Did you guys know that we're gonna be leaving pretty soon?

[boston bean]

you folks are just carrying on like normal around here.

Pick up your socks, put them in the hamper and take a pee.

We're leaving in a bit.

[valerief]

1. I don't pee in my socks or my hamper! nt

[boston bean]

3. Well, thank goodness, cause that might cause us to be late for a very important date.

[Tx4obama]

2. It's been three hours so far, I hope it's soon before I have to go to bed ;( n/t

[boston bean]

4. same here....

[Tx4obama]

5. So ya can't pee on the socks if they aren't in the hamper?

I don't have a hamper ;(

[boston bean]

6. some folks are so literal.

I typed like i speak.

Glad my son never took me so literally, or there would have been a bunch of messes to clean up.

[Tx4obama]

11. It was a joke ;)

I'm sleepy, normally I wouldn't have typed what I did.

[boston bean]

12. yes, i knew you were jokin. I was too.... I didn't take it in a bad way.

hope you'll be able to get some sleep soon.

7. I could be wrong, but I get the impression that posters in GD-P aren't as, errr

INVESTED in DU as so many in GD appear to be.

Which is why people here are carrying on discussing issues and news and not wailing about DU like they are in other forums.

[boston bean]

8. really, you think that's it?

ok.

[Number23]

9. Yep. I really do.

[boston bean]

10. well, i'm pretty happy about DU3, and it's bittersweet to leave this home.

people are just having some fun. That is all. I dont' think it's what you make it out to be.

[Number23]

14. People have been screaming about being "silenced" and "censored" for days

There have been tantrums. People have threatened to leave. People HAVE left. People have questioned the motives of the admins and accused them of trying to turn DU into a board for the Democratic Party (as if that is simply the worst thing in the world) or of trying to crush "dissenting liberals."

If all that is "just having some fun" to you then yeah, I can understand why we see things differently. I've said thank goodness for GD-P more times than I can count over the last three years, but after this past week I am more appreciative of the intelligence and maturity of posters here than ever before.

[boston bean]

15. tonight, people are having some fun.

wouldn't you agree.

[Number23]

17. It does seem a bit more fun than the last few days

Probably because some folks that were freaking out have actually checked out DU3 and realized it wasn't the end of all life and existence as they were told/dreading.

Probably also because some folks that were freaking out actually did leave as they threatened. Whatever the reason, it is a bit better today.

20. Hey Sid

Your socks smell like pee.

[Number23]

21. Confused AND stupid. What a winning combination...

[SidDithers]

22. LOL...

:thumbsup:

Sid

[Divine Discontent]

27. +1! smells of urine emanating from that one...

[ellisonz]

23. "People have been screaming about being "silenced" and "censored" for days"

More like years ;)

[Tx4obama]

13. Hmmm... I think lots of folks that post in GDP also post in GD

It's just that posts in GDP are 'sometimes' not as 'light hearted' as they are in GD.
I've seen lots of GDP folks tonight posting in GD regarding the move.

I don't think there is much difference in the 'people' - we are all DUer and the majority are Democrats :)

[Number23]

16. Lots of folks post in GDP that also post in GD, but there are many who post in one

that don't post in the other.

Point is moot anyway. 97% of the carrying on about DU3 in GD has not made its way to GD-P. There's probably a reason for that.

[Tx4obama]

18. One reason is some folks were watching the two hour GOP debate and then

the one hour analysis on Current TV.
And also it's Saturday night - lots of folks are out on the town ;)

[ellisonz]

19. God that debate was awful...

:puke:

I think most of the regular GDP posters are more focused on the challenges facing our nation than on the particulars of the coming DU3 launch. We're generally a more reasonable sort and we're used to being regularly "censored" because of the primary wars. We know not everyone is going to agree on an issue and thus have no need to make such appeals :-)

[jberryhill]

24. Why would anyone pee on their socks?

[ellisonz]

25. Same reason Moises Alou pee's on his hands.

Look it up.

[NYC_SKP]

26. OK, I took off my socks, put them in the hamper, peed all over the socks in the hamper...

...now what's next?

:hi:

[No Elephants]

28. Target practice?

Unless, of course, you were aiming at the hamper, in which case, ewwww.
