That kills a freep

Making me sit in the first-grade chair
Shall I sass her? I do not dare. :evilgrin:

:loveya:

[salin]

40. *blush* and dare I tell you

that at Christmas I cut the locks to the shoulders and went a tad bit red?

Wish I had the talent to respond in-kind.

I hope you know how much I appreciate you, even when in the midst of one of my (pretty rare, at least I think) 'hissy fits'. :loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

43. Ok, I'll revise it!

:P

Salin did something so cool and bold
She traded in red hair for what was gold!

She cut the length, and made it short
To which Zomby had this quick retort!

Salin, you're my friend so smart and true
But please don't change your hair and dye it blue!

:loveya: My appreciation is likewise, salinpants!

[salin]

45. all I can say is...

*blush*
:rofl:
*bowing to your popcorn prowess!*

For that - you can forget (for now) the little kid chairs - beanbags, steel stools or otherwise.

:loveya:

[Heidi]

53. How's it any of our business whether yaks wear yokes????

I think we should tend to our own yokes and stop worrying and gossiping about yaks' yokes (or yaks' lack of yokes). :evilgrin:

[salin]

57. I heard that perhaps there was a major

PM campaign about the issue, that it needed to be brought out to the daylight and be discussed as it is such a pressing issue whether Yaks are Yoked, Yokeless, or Yanked about by Yokels. :evilgrin:

[Heidi]

59. Well, you can just count me _out_,

because I believe the private lives of yaks, both yoked and unyoked, yanked and unyanked, legal and illegal, are none of our damn business. :evilgrin:

[salin]

61. But there is still public relations managment to consider...

hence the need to take the whispering campaign meant to persuade opinion - out in the open to both gauge opinion - and to force all sides to be overt rather than covert with their concerns per Yoking vs unyoked, yanking vs th unyanked, the role of yokels, the unintended Yolks that get involved, and the legality or illegality of it all ;-)

[Sugar Smack]

68. Say, Heidi--

What's your opinion on the sea, bees & wind?

:evilgrin: :popcorn: :rofl:

[Heidi]

70. Heh.

RIP.

[TheBaldyMan]

64. I prefer Yaks in Macs

it helps them keep dry if it rains, there is nothing worse than a damp yak.

[madinmaryland]

69. I think both Yaks and Yokes should be herked!!!!

[riona]

71. i just yaked up a yoke

:puke:

[Heidi]

72. Yikes.

Yak yoke yackin' has to hurt. :yoiks:

Wanna breath mint? :D

[merh]

73. But, can you yodel?

:shrug:

[Heidi]

74. Yak kick.

:kick:
