Why is it that the only time I get many replies to a post on DU

[rzemanfl]

is when I post a rant about the ignorant, dumbshit, coward, liar, jackass, moron in the White House or some nostalgic thing about the 1950's? So, before I go to bed, here's a post:

HEY BUSH! You remind me of Flubadub (only dumber), you ignorant, dumbshit, coward, liar, jackass, moron!

Pinhead from the Foodini show would have made a better President than you, you ignorant, dumbshit, coward, liar, jackass, moron!

Good night all.

1. Well put. I could expand on this but...

would probably get caught in a flamestorm.

[skids]

2. Because...

If you posta complete coherent thoughtful argument, noone generally has anything to dispute or add. :-)

The exception of course, is when you post something that's motivational or a cry for help.

3. I Can't Resist

[TheCowsCameHome]

[orpupilofnature57]

5. Don't sugar coat it

[begin_within]

6. Always post in the form of a question - you will get far more replies.

[orpupilofnature57]

9. Thats the ticket, open the floodgates !!!

[rzemanfl]

12. You mean like "What the fuck happened after the milenium that

resulted in the shit we're now in?"

[Connie_Corleone]

7. You can get a lot of replies if you just post...

"Did you see what Bush just did!" in the subject line and not write anything else.

[seabeyond]

8. bah hahahahaha see how easy that is

i never have replied to you in the past. or you can talk about smoking. that will be a thread that takes off. or banning all fast food. or registering all pets. lol lol

[rzemanfl]

11. Judging from the replies thus far, all the people my age have

already gone to bed...

Does anyone remember Foodini and Pinhead?

[Connie_Corleone]

14. The only Pinhead I know is from Hellraiser. nt

Good night and good luck.

[rzemanfl]

19. How was it to be married to James Cann in the movie? n/t

[Connie_Corleone]

22. He was my brother.

My husband was killed by my brother Michael, although he denies it.

[rzemanfl]

26. You're right, sorry to have accused you of incest due to a poor

memory for movie casts, although if it is a movie is it really incest?

[Connie_Corleone]

28. James Caan was kind of hot back then. Robert Deniro too.

[rzemanfl]

34. Loved Caan in that movie where he played a professor with

a gambling jones and a hankering for hookers.

[mitchtv]

16. no , but Flubadub ?

one of the supporting roles in Howdy Doody, party seal, part helicopter?

[rzemanfl]

20. Yep? Not like Bush who is 100% Connecticutt asshole. n/t

[John Q. Citizen]

17. No, but I remember Zippy the Pinhead, and his uptight brother

Lippy!

Does that count?

[annabanana]

21. I remember flubadub...but not his context...

I don't think it was Howdy Doody...... or was it?
(maybe Foodini and Pinhead were local?)

on edit: flubadub!

[orpupilofnature57]

25. Did Pinhead wear a bow tie and have stubble?

[annabanana]

27. Foodini and Pinhead!

Did they have their own show, or were they part of another show?

[rzemanfl]

33. They were a spin off before the term was invented. n/t

[seabeyond]

31. no but then what would your age be, assuming they are all in bed.

under ten, lol lol or over 70. bah hahahahah. 44 here and i can stay up well past 12

[rzemanfl]

35. 58 and I can stay up late because tomorrow is a holiday for me.

I stay up past 12 on New Year's Eve only.

[seabeyond]

37. lol you are cute. n/t

[AntiCoup2K4]

10. If you want a thread with a lot of replies....

...you could always become an amateur lobbyist for the tobacco industry, like a few of our fellow DU'ers have done lately :evilgrin:

[Auntie Bush]

13. Good Night and sweet dreams

[Bouncy Ball]

15. There's this guy in my area named Lenny.

He wears bunny ears, red running shorts and a black t-shirt every single day. I think he's what we call nowdays "mentally challenged." You can see him running to the Radio Shack several blocks from his house and he always chats up the manager.

Then he gets a smoothie and sits in front of the Shell station across the street from the Radio Shack and has a lot of conversations with bugs.

I think he would have made a better president than bush.

And I'm not kidding.

[rzemanfl]

36. I'll vote for him. Are the bugs the live kind or does he get them

from Radio Shack's survelliance section?

[Bouncy Ball]

47. The live kind. He also talks to grackles (birds).

He seems to have fantastic conversations with them, just laughs up a storm.

[Wapsie B]

18. Well you could advocate increased consumption of veal

or express a profound hatred of cats.

:hide:

[rzemanfl]

24. I love Veal Parmesan and kick cats, I was dissappointed when

Wisconsin didn't pass the feral cat shooting law. Most hunters there shot 'em anyway when I was younger and lived there.

Trouble with some veal is that the farmers let 'em move a tad, they should nail their hooves to the barn floor.

How's that for a first draft?

[havocmom]

30. LOL that's good

for a start ;)

Now, maybe add something about ill mannered children and the parents who refuse to make them behave in public. :evilgrin:

[rzemanfl]

32. Put the little shits in harnesses and pull their arms out of the

socket if they act up!

[Wapsie B]

43. Oh dear god.

You better have your flame retardant suit at the ready.

:rofl:

[rzemanfl]

46. No suit -going to use the neighborhood cats as feline shields. nt

[longship]

23. It's scary, but I remember flubadub

www.tvacres.com/creatures_flubdub.htm

I actually remember Howdy Doody on TV. I was a little tike in the early fifties, but I remember it. Living in Detroit on the Canadian border we had not one, but two Howdy Doodie programs, one on the Detroit channel, and one on the Windsor channel.

I do not remember Foodini show. Was that a national program?

BTW, rzemanfl, keep posting those 50's posts. And keep those rants coming. YeeeeHawwwww!

[rzemanfl]

29. It was on CBS:

Pinhead is on the right.

[ToolTex]

38. Why did Phineas T Bluster always introduce the "Old Time Movies?"

Why didn't Buffalo Bob do it, or Princes SummerFallWinterSpring?

[rzemanfl]

39. Didn't he own the theatre? Princess SummerFallWinterSpring

was a hottie when I was four or five.

[ToolTex]

40. Yep, and Yep.

[ToolTex]

41. I think she could have had a better wardrobe malfunction

than Jannet J by several cup sizes.

[rzemanfl]

45. Things always look bigger when you are a kid decide for

yourself: http://www.glamourgirlsofthesilverscreen.com/showpic.php?id=274

I alway learn something from these nostalgia threads. I never knew that Captain James Tiberius Kirk did a stint on Howdy Doody.

[Cleita]

42. Actually, many really well-researched and written posts

die here and yet the one that stirs up a response with a few sentences will become flamers. I have had flamers and I'm not proud of them because they didn't help the discourse. That's how it goes for us common folk.

[Wapsie B]

44. That's right.

There are just some here who could cough up phlegm and have 100 posts while a well thought out post could sink like a rock. But that's life on the 'net.
