Question for you Loungers:

[LibraLiz1973]

Poll question: Question for you Loungers:

What does one have to do to be spoken to around these parts?
I notice that if I post in General Discussion I normally will see responses. Here it is quite the opposite. Almost no one ever says a word to me. (I say almost no one but it may actually BE no one). Anyway, I enjoy reading the posts around here~ some are very funny!~ but it's crossed my mind that I might smell or something?!?!?!?

[Misunderestimator]

1. I would venture to guess that ...

people in GD have seen your posts and know you already, but you haven't posted much here. I post in both places, and I'll admit that I haven't seen you before, so... Welcome to DU! :toast:

[Longgrain]

2. I'm still trying to figure that one out myself.

For me, I think it might be my feet.

[LibraLiz1973]

5. Are they webbed?

:hi:

[Longgrain]

10. No, I just have a bad case of athlete's foot...

I do have a tail however.

[LibraLiz1973]

12. Like the guy in Shallow Hal?

Cute!

[Longgrain]

18. I'm actually a transphoto genetic mutation of man and animal...

You can call me MANIMAL

[LibraLiz1973]

23. And I want

and I need
and I love
Manimal!



Def Leppard could have rocked harder with those lyrics

[Longgrain]

30. LOL

:rofl:

Could have made a cool video too.

[JimmyJazz]

3. I honestly have never seen you post in the lounge before this poll.

Keep posting - you'll get responses. I suppose a breath mint wouldn't hurt, though... :P

[LibraLiz1973]

6. The question is..

Tic Tac Certs or Breathsavers?

[JimmyJazz]

15. The one calorie breath mint, of course -- and will you pass them

over to matcom when you are finished - he considers himself to be some sort of kissing bandit :)

[LibraLiz1973]

21. Wait, there is a kissing bandit?

I'll have to double up on Tic Tacs. Helps to be minty fresh!

4. Hi Liz

[LibraLiz1973]

25. Thanks BigMcLargeHuge!!

:hi:

[sparky_in_ma]

7. I'm not in GD much

and don't hang out in the lounge a lot, so I must admit to not seeing you post before. (usually in 2004 ERD)

I don't think you smell.:hug:

[LibraLiz1973]

31. Thanks for the hug Sparky!

:toast:

[Huckebein the Raven]

8. Hello Liz

:hi:

Welcome to the Lounge.

[LibraLiz1973]

29. Hi Dark Leftist

I love your graphic!

[Huckebein the Raven]

35. Thanks

Jubei is cool ( that's his name. )

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. I've never seen you here before.

So, Hi, Liz!

Welcome to DU! :D:hi::toast:

And, who IS Al Hedges?


:hi:

[Left Is Write]

11. Hey, I have almost 7000 posts and I've never had a response.

Okay, that's a lie.

Welcome to DU LibraLiz! :hi:

[LibraLiz1973]

14. ROFLMAO

for a second there you had me! I was pondering how after 7,000 posts no one would have answered you by now!


:rofl:

[MrScorpio]

13. Welcome to the Lounge, Hunny Bun

You're with the cool kids now

[LibraLiz1973]

17. Good to know.

I was hoping I didn't have to go through "Rush" week.
I'm no good at scavenger hunts!


:silly:

[Floogeldy]

16. Are you, like, hot?

Pic?

}(

[baldguy]

19. Post an "I'm _________, ask me anything" post

[RetroLounge]

20. Put Sundog in your Sig Line

and your in like Flynn...

RL

[Longgrain]

24. Better yet be yourself, and don't post sundog

post something personal and important to you in your sig instead.

[RetroLounge]

38. Hey, are you saying Sundog is not Impotent?

:hi:

RL

[JimmyJazz]

40. No - he saying he doesn't know a joke when he sees one!

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

44. .

:rofl:

RL

[Longgrain]

41. Impotent, eh?

They should have me in there sig line instead...

I'm still very vital.

[RetroLounge]

45. I heard that all the way from Boston...

Longgrain == Stud

at least that's what I heard...

RL

[Longgrain]

48. From who, everyone wasn't supposed to tell...

:hide:

[RetroLounge]

50. What happens in Boston goes everywhere!

[warrens]

22. You can eat lunch over here at the geek table

Evidently you have to tongue kiss some repellant drunk to score cool points here. Snicker.

[DS1]

26. Getting a thread locked is the lounge equivalent of discovering

Warp Drive. After that, people will see your trails.

[zippy890]

27. Its a bit cliquey here I noticed

Cliquey like in a clique. some people talk to each other in code, it seems like that to me anyway, I don't know what people are talking about half the time.
Sometimes the threads are going up so fast and furious and no-one is responding.
Like the phrase 'everybody's talking and nobody's listening'.

Anyway, Hi! I'm responding to you - Do you want to form an Anti-clique? we could call it a claque. A Lounge for people with under 1000 posts.

:hi:

[Misunderestimator]

33. Ar vemqulie mut gringe od ar dim puuten?

[LibraLiz1973]

34. So a Clique Claque?

I didn't get the impression that it was "clicky".
Just that I wasn't posting anything interesting enough to respond to.
Of course I was stunned after my stripping in Sweden pix went un-noticed....

[sparky_in_ma]

36. *ears perk up*

That post must have been deleted, I never miss a stripping in Sweden pix.:evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

37. What...? Link please? Stripping in Sweden?

[zippy890]

42. more like a Claquey Clique

Stripping in Sweden?

Vorjsten haafensteffenson ob syun dawg

[sparky_in_ma]

39. I bought the de-coder ring this weekend

May I join your claque? I'll let you use the ring.:bounce:

[JimmyJazz]

47. I hope you don't really believe all that! Yes, we have our inside

jokes, but stick around for a bit and you'll have a few of your own. I've only been here since September and I feel right at home here in the lounge. I suppose if you wanted to form your own "clique" you could, but why bother?

:hi:

[DrZeeLit]

32. Post a famous "I'm a ----- Ask Me Anything!" thread and then....

...you'll fit right in like a wedge o' stinky cheese.

[iconoclastic cat]

43. Salutations

:headbang:

[frictionlessO]

46. I voted the Liz/1973 option but only because of 1973

seems like growing up all the kids that would tattle on me were born in 73 or 74.

Love the name anyways though, these lizards think you cant see them if they dont answer you.

I just started coming back here after increasing the thickness of my hide in other various and sundry parts of DU for the last several months and only two of my old friends have deigned to talk to me.


...but I really do smell kind of funky.

[WMliberal]

49. take a side in the coup

You're either a Zuniite or a Matcomist. You can't have it both ways, bub

[LibraLiz1973]

54. I could eenie meenie minee moe for it

or just flip a two headed quarter...

[ProfessorGAC]

51. Other: Patience Grasshopper

You've only had a few hundred posts, so you probably have only a little screenname recognition. Once people see the screenname and are used to seeing it, things seem to change quickly.

[hippiepunk]

52. Jeebuz

looks like you got enough responses now.

[donheld]

53. I think we all feel ignored sometimes

We do come around


:hi: Liz

[imenja]

55. Find something irresistibly funny to post

Some people post nothing, literally empty threads, and gets lots of responses from their friends. I find that some of my posts get responded to and others don't, but I take that as a reflection on their content. So find some funny links or stories, the kind of mindless lounge fair that people enjoy. That would be my suggestion.

[lpbk2713]

56. Hiya Liz.... And pleased to meetcha.

I stopped going to GD/GD-P after Novemeber. Way too many anal-retentive type "A"'s there. I'll be looking for your posts more often here in the Lounge.
