Auto is a great writer, patriot, and all-around cool guy.

[xmas74]

30. Thank you.

We've had a couple of fun late night convos on here. I just don't see you as much anymore.

I made my 15 mark last week so we are running close to each other now.

[autorank]

44. You're reminding me of my need to be here in The Lounge, the most

unique collection and conversation on the internet(s);)

Cheers


...on edit: and thank the diety for insomniacs or, as I call us, "night people." After all, if we go to bed too early, we might miss something...:evilgrin:

[xmas74]

59. I wish I had a connection at work.

I'd be here all night,just like I used to be.

[kster]

8. Congrats, Autorank

[autorank]

29. ...being me. It's not easy! (on the people around me;)

Thank you too..."I Bleeve"...classic thread of all time...

One of these days, we'll meet, like this


I'm the guy on the left;)

[Patsy Stone]

10. Proud to be #5

Keep going, we need you. :thumbsup:

[autorank]

31. We need you too. I always enjoy seeing your name and avatar...

...means "the heat is on, in a serious way"...:evilgrin:




Bad boys beware, Patsy Stone
is just a thread away.

[Patsy Stone]

32. LOFL!

:yourock:

Some days it's more like this, though:

[autorank]

45. OMG, how did you know! "NO MORE METAL HANGERS!!!"

I'm floored. This is too much. One of my favorite scenes of all time!!! is at the end of the film when Joan backs down the entire board of directors of Pepsi, "Fellas this isn't my first trip to the rodeo..." Oh to have been there, see those jerks get a picture of what Joan does when here back is to the wall...damn, I'm buying the DVD just for that, and of source, the scene you showed.

:yourock:

[Patsy Stone]

60. Like this?

Or: "When you clean the floor, you have to MOVE the TREE!"
Or: "I'm not mad at YOU. I'm mad ay the DIRT!"
Or: "Tear down that BITCH of a bearing wall and put a window where it OUGHT to be!"

So, so, good. I'll make you happy by telling you on June 6, they're releasing the "Mommie Dearest: Hollywood Royalty Edition". Sit down: with additional commentary by John Waters. :loveya:

[autorank]

65. Stop, I'm going to have a conniption! And one for you...

John Waters commentary. Be still my racing thoughts! I love John Waters. I saw "Pink Flamingos" at the Elgin Theater in NYC when it first came out. If I have to come back again, I'll bid for that role. DUer Heidi and I had a nice exchange on my visit to Pittsburgh to see his one man show last summer (he was amazing, even more intelligent than I'd thought).

The Pepsi Board of Directors tries to stiff Joan but changes its tune quickly

Chairman: We assumed that you would no longer want to be on the board.

Joan: Al and I helped build Pepsi to what it is today. I intend to stay with it.

Chairman: We appreciate your devotion and contribution, Miss Crawford. But we have retired you from the board of directors.

Joan: You drove Al to his grave, and now you're trying to stab me in the back. Forget it!
I fought worse monsters than you in Hollywood. I can win the hard way!

Chairman: We don't want any hard feelings.

Joan: You don't know what hard feelings are until I come out publicly against your product. You'll see how much you sell.

Chairman: It's hardly necessary to make threats you surely don't mean. (Not necessary, a way of life)

Joan: Don't fuck with me, fellas! This ain't my first time at the rodeo. You forget the press
I delivered to Pepsi was my power. I can use it any way I want. It's a sword, cuts both ways.

Chairman: The board has failed to realize the extent of your interest in the company. We......misjudged. We shall be pleased to have you stay on.

Joan: Thank you, gentlemen. Now, let's get to work.

Thus endeth the lesson :rofl:

11. Congrats!

[autorank]

34. Thank you kindly...

:toast: to you too!!!

[Random_Australian]

13. Congrats!

[autorank]

35. Thank you from one of my favorite parts of the globe...

Australia and the font of free speech

From Random_Australian's sig line, too good to miss:

Americans (and British) have different ways of saying things. They say "elevator", we say "lift" ... they say "President", we say "stupid psychopathic git". (Alexis Sayle)

[DemReadingDU]

14. Just WOW, Congrats!

[autorank]

37. I always enjoy it when you show up, that book is just perfect...

15. It's about time!

What the heck took so long, Auto? :D

[autorank]

39. I was too busy doing the daily thread...

I was in Portland having deep discussions into the wee hours of the downtown evening with pals from VoterAction and GregPalast.com. I went to my room, logged on to write a report on the National Summit to Save our Elections, Portland, OR for our NZ benefactors, and what did I see..."Damn," I thought (or said loudly), "I've got to do the daily thread. This Wilms is haunting me...he's psychic."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=395924

So, I delayed my task at hand and worked on the predicate task...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=395929

Good think I was sober...;)


(I've been waiting for the appropriate time to tell this story...:)

[autorank]

17. OMG! What got into me;)

Thank you very much newyawker99 for the great thread. That's only the
second time this month I've seen a purple elephant. Can't remember the first.

Great to be here and thanks to the rest of you. We will prevail.

To all my friends and associates on this last refuge of free expression on
topics that are near and dear to me (this is the only major forum where
you can discuss election fraud) I say, without hesitation,

[autorank]

40. Well, then all righty! I must say, Mrs. Autorank (below) does inspire me;)

Photos I took when we were clubbing with Helen Thomas in
Georgetown after the Colbert speech. She does draw a crowd!

[EFerrari]

47. Hey -- you're supposed to wear those clothes on the inside!

20. If only this thread could get 15000 votes! :^) Autorank you are my DU hero

Watch out though, this is my 633rd post, so I'll be lapping you soon! :LOL:

The very best wishes!

[autorank]

21. Thank you so much...that means a lot. You will be mapping me

by my calculations. The "central office" noted that you were increasing post volume by 40% since this epic post announcing Patriots Day -- January 6, 2005 (aka "the Boxer Rebellion", nearly 200 recs. Given that and my devotion to the venial sin of sloth, I expect you to pass me in 18 months;)

Cheers

[Hissyspit]

26. Post a pic!

[autorank]

33. There are several above...

or, you can pick from one of the six faces below (wouldn't be far off)



...and thank you for great posts like this!

[Hissyspit]

38. I meant a recent one!

Montgomery Clift, indeed.

Yeah, I wisht that that post had made its way to the Greatest Page - two years ago it certainly would have.

[autorank]

41. I am amongst the assembled...;)

Maybe here...

or here...

Black, white, brown, yellow, tall, short, hot, cold, happy, sad, mad, sartorially correct, flotsam, captain of industry, wretched of the earth, subtle, obvious...some combination of the preceding or maybe not...but definitely in attendance at the march and rally on Patriots Day, January 6, 2005 and proud to have been there!!!

[Haole Girl]

36. Congrats!

[autorank]

42. Thank you so much and a VERY WELCOME TO DU!!!!!

I've actually been near the top of Half Dome (indiscretions and foolishness of youth;)

Cheers

[Haole Girl]

61. Thank you!

I'm impressed you made it near the top of Half Dome! I only climbed most of the paved trails (I know, I'm wimpy). The only repelling I did was once from the top of a gymnasium wall. :)
