'Tis the season to recall the door buzzard

[Orrex]

In loving memory of our dear friend pinboy3niner.

[underpants]

1. 👀 OMG that is epic.

I’ll need to read this later.

[leighbythesea2]

2. Oh thank you

For this! want to make reading the door buzzard a holiday tradition and was thinking about it.

[Squinch]

3. I raise a glass to that fabulous punster, wherever he may be!

[Hekate]

33. Where all good punsters go: to lift a glass with Will Shakespeare, who deployed puns with rapier wit

[SergeStorms]

4. That post........

must hold the record for the most replies to an OP. Can anyone remember a post that goes on longer? The door buzzard. Classic.

[Orrex]

7. The original kudzu thread probably holds that dubious distinction

If memory serves, "Don't tuch the butt" also brought a zillion replies!

[tblue37]

10. Also the weird animal inherited from the uncle.

Here's the link to that hilarious thread:

[Orrex]

11. Holy moly.

I also have a hazy recollection of someone claiming to have been bitten by a raccoon and then afterwards wondering what they should do about it.

DU: come for the political interplay, stay for the human interest stories!

[tblue37]

12. That was Archae. She was bitten, and I believe she had rabies shots, to be safe.

[yellowdogintexas]

20. OSCAR!!! I would love to know what Oscar ended up doing

that was an outrageous chain of stories

[Hekate]

29. Gods I loved that thread. I had a dial-up modem, & it took me all night to read thru it.

[Hekate]

18. If you have a link to the Kudzu Thread, I'll add it to my DU Classics File of links!

[tblue37]

23. Is this the one?

[Hekate]

26. 500 posts -- it must be! ... I've heard so much about it; now to read it

[boston bean]

21. The radio lady thread was a biggie. But I can't remember what it was about.

[boston bean]

35. I remember now. The OLIVE GARDEN thread.

[yellowdogintexas]

24. "Dont tuch the but" was fabulous! That kid is probably in college now.

Anyone remember the "Non Sequiter" thread? Someone accidentally posted on a thread in the Lounge with a post which had absolutely nothing to do with the topic. The poor poster was fairly new so she had no idea what was going to happen ...

Every post was a non sequiter to the one above, often laced with a pun or two.

It was pretty long.

[boston bean]

36. The Olive Garden thread was huge.

[Polybius]

40. There was one about pubic hair too that got 100's of replies

[backtoblue]

22. The thread that never dies?

I think it was greywarrior with the taped duck avatar.

Had to retire it over on DU2 lounge....

[Hekate]

27. That duck struggled so hard for freedom

[backtoblue]

30. Lol. Free the duck!

I miss a lot of posters from DU2

There were a few stragglers that hung out in the DU2 lounge even after DU3 rolled out.

[cwydro]

5. That was the best.

I remember sitting at my old desktop practically rolling off the chair laughing.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. Oh, yes. A DU classic.

I'm sorry diabeticman disappeared from this place. Most of his threads were hilarious.

[Hekate]

8. YES! A toast to good times! A toast to absent friends!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

9. Ah, the annual holiday reading of the DU Door Buzzard Saga. Should be on PBS.

Folks in the country where I was raised rung the heads off chickens but I'll be damned if I would try that with a buzzard.

Who the hell wants buzzard for Christmas dinner anyway?.....


KY........ ........

[Hekate]

34. Gather round grandpa's rocking chair, kiddies, & prepare for an evening's delight...

[KY_EnviroGuy]

42. LOL, we must be of the same era. That's the vision I had....

with a log on the fire and an 'ole dog laying by the rocker.

"Now children, you're about to learn about the virtues of the mystical Democratic Underground".


KY....... ....... ......

[Bayard]

13. Before my time on DU

But LMAO reading it now!

[malaise]

14. It never gets old

[Wicked Blue]

15. Brings tears to my eyes

Such a time of innocence.

It seems like people on DU could laugh freely, unaware of the seething bloated orange specter of drumpf lurking in the future to blot out merriment.

I hope such a time of laughter will come again, a time when we can laugh ourselves sick over buzzards and doormats and what-have-you.

I think this amazing thread deserves a permanent plaque.

[Hekate]

25. Perfect. That would be "a plaque on both their houses," amirite?

[Wicked Blue]

49. Only if they don't get their teeth cleaned

took me a while

[csziggy]

31. Is that door buzzard holding the door key? nt

[Wicked Blue]

32. Not sure. Looks like a buzzardbuzzer to me. nt

[Alliepoo]

16. I was thinking about the door buzzard

And our pinboy3niner just a couple of days ago. And now I have mascara running down my face from laughing so hard!! Thank you so much for posting this!!

[CaptainTruth]

17. Yes! I was thinking about this thread at Thanksgiving. Thanks for posting!!!

[GoneOffShore]

19. It's like Gilgamesh or Beowulf, but with a buzzard.

Totally epic.
Thank you for posting the entire thread.

[GentryDixon]

28. Oh Lord, what a joy pinboy3niner was.

This thread was epic!

[sarge43]

37. pinboy3niner was one of the best of us.

May he rest in light.

Another DU classic: The corn flake coated chicken fracas.

[Nay]

38. Oh god. Oh god. Here it is. My absolute favorite classic post, RIP, Pinboy.

[JudyM]

39. That was such a classic, just hold your sides laughter.

[canetoad]

41. Warning you in advance...

IF you can't be serious don't respond.

Thanks - great memories.

[KentuckyWoman]

43. I miss the olden days.

Thanks for the reminder.

[littlemissmartypants]

44. Thanks Orrex.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERY ONE!

So many people there that are epic posters from Christmases past. DU love all around.

I miss pb9. Thanks again, Orrex.

❤ lmsp

For all those we've lost these last five years, regardless of how grumpy you were, you will live on, thanks to the door buzzard, a doormat and of course, baby Jesus. Amen and Aaahhhh, women.

[MerryBlooms]

45. R&K Thank you.

[Orrex]

46. The entire exchange is magificent, but IMO this post is the crux of it

Without Codeine's excellent straight line, the thread would not be what it ultimately became.

[treestar]

50. True. I still remember the earlier post:

"It's a common enterance!"

[Dem4Life1102]

47. All I have to say is

[denbot]

48. He was on fire that thread.

To pinboy3niner!
