Does anyone recall the DUer that created the famous and hilarious meme?
"Call Congress right fucking now!!!!"

I'm sure she is still with us? It was one of the all-time great moments on DU. :-)

5. I don't think so?
I'm just asking if anyone remembers because I don't. I thought it might have been Alien Girl but I am not certain?

No idea where it came from?

9. Well at least he's having many experiences too.
Having beer and travel money will do that to you.

10. Re. "old timey DU," I thought about "Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch!"
I was online at the moment that was posted and will never forget it. It was during the awful Terri Schiavo controversy, and there was a photo posted of a large, prone Christ figure hauled into the demonstration -- on a trailer hitch.

32. That was classic. Jeb Bush's callous interference in the Schiavo's private lives won't be forgotten.

40. Nope, never forgotten. Just when we thought things couldn't get any crazier --
or callous -- there it was.

12. No, it is like the word 'repuke'...been around forever
nah, I invented that word in 2003. Still pretty new.

It was a person that was making fun of another person that was serious about calling Congress. That is all I remember.

30. Yeah, because the thread title was all caps, right?
God, I wish I could remember - it was a call to arms about some kind of bullshit the GOP was trying to pass when Nancy was House leader.

22. I remember that thread - I believe the imperative was to call Congress, and Pelosi's office specific
specifically, and I think it was about either Bankruptcy Deform or some other GOP boondoggle. I do not recall who it was, but I fell for it, and I was really pissed later when I found out. I believe I posted to that thread, as well.

35. I also believe it was Tyler Durden.
I remember the thread, there was a funny (at the time) response of, GET THESE MUTHAFUCKIN SNAKES OFF MY MUTHAFUCKIN PLANE!

I do not remember what it was about but I do remember Project Mayhem :)
