1. Why didn't you mention me?1

[jobycom]

2. Um, er... Not sure, really...

California Peggy's just been more fun lately?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear Crazy Guggenheim!

You are also a BIG part of the fun at night in the Lounge. Where on earth would we all be without your wonderful pic threads to entertain and amuse us? I ALWAYS look forward to those, and feel sad when they don't appear...You are a PILLAR of the Lounge!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

23. Awww thanks.

[LastKnight]

3. oscar, oh damn thats a throwback

good times.

[jobycom]

9. Yep, yep, yep.

A moment than can never be recaptured.

[hfojvt]

24. I could not find such a person

down the memory hole? Or was it Oscar___?

[jobycom]

29. Not a person, but a ... a...

No way to describe. Here, enjoy.

[hfojvt]

33. okay, thanks

I remember something more recent like that, or maybe somebody did a "remember when" link.

[jobycom]

40. It pops up on every "best of" link

I think it was chosen as the funniest thread ever, and someone suggested Oscar as the official DU mascot.

[Heidi]

4. I protest!

Why WEREN'T Enigmatic and Crazy Guggenheim among the polling options? (I voted for my girlfriend California Peggy!)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Heidi!

If you'd been a choice, I'd have voted for you! You are one very special lady, you know!



Don't you mean why WEREN'T they choices? Makes more sense, I think.

[Heidi]

13. Sharp eyes, Peggy!

I fixed my typo!

Biggo hug --- >

[Crazy Guggenheim]

15. Yeah thanks!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Ah, even at this hour...my proofreading skills amaze me...

I used to proofread for a little weekly newspaper...the folks doing the pasting up HATED me. LOLOL....

back atcha!

[jobycom]

7. Sorry, I call them as I see them.

I'm not sure which is which, though.

[Heidi]

17. Night crew primer.

CaliforniaPeggy is the nice, blue-eyed lady who brings a heaping helping of good cheer to the Lounge late at night.

Enigmatic is the one and only King of genreless Enigma internet Radio . . . click on his link and have a listen.

And there are many, many others who make the Lounge a great place to be at night/early morning: Droopy, WCGreen, KitchenWitch, LastKnight, MrScorpio, MissHoneyChurch . . .

[jobycom]

25. Actually

What I meant was, i didn't know how Enigmatic or Crazy Guggenheim were in my poll. I assumed you meant that one was, for instance, the "Hey I'm drunk" option, or something like that. I see from your California Peggy posts that you meant to ask why they weren't in the poll, so my post became irrelevant.

[Heidi]

27. I understand. My fingers fly at the peril of clarity. I edited my post. nt

[enigmatic]

10. California Peggy deserves it

She(other than you, of course) is the nicest person on DU..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Thank you, enigmatic!

I guess I'll have to get my awful temper out and inflict it on some poor bastard to reverse this wonderful reputation I have! J/K...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Omigod, jobycom!

I AM BLUSHING! Here I am, getting ready to vote, scrolling down the list, when BAM here's MY NAME! I think my BP just spiked...lollol! I mean, I love you too...but omigod...

THANK YOU

[jobycom]

8. Face it, CalP

You've become a legend!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. ME? Are you sure?

legend...this is hard for me to get my little brain around...WHY ME? I don't get it...I can't say, though, that I mind...

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN...

[jobycom]

20. Yep! And so far, you're running away in a landslide!

Oops, shouldn't say landslide to someone in California, should I?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. ROFLMAO!

Where I live, there aren't any landslides! We are quite safe, thank you!

I'm amazed at this poll...I want you all to know that I did NOT vote in any of these categories...

[Radio_Lady]

49. You're just my favorite, too, Peggy.

Maybe I should refer to myself as OregonEllen and I might get some votes (write in??)

[Zomby Woof]

12. Yoiks, yaks, and coffee

And scrappin' in GD.

[jobycom]

16. The yoiks option was your fault

You do realize, don't you?

[Zomby Woof]

19. Of course!

My moving tribute to them last night... who couldn't be inspired by that?

[jobycom]

21. Not me, apparently!

It was quite moving. In fact, one of the movingest smileys I've ever witnessed.

[madeline_con]

28. Crazy Guggenheim

[Crazy Guggenheim]

Thanks.

[autorank]

30. Finding you flirting with Southlandshari!!!

...actually, my favorite forum was just "hidden" by "management" Election Results and Discussion, so that's my real answer.

Jimmey Buffet, the one good thing I'll say about him is, he's a loyal Democrat...

[jobycom]

31. Better say more good things than that about him

Or else I ain't done flirtin'!

[autorank]

34. Let's see, he's kind to animals, especially cats and he's not

Lawrence Welk, yeah, that's it, not Lawrence Welk. No Polka!

I think I saw him once at CBGB's but I can't be sure, opened for the Sex Pistols on their "No More England" tour in the 70's.

How am I doing?

[southlandshari]

36. Oh dear...

Not so good, darlin'.

But then again, I have caught my almost-cyberfling including another woman in his Lounge poll tonight, so I haven't given up on you yet...

Try harder!

[autorank]

37. Well, has he told you about the...oh,I just can't say it

Shhh...he used to be a Libertarian...you know how wild they are? Or is that Libertines, anyway, you get my point.

[jobycom]

38. I ain't NEVER

been no Libertarian, thank you VERY much!

Libertine... What makes you say "used to?"

[jobycom]

39. You are unfamiliar with his work with manatees, I take it?

Co-founder of the "Save the manatee" club? He even works them into his novels.

http://www.savethemanatee.org/

[autorank]

47. He can write? Lard, Florida schools have done themselves proud.

[southlandshari]

48. Stop!!!

You are fighting a losing battle on this one, I'm afraid...

Jimmy Buffett went to school in Mississippi and Alabama (spent some time here at Auburn, in fact).

[autorank]

52. I'm not even going near that one. Auburn is a very fine school.

Wow, the last time I saw that, "Stop", in a subject field of a message to me, it was from the gone, but not forgotten, Valerie5959 or whatever her name was (((xoxo))), you know the one.

[southlandshari]

54. Yes - I know the one.

Had to stop! her several times, IIRC!




Is this what someone else was referring to when they used the term "thread jack" in this thread? Uh oh....

[autorank]

55. Well...

I think she was into that and a little symbolic bondage, but that's just one man's opinion.

Like I said, Auburn, GREAT SCHOOL!!!

[southlandshari]

35. I think you are missing an option in your poll

Hint, hint.

[NMMNG]

32. Other (There must always be an "other" option)

Variety. I like the fact that there are so many possibilities on DU. I never have to be worried about getting bored, and if I ever get overwhelmed by any one board I can de-stress by heading to the Lounge or one of the tamer groups or boards. DU has something for every mood and need.

[jobycom]

44. Well said, and very true! nt.

[bicentennial_baby]

41. OSCAR!!!!

please come home...

[name not needed]

42. Thread-jacking

[jobycom]

43. God Dammit!

Where were you last night? Definitely should have been included!

[southlandshari]

51. Thread jacking? What's that?

[Parrcrow]

45. Newyawker's milestone threads

especially when I'm on 'em.

[jobycom]

46. LOL You know

She is good. I posted my 10,000 back around May, and I thought she missed it. A couple months later I mentioned this casually in another thread, and someone searched (I didn't have a star then) and found that she hadn't missed it, I had missed her post! (The thread sunk surprisingly quickly, proving my irrelevance around here, but it was there!)

Sorry, Newyawker, wish I'd been reminded while I could still edit!

[no name no slogan]

50. The People

the greatest collection of humanity this side of the sun, IMHO.

[KitchenWitch]

53. Definitely CaliforniaPeggy!

You even have to ask????

[CaliforniaPeggy]

57. My dear KitchenWitch! And Swag as well....

I love you both, you know it. I have so many friends here, I can scarcely grasp it. And to find my name in a poll...well, it doesn't get much better than that, here on DU.

THANK YOU

[swag]

56. Peggy wins again.

She went away and was missed, but she's back and is loved.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

58. Oscar returns all the time.

[enigmatic]

59. The middle of the night in The Lounge

I love it this time of night..
