[zappaman]

96. Damn I was hoping your name

Was short for Kool Moe Dee.

[hrmjustin]

8. You all can always call me plain Justin.

[Rex]

11. Well hello plain Justin!

I keeedd! Thinking about it, this is the first forum I've ever posted on with my first name.

[hrmjustin]

16. And a DU treasure you are my friend.

[Rex]

29. Thank you! What does hrm stand for?

Anything to do with Houston?

You're a good man justin.

[hrmjustin]

33. His Royal Majesty.

When i joined in 2001 I was hrhjustin.

I lost the password and decided not to rejoin until 2012. But about 9 or 10 months after a stsrted this account I found my old password.

I decided to keep this account because I was already making friends here.

[Rex]

43. Ha that is too cool!

Dam then you've been around from the start! Awesome. Not often two kings meet on the intertubes!

[hrmjustin]

51. I saw one of the admins carry a sign during the 2001 inauguration protest advertising DU.

I posted just a small amount on my first account. After I lost my password in 2005 I judt decided to read and felt I would find the password. I read on and off through the years. A lot of the names were different back then. Some changed their names when they were allowed.

the place did change throught the years.

[Rex]

58. I forgot about the name change period.

I thought about changing it to TRex.

Ummm...not to change the subject, but about Discussionist...if anyone is over there they probably have guessed my name by now.

http://www.discussionist.com/1015381291

[hrmjustin]

69. You can always start a new account if you ask the admins I think on di.

I stopped posting there. To rw and full of bigots.

[Rex]

75. Nah it's all good. If the primary gets really bad here

I'll go over there and mess with the pukers for a few months. I don't want to watch good people that I like kill each other verbally for a year on DU.

[hrmjustin]

78. Now that is an idea.

Screw with the neanderthals.

The main problem now is that the pkace is infested with bigots and i just can't keep my cool with them. So I just don't bother going there.

[Rex]

82. I hear that.

I was half surprised my poll didn't get a hide. I might just go full campaign mode over there and try to clean the place up...or get kicked off.

Whichever comes first.

[hrmjustin]

86. Lol. just be careful of the resident trolls.

[Rex]

90. They all seem to be light weights. Like all the dullards we had here during the Zimmerman trial.

But yeah I see the jury system over there is as fickle as it is here. It would be nice to get rid of them and see Discussionist turn into a modest forum.

[hrmjustin]

99. Not anytime soon I am afraid.

[Rex]

110. Too true.

[William769]

53. You do realize my last name don't you?

[sheshe2]

74. We three Kings....

i bow to the royalty here. You. Justin. Rex.



Luv ya all~

[William769]

77. Well some might say two kings and a queen!!

[sheshe2]

79. 2 kings and a queen~

Would that hand win me anything in a poker game.

[William769]

84. Well it beats a pair of jacks, so if all hands are bad you could win.

Although you got to keep an eye on that queen.

[sheshe2]

94. Queens rule!

Long live the Queens~

[Rex]

80. The two wise kings...and Rex.

Who knew that 'my kingdom for a horse!" could be considered a verbal agreement!? I wasn't even looking at the guy!

[sheshe2]

89. Well....

I know you won't believe this. We had a horse called Rex. He was a fierce son of a gun, he bite you if he was mad. Dawgs honest truth.

[Rex]

93. I believe you. I learned that in south Texas the next thing most named Rex besides a dog is a horse.

You are not the first person to tell me that.

[KMOD]

23. Hi plain Justin, Hi Rex

[hrmjustin]

27. Hey!

[Rex]

31. Nice to meet you Karen!

So I guess we might know what the K stands for now.

[KMOD]

57. Yep,

now you just have to work on the MOD.

[William769]

14. There is noting plain about you my friend.

[hrmjustin]

19. You are very kind my friend.

It is always a pleasure to host and mirt with you.

[Rex]

22. I second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth

that comment!

[sheshe2]

54. I always call you Justin.

[hrmjustin]

56. Another great one!

[Rex]

9. Nobody will ever guess my real name!

I hid it somewhere in my username.

[pinboy3niner]

12. Erx?

[Rex]

17. Close! Xer

Mom wanted to name me Xerxes and they've never even been to Persia. Or have a time machine! That I know of...

Hmmm....

[Luminous Animal]

20. Hahahaha!

[William769]

26. I have seen you as T-Rex in a couple of threads.

[Rex]

41. My cousin's kids love calling me T-rex, they are all between the ages of 3 and 8

So I make sure to buy them Trex toys for B-Days and Christmas. Good to see you in this thread Bill.

[William769]

52. Cool story.

I try to pop in where I can.

[blue neen]

10. Sam.

Sam I am.

[pinboy3niner]

15. Indeed you are...

/revision/latest?cb=20120523053951

[blue neen]

21. I love it.

When our son was little he used to make up his own lines like, "Would you, could you in the coal car."

[pinboy3niner]

32. We had some fun when Ted Cruz read Doctor Seuss in his filibuster

[blue neen]

34. That's priceless!

A dunce cap would look also look very appropriate sitting on that empty cranium.

[Luminous Animal]

24. Julie here. I wouldn't mind posting my last name but one of the times that I did, someone

accused me of posting a porn name.

[KMOD]

28. Hi Julie!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

97. Heh, nope! That's where I live!

Mary!

[marym625]

100. ya never know

But of course, I was joking. Had you been Arizona Peggy or WindPeggy I might have wondered.

Love your stuff, btw.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

103. Yeah, I know you were joking!

I'm having a lot of fun in this thread.

Thanks! I'm glad you do.

[marym625]

104. It is fun

We need fun. Been a long week these last 2 days

[CaliforniaPeggy]

111. Damn right!

[marym625]

113. Going to bed

Sleep well and have a ton of fun!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

116. I wish you sweet dreams too, my dear Mary!

[marym625]

119. Awe,

Thank you!
You're so sweet.

[Rex]

108. How are you doing Peggy.

I agree it is a fun thread! We needed one badly.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

114. My dear Rex!

Nice to see you tonight!

I've been in a funky mood...my poetry muse is silent, I'm having trouble with my shoulder, my tooth and my foot, and I miss some of my good friends who aren't here...

But this thread has turned around my mood completely. I'm sitting here typing, and smiling at all the friendly exchanges!

Yes, we needed it badly.

[Rex]

120. Sorry you are in a funk, glad this thread lifted your spirits!

You and I both...I miss them too Peggy. We've lost a lot of good people over the years here.

BTW, thanks for the updates on WC Green! I've been meaning to tell you that for a while now! He is lucky to have you as such a good friend and that tells me all I need to know about you. Though I always known you have a big heart for people.

Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

128. Aw, Rex, thank you...

He is my dear friend and we both feel lucky to be friends...

[bravenak]

36. My name starts with b too. Bianca.

[bravenak]

123. Hey!

[sheshe2]

40. Carol here~

[Rex]

46. Nice to meet you Carol.

Nice to know some first names finally! I felt strange using my own when I noticed most people don't.

[sheshe2]

71. actually it's Carol Ann~

I go by my nickname... but Carol Ann is my given name.

Hey Rex

[Rex]

73. Confession. As a kid, that movie scared me so bad that if I was up past 'program hours'

and the National Anthem came on (had a small black and white TV) I would run to turn it off before it finished!

[KMOD]

62. Hi Carol!

[sheshe2]

112. Hey Karen!

[zappaman]

45. Me too!

[KMOD]

91. Hi Zappa!

No, just kidding. It really is Ron.

[Old and In the Way]

48. Bob here....

None of my friends mistake me for Manny, though. I support all Democrats.

[freshwest]

59. Agent Mike here. Thanks for the information!

[KMOD]

76. Hello All

Larry here.

[betsuni]

105. I am Spartacus!

[KMOD]

122. Hi Spartacus.

[freshwest]

124. "No, I'm Spartacus. Have you come to free the slaves or something?"

Interesting enough...

...John F. Kennedy crossed a picket line set up by anti-communist organizers to attend the film...

There was a lot in that film I'd forgotten:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus_%28film%29

An awful lot...

[betsuni]

125. I saw the film for the first time last week!

I thought I'd seen it, but had it mixed up with Ben Hur. Some of the supporting actors gave fantastic performances, I was surprised I got into it as much as I did.

[freshwest]

126. Oh. I saw it as kid on television when it wasn't in theatres anymore.

[Skittles]

115. I am Magill

but I call myself 'Lil

[KMOD]
