I think a big war is about to start in the GD room

[Lost-in-FL]

about flowers... :yoiks:


But WHY????????????????

[Madspirit]

1. Ummm...because people like to fight. n/t

[Maddy McCall]

2. Because...

some people don't appreciate others' opinions that a donation to the cancer society might be more appreciated by the receiver.

And also because some people are just assholes.

:shrug:

3. Perfect chance for those who make their homes under aquatic infrastructure

to dive in.

[femmedem]

4. Uh oh.

It's got 4 R's, too. :scared:

Edit to add: I don't think it's going to be as big as the war already going on about CodePink.

[Madspirit]

6. Maybe

I've got an idea. Maybe we could figure out how to combine the two into one thread. Something about Code Pink and flowers. That fight could be great.

8. Someone already dropped a Brazilian and Olive Garden reference into it!

I LOVE DU! :rofl:

[femmedem]

13. They have a subthread about toilet paper.

Are those lounge regulars? I'm new to the Lounge.

[blondeatlast]

22. Ahem. I know nothing. Nothing at all (humming and looking away)

FWIW, I'm a Lounge drop-in, not a regular.

[femmedem]

24. Good one!

:toast:

[femmedem]

9. We could ask Skinner if we could start a group

to send flowers to Code Pink?

You have an evil side, don't you. I like that.

[Madspirit]

14. Yes, I do have an Evil side

...and it just seems really easy to get people here to fight about...just about anything. <g>

27. Pink flowers?

I'm partial to pink carns, myself. The little ones.

5. Until recently,

I didn't think it was possible for people to get their panties in a wad over the usage of the term "douchebag".

:banghead:

Nothing in GD ever really surprises me anymore.

[femmedem]

11. Why are you using the hiding emoticon?

Don't you have any balls?

[jakefrep]

16. Chose the wrong one, I guess.

[femmedem]

17. Kidding! Kidding!

Did you miss the fights about the word balls?

[jakefrep]

21. I guess so...

...that must have been a doozy.

[femmedem]

25. I can summarize:

"Only the vilest, most patriarchal, most woman-hating pig would equate testes with bravery. As if woman aren't brave. As if testosterone is a necessary ingredient of courage. As if--"

"You are a humorless scold."

Don't get me wrong. I came down on the side of the humorless scolds on this one. :)

7. I posted earlier that no flowers should be sent to the Edwards

because as was decided weeks ago, the square footage of their house is just too big.

Some people didn't get the sarcasm... :shrug:

[Lost-in-FL]

10. LOL!!!

:spray:

[huskerlaw]

12. Perhaps we should send

politically correct lightbulbs instead??

:yoiks:

[NightWatcher]

15. I feel bad, I suggested the flowers

thought I was being a good guy. That'll learn me

[femmedem]

18. You should have asked the people in the lounge.

:hug:

The crafters are nice, too.

[Lost-in-FL]

19. See what you did???????!!!!///?//

:rant:






Just kidding!! :hi: Don't feel bad... That was a very nice gesture. Some people just don't know how to be nice or how to suggest without being insulting. I just don't understand DU at times.

[Madspirit]

20. I think it was nice.

I love to get flowers. There are people here who would object and complain if you explained how you tie your shoes. Really.

[Critters2]

23. OMG!! You're right!! I just read two threads about it.

What is wrong with these people?!

[jobycom]

26. That's what GD stands for, you know.

It stands for "God Damnit I'm right and you are an ignorant Moran!" GDIRAYAAIM was just too long, although, ironically, it is a good approximation for spelling the Dean scream.
