God damn it, someone say something positive about something!

[jobycom]

Most overrated songs, most overrated movies, every damn thread is a way to attack someone or something someone else likes. It's like dealing with all those geeks in high school who felt cool by trashing something just because someone else liked it.

Say something positive. Name a popular artist you like. Piss off the nay-sayers! No criticisms! Surely Democrats aren't ALL whiners, are we? Prove you're a Democrat by biting your tongue instead of criticising someone else's choice! Name something you like that will horrify people! We are the big tent! We love everybody! We respect everyone's right to their opinions, and damnit, at one point the Dem Party stood for good manners, if nothing else. I'm in the mood to not feel bad about things.

Tom Cruise is a fine actor! Rachel Ray's accent is sexy! Titanic was brilliant! Horrify us!

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. I affirm your right to your bad taste in movies!

:P

[jobycom]

7. And I yours!

:evilgrin:

[Maestro]

2. Gov. Goodhair is a stupid mofo

and his *'s beeotch! (inside joke for Texans) How's that? :shrug:

[jobycom]

10. That's what I'm talking about!

:rofl: Not that anyone's going to disagree!

[GOPisEvil]

3. We've got some damned fine Democrats running for office this year.

All in all, I'm prouder of this bunch than I've been of our candidates in a while, even though we had bigger names in the recent past.

Naturally, I'm not happy about ALL of them, but since we're being positive, I'll save that for another thread.

[jobycom]

16. Yes we do!

And even when we don't, they are better than the Repubs!

[AngryAmish]

4. Everybody likes the Nature Boy!

<>

Whooooo!!!!

[jobycom]

12. And his broken link!

:woohoo:

[AngryAmish]

27. does this one work?

on edit, it does not.

[jobycom]

42. If I right click and click "view images" I get something!

Who I get, I don't know! :rofl:

[Broken_Hero]

81. WOOOOO!!!

he fights Foley at Summer Slam! and hopefully Jerry the King Lawler slaps the crap outta Orton this coming monday...:)

[Fox Mulder]

91. I hope Orton beats Hogan at SS.

Seriously.

I'm sick of Hogan. He should've stayed retired.

[Fox Mulder]

90. I can't stand Ric Flair!

Gah! When is he going to retire? Hogan needs to retire too!

Besides, the REAL Nature Boy was Buddy Rogers...NOT Ric Flair.

[JohnKleeb]

5. I like pie

[jobycom]

15. Pie is round. And are squared.

:rofl:

[MsKandice01]

84. HA! Gotta love math humor...

I know I do. :)

[lizziegrace]

6. I just don't get Monty Python, but that's okay. Others do and love it!

:shrug:

And yes, we as a group have been lacking in manners around here. As the party that prides itself on inclusion and valuing others and their opinions, it's been wickedly snarky lately. Just love the backhanded comments.


:(

[jobycom]

20. Monty Python and manners mentioned in the same post!

It's bold! I love it! :woohoo:

[lizziegrace]

21. Life's about taking chances

Right Jobycom?? ;)

[jobycom]

24. Hm.

Maybe I should try it that way for a change... :rofl:

[lizziegrace]

28. I usually don't

but what the hell. If I'm going down, it'll be in flames! :rofl:

[jobycom]

37. That's the spirit!

Though if I start my pilot lessons back up, I'll use a different motto to justify them...

[lizziegrace]

38. Smart man...

:)

[jobycom]

43. Aww, gee....

:blush: (but I'm not half as smart as I like to pretend I am! Shhh, don't tell!)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

8. I freakin' love Sailor Moon!

If that doesn't earn me incredulous looks, I don't know what will...

[jobycom]

14. There are people who don't?

No way!

[LadyoftheRabbits]

29. Oh, I KNOW!

:P Thanks for your positivity! :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. I am OVERFLOWING with JOEMENTUM!

[jobycom]

13. Ummm

Well, my name is Joe, so that works for me!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. I like my pets.

[jobycom]

17. I like your pets!

And I've never even had any! (work on it...) :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

41. Here's one of them (Midnight) looking all pretty...

[jobycom]

46. That's a cool pic!

Seriously, it's got a sort of juxtapositioned tension of jungle and domestic. Pretty cat, too. Had one named Sabbath that looked similar.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

51. It's her favorite spot to sleep outside.

When she's laying down, you can't see her at all, only hear her breathing. She has a chronic sinus condition, so she's constantly snorting, sneezing, and snoring.

[jobycom]

57. Sabbath did that

She wheezed when she breathed.

[Ptah]

I had a wonderful stroll this past weekend.

:shrug:

[ThomCat]

18. Work has not been excruciating for the past few days.

This might end up being a very productive week. :)

[BreweryYardRat]

19. I'm fond of Madonna's "Like A Prayer" song.

Along with ABBA's "One Night In Bangkok."

[LadyoftheRabbits]

22. I love "Like a Prayer"

:)

[jobycom]

23. How can anyone not like a song with the word

Bangkok in it? I love it, too. And it's even on my MP3 collection! Though ABBA only sings backup, it's actually Murray Head.

[BreweryYardRat]

26. *shrug*

I prefer the backup bits, to be honest.

[jobycom]

30. I love, love, love the cheesy lyrics!

One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
(It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity)
(To be looking at the board, not looking at the city)
What d'ya mean
You seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
(Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet)
(Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite)
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

[BreweryYardRat]

53. I'll admit...

The "I'd invite you, but the queens we use would not excite you," line is truly excellent.

[txwhitedove]

25. Jobycom, you are a great man. Thanks for some positivity.

I love DU, Dixie Chicks, Olive Garden, all the brazillion cat pictures
even though I don't have a cat, Haruka's lizards, CalPeggy and Mutley always,
Floogeldy is a hoot, and Texas is the best!

How's that for a start?
:hi:

[jobycom]

32. Coming from one of the few DUers who should recognize this!

ANd what it was before (I'm guessing you would!), that warms my heart! ANd I love your whole list!

[txwhitedove]

52. Aww, it was beautiful driving by there everyday to work..... Look how

someone lovingly tried to recreate the sign.

Here's a picture of the first beach bar in Bay St. Louis after Katrina...
got to keep laughing! :)

[jobycom]

58. And this place

[txwhitedove]

67. The old Fire Dog, where you could find Mayor Eddie every evening...

I have one taken 'the morning after' when I walked from my house on Dunbar,
down Main to Beach Road, then back around down Demontluzon (sp) and back, but
all the pictures just cannot show the magnitude of damage.

Burger King with boat in the drive-thru on Hwy 90 in The Bay....

[jobycom]

71. IIRC, I once walked into that BK in leotards and a medieval tunic

I went Coast Episcopal for a couple of years in high school, and was in a production of Mid Summer Night's Dream. We put on a showing at a retirement home, and stopped at, I think, that BK on the way back, in costume. Got as many odd looks as that boat going through the drive through would have gotten.

Here's where I survived Camille, though the house and Gulf station there then were torn down a year later to make way for another station. As you can see, that local fared better under Camille than Katrina. (90 and Nicholson).


ANd here was the house I survived Betsy in, though I was a couple months old. My father had the house built. It flooded in Betsy and Camille. This is what Katrina did. It's on 603.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. OK, my dear jobycom! Here's something positive from me.......

I love Billy Joel's music!

Flame away........or not!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[lizziegrace]

34. I've always loved Fogelberg's music

flame away....or not!

:woohoo:

[jobycom]

40. Anyone who can write a song for a horse has my vote!

:yourock:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. My dear lizziegrace!

Who is Fogelberg? I never heard of him.........

:hide:

[jobycom]

62. Run for the Roses, Another Old LAngZyne, Leader of the Band

Sweet singer/songwriter, lots of sentimentality.

[lizziegrace]

64. Battling cancer

at just over 50 years old...

His old music is the best. Souvenirs, Captured Angel and The Innocent Age are my favorite albums.

:)

[jobycom]

66. I just learned that.

Wishing him well.

[Katina]

94. Netherlands is one of my old time favorites

and I LOVE the song Dancing Shoes. Thanks for the reminder...and sorry to hear that he is sick.

[jobycom]

35. No flames!

Joel's the man. He dogs it now and then, but I'd have trouble trusting a person who doesn't like Piano Man!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. Oh, my dear jobycom, I hear you!

Piano Man is the best! It gives me chills all over! :woohoo: :woohoo:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

36. I like it too!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. My dear lelapin!

Your mom told me what you did for me tonight.....

You are a sweetheart!

And loving Billy Joel is just the icing on the cake, sweetie!

[LadyoftheRabbits]

50. Awww!

Looks like that earned me a giant pulsating heart! :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. My dear lelapin!

I just sent you a PM.....check your inbox, OK? :hug:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

56. You have good taste CaliforniaPeggy

I love Billy Joel's music as well

[CaliforniaPeggy]

61. My dear socialdemocrat1981!

I think his music is marvelous......

Especially his ballads!

Some of his songs helped keep me sane during various stressful periods in my life....

:hug:

[Floogeldy]

33. Thank You.

Hollywood is fucking great. Great messages of freedom, acceptance, liberalism and the human condition are overwhelmingly displayed in the vast majority of movies I watch. That includes movies with actors that get bashed here on DU all of the time.

Sincerely,

Floog

[jobycom]

39. .

:toast:

[Floogeldy]

44. `

:hi:

[jobycom]

48. Okay, now's my chance

What's with the AC? Been wondering...

[Redstone]

54. DangerouslyAmused has great shoulders. Maybe the best ones.

Positive enough for you?

Redstone

[jobycom]

59. Be better with a pic--not sure I've seen them.

Haruka3_2000 and u4ic have great shoulders, too!

Yes, that's positive!

[Redstone]

65. She's posted a picture a few times. Damn, have I found another

appreciator of the underappreciated curves of a woman's shoulders?

Redstone

[jobycom]

69. Though I find it unseemly to dwell on issues of

physical attributes on a web site better suited to praising the minds, spirits, and souls of all people... I do have a thing for shoulders! Shhh... let's keep this from getting too base, though.... :)

[Dangerously Amused]

80. Redstone is a font of wisdom and integrity.

And he cares - I mean really cares - about the people here.

[MiniMandaRuth]

60. I have blue hair

that looks pretty frickin' cool.

[jobycom]

63. I heard!! I never saw a pic, though!

:yourock: :headbang:

[NewWaveChick1981]

68. Billyskank has been very sweet to me.

:hug: :hi:

[jobycom]

72. Yeah, I hear things about him that impress me as a human

and make me want to eliminate him as a competitive male! :rofl: Seems like a great guy!

[NewWaveChick1981]

86. ROFL!

So you see him as a threat, eh? :rofl: He IS a great guy!

Don't be so paranoid, jobycom! :* We love you too! :hi:

[jobycom]

87. You know, I'm a typical male

My competitive spirit wants to be the only thing anyone ever worships or thinks fondly of. It's something I fight... but don't always defeat. :rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

96. Hey! billyskank has been very sweet to me, too!

:think:



Let's gang up on him and be sweet back!



:bounce:

[hopeisaplace]

70. I think I'm qualified to be President too.

:dunce:

[jobycom]

73. Probably so! Maybe even before the bar was lowered so dramatically

six years ago.

[hopeisaplace]

74. Yep, when Clinton was Prez...I definitely wasn't qualified.

But good news is, anyone can be President now, whoopee!!!:bounce: :toast:

[grannylib]

75. I love my beautiful state of Minnesota! Lakes! Loons! Ladyslippers!

Trees! Forests! The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness! The best State Fair EVER! The Renaissance Festival! The fishing! The bird-watching! The prairie plants! Lake Superior! The agate-hunting! The morel-hunting! The bike paths! The wild flowers! The state parks! The Native Peoples! The Norwegians! The Swedes! The Germans! The Czechs! The Finns! The Irish! The Mexicans! The Somalis! The Ethiopians! The Kenyans! The Lebanese! The Vietnamese! The Laotians! The food! The fun! The four seasons! The arts! The theatre! The educational opportunities!
The only state NOT to vote for RayGuns!

I Love Minnesota!

[jobycom]

76. All good things, but you won me especially on that last point! nt

[grannylib]

78. I have always been insanely proud of that, and worked hard ever since

to ensure that Minnesota remains BLUE!
We ARE the land of Sky Blue Waters, after all, so it stands to reason...

[gkdmaths]

77. CATHODES!

batteries like them because they're always positive and never complain about all the negativity from the anode.

:7

what do I win?

[Robeson]

79. My new ink is awesome...

...I'm very happy with it! :-)

[Jamastiene]

82. "Name something you like that will horrify people!" OK, you asked for it.

I love women. All different types of women appeal to me, but none more than the women of DU. I'm sure most women on DU are now horrified, but just remember, I'm the harmless type who merely wants to follow you around and fetch things for you. I'll spend the rest of the time on my knees begging you not to wretch too much because something like me likes you, that is, if you'll let me beg you and fetch things for you.

[Dangerously Amused]

97. Hey Jamarama!

I was poking around on the internets the other day and I came across this image and thought of you, so I saved it. Here ya go:






:hi:

[Jamastiene]

102. Awwwwww, that's so sweet.

I will save it so I can remember you always. :hi:

[ForrestGump]

98. I am positive

that I could've written what Ms Jamastiene just wrote!!! :D

[Jamastiene]

101. I appreciate the agreement.

It's a rare treat to see DU'ers agreeing any more. I'm :scared: I need a :hug:. :loveya:

[ForrestGump]

103. No problema

:hug:


:D

[NMMNG]

83. Melissa Etheridge's concert Sunday night effing rocked!

:headbang:

[Broken_Hero]

85. something positive...hmm....

My wife has tomorrow off, and we are going to goof off all day!...:)

[wildhorses]

88. I have dated the same guy for 4 Saturday nights in a row.

I think he likes me. Am I positive?:shrug:

[billyskank]

110. I dunno, but he's fortunate

:hug:

[terrya]

89. That "summarize the plot of a book in one sentence" thread is fun.

I've enjoyed reading it.

[Fox Mulder]

92. I'm really interested in the paranormal.

I know a lot of people here think it's all nonsense, but I don't.

[Bassic]

93. Bass guitar kicks ass!

That's positive right? :D

[sarge43]

95. Well, I'm watching The Ghost and Mrs Muir

Bernard Herrmann's beautiful score - aahhh.

[femmocrat]

99. I have a great garden this year!

:applause:

[TrogL]

100. The charge on the + side of a battery is positive

[Beer Snob-50]

104. The Rolling Stones

last two studio albums really rock!! (Listening on my ipod as we speak)

[ZombieNixon]

105. My genius has not worn off this morning.

I am still a fucking genius! And I love how a bunch of DUers unquestionly took my word on that in good faith last night! :D :bounce:

[YankeyMCC]

106. I'm a little disturbed that I can't think of

something that I like that would horrify or even be contrary to what most people here would consider within the range of normal.

:(

On edit: How's this. I like my steaks rare, char on the outside but there'd better be cool red meat in the center. mmmmm (just steaks and roasts not ground meat)

[LanternWaste]

107. You are more than merely adequate...

"You are than merely adequate."


That, and Jennifer Connelly has never hung up on me (although I've never called her)

[jpgray]

108. Non-hipster arrogance is as intensely stupid as hipster arrogance

:D

Yeah, you can like Budweiser and be arrogant about not caving in to hipster pressures, but don't expect me to think myself an arrogant asshole because I drink Duvel or something and think Bud sucks ass.

[NoPasaran]

109. Beer is yummy!

Nothing better on a hot summer day.
:beer:
Except maybe another beer!
:beer::beer:
