I think DU reached its goal for donations early because of W's taxcuts.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

What do you think?

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[laheina]

1. I don't make enough to get his tax cuts. :) nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Pass me some popcorn

That is great bait! :yourock:

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

8. How you doing?

:rofl: :rofl: :popcorn:

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Just peachy, thanks for asking

:popcorn: :rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

15. Great! We might as well sit back until Mods move the thread. Great seats.

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. Sure are. Thanks for saving me a seat!

[AX10]

3. It's a good thing you have a high post count.

Otherwise, some may take you as being a "troll".

With that said, DU's record fundraising has to do with new found energy the Democrats have gotten from Bush's stumbling.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

6. I posted it in the wrong Forum.

:popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

4. OOPS wrong Forum. Mods please move to the Lounge!!

:popcorn:

[Rainscents]

5. Ummmmmmmmm...

I will join you in pop corn feast! :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

7. It was supposed to go into The Lounge.

:rofl: :popcorn:

[Bucky]

9. Have you thought of any other forums this might go in?

[leftstreet]

10. sure

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

12. I did.

:rofl: :hide: :applause: :popcorn:

[leftstreet]

16. You could actually make a reasonable argument for it

"Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy elite have driven many people to Democratic message forums."

Discuss.

:popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

18. Great point!! Whew! Thanks bud.

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[leftstreet]

19. No problem.

BUSH'S TAX CUTS ARE BRINGING WE, THE PEOPLE TO DU!

;)

[dweller]

11. yeah, that and

the free popcorn.


:popcorn:

[SammyWinstonJack]

134. Popcorn is about all I can afford thanks to Pinhead**'s

booming economy :silly: Heck save for his base, the haves and have mores. most Americans are probably having a hard time buying sand at the beach.

[dweller]

157. heck, as far as i'm concerned for their ilk

they can have it all. I hope they choke on it while they are still here and accumulating it all. May they be buried in the avalanche of sand and popcorn deluge. They can't carry it into their version of heaven with their shorts twisted so tight, it will be hell parting with it when their time comes.

To the rest of us, i wish the most simplest blessing of peace and goodness, and that we have our needs met, we meet and share and find abundance in our every touch, a cornucopia of Earth's righteous effuvlia washing over and carrying us through these darkest hours. From this dark season into one of light and goodness, prosperity and well deserved Peace.

and to you, extra butter. :)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Trickle down economics at its best

I just posted for the free popcorn. :popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

17. Hey I just lit up a cigar. How are you doing?

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

20. Cigar's and popcorn

You sure know how to live. :D

:smoke: :popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

21. I've got some Single Malt Scotch too. You want some?

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. May as well

Just to prove how we're living the high life now thanks to the tax cuts.

:popcorn: :smoke: :beer:

[Moochy]

89. is that butter trickling down on us?

Yum I think... :popcorn: well it's yellow at least.

[kineneb]

22. No way. We are so poor, that we get a refund.

I just did the taxes...after standard deduction and personal exemptions, we came out with a negative number. Tomorrow I send out the forms so we can get our small refund. Tax cuts, my ass.

[entanglement]

24. CG you evil,evil thang!

:spank: :evilgrin:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

25. I'm waiting for the wonderful Mods to move it to The Lounge. I made a

boo boo.

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[XemaSab]

26. I got my 35 bucks back

I paid a 20% rate last year, but hey, 35 bucks is 35 bucks, and it went straight to DU.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

27. I do have to say that now that I have my own business I can't believe the

write-offs I get.

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[cynatnite]

46. Hubby just became an owner operator...

the accountant we hired went into great detail about the write-offs and other tax breaks.

It was surreal.

:popcorn: I'm on a diet. No butter or salt.

[Nutmegger]

28. Ummmmmmmm

I just came in for some popcorn. :popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

29. How are you?

:popcorn:

[Nutmegger]

30. Ah, not bad. Thanks.

How about you?

Edit: :popcorn::popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

39. Not bad. IT has been hot and cold to the extreme recently.

I have some client base so it's not bad it's more the picking up of new clients that is slow.

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[Nutmegger]

44. The weather has been odd

We started this week with a huge blizzard. Today it was in the 50's and most of the snow is practically gone!

:popcorn::popcorn:

[txindy]

117. It was in the 80s here yesterday. Today we'll be lucky to hit 1/2 of that

Weirdest up-and-down weather, ever.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. CG has cigars (they tasted Cuban) and single malt scotch

To go with that :popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

36. I know someone with a diplomatic passport who is *legally* allowed

to bring back in two boxes.

:popcorn:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

38. I knew they were Cuban

I bet they have connections with Fidel. :popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

40. No way. Actually you can get them relatively cheap there.

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

42. Yep

They are reasonable there. They're only expensive here cause we can't get 'em. :popcorn:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Thank you, my dear Crazy.....

For making it possible for me to post in GD!

It is most unusual for me......

:rofl: :rofl:

[Nutmegger]

35. Hi CaliforniaPeggy!

How are you doing today?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear Nutmegger!

I am doing well today! It feels very strange to be outside the Lounge...

I rarely venture out.....the Lounge is really my home!

How are you?

:pals:

[Nutmegger]

43. It's good to see you here!

I'm doing okay, thanks!

Enjoying your stay?

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Of course I am.......

When people are being as nice as you .........:blush:

[SofaKingLiberal]

33. Ah, what would the world be without....

:popcorn: ?

[TalkingDog]

142. Hey! It's the Butt-Fugly Dog from the Fortean Times article....

Can you believe that's what it really looked like?

Love that mag.

[On the Road]

34. I Thought We Were All

taking home equity loans to afford a donation.

[wildhorses]

47. you do realize that because of you

I have finally responded to a GD post???




I just love saying that...you know


GD post...as in...well...you know taking the Lord's name in vain and all that jazz...

[FuzzySlippers]

49. WTF is this doing in here???

:rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

51. I made a boo boo.

:rofl: :rofl: :popcorn:

[FuzzySlippers]

54. I know that, but why haven't the mods moved it?

Surely they don't consider it a serious GD topic.

:rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

55. I don't know either ...........

:rofl: :rofl: :popcorn:

[entanglement]

59. It has 9 recommendations and it's on the Greatest Threads page!

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[entanglement]

61. No, eleven!

:rofl:

[FuzzySlippers]

63. Maybe when the mods sober up, they'll move it.

:D

[RobertSeattle]

52. I like your meme though

When you talk to a Freeper, tell them you "invested" 100% of your tax cuts from W into progressive. anti-Bush causes - watch head explode.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

53. Good point I'll remember that.

:popcorn:

[NMMNG]

56. I think all of that popcorn has rotted your brain

:crazy:

[Singular73]

57. Im going on an extra vacation this year because of his tax cuts

Meanwhile, the family down the street starves.

Aint that wonderful.

[Kurovski]

58. I think so many people are staying drunk and stoned in the Bush era

as a coping mechanism that they're more prone to make impulse purchases.

The hearts were an irresistible come-on.

I'll have to sell my Maserati on Craig's List just to pay off the hearts I bought in two hours.

Of course it's also possible that the recent DU upgrades included elements of mind control within the code. Isn't it?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

77. Drunk? Me? you must be thinking of someone else...

Stoned? Me? not since my guy got busted... I mean.. ummm

I am NOT a DU bot!! how dare you insinuate such a thing! I'm outraged! really!!

[Kurovski]

80. Alright, alright, pull over.

Let's see your liscence...

[Kurovski]

82. *ERP* I mean "licence"

[Viva_La_Revolution]

Maybe you'll get one a them liberal free-love-pinko-cat-lovers.

[Hissyspit]

62. Donald Rumsfeld is giving George W. Bush his daily briefing.

"Sir, Crazy Guggenheim's thread has 11 Brazilian recommendations."

...ah, I can't do it.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

64. This thread will go down in the annals of The Lounge!

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[Kurovski]

69. And to think it started as a mistake!

Hey, CG. :hi:

Seeing you on the greatest page made me smile. A real treat on a night when we could use one.

[Hissyspit]

78. I have three threads on the Greatest Page and he has passed them all...

I am humbled.

[txindy]

79. It's the magic of the tax cuts. Trickle, trickle, trickle.

86. Remember the recent poll on flirting in the lounge?

It was mentioned that it IS possible to flirt in GD, so now's your chance folks.

[FuzzySlippers]

90. So......ummm......uh......

[Kurovski]

91. I said flirting...not online sex.

:eyes:

(A zebra print thong and cowboy boots)

Edit: I purchased them with my tax cut.

[FuzzySlippers]

92. Ummm.....uhhh.....errrr.....

I really suck at this. :shrug:

[Kurovski]

93. that's okay baby.

the more you do it the better it gets.

I like your eyes. enormous and dark, like gleaming orbs of deep understanding. those arms are kinda skinny, though.

[FuzzySlippers]

95. And I like your rippling abs.

Too bad about the knock knees, though.

[Kurovski]

98. They're not rippling, they're twitching in a frenzy of attraction,

tender friendship turned to tender passion.

[FuzzySlippers]

101. Dayum....you're good at this!

You must do this a lot, huh? A regular cyber Don Juan.

:popcorn:

[Kurovski]

103. Ya like that?

I like it when ya like it.

105. Yes, I like. But now I'm going to bed.

Nighty night, studmuffin.

[Kurovski]

107. Sweet dreams, sugar-button.

[Kurovski]

94. I love it when you laugh, it's like a big warm hello to my heart.

Laugh for me again.

Ahhh, is there anything better?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

100. You perverts. Well that's one way to get this thread up to 100.

Awwww, alright...put'em up against the windshield and ya can head home to felix and yer punk kids.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

They are punks too! One was suspended for ditching french class, and the other's best friend SERIOUSLY needs a haircut. I threatened to get out the buzzers, and now he doesn't wanna come over any more. :( waz up with that? :shrug:

[Kurovski]

112. His reaction is not surprising.

You threatened him with follicular homicide.

And ditching french class is a patriotic duty.

120. txindy, I bet if Bush ever saw you he'd start taxing appearance,

'cuz baby, you look like a brazillion bucks.

Come to GD often?

[txindy]

121. Only when smooth-talkers like you are around. A brazillion bucks?

Venezu-eva going to learn that such flattery turns heads?

[Kurovski]

123. Smooth talker? And here I thought I was slicing ripe cheese.

A brazillion. You know...more than a kajillion but less than ixty-billion.

I think it's a freep/bush monetary measure.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

119. I can't believe it!! It started out as mispost in GD. I should have posted

it to the Lounge. :rofl: :popcorn:

[LaurenG]

[American liberal]

155. me neither. Actually, my donation went on a credit card that is

almost maxed out. Tax cuts, shmax cuts. I WISH! Hell, I read on another thread that in order to keep the deficit in the trillions, rather than jumping to the gazillions, their gonna reduce our personal exemptions over the next few years until they're zeroed out! MFers.
