Favorite Moments From DU This Year

[Symarip]

Poll question: Favorite Moments From DU This Year

So the year's almost over and as a typical DU member, I'm inclined to categorize everything that's happened and give it a ranking.

Listing all things I find lulzy, what was your favorite DU event of the year? If you don't see your favorite, feel free to list it.

[DS1]

1. Radio_Lady finally gets nuked

This is Audio Al speaking! Stop making fun of my wife, she's a kind loving person and doesn't deserve this abuse! I will report you to the authorities!

Alerting!

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. I miss that.

I'm sick like that.

[DS1]

6. Me too.

It was wicked fun

[bicentennial_baby]

5. IGNORE!

:rofl:

[DS1]

14. Stay on topic in my threads

You are being discourteous and I'm alerting the mods on you

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Mods please remove this disruptive post.

By an unregulated DUer.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. IGNORE

I'm off to review Bolt. Be back later.

[Dr. Strange]

34. Unregulated?

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Midlo Reviews: DS1's post.

Short, snarky, to the point.


I give it five thumbs up.


:thumbsup:

[DS1]

11. The Patron Saint of Urban Olives

Godspeed, Frequency_Gal!

[Midlodemocrat]

17. *sniff* I'm a little verklempt now.

[JackBeck]

20. Larry King does not approve. Larry King mad.

[DS1]

25. I wonder what it's like to suck off a gecko in a 57 Chevy

Wait. No I don't

[JackBeck]

29. Oh. My. God.

I think you just ruined me.

If you've been missing her, I know of a place where you can catch up.

[DS1]

30. I found it a few minutes ago

and found this:


http://drackies.blogspot.com/2008/10/who-is-ellen-kimball-and-why-is-she.html

[JackBeck]

36. "I always tell people that I dated Larry King but didn't marry him. It's a cocktail party classic! "

Oh, man. I owe you big time.

[DS1]

38. I just got to that

I love how the anonymous people show up ripping on this Frank guy for about a week, then she comes back saying she was on vacation.


The woman has lost it.

[Radical Activist]

115. I used that line just last week.

A classic!

[bicentennial_baby]

39. Oh, thank you

I needed that. :bounce:

[JackBeck]

41. "As far as performing fellatio on him, no -- we were all too tired at 5 AM."

:rofl: :spray:

[bicentennial_baby]

43. I just PM'd Sniffa that link...wouldn't want him to miss it

:wow:

:rofl:

[redqueen]

44. What the crap?

Okay, now I gotta look.

[JackBeck]

I think I need my security blanket,.

Or some intense psychotherapy after reading things that will serve as basis of many nightmares for years to come.

[Danger Mouse]

113. Oh come on, how can you be TOO TIRED???

[BarenakedLady]

42. Oh Lord

:eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

45. You need to save that for posterity.

:rofl:

What a nutbag.

[LostinVA]

71. You know she stalked me on another site?

Including sending me nasty PMs full of references to what I wrote here -- LONG AFTER SHE WAS TSED HERE?????!!!!????? Then, she started hounding Haruka in threads, and when Haruka responded, HARUKA was deleted. The Mods there wouldn't do anything because she was just a "confused old lady." We both left the site.

The crazy is strong in that one.

Oh! She also called Retrolounge a "homosexual male" in a thread there. hahahahhaha

[racaulk]

55. OMG, she is batshit insane!

Thanks for sharing that! :rofl:

[JackBeck]

76. And to think she let Larry slip away.

She should have kept him on a shorter leash.

[Midlodemocrat]

94. Personally, I think Larry ran away. Screaming. ...loudly.

[JackBeck]

101. Fortunately, he got away before

Being http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5926709">verbally lynched.

Over 500 responses before the lock. Wow.

[skygazer]

66. The fun never stops with that one

"... continuous legal investigation..."

Better than the Asian woodcarver incident. :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

31. OMG!!

:spray:

:rofl:

[redqueen]

33. What?!

:rofl:

[Mad_Dem_X]

59. Can someone post or PM me

about all that? Somehow I missed it. What happened with her?

[Symarip]

61. Make that a pm for 2

I was in Hawaii for a month or so and I'm thinking I must have missed all the goods.

[Lucian]

74. I'm going to dance to Hispanic music now that I've read your post.

Oh yeah, and I'm going to buy some tamales as well. :eyes:

Yeah, that was one of the best moments of the year.

[Oeditpus Rex]

93. Featuring Paco Rabinowitz on guitarrón and yard rake

¡Viva la shtetl!

[flvegan]

77. Tamales!

[DS1]

82. Tamales?

I must have missed that one after going on forced ignore. Which I can't remove even after she's gone.

[flvegan]

86. Her swan song:

Radio_Lady (1000+ posts) Click to send private message to this author Click to view this author's profile Click to add this author to your buddy list Click to add this author to your Ignore list Sun Jul-27-08 07:18 PM
Original message
Hooray! Tamales! We went to a yard sale and a lovely woman made them from scratch!

Edited on Sun Jul-27-08 07:30 PM by Radio_Lady
Her whole family was outside, assisting with the sale. We gave them $10 for kids' clothes and dollies and $2 for two tamales.

Then, in my rather loud and and non-fluent (!) Spanish, I broke out in song:

"Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones."

Everybody applauded when I finished! Wow!

I'm going to try and learn the other lyrics, found on the Internet.

People are wonderful.

Thanks for reading this.

Radio Lady Ellen

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

De la sierra, morena
cielito lindo vienen bajando
un par de ojitos negros
cielito lindo de contrabando

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo
junto a la boca, no se lo des a nadie
cielito lindo que a mi me toca

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

[Danger Mouse]

108. Five hundred pounds of crazy in a ten pound bag.

[FloridaJudy]

89. But only if the tamales are made

By an Asian woodcarver. Man, that was like watching a really, really bad accident in slow motion.

[WolverineDG]

91. Damn, I missed that

:(

dg

[Bryan]

92. Whoa, Radio_Lady got tombstoned?

This I've gotta see. I wasn't aware of this because I'd had her on Ignore ever since I read her proud account of only eating sandwiches during her tour of Europe. There's some folks that, if they don't know, you can't tell 'em...

[Danger Mouse]

107. We'll have to nuke the site from orbit.

[charlie and algernon]

2. I missed the rickroll of GDP, what happened?

anyone got a link?

[DS1]

4. What happened?

What always happens when someone is Rick Rolled?

[charlie and algernon]

10. i know what happens in general

but being this was worthy of being mentioned a month after the fact, it must've been legendary or something

[Symarip]

8. The guy who did it is a real jerk

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=7758117

[charlie and algernon]

15. heh, nice

[Symarip]

19. The RickRoll was only the tip of the iceberg

The whole night everyone was posting like chickens with their heads off.

"OMFG Virginia FUCKING SUX!!!!!111"

"This election is going to be the tightest one yet because it was stolen"

"It wouldn't be this way if we nominated Hillary"


All kinds of lulzy fun.

[charlie and algernon]

28. I'm glad i missed THAT

was working till polls closed on a congressional campaign, didn't make it home from the parties till after midnight. I figured DU would make a lunatic asylum seem perfectly normal.

[Bake]

69. I loved the self-righteous replies

Like the always-classic, "Keep that shit in the Lounge ..." (as if they were doing something IMPORTANT in GDP ...).

:rofl:

Bake

[Danger Mouse]

110. GD:P is serious business, buster.

It's the verbal equivalent of cavemen sitting in a circle and smashing each other over the head with large rocks.

[Fire Walk With Me]

83. 4. Keep that shit in the Lounge

Rick Astley...wants to be free! :cry:

[KamaAina]

95. I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!

All hail the undisputed Master of the Rick Roll!

[Symarip]

97. You're partially to blame

I watched you do it in the Lounge first on election night and then someone hinted it'd be funny somewhere else... I figured a lewd reference to John McCain would yield maximum click throughs in a minimal amount of time.

[KamaAina]

98. Oh, that's right. It's all coming back to me.

I wussed out on doing it outside the friendly confines of the Lounge, basically.

One of the best Rick Rolls of the year, but the champ has to be:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL-hNMJvcyI

Stick with it...

[nickgutierrez]

104. Haha, I missed that one too.

I like how the first few replies actually helped the joke along, perpetuating the idea (intended or not) that it was the kind of thing that might actually appear in a GD: P post. As opposed to, say, a RickRoll.

(Seriously, people have to stop doing that breathless OMG WATCH THIS VIDEO crap.)

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Wal Mart? What kind of an UnAmerican terrorist shops there?

Jeebus.

[Symarip]

12. An obvious Freeper

I bet she donates to Olive Garden political events while sipping boxed-wine spritzers.

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Other: You ugly fucking fuck!

"a poor man's Ronald McDonald" :rofl:

[redqueen]

24. Yeah... that was great!

:D

I still haven't voted. I'm afraid I'm going to think of something more favoriter later. :P

[MrCoffee]

16. Lee Mercer Jr.

(all three) :patriot:

[Midlodemocrat]

21. I miss his national and international presence.

[FloridaJudy]

90. All three! n/t

[NewJeffCT]

46. I might go for Lee as well

waiting for the movie to come out soon.

[BarenakedLady]

22. That one time

When that dude wrote that post about that thing.

Yeah, that time.

[Symarip]

23. Oh yeahhhh

Good times.

[Aristus]

26. William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

When he has one, anyway...

[NightWatcher]

32. when dont tuch the but made it into the Sarah Palin forum

[Midlodemocrat]

35. Oh, that was classic.

:rofl:

Apparently, I'm not banned anymore. Hmmm...

[mcctatas]

87. When was this?

:rofl:

[fizzgig]

100. we had way too much fun with that

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=8171307

:rofl:

[Fire Walk With Me]

105. That is splendid! What a chuckle!

[Dr. Strange]

37. So hard to choose just one.

Based on my bookmarks, though:

The ill-fated campaign of Lee Mercer, Jr
The Rise of Chuggo
The Fall of Raid-Dio-Lady
The Rise and Fall of Asher Heimermann
Don't Tutch the But
mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them
Most any thread invoking Chick tracts

[LostinVA]

47. Asher is my fav

Including Midlo's ringing endorsement of him.

[Symarip]

48. I do love Chick tracts

Endless supply of lulz.

[Fire Walk With Me]

84. Chick Tracts are golden.

Was there ever one detailing aspects of UFOs? That would be grand.

[TZ]

62. I picked Don't Tutch the But in the poll...

But now that I'm reminded of it, I actually think your Chick Tract thread is the best one...:yourock:

[LeftyFingerPop]

40. The mysterious elbow sequence.

[JVS]

49. It was "Elton John Hates America"

[Symarip]

50. I'm fixing it as you read this

Correction noted.

He's only a terrorist in my mind, I guess.

[Symarip]

51. Oops

Too late to edit.

Well, we all know what it is.

[JVS]

52. Hating America leads to terrorism, but Elton was at that intermediate hate spewing stage

[Shell Beau]

53. The one where the person accidentally replied to a post by starting a thread.

Something like "mainly because half the people I was with believed it at the time" or something.

[racaulk]

56. Yeah, that was pretty funny!

And I think they accidentally started this as an OP in GDP, of all places! Poor thing...

:rofl:

[racaulk]

54. Other: DuStrange's "Chick Tract" spoof

Classic, and pure genius! :rofl:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=7948698

[redqueen]

57. Oh yeah, that's good!

I'm so thankful for this thread... so I can catch up on all the funny I missed. :D

[TZ]

58. Oh yes. How could I forget that!

Indeed genius.

[BarenakedLady]

60. Omg I missed that!

:rofl:

I must have been on hiatus.

[Dr. Strange]

75. I agree with this post.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

63. DS1's Lord of the Chuggo

[DS1]

65. yay!

[LynneSin]

64. Where the hell is Zozosmom

seriously my vote goes there!

[Symarip]

67. It's amazing how someone with 24 posts had such an impact.

I miss her so.

[LynneSin]

68. I know - she was an inspiration to us all

:eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

70. But what the hell did she do with that kid? Did we ever find out?

[LostinVA]

73. Duh -- of course we did

Asher is zozoschild.

[Symarip]

102. Now it all makes sense

... I think.

[mainegreen]

72. It was when the hydrogen-perpetual motion machine people went crazy in GD for about a week

God, they're funny. And fun as hell to rail on.

[LostinVA]

78. I was going to say Haruka being let back onto DU

But now I hardly ever get the laptop at home, so instead I'll say:

The Conference Call

[LanternWaste]

79. Martial Law and the cancellation of the elections...

Bush enacts Martial Law and the eventual cancellation of the elections.

O-k, sure-- I surf through the 9-11 forums a bit too much, but that was a particular strain that made it out of 9-11 and into both GD and GD: P for awhile.

(and I'd hazard a guess there's a itchy typing finer or two out there jumping at the chance to write, "but the ceremony won't be taking place for a month and half, there's still time y'know...")

[BarenakedLady]

80. The Lounge Orgy

That was some good screwin'

[Inchworm]

81. Darn, I missed that'n

You get any pictures?

:evilgrin:

[BarenakedLady]

85. Really?

I could have sworn that was you in the corner.

;)

[Symarip]

88. I don't think I was there.

Next orgy, I'm in.

I get top!

[Symarip]

96. ???

I'm beating out Pots n Pans. Wow. I thought the PnP incident would be doing much better.

[Bake]

99. The "adjusting your package" thread deserves at least an Honorable Mention!

:rofl:

Bake

[emilyg]

103. Yep.

[Danger Mouse]

106. I vote for Chuggo. He was my hero.

[Jamastiene]

109. Haruka is baaaaa-aaaaaack!

I'm so happy to see her back. :)

[MilesColtrane]

111. You gotta love the little but tutcher, but c'mon...

...Chuggo's got a motherfucking skull on a motherfucking stick!

[elshiva]

112. Don't Tutch the But

[Manifestor_of_Light]

114. Radio Lady. Hmm.

I didn't know she had been TSed.

Seems to be egotistical to me.

I would never post all that personal info and pictures on the net.
