What's your biggest gripe about The Lounge?
Mine? It just doesn't seem as funny anymore. When I can get more laughs in an evening from notalwaysright.com than I can from the Lounge, "Oh, that's not right!" :P

23. it could be a bit more edgy, witty and wild
way back when there used to be great pun contests and clever picture stories... remember Screaming Lord Byron? God do I miss him. :cry:



Of course, everyone always loves the way things were when they first came to DU! :hi:

33. Yes, but I have things to say that require directness.
And besides I just prefer being blunt.

If you find him, tell him I said hello and that I miss him. :)

40. i am conflicted about this. i miss when the lounge was more intelligent and interesting
however some of the same people who made it interesting were also assholes. so i am glad the assholery count is lower but miss the wittiness.

44. Inside jokes
Edited on Fri Dec-18-09 02:45 PM by JonLP24
I have no idea what anyone is talking about half the time.

I've learned the corn flakes and chicken as well as Olive Garden. Thanks for the links.

I also don't understand why so many bring up breastfeeding. An example is, 'I breastfed at the Olive Garden.
