The Lounge is the Id of DU
Every so often someone has the temerity to question the level of frivolity in the lounge. Usually it is someone who simply doesn't know. Let me explain...

There is plenty of substance on DU. In fact every other forum is loaded with it. The Lounge is different. Here the goofballs have taken control, and that is a good thing.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that all of this silliness is without merit. It keeps some of us sane, allows us to take ourselves less seriously, thus maintaining perspective. You don't have to venture far to see what happens when perspective flies out the window. Check out the General Discussion forum. It's a daily occurrence.

When the need arises, when another DU-er needs support, they go to the Lounge, and the goofballs respond. So it isn't that we've forgotten what's important. In fact, we've got a damn good grasp on it.

Goofiness is more than just surface fun. It's a fucking holy quest.

So, for those of you that don't particularly care for this sort of thing, by all means, use the tools that Skinner has graciously provided to ignore us. 'Cause believe me, it's always been this way, and I don't see it changing.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go off and make myself annoying. Tally-ho!

In a crazy world you need a good sens of humor to keep your sanity.

13. Yep
when I just can't take it anymore, or I need to laugh or feel absurd, I come here.

There's nothing that beats it. Nothing.

14. I need the DU lounge
so I can laugh a bit at the adult level. I'm an instructional specialist at an elementary school with admin duties as well so I need the place for some release.

Oh and I love the goofiness...

28. Fucking PLEASE!
The Lounge WAS the id of DU. It's long ago been thrown out the window with the water fountain and everything else fun and irresponsible and non-depressing about this place, all by the gigantic mute Indian of puritanical panty-bunching and PC-mouth-frothing that passes for sound judgement in this rotting corpse of former free-spirited thought-sharing.

Fuck the DU Lounge. Long live the DU Lounge.

34. Ah, my dear wanting-to-jump friend
The thing about you that I like is this thing in that I never know whether you're hitting the nail on the head or just hittin' the head or just pissin' into the wind and whistlin' shiksa. I like you, ya know? Come over here and gimme some head, you big lug, you! Or just $3.50. Whichever. Right?

:P

36. better watch out, mister
she's been feeling spanky lately. But I'll bet you money she'd come and watch if you and me went out to the garage and whipped 'em up on the lifts and put some monkey in the wrench, lubing the works... if you know what I mean. Got 500 cubic inches of classic throbbing nipponese fury waiting to be unleashed once I get some compression back in my stroke...

37. you people just fucking suck rancid anus, you know that?
a little harmless hotmanonmansexhumor and you abandon an entire thread, relegating it to the trash heap of the already neutered and wretched Lounge? At long last, people - have you no indecency? What have they done to you? Have you no spark of life left in your withered and dessicated little neglected pleasure parts? For the love of all that is foul and smegmatic - for the love of all that is german clown porn - please strike back against the chastity! Lash out! Lash out and TESTIFY in your most glorious non-Skinner-sanctioned keystroking nastiness! Let me FEEL the rules-breaking erotic mambo-jambo of Lounge degradations past!

Make me cover my entire bodice, with Avon Cologne!

41. That's interesting
as I've recently been told by a fellow Lounge Lizard that I'm *pure ID*...

Being the ID of the Lounge which is apparently the ID of DU...

Shouldn't I just like...self destruct now or something??
