[datasuspect]

[Radical Activist]

12. Some threads are known unknowns

others are unknown unknowns. That is, you don't know that you don't know what its really about.

[datasuspect]

15. i'll just have to quote robert deniro from "the deerhunter"

when they are hunting and the squiggly guy gets out of pocket and bobbie deniro holds the bullet and says, "this is this."

[GoneOffShore]

3. I thought this was the "kid's table."

And that the "Serious Side" was the "grown up's table".

[datasuspect]

i have to eat standing up.

I'm lost now, adrift if you will.

[datasuspect]

[mainegreen]

17. It's what happens when your classically trained robot gets drunk and plays with your records.

[KitchenWitch]

5. You have been in the Lounge long enough to know that...

Threads are never about what they SEEM to be about...

:shrug:

[AllegroRondo]

9. all threads are really just sex threads

disguised by layers upon layers of innuendo

[datasuspect]

10. i take a light hearted approach to practically everything

external to myself. but i have to admit, i feel snookered somewhat when i post to an obvious flamewar and don't realize it until sometime later what it's REALLY about.

[idgiehkt]

6. yeah baby

the hook brings you back...unfortunately

The foxes are guarding the hen house in this case, so I think we are just gonna have to lump it.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

7. What do you mean by that?

Does your OP really want to split us up into "grown-up" and "kids" tables?

FOOD FIGHT!!!!!

:rofl:

And, do you mean all of DU, or just the Lounge?

How big a table are we gonna need?

[datasuspect]

11. a big one i think

i'm too busy cooking though.

[WindRavenX]

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. "deleted for content"? What's that supposed to mean?

19. Ever get the feeling that you've walked into a great cesspool of drama?

Me, I just play Steely Dan and the Allman Brothers and Miles Davis and Bill Evans and deride all nonsensical cliques. This ain't my high school, folks. Stop attempting to return to being a teenager; frankly, we don't want or need it. We're fools enough without grown adults trying to slide back into our ranks.

[Reverend_Smitty]

20. I think the saddest adult realization I've made...

is that 99% of the people are just like they were in high school. Nothing changes, people still act the same except the stakes are higher. So as much as you'd like to escape drama and think you will leave it all behind in high school...it just doesn't happen unfortunately. I've seen too many "adults" act like 14 year olds and quite frankly it sucks

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. And a lot of them seem to congregate on DU, as well.

:eyes:

[amitten]

27. Can I sit at the grown-ups table? 'Cuz I'm tired. n/t

[reyd reid reed]

28. Can I be at the grown-up's table?

I promise not to throw my smashed taters. And I won't smush my peas into the tablecloth. I'll even keep my elbows off the table. I can't promise what I'll do with the jello, though....

So....can I, can I, can I? Huh, huh, huh???

Pleeeeeeeease????

[OllieLotte]

29. Agreed. n/t
