I double-dirty-dare ya: List and explain all DU Lounge in-jokes and catchphrases

[Bossy Monkey]

One at a time will do. Start with the duck, because I missed that.

[LynneSin]

1. Olive Garden - because a DUer was in Time Squares and decided to have dinner there

:D

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. No no.

Because somebody was flying to NY and wanted restaurant recommendations, and somebody recommended Olive Garden.

That person, of course, was Radiolady. Who wrote a book of DU lounge in-jokes.

Unwittingly

[cwydro]

7. Yeah, what was the song

she burst into because of tacos or some such???

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. Tamales

[cwydro]

16. Oh yeah.

Shame on me.

I kind of miss ole radiolady; she was always good for a laugh.

[Bossy Monkey]

19. I think Olive Garden and Red Lobster were the targets of 2 minutes hates here

for as long as I've been on DU (Jan.'03) because Darden is such a shiny red company. I think the big breakout Hate Olive Garden thread may have really been somebody posting about breast-feeding at Olive Garden, though memory draws a merciful curtain and I may be confabulating (and if that wasn't a word previously, it is now; spellcheck likes it, though, and spellcheck even hates "spellcheck"). I'm even less clear whether the cornflakes on fried chicken brouhaha had anything to do with OG; I think I may have missed that one even at the time.

Edit: so anal-retentive, I checked my Orwell.:)

3. listing is easier than explaining.

I'm not sure most have a rational explanation to give.

:D

[Bucky]

12. mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them

[mainegreen]

13. Exactly.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. Chuggo--a really shitty Canadian rapper who loves mayonaise

[cwydro]

5. Pev.

I think LostInVa started that one, with a simple misspelling...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. She was typing one-handed while eating yogurt

[cwydro]

14. I just KNEW that

there was a back story.

[RandomThoughts]

6. My view of the duck is different then others probably.

But for me it comes from 'in the club with the rubber duck"
Gray warriors picture of Duck with Duck tape. (To remember, But I believe the duck is free.)
'Convoy' CW McCall version.


And the story by Annie Frank the story of the quack quack quack of the duck
Although the interpretation of who the Black Swan, and Mrs Quackenbush might be different for me then others.

:cry: :hug:

[Jamastiene]

8. I'm always nekkid.

Or damn near nekkid. That much is fact.

[RandomThoughts]

15. I am clothed in whatever garb my Lord and God sees fit.

And I give glory to him always, through his son Jesus Christ.

[liberaltrucker]

23. "Naked is when you plan it......

Nekkid is when you get caught". Paraphrase from Lewis Grizzard, the late, great
Atlanta Journal-Constitution humor columnist.

[Bucky]

11. Could someone explain this whole "If X were cheese would you eat it?" thing

I'm just kidding. I do not want to know.

[cwydro]

17. I missed that too.

And like you, I do not want to know.

[HopeHoops]

18. I'm responsible for the "cheese sandwich" thing.

I posted a link to a serious news article about a school district refusing hot lunches to kids who can't afford to keep up with the meal costs. All they would give them is a cheese sandwich. It sort of joined narwhals and breast feeding at the Olive Garden after that.
