"If you can remember the 60's, you didn't live in the 60's."

3. I miss Conservative Idiots of the Week
That was always good for a belly laugh.

And when the Lounge was as busy as GD.

14. Oh, Yeah. Top 10 Conservative Idiots was my fave.
Then there was a baby or something that took all Earl G's time, so he deserted us. Ah, well, I'm sure the kid is worth it:hi:

33. Oh, yes! Me, too!
I don't know how she did it, either, but I miss her and her threads a so much. She was also my first friend on DU, welcomed me to DU on my very first post, back in early 2003. She was DU's one person welcoming committee. :(

18. I miss being blissfully ignorant
of the dark, mean, nasty, backstabbing, juvenile bullshit that festers below the surface.

And I'm not talkin about GD, either.:(

It's a shame really.

29. Does anybody remember the glitch that allowed posting in the lobby?
Some genius, whose name I cannot recall, have the bright idea of hitting "post" while in the lobby, and was rewarded with a post (IIRC: "I wonder if I can post here") standing all by itself outside of any forum

I think the Admins fixed that pretty fast

35. I seem to still have a mostly functional desktop
I just cant get it to connect to the internet.

Vista was a dud from what I gather. I'm a little skeered of the change to 7, but on the other hand I'm almost ready to try fooling around with a non-windows OS.
