Does anyone recall the DUer that created the famous and hilarious meme?

[kentuck]

"Call Congress right fucking now!!!!"

I'm sure she is still with us? It was one of the all-time great moments on DU. :-)

1. Here?

[kentuck]

2. No, it was long before that.

And it was the topic of the thread.

[truedelphi]

7. Still one of the replies

About "casting asparagus" was pretty funny.

[kentuck]

27. That was a classic!

No doubt. :-)

[truedelphi]

3. Sapphire Blue?

And my prize will be -

behind Curtain Number Three!

[kentuck]

5. I don't think so?

I'm just asking if anyone remembers because I don't. I thought it might have been Alien Girl but I am not certain?

[Arkansas Granny]

4. I've seen that referred to so many times, but I can't remember when it originated.

[NightWatcher]

6. Nice post Hitler, but that DUer got his beer and travel money and left town.

No idea where it came from?

[givemebackmycountry]

9. Well at least he's having many experiences too.

Having beer and travel money will do that to you.

[kentuck]

11. Why do you call me HItler?

on edit: I think my memory fails me??

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. (That's another DU meme...but it doesn't work on the DUer named Hotler.)

[Nostradammit]

8. Tyler Durden (since tombstoned)

15. matcom!!!!

Man do I miss some of those posters! :(

EDIT - oh and though it says he is TSd...I swear I saw him posting the other day (Tyler).

[Nostradammit]

21. I hear ya. Me too.

[kentuck]

16. That's it!

I didn't realize the poster had pizza delivered.

[polly7]

29. That was hilarious! Poor Tyler is gone? :( nt.

[Lost-in-FL]

33. Wow! That was some MF post!

:spray:

[Blue_Tires]

38. We've lost a lot of colorful names over the years

:cry:

[malaise]

42. He was a great poster

Miss him

[SixString]

43. That thread is like a graveyard.

A lot of tombstones.

[Canuckistanian]

44. Wow, that thread is a blast from the past

So many names now gone. :cry:

[DeepModem Mom]

10. Re. "old timey DU," I thought about "Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch!"

I was online at the moment that was posted and will never forget it. It was during the awful Terri Schiavo controversy, and there was a photo posted of a large, prone Christ figure hauled into the demonstration -- on a trailer hitch.

[EFerrari]

14. Himself

[myrna minx]

20. Great Minds.

:hi:

[DeepModem Mom]

36. OMG, there it is! nt

[myrna minx]

18. .

[DeepModem Mom]

37. OMG, myrna minx!!!

[SoCalDem]

31. Here ya go, my friend

[DeepModem Mom]

39. OMG, SoCalDem!!!

[seafan]

32. That was classic. Jeb Bush's callous interference in the Schiavo's private lives won't be forgotten.

It brought out the crazies.



Jeb Bush should have been removed from office for inserting himself into this private matter.


Never forget: Marco Rubio voted to allow Jeb Bush to interfere in Terri Schiavo's privacy.

[DeepModem Mom]

40. Nope, never forgotten. Just when we thought things couldn't get any crazier --

or callous -- there it was.

[DeepModem Mom]

41. Credit: Hekate was the "Trailer Hitch" poster that day. nt

[Rex]

12. No, it is like the word 'repuke'...been around forever

nah, I invented that word in 2003. Still pretty new.

It was a person that was making fun of another person that was serious about calling Congress. That is all I remember.

[Brother Buzz]

13. I was under the impression it stemmed from the "OMG, that's HUGH!!11! I'm SERIES!111!!"...

freeperism

and simply embellished by DU

[EFerrari]

17. No. It was said with the utmost sincerity,iirc.

:)

[closeupready]

23. Yes. I remember it that way, too.

nt

[EFerrari]

24. In fact, I think I *did* call Congress.

:rofl:

[Rex]

25. Yes it was not ment to be a joke at first.

The person was very serious and the meme went viral here.

[closeupready]

30. Yeah, because the thread title was all caps, right?

God, I wish I could remember - it was a call to arms about some kind of bullshit the GOP was trying to pass when Nancy was House leader.

[Brother Buzz]

26. I think the tag lines got connected at some point

That, I'm kinda sure of. :shrug:

[EFerrari]

34. They're both in the Shark Jumping Section of the archives.

Tyler was pre-Irony DU. HUGE!!!!1111 is Early Middle Era DU Self Parody. :)

[closeupready]

22. I remember that thread - I believe the imperative was to call Congress, and Pelosi's office specific

specifically, and I think it was about either Bankruptcy Deform or some other GOP boondoggle. I do not recall who it was, but I fell for it, and I was really pissed later when I found out. I believe I posted to that thread, as well.

[Xithras]

28. Aww, I was hoping this would be about kudzu.

I hear it's going places. ;)

[MuseRider]

35. I also believe it was Tyler Durden.

I remember the thread, there was a funny (at the time) response of, GET THESE MUTHAFUCKIN SNAKES OFF MY MUTHAFUCKIN PLANE!

I do not remember what it was about but I do remember Project Mayhem :)

[Crabby Appleton]

45. This one?

[kentuck]

46. Yep.

That's it.
