Watch Barack Obama Joke About Black People Being Late

1. I don't know how to K&R

Sorry.

[Surya Gayatri]

2. Just click on the link and then "Reply to thread" over there. Just a K & R will do.

Hi Bad Dog! How's London-town?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017355639#top

Oh, wait, you're in Southhampton or another south coast town, no?

[Bad Dog]

3. I have posted a reply, I didn't realise that also recommended it.

I've not been to London this year. It's a beautiful sunny day in Southampton. I've pegged some jumpers out on the line.

4. To "Recommend", you have to click in the rectangle on the bottom left-hand side of the post where it

says "DU REC".

It's gorgeous here in Paris, as well. One of those special, rare Paris spring days. Chestnuts are blossoming all over.

[Bad Dog]

9. Thank you.

I'll give it a go.

[Surya Gayatri]

11. Welcome. ;)

[Bad Dog]

12. You're not the first person I asked.

You are the first to dumb it down enough so I could understand it.

[Surya Gayatri]

14. My specialty! Didn't teach English to the French for 30 years for nothing. LOL!

It's actually a very useful talent.

[Bad Dog]

17. Do you use Monty Python?

Serious question. I remember hearing a radio programme in which Python sketches were being used to engage the French.

[Surya Gayatri]

18. In small doses--just for comic relief occasionally.

So much of it went over their heads that the struggle usually wasn't worth it.

I remember they did enjoy the French castle scene in "Holy Grail", even though they didn't catch a lot.

I had to translate most of it into French to get the funny across.


"I fart in your general direction..."

"Je pète dans votre direction générale"

20. I suppose some of our comedy is more accessible than other parts.

[Surya Gayatri]

21. OMG! Bwaahaaa! "Their wine is made of the peepee of cows..."

"With respect, my emperor, we ARE whimpsies...(?) And we invented the tapestry, the soufflé and the sweet liqueur...We will be slaughtered the minute we mince up the hill..."

"Lovely uniform by the way...
Thank you, I think it works..."

Thanks for that!

[Bad Dog]

22. My favourite is Rik Mayall as the French priest.

5. It doesn't Rec it, Bad Dog.. I want to teach you how to Rec threads in case you

ever want to recommend one.. like that one.

Go to the bottom left hand corner of the Message Text and there's a "DURec" button there to click on.. that ups the count of the RECS.

[LAS14]

13. Also, to add to what Cha said,

I didn't absorb this until I'd been here a while. Five recs will make the post show up in the "Greatest Threads" section. The more recs, the higher it will show up in the list. It goes away from that list after 24 hours. So if you're doing Hillary only business (like this thread), don't rec it (although it's fine to rec the GDP post that OP requested recs for). Replies that hit milestones (25, 50, 75, 100) will get bumped up to the top in Latest Threads.

[Bad Dog]

15. Thanks

It helps to know how things work.

Btw, as an Englishman I'm strictly neutral on the Sanders/Clinton nomination. However, I have found that Clinton supporters are a lot nicer and a lot less aggressive than some in the Sanders camp.

6. you touch a nerve with one of the berniebro's

[Surya Gayatri]

8. She was fit to be tied--nearly certifiable...LOL!

They're becoming increasingly unhinged as this god-awful primary season advances.

[LAS14]

7. Done. Thanks for the heads up. And a warning...

... to others. Don't bother to start reading the interchange with Merrily, it goes on and on and on and on...

[Surya Gayatri]

10. Wasn't that astonishing? You have to give her props for sheer perseverance.

Totally deaf and blind to the send up, though.

[LAS14]

16. If we get 8 more replies to the link in the OP...

... I believe this worthy video will pop to the top in "Latest Threads." And every rec will bump it up a little in "Greatest Threads."

[Surya Gayatri]

19. Well, go for it...I'm just about posted out for today.

I'll go kick it one last time, but then the ball's in you-all's court! LOL!
