[Cabcere]

68. Vague yet vehement accusations of homophobia/racism/sexism/other forms of bigotry

Childish response regarding the necessity of being something in order to understand it, therefore implying that you are just as big a pervert, and possibly a hypocrite as well. Posting of various links to selected previous posts from you that may or may not have anything at all to do with the topic at hand.

[Cabcere]

131. Awkward silence, followed by apologies

for my insensitivity, and concerns expressed for your family's well-being. Lots :hug: of :grouphug: hug :grouphug: smilies :hug: to demonstrate the depth and sincerity of my feelings, possibly awkward request for truce/forgiveness, while privately still believing that you're a jerk who frequently engages in illicit activities with sheep.

[Kurovski]

138. Tenderly stated request asking if it's OK to PM you.

[Warren DeMontague]

outrage" around Abu Ghraib.

Leading to inevitable speculation as to which poor bastard is going to have to sweep up all this outrage when the shit-storm ends.

[piesRsquare]

735. Defensive statement defending my participation on DU message boards!

Extensive list and description of every activism-related activity I have participated in, right down to feeding the next door neighbor's dog my organic, cruelty-free chicken and rice so it wouldn't die from tainted pet food when I can barely pay my own bills.

Snarky questioning of YOUR level of participation in activism.

Stern lecture about generalizing and making assumptions about other people!

Tirade on how awful the world is because everyone only cares about Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and videogames, rather than people dying in Iraq and Americans with no health insurance. Diagnosis and assessment of the attention span of the nation's nearly 300 million people. Self-indulgent pat-on-the-back statement of my superiority as proven by my activism.

Conduct search on DU of Cabcere past posts and that hot photo.

Resisting the use of floaty hearts due to fathers indoctrination of masculine codes of conduct.

[Kurovski]

168. Good natured joke which succeeds at masking growing hostility,

stating that you are an asshole and should go recharge the batteries in your vibrator.

Mods let it stand.

[piedmont]

172. Blatantly asshole response re-arranging the words in your post...

to make you seem like a "deviant," a copy of which is PMed to you after the mods remove the post. PM war ensues.

[Kurovski]

179. Retaining the front of male jocularity with spelled out laughter.

Post filled with words like "dude" and a surfeit of the ROTFLMAO acronym.

Irritated response regarding failure to read post.

[Kelly Rupert]

Bizarrely hostile

demand for definition of "third-hand information," when it might very well be second, and you don't know. Awkward attempt to tie my earlier criticism of what I thought you had said with a slightly-more-valid criticism of what you actually said.

Something incredibly inflammatory, hoping you'll respond to this rather than the mess of a logical knot I've created for myself.

[yewberry]

52. Exasperated sigh

and attempt to explain original point in elementary school terminology.

Appeasing language. Hinted implication that poster protests too much.

[Kelly Rupert]

62. Cogent response.

Persuasive argument. Masterful tact.

Undone by sudden reference to elaborate conspiracy involving Nancy Pelosi, PNAC, 9/11, Hitler, BFEE, Exxon/Mobil, Queen Elizabeth, the Pope, and the Mafia, and implication that you're in on it. Suggestion that your denial of my points only proves you have something to cover up.

[yewberry]

83. Accusation of tin-foil-hattery.

(nt) placed in body of text rather than in header.

[Kelly Rupert]

85. Outraged response,

claiming that your lack of solid proof my theory is incorrect more than makes up for my total lack of evidence.

Quote misattributed to Gandhi.

[yewberry]

93. Unsurprised response.

Hastily edited link to another site.

[piedmont]

Attempt to elicit old-timers sympathy with longing remarks about Crewleader.

[northofdenali]

558. Non-sympathetic post indicating

I have been in touch with Crewleader, who became tired of your inane responses, and says will not be back until you have been tombstoned. Further reference to many old-time DU'ers who know this as well.

(edit cuz fingers are sloppy today)

it's STILL irrelevant, and that it's not my fault that you're so thin-skinned. Copious eyeroll emoticons here.

[piedmont]

159. Still more text wasted in a fresh attempt...

to defend a symbol meant to save text by SHOWING readers how ridiculous I think other posters are. Ramble off-topic out of exhaustion and finger-cramps.

Generic Bush insult that doesn't go too far.

and where is your star?

[Kurovski]

250. Bleary and confusing "good morning you moron" greeting

interrupted by wife yelling at me, threatening divorce if I don't get off computer and mow the lawn.

Shaky thought processes due to hangover further reveal that your suspicions are likely justified.

Bourbon and burritos consumed at 3:00 AM MT expelled into nearby wastebasket. Head off to FreeRepublic for inspiration and courage in my fight against the liberal DUmmies.

[muriel_volestrangler]

361. Passive-agressive reminder that real DUers spell it 'moran'

with implication that your thoughts aren't truly attuned to DU. Don't give explanation why, as bait for newbie to step in and ask, so I can later make them feel not part of the crowd, while re-affirming my weak sense of being a DU regular.

[Kelly Rupert]

379. Totally obvious picture of Cardinals fan with sign.

[Kurovski]

388. Lurching back from lunch-time drinking binge.

Bemoaning how sad it is that we Democrats can't tolerate debate.

[dave_p]

352. Unconnected random comeback

[NuttyFluffers]

190. long subject line cloyingly appeasing to all factions with a slice of self deprecation

followed by a circuitous rambling of lateral logic interspersed with a profundity of lengthy anecdotes which contain tangential or oblique allegorical relevance at best. due to sheer baffling nature the thread is doomed to oblivion because no one knows how to make heads or tails of this scattered response. vague assumptions of wisdom in madness mixed with a strange anxiety to leave the seeminly unhinged well enough alone leave the door open to politely distant but befriending replies.

[Kurovski]

260. Response based on class issues

accusing you of stupidity despite your over-educated ivory-tower-ism.

Many off-track references to "common sense", and a heartwarming story about how I worked my way through dental school, eating only boiled eggs and noodles for three years.

496. Poorly-explained assertion that this time it goes beyond class

[Kurovski]

588. Totally failed joke

mentions something nebulous about karma as a backhanded retort, but obfuscates with offers of well wishes and hug emoticons.

Resentment of your level of achieved education grows, now convinced that you are a hippie as well.

Saying to please put me back on ignore, so I don't have to deal with your posts anymore - even though I replied first. Condescension of anyone who would use the ignore list, along with threats to ignore YOU.

[myrna minx]

253. Threaten to leave DU because it's not like the way DU use to be

when everyone got along and had no quarrels.

[Marie26]

270. Sarcastic smilies waving goodbye.

Snarky comment that it's actually people like you who ruined DU; before you came, everyone got along & never got into fights. Suspicious mutterings that your presence here was part of a Rove-led campaign to divide liberals. Hints that you should perhaps go back to your friends on that "other" board. More eyeroll smilies to indicate general derision & superiority.

[piedmont]

341. Observation that you're a n00b, and wondering aloud how you could possibly...

know what you're talking about unless you've been banned before and this is your 6th reincarnation on this board.

[Marie26]

892. Outraged accusation of n00b discrimination

Strident reminder of DU rules against bigotry. Suggestion that someone so obviously biased against newbies is probably a kitten-kicking neo-Nazi as well. Smugly satisfied that have finally put "old-timer" poster in his/her place, apparantly not recognizing that am, in fact, responding to a different poster. Repeating points from previous post ad naseum in firm belief that the poster with the last word wins. Silently hopes opponent will sleep, leave, &/or die so as not to receive counterpoint.

exactly how delicious the kittens in previous post appear to be.

Request from fellow DUers for favorite kitten recipes.

Dripping sarcasm query if this is really worth our time.

[Kurovski]

[Kurovski]

431. Hostile and uncalled for suggestion

that it might be time to clean out your bong.

507. Totally humorless, angry reply

more indicative of someone with an issues-laden stick up their bung than a stoner with a dirty bong

[Kurovski]

601. A string of

876. Remarkable explanation

that both paranoid claims could quite possibly be true.

[TZ]

839. Posting my 100% correct opinion

and contradicting myself farther down the thread.

[northofdenali]

850. Agreeing with your contradiction and noting

if DU had spent this much time and energy in electing/reelecting Candidate X, the nation would not be in such trouble.

Red-faced smilie on edit noting your contradiction is wrong, and your 100% correct opinion was reasonably right, but not 100%.

[TZ]

869. Yes but my contradiction was actually 33.33% right then..

if my original opinion wasn't totally correct- goofy smilie to try to justify my fuzzy logic.
And its Candidate Y that should be elected!

Followed by lament that Dem leadership lacks the balls to put proposal on table.

[Kurovski]

874. Enthusiastic thanks

short statement of agreement on overall lack of sufficient movement by Dems, which precedes three paragraphs and two links to articles presented for the possible reconsideration on your part of the use of the male-centric term "balls".

[northofdenali]

882. Agreement with male-centric notated for reconsideration

and unashamed kick for thread that should, hopefully, see 900 posts. Insert smilie of your choice here.

[Kelly Rupert]

886. Claim that it's all a conspiracy by Big Energy n/t

[uppityperson]

894. reply with pseudoscience statistics on how much oil we would save

[Kurovski]

910. Chiding you as being beside the point.

Many overly-long headache-inducing paragraphs of grief that we are still relying on oil at this juncture in our history. Run-on sentence after run-on sentence filled with invective, more information then is necessary, and recollections of favorite poets interspersed with memories of my mother.

Insisting that if Al Gore were to become president, all environmental progress would come to a screeching halt.

[TZ]

879. Yet another expression of amazement

that this silly thread is still hanging around in GD! GD is totally series11111!!!!!!1111

[northofdenali]

881. Gratuitous mention of casting asparagus and

patties in a wade, again.

[Ghost in the Machine]

897. Semi useless graphic to accompany said gratuitous mention of casting asparagus

[orleans]

902. question as to whether or not that is in fact a stalk of asparagus

while doubting your ability to differentiate between asparagus and other fast flying objects. ulterior motive posting to you is merely to increase length of thread.

[Ghost in the Machine]

927. Smug self righteous posting of picture of asparagus

along with with slowed down animation to show said asparagus and also to show off my poor but otherwise useful skills with animation shop:



words of self-righteous indignation here, along with several obligatory emoticons. :evil grin: :hi:

[TZ]

928. snide remark....

that if you are going to "bash-a-bush" with a veggie, it really should be a broccoli!

[Ghost in the Machine]

929. incredulous reply stating that freepers never mentioned casting broccoli

at our president. Further (false) assertation that I'm too busy to make said graphic using broccoli instead of asparagus.

<waving smiley here>

965. self-delete of post informing you to take your asparagus and...

hoping mods do not notice original post before i have time to delete it

[Ghost in the Machine]

984. ambiguous threat to place you on ignore while vehemently espousing that

I have (bold, capitalized, italicized) never placed anyone on ignore before. I examine my inner desire to place you on ignore, then decide not to as everyone has a right to their opinion, even if it's wrong or doesn't match mine.

Mundane rambling about your intellect and number of human genes you really have, followed by sarcastically sweet southern style insult. Bless your heart!

edited: for reasons that, if I *had* to explain to you, you still wouldn't understand.

[orleans]

1005. not quite knowing how to respond, i decide to check your profile

to see which one of us has been here longer and who has the higher post count.

i decide i do not need to respond to your nonsensical ramblings and that vague reference to southern living, in part because i am certain that whatever i may lack in intellect as compared to you i have compensated with my higher post count.

[Ghost in the Machine]

1016. unbridled laughter over post count comment accompanied by request that you

sing "Still The One" for me (leaving out snotty reference to one hit wonders and Norman Greenbaum)

[TZ]

901. Irrelevant reference to Don Imus

because no one yet has had the guts to do it!

[Kurovski]

906. Arrogant statement

informing you that we've already finished him off.

Intrusive inquiry as to what in the hell is your REAL problem?

[TZ]

909. Angry comeback

about pot calling the kettle black!

[Kurovski]

911. Accusation of racism.

Lengthy dissertation on how word "black" is used to describe things sinister and negative, while "white" denotes purity and light.

[TZ]

912. assertion that you are being too sensitive.

and angry defensive post about not being a racist, I have plenty of (Colbert style) minority friends!

[Kurovski]

914. Caterwauling and carping

about how people like you just don't want to see, just don't get it, are clueless, are too racist to know they're racist, incapable of seeing it, have eyes but cannot see, lack vision, are blind to it, fail to see what is in front of them, overlook it, turn a blind eye, turn away from it, look the other way, look askance, and are short-sighted.

Feeling pity for you because I obviously cannot help you, despite my 20/20 vision.

[TZ]

918. Gleeful laugh!

Ha ha fooled you. I am actually a minority person trying to make a point. You fell into my somewhat less than logical trap!

[Kurovski]

930. Belligerent demand

to see documentation of that fact accompanied by a registered lettered from Jesse Jackson.

Suprisingly rude suggestion that you go have have a very enjoyable life now.

Parting salvo consisting of claim that I'm the fucking Queen of England.

[TZ]

934. small smile

as I didn't say what KIND of minority I am......(hint I wouldn't be on Jesse's list of favorites).
Say hi to young Prince William for me!

[Kurovski]

942. Infuriated sputtering

due to use of humor in matters so serious.

Reiteration of charges of racism, additional charges of mind-control.

Finally banishing you to the "land of ignore" with a rambling essay on how people like you are the reason why the Inquisition went on for so long, and why women are still underpaid and under-represented in the workforce.

[TZ]

953. thought delete

Means I will edit my own thoughts about what you just said! Sincere LOL emoticon...

[uppityperson]

954. Pedantic lecture on difference between beliefs and thoughts.

[alittlelark]

898. Optical revolutions concerning your consternation.

Vague reference to freeperism.:eyes:

[TZ]

905. Humorless, defensive, self-serving whine

about how everybody always picks on me. Includes sad, crying smilie in desperate attempt to gain sympathy.

[Kurovski]

907. Drunken attempt to devastate you further.

Outline of possible reasons why you are the sole inspiration for the right-wing's "liberal whiner" meme.

Self-loathing briefly felt for my habitual cruelty and use of the word "meme".

[TZ]

908. Outraged huff! Threats to leave DU forever!

Complaint to mod, conveniently forgotten half and hour later when shiny object distracts....

[Kurovski]

913. Overly formal apology

inspired solely by the suddenly remembered warning notice recently received from DU administrators regarding my habitual cruelty.

*Complete absence of emoticons*

[conspirator]

915. WTF is this thread? I dont understand a single post! Am I a moron? nt

[TZ]

921. kind explanation

We are kind of playing a little game on this thread. Hang around DU long enough and you will understand the fun (and why) of it. Welcome to DU, btw:)
Youre not dumb, just new!:hi:

[Kurovski]

931. Distracted welcome to DU

followed by nine exclamation points.

Backhanded compliment marveling at the constitution required to read 900 posts without understanding even one.

Granting suspicious praise for your handle.

[uppityperson]

935. kind welcome after quick search to determine if poster is troll

attempt at explanation made by stridently held opinionized DUer to acknowledge fact that DU is composed of many similar types and interactions between said types understating occasionally are of the sort posted in this thread. Attempts began at the beginning to perform same interactions without actually meaning anything. Further acknowledgement that it has become difficul,t after reading and posting in this topic, to post concise verbiage elsewhere, following up with an apology that it is not the OP's fault, mixed metaphors, was meant to let off steam and others grabbed the ball and ran with it. Finishing, almost with sincere thank you to all and wonder if this will be read.

[sutz12]

1009. Long winded explanation in condescending terms..

carefully explaining that if you do understand this thread you would qualify as a moran.

Smile smiley used to divert attention from the fact that I just insulted you, but in a good way.

[Kurovski]

916. Free-floating observation

that thread now takes as much time to read as average local newspaper.

Closing with obligatory verbal crushing of corporate media whores.

Reference to Chris Matthews, his feathery canary-colored hair, and George Bush's bluejeans, most likely preferred at half-mast by Matthews.

[northofdenali]

997. Disdainful notation that you failed, in your media tirade,

to mention Hannity, O'Reilly and other right wing shills, leading to suspicion that you are not as informed as you would like to believe.

[Kurovski]

1041. Pointed notation

that your deep familiarity with the Right-wing media is nothing to be proud if.

Suspicions of freeper-hood widely encouraged against you through a poorly composed "knock-knock" joke.

[LeftishBrit]

919. Accusation that you must be in the pay...

of the government, the CIA, the corporations, or perhaps just your pet rabbit.

[TZ]

920. Defensive denial!

I don't work for anyone but Big Yak!:hi:

922. Allegation...

that Big Yak has been heard to say Meow, and that therefore your whole theory must be wrong.

[TZ]

925. Exclamation!

How did you find that out...BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA- great comeback!

[Kurovski]

932. Kind request

(after serial rudeness) to be mindful of syntax.

Needless pointing out of difficulty in understanding you in alternate reality.

[TZ]

936. reluctant bow to grammar nazi

and hint of in joke leading to misunderstanding of odd Yak references. But only cause you are such a cruel poster and asked so rudely:http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=247x9516

[Kurovski]

938. Ignoring content of post

to point out lack of hyphen.

Uncharacteristically sincere inclusion of "smile" and "hi" emoticon.

[TZ]

947. evilgrin as once again I make an enemy...

because thats all I do here anyway is annoy other posters! Especially those other posters who take themselves waaay too seriously
(not so insincere, but unoriginal hi emoticon in return)

[Kurovski]

951. Nervous speculation

about whether or not you're breaking the first rule of fight club.

[TZ]

952. Naw just being my normal ironic and sarcastic self

who hates all others like her.

On edit: sincerely pleasant thoughts about Brad Pitt from Fight Club, distraction appreciated!:rofl:

[Kurovski]

1043. Reminder that sex threads are forbidden.

[TZ]

1047. Irritation that somebody misinterpreted friendly

flirting for something else, many many ROFL emoticons and waving emoticon to show silliness, plus toungue sticking out emoticon just to say PFFFT!!!

[Kurovski]

1048. Notice to inform

that threats and stalking will be reported to the administration.

[TZ]

1049. polite enquiry

about whom is really stalking whom here.....

[Kurovski]

1052. Measured observation

That if one needs to ask, we might already have our answer.

(:D)

Comment stating universally known fact that George Clooney is way hotter than Brad Pitt.

[TZ]

1065. Totally sincere agreement

George Clooney IS way hotter than Brad Pitt. Smart is sexy.....:)

[orleans]

963. clicked on link to be momentarily horrified by unusually large animal

with green oval eyes, seen devouring a human hand.
spell checking for devouring.
posting compliment of "cute kitty" picture despite original thought.

[TZ]

969. denying knowledge of said large animal

who despite all appearances is not chomping that hand (at that point) and who is busy speeeel chevkings my psost whdicvh sfdmotatrea...

[orleans]

980. mildly disguised indifference, a reference to randi rhodes.

link provided to randi rhodes' website just in case you are unfamiliar with her.

random links to other animals wearing various halloween costumes. use of colorful adjectives. quick transcript of a five minute randi rhodes rant. link to whiterosesociety.org for download.

hand waving emoticon

[Kurovski]

950. Further self-important harping

on how actual exclamation points, rather than references to them, look odd to me.

[orleans]

960. random mention of keith olbermann

the dick cheney/d.c. madam scandal, followed up with a reference to taco bell and a tinfoil emoticon

[Cabcere]

993. Obligatory fangirling of Keith Olbermann

with many floaty-heart emoticons, and little to do with the actual topic at hand.

[orleans]

1008. assuming you are terribly interested in anything i might have to say

regarding keith olbermann i respond with five paragraphs of my glowing opinion of him, a link to my olbermann rocks my world blog and an over-sized .jpg of him which i insist i took of him on his last speaking engagement at the local college. i end with numerous emoticons waving along with a single creepy thumbs up in reference to god only knows what.

[northofdenali]

1023. Concurrance followed by condescending but

numerous obscure references to Olbermann trivia, including name of his 8th grade girlfriend's gerbil.

[mr blur]

955. Smug and knowing nod of approval

with sinister overtone.

[TZ]

956. Meditating very hard because...

Big Yak tells me that if I focus on what I want hard enough we will reach the magical number 1000!Visualize! Focus those vibrations!

[Kelly Rupert]

962. Can't I keep him, George? n/t

[Kurovski]

1059. Curt inquiry as to what for?

To love him and pet him?

Reminder, once again *SIGH* that this is GD, GDit.

[BluePatriot]

923. Drive-by post to inflate count! (nt)

[orleans]

958. a threat to alert mods for drive-bys

n/t misplaced
scanning rules of du quickly and cannot find justification to alert mods for any reason

posting this to simply up the number of posts within thread

[Solly Mack]

924. Counters this obvious self-aggrandizing monologuing

accusations of fluff and distraction
dire warnings of impending doom brought on by shiny key mentalities


pats self on back for rapier wit and keen insight

shakes back leg in disdain

[Madspirit]

948. Just Trying To Help

...this thread hit the 1000 mark. It's getting close!
Lee

[Posteritatis]

949. Gleeful recommendation of thread for apotheosis! (nt)

[orleans]

959. sarcastic retort--well aware the time for recommending thread has long passed

bold and italics used for emphasis

[achtung_circus]

968. Snide and snarky Lounger drive-by post

reminding GD that the lounge is the only place with a sense of humour.

Diametrically opposed attitude followed by request for link to that smokin' hot photo of Cabcere.

Quick repair to the Lounge to boast that I survived.

[Cabcere]

992. Expression of bewilderment

that any "smokin' hot" pictures of me are in existence (no matter what Kurovski says). :P Secretly flattered by meta-references to my non-existent hotness. More passive-aggressive ego-stroking. Random smilies.

[Kurovski]

1045. Achtung, baby!

Many comments revealing delusions about ownership of Cabcere.

Ramblings on love for Cabcere results in accidental illusion created that we're living in feudal China circa 1842.

Mild threat that you back off from my lady.

[tjwash]

970. Long egotistical monologue on why I am leaving DU and never coming back.

Followed by a full three days of replying to every post

[TZ]

974. Snottily condescending attitude demanding to know..

If there is hunger in the world how do you explain concrete!* (or this thread)

*credit for random thought goes to appropriately named fellow DU'er Random Australian...

[tjwash]

976. equally arrogant reply that accuses you of something that you never said.

And finishing it off by demanding that you defend the statement that you never made.

[uppityperson]

975. hope that no one notices #1000 approaching and is waiting waiting waiting

because we have have so much more to do than that.

[TZ]

978. curious person wants to know.....

do we all get cookies when we hit 1000?

[uppityperson]

981. assertion that poster seeks not to control others, just know what is Best for all.

sign post with smiley huggy

[blogslut]

977. I'd hit it

:)

[tjwash]

982. Yeah, prostitution SHOULD be legalized

Oops...wrong thread. :yoiks:

[TZ]

985. sneaky suspicion

that you just posted that here for the hell of it:)

[uppityperson]

986. totally misogynistic reply with explanation that I am smiling as I type

making it all ok.

[TZ]

988. snark!

LOL emoticon just to let you know, no hard feelings (specially since you are the OP of this uuuuh "interesting" thread- I think we ARE losing our sanity...sincere lol!

[orleans]

1007. suspect you are attempting to turn this into a sex thread

simply to get it locked

i detect possible thread envy on your part. am tempted to reply to you but decide that it will be better if i don't.

[uppityperson]

983. non-posting of a PM sent to cuss at and ream out OP for what has happened in this thread.

reminder multi-tasking is a possibility

[uppityperson]

989. Cadjoling for finale

[uppityperson]

990. Finale. OP requests locking rather than continuation.

Grateful gratitude to all who contributed

[piedmont]

994. Kicking just to rebel. The OP doesn't own the thread!

:evilgrin:

[uppityperson]

996. pointed comment that #1000 has not been reached anyways.

[MazeRat7]

991. 1000....

If you count the 9 deleted threads :rofl:

MZr7

[Richard Steele]

999. Fascinating. nm

[northofdenali]

1001. Objection that you feel the need to identify

with Mr. Spock when your intellect obviously does not match his.

Apology when remembering that Spock is a fictional character, accompanied by red-faced smilie.

[Richard Steele]

1003. Every time someone kicks this thread, G*D kills a kitten. nm

[northofdenali]

1004. Requests proof and photos of said kittens -

and link.

[Richard Steele]

1015. Refusing to do your homework for you.

:evilgrin:

[Richard Steele]

1033. Non-subtle cliché implying that your lack of response is equivalent to admitting defeat.

*cricket noises*

[TZ]

1034. snide reply that it took some time to find all the needed

references and links, since you were so sure of your arguments you posted no links. Sarcastically meant smilie emoticon

[Richard Steele]

1035. Now we see the "search-function stalking" inherent in the system. Alerting.

I'm starting to think I'm getting the hang of this thread.

Anyone who disagrees even slightly is OBVIOUSLY a Hillary-lover
who voted for Dubya twice!

[TZ]

1039. amazed laughter

that it took you 1000+ posts to figure it out! Insincere dunce emoticon followed by sincere smilie emoticon and hi emoticon to show no offense intended!

[Richard Steele]

1040. Sarcastic *amazed laughter* that it took you so long to finally get a clue that I'm kinda autistic.

Sincerely,
Richard

[TZ]

1042. Totally unsurprised knowing that you had

all sorts of vaccines as a child....lots and lots of ROFL emoticons
Sue

[sutz12]

1011. I hate kittens.....

:kick:

[sutz12]

1012. Mortified apology for using grammatically correct sentence in header.

Followed by groveling paragraph in vain attempt to appease the grammar police.

Meaningless gratuitous smilies.

[uppityperson]

1021. variation of apology accepted

smiley of spanking

[northofdenali]

1024. Immediate, angry and vituperous reply

commenting on the dislike of kittens as akin to the pathology of a serial killer. Evilgrin smiley to indicate insincere sarcasm.

[Kurovski]

1050. Request to have murdered kittens put on ice.

Will pay cash money for those found suitable for use in kitten recipes.

[Rex]

1000. Zounds!

Hahaha!

[Rex]

1002. Indeed!

:rofl: :crazy:

[orleans]

1010. stating that i am bookmarking this thread

followed by twenty lines of party and toasting emoticons

[TZ]

1013. having a very very interesting time

noting that there seems to be certain posters who can't seem to "let it go" despite the OP trying to end the party. Followed by plenty of smilie and waving emoticons just to let everyone know I'm not really a party pooper.

[achtung_circus]

1019. Indignant reminder telling you to make up your mind.

Sneering reminder that if you wish to let the thread die you shouldn't kick it.

Gratuitous questioning of your patriotism and various other personal parameters.

[uppityperson]

1022. Kick from OP despite request to end, followed by long winded explanation

that makes you open message part to find short reply along the line of "darn, I just kicked it" and musing that eventually it will die on its own and glad most are having fun poking fun at selves

[TZ]

1017. casually wondering if,,,,

newbie's to DU should ALL be required to read this thread as a sanity check! Followed by lots and lots and lots of ROFL emoticons...

[orleans]

1025. wondering who can't let this thread go after reading both posts

and definitely agreeing that newbies should be required to read entire thread before posting much of anything at all.

suggesting we search out newbies and give them this link in all of their posts.

end with shrugging emoticon.

[TZ]

1027. puzzled inquiry

about missing my post about contradicting myself downthread, very hearty ROFL emoticon
(sheepish postscipt about not being able to resist a reply to my posts either---blushing emoticon at admission of thread addiction)

[orleans]

1031. mild assurance that it was all in good fun

and not even certain, at this point in the thread--along with the hour, what the hell i am actually responding with.

exhausted, i tack on a waving emoticon, a positive reference to skinner, and to DU in general. confusing myself even more i finish with a .jpg of a dancing bunny and a link to the chicago art institute.

[LeftishBrit]

1038. Accusation of perpetuating a thousand-post flamefest...

followed by even more ROFL emoticons.

[tjwash]

1018. snarky overemotional response showing an inability to laugh at ourselves

[achtung_circus]

1020. Psychotic questioning

of what you edited from your post.

[Blue_Tires]

1026. i'll post this thread in the lounge!

and we'll all laugh at how big of a flamefest GD is!

[uppityperson]

1028. Disapproving note pointing out you are not using proper syntax.

nob given to Kelly Rupert post#715 for copy/paste of current missive. Query as to wonderment if Lounge has not been aware of said thread previously?

[Blue_Tires]

1029. thanks for mentioning this

now i can play the 'grammar nazi' card

[Rex]

1030. Indeed!

Reading the whole thread is now impossible so sudden movement of post to top might occur.

DANGER! NEW DURS BEWARE! DON'T CONTINUE READING THREAD!

*DANGER*

READING THREAD IN ALL ITS WHOLENESS WILL CAUSE MASSIVE BRAIN-HURT!

STOP NOW!

EOM

[BelgianMadCow]

1032. Offended reply implying long memberness

,stating DU membership longevity is inversely proportional to contributivety coefficient.

Aside posting of replied to members' length.

[Rex]

1036. Now that was good!

Woops.

[myrna minx]

1037. Mistaking GD for the Lounge, post "IBTL"

followed by :rofl:

[callous taoboy]

1068. What would the Dalai Lama say about the hating of proper syntax?

[Scout]

1051. k & r n/t

[Marie26]

1053. Expresses amazement that this thread is still alive

Makes comparison to Cheney, Energizer bunny, kudzu.

[Matariki]

1054. THIS IS THE THREAD THAT'S BEEN BREAKING DU - ISN'T IT?!?

[orleans]

1056. snarky reply to your shouting accusation that this thread is anything

but completely wonderful.
curious as to whether you blame the plumber if your washing machine breaks down.

not bothering to post that, however, as the connection between plumbers, laundry and this thread is too vague.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

1055. Ignoring entire overblown post because I'm above such things

Details of your family's heritage explained to you in minute detail in case you don't happen to be aware of where it is you really came from.

[enigmatic]

1057. hysterical passive-agressive overeaction to the OP

threatening to quit politics and DU forever, only to return 3 days later to vent at those who don't read my 1000 word incomphrehensible thread starter posts...

[uppityperson]

1058. Generic broadbrush insult to all DUers who stupidly believe different than I.

Since I am right and you are wrong.

[Kurovski]

1060. Open adoration

for stating things how they are, how they have been, and how they always will be, world without end.

Amen.

[joshcryer]

1062. Kneejerk reaction to moderate opinion that is in near complete agreement with my own.

[uppityperson]

1063. Infamous person dies. Every thread except pop-infamous person ones drop to page 18

Musing on mortality of all.

[TZ]

1066. True joy that obnoxious thread is back on page one in GD

since GD needs an innocent laugh today. Sincere compliment to OP for starting this particular madness even if not really planned..:)

[callous taoboy]

1067. Hate hate hate hate hate and more hate. I hate. Repeat: HATE!!!111

[callous taoboy]

1069. I hate, therefore I am.

[uppityperson]

1070. Holier than thou priggish admonition
