I'm up to speed on the olive garden thing, but what was the meltdown

[eyepaddle]

over cornflake fried chicken?

That one never quite bubbles to the top and gets explained.

On a side note, I do love the internet and it's penchant for bare knuckles combat over complete inanities. :)

[matcom]

1. well here is the end of the meltdown

2. I just

:loveya: Skinner!

[eyepaddle]

4. I had NO idea

cornflake was related to that implosion--I thought it was some foodie purity thing, a la chili with beans or not.

And you know something--I totally missed the chicken meltdown in any event. That was over and done with by the time I saw it at all... :cry:

14. started a new thread for this

[LoZoccolo]

18. I had not seen that one. Now it is one of my favorites.

Threads that tell me what I am not allowed to dislike on a sensory or visceral level rank up there.

[PVnRT]

19. Best. Hijack. Ever.

[underpants]

23. How about a Fresca hmmm? hmmmmm?

[montanto]

26. Ah the good old douchebag days.

Man that was fun. Remember "replace a word from a song with douche or douchebag"

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. That will always rank up there with "The Fun is Over" in terms of

Skinner started threads. :hi:

[LoZoccolo]

17. For some reason I cannot find the announcement that the fun is over.

Though I did go back and find that they did not delete some of the remnants of the Sex Thread Riot that prompted it.

[LostinVA]

3. There was also the marinara sauce thread/flamewar

Sugar or no sugar.

(OF COURSE you don't use sugar!!!! Throw in a carrot instead.)

[Jokerman]

5. "the discussions about chicken are not about chicken at all"

For some reason that line cracks me up.

I guess I should be glad that I missed out on that mess.

[LoZoccolo]

16. I especially like...

"But now we are in a completely idiotic death-spiral of enforcement and boundaries-testing."

[idgiehkt]

24. roflmao

that is priceless, I agree.

I think, though, that that should be the slogan of the Lounge at least part of the time:

"Completely idiotic death-spiral of enforcement and boundaries-testing."

[BikeWriter]

6. Aarrgghh!!!

[meegbear]

12. Then get me up to speed on the Olive Garden ...

I know about chicken.

[Bake]

20. What exactly was the whole "chicken" thing anyway?

I have got to hang out in the Lounge more often. Apparently I missed some really good sh*t.

Bake

[graywarrior]

21. Good thing Skinner didn't ban discussions about "duck."

I'd be screwn.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

29. graywarrior, you can plaster a bill on a chicken's face

and put flippers on its feet.

But it's still a chicken.

Stuck there with "chicken tape".


:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

25. Hey, it's the lounge. We had a flamewar about feeding a dog.

People are stupid. That's really all you need to know.

[eyepaddle]

28. No doubt about it,

I've come close to thrwoing a grenade or two--but in almost all circumstances I just cancel that, hide the thread and move on. On the bright side I don't think I've ever had a DU stalker.

On the other hand--how can you talk a bout a dog on DU when there's a war, or something going on? :mad:

;) :hi:
