ad. :evilgrin:

[entanglement]

5. While we're at it, can you tell me why you hate popcorn AND america?

:evilgrin:

[ZombieNixon]

6. When did I ever say I hated popcorn?

"Watch out for the anti-popcorn crowd to hijack your thread" does not equal "I hate popcorn."

:wtf: What are you drinking?

:evilgrin:

[entanglement]

7. Coffee

:rofl:

[ZombieNixon]

8. Come on, man!

You're supposed to say "So you don't deny you hate America?" I gave you the opening, and you didn't take it. WWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYY???!!!

Coffee is good, though.

:rofl:

[entanglement]

12. Yeah, I deviated from the script on purpose

Hence the :rofl:

[ZombieNixon]

13. Geez, way to end a flame war!

I hate coffee!

:evilgrin:

[Doris32r]

75. You hate coffee? That's fu%%ing cold!

Are you sure you're even in the right place? That has got to be one of the worst things I have ever read on here. Why don't you go back to your little repuke friends.

;-) :loveya:

[ZombieNixon]

79. Well, yes. I hate coffee that's fucking cold.

Unless it's iced frappucino. Mmm! :hangover:

[Doris32r]

85. LOL!!!

:rofl:

[spacelady]

93. Coffee is the Debbil's workshop! You are unpatriotic.

I am praying for you.

[Ptah]

9. Sorry you got it so wrong. It's dissection of a vortex. n/t

[blondeatlast]

10. More deleted messages!

And more cowbell.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

11. Locked. Flame war.

[Blue_Tires]

14. and THAT is why

we need people like Nader in there!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

15. POPCORN! FRESH AND HOT!

[intheflow]

16. Women should wear their hair short and bleached blond!

Leiberman is my hero!
Clark is better than Kerry!
Kerry is better than Clark!
Clark and Kerry are both traitors who hate America!
Husbands should have veto power over wives abortions!
Social Security is fucked up and should be abolished!

I could go on, but I'm making myself want to start a flame war with myself! :crazy:

[blondeatlast]

17. Laura Branigan had a roadie fired for putting cornmeal

in the fried chicken batter...

[Crazy Guggenheim]

21. Her music sucked!

[intheflow]

23. C'mon! Gloria!

A thousand times better than the Doors' lame song of the same title!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

25. Laura was not a vegan! So what does that tell you??

[intheflow]

31. Deleted message.

[blondeatlast]

77. I couldn't agree more. nt

[blondeatlast]

76. Why do they let such negative types as CG in the Lounge, I swear...

Hmph!

[blondeatlast]

74. "Gloria" rocked and what a voice.

LB rocked with the best of them!

What's wrong with you? So you don't like it--don't piss on other people. Sheesh.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

18. WHY DOESN'T THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CALL FOR THE

LEGALIZATION OF DRUGS?

[intheflow]

19. What crazy commie pinko would flame that?

:hide:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

20. Me a commie pinko? Perhaps the model of Cuba is worth taking

taking a look at! But I am not a commie pinko!

Did you know you are playing into KKKarl Rove's hands by saying that Cuba is a Communist country? Please!! It is modeling on the Marxist philosophy of a classless society! Not the beaucratic Stalinists old the old Soviet Union!! Get your facts straight jerk!


*Hey I'm pretty good at this*

[intheflow]

22. I never said anything about Cuba!

And I resent your saying I did! Castro is worth ten Stalins and three Joseph McCarthys, though I'll see your Stalinist regieme rant and raise you 20 Noam Chomskys and a Howard Zinn!

AND yer mother wears army boots!!




*Hey, I'm not good at this at all!*

[Crazy Guggenheim]

24. Get lost! You are obviously a Freeper. I should alert on this.

[entanglement]

26. So you are one of those freepers with a high post count?

Haha I know you very well.

MODS!!! We have a freeper!

:silly: :crazy: :dunce:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

27. You have nerve coming in here! Have you read Che' on this?

[blondeatlast]

78. I alerted--you can't call someone that even if it's true. nt

[intheflow]

28. Try reading the rules, Dude:

Your calling me a freeper (and notice which one of us capitalized that word!) is clearly in violation of rules #2 & #3.
It is clearly a personal attack, incoherent, and bigoted!

}( :9 :bounce: :dunce: :hurts: :thumbsdown: :donut: :patriot: :yoiks: :grr:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

29. Well.

[BikeWriter]

32. :-P

[intheflow]

33. I'm leaving DU!

:-P

:wtf:

You're all crazy! Now what in hell is that supposed to mean?

:crazy:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

34. Well I'm sure that KKKarl Rove is happy.

[intheflow]

39. How do you know what makes KKKarl happy?

*Sorry, CG. That was a low blow. So to speak.*

[Crazy Guggenheim]

42. He's happy whenever someone leaves us!

[intheflow]

55. Alert!

Posting lewd and unnatural images.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

56. Are you now saying the human body is un-natural? OMG!

[intheflow]

59. You're twisting my words!

Homophobe! :spank: :grr:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

60. Have you tried reading Ghandi?

[intheflow]

63. You mean this dude?

Indeed I have.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

66. Yes. End of story.

[intheflow]

69. ...

[BikeWriter]

38. That is a smiley with the tongue sticking out.

And yes, of course we are crazy!

[intheflow]

41. Well, Viva the Vida Loco!

:thumbsup:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

30. Why not support The DLC?

[intheflow]

36. WHY support the DLC?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

37. They can reach out to all those people in the Red States.

[intheflow]

52. Look at your own graphic!

Mostly white rich people! :eyes: Exactly the demographic in the Red States!

Classist! Racist!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

53. But there are two women and one black?

[intheflow]

57. You call that diversity?

This is diversity!



*Photo actually taken by intheflow. :)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

58. That looks bad for The Democrats. We have to stop the leftist!!

BTW, good photo.

[intheflow]

68. Stop the Leftists?

I AM

the

LEFTISTS!

:cry:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

70. Well I'm glad you're the only one!!

[Elidor]

40. The DLC is on our side. If they keep losing elections with all that money

It must mean we need to give them even more and trust to their political skills in the meantime. Yeah. That sounds like a good idea to me. Quit picking on the DLC! :cry:

[JVS]

35. People first!

[SeattleGirl]

43. No way! "Animals first"

:rofl: :popcorn:

[JVS]

47. Animals suck and deserve to be killed and eaten

[BikeWriter]

54. I'm going outside to kill something now!

[JVS]

90. Yeah!

[BikeWriter]

94. It seems like the right thing to do. When in doubt, kill something.

[intheflow]

44. Athiests rule, Christians drool.

[SeattleGirl]

45. Ah, agnostics got 'em both beat!

:rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

46. Right on!!

[SeattleGirl]

50. Left off!!!!

:rofl: :popcorn: :rofl: :popcorn:

[JVS]

48. May God smite you, Godless heathen!

[intheflow]

61. I'm Goddess-Blessed, not Godless!

You bigoted religious zealot!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

62. You tell 'em!

[JVS]

92. Pfeh!

[BikeWriter]

64. What's with all this Godless heathen bashing?

We Godless heathens have feelings too!
:shrug:

[The Magistrate]

49. Locking

Much too funny to be allowed to continue giving away the game....

Happy hunting, good Lizards!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

51. What about freedom of speech?

[intheflow]

65. Welcome to BushCo.'s Amerika.

:tinfoilhat:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

67. Yeah .....

The "terraist" might be listening. :crazy:

[The Magistrate]

72. What About It, Sir?

"They were going to say that we interfered with freedom of expression. That is a lie, and naturally we could not allow them to print it."

[Crazy Guggenheim]

73. Uh ......... yeah.

[intheflow]

91. So you admit your complicity in repression of free speech!

:silly:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

71. Hillary/McCain ticket. A sure winner!

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[blondeatlast]

80. Pragmatically, it's got to be McCain/Hillary, but I like it, I really

like it!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

81. Wait a minute! Now just hold on! It's about time a woman was in the

lead.

[blondeatlast]

82. Agreed, but now isn't the time. We must bring the masses along gently...

Edited to add: I'm a feminist, but we've got to be realistic here.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

83. You obviously have self-hatred.

[blondeatlast]

84. How utterly sexist. You wouldn't say that to me if I were a man.

I can't believe DU allows such misogyny.

In men, it's insecurity, in women it's self-hatred.

Maybe I should leave if it's tolerated here. Hmph.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

86. IF YOU WERE A MAN! UUUGH!

[blondeatlast]

87. Look, I'm sorry, I didn't read your profile.

I'm sorry, I should have checked it before I assumed...

[Crazy Guggenheim]

88. I was just playing the opposite .......... You know what I mean ...

[blondeatlast]

89. Aaawwww,

:hug:

My husband can't understand why I'm sitting here snickering at the football game he's watching.
