What are your top three reasons for appreciating the DU Lounge?

[salin]

Mine:

1. The clever (generally) spin-off threads (until they get out of control and need locking)... These titles often crack me up!
2. Learning that indeed... "We Are All Will Pitt" (does anyone have that link????)
3. The camaraderie among the silly - and the compassion among all.

Here's to the lounge: :toast:

[CShine]

1. Endless threads about pets

[ronnykmarshall]

2. Hmmmm?

1. The witty postings

2. The pet pics.

3. Matcom's Ass

[Faygo Kid]

3. Humor at the Right's expense

The one thing blowhards like O'Reilly and Limbaugh can't tolerate is ridicule. The clever stuff here nails 'em good.

4. Where else can you have a silly conversation at 3am?

From the comfort of your home... I mean, without paying $2.99 a minute. ;-)




It's the best place to really learn about other DUers



I can make this symbol appear on the screen

:dem:

And get nothing but love... (Try doing THAT on another website)

[SOteric]

5. The potential in the matter of cultural literacy...

between the collected regulars here, there's almost nothing folks don't know about books, music, movies and trends of the last 100 years.

[ewagner]

15. Agree

the collective wisdom of the lounge dwellers never ceases to amaze me. No matter what the subject, there is always wisdom to be found.

6. 1. It isn't GD Crunchy Style.

2. It isn't GD Smooth Style (sheesh--just got outta there for a while and I feel like I need a huge bath!)

3. FUN, dammit (and the occasional heartfelt tug at my heart, I really enjoy those, too.

3. I love yaks.

[GURUving]

7. It's difficult to appreciate an addiction

okay. There. I said it. I, GURUving am a lounge addict. I need help.

1) it's a great place to toss out ideas that would be considered goofy anywhere else on the planet.

edit for 2 and 3

2)because

3)just because

[ikojo]

8. Why I am a Lounge Lizard

I love the Lounge because...

1. People here don't take themselves so seriously and they share cat pix.
2. We can share and get help during those trying times.
3. Where else will I see smilies such as I see in the Lounge?

[Hubert Flottz]

9. I know what you mean about the PA pike!

Last time I was on it there was about a foot of snow!

I try to stay away, but I miss the fun people here!

[VelmaD]

10. 1. Sex threads...when we can get away with them

2. the way that people who are screaming at the universe (or at each other) can come to the Lounge and let it go and have a little fun

3. Did I mention sex threads? ;-)

[catzies]

11. Cats, yaks, and coffee

Oh, and ask me anything.

2. Unlike most of the Internet (and the world in general), most of the folks I've met at DU are kindred spirits.

3. I love the Lounge because it stays crispy in milk!

[salin]

2. I like to talk about personal things.
3. Silly polls.

3. Music. I have been exposed to a lot of interesting music here. Plus, no matter how obsure the act, someone here has heard of them.

2. Laughs. There are some damned funny people here. Very clever as well.

1. Comraderie. It's great to be with so many like-minded people.

Edit - reversed my order. Oops. :-)

I can't name just three reasons why I love the Lounge. I like everything.

20. Lounge appreciation...

(1) The great support available here when one of us is having a personal crisis. :grouphug:

(2) Getting to know fellow Evil DUers better, a little at a time. :D

(3) Goofing off is not only acceptable, but encouraged! :silly:
