Could be worse. It could be a thread asking about how the smell of different people’s feces. But we would NEVER stoop so low.
Does People of Walmart count?
Oh heaven forfend. Point taken! I’m actually enjoying this thread.
(I like People of Walmart.)
Yes! Everyday of the year.
Yay, I finally got my activation email! I’ll say it once and then I’ll drop it, but I can’t believe the petty crap that other thread would be shut down for. And we cant discuss the Duchess because she’s soon to leave?!.. David can’t be called “Venereal”…because why? It might offend someone? Get the eff over it. The PC police are way too sensitive now a days.
Ok…that’s out of my system.
I was watching Grater yesterday morning. She was twirling and dancing so hard, her mic fell off. She had to be ushered off to have it fixed. Pat had to interrupt her a few times to give the new liquid shyte colors. Me thinks Pat’s finally had enough.
Just a word to KLoves who wonders if “liking” that burqa cartoon was the reason for her ban: I’d say it was, K. Because after the shit hit the fan and Dave locked the thread, I pinged him and told him I thought it was a childish, spiteful act to shut down an entire thread because one poster may have gone a bit too far. (I’m kind of ballsy, that way. Which is how I ended up over here without even waiting for an invite, lol. Hope you didn’t mind, Honey).
He told me it wasn’t just “one poster” it was also the people who’d given their approval by “liking” the post. He even gave me the exact number of “likes” which I’ve forgotten now. He was really quite aflutter with indignation, lol. That’s why I rarely ever ‘liked’ something over there even when I was almost pissing myself laughing. (Hard to be both ballsy yet cowardly, but somehow I manage it. :D).
As for Puddy’s problems registering, when I tried to sign up with my Hushmail account, I was told my email address was banned. There’s no reason why I, myself, would be banned anywhere (I’m an angel! ;)) so it had to be Hushmail itself. I reregistered with my Hotmail addy and it went through with no problems. Also, some email servers don’t let you click on links sent in emails for your security. You have to give the server permission to let you click them on through your settings. Hope this info helps.
when I came over and looking for the location of the thread I searched for names and a Puddykatt came up which I asumed was “our” Puddy. I had no trouble registering through my google account. I, too miss the pictures which added so much to the snark.
Jayne and Pat look like crap in that tight ass GIGGLY jacket.
Most do in that Giggly crap. They’re both top heavy, and Pat looked like a giant pimple in the tan color.
But it looks like something Angelina Jolie would wear in Maleficent.
It’s my understanding that she didn’t get an “error” message, she just never received the email to click on to finalize membership.
Yeah, I’m with you. No way this thread should be above “ICEE vs Slurpee”, “What’s your favorite book that nobody reads?” or “What musical instrument is the butt of the most jokes?” This board is clearly on a higher level.
John’s mom looks awful in the jacket. She was trying to unzip it and the zipper stuck. lol
BrendasChoppers, glad to see you made it over!
Saint Mary Beth Motorcycle Mama? Black Giggly moto over her standard matron wear. Oddly, she seems to be into it. It’s too early for me to process this shit.
My biggest problem, and I have many with the Giggly crap, is that ALL her freaking jackets look alike. They all seem to have the Fat Elvis big collars, zippers that are on the diagonal, they’re wayyyyy too short and have pinched in waists. Plus, very few people look good in them. I guess this shows that Lisa has a one track mind with no imagination. I predict the Giggly line will quickly die once Lisa leaves and her acolytes aren’t buying 5 of every item.
MBR does not look good in the Giggly TSV. Makes her look dumpy.
Hi Kloves.
I, too, got swept up in the aftermath of Burkagate for ‘liking’ that particular post. Frankly, I thought it was funny as hell and the intent was not racist in any way. But as I learned in my years in HR, racism is in the eye of the beholder not in the intent of the originator. I had signed up 2 whole days before the broohaha and was completely clueless about why I was banned. I quietly went away and pouted for a while, then decided to try to return under a new name. And in that second persona, I tried very hard not to be inflammatory in any way. I still don’t understand what the latest kerfluffle was all about. I wasn’t one of the ones who got a slap on the hand, but I’m enough of a '60s kid that being ‘put down by the man’ makes the sap rise. It makes me want to grab a placard and protest something! lol (yup, old hippie chick here).
As was pointed out to all we transgressors, it’s their party and they can cry if they want to. So while I intend to keep a presence there, it will be a pretty quiet one. I admit to a certain interest in finding out who will replace the former ‘top posters’. I’d bet dollars to doughnuts it will be the bitchers and whiners that caused the problem. Since I abhor skulkers and tattletales, that’s one cool kids table I DON’T want to sit at.
Long time lurker/laugher on the other site, and now I am here! I am surprised that I wasn’t banned from there because of all the inappropriate posts I “liked.” Thanks Honey for setting this up, and BeautyTaint for the invite!!
I was around for the burka stuff and kind of steered clear of it. I’m not a prude by any means. That kind of thing on a forum snarking about shopping channels kind of made me uncomfortable though since it was touching on religion somewhat. I got the humor behind it but thought it might not go over well. I’m sorry people that even liked the post that contained the graphic got banned.
I could see the person who created it maybe getting banned but the people who liked should have just gotten warnings IMHO. I wonder if anyone accidentally liked it and got banned too? I only mentioned that because I noticed I did it myself the other night.
The latest closing of the thread baffled me due to the accusations that were thrown at those of us who posted in the thread. Things were mentioned that supposedly happened that nobody remembers ***ever ***occurring ***especially *** that map stuff.
Welcome Chica! Beauty Taint did a great job of inviting everyone to join us. 
Ok, well enough about the sordid past…
I had to check out MBR in the moto-mama giggly nightmare…err…jacket. I do think she is enjoying herself just a bit, being so out-of-character. All I could think of was the ending of Grease where ONJ (Sandy) has her transformation from '50s schoolgirl to leather clad sex bomb. I wonder if Mr. MBR might like it if she came home in the jacket with her hair done in a bed-head do, wearing hoochie mama makeup and stilletto boots!
For holy fucks sake. It’s fucking 2014. Seriously can this retarded meme that the SDMB is full of the “smartest, hippest and coolest people on the intertubes” be fucking retired already?
Jesus fucking Christ.
Even TubaDiva* said that there is not some sort of threshold for smartness to post on this board like a test and if there were most people wouldn’t pass it anyways. Damn I wish I would have saved that quote for posts like this.
Let the people have their fun and if you don’t like it then don’t participate but there’s no reason to roundaboutly insult these people by suggesting they might not be smart enough to join the “cool kids”.
*For the new folks Tuba is an “administrator” from the beginning of the board, was one of the original members and is the go between the board and the people that are in charge of it.
private message me
That is so funny! Perfect analogy! Saint Sandy, bless her heart.
