DUers Say the Darndest Things™ 10/31/06 "Little Thread of Horrors" edition
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 03:49 AM by dicksteele
That's right, fellow DUers...just when you thought
the "DUers Say the Darndest Things" franchise was
a thing of the past.....


(Caption by 'Lars39')

It seems that even the Repubs are getting in the Halloween
Spirit this year. They've certainly done everything they
could to provide DUers with a plethora of seasonal-caption
photo opportunities.

Now, any good horror show needs to start with something
very ordinary and peaceful. What could be more ordinary
than a nice postcard from a tiny, rural bed-n-breakfast?
And what could be more peaceful than a nice photo of a boy and his mom?

DUer 'two gun sid' answers BOTH those questions with a single caption:



And of course, the rules of "horror" require a bit of
comic relief at the start. And we have been truly BLESSED
this year, with the never-ending comic stylings of a true
GENIUS in the field:
Katherine "I'm-a-real-candidate-HONEST!" Harris:



That Borat fellow's "Creepy foreigner" act has got NOTHING
on our gal Kath's "Candidate" routine!
Thanks to DUer 'npincus' for telling us what she was saying there.

As this next press clipping shows, even bloated, pompous House Speakers
can find the time to get into the spirit of the season:


Ooooh, spooky stuff, Dennis!
(at least according to DUer 'Badgerpup')

Now, we all know that TV and Hollywood are almost as bereft
of ideas as the Repub Party these days, and just seem to keep
remaking the same things over and over.

So it should come as no surprise to find the Repubs doing the same.

'DemItAllAnyway' caught Rummy in the act of plagiarizing
the last film he saw with his original eyes:



And George, having trouble memorizing simple sentences,
prefers to simply scare the tiny children. Very original...NOT.
'itsmesgd' captioned this particular instance:



It seems appropriate that a DUer named 'Julius Civitatus'
should be the one to raise an "age-old" question like this:



Now, of course, the 'rules of HORROR' require that an ENDING
be truly HORRIBLE.
Worse than merely "bad".
The stuff of NIGHTMARES.
The type of mind-twisting, soul-searing image that, once SEEN,
can never be "UN"-seen again.

FAIRLY WARNED be ye, says I...(on behalf of DUer 'NoSheep')































Well, now that that's all behind us, and the thread is safely
over, DUer 'NanceGreggs' has a very seasonal
Public Service Announcement which also serves to remind us that
sometimes truly HORRIBLE things come in small packages.

Packages as small as, say, a talking "Doctor Laura" doll.



And here you thought CHUCKY was scary!

Till next time, DU, sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite.
And TRY not to dream about little black White-house dogs. :evilgrin:


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

5. Couldn't make that shit up if I tried.
It's like someone kept Stephen King awake for
96 hours straight with high-volume RW hate-radio,
and then asked him for toy ideas!

The horror...the horror!

39. It was a good thread. This is a GOOD death. There is no shame in this.
Every thread is BORN; few threads live long enough to truly DIE.

In all my 9,300-odd posts on DU, I have fathered almost TEN
truly GOOD threads. Some recieved astounding numbers of "recs";
some were deleted entirely. At least ONE did both.

But they were all truly GREAT.

And this was one of them.

Halloween was OVER 2 hours and 34 minutes ago.

This is a GOOD death.
This thread did great things.
There is no shame in this.

Sincerely yours,
Richard Steele
