Today is the worst day in the history of Democratic Underground.

[LoZoccolo]

[fenriswolf]

1. k, i'll bite, why?

[TwilightGardener]

2. Why? (looking around, confused)

[slackmaster]

3. Wow, that's messed up

[Nailzberg]

10. So that means that every single day that I'm one DU, that's on the worst day of DU.

:rofl:

[slackmaster]

14. Can I just come home and think I've been fishing all day, or something?

:argh:

[elixir]

23. Great graphic, great movie.

[Rockholm]

4. Disagree.

That would have been the day before the New Hampshire primary.

[Bicoastal]

5. I know, I know...it's pissing me off too...

...but as I observed earlier, DU in no way resembles real life.

[marmar]

6. GD-Politics is a cesspool....

I rarely peek....and when I do, it's like that scene in "Poltergeist" where the mom peeks into her children's haunted room, even though she shouldn't, only to find the toys and evil spirits flying around.

[ecstatic]

7. I think so too. All the racial threads. All I can do is shake my head

Would Colin Powell face this much racist crap from refugs if he were to run?

[elixir]

26. Ah, there's the rub. Colin Powell has years of experience, proven track records and military

experience to fall back on. You can tell Colin Powell would know what to do from day one. Obama will be great, he's just to inexperienced.

[sam sarrha]

46. the only problem is that he was W's colon pal

[wyldwolf]

8. it ranks right up there

However, there was a day back in '04 I missed, being gone for the weekend, where a handful of people were banned.

[redqueen]

9. DOOGA DOOGA DOOGA!

[MrCoffee]

16. w00t

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


if there were a "pissing your pants laughing" smiley, i'd use that one too

[Cant trust em]

20. Nice to see another Gooner on DU.

[Bonobo]

34. Me too! Dooga Dooga Dooga Dooga Dooga! Wee! It's fun once you start!

[redqueen]

You too?!

:bounce:

Top of the table! :toast:

[Cant trust em]

40. Who needs Thierry Henry...

when we've got Fabregas, Hleb, Flamini, et al.

[redqueen]

41. And Bendtner and Eduardo!

And Adebayor, too! (I don't care what the haters say, I think he's fantastic.)

[Cant trust em]

43. Some BBC guy had this to say about our Crozillian

Eduardo is so laid back in front of goal, he is almost horziontal. I watched him score his double against Everton and he is cool as a cucumber.

[redqueen]

48. Pfff... they're so blinded by their love for the big names

they don't recognize real talent when they see it. :)

Those goals against Everton were top-drawer stuff...

[Cant trust em]

50. I'm pretty sure that it was a compliment

[redqueen]

51. Hahaha ... oh!

Sorry... most of the stuff I heard & read about him was negative. But that was before he found his feet in the Premiership, of course.

[Cant trust em]

52. Like Arsene "Jedi Master" Wenger says

it takes a few months to get used to things in the English game. No one is a better scout for talent than Arsene.

[redqueen]

54. They don't call him The Professor for nothin.

I love how he sees & develops talent... I wish I'd been a fan years ago... especially the undefeated season.

[Cant trust em]

56. I've only been following for three years

I'm happy to have gotten in at the low point of the Wenger era so that way I don't feel like a total bandwagon jumper. Now I can say that I've been through the tough times (loss of our best players, exit of the vice-chairman, takeover talk from Russian oligarchs). Now we're here to watch the most exciting team in Europe.

[redqueen]

57. Just 1 for me...

I considered Blackburn, but their style is so rough. I also considered Tottenham, but instead I picked Arsenal for their beautiful style. :)

[Cant trust em]

59. As an American following soccer

It's tough to follow anyone except one of the big clubs. They're the only ones who are in the soccer media regularly. If I were a Fulham fan I'd never have the opportunity to follow the club.

[redqueen]

60. Ah no... Fulham's on FSC often enough aren't they?

Do you watch Super Sunday +?


If you don't have Fox Soccer Channel, then yeah... it'd be next to impossible to catch any footie then really. Unless you had Setanta or something.

[Cant trust em]

61. I don't have cable

If there's an Arsenal game then I'll have my sister TiVo it for me, but I don't get to watch the rest of FSC's programming. I read most of it online. I highly recommend arseblog.com for good fan insight. Plus the Arseblogger is hilarious.

[redqueen]

62. Cool... thanks!

It might be a good thing you don't have it... I find it addictive.

You can also watch the games live on some webiste or another... but I haven't done that.

[acmavm]

11. You could be right.

[underpants]

12. We have a MOVIE!!!!!

don't get too excited, I'm not in it

[IndianaJones]

13. the designer vagina thread? nt.

[Renew Deal]

15. I don't know about that.

Yesterday was pretty bad.

[William769]

17. History will be repeating itself very shortly.

[AlCzervik]

18. :-(

[LoZoccolo]

22. Show me any public service announcement to which the Beatles lent their music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NJjkvr8r1M

[AlCzervik]

25. i'm a fan.

when i went to London a cabbie drove us by Liam's house (allegedly)

[LoZoccolo]

31. I know, that was more a challenge to everyone else, lol.

That's awesome though!

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Any particular reason?

[bicentennial_baby]

21. Score one for Oasis

[no name no slogan]

28. Shit. Beat me to it.

:D

[LynneSin]

36. I first saw that thread I thought perhaps it was finally shown that yes, the Beatles are bigger than

Oasis

But they aren't bigger than Zeppelin

:hide:

[Bonobo]

24. Not yet as idiotic to sink to repeating "Dooga dooga dooga" over and over again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xOdATCFM30

[dionysus]

32. the scary thing is he's proud of that... thinks its clever

[LoZoccolo]

35. I think it clever? How about I *know* it's clever.

If it wasn't clever, it would have gotten one star instead of two.

[dionysus]

39. then you've set an incredibly low bar for yourself man.

and let me inform you of something totally hard to grasp...

a 2 out of 5 star rating *isn't* affirmation of greatness. it means ppl think your clip sucked dude.

[Alexander]

69. You're proud of TWO stars? Pathetic.

Your argumentation skills show in your idiotic video.

[no name no slogan]

44. Wow. I could actually feel my intelligence dropping while I watched that

[Muttocracy]

27. uh oh - some may take that as a challenge n/t

[BootinUp]

30. lol nt

[2rth2pwr]

29. Here, this will make it all better.

[LynneSin]

33. I know that won't - try this

Trust me - we know!

[dionysus]

42. those 2-bit admitted Beatles ripoff artists haven't broken up YET?

*sigh*

[martymar64]

85. Didn't one of them get there teeth knocked out in a bar fight?

Maybe if they weren't such assholes, they wouldn't be in palookaville now! Are they playing bowling alleys and bar mitzvahs now?

They get my vote for most pretentious band on earth.

[NoPasaran]

37. I think it was that day in 2004 when GD: P crashed

And Skinner sent evryone to bed without any supper.

[Bucky]

38. You must not remember 2004 too well.

We've seen much worse. Those Kucinich-Dean-Clark-Kerry flamefests were absolute classics... and we didn't even have big guns like race & sex to play with. We were calling each other traitors and fascists over gun control and the freakin' Department of Peace back then.

These Obama-Clinton flamiacs are nothing but pikers.

[AlCzervik]

45. the good ole days.

pikers.

:rofl:

[Renew Deal]

55. I think we've just about arrived.

The sniping is now high quality.

[Bucky]

63. Our memories differ.

If it was sniping in 2004, this year's quibbling is little more than low calibre bird shot blasts to the face--uncosmetic and unaesthetic, but far from lethal.

In 2004 the mods had to scramble frantically to bump off, lock, and frequently delete long vicious threads full of insults. The admins (God bless 'em) had to install downright draconian rules to keep the blood from spilling. On one occasion I got a thread locked because I refered to myself as a Clarkie instead of a "Clark supporter."

We have the added salt of sex and race in this year's slam dance, but it's simply not as nasty and hysterical as 2004.

[martymar64]

86. Back then the Hillbots had Joementum!

:dunce: How misguided was that?

[sandnsea]

58. That's what is so sad now

We have the media flipping out over a white lady being told "you're nice enough", and a litany of racist remarks go unnoticed. Then when a feisty young black woman brings it to our attention, she is attacked and marginalized, and people deny that clearly racist remarks are racist. This is so much worse than 2004.

[Zynx]

47. All of the charges of racism are just bizarre.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

49. You think you won't win a DUzy

but I'll bet you're wrong.

[Debi]

53. Nope - Fat Actress wars kicks any GD-P flamefest

:rofl:

[madrchsod]

65. i missed the entire fat actress wars

must have been when my computer crashed or when i was in the hospital

[tishaLA]

70. those were the best ever

But I also used to like to go to what I called "Skinner's Corner," where everyone could kvetch about how biased the mods were, how supporters of X had ruined the board, etc. That area was especially good when NSMA or Dookus had complaints.

I miss both of them so much.

[Debi]

87. The ATA? LOVED IT!

:applause:

[LostinVA]

64. I see you have a different avatar

Yet another poster suddenly changing to yet another candidate overnight?

[LoZoccolo]

68. You can find that out for yourself if you're really interested.

Just go do a search and find out if I "had" a different candidate before this.

[madrchsod]

66. yesterday was`t so great either

blame it on windy from the city....:rofl:

[Township75]

67. Well, there is always tomorrow!

that could be way worse!!!

[Occam Bandage]

71. I could believe that.

[JVS]

72. Try to balance it with the best day on DU. Remember the day that Liebermania over-ran DU...

during the 2004 primaries and a whole bunch of Dean supporters sang the praises of Joe "our most electable choice for 2004" Lieberman?

Good times.

[Patsy Stone]

73. You owe me a keyboard

:rofl:

[JVS]

74. It was 4 years ago tomorrow. Here's one of the threads

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=113325#113556

[JVS]

76. another from that very day

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=113822

You should have seen the Joe avatars galore!

[JVS]

77. And here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=113463

[JVS]

79. And another

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=113589#113589

[Patsy Stone]

80. Okay, we have a winner:

Posted by "MrMoJoeRisin"

"Assessing Mr. Lieberman – he's the shiznit"

[JVS]

83. Wait. Check out the confusion

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=114361

[Spiffarino]

75. In that case

I'm in forever.

[forsberg]

78. I knew Obama would tear this party apart

[ursi]

81. I knew Hillary would tear this party apart! :-)

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

82. But, it's also the first day of the rest of our life. nt.

[rhett o rick]

84. didn't you say that yesterday too chicken little?? nm
