What was your favourite moment?

11. Tearing apart Diebold talking points
and claims. Especially when we infiltrated a conference of voting machine makers and made fools of them and their PR firm.
It was all fun and games then, until Frank killed Andy...

31. Fitzmas was good...
...but could have been better, as I recall.
Dirty, rotten, freeper troll. Fitzmas was AWESOME.

44. Weird as it may seem, 9/11
I can still see that event with where I was at work on the computer, reading DU, seeing the threads going on about it and the way for the next 48 hours it was a whirlwind of information, corroboration, debunking, solidarity and more. That was a defining moment for the forum for me and why I've stuck around ever since, though I didn't do much in the way of posting across the reboots.
I still remember when the place started since I had run my own website, non politics related, that was using the DCForum software and there was a lot of discussion on ways to utilize it and DU was one that worked over the core software in a big way.
Terrorist attacks on our country always seems to make them teary with happiness doesn't it?

69. Me and Matcom handing out flyers in Boston about Bush and the war-drums bullshit, May 2002.
...copying the flyer here, and watching as thread after thread popped from people in their own communities handed out the same flyer, or handed out their own, and then shared their experiences.
That's what this place was about back then. There was a coming-together, in the midst of pitch darkness, and a sense of shared purpose.
Beyond that: CALL CONGRESS RIGHT ****ING NOW
No data to follow.
9/11 here, and the days after, kept me sane. 2006 and 2008 were tremendous.
I've been thinking about it since you posted this. I have a hundred answers.
Oscar.
What not to say when watching The Passion.
Elizabeth Edwards.
Hunting Freepers back in the day.
But the CALL CONGRESS RIGHT ****ING NOW thread still gives me joy.
Hunting freepers? Pitt, dude - put the damn bong down.

88. cindy sheehan camped out in a ditch and du's coverage of katrina
those were back to back but up until that time, the entire media offered no criticism of anything bush and cheney. du was the only place to find like minds, then, when sheehan camped out, things started to change. It was an important shift. katrina coverage came from duers living in new orleans and posting up to the minute events and needs. once again, I got better info by coming to du. I also enjoyed the many actions in which we participated, calling or emailing congress. Those were quite exciting and effective. I was equally excited when Obama was elected although I knew when I listened to the afghanistan surge speech, also right here on du, that I had been fooled by him. Rahm also started his internet message management program just before that..its been downhill on this site ever since.
Hey WTF happened to your gal Cindy? you kicked her to the curb when the messiah hit town. She is still protesting misfits, cause we are still at war... did you forget??
Katrina was a hoot -just like Sandy... oh wait, y'all didn't say nothin' about Sandy did ya. Did you forget?

That was a great day. Watching their smugness during the day go to hysteria that evening after the polls closed. Screaming "Diebold!" and fraud from the rafters. The funniest thing they did was closing the shop down to anyone that had less than 1000 posts. Made it funny as hell, though. They didn't want the evil creepers witnessing their seppaku commission. Classic DU. :rofl:

That, and the original walldude before that, and Dainbramaged after that.

There have been many outrageous and and funny moments, but the most satisfying to me, other than W. Pitt's Death By Fitzmas, was the complete annihilation of TheMagistrate in the Gungeon by one-eyed fat man. The smarmy, pompous ass was so shook up at one point the mask slipped completely and he was on the verge of blubbering and shrieking. Good times.
:-)
-
When Pittstain got hit by a brick.
-
Fizzlemas.
24 business hours.
Andy biting the big one (well, he bit plenty of big ones...I mean his death).
The bitch in the ditch.
Come to think of it, most of the best moments have a lot to do with drunk-assed Will Pitt.

All of them were good times! :yahoo:

Original message
So my boss was racially profiled last night....
My boss is an American Indian. Last night, he was walking home and happened, for some unknown reason, to zigzag while walking on the sidewalk to his apartment, and a cop jumped out of the bushes and stopped him from entering, then proceeded to browbeat him for twenty minutes for no ******* reason....I guess his pretense was that his irregular walking pattern made the cop think he might be a drunken burglar.
The weirdest thing about this story is that my boss, a couple years ago, was running down the street to return a video to Blockbuster on time (and he's an athletic guy, too, who enjoys running.)
A cop stopped him and questioned him for over an hour and was prepared to arrest him on suspicion of burglary...or for just having dark skin.
The kicker? It was the same cop, both times.
I am not making this shit up.

The WillPitt Brick incident.
When Will threatened to beat up bobolink, the homeless one.
Pretty much every TomInTib thread.
The top one, though is the chicken wire and cinderblock.

OMG! That was so f'n STUPID! Sad part is, there are enough DUmbasses in the land of fruits and nuts to elect her.
My favorite DUmp moments, in no particular order:
Fitzmas
"24 Business Hours"
Andyscam
Pitt in the Gay Cowboy outfit, camping out with Cindy Sheehag in the ditch in Crawford, battling fire ants.
The "what meds do you take" thread - CLASSIC, and somewhat enlightening.
Election night 2004, 2010, and coming soon, 2014.
www.electstevedawes.com
The cinderblocks, chicken wire, and kerosene, 9-11 twin tower truther experiment.

Damn.
I'd forgotten all about the time the friends of the big guy started that web-site for his campaign because the big guy himself was being rather slow about it.
Yeah, www.electstevedawes.com, I'd rate pretty highly as a favorite moment.
-
Lesser, but still significant favorite moments:
(a) the appearance of Tangerine LaBamba here on December 17, 2009, during which time she spilled the beans on a whole lot of her fellow primitives;
(b) greenbriar getting all hot and excited about GOBUCKS (again, in December 2009);
(c) the appearance of the BainsBane primitive here during December, January just past.
-
Elizabeth Edwards.
Did Pitt miss the part where Edwards was so disgusted by her treatment on the Island that she left and never came back?
-
^^ Yes, she had to scold them for their constant grave-dancing.
I missed much of these great moments, since I only joined circa 2008. Would have LOVED to see election night, 2004.
One of the funnest days was the Cali wallduding day. It just opened up all morning for us, like a magnificent flower.

Any time a DUmbass kicks the bucket becomes my newest best moment on DU....and the more suffering the now room temperature DUmbass endured on the journey to become worm food the better the moment becomes.

Blackie the Ghost Chicken reminds me of another great favorite of mine, the whole 'You should be honored your cat was taken by a hawk' with the added goodness of Redstone throwing rocks at raptors, immortalized in one of Frank's monikers for late, not-so-great Redstone, back before he rode the arc to the other side of the Rubicon (Or more likely, the Styx).

Back around early 2006 LtD was running her mouth as usual putting down the troops George Bush you name it. Well in her babbling she blurted out a deployment date for her hubby's unit (He was a major in the 4th ID at Ft. Hood) and well that deployment date wasn't announced to the public yet.
In addition to that there was a ton of links to her just shitting on the military in general GW specifically and what we were doing in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In addition I found several links where her hubby was using her screen name to post the same kind of garbage. BIG no no.\
So I gathered up all those links...and sent them view email to MG J.D. Thurman and CSM Ronald Riley...the command team at 4th ID at the time.
MG Thurman thanked me (I still have the email) as did CSM Riley and they put me in touch with a LTC who worked in the head shed. I repeated everything to him..explained what DU was and what they stood for. HE thanked me again and said they'd take it form here and that they were setting up a dirty (outside the government network) internet line and a screen name at DU to directly monitor what that bitch (my word) was doing.
Couple days later she's going ballistic on DU about how she'd been "visited" by some high up folks at 4th ID about what she'd been saying on the internet and about how she'd released sensitive information (she denied doing it) and just kinda IIRC went off against the whole of the 4th ID.
Because we were talking bout it on (I think) CU at the time word got back to her from the lurkers that I'd done it. And she called me out personally...calling me a fascist and stuff like that.
Last time I caught wind of her she and DistressedAmerican were hanging out on Rat's website and she'd moved back to Canada.

The # of ppl and the support that was offered was a beautiful thing to see....
Perhaps not my favorite, but a beautiful, salient moment for this site.
Hmmmm.
I wonder who the "nasty RWer" was, who did that dirty deed.
Anybody know?
By the way, Bill the Bostonian Drunkard's all over this very very very long thread, but I haven't yet found where he responds to any of the Fitzmas threads. I wish he would.

Picking the finer moments of the DUmp is like picking out your favorite child or pet, or favorite parent. So hard to do.
Probably Fitzmas, randomkoolzip and the cop jumping out of the bushes, 2004 election, Doug Bulna and the remote, Cindy Sheehan worship in the ditch....those are the highlights for me I suppose.

I think a dark horse (no offense, Michelle 0bama) in this discussion has to be the wishes of "healing white light" that no one offers anymore, along with the pictures of hands that someone demanded way back when.

Good for you. Maybe it's too much to hope that she learned a lesson from it. Actually, couldn't she be prosecuted for releasing sensitive info?

She could have. But more than likely they'd have gone after her hubby. I know shortly after this incident too she was also expressing a desire to go back to her native Canada.

Late to the party but FITZMAS by hundred miles. The total destruction of a pompous, filthy mouthed, know nothing was priceless.
It gave us:
"Bank on it."
"24 business hours."
And of course all those drunken rants from the supposed child molester about how unfair Skin's island was.

I have 2:
The pineapple juice story of UGP's and someone at our old home posted a list of all the "psychic" qualities of the reality based community. Many could read clouds, one in particular had a personal god that grabbed her pony tell and slapped her around. I loved reading those threads at DU.
Cindie
-
along with the pictures of hands that someone demanded way back when.
I favor the more obscure ones:
1. Dopey DUers posting pictures of their hands, for whatever melodramatic reason, I can't remember, now.
2. Some dolt starting a conspiracy theory thread about the Right Wing Tsunami Machine causing the Tsunami in the Pacific, and Skinner having to publicly apologize on Daily Kos or some other rag; reassuring the public that despite what it seems, DU is not full of nuts.
3. The "White Chairs" conspiracy--again, my memory is hazy, but something about white chairs appearing mysteriously in some photograph as evidence of the great 9-11 coverup, or something
4. The "We're Sorry" threads after Bush was elected for the 2nd time; never did I gloat so much at their angst and frustration.
5. Walt Starr's Go Ahead And Ban Me
6. Nighttrains' creepy lounge exploits
7. The very first picture thread they put up, gawd did we have fun with that at CU, to the point where Skinner had to make it private to keep the primitives from revolting since we were mocking them so relentlessly.
8. The very first DU Top Ten Idiots list on CU, posted by yours truly, and the ensuing brewhaha at CU. Dozens of them registered to voice their indignation. I was swatting DUers like flies...it contained long forgotten DUers such as Tinoire, Tom_Paine, Matcom, MoPaul, ChavezSpeaksTheTruth, and other dipshits of yesteryear. Arguably, it launched the "Site That Will Not Be Named" decree from Skinner, since that rule was adopted at DU within a week or so thereafter.

I just remembered the time someone innocently asked if their were any US Senators or Reps posting at DU. From the responses it appeared that there were thousands. It was really funny to watch it slowly dawn on them that not everyone on DU was telling the truth.

This is pretty obscure--in fact, it's probably less than obscure--but anyway, during the Scamdal, poor stupid Beth was whining and bawling about how one of her "bestest ever" friends had just been arrested; how unjust it was, and that proponents of open and honest fundraising had been behind it.
Poor stupid Beth went on and on, about how her "bestest friend" ever had been stalked by uniform-wearing "freepers" masquerading as law-enforcement agents. This went on for a whole day, about how members of Scamdy were harassing poor stupid Beth's "bestest friend."
Yeah, right.
Near the end of the day, some anti-Andyite primitive (there were some of those, but none who wanted to be associated with Scamdy) posted the news story. The real story was that some woman in Seattle, Washington, had been arrested for election fraud--she had a job where she could control the counting of votes; I forget all the other details, and don't know what happened after then.
The thread was about two miles long, most of if from before the news story being posted.
After the story was posted, in her final comment, totally forgetting all she'd said upthread, poor stupid Beth asked, "who is this person? I never heard of her....."

My faves, in no particular order:
--"ALL YOUR SENATE ARE BELONG TO US"
--Fitzmas
--Pam and the episode of "Spooky and the Glock". I still swear that cat grew thumbs, racked the slide, and blew its own brains out.
--Every single DUmmie that comes here, gets their head handed to them, then goes back and claims "victory" to their fellow DUmmies. Uh, no. Just no.
--My mole calling out Pittstain for plagiarism, and making it not only there, but into the DUmmie FUnnies. (BTW--that mole still lives.) STILL.

--"ALL YOUR SENATE ARE BELONG TO US"
I only heard about that one second-hand, but it was a great move.

Favorite moment at the DUmp?
Easy.
Election night, 2004.
Without question. That was fun.
-
Oh Cindie reminded me...
I was new here and to the DUmp. Remember when we were firing missles at the moon for some reason? A coven of the weirder DUmmies were wailing and gnashing their teeth: "WHAT OF THE MOON PEOPLE??!!!!"
I was floored. One of the first threads I rowed over.
What a fun thread this is!

Yeah, the moon bombing thing was one of the best ways DUmmies self-selected into the "completely batshit" category. These are people who
bristle at the slightest mention of Judeo-Christian beliefs, but who believe in "mother nature," "smudging," and of course the "karmic" implications of bombing the moon.
Oh well. They're called DUmmies for a reason.
-
Another fun moment was when the DUmmies were claiming that then Governor Jeb Bush was using ice trucks to hide multitudes of dead bodies after one of the Florida hurricanes.
That resulted in this photoshop effort by someone, can't remember if it was Daveman or Freeper or someone else who created it:

I always thought highly of daveman; in fact, at our old home, I used to consider DemonicUnderwear, DarkHalo, and daveman the big three. Because I didn't know much, I even thought they were the ones who ran our old home.
Why's daveman hanging around with that sort of people now?

Undies and DH still poke their heads in at CU from time to time. I miss daveman too. He was a valuable member at CU and here.

After he came clean about not being a Ranger he made a brief reappearance at CU then faded away.

Oh and Andyscam: Willy Boy's posts where he was asking for proof of Andy's illness which started a doubt bomb among the DUmmies. It only lasted about 5 minutes. Mrs. Waverly saving the day. Poor stupid Beth's fund raising threads where flyarm would post song lyrics. Ballot the puppy. A partner who could afford to remodel the bathroom but not pay for Andy's surgery and the DUmmies trying to justify it. Andy having to go all the way to Boston even though there was a hospital in his own back yard who set the protocols all cancer centers were using at the time. Ignoring the fact that his health care practitioner could fill out an online form to allow him to be treated at Johns Hopkins and have it paid by Washington state Medicaid. The DUmmies being scammed twice by the same guy.

"Hey WTF happened to your gal Cindy? you kicked her to the curb when the messiah hit town. She is still protesting misfits, cause we are still at war... did you forget??"
If I remember right, they kicked Cindy (Who one DUmmy once claimed was the spiritual reincarnation of the Greek goddess Demeter) to the curb when she tried to run for Nancy Pelosi's seat. They'll gladly abandon those they once supported if such persons eventually oppose the Democrat party in any way.
Back on target, this is fun! I'll see if I can list some of my favorite DU moments (Usually in terms of humor or just general entertainment, not ones that I find memorable simply for how much they angered me), in no order:
1. All the times in which, whenever some mass killing or act of terrorism on American soil occurred, the DUmmies instantly claimed that it must have been a right- wing Tea Party terrorist, only to have it ultimately turn out to be an Islamic jihadist or someone similar (i.e. the Boston Marathon bombing, the attempted bombing of Times Square, etc.).
2. Will Pitt loudly bragging a couple Decembers ago that he had been quoted by Michael Moore in the bloated crockumentarian's annual Christmas rant, only to have it publicly revealed that Pitt in fact plagiarized the quote in question from a Douglas Adams novel.
3. When the left's jihad against Chick- Fil- A was at its strongest, there was a delightful bit of self- pwnage in one thread. The DUmmy in question, in an attempt to I guess claim that Chick- Fil- A is run by religious hypocrites, said something along the lines of, "Does Chick- Fil- A open on Sundays? Then, they violate the commandment about keeping the Sabbath day holy. What a bunch of hypocrites!" The DUmmy was of course too stupid to realize that one of the things Chick- Fil- A is most widely known for is the fact that it's NOT open on Sundays for religious reasons!
4. In November 2011, the DUmmies' whining and moaning about Bloomberg finally having the Occupy Wall Street camp forcibly torn down, with many Occupiers' beloved cell phones and laptops winding up in landfills as a result. The DUmmies' tears were particularly yummy that day.
5. Some people here have pointed out the threads with the DUmmies shrieking in hysteria about missiles being launched at the moon. There was one thread in particular on that subject that stuck out for me, with a DUmmy giving some incredibly weird, almost certainly drug- induced story about somehow comunicating telepathically with the Moon- People.
6. When Rachel Maddow suddenly was severely injured and bruised, the DUmmies put out a bunch of threads claiming that Maddow was attacked by evil conservatives trying to silence her, only to have it ultimately be revealed that Maddow's injuries were just the result of her falling over drunk.
7. All the conspiracy- theory threads, but especially the ones involving chemtrails and the now- legendary "Chicken wire" experiment.
8. Their howls of grief and anger over Scott Brown being elected to Ted Kennedy's seat in the Senate.

Allegedly dying. Coach didn't get a photo of the corpse, and there's never been an obit anywhere except that weekly Seattle moonbat rag - about as reliable as Crazy Miriam's San Diego blog.
With dozens of moonbats allegedly visiting him up to the day he got whacked, there isn't even one picture of the sodomite looking sick. It was 2005, a couple of years before everyone had smartphones, but nearly everyone was carrying a flip phone with a camera. The sodomite was a DUmp celebrity. Why no pictures?
Coach says he was whacked, so I'm sure he was whacked, but we have no corpus delicti.
-
My favorite DU moment is not any that has already happened, it's one that is yet to come.
I sit and listen with rapt attention whenever Coach spins the tale of the coming Great Discombobulation, when their political masters lose an upcoming election, and the Proglodytes fall on each other like a pack of ravenous hyenas. The stench of tomb-stoned DUmbass carcasses rotting in the erupting light of that brilliant dawning of the morning in America that Ronaldus Magnus spoke of carrying far and wide across the Island of Misfit ****-ups...
Ahh, what glorious days lie ahead of us... :cheers1: :fuelfire:

Yeah, not many people can claim to be members of Seal Team 6 before it was even formed...except maybe Chuck Norris. And all the famous people he knew, pillar of the art community and all that. I miss all his stories. The band his son was in, played with Carlos Santana or something. Knew every government insider on the planet. He definitely qualifies for the greatest, most farfetched life among DU'ers. Documenting his life experiences is like documenting Nad's careers.

As I recall, they didn't care much that TiT was obviously lying. They also didn't say much when he was caught redhanded stealing some other dude's lyrics.
-
That was Randi Rhodes, but it doesn't make it any less funny.
Whoops, my bad.
To make up for that slip- up, here are two more of my favorite DU moments, to make an even 10:
9. Alan Grayson holding an online Q & A session on the DUmp, with the poor d- bag being stupid enough to actually believe that doing so would help his campaign.
10. In general, all the threads (Mostly during the Bush Administration, but there was a mini- resurgence of them when Occupy was at its strongest) in which the DUmmies openly call for a violent revolution to overthrow and kill everyone who disagrees with them and usher in their unicorns- and- rainbows Communist utopia. These sorts of threads make the list partly because they lead me to envision what would happen if any of the DUmmies actually had the cajones to try half of what they were yelling about online, and how quickly and utterly annihilated they would be.
-

No, just like they had nothing to say when the drunken Will Pitt's crowning glory, being quoted by Michael Moore, turned out to be another case of Pitt plagiarism.
But of the many cases of DUmp plagiarism, the best was when poor stupid Pam Dawson copied another DUmmies rant word-for-word. She then graciously accepted compliments and even granted other DUmmies permission to forward it to others. Pam was tombstoned for her transgression, but TiT and the drunken Pitt got off scot-free.

That was when Pamela stole something the maudlin waif primitive, the "Mythsaje" primitive, wrote.
The maudlin waif primitive was really proud of his writing, and it wounded him very much.
Despite that Pamela apologized under duress, he was so disheartened he went away from Skins's island, much to our loss, because "Mythsaje" in his prime provided a great deal of inventory for the DUmpster.
What pissed me off was when Ms. Ed, the unappellated eohippus "Horse With no Name," the High Priestess of Moloch to the primitives, thought that Pamela should get a "pass" on the transgression simply because Pamela was who Pamela was.
-
If IIRC, one of you outed Tit in one of his new incarnations (dollar-bill hones).
The new one didn't last long at the DUmp, when he was highlighted here.
I think he had a third, which was very short lived. Don't recall the name.

Yes. DUmmy Mythsaje was Saje Williams, who was continuously trying to peddle his writing while living with his wife and kids in abject poverty.
His genre was intergalactic vampire sexual perversion, which he pretty much had to himself.
He's a DUmmy who is sorely missed.

Saje was self-parodying: a Target employee who loathed his job, but had to earn some bank while he waited patiently for his fiction to climb up the charts. I always thought he and TwixVoy were cut from the same cloth. Which by the way, TwixVoy hasn't been seen since his bouncy that was then lampooned by Dreamer Tatum. This, despite Twix's claim that he put all of his wealth in gold coins, which he then stored in the walls of whatever hovel he lived in.
Man, those were the good old days. Here is Saje's profile, along with some reviews of his many "books." (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/741203.Saje_Williams) Note that he has as many books as he does reviews, which should be an indication that the whole writing thing isn't going that well.
-
This, despite Twix's claim that he put all of his wealth in gold coins, which he then stored in the walls of whatever hovel he lived in.
I'm pretty sure Twix could put all his wealth in a single gold coin.
Twix was fired at Target for insubordination, then was on the verge of several other jobs only to wash out on the drug test.
One of my favorites was all the excitement over a new job at the air port, with a failed last minute drug screen.
Then he was going to move to Portugal, of all places, to sponge off his son. That fell through when his son refused to tell Twix his Portuguese address.

Well the DUmmies recipe that he entered was just some lemon chicken slopped over linguini. This is hardly worthy of a contest, more like something you slap together from whatever you have on hand. And of course he was doing it to win a FREEEEEEE stove, which of course he sorely needed.
