The children of the lounge present him with flowers for refusing to back down:


parade honoring new Lounge leadership:

[two gun sid]

1. Before I do, I must know....

will I be allowed a free hand to deal with our enemies? Total annihilation is too good for these scum.

[Zuni]

3. I wouldn't have it any other way

Here is our secret weapon:

[two gun sid]

6. I'm in....

we'll march (to the tune of "Guitarzan") on a road of bones.

[Zuni]

8. We are on the March!

[El Fuego]

[Zuni]

7. take this!

[DistressedAmerican]

26. Withering Attack Yes But, Just Wait Until I Bust Out MY Secret Weapon!

The Kleeb Laser Eyes Of Death! As I understand it he is matcom's bitch or something like that! He WILL fry your ursurping ass!

[Zuni]

29. damn! He truly is evil!

But I'll kill the puppy unless you back off

[BikeWriter]

39. Kill the puppy if you dare! The women will get you!

[Zuni]

43. Time for you to get some re-ned-ucation

[BikeWriter]

55. ACK! I ain't sceered! I have my tinfoil cap!

[Anarcho-Socialist]

9. We shall crush the rebels by nightfall

We shall bribe the Lounge peasants via promises of thread re-distribution and collectivisation of copycat threads.

Any future threads are to be first approved by the Centralised Committee on Central Thread Planning.

Revolutionaries of the Lounge unite!

[Zuni]

10. excellent idea

too many greedy copycatters control almost all of the Copy cat threads of the Lounge. Kleeb and stop the morans, for instance!

[two gun sid]

13. That Kleeb fellow is incommunicado at the moment....

traveling on a train. Time for you to post some copycats.

[Tsiyu]

19. Zuni ate Kleeb

He is no more. *burp*

And while you dumb Fascists argue over whose gun is bigger, we are making mandelas and painting ourselves with henna and playing sitars.

This will be a cultural revolution and we shall overcome your weapons with superior artwork and folk songs...





And the String Cheese Incident...

[Zuni]

21. mmmm....Kleeb

I get hungry just thinking about him

[BikeWriter]

11. We have you surrounded. Put down that keyboard and...

back away slowly!

[Zuni]

12. Hey, I thought you were with me?

I have a big Swiss bank account full of plundered riches, if you turn your 'assets' around

[BikeWriter]

15. You thought we'd stay bought?

Why should we settle for crumbs when we could have the entire Lounge?

[Huckebein the Raven]

73. Sorry, BikeWriter's ladies need my company

or is it the other way around ? Freedom is hard work as our preznit would say

:evilgrin:

[BikeWriter]

82. I like the way you think, Pard.

:)

[Bok_Tukalo]

14. Seems the militia movement has hired some good PR guys

I'm ready to join.

[BikeWriter]

16. Now you're on the right side...

Don't listen to those weakling usurpers!

[Zuni]

17. stop that insolence

[BikeWriter]

22. I've got pirates on my side, too!

[Zuni]

23. They cannot stop the son of Heaven

[two gun sid]

24. Fuck all that. Show me the gold again.

[Zuni]

27. riches

the whole other stuff is bullshit for superstitious Lounge peasantry. Lets get down to brass tacks here:

[two gun sid]

32. Damn straight....

collectivism and thread redistribution was never my thing. I leave that for the simpletons and rubes. I am a mercenary and an all around bad man and I'm not ashamed of it.

[BikeWriter]

35. Don't waver now! Remember our *Sniff* worthy comrades!

[DistressedAmerican]

28. I AM Willing To Deal If Substantial Gold Is On The Table As Well!

Or are you just a fraud Zuni?

[Zuni]

31. I opened the K-Tel Solid Gold Oldies Vault the other night

we can all share

[entanglement]

77. Put my hands up? Sure, Anything you say!

anything!!

:evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[BikeWriter]

18. I'm proclaiming a new religion to consolidate our coup...

All hail the Church of the Holy Frisbee!

[Zuni]

20. Amen

cults are encouraged in the Lounge New Order

[BikeWriter]

25. This ain't no lightweight cult! We drink our sacrament...

the Holy Tequila, from the Holy Frisbee!

[BikeWriter]

30. The Official Church of the Holy Frisbee Theme Song...

[Zuni]

33. I'd like to have Pope Dick for dinner tonight

send him to my presidential palace

[BikeWriter]

34. I've got the mountain men on my side, too.

[Zuni]

36. Hey, thats my grandpa

ha---made you look

[BikeWriter]

37. No it isn't. That's me, too, and this one:

[El Fuego]

38. Viva la Revolution!

To enforce order in the New Regime, we've got this thingy -- and we're not afraid to use it!

[Zuni]

41. Good call

but I have been using this to keep the rabble in line :scared:

[El Fuego]

44. OH MY GOD . . .

We're gonna TORTURE them??? :wow: :wow: :wow:

[Zuni]

45. What do you think this is, Magic Mountain? This the New Lounge!

Be careful, buddy, or this might be in your near future:

[El Fuego]

49. **trembles with terror**

:scared: :scared:

*gulp*

All Hail President Zuni.

[BikeWriter]

53. Shh, don't tell him but...

We're bringing in Britney!

[El Fuego]

58. Nooooooooooooo

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything but that!! It's cruel and inhuman! :scared:

[BikeWriter]

83. Sure, that's why we're going to do it!

[Tsiyu]

66. Aha. but I've defected from your numbers and I have

HAHAHAHA!!!! Cower in fear!!!!!

[El Fuego]

68. Yikes! They've gone nuclear!!!!

:scared: :scared: :scared:

[Zuni]

70. It's turkey time! Gobble gobble

*you had to have seen the movie to understand the horror of this line

[BikeWriter]

84. I am not impressed! One of my exes was terminally cute like that...

I am immune now!

[Zuni]

87. Did she ever use the phrase "its turkey time, gobble gobble?"

if so, you were right to get out of the relationship

[BikeWriter]

90. She said that all the time, but she was fantastic in...

the kitchen. It was her one redeeming quality.

[BikeWriter]

46. I'm calling the Hague! That's a war crime!

[El Fuego]

62. Gonzalez & Rumsfeld say it's legal! *sticks tongue out*

[BikeWriter]

65. Don't be displaying your sex organs in the Lounge!

Escrew Gonzalez & Rumsfeld!!!!

[BikeWriter]

42. That was so overdone by the French!

:(

[Bok_Tukalo]

47. Your coup sucks

Suicide, deaths, and "why do you live?" Your revolution is a disaster.

[El Fuego]

50. It's our coup and we can do what we want to!

[Bok_Tukalo]

67. Your coup has brought angst to the forum

Its infection has spread. People are questioning their own existence and its purpose. Frolicking is frowned upon. Laughter is suspect. Sarcasm is punishable. Irreverence is a sin.

The revolution is a failure. Either step down or suffer the consequences.

[El Fuego]

69. No, the Lounge People rejoice!

Flame wars for everyone! The return of the Sex Thread!

[Zuni]

72. all the evidence you need is in this handy propaganda poster

[Zuni]

51. I have something for people like you

accept the coup or accept...

:hide:

I think you'll make the right decision

[Bok_Tukalo]

64. I'm not scared of you. I have secret powers.

I have the ability to turn off the TV whenever I choose. That's right. I ... can ... turn ... the ... TV ... off.

I have even gone for long stretches of time, weeks, without viewing it at all. True, I may sometime get weak and watch Battlestar Galactica but that is an aberation.

I am Rational Man. Look upon my works ye mighty and dispair!

[miss_kitty]

48. This sounds like a schism. Do we need to establish another lounge

outside of Rome? Say, somewhere in France? Avignon, anyone?

Or is it an East-West Schism-do we need to put a lounge in Istanbul?

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. Long live the coup!!!!

All hail to our esteemed leader, Zuni!!!!

:patriot:

[Zuni]

54. there is prosperity in your future

[BikeWriter]

56. Don't believe him! He told me that too! Shortly before I...

stabbed him in the back.

[greatauntoftriplets]

57. Oh, I'll believe that part when I see it....

But I haven't seen Leader Zuni diss Chicago like some other people, but I won't name names.....

[BikeWriter]

59. Well, I haven't dissed that cesspool, I mean... Uh, that great city!

[greatauntoftriplets]

60. Nor will I diss.....

Baja Oklahoma.

:evilgrin:

[BikeWriter]

63. AARRGGHH! Oh, it's my heart again. Another pesky heart attack...

brought on by criticism of my beautiful Lone Star State! Long may it reign!

[Zuni]

71. The Great Leader even has pics of great Chicago architecture

in his photobucket account!

[Bunny]

61. Bunny comes bombin' up in the Eat Me car, to save the day!

[El Fuego]

76. *snork*

[Abelman]

74. What kind of government are we talking here?

Because if it's a solarian monarchy, I'm out.

[El Fuego]

79. It's Totalitarian Anarchy

[Zuni]

81. more of a messianic cult communist regime really

[El Fuego]

91. Will the New Lounge Order have an open bar?

If I'm going to support this coup business, I need to know if the party line includes partying.

[Zuni]

99. of course

we encourage all lounge residents to drink themselves senseless

:beer: mmm good

[RetroLounge]

75. I wil lead the forces of good with our secret weapon

RL

[entanglement]

78. Are you going to lead a New Lounge Order? n/t

[Zuni]

80. That is part of my platform that I am advancing

[BikeWriter]

85. I was thinking of something along the lines of the Inquisition...

You can be an altar boy.

[El Fuego]

86. NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[BikeWriter]

89. I know. Diabolical, isn't it?

:)

[hickman1937]

88. I'm so confused. I've donned my war harness, sharpened my

sword, mounted my trusty steed, and the alliance has fractured. Bite me. I'm going back to the castle. PM me when you guys stop the penis waving.

[tjwmason]

92. If I support the Great Leader

What sinecure job do I get?

I'm thinking that Ambassador to the Carribean would suit my talents well.....I could assist the coup with money laundering through Cayman Island bank accounts then as well (with full diplomatic immunity).

[Zuni]

100. You will be rewarded handsomely

but don't try to cross me: I have the ability to unleash the most diabolical evil your country ever created

[tjwmason]

101. My loyalty know no bounds

Especially whilst the money keep rolling into my Swiss bank account - and the threat of the Spice Girls hangs over me :scared:

Death to all imposters! Viva Generalissimo Zuni!

[Goathead]

93. General Zuni! I have sent for you!

My commandos will stop your pitiful insurrection and reinstate ME as supreme ruler. I have a warship in the harbor and a plane at the airport that will take you to either Spain or Switzerland. They will give you asylum there. This is your last warning!

[Zuni]

102. Your "troops" are no match for my A-Team

[El Fuego]

103. The Coup has Dirk Benedict

Which is better than their Pope Benedict threads.

As they say on A-Team, "I love it when a plan comes together."

[imenja]

94. Remember I'm in charge of the ATA gulag

Though you have not yet properly appreciated the uniform I chose for the occasion.

Edit: I have just claimed my dominion in ATA.

[El Fuego]

95. My forces have already taken ATA!

I have already proclaimed myself Supreme Commander of ATA:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3106657

[imenja]

96. Consider yourself under occupation

I got the uniform and I'm armed. You got nothing. :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[El Fuego]

98. Au contraire!

My forces have captured this:



Without the avatar, you have NOTHING! I am the voice of authority in ATA!

[imenja]

104. my forces

And you contest my authority? I have a special chamber in the gulag reserved just for you.

[El Fuego]

106. I will defeat your army of Cleverly Photoshopped Minions!!!

I am still the de facto Supreme Commander of pseudo-ATA!!!!

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

**rattles saber**

[imenja]

97. I've already taken over ATA

You proclaimed your leadership in the lounge. That is for you and Zuni to work out. My dominion over the ATA gulag is absolute.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=120&topic_id=33985&mesg_id=33985

[El Fuego]

105. Pres. Zuni!! I found this while we were pillaging and looting the Lounge!

What do I do with it?



It was on top of an old Twister game.

[Goathead]

107. Achtung!
