In honor of the douchebag thread - post other memorable DU threads

[LynneSin]

I would have to say #1 would be that thread about A-Schwarzenegger post about his uncle's strange beast/pet Oscar. That has to be a classic.

#2 I think it was Underpants that started the thread but it was things you shouldn't say at the "Passion of the Christ" movie

What was some of the memorable threads from DU that you remember

[slj0101]

1. That one where someone posted, and someone got all indignant,

and a fight ensued, and it was locked.

[hfojvt]

22. the spin-off apology, escalation, and innuendo threads

are more memorable.

I'm really offended that you did not think to mention that. :nuke: :argh:

[slj0101]

32. I'd expect that from a [insert personal attack here]

:useofpassive/aggressiveinappropriatesmilie:


:D

[ohiosmith]

2. The "Assholes who leave their shopping carts in the parking lot" thread.

[Midlodemocrat]

6. I got into a massive flamewar with

DS1 in that thread.

Subsequently we became friends. Funny how that works. He was being a total douchebag.





:hide:


J/K in case he sees this. Or SO

[ohiosmith]

9. HE was being a total douchebag? I personally found your position to be

somewhat disturbing at best.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. I never said *I* wasn't being one now did I?

:eyes:

[Runcible Spoon]

16. ahhhhhhh good ole DS1...

I loved him specifically BECAUSE he was such a giant prick, and he was so unapologetic about it LOL I also befriended him after one particularly brutal flameout, and we realized that we both possessed the same appreciation for snark and sardonic wit.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. I LOVE that guy.

I really miss him.

:cry:

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Temporary Sockpuppet's plea for help was a classic.

[merh]

7. I have to second that.

Temporary Sock Puppet was rich in emotion and drama.

[Runcible Spoon]

18. OMFG I remember that

:rofl:

[swag]

29. Come back, Temporary Sockpuppet! Come back!

[Gormy Cuss]

4. Kudzu.

Both times.

[LynneSin]

5. Yeah but the Kudzu sequel isn't as good as the original

But that's just my opinion

[ghostsofgiants]

8. Still better than most of the crap around here though.

:P

[LynneSin]

10. Hell it tops this thread for sure

:D

[ZombieNixon]

11. Yeah, but Kudzu III was just a steaming douche...

:hide: :P

[underpants]

66. DU's wikipedia page HAD a link to that and the "dupe" thread

but I don't think either link is still there

[Runcible Spoon]

13. the OSCAR thread

it was a magical time...CLASSIC DU lounge thread...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=624815&mesg_id=624815

[NewWaveChick1981]

14. I inadvertently started a flame war over Brad Pitt once.

:rofl: And I have gotten threads locked recently for inexplicable reasons. :shrug:

[deucemagnet]

15. "Things not to say at the "Passion of the Christ" was my favorite.

I think we need a link.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=818212

[Phillycat]

24. *wham wham wham wham wham*

:rofl:

[otherlander]

25. I seem to remember

a second "Passion" thread... or is it just my imagination?

[PVnRT]

17. I believe Jesus started off the "Ask Me Anything" craze long ago

Then there was the "We are Will Pitt" where we found at we were all chatbots created by Skinner to feed his massive ego.

[madinmaryland]

20. This was a short but funny thread!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2507034

:rofl:

[otherlander]

21. Dude...

why would anyone SAY that? :spray:

[madinmaryland]

31. It took Skinner less than a minute to respond!!

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

45. I knew exactly what that would be

That was a classic, something to be celebrated on DU forever.

And it was funny, too. :P

[redwitch]

55. !

:-)

[enigmatic]

23. The Douchebag thread has lept to the top of my list

It should be made into a mini-series; it's almost like a Irwin Allen Flamefest now...

[madinmaryland]

53. Is being lept the same as screwn?2?

[enigmatic]

57. "Screwn" is part of my vocabulary now

As far as Freeper "words" are concerned, that was a classic:D

[JackBeck]

26. I still get a chuckle the day we invaded GD with smoking threads.

Which resulted in a temporary ban on any threads that mentioned anything to do with smoking.

[hfojvt]

27. Yvrgirl's ATA thread was awesome

the fab three had alot of fun with it. Shoulda brought in Grovelbot though.

The 'bring Sniffa back' thread was pretty epic too. I had my own sub-thread in that one :blush: Can't say it was alot of fun though.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. Yvr's thread was a hoot.

A lot of fun.

[swag]

30. Where the fuck is she?

Not that she ever had anything nice to say about me, but I miss her.

[yvr girl]

69. But I never had anything bad to say about you either.

:hi:

[swag]

79. Give yourself time.

Good to see you.

[mikeytherat]

33. "I'm the Son of God - ask Me anything!"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=106088

mikey_the_rat

[Phillycat]

34. Oh, I loved that thread.

I actually never understood why they TS'd that guy - his responses were thoughtful and extremely respectful toward the Christian religion. It was also funny and sweet. :)

[enigmatic]

35. Oh man, I've never seen that one before

That was brilliant, and oddly sweet; that's a Jesus I'd break bread with..

[crispini]

36. OMG, that's a RIOT!

:rofl:

[PVnRT]

62. Ahhhh there it is

I wasn't able to find it when I searched the archives yesterday.

[mtnester]

65. Sort of ironic that Jesus Christ was tombstoned as being a disruptor

highest irony

Oh, and that IS STILL my all time favorite thread.

[LSK]

37. Call Congress RIGHT FUCKING NOW

[LynneSin]

38. OK I CALLED NOW WHAT

Joe Biden says he doesn't have all day to wait around to hear what I have to say

[LSK]

40. im still waiting to find out why we should call

did anyone ever find out?

[LynneSin]

49. Man Obama must be pissed at you for making him wait that long

You know he's running for prez and you're trying to twart his effort

[Maddy McCall]

Matcom will agree with me on this one.

The thread in ATA in which a new poster started a new thread to inform Skinner that said new poster couldn't post on DU.

:D

That is, unless the douchebag thread is now his favorite. :rofl:

[matcom]

44. i remember. that AND

i'm more patriotic than YOU! :rofl:

[crispini]

39. ATTention DU XULTAR IS DRUnk @ the airport

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2957505

That one was awesome.

[Maddy McCall]

41. Oh yeah, and DS1's manbox thread in which he and Matcom....

were scritch scritch scritching.

:rofl:


That was the oddest, funniest thread ever. I really wish DS1 were still here. No one has as irreverent a sense of humor as his.

[youthere]

42. The "Bread for Billyskank Fundraising Thread"

Ah yes..good times.

[youthere]

43. Oh and the whole "Fat Actress" thing.

[TheBaldyMan]

50. the whole DU lounge Bread Riot thing was gobsmackingly amazing

[youthere]

52. Nothing like 165 bread-themed threads to chew up some bandwidth!

[sarge43]

46. ZombieNixon's "Easter Fun With Peeps" n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

47. the one thread i remember was the "fun is over" thread by skinner

hillarious

[LostinVA]

48. The Democracy thread

Possibly the only sex thread to be locked and unlocked, because it couldn't be proven it was a thread about oral sex.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

51. The "I'm scared of those happy, racist, cartoon penguins" thread

Not surprisingly, the same person's in the douchbag thread.

[redwitch]

54. A "Best/Worst of DU" would be a great coffee table book

I would buy it, I have a hard time navigating the archives and it takes too long. :-)

[VelmaD]

56. nothingshocksmeanymore in ATA...

asking the admins where her keys were...and getting several hundred replies.

That or Skinner coming into the Lounge to sing Kumba Ya.

Oh...and am I the only one who misses short bus president and The Grotto?

[u4ic]

58. You dildos forgot this one...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=178114&mesg_id=178114

[enigmatic]

59. That was funny!

I miss you, Teena:)

[u4ic]

60. Hey, enigmatic!

:hug:

Are you 100% yet?


I've been feeling like I've been coming down with something for a week. I expect to wake up very sick the next day, but no go...just the vague feelings of sick. Dang, I just want to get it over and done with. :crazy:

[enigmatic]

61. Oh No!

:hug:

Take care of yourself! I'm almost over it; man, the insane, vivid dreams I've been having since this hit have really interesting, and I'm one of those who doesn't remember their dreams often...

[u4ic]

64. Thanks

It seems like something wants to hit me, but doesn't have quite the strength yet. Here's hoping that it never does!


Ooh, I had one of those flus years ago. Really weird dreams - I even woke up in odd positions, once not even in my bed. I'm not a sleepwalker or anything of the sort, I just remembered having dreams about swordfights and woke up, sprawled out on the floor on the other side of my bedroom. :crazy:

I'm glad you're through the worst of it. :hug:

[buddhamama]

63. a classic! as so many of nsma's are

her "Posting On DU: A Survival Guide" was the first Lounge thread i ever bookmarked. it is not quite as funny now because the pics, gifs, etc., are missing but at the time it was a work of art. :hi:

[underpants]

67. dupe

what was it like 1,200 posts or something like that.

[MissMillie]

68. Who was that guy that went to a party w/ his wife and wouldn't eat or drink anything?

Because it was a party being thrown by HER work friends

[Ann Arbor Dem]

71. "I don't drink with you."

That was brilliant. Does anyone have that link?
I believe the same man reported that he had been hit by a car and wondered if he should do something about it.

[AngryAmish]

78. My favorite all-time thread

[Phillycat]

73. RGBolen?

I think he's gone now. :shrug: That was the weirdest damned thread ever.

[underpants]

70. Things NOT to say when seeing "The Passion"

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/underpants/16

[underpants]

72. Laura Branigan died yesterday

or something like that :eyes:

[underpants]

74. (excuse me while I indulge myself) Tim Russert throws like a GIRL!!!

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/underpants/19

[underpants]

76. and **THE CHICKENHAWK HAS LANDED**

Didn't save that one. But it was memorable because it was in LBN and they let it pass and because we all knew that W's little stunt was WAY premature.

[underpants]

77. oh and OSCAR

I had nothing to do with that and I regret it because that was comedy genius.

[belladonna]

75. A DU Story.....As Told Through Emoticons

Magic Rat did it... I'd post the link, but most of the emoticons are missing.
