Since Today Seems To Be About DU Past, Who Would You Bring Back?

[Symarip]

Just wave a wand and they get a free pass, who would you bring back from the TS'd past?

Personally, I miss Ben David. That dude was unintentionally the funniest member ever. He talked like he had a militia of underground racists waiting for the Democrats to cause a revolution by nominating Obama. I would need a cigarette after every one of his rants because I was laughing so hard.

So pony up. Who do you want back and why.

[Lucian]

1. Pierre.Smooth

[Symarip]

3. He didn't last long enough for me to get a full sense of lulz

Though every time I hear the word 'pithy' (which isn't often) he automatically comes to mind.

[Left Is Write]

4. You're not his type.

[Symarip]

6. I'm not going to respond to your pithy remarks (nt)

[Left Is Write]

11. No reathon to get pithy, Thymarip!

:D

[madinmaryland]

2. Walt Starr. For the obvious reason!

[Left Is Write]

5. Okay, this is the 204th reference I've seen to Walt Starr today.

I'm completely oblivious to the legend of Walt Starr. Could you PM me some details?

[Dr. Strange]

9. His swansong:

[LibDemAlways]

125. Self-delete

[Jamastiene]

49. Here you go.

It was a classic DU moment.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2507034

[Left Is Write]

51. What I'm oblivious to is what led up to that.

[Jamastiene]

52. The first time he got TSed, it was a glitch.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=4669383

The second time, he asked to be TSed.
:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

53. I believe it was a disagreement about

either illegal immigration, or the Israel-Palestine situation. Don't remember for sure. He was a pretty smart guy overall, but kind of on the obnoxious side.

[Cabcere]

8. If you can't handle his absence, just bring him back right the fuck now.

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Gathp!

Cabthere thaid the 'F' word!

[Cabcere]

54. Pffft.

:P I'm really not as pure and innocent as everyone seems to think I am... ;)

O8) :evilgrin: :dilemma:

[TZ]

Asher Heimermann

Conference call in 15 minutes! One of the funniest threads ever!

[DS1]

32. I still can't believe everyone but one lounger chickened out

It was pretty anti-climactic listening to him wait for more people to show up

[LostinVA]

117. Haruka would have if she wasn't working

I emailed her the thread, and she was bummed she couldn't do it.

[Dr. Strange]

7. zozosmom

And I don't mean her current sock puppet Midloblahblah or whatever. The original zozosmom!

[TZ]

18. But what about suenturtle?

:cry:

[Dr. Strange]

20. I miss suenturtle.

This troll needs to go:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=229864

:mad:

[Symarip]

I just erupted in laughter in my cubicle.

Priceless.

[CreekDog]

29. me too

:rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

78. What. The. Fuck.

[LynneSin]

58. I loved zozosmom - because we're all a bunch of grape kool-aid drinking Obama Zombies

:woohoo:

[mentalsolstice]

84. I'd bring zozosmom just to aggravate Midlo

Just to watch her twist in the wind.

I'm not really picking on Midlo. Without Midlo, I would have been totally unprepared for my first Bunco game a couple of weeks ago. And the hostess had boxed wine. Really and truly! I had a great time! Thank you Midl!

[Midlodemocrat]

109. You are most welcome, LOL.

and, truthfully, I do miss zozosmom. What DID that woman do with that kid? :rofl:

[JVS]

Terwilliger

[Forkboy]

66. What JVS said.

[Bake]

10. I gotta go with Walt Starr!

Just to see him self-destruct one more time!

Bake

[madinmaryland]

12. Jesus Christ. At least for three days.

[JVS]

13. Tony Clifton!

[Shell Beau]

14. I liked Maddy. She was my Mississippi girl.

[Wapsie B]

16. I did too.

I liked her insight on the issues. Very intelligent woman.

[Symarip]

17. I liked her quite a bit too

I'll save my reservations about MonkeyFunk, though he was mostly harmless. I thought Maddy was pretty funny. I helped her diagnose her satellite dish once over the interwebz. I thought that was pretty cool.

[Bake]

35. I miss Maddy too!

But at least she went out with flair!

Bake

[Jamastiene]

50. I miss Maddy terribly.

I wish they'd let her come back at some point. :(

[XemaSab]

61. I'm fine with her staying gone

n/t

[Danger Mouse]

79. I don't blame you one bit.

:hug:
She can stay ts'ed.

[murielm99]

95. I liked Maddy, too.

I miss her. I was not aware that she was tombstoned until recently.

[LisaM]

73. I miss Maddy, too

though I really do, in a DIFFERENT way, miss BenDavid and Asher Heinemann or whatever it was.

[JohnnyLib2]

88. Terrible loss, both Maddy and frog.

:cry:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

93. Ah, Maddy

She was terrific.

Remember?

[Wapsie B]

15. Besides Chuggo?

:shrug:

[LNM]

19. NSMA

I thought she was a great poster. She was very knowledgeable about politics.

[blondeatlast]

22. Maybe she'll come back if she ever finds her keys!

I miss her too; it's a shame when several people you like get divided (I know all too well with my current situation on the home front).

[KamaAina]

107. I think they're on the hood of her car

Please come back... Obi-Wan NSMA, please come back...

[XemaSab]

21. jlake the Hillary troll

He cracked my shit up. :(

[Symarip]

27. Good Call

Many a chuckle over that one.

[JVS]

86. Seabiscuit and his wacky compound rounding and early result projections

[Richardo]

23. I'd bring back The Rules

Esto es ridiculo.

[no name no slogan]

24. Cuban_Liberal and/or Padraig18

What a great pair.
Of asshats.

This is the DU member formerly known as WhoseYerSockpuppet.

[Left Is Write]

30. It wouldn't have to be and/or...

considering they were the same person.

[PVnRT]

25. jiacinto

He was awesomely and unintentionally emo and hilarious at the same time.

[Iggo]

28. Tyler Durden.

Although I'm not sure if he'd wanna.

Anyway, he inspired me to do more than just pay lip service to the civil rights argument in my sig line. And so I do.

[BeachBaby]

31. I second that emotion.

I miss reading his stuff. :(

[Iggo]

33. That dude could get righteously angry, no?

:rofl:

[Bake]

36. Did TD get TS'd or just leave on his own?

He was pretty cool. A victim of primary rage, not an uncommon phenom this cycle.

Bake

[TZ]

40. He got TS'd.

I was sorry to see him go..:(

[flvegan]

34. friesianrider.

I miss her.

[Redstone]

60. And she was fucking gorgeous, too. I know that's shallow, but still...

Redstone

[flvegan]

62. No fucking doubt.

[GOPisEvil]

77. I wonder if she is still dating Terrell Owens.

;)

I don't know that she was, of course, but she always said that his critics on this board didn't know him as a person, etc. And, she is attractive...and she was living in the Philly area at the time... Just sayin'...

[flvegan]

87. We had off board discussions and I do believe she was.

No idea if she still is.

[Bake]

37. Some of you will remember mopaul

Dude had some crazy graphics, and intelligent discourse. I don't recall why he got the granite. I'd bring him back.

Bake

[madinmaryland]

41. mopaul is gone?

:wtf:

[Bake]

48. Wake up, dood, mopaul's been gone for several years ...

Bake

[Philosoraptor]

97. I happen to know he's still around Bake

[Midlodemocrat]

123. Yup. And it's a good thing. He was a good DUer. Or is one, should I say.

[Arugula Latte]

38. No!!!! NOT Ben David.

Gawd, I hated that racist m'f!@#er. :grr:

The other one who drove me up a wall was that Lieberman Lover ... Benchley. *Gak.*

[Symarip]

42. Ben David was the best

He'd always have some impending threat/warning at the end of his rants that would have me in tears.
"Just wait until the Democrats nominate a black boy who has no business in politics blah blah blah. Then we'll see the real revolution."

[Aristus]

39. She wasn't TS'd; just left on her own, but NewWaveChick1981.

Smart, funny, irreverent, beautiful, sexy...she had it all...I miss her. :-(

[Shell Beau]

43. Why oh why did she leave? I didn't even realize.

[Aristus]

57. Personal reasons. She got a new job that was keeping her very busy, for one thing.

There were other reasons, I guess; but they were mostly rumors...

[BOSSHOG]

44. My Good Friend OneEighty

He wasn't tombstoned, he passed away awhile back. Proudly served in the Coast Guard. Very wise man indeed.

[Left Is Write]

46. I really enjoyed his stories.

[dolo amber]

65. That was my first thought as well

Miss that guy. :(

[blondeatlast]

106. He sent me a copy of his book. What a sweet, sweet man. nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

45. Madspirit.

Nuttier than squirrel shit.

She pulled a Walt Starr, but nobody cared.

Also- Radio Lady. She gave us the best flame wars.

Olive Garden, Asian Neighbor, singing La Cucharacha to Mexicans, or whatever the hell that was about.

[no name no slogan]

47. So that's what happened to RadioLady

I go MIA for a few months and miss all the good tombstonings.

This is the DU member formerly known as CollegeLiberalsGhost.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

76. First they came for RadioLady.. and I did not speak up because I was not a RadioLady.

...then they came for me! :scared:

[fudge stripe cookays]

71. No thanks.

I don't need any more 1 AM phone calls. I remember it like yesterday. Her tombing was the best birthday present I ever had.

[arcadian]

85. Who was calling you at 1 am?

And how did they get your number?

[fudge stripe cookays]

90. Before everyone knew she was an utter loon...

I volunteered to appear on Radio Lady's stupid radio show for a feature on folks who'd met their spouses over the internet.

When I, like most other people on DU, began disagreeing with her for her racism and complete cluelessness about how insulting to others she was, she once called reprehensor and I at 1 in the morning to intimidate us.

This is part of the reason why she was so unpopular. Because she was nuts.

[blondeatlast]

105. I sensed something odd about her early on; IIRC, it was her racism.

Then she seemed to be a little ignorant but not so bad.

[fudge stripe cookays]

115. You didn't have enough dealings with her then.

I think some folks around here may also have saved her crazy theatening PMs.

[Dr. Strange]

121. I'm sure they'll be collector's items some day.

Wow, 1 AM phone calls.
:wow:

[LisaM]

74. Radio Lady is gone? When did this happen?

I miss everything.

[JohnnyLib2]

89. Late in the primaries.

Damn it all.

[LisaM]

98. What happened? Wrong candidate?

Dared to want Hillary, I suppose?

[Shakespeare]

99. Uh, no. Stalking, racism, etc.

Really fun stuff. It's a relief she's gone.

[LisaM]

100. Got it.

A lot of good people were driven off though, many because they were (I thought) taunted for their support of Hillary. I really felt, for the first time on DU, that I had to watch my step. I had people tell me that they were "alerting the mods" on me!!!! (Luckily the mods could tell there was nothing wrong with me).

I still believe we should have a small amnesty to get some of the (non-racist, of course) Hillary people back.

[Skip Intro]

118. I know what you mean, and I'm not sure about the racist label being tossed around.

I supported Hillary and it was rough going in the Primaries forum for us. Many were taunted. I was called racist more than once - as kind of a fallback insult, I guess. Nerves were raw all around. I agree with you that there should be an amnesty period. Hell, I still miss some DUers from the Dean purge/exodus during the 04 primaries.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

120. I agree with what you say, BUT

RadioLady and BenDavid were two actual racists who posted here. It wasn't just primary mudslinging.

[fudge stripe cookays]

91. July.

Like i said, best birthday present I could have gotten (see above).

[FloridaJudy]

55. "Republican Dad"

He sure was a persistent cuss. Personally, I think the guys at Landover Baptist or The Onion had imbibed waaay too much weed that night...

"Hippies! Release my son!"

[Symarip]

59. RELEASE MY SON!

Holy shit. Totally forgot about that. Laughs galore.

[Guava Jelly]

72. Second

:D

[Danger Mouse]

80. Republican Dad = funniest DU'er EVER.

[Left Is Write]

56. What about all the people who are gone that we've forgotten about...

who will stand up for them?

:P

[crimsonblue]

63. none of them..

they all suck. yeah, I said it. there's a reason they got TS'ed. But seriously, probably one of the idiot freeper trolls. I loved those "Obama is the antichrist" posts

[mtnester]

64. Whatever happened to hedda foil?

I always wondered. Still have some PM's saved and she was and is on my buddy list. Listed as active, but with no posts (not sure how that happens)...still a puzzle unless someone can fill in a blank for me.

[Forkboy]

67. NSMA

Because I like her.

Ben David was crazier than a box of frogs. :crazy:

[yvr girl]

68. Progmom

Great lady.

[J-Lo Biafra]

69. I'll take "Trolling for Another Flame War" for $800.

[Mike 03]

70. Ben Burch? Was there a guy named that? He used to seem to know information

before it broke, and I wasn't sure why he got banned. The times I saw his posts, they were always quite civilized and informative.

But the obvious thing is that there are some precious, amazing DUers who actually died, and I would give anything to bring some of them back.


:loveya:

And there are some (very few) folks I wish had never come here, like that "black box voter" idiot. What a hideous nightmare she turned out to be.

[leeroysphitz]

83. I remember Ben Burch.

He could be a little snooty and his "scoops" weren't always on the money. (I think he started the whole "We're going to attack Iran in the next 36 hours." fad that sweeps through GD every couple of months.) I argued with him sometimes but I always read his posts with interest.

[Marrah_G]

75. Tyler, Monkeyfunk, Maddy and IRL....maddiejoan.

[FairSpanishLadies]

96. MaddieJoan. R.I.P.

She was wonderfully witty.

[Mike 03]

81. I didn't know Tyler had left. He called it like it was.

I will miss him

[Danger Mouse]

82. Oh, what was his name? Proud2BAmurkin or something like that?

That guy was HILARIOUS.
Totally batshit insane, but hilarious.

[Kat45]

92. KathyinCambridge

She's the first DUer I ever met in RL.

[blondeatlast]

104. I pled for her return to no avail; of the spectacular flameouts, I would say she was the most

intelligent.

[Zavulon]

94. I usually miss this sort of thing - I only know one person offhand who was TS'ed.

I wouldn't want him back, either. One of the biggest assholes I've ever met on the Internet. I have no idea why he was TS'ed, but I'm glad. It only took one of his posts to make me hate his guts.

[Swede]

101. Nighttrain and long grain were two funny dudes.

John Kleeb too,but I think John just left on his own.

[LynzM]

110. They were funny unless you were female.

Then they were offensive/creepy, respectively.

Kleeb, I do miss... I think he's off doing his college thing.

[WildEyedLiberal]

116. Kleeb's doing well, busy with college

I keep in touch with him from time to time. I think he just got sick of DU for various reasons.

[snooper2]

102. 2rth2pwr and Rodeodance

:rofl:

:rofl:

Fools both of them :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RedCloud]

103. Was going to self delete

I am hoping all the Ancients are still here so I can apologize for my lengthy hiatus.

[Brother Buzz]

108. John Kleeb

He wasn't TS'd, but rather, I think he started college and got real busy. To busy for us old farts, anyway. I'd like to hear from him and see how he's doing. Heck, for all I know he might have gone over to the dark side and joined the Young Republicans. I kid.

[JVS]

122. He's on Facebook and his profile pic has him wearing a Steelers shirt

[NightWatcher]

111. standby for a message from AsherHeimermann

[Tommy_Carcetti]

112. Conference call in 15 minutes?

Has that dude sufficiently taken over the world yet?

[jpak]

113. Starpass

Cuz of her "colorful" descriptions of Babs...

:rofl:

[Blue_In_AK]

114. F. Gordon.

We miss him in the Photo Group. I don't know what happened to him.

[Skip Intro]

119. Eloriel springs to mind. nt

[TK421]

124. Crazy Guggenheim...he was always nice to talk to

and very funny. I didn't know he was TS'ed...I thought he left of his own accord

[Strong Atheist]

127. What happened? I like him too... nt.

[LibDemAlways]

126. I know it's not possible, but I miss Khephra and

Andy Stephenson. RIP both.
