Lounge Rule #3 - If you're going to copycat , make it funny

[yvr girl]

Yes, we still have the Official DU Rules. They still apply.

But I think we need a Lounge Manifesto. Let's start with some Lounge specific rules.

[flvegan]

1. What are rules #1 and #2?

[yvr girl]

2. Lounge Rule #8 - Things don't need to be sequential

Feel free to provide rule number 1 and 2

[BikeWriter]

36. How about rule number 1: We don't need no stinkin' rules!

rule number 2: We still don't need no stinkin' rules!

[JimmyJazz]

3. Rule #1 - Always respond to my threads.

:hi:

[BikeWriter]

42. We always respond your threads anyway, Honey Bun.

:)

[OldLeftieLawyer]

4. Rule Number 1

Keep in mind that people who need rules are deficient.

[NoPasaran]

5. Number Two

The Larch

The Larch

[yvr girl]

6. Abstract - I like it

[DS1]

7. Switching out words just because they rhyme or are spelled in a

similar fashion a copycat does not make.

No more than three copycats per thread without some form of DRASTIC reworking of the topic of mixing of AT LEAST two other previously uncopycatted (virgin) topics/subjects.

[chickenscratching]

9. Rule # 45

Yoda-esque stringing of words is not allowed under any circumstances.

[DS1]

12. Rule # 0.5

People that have naked Hasselhoff or Reynolds write only null rules.

[chickenscratching]

22. Rule # .333333

People in denial of their allegiance to stallions such as Hasselhoff or Reynolds can refer to Rule # 8.2: Get the FUDGE out

[DS1]

25. Foolish child

It should be: Get the FUDGE in

[Fleshdancer]

23. I second that

and besides, what the hell is Hasselhoff doing to that poor dog??? :scared:

[BikeWriter]

38. WTF Kenobi? Did you go over to the Dark Side?

:(

[StopTheMorans]

8. Lounge Rule #4-people who make up arbitrary rules for the lounge are

pretentious wankers

[lady lib]

13. Rule #5

It's okay to be a pretentious wanker as long as you're funny.

Rule #6 anyone who is condescending to a pretentious wanker is a pretentious wanker himself.

[StopTheMorans]

14. rule #7-anyone who doesn't see the irony of making a rule making

fun of someone making an arbitrary rule, and whose screen name is an alliteration, is an assclown.

[lady lib]

19. I'm dizzy.

Rule #8 No irony or big words like "alliteration" allowed before my third cup of coffee.

:) :) :) :) :) :)

p.s. and I like it when you call me assclown.:+

[yvr girl]

21. Sweetie, these rules aren't arbitrary

I've been sitting in a tree for a week meditating and contemplating the lounge.

[BikeWriter]

40. Freakin' A right, Pard! I got your back!

27. You didn't like my Pablo Cruise appreciation thread?

[yvr girl]

28. I just wanted some rules

Not a reflection on any of the current crop of threads.

[BikeWriter]

47. A likely story! How come your first post attacked my copycat posts?

[yvr girl]

50. It was just a coincidence

really

[jswordy]

29. "Funny" is highly subjective...VERY highly subjective. n/t

[BikeWriter]

41. No shit, and Yvr Girl meant that one for me!

I've still got the dog!

[Anarcho-Socialist]

30. I have my own lounge rules...

Lounge Rule #1 - All Lounge Rules should be heeded.
Lounge Rule #2 - See Lounge Rule #5.
Lounge Rule #3 - Discourse must be conducted in both Welsh and English
Lounge Rule #4 - Threads and Lounge Rules that are deemed to be "too abstract" should be dipped in molten cheese
Lounge Rule #5 - Lounge Rule #2 should be retired forthwith
Lounge Rule #6 - Fudge to be served on napkins
Lounge Rule #7 - The current time system of centuries/years/days/hours/minutes/seconds is to be replaced with a more efficient time system consisting of a single, relative very-long second that lasts from the Big-bang to the end of the universe.

[yvr girl]

31. Lounge Rule #21 - There is no drinking age in the Lounge

and all drinks are free

[BikeWriter]

32. We don't need no stinkin' rules! Stop that talk or the mutt gets it!

[BikeWriter]

33. Our copycats have to be funny? You're singling me out!

That's harassment!
:(

[yvr girl]

34. You don't want me to harass you

And I was just going to cop a feel. Bummer.

[BikeWriter]

37. I've still got my hostage covered...

[Richardo]

My copycats are ALWAYS funny.
