Am I detecting more snarkiness at DU than usual?
Or is it just my imagination?

Stay on target, people. We're all in this together, despite our petty differences. I'd go on an anti-BFEE rant, but everyone here feels the same way about those criminal bastards.

Don't lose focus. We have a job to do.

To quote my favorite philosophers: Be excellent to each other!

5. Actually, some of the snarkiness is quite amateurish.
Easily detected too.

10. "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"
Edited on Fri May-21-04 12:37 PM by JCCyC
Keanu Reeves and (I forget who) play two terminally brainless but well-meaning teenage boys who get dragged into a surreal sci-fi adventure. Worth watching. Rent it.

There's a sequel too: "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey"

Edit: movie titles are capitalized.

11. I have indeed
It's calibrated and functioning normally. I clocked several posters this week at 50 snarks over the Snark-Limit.

9. We're family. Family members argue from time to time.
But we are ALL united in getting rid of that POS in the White House come November. If I find ANYONE who secretly likes *, I will come over there and smack some sense into said person. :-)

Just look at this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=1640397&mesg_id=1640397

I think it is an excellent example of the kind of unity that we need to win in November. :P

21. Snarky:
Snarky, Slang Irritable or short-tempered; irascible.

And from the O.E.D's 2nd edition:

"Snarky

colloq.

Irritable, short-tempered, ‘narky’.

A mod accused me of being "snarky" when I very sarcastically replied to a poster who was trying (unsuccessfully) to chastise me in an adult to child tone of...um...writing?
