[arwalden]

25. We Get It... Zero Tolerance. But The Permanent Daily Reminder...

... does have a bit of a chilling effect on anything else that someone might consider fun. It's hard to tell whether the admins forgotten to take down the announcement, or if they are still mad.

[Misunderestimator]

62. Oooh. That's a tough one. You could try calling a bee-catcher,

[Left Is Write]

4. Everyone must be taking themselves too seriously.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

40. That does seem familiar

[WI_DEM]

16. I don't know the lounge seems about the same

on the front page are such topics as:
I'm Obsessed with B.O.
Ask the Fake Administrator
Are Employee of the Month Plaques demoralizing
Note your taste in crappy TV
Man offers steak to undercover officer in exchange for sex

I will admit that there seems to be a lack of flirting threads this morning and copy kats.

[Solly Mack]

[jpgray]

30. Hedges' original DU name was PhalangeFetishist

And now you all know the truth.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. I thought it was FritoLayMe

:shrug:

[Zuni]

33. He told me it was RockyMountainOyster

but then again, Hedges is full of crap. :P

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

39. Sure it wasn't AspenElf?

Or was that Koolzip?

[Zuni]

44. no RKZ was "AngelDuster343"

:P

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

52. That was the name of his car silly. He was ColonBlower173

Or maybe that was his grafitti tag.

Now I'm all confused

[progmom]

[Zuni]

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Too many people in the remedial snarky classes!

[terrya]

34. I have to agree with some others here...the fun's over.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

38. Let's talk about sex, baby. Let's talk about you and me.

[terrya]

42. Oooooh...well, THAT grabbed my attention....

:-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

53. I thought it might, dear sir!

[flvegan]

35. There's no current mania.

Let's see...

Schaivo-mania...over.
Pope-mania...over.
Vanishing bride mania...over.

And NOBODY really gives a shit about Jacko anymore.

What we need is a good scandal!! Our media is failing us, and sooner or later, they'll start reporting on unimportant stuff like that silly war in Iraqistan or some social security nonsense.

I offer the following completely unfounded, baseless rumors:
1. Corey Feldman and Cory Haim are lovers, and making gay xxx movies;
2. Demi Moore is really a man, and Kutcher is about to get punk'd with that bomb;
3. KFC's Xtra Crispy formula is Soylent Green;
4. The Olsen twins are both pregnant with twins, and oddly enough, the fathers are twins. They're all moving to Minnesota to cheer on the Twins. Pamela Anderson's "twins" were unavailable for comment.

[mtnester]

43. I would pay money to watch a live version of..

"Demi Moore is really a man, and Kutcher is about to get punk'd with that bomb"

[Az]

49. Change is life, lack of change is death

If you wish things to remain the same you are afraid of life. Each moment of life brings something new. To embrace life is to embrace the unknown.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

51. I prefer they change in a good way - and if we cann affect said change

let's do that shit, yo!

[Az]

57. But even that

Chaos is a tricky thing. We cannot know that our positive efforts will have a positive outcome. The best we can do is find out as much as we can. So keep moving forward. Keep striving to improve. And always be ready for whatever chance brings.

[belladonna]

61. Hey, I gave it a shot last night

Jello wrasslin' matches, men in thongs, etc. For some reason, it never really took off :shrug:

[Az]

64. Promises promises

The proof is in the pudding. :evilgrin:

[belladonna]

67. It will be tonight!

Will you all do a nice memorial thread if I end up getting in trouble and banished forever? :P

[jonnyblitz]

63. it seems the same to me. nt

[redqueen]

65. What's that smiley smoking?

I just now noticed your Chavez Regal sign has a smiley in it. I'm slooooow.

[flvegan]

66. Actually, I blame it on the death of the ATA Forum

It was the day the laughter died.

[miss_kitty]

71. Can't

the rules have changed too much for a jump start. Too many interesting posters moving on...or moved out. Becoming Stepford homogenised-spurred on in part by whining babies who are unable to tell the difference between real life and an Internets chat room message board that has no real influence upon their lives, other than the power they themselves grant it. JMHO, though.

I am afraid, if you are looking for 'fun' and 'creativity,' you'll find them sporting granite hats.

[Red State Rebel]

74. The Lounge has become very Clique-ish

I've given up trying to post here for the most part. There are certain groups of buddies and they all interact and have their fun and for the most part ignore everyone else. It's not a whine, just fact. Look at this post, for example, the same people carrying on conversations. It happens a lot in here and after posting things and watching them sink and be ignored, you realize it's not worth the time.

I have Lounge friends that I chat with on AOL who feel the same way. Maybe when the Lounge becomes more inclusive it will become more fun.

Please don't discount me as a whiner, take a look around and see if most of the posts aren't made by the same people and replied to by the same groups of friends.

[miss_kitty]

75. That's not the kind of whining I was talking about

The Lounge has always been cliquey-I think you'll find where ever a lot people gather, cliques will form. Don't let it stop you from joining in, though.

I'm talking about the oversensitivity to a word or a thought, some people not being unable to ignore shit that gets thrown down on a message board in cyberspace. Not. That. Important.

I have suffered from this too. It takes getting used to. But really. Remember all that shit that people would spam ATA with? It reminded me of my childhood-"Mommy! Billy hit me!" "Bonnie is on my side! She's touching me! Oooooooh!" That's what I'm talking about when I say whining. I don't think you are whining with your observation.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

76. Remember the bitch wars?

Damn, those were the days... :hide:
:rofl:

[Lilith Velkor]

79. I was waiting for the meds to kick in

Now your finally back so I can stalk you because I like your username so much. :hi:
