Contrarian Solidarity Post! Who else has NEVER viewed the Kudzu thread?
I spend most of my DU time in GD, and the Kudzu thread had
over 200 posts the first time I saw it.

"200 responses? Reason enough to avoid it!", said the part of my
brain that holds my childish, irrational fear of being lost in a crowd.

Anyone else never viewed it?
And, if so, then why not?

1. I never looked at it
and when the kudzu craze started, I even hid it. I just can't see any reason why to post in that thread. Maybe I am missing out but somehow I doubt that. :shrug:

2. I have made it a point to never look at one
The lounge is funny sometimes. Dumb stuff can sometimes catch fire in here and it never seems to go away. About a year ago posting "kleeb" or some variant of it was the "in" thing. Hopefully, it will die out soon.

3. "Dumb stuff can sometimes catch fire in here "
And, you know, I was more guilty than most of perpetrating
and perpetuating the short-lived "Brazillion Joke"
craze...

I explained to my sweetie (at length) how that phenomenon was so
utterly brilliant simply because it fully recognized
its inherent "beating-a-dead-horse-ness", and took PRIDE
in it.

And then I turned right around and continued sneering
at everyone who "follows the crowd"! :rofl:

6. Which one?
Somebody took a cutting before Call Me Wesley put weedkiller on it, and it is growing again.

8. OK, tear up your tickets folks: we have a winner!
Since the pancake bunny is entirely too POPULAR
for me to be associated with, would you settle for
Margaret Thatcher on a toboggan?

12. Hahaha, the dislike of one silly thread amuses the hell out of me.
What exactly about it bothers people? It's just one simple thread that can easily be hidden. Do people just need something to complain about sometimes?

20. I don't dislike it at all. How could I?
I was just wondering if I was the only one who
has the aversion to overly popular things that I do.

From the responses here, it seems that I am not.
It looks like there are several of us here who
hate to be seen "following the crowd".

Maybe we should start a club?
I know a guy who could get us a real deal
on some non-matching uniforms!:rofl:

I guess I'm not one of the cool kids. I haven't viewed it mostly because it just doesn't seem interestink.
