Is Michelle Kwan the "New Laura Branigan"....?

1. I don't dislike her but ...

she should have made up her mind way before getting all the way to Italy and sitting and wondering if she is going to skate . Someone more deserving could have taken her spot on the team .

[Zomby Woof]

2. ROFLMAO!

:spray:

Or she is the new kids in the restaurant! :P

Michelle is okay by me. :thumbsup:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. She is by me too...

But I'm not really into her story so I can't really flame one way or another. :hi:

[Bunny]

3. I'll never get over that particular flame war.

It was mind-boggling, wasn't it? :scared:

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. It was surely a crazy day...

It made me remember how much I loved the song "Gloria" :hi:

[RandomKoolzip]

6. What does that mean? Was there a flamewar about Laura Branigan?

Did I miss a memo again? :shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Are you series?!?1?

You don't remember that one? I was afraid to enter the Lounge for a week...and I still don't know what started it. There was not a lot of love for Laura when she died.

[RandomKoolzip]

8. I guess I wasn't around that week. What happened?

[Bunny]

9. There were one or two people who just blasted Laura's talent.

Said some really nasty stuff about her singing. IIRC, this got Dookus pretty pissed off. If you remember him, you'll probably recall that he wasn't one to let things slide easily. He took offense, as did others, and the fight was on. It was similar to the fried chicken corn-flake breading war.

Edited to add: this occurred on the day that her death was announced.

[RandomKoolzip]

11. Huh. Well, I wasn't a fan of hers....

But I WAS a fan of Dookus, So I'll refrain from barking up this tree any further, in case he's somewhere reading this right now.

12. Well I -am- a fan of Dookus

Don't listen to these fairweather "was a fan" fans, Dookus. My fandom encompasses all temporal senses.

[RandomKoolzip]

15. Well, ain't you just a smarty-pants multisyllabic little shit!

You probably liked Laura Branigan too, you fan of talentless hacks!

[jpgray]

17. It's all I have left to remember him by

:cry:

[Bunny]

16. Actually, I'm a fan of Dookus as well.

Even though he and I sometimes tussled, I always liked the guy. If you are reading this, Dookus: :hi:

13. ROFL

Who else but my beloved Dookus? :rofl:

[RandomKoolzip]

14. Ah...thanks.

Like Susang said in that thread, "DUers can have a flamewar about ANYTHING."

:hi:
