I can't take it anymore!!!

Every time I come here lately, I see the fish ad with the parasitic crustacean for a tongue and now it has been creeping into my dreams. I have to either cough up $20 to DU or stop coming here. Fortunately I have the 20 bucks and it's for a good cause....What an effective way to get people to donate.

Ad block won't hide it? I like the crustacean that eats your tongue and then takes the place of it. benz380 Jan 2015 #1

then yes, the disgusting thing is gone now that I bought a star. I think it was the thing that eats the fish tongue then becomes the tongue. (Cymothoa exigua) At least that's what it looked like. Or maybe it really was Mitch McConnell!

That's scary!!!

I have been googling for information about my stomach problem, and this ad is titled something like "what's in your stomach" so I guess that makes sense. I doubt I have a parasitic crustacean in my mouth, though, lol!

I kinda miss the tshirt ads, however.

Or you could donate as little as $5 or so (I think that's what I did last time).

I just gave 20 bucks to DU. That's ok, though. I haven't given anything to DU for a while and I spend a lot of time here.

I'll look into the Mozilla AdBlock though, for other web sites. Thanks!
