Damn. Ugly 'round these parts today.

Wear a cup.

[House of Roberts]

1. No true Scotsman

wears a cup.

(Sorry, couldn't resist that one!)

[mac56]

3. Ach, laddie, ye caught me!

[Paulie]

22. I though the sporran carried armor in case of

golf balls...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

29. och noo!

[hootinholler]

2. The HillBullies are out in force this holiday weekend. n/t

[Jester Messiah]

12. No holiday for the shills?

Man, they should unionize!

[mmonk]

4. When I left mine off when playing football,

I ended up in surgery later. Good advice since it's worse here than when I played football. For females, a bullet proof jacket should suffice. The monied are angry and won't tolerate insolence.

[CentralMass]

5. +1

[merrily]

6. Cups don't do women much good, but I get the metaphor.

[mac56]

7. I thought of that just after I posted this.

Please feel free to substitute whatever protective gear is most appropriate.

[merrily]

8. No equivalent for females.

[JudyM]

11. Actually for fencing we wear breast protection. Little known fact :)

[dae]

14. Well I learned something new today, thanks.

And great use of emoji.

[merrily]

18. Cool. I actually took a really basic fencing class after work, but

work needs forced me to drop out before I learned about boob cups or other gear. At that point, we were only learning lunges.

I don't see boob cups as the equivalent of reproductive area protection, though.

[JudyM]

19. Not the same but similar... it can hurt pretty badly without them, especially in competition :)

[pmorlan1]

33. Yes it does

I used to fence when I was in high school. Despite the padding it smarts when it hits just right.

[JudyM]

36. And all those little bruises... battle wounds.

[JonathanRackham]

34. My wife wears leather gloves when fencing.

Pressure treated lumber is rough on the hands.

[JudyM]

35. Ha, right, as is chicken wire.

[Hiraeth]

9. I must have the right people on ignore.

[dae]

13. Lol...

[Hiraeth]

15. Hello

[dae]

16. Hello and greetings...

[alfie]

10. Uglier than usual, for sure

I'm glad they don't need our votes because they are doing everything they can to piss us off.

[dana_b]

17. I got my first hide!! Been on/off DU since 2003

and this was my first.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=204109

Truth hurts, I guess!

[shanti]

20. why the hell

are ANY posts in OUR private bernie group hidden? this is supposed to be a safe place to voice our opinions!

thank dog for JPR!

[winter is coming]

21. I think some of the faithful spend more time reading this group than their own. n/t

[Duval]

24. Amen to that last line!

[mvd]

23. Unbelievable. Alerts here should go the group hosts IMO

Would prevent Hillary supporters from trying to alert posts down here. Only the worst in groups should be hidden. Your comment was fine!

[QC]

25. We do get the SOP alerts, and plenty of them.

Some of the usual suspects hump that alert button like a jackrabbit on prom night.

[mvd]

26. I wish you could decide all the ones sent here

It would help with the over alerting and trying to make this not a safe haven.

[QC]

27. I would love to post them all.

It would lead to lots of hides and drama, though, especially since the jury pool now consists mostly of hillbullies.

[LovingA2andMI]

43. Say That Again....

The mess that is sliding on Juries as of late, will start to make our time here shorter and shorter. Bordering on just plain --- or just see for yourself....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027868548

[QC]

44. Geez. n/t

[LovingA2andMI]

45. Yeah, that mess...

Survived a jury. On DU. What does that say about DU? Or better yet all the recent "new lifelines" for lack of two better words.

[QC]

46. Some people get one lifeline after another

and some are summarily banned.

All animals are equal but some are better than others.

[LiberalElite]

47. I'm

No. 198 to be kicked out of the HRH HRC group - but there's no telling how long the list is of "Bernie Bros" no longer deemed fit for jury duty - I'm on that list too.

[jillan]

28. I saw that! Wtf was that hide for? You were stating facts. Well you know what they say....

[dana_b]

38. I know, right?

evidently I should list all the wars that she supported, actions she ordered taken as SOS that ended up killing people. I really thought that they were obvious and that I didn't need to list them all, but now I know.

I also know it's the luck of the draw with juries. If you get predominantly Clinton people, you're screwed.

[jillan]

30. These might come in handy

[Rosa Luxemburg]

31. at least a hard hat

[deathrind]

32. True.

[malokvale77]

37. They can keep striking...

at the balls of "berniebros" all they want. That just makes old women like me more determined to hit them back.

[dana_b]

39. yay for us old women!!

the "bros" that we are.

[malokvale77]

41. Indeed

Why can't this old (slightly less old than Hillary) woman get behind Hillary?

Maybe because I can't get aboard the ship that will send my and my communities grandchildren into wars that will do nothing more than make Hillary and her cronies a ton of money.

Old grannyberniebro here.

[TimPlo]

40. I just had my first Hide

Because I tool the title of the thread and made a post where all I changed was words for Clinton to Sanders. Same quote. And OP was sent to jury and it passed. Can tell who the ostriches are on this website.

[malokvale77]

42. The ostriches are easy to spot.

They all support Hillary Clinton, never mind that she is ripping the Democratic Party apart.

I'm sorry they did that to you. I'm sorry that Skinner has allowed them to do that.
