Due to the overwhelming number of locked and hidden threads...

[Dr. Strange]

Lounge denizens are being called upon to step it up a notch.

Also, please tell a joke about taterguy. 'Cause who doesn't like a dumbass tale every now and then?

[El Supremo]

1. Why did taterguy put lipstick on the forehead?

Because he wanted to makeup his mind.

[Dr. Strange]

2. You can't put lipstick on a pig.

Potatoes, on the other hand...

[siligut]

3. But what if it is a sex joke about taterguy?

Is that going to get this thread locked?

And won't that just defeat the purpose?

I am just not sure how to proceed here.

[Dr. Strange]

6. I don't understand.

Of all of the jokes about taterguy, how could any of them involve sex? I mean, what with his, you know, problem?

[taterguy]

12. Hosts can only lock threads based on the OP

[siligut]

16. Why would anyone want to get the good doctor's thread locked?

That is malicious intent and it seems to me he never had any intentions at all.

Well, maybe he hoped posters would tell a few, friendly and humorous jokes about some fellow named taterguy.

An altruistic act if there ever was one.

[Dr. Strange]

18. When I get enough juicy gossip...

I'm going to write a blockbuster book. I'm calling it "tater tales".

[westerebus]

19. Sex joke..

Tater Tails

your welcome

[mysuzuki2]

29. are you kidding?

Sex with Taterguy would totally BE a joke. (note to Taterguy - I don't really mean it - I'm just trying to get into the spirit of this thread)

[siligut]

31. Just what the Lounge needs to regain its sense of humor

I asked him to get back here, but he said he would need to talk with his his accountant.

Maybe he is going to start charging?

[Scuba]

4. How do cows do complex math?

Cowculator.

[Dr. Strange]

7. No.

They use cowculus. Don't they teach basic cow math in school anymore?

[idendoit]

33. First they must ruminate.

[Scuba]

34. +1

[HarveyDarkey]

5. I can't, sorry

I had 4 hidden in under two weeks. I'm walking on eggshells, or taterskins maybe, for the next two months,

[Dr. Strange]

8. Alerting.

Your comment about eggshells is highly insensitive to taterguy, whose great grandfather died while inhaling eggshells.

[siligut]

9. I respect that this is all about taterguy

But HarveyDarkey and his precarious hidden post situation actually cuts right to the heart of the problem.

It is the walking on eggshells that is the trouble here. The old, reliable lounge standbys of subtle innuendo, double entendre, sly winks and nudges are no longer permissible. This isn't freedom, this is the opposite of freedom.

[Wait Wut]

21. What did I miss?

I don't come here much on the weekends. Were we invaded? Do we need to post a warning above the door?

Crap. I mean that as both an exclamation and an accusation.

[In_The_Wind]

22. well ...

23. You might have to ask taterguy

All I know is what I got from this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024590063

What sort of warning do you have in mind?

[Wait Wut]

24. Hmmmm...

...so, was it mostly off-topic stuff that was locked?

The warning would simply state that there is humor allowed that may offend some viewers.

[siligut]

25. You know, I wasn't around either

Maybe there was a case of itchy-alert-finger/mouse . . . whatever, it seemed oppressive and your warning would serve the lounge well. In fact, your warning is something we used to understand in the lounge.

I'd much rather be amused than annoyed.

[edbermac]

10. Why did taterguy dump ground beef all over his head?

He wanted a meatier shower.

[taterguy]

11. So funny I forgot to laugh

[Dr. Strange]

14. Next time put it on your calendar.

That's what I do when I need to remember something.

[taterguy]

32. Next time fuck off

[Dr. Strange]

35. Let me see if I can find time for that on my calendar.

[hobbit709]

13. The Lounge seems to have been invaded by the humor challenged.

[In_The_Wind]

15. hummm.

I like my taters stuffed with sour cream.

[mysuzuki2]

30. This comment brings forth a really icky image

Besides, there are people on DU who LIKE being stuffed with sour cream. (don't ask me how I know)

[RedCloud]

17. I've been gone for a long while.

Psst. Has there been an Inquisition?Is that why the humor is almost bereft? Back to the topic, what do you call a dude who hits a long one?


Brace yourselves, it's 'tater guy'

[chrisa]

20. Did you hear about the crash at the North Pole? It was a Ho-trastrophe!

The Clause of the crash is still under investigation.

[PumpkinAle]

26. Haters gonna........................

[Dr. Strange]

27. Which one of those is taterguy?

[SkatmanRoth]

28. How about a picture of some long nipples?
