The collective wisdom of DUer Loungers
Now that you are over General Discussion: Presidential and General Discussion and on the brink of being institutionalized, what succinct piece of wisdom would you offer to visitors to the Lounge:

On life, love, money...anything.

I think I speak for veteran loungers when I say:

1. Don't tutch the but.
2. A Brazilian of anything is not as much as it sounds like.
3. Lots of DU'ers are not female.
4. The nicest thing we ever had was "Ghost Kicking"
5. We just can't have nice things.

Over to you...

13. I had to go find it...
Edited on Sat Jan-03-09 10:57 AM by Chan790
but I found it. The but tutcher asking for fiberglass insulation for Christmas. "Me" in the following excerpt is mcctatas.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8280293

Me: What do you want for Christmas?

but tutcher: Insulation

Me: Um, you mean like fiber glass insulation?

he: Yes, the pink kind

Me: Sweetie, I'm pretty sure that isn't a safe present and I think it can make you all itchy, can you think of something else you might like?

he: Yes, I want fifty bucks

Me: What will you buy with your fifty bucks?

he: My own insulation!

7. If you're ever in New York
don't forget to breastfeed at the Olive Garden, while frying chicken and smoking if possible.

10. The words love and spam do not belong in the same sentence.

14. On raising kids
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room...

5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh', it's already too late.

8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old boy.

11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12.) Super glue is forever.

13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15.) VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20.) The fire department in Austin , TX has a 5-minute response time.

21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy..

23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24.) 80% of women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

25.) 80% of men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

17. Even with significant Lounge support, it's still tough for a DUer to get elected president
Or even get one vote for that matter.
