Just like Brando, I'm gonna have Sacheen Littlefeather refuse to accept my f**kin' DUzy. SO THERE!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Pictured below: Sacheen rejects the DUzy I received for my legendary thread, "Do You Dress On The Left Or The Right?"



It's my own form of protest against the people who protest the non-stop violence, full-frontal nudity, and general lackadaisical tone of my posts.

ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

1. Well, you just go ahead and do that, if you want to feel all Marlon-y. And

if you NEVER EVER want to be awarded another.
Frankly, my dear, the Academy does not take kindly to being dissed, even by the likes of you!
So think about it. You think realllll hard.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

2. No, the Academy lives for my rejection.

And I'm still MORE than a little upset over the unexpected backlash I received over my "Betsy Ross: Flag Weaving Dominatrix or Patriot Next Door" thread. I said things that needed to be said and the lightweights in the Lounge couldn't HANDLE it.

BOO-frikkin'-HOO!

:evilgrin:

[hisownpetard]

3. Maybe they don't like the picture in your sig line - I mean, the guy has such a bad

complexion!

Ed:typo

[Amerigo Vespucci]

4. I may just use my own photo in my sig line pic, for two reasons:

FIRST, I am so DAMNED handsome, that I feel it would be a case of "giving back" to DU. And I am most certainly a "giver."

SECOND, when one of the inevitable "PIC THREAD" threads is posted, I'd have to do nothing more than show up in order to participate.

:evilgrin:

[hisownpetard]

7. It would be a welcome improvement. And we - the DU 'we - would be blessed

by your act of 'giving back.'

Whadda guy.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

11. OK, here it comes, and REMEMBER...YOU asked for it.

This is from a week or so ago, a photo I took ESPECIALLY to appease the masses for one of the aforementioned "post your photo" threads.

[hisownpetard]

14. MUCH bettr than the old scratchy-faced guy you've got right under you!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. OK, give me five minutes.

JUST because you encouraged me to do it.

:grouphug:

[hisownpetard]

28. You say you're doing it "just because I encouraged you to do it." Nice, right?

And then you post a smiley with a WHOLE CROWD of people hugging and feeling around.
Are you trying to tell me something here?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

30. YES.

I'm trying to tell you that you ROCK, but you won't LET me.

:evilgrin:

[hisownpetard]

27. How do you post a photo here? (I really don't know how).

[Amerigo Vespucci]

31. Steps to posting a photo:

You need a source. Photobucket is free, and used by many DUers (including me):

http://www.photobucket.com

Sign up for a free account, upload your photos from your hard drive, post the "Direct Link" on DU.

PM me if you need assistance.

[hisownpetard]

45. I did everything up to the part where you're supposed to say, Direct Link, or something.

Now I'm stumped.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

49. You got a Photobucket account and uploaded your photo, yes?

OK, then you click on the "My Album" tab near the top. Under each photo you;ve uploaded you will see:

Email & IM
Direct Link
HTML Code
IMG Code

If you click in the "Direct Link" text box, you will have the code you need to copy and paste into your DU thread.

Try that and let me know if you still need help.

:-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Dude, Sacheen Littlefeather's real name was

somethin' like Doris Katzenkrümper.



:P

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. Yes, I know, and that's 95% of the joke here...

...hoping that someone like you would remember that and post it, and you did...

So I SALUTE you, my friend!

:toast:

[hisownpetard]

9. And you are saluting him with exactly how many fingers?

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. *peers*

Looks like two to me. :shrug:



Either he was a Cub Scout or he's British.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

12. HEY! Are you ATTEMPTING to hijack my thread?

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Not only that

but she appears to be trying to set you 'n' me a-fightin'. :(









Maybe I should just casually mention what "petard" means in French.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

18. Uh oh...a "wedge issue," which as we all know, is...

...one step away from a WEDGIE!

DAMN you, H.U.H.O.P.!

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

24. H.U.H.O.P.???

[Amerigo Vespucci]

32. I added "Hoist Upon." SUE me.

I'm still a little teed off about your remarks about me calling myself the 'pooch.

Maybe MORE than a little.

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

43. Well, it certainly seems that someone's little feelings may have gotten a tad bruised

during prior discussions. All my life, I was taught that it's pronounced A-mer-i-go Ves-PYEW-shee.
So, "PYOOCH," in my anally analytical mind, would be more correct. However, if you feel comfortable in telling me that
all my teachers who gave of their time and love and hearts in trying to impart knowledge to youngsters of all races and stripes (ARE
there striped children?), that those teachers were, well, just DUMB and WRONG, then I guess I'll have to live with that
revisionist history.

And YOU'LL have to live with my resultant depression!!!!!!!!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

46. I'm the 'pooch, dammit! It's like "The Fonz" but a trillion times COOLER!

And hey, I live with all KINDS of things every DAY. I'll just add your adolescent drama to MY LIST.

Like the fact that Major Nelson had a GENIE in a BOTTLE who would have granted ANY WISH he requested, and most of his wishes were "Don't grant any of my wishes."

What the hell was up with THAT?

On another subject, it's OK to admit you like me. A lot. I have that affect on people.

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

48. Apparently, you do! But not too much - 'cause the rest of Du seems to have

tuned out or gone to bed! (Which sounds like a good idea about now).

[Amerigo Vespucci]

51. Gotta be honest, a warm bed sounds good right about now...

...not that I'm not havin' fun-a-plenty on DU, but...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

53. Me, too. Sleep well, MW. I like that picture up there. Maybe next time we can take it

to the next level... ya know, telling me how to post that picture.
Heheheh.

See ya soon!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

56. OKAY, good NIGHT already...How can I MISS you if you won't go AWAY????????

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

58. You'd better not be taking The Fonz lightly. Did you know that there's a movement afoot

to have a statue erected of him, and it's gonna happen. If you contribute, you get
a T-shirt that says, "Bronze the Fonz."

I'm assistant to the Assistant in Charge. So I may be six degrees closer to cool than you, AV.






Sorry!

[Fire Walk With Me]

61. "I'll just add your adolescent drama to MY LIST."

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

47. Thanks the for HUHOP moniker, but it makes me feel like a Pancake House or

a reject who didn't quite make it in the hip-hop world but can't figure out why.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

54. It saves time for busy people like me...movers and shakers.

I mean, if I have to say "HI, hisownpetard...how are YOU today, hisownpetard..."

I'm a BUSY MAN!

But if I can say "HEY, HUHOP, wassup?"

Well then I might be more inclined to DO SO.


DEAL with it! I'm an ENTREPRENEUR! I AM A BUSY MAN!

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

57. You can use that big word, if you want to, as long as you pronounce it correctly:

oncha-pinnoor.

[hisownpetard]

17. I bed your PARDON? I don't even know what hijacking a thread IS, much less

how to do it.

Is it considered rude? Because I'm thinking that, if I don't know what it is, I made
already be guilty of having done it. Tell me. Tell me NOW.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

33. Oh, that's good...REALLY good. Keep playing that game, "G"...

"I don't even know what hijacking a thread IS"...

If I had a nickel for every time I heard THAT one, I'd be lighting my cigars with $100 bills.

If I smoked.

Which I don't.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE HERE!

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

39. WRONGO! Whre's the logic, the rationale? If you had a nickel for every time you

heard that story, you'd be lighting your cigar with... a NICKEL. One of many nickels.
It's exhausting. I have to explain EVERYTHING to you.

However, I seriously would like to know what hijacking a thread is, since I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that I may be guilty of
having done that here. Are there CONTRACTS out on me? When I was trying to be friendly and enthusiastic, were people calling me a friggin' HIJACKER
behind my back??!!?! Have people been hatin' on me, as I go semi-blissfully on my way, commenting here, commenting there, offering encouragement
and sprinkling sprightly bits of humor, in a caustic but kindly manner, all over the friggin' damn PLACE??

Your prompt response would be much appreciated.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

41. OH, so having to EXPLAIN things UPSETS you. THANK you for another piece of the puzzle.

I think I'm finally starting to figure you out.

Hey, don't rain on my parade if you're "semi-blissfully" going on your way...

I'm fully blissfully Zestfully CLEAN, baby!

I also have no idea what I just said, and try not to get too pissed off over me calling you "baby."

I'm ITALIAN, dammit!

I KNOW you know that! Cut me some SLACK!

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

44. Oh, you just had to throw that in at the end, din'cha, about you being Italian,

knowing that that's my Achilles scungilli.
That's dirty pool, MW.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

50. It's a "catch-all"...

...I mean, with all due respect, who WOULDN'T want to be Italian if they had a choice?

:evilgrin:

[hisownpetard]

52. I couldn't agree more!!!!! No one had the heart to tell me I wasn't Italian till I wa

31.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

55. Wanting to be Italian...

...is just as good as being Italian.

:grouphug:

[hisownpetard]

60. Seriously - how does someone hijack a thread?

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. I actuallly wasn't at all sure about it

Other than I seemed to recall some Hollyweird Insider kinda thing.



I just wanted to type "Doris Katzenkrümper." :)

[XemaSab]

8. I'm sure that's an authentic Seminole/Karuk-style watch

:eyes:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

16. You've seen "Serial," right?

...a movie on my short list for "Why The Hell Isn't This Movie On DVD"...

Anyway...

One of the Marin County Yuppies dies, and they decide to give him an "Authentic Native American Burial," and all of the Authentic Native Americans are wearing NIKE SHOES...

Martin Mull, Tom Smothers, Christoper Lee, Bill Macy...GOD, what a WONDERFUL movie.

:toast:

[XemaSab]

19. I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it

Tam High, class of '95. :patriot:

[hisownpetard]

22. I haven't seen it OR heard of it. Sounds like it stinks.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

37. Jeebus, you're like a mosquito that won't stand still for the spray.

:rofl:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

23. If I had a "Top Ten Greatest Movies Of All Time"...

...it would be on the list.

It's the kind of movie you can watch over and over again (assuming you "get it" the first time...it's definitely a catch the vibe movie)...

It also has Peter Bonerz ("Bob Newhart Show") as a coke-addicted therapist.

If you ever see it in the TV listings, watch it. You'll be glad you did.

[hisownpetard]

26. Is it better than "Ishtar"?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

34. You know, you can insult ME...but when you insult the CLASSICS...

THEM THAR'S FIGHTIN' WORDS!

[hisownpetard]

40. Hey, watch it. I think I dated that guy.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

42. "C.M.S."

"Color Me Surprised"

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

21. No, I haven't seen it. That doesn't mean that I don't love the troops!!!!!!!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

25. Three little words..."WHO...ASKED...YOU?"

:rofl:

I said "Give me five minutes."

NOW you'd better make it EIGHT.

:grouphug:

[hisownpetard]

29. Ooo, I love it when you're forceful.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

35. OK, let's get real, you love it, period. Just call me "Mr. Wonderful."

:spray:

[hisownpetard]

36. OK, MW. Whatever you say!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

38. NOW we're getting somewhere.

:grouphug:

[KamaAina]

59. I already tried that

turns out the DUzy security team are all veterans of Altamont. Bad idea.
