Please, no spoilers about the debate tonight

[taterguy]

Some of us won't be able to watch it live.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

:yourock:

[K Gardner]

1. Good luck with that :-)

[book_worm]

2. I would suggest then staying off of DU because there will be many threads

and some of them will have headlines about what some candidate says or does.

[question everything]

32. And any other sources of news like the Internet and TV and radio

because some of the sound bytes would be repeated over and over.

[bobd0]

51. Get Warren to lock you up in a cone of silence. Just don't use the one McCain used. His didn't work.

[1Hippiechick]

63. LOL - Warren finally said, "It was all a big joke...." remember? n/t

[sharp_stick]

3. Oh, I'm sure there won't be any spoilers

Nobody would bother to post about the debate here would they. ;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. ROFLMAO!

:rofl: :rofl:

[Bicoastal]

4. FUCK IT! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

Sorry...that's pretty much my reaction these days when I hear anyone talk about doing something live.

[nickyt]

15. Thank you God and Bicoastal, it ain't just me!

And as far as spoilers, I think it's already common knowledge that McCain won, eh?

[WeDidIt]

5. Don't wanna know? Don't visit DU until AFTER you've watched

Thems the breaks.

[flowomo]

6. just not possible.....

ok for the Oscars and Emmys -- but a presidential debate? I can't see how.

[elocs]

My guess is that you will just have to live with it--this ain't no football game,

or season ending tv show although it may be an election season ender for McCain.

[Fresh_Start]

7. Don't go on the internets (tubes) until after you watch debate

its a more feasible solution than your request

[greguganus]

CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

[BklynChick]

8. are you high?

[taterguy]

22. No

[bobd0]

52. yes

[Gman]

9. McCain won! ......sorry, couldn't help myself

[Marnieworld]

11. Too late

McCain has already declared victory!

[trumad]

12. Uhh no thanks

[Catshrink]

13. here's your spoiler:

edited because I forgot to add :rofl:

[Orangepeel]

14. this is a joke, right? It's hard to tell sometimes.

:D

[taterguy]

64. No

[unblock]

16. ok, but MCCAIN WINS!!!!

at least according to his ads....

[faithfulcitizen]

17. So it starts at 9 ET in 5hrs, 20ish min? Cause my tv says 8 PM. Is that an hour of predebate talk?

[K Gardner]

21. Oh dear.. I've started drinking too early *hic*

[eShirl]

18. riiiiiight.

:spray:

[CampLo]

19. this is like McCain asking Barrack to push back the debates

here's an easier sollution: don't log on to DU.

[Pirate Smile]

20. LOL - I suggest you avoid DU if you don't want details.

I assume you are joking.

[taterguy]

23. Assume nothing

[Pirate Smile]

24. OK but I know your plea will not be followed. Debate nights are CRAZY on DU.

Every good line is going to be posted ten times with lots of !!!!.

[Bluebear]

25. LOL

[my3boyz]

26. PLEASE...that is how I will decide if I can stand to watch it. LOL

My suggestion is that you steer clear of DU until you have a chance to watch it.

[bunnies]

27. As you wish, oh great master.

We are but minions and must obey your commands.

[taterguy]

31. I've always wanted minions

[bunnies]

33. lol. Me too. Thats what I call my 3 pets, collectively.

Minions! Gather! And they do. :)

[taterguy]

34. My dogs think I'm their minion

Always at their beck and call

Unless I'm not

[bunnies]

40. but when you're not...

you will be again.

Unless you wont. :hi:

[nsd]

28. This is the second time you've made this joke.

I look forward to your Election Day post asking us to hold off on commenting on the results until the following day.

[taterguy]

42. I'm never logged onto DU at the hour when election results come in

Which you would know if you paid the slightest bit of attention.

:eyes:

[demokatgurrl]

29. Personally, I am hoping not only for spoilers

but for a blow-by-blow, real-time report right here on DU (unless someone can point me to a live blogger). Because I cannot stand to watch McCain. I'll watch clips of Obama kicking his ass after it's over.

[BrotherBuzz]

30. Hey, do like me and set your clock ahead one hour.....

then we can do all the spoiling... heeheehee

:evilgrin:

[Ichingcarpenter]

35. Obama won (spoiler alert) in the first 10 minutes after McCain said that he

was Teddy Roosevelt, blew his bugle and rushed up and down the stage, yelling

CHARGE!!!!!!!

[DevonRex]

38. Dammit. Beat me to it. Although I think he'll be in a codpiece

pedaling a toy airplane and making airplaine noises.

[DesertRat]

54. ROFL!!

:spray:

[Barack_America]

58. And then tried to drag Obama off-stage claiming he was a "yellow fever victim"?

Don't drink the elderberry wine, Barack!

;)

[DevonRex]

36. Sorry. Obama wins. :) That's all you need to know. heh heh

[tammywammy]

37. Good Luck with that

Anyone that doesn't want the blow by blow tonight should stay away from DU.

[taterguy]

39. I said please

What more do you people want?

[Orangepeel]

41. I wish people would stop posting all those "news" spoilers in LBN n/t

[HeraldSquare212]

43. Didn't you see the ads? McCain won!

[taterguy]

45. Those ads have already been mentioned about six times in this thread

Why bother saying anything if it's not completely original.

[HeraldSquare212]

46. "Oh that I had new words to say" - the words of the first known writing

[taterguy]

47. Nobody likes a smart-ass

[Roon]

44. The only way to avoid spoilers...

is to staff off the web,turn off the TV and radio, and turn off your phone. Otherwise you are always going to be doomed to spoilers. Just a fact.

[taterguy]

48. I said please

[Roon]

55. Well, don't worry about me

I won't be posting any spoilers. But I will be a reading fool!! Only a few hours now until the debate! Mccain already looks like an idiot for backing out and being in again. I just hope that Obama can find Mccain's buttons to push to make him go over the deep end.That would be sweet!

[bobd0]

49. McCain totally lost it and started talking about making more broadcasts to the south

Then he flung himself off the stage while ranting about crosses in the dirt. It was over relatively quickly but it looked very painful both psychologically and physically.

How much would I love to see that?

[taterguy]

50. There's a difference between a spoiler and a prediction

But that's just my opinion and I could be wrong

[bobd0]

53. I meant it as a supposedly humorous spoiler. It's in the past tense except for the

last line. I couldn't stop myself from hoping. Keep hope alive. McCain could lose it. It's a possibility. Even if not, I can dream, can't I?

[taterguy]

56. This is a serious discussion board. There's no place for humor here.

Or so I've heard.

[bobd0]

61. Oh, sorry. I didn't know we were Republicans. :)

[shugah]

57. okay

we will certainly respect your request.

got it DU? nobody discusses the debate until taterguy has a chance to watch it.

let us know when you've watched it, okay t-guy?

[taterguy]

59. I've got a lot of stuff on my Tivo so it might be a while

But I'll let you know

[CakeGrrl]

60. I think you're blowing against the wind

Unless there's something laid down by the mods, there's no chance to keep someone from opening threads, especially as your own thread sinks.

Best to avoid DU if you don't want a surprise.

[taterguy]

62. I said please
