Top ten signs you are a DU'er
   
10. When you see Fox news on at a business you start twitching and the term 'going postal' runs through your mind. You make them change the channel and then post about it later.

9. You have lost most of your hair - from pulling it out while trying to explain to relatives that the latest chain e-mail about Obama is BS

8. You wake in the morning and find yourself in a flame fest over the death of Steve Irwin or Mr. Rogers

7. Every once in awhile, while driving down the road, you have flash backs to threads about Edwards and his hair or house.

6. When someone says the word voting you yell out black box or Andy.

5. While watching the Simpsons and you see Skinner you yell out viva DU! And take a shot.

4. You find yourself arguing with people in the check out line, at any place that is not wal-mart of course, about politics - and then post about it.

3. You snicker any time someone mentions Olive Garden, Smoking, breast feeding, or circumcision and then shout out for no reason 'Pit Bulls!'

2. You find yourself spending more time on DU on Thanksgiving complaining about the holiday and your relatives then you actually spend time with those relatives.

1. You actually get all of the above.

I was at a casino, because todays my grandfathers birthday so we took him, and I went up to the bar to get a beer and they had Faux on, so I very nicely asked them to turn it off and they did it.

8. You wake in the morning and find yourself in a flame fest over the death of Steve Irwin or Mr. Rogers

This is anywhere on the internet not just on DU.

Sure they did.

13. Re: #4 -- You don't really ever get into arguments in the checkout line,
   
but you fantasize about what you would have said or done if you actually had overheard somebody say something offensively freeperish, and then you post as actual fact your fantasy, in which you were a progressive hero along the lines of Alan Grayson and in which you handily reduced the freeperish person to a blubbering wreck with your brilliance, wit and total command of the facts.

20. Or, you've read it so many times you become convinced that you can do it too, plus
   
You spend so much time online that you've become cold and anti-social. So you brow beat the little old lady in front of you to the point where she cries, clutches her chest, and falls to the floor. You grab your Twinkees and carton of smokes and dash out of the self pay register at Wally World. Then you repost the story having taken place at Whole Foods (minus the little old lady hitting the deck)

The problem is that the DUmmies that tell the bouncies won't recognize them self. For them, it's life as usual.

Remember, Carl, he was standing at the bar, not the playing floor.
Of course, if there were a couple bar patrons that said they were watching the news, the bartender would have turned it back on. :lmao:

Wait a minute....  A bar, in a casino, has a news channel playing during baseball season?

What?!?

Who the Hell are you trying to fool?  That's the lamest bullshit lie I have ever read!  Casino bars are not places to congregate and discuss the events of the day, you frikkin' retard!  They are places you drink, gamble, and spend your damn money!

You're a liar, DUmbass huffer Drale.

I can only speak for Foxwoods and Las Vegas or the local poker rooms, but yeah, the bar areas do, but they're mostly on ESPN and whatnot.  News ain't good for the betting bottom line.  Sports is better.  Come to think of it, I don't recall the last time a casino television was on anything BUT sports or an advertising loop.

Yeah, the only ones I've seen are on poker tournaments or sporting events. News wouldn't do well for a gambling clientele. Damn sure don't want to depress your patrons into being frugal with their money and/or leaving.

I wish the bars here were that generous.  Any time I go to a restaurant/bar, it's sports sport sports.  :yawn:

However, I am secure enough to watch CNN or MSNBC without disitengrating into a puddle of panicked goo.

I'm a gambler hence my screen name and I've never seen a TV at the bars on the casino floors, they have video poker machines at the bars. I've seen TV's in the bars and restaurants off the casinos floors and they're ALWAYS TUNED TO SPORTS. Casinos would never aggravate people by putting things like politics on, sports is a safe bet.
