True confessions time: Your dumbest, absolute worst "D'OH!!!" moment on DU!

[SacredCow]

Link 'em if you got 'em!

Mine was a discussion about how porn star Marey Carey was going to auction off her removed implants for charity (and there was a pic of her in the linked article). I don't know how, but I had it in my mind that it was Mariah Carey, and somehow thought that the pic of Mary Carey was Mariah after horrible bouts of plastic surgery! I was at the end of a rough week, and that was a sure sign that I was a basket case and completely incapable of a logical post! Link below, but I edited my post appropriately.

1. Once suggesting that Cameron Diaz hadn't aged particularly well.

Got some flack for that.

[TZ]

2. hmm

No I think your moment had to do more with Sex and the City and one poster named LynneSin! :P

[SacredCow]

9. I got some, too, for commenting on Renee Zellweiger....

and her mega-skinny look. I was told that she was just a thin-framed woman and I was too used to looking at obese American women. :spank:

[MrScorpio]

3. A conversation about Israel that almost started a war in GD

It was radioactive

[SacredCow]

4. Starting a war in GD-

Like shooting proverbial fish in a proverbial barrel!

:hi:

[MrScorpio]

5. Normally, they respect my space and opinions there

But that time it go waaaaay out of control

[1gobluedem]

6. I said some things about the south that I shouldn't have

After their senators derailed the US automakers bridge loan requests and tried to humiliate them into the bargain. I was very, very angry but it doesn't excuse my behavior. I was roundly scolded and I deserved it.

(But I still hate those senators with a deadly loathing).

Edited for typo.

[SacredCow]

7. I might have jumped into that fracas.....

being a southerner, but I don't specifically recall it.

[Shell Beau]

8. That is freakin' hilarious!

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. I can't link them because they were PM's that were meant to be alerts...

Boy, was my face red...

I used to accidentally PM people instead of alerting on them, which led to some rather...er...interesting PM conversations. Trying to backpedal out of my own idiocy.

[SacredCow]

11. Oh, myyyyyy.....

Awkward with a capital AWK!!!!!

:hi:

[madinmaryland]

12. Have you ever posted something that you thought you pm'ing??

:blush:

Then you are try to delete the message, before everyone reads it!

:blush:

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. I posted about a DUer in GD instead of the Mod Forum...OMG...I can't

be trusted. Luckily, it was deleted fairly quickly and that DUer is no longer with us. :blush:

[Inchworm]

36. Yup!

:rofl:

[Shell Beau]

23. Oh that is classic!

But no one could be mad at you for too long. :)

[Ptah]

14. I thought I was the only one that Peggy called 'My Dear'

:blush:

[TZ]

15. I've done this a couple of times

write up a longish scathing post in reply to something someone has said and inadvertently replied to the wrong person..And ended up getting a WTF? reply from them..:blush:

[SacredCow]

18. Oh, I constantly reply to the wrong post....

That's almost daily for me!

:crazy:

[TZ]

19. Yeah but its one thing to post in the wrong spot in teh Lounge

Its another thing in the middle of a hugh flamewar in GD and you accidently flame someone who was agreeing with you..:scared:

[SacredCow]

20. Yeah, that takes it to the next level....

:hi:

[CreekDog]

16. At least you didn't confuse them with Harry Caray!

:rofl: :wtf:

[SacredCow]

17. I was frazzled.... But not totally blind!

:rofl:

[dembotoz]

21. hitting the post message button more than once...my computer is slow sometimes

but i try not to do that anymore.
sometimes i don't read things accurately enough and i post what i think someone said not what they actually said

[crispini]

52. Did you do that on purpose just now? LOL! nt

[LanternWaste]

24. I once asked if White Castle burgers were really *that* good...

I once asked if White Castle burgers were really *that* good. As flame wars go, it was pretty far down the list, violence-wise-- but it did teach me a lesson: Flame Wars can start at the drop of a pin...

[SacredCow]

25. Yep. I started a mild one about Pizza....

It seems that some DUers have VERY specific definitions of what defines a pizza. Of course, it was somewhat fodder to begin with, as I instigated the whole mess by calling out California Pizza Kitchen for their froo-froo gorgonzola and pear pizzas....

[BeachBaby]

26. Thinking that temeah was a woman.

It was brief, but it was poignant. :blush:

[SacredCow]

27. zOMG!!!111!elevens!!11!!

:hi:

[TZ]

30. You did?

OMG....:rofl:

You better hope Creekdog doesn't see this..:crazy:

[BeachBaby]

37. Don't you laugh at me, sister.....

It was YOU AND THE DUDE who had me thinking he was a woman. Sheesh. :P

[Dr. Strange]

39. I'm in tears here...

I'm laughing so hard!

[BeachBaby]

43. Glad to be your source of entertainment today!

:spank:

[Left Is Write]

28. Hmmm. Maybe the time I inadvertently shaved 10 years off McCain's age.

[Symarip]

29. I spawned a thousand copycat threads

The day I realized Miley Cyrus is Hannah Montana.

But I was kind of proud of my ignorance.

[SacredCow]

31. Ignorant of Miley/Hannah????

I salute you, sir. You haz mad skillz in ignoring teh suck!

[skygazer]

32. Asking for opinions about AA

What a mistake that was! :wow:

[SacredCow]

33. I think I remember that.....

and that it got a bit heated!

[Inchworm]

34. Posted a PM as a thread in the Lounge

It was up for about 30seconds, and it was a slow DU hour. I don't think anyone saw it :D

It was rather pevvy the best I recollect. :blush:

:hi:

[TZ]

35. .

Damn...I would have loved to see it..;)

[Dr. Strange]

38. I still have it.

I'll post it later, after Inchy is gone.

[TZ]

40. uh oh

better not let fivegan know..he'll be mad you cheated on him....:evilgrin:

[Dr. Strange]

44. The thing with flvegan isn't serious.

He knows he's just there for "booty duty."

[Inchworm]

47. Oh noes!

Please change my name in the PM to Hillbilly Stud and the recipient's name to Sexy Beast, ok?

:rofl:

:hi:

[DarkTirade]

41. It was a discussion about video games and I had an opinion to offer.

Unfortunately I'd also taken a sleeping pill and was starting to get a little loopy.

I constructed a sentance in two ways in my head, one was to say 'There is a dearth of good original games' the other was to say 'There is a glut of over-hyped unoriginal games'. Unfortunately I combined the two and said, "There is a dearth of over-hyped unoriginal games." Only I was so zonked out that on top of that, I spelled it 'derth' instead of 'dearth'.

And I didn't notice until after it was too late to edit it. :P

[Dr. Strange]

42. This one time...

I noticed that a certain DUer wasn't posting nearly as much as they had been. So I checked their profile and found out they were tombstoned. Then I started a thread asking about it, and some flamewars erupted.

No wait, that wasn't me. That was Orrex.

:evilgrin:

[TZ]

45. .

:rofl: You are on a roll today!

Do you know though I thought you were gonna say "this one time at band camp"....

[SacredCow]

51. That's what I thought, too.....

then something about a flute, I think....

[BarenakedLady]

46. None

My posting history is blemishless.

O8)

[Robb]

48. Yes. As is mine.

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

49. It ain't easy being perfect.

in every way.

:D

[Haole Girl]

50. A certain sticky I put up

that was quickly removed.

It was also a very rough week for me. And it was before my request to place a certain person on admin-forced ignore happened.

I'm glad the admins didn't TS me.

[Phentex]

53. I Asked an Administrator...

All I did was ask a question. I was warned not to do it again.

I was new and I'm sure it was innocent but I quickly learned you need a high post count to be taken at face value.

:scared:

[SacredCow]

54. It does take time to get accepted by the clique....

sometimes I still feel like an outsider....

:scared:

[crimsonblue]

56. you are an outsider.

:P

[SacredCow]

57. Et tu, Brute?????

:cry:

[Left Is Write]

58. Speaking of which...I miss the ATA forum.

[crimsonblue]

55. probably one of many times I got sloshed to oblivion

and proceeded to go on malevolent rants, one of which resulted my self-imposed 60 exile from DU. :blush:
