Yes, this is Lounge, but I'm not keeding. It was in perhaps the 2nd incarnation of DU. In, what are we now DU3?, since the Recs became listed with names, I tweaked the K&R to "R#(whatever) & K". It was new members who accepted it because it seemed de facto by the time they arrived who started using it a bit more. Really, the purpose of posting the K and the R was that giving an Rec without the post/K does not kick the thread up, just lets it sink if no post is made, so posting K&R contributes to kicking it up.

Although "Tweety" (credit defunct site "Media Whores Online&quot and "Shrub" (credit Molly IVINS) are not mine, I use them relentlessly, never referring to those dudes by their names. Tweety is used quite a bit, Shrub hardly much. I say Jeb Crow Shrub (because of the Rethug 2000 voting coup and the Rethug reliance on voter suppression and theft), referring to Jim CROW laws of repression. I've been scolded a few times by fellow members for my DU-isms, telling me, "If you want to be taken seriously..." that I would stick to standard language. I say, on an internet website?!1 I am too humble to aspire to be taken seriously. Besides, there's my history of erratic postings. The longer you are here, the erratic part will be clear.
