I'm suffering a GD overdose: PLEASE, someone tell me something silly, STAT!

[Richard Steele]

As a longtime GD addict, I blame myself- I knew the risks going in.
I know how much flaming troll-crap I can handle, and I overdid it.

My bad, I know.

But right now, I need some LOUNGE, and I need it bad!
Any help y'all can offer would be GREATLY appreciated!

[Nickster]

1. Care for a Snicker bar? A cigarette? n/t

[Richard Steele]

11. Chain-smoking since 11:00, yet somehow I'm still not CALM. Whooda thunkit?

And unless that Snickers™ has a really cute guy at the other end,
I don't think it's gonna distract me nearly enough.

[graywarrior]

2. Rehab. Stay here and post silly pictures.

[Richard Steele]

16. Silly pictures? BRILLIANT! If I had a Snickers™ I'd kiss you!

Feelin' a little better already! Thanks!!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. Would Crunchy Frog do instead?

Cockroach Cluster? Anthrax Ripple? :shrug:

[Richard Steele]

26. I was more in a "spring surprise" kinda mood.... but I'm feeling much better now!

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. You wanted your cheeks pierced

when you popped a nice chocky in your mouth? :wtf:

[Richard Steele]

29. Not mine- everyone else's!

Well, not really _EVERYONE_ else's...just everyone who crossed my
path for a few minutes there!

Have I mentioned that I'm feeling MUCH better now?

Since I stopped SCREAMING at the screen ten minutes ago, one of the cats has come
out from under the furniture and is purring on my lap...
better than heroin for taking the edge off a blind rage, ItellyaWhut!

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. Hey, this has been drivin' me nuts for years

What movie/teevee show is "But I'm feeling MUCH better now" from? :shrug:



You had a pic of John Astin, and that kinda rang a bell, but I still can't come up with it. :banghead:

[Richard Steele]

33. 10% The original "Addams Family" series, 90% Addams-fan mythology.

It really wasn't a "catch phrase" on the show so
much as it became one with the show's fans, years after the fact.

Kinda like "you doity rat" is associated with Cagney, even
though he NEVER said it in any of his films,
"but I'm feeling much beter now" came to be associated with Gomez Addams
years after the series ended,
despite the fact that he only said it ONCE and
it wasn't even a punchline at the time.

John Astin had a recurring cameo role on "Night Court" as Judge Stone's
crazy father in the 80's, and the writers had him deliver that
line several times on that show- because "urban legend" had conditioned
the TV audience to believe it was his "catchphrase".

ART pandering to LIFE imitating ART it remembered incorrectly.

It's the American way.

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. Kinda like 'Play it again, Sam'

Or "Beam me up, Scotty."

I guess it was "Night Court." It's not resonating that well, but it does sound familiar. (Loved the show, but I don't remember specifics about the Astin character.)

Excellent teevee trivia, btw. :thumbsup:

[Richard Steele]

37. "Play it again, Sam".... EXACTLY like that! I don't know what the PHRASE is....

....for that sort of thing, but that's EXACTLY the sort of thing it is.

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. An urban misquote legend?

Works for me. :7

[Hugin]

38. Monty Python...

The "Bring out your dead" skit.

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. Nuh-uh

That was "I'm getting better."

(Et al.)

[Richard Steele]

44. You're not fooling anyone, y'know.

[Oeditpus Rex]

47. Ninepence!

[Richard Steele]

50. But it's my only line!

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

53. ROFL!

I had to get up and walk around after that one in case I choked on my sammich. :rofl:

:applause:

[graywarrior]

32. Bwahahaha, that's rich!

[Beer Snob-50]

3. So do you get your name from

taking an overdose of Viagra?

Just curious

[Richard Steele]

8. No, my name is Richard Steele, and my "creativity" failed me when I signed up at DU.

So many truly AWESOME usernames here, I told myself I'd just
use this temporarily, until I came up with a username WORTHY
of DU.

Eleven thousand posts later, and I still got NUTHIN! :shrug:

[Beer Snob-50]

19. Take two dogfish head ales and call me in the AM

that helps me when I am pissy.

[Richard Steele]

22. Got no "dogfish head ales", but I'm working a bottle of homemade cat-litter wine.

It's helping a little; the responses to this thread are helping a LOT!

Urge to destroy anything that crosses my field of vision: FADING.....
Generic "love of my fellow man" coming back online.

My basic SILLINESS at 25 percent an' climbing.

Have I ever mentioned that you guys are THE BEST?
I hope I have....cuz you are.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. IT'S A PIPE!

Are you blind, man?!

[RedStateShame]

7. That is silly. Because surely you can tell that it is not a pipe.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. BAHHHH!

ZOMG!!!1! IT'S A PIPE!

[Richard Steele]

20. The map is not the territory. The image is not the object.

And, just between you and me: There is no spoon.
Don't tell nobody I told ya that. I'll totally deny it.

[Richard Steele]

12. Tried that already. Didn't help.

Still feeling an almost-overwhelming -NEED- to run amok with sharp things.

[Nickster]

14. My Momma always said, ALWAYS run with scissors.....or was that NEVER run with scissors?

[Richard Steele]

17. So you play TT, do ya? Don't be coy, what's yer handle over there?

[Nickster]

21. Table Tennis? Sure, who doesn't? They call me Big Daddy! :-) n/t

[Richard Steele]

23. Ok, Dad. N1! (as usual) nm

[Meshuga]

5. I never got addicted to GD

People are just too pissed off and too serious over there. It's like that (pretty bad) movie called "PCU".

[KamaAina]

6. The penguin on top of your television set is about to explode.

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. 'ow did you know that was going to 'appen??

:shrug:

[Richard Steele]

39. A keen eye for satire?

No, this is "zany, madcap" humor!

Bloody peasant!

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. Oh, what a giveaway!

But where do you stand on young people? :shrug:

[Richard Steele]

43. It depends on what position they fall down in. nm

[redqueen]

9. Go away! Batin!

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

13. I have no idea what that means, but it makes me feel better. PLEASE continue!

[KurtNYC]

15. Joke: Why do astronauts wear diapers?

A: So they can boldly go where no man has gone before.

[Richard Steele]

18. Thank you! That was HORRIBLY LAME enough to distract me for a second!

IOU1, Kurt. :hug:

[Richard Steele]

25. THANK YOU ALL FOR RESPONDING! I'm feeling much better now.

I really do appreciate it.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Get Back To GD and Tough It Out!

Rub some dirt on it. Walk it off. Big boys don't cry. Are you a man or a mouse?

I think that's enough.

Feelin' bad enough again to re-engage? I'll see you over there.
The Professor

[Richard Steele]

31. What are your credentials to challenge me? I'm a medicine-teacher! You're a transparent fraud!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I really am feeling much better now. And, I gotta give you PROPS:
you handled that stream of deliberately antagonistic ASSHATTERY
much better than I did...or ever could.

If I didn't have a purring cat on my lap right now, I'd get my
best hat out of the closet just so I could tip it to you.

You rock, Prof-Meister. Well done.

[bridgit]

34. Dracula sucks!!

:rofl:

[ContraBass Black]

45. " someone tell me something silly"

Isn't that what they're serving in GD?

[Richard Steele]

46. Ok, hair-spliiter! Tell me something silly that will MINIMIZE my urge to run amok.

Unlike the nonsense in GD today, which would be a GREAT basis for
a "temporary insanity" defense for just about anything I could ever be charged with.

[mtnester]

48. Your fault for going to that horrid thread...YOU know which one I mean

I cannot believe the thing is still open.

Anyway...here is something silly...

peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers....you get to say the rest...OUTLOUD

Now smile!

[jeff30997]

49. Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers ?

Shouldn't this be posted in Latest Breaking News ?:P

[mtnester]

51. NO! Some things should be sacred to da Lounge

Seriously, if you saw the thread the OP was posting in (MANY are posting in) you would want to poke your own eye out with a stick.

Now, a silly for you

[Left Is Write]

52. ...
