Is RetroLounge trying to steal my thunder?

Poll question: Is RetroLounge trying to steal my thunder?

RetroLounge has returned to post poetry threads in the Lounge. Many of you noticed and commented in his thread, so I assume you're already aware of this.

I think he's just trying to steal my thunder...IS HE????

[lizziegrace]

1. I've only seen one poetry thread posted

That doesn't necessarily mean that it will be a daily thread...

[BlueIris]

2. He is amassing his resources in order to STEAL MY THUNDER AWAY.

I can tell.

[Gormy Cuss]

6. You mean to steal back HIS thunder after all.

You're just a copycat.
:P

edit to add missing word.:blush:

3. Someone had been posting "Shakespeare's Thought of the Day" and I copycatted

seemingly resulting in the discontinuation of the former, which was not my intent. Weaseling in on the attention was, but not to the detriment of something valid and valuable. I wish that they would continue it.

It's a can of worms, but I say that there's enough room for two poetry threads, if both of you have enough room within yourselves to allow for it.

More is better. It's about giving something to the group and thus embiggening it, not about the attention.

That's for me to steal. ;)

:toast:

7. Aristus has been posting that for several years now, I think.

He might have taken a break from DU during the past few months. Apologies to Aristus if I've got that wrong.

[DS1]

12. Yes, it's Aristus

I did a Shatner's Thought of the Day once :)

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. .

:)

I'm glad that Aristus has received a promotion and hope that he brings the daily thread back soon.

[DS1]

4. God I hope this is a joke/tongue in cheek

if not... Wow that's sad

[lizziegrace]

5. I agree

Hope this is meant to be funny.

[Capn Sunshine]

8. the fact that there is confusion

speaks volumes for the background PM circuit

It's an enigma wrapped in a mystery covered by a chocolately conundrum.

PS --- - ----.. - . - ... - - .- -- . - .-...-

know what I mean?

[DarkTirade]

16. Mmm... chocolately conundrums...

[BlueIris]

9. Now you have hurt my feelings...co-THUNDER STEALER.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear BlueIris...

I don't think he's really trying to steal your thunder...

He loves poetry...

And he loves to show the poets who are meaningful to him, to us...

He's entitled to do this...

There's room in the Lounge for both of you!

I understand your feelings, though...

:hug:

11. ejecting before it's too late

[RetroLounge]

14. Steal Your Thunder?

I have Thor's Hammer, I don't need no stinking thunder!



:hi:

[Swede]

15. Mjolnir

The hammer mystic.

[DarkTirade]

17. Well you're not gonna get very far with that...

somebody hotwired your goat and stole your chariot while you were busy showing your hammer off... :P

[RetroLounge]

22. Not again!

Damn.

:mad:

RL

[DarkTirade]

29. Y'know, up until now I never thought I'd work the phrase 'hotwire your goat' into casual

conversation.

Thank you for proving me wrong. :P

[RetroLounge]

30. I aim to please...

It was a used goat anyhow...

:hi:

RL

[Redstone]

18. No matter if he is, nor any matter if he is not. You will continue to be you,

and he will not.

Even if both of you continue to post poetry, you'll be there and he will be there as well, although his there and your there will be different.

And so it will be.

[Critters2]

19. We need TWO poetry threads per day.

One just ain't enough.

[Deja Q]

20. Which would you rather have stolen - your thunder or your thong?

:evilgrin:

[LaurenG]

28. Well I wish someone would steal my thong

all of them for that matter. :0

I'd rather go without then wear a thong. :hi:

31. Hi, OB.

Nice to see you, too.

But seriously—is RL a dirty thunder-stealer or what?

[LaurenG]

32. BI - I've seen his butt picture

and he owns a bookstore, however I love you so it's really hard to take a stand here. :hug: :7

[rug]

21. Poetry Fight!

24. YOUR thunder??? Are you that girl ...

from Nantucket?

Inspiration of every great American poem of the last century?

:rofl:

[BlueIris]

25. For those who are still wondering, I was mostly joking when I posted this.

Mostly.

[AnneD]

26. Watch out for....

the Hiku hitman. They will make you sing sonnets before they are done with you.

[RetroLounge]

27. Well, *I* knew that...

mostly...
