I have no idea who BigJerr is, and am not saying good night... |
|
I feel so out of touch with the lounge tonight.
*scratching head*

2. appears to be some former freep... |

Maybe someone will clue us in. :shrug:

17. but doesn't that describe |
|
half of the threads and copy cat threads in the lounge, if you walke in 30 minutes after they started?
Trying to make sense when there is no context - but there had been context if one had seen the 'front page' of the lounge 20 minutes earlier.... aye yi yi....
THen the explanations, referring to the fifteenth post (and others) on threads that are now on page 8.... How confusing!
Think it more speaks to how many folks there are and how fast threads move - and then when referring/copycat threads remain on page one, when the context/original thread have dropped to page 4... it can be a tad bit confusing.

In this case, the referring threads are legion. :)
Suffice to say (maybe) that said person is a character on another site who also posts (it is believed) here in order to drum up business for said other site. And that is all I know.

Some context... seriously - couldn't figure out the context. Yours is the first post to give some per the BigJerr series of threads. Dare I ask what other site? I did catch "exfreeper... even too conservative for Free Republic"... but still can't figure out much more than that. Frankly, til tonight had never even heard of the name - so the many references early tonight- just felt clueless.

it's supposedly a democratic site, but the spamming over the past months here is a bit tiresome. The "administrator" of the site is apparently a member here, but the person it apparently is claims not to be, so... thus the "I'm not BigJerr" threads and so forth.
The goodnight thing made me feel clueless when I read your post, until I looked on page 2. Explanation of that one is that billyskank always posts a "goodnight" thread. A few weeks ago a few people decided to kick all his goodnight threads to the first page to tease him since he's such a great guy and a good sport. Apparently that happened again tonight, but this time it seems without him present.
And that's the boring truth.

29. the latter, now makes sense |
|
per the goodnight threads. Especially since the most recent kicks were by the same folks over and over again...
But am still clueless per the first. Have completely missed all previous references (to whatever other site is being referred to), but while I am clueless on that - at least I know get the slew of joking 'denials' per being a specific name. Thanks.
Never know what one is going to stumble upon, here in the lounge - esp if ones time for reading/following is limited. But, hey - that is part of what makes the lounge so interesting.

7. oh how seriously riproaring it is |

to read ones' own recent words (also a wee bit tinged with internal references)... ripe with irony.
I hope you know how much I appreciate irony... :thumbsup: :hi:

10. BigJerr hosts DemocraticWarrior.com |
|
is what I've been able to gather. Where they are having the Brazillon joke contest. :hi:
The fascinating things I learn in the Lounge. :-)
I don't get to post much during the day, but I check in from time to time.

When I logged into the lounge there were four or five BigJerr (? still no idea who that is) threads, and some impish duers had kicked a whole lot of old "goodnight" threads to the top of the page. 'Twas an odd moment in the lounge. Then again, being oddballs in the lounge - when are we not creating odd moments?

who BigJerr is. Starting to get some clues... and wouldn't you know it I have to crash soon - so it will be, perhaps for me, a lingering question mark.

Not being able to post during the day has distinct disadvantages when it comes to understanding what the hell is going on 'round here.

26. glad to know there is a sizable, and respectable "clueless" crowd |

frankly, am about to sign out for the night, and still am just about as clueless as I was when I stared the thread.
Btw... :hi:
