How has Datalounge affected your life?

It taught me about the closet cases in Hollywood. Before Datalounge I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was a straight man...

When I hear the name Cheryl I immediately think "cunt!"

I saw a gorgeous straight man once so I went up and whispered, “Yum.”

And then he hit me.

I tend to laugh now when I see a banner that says "Breaking News" and think, "Bearking News" and laugh to myself and I'm sure, look a little crazy.

It taught me there’s more to life than the fat losers in Flyoverstan Junction.

When someone looks at me when I say “shit brick house.” I assume they know….

I have blurted out, “Move it along, toots” on more than one occasion.

Cak and graxy!

Gayer than an Ungaro spring frock.

I laugh when I see yellow cake mix at the store.

It has given me a few laughs while dealing with the depression of my toxic workplace hell.

I have to watch my mouth at work. I have come perilously close to snapping, "Dumb frau cunt!" or "Die in a a fucking grease fire!" on several occasions in recent years.

On the other hand, my life has been vastly improved by my asking myself in pivotal and potentially life-altering situations: What would a DLer do? The answer always tells me exactly what not to do.

You bitches are the best!

Once when an unruly child was ruining our dinner at a restaurant, I said to my friends, you know who would know exactly how to handle that little bitch child? Mrs. Patsy Ramsey, formerly of Boulder, Colorado would, that's who.

R13 here. I footnoted and gave credit to the DL, of course. Another time a friend asked what to name his male puppy. I said, "Miss Sissy Boodles seems to fit". He thought I was nuts. Well he already thought that. He knows my love for the DL and I footnoted that as well. I think he named the dog Kevin or Calvin.

Just one more addiction.

My best friend, a non-DLer, says "shitbra" all the time because of me.

When presented with choices but fail to decide on one, I opt for Vivian Vance.

I'm a lesbian. I had a knee replacement last year and had a few week where i had to use a cane and couldn't stop thinking about the DL and the lesbians with canes stuff. It actually made me laugh. No more cane!

I use the word "cunt" FAR more often.

Even when I don't come out and say it, "Sure, Jan" pops into my head whenever I hear or read something that's completely ludicrous.

I don't know, but it is run by Nazi CUNTS!

I've loved coming across DL on my journey thru life. Have paid my yearly fee for many years. As an Elder gay I'm often told 'WHERE'S THE LINK" ? I cant link so say so now. Thanks for the laughs and in most cases great threads.

I notice fraus.

I come here looking for a warm, loving reception. A wholesome, peaceful discussion on various topics that intrigue me, holding my interest long after I’ve left. I quietly come in, join the discussion and give my thoughts and I find a balm for my soul here. Oops. Did I say ‘balm’? I meant to say I find a BOMB on my soul here because that is what usually happens when I give my opinion (however, sometimes I really do find the other).

Also I keep having these dreams of Vivian Vance.

DL had me in fucking STITCHES through the COVID football seasons of 2020-21. LSU's star linebacker then was Damone Clark (now a pro with the Cowboys).

Every single time the announcers called his name I wished I had a DL football friend to yuk with. Damone was steady missing Miss Warwick's gigs to moonlight playing football.

What a shame; I hope she's forgiven him (but I suspect she hasn't).

In my head, I read far too many sentences in Liza's voice.

Another vote for a seismic increase in my use of the word “cunt.” I also cannot stifle a laugh whenever there’s a posting by Cheryl. Lol

Any mention of the name "Mary" or even seeing the Mary's Gone Crackers snacks in the store reminds of DL and I smile a little smile.

I watch my spelling and grammar much more closely and brace for attack each and every time I post anything online.

I’m uncomfortable when I drain pasta.

Recently, DL has brought to my attention that the use of "LOL" is no longer acceptable. I was unaware of this.

[quote]I watch my spelling and grammar much more closely and brace for attack each and every time I post anything online.

You're welcome.

Even though I'm an unfriendly recluse, I feel like I have friends and a place where I belong.

R33 My husband and I moved back to my hometown a few years ago. The last time I lived here, I wasn't out. So I don't have any gay friends here. Plus I spend a lot of my free time with my mom who is under hospice care. I love my husband but he is so much like a straight guy that he doesn't have any gay sassiness or an arch wit. I can't tell you how my I love mixing a sippypoo and finding a funny new thread. I also enjoy writing posts. It's fun for me. Grateful for all you bitches! And especially appreciate my fellow eldergays.

[quote] I think he named the dog Kevin or Calvin.

Is he a rescue dog?

[quote] Lol

[quote] Recently, DL has brought to my attention that the use of "LOL" is no longer acceptable. I was unaware of this.

LoL! :)

Well, I read that 8 part thread about the snow plow murders in PA. What was that, 2 winters ago?

My sister’s husband now says “fat whores, rejoice” whenever anyone serves something especially good.

It has brought me into the brotherhood of laughing at Kevin Sessums' insane fucking ass. And for that, I am grateful.

Every time I see Matt Damon on social media or television, I yell FAGGOT!!!! Doing this also got me an unexpected hand job on the subway by a semi cute guy who thought I was yelling at him.

DL has taught me that although I may be the bitchiest, nastiest, most unpleasant person I know in my immediate 'real life' surroundings, everything is relative and it turns out I ain't so bad after all. You people out-cunt me on the daily.

My username for one of my online accounts is Lizsha.

I've become so much snarkier on other sites which I've have had to tone down but I really want to let it rip.

I always have to hold back a laugh when I see a baked potato. Why? Because one post in one thread about odd things medical professionals have removed from patients' bums happened to mention a priest whose explanation as to how a baked potato ended up stuck in his ass was because he was hanging drapes, naked, when he fell off a ladder and landed on the vegetable. And, poof, up it went.

Sometimes I giggle so much I start to pee my pants.

I read every post with an eye to what Mrs. Patsy Ramsey, formerly of Boulder, CO would say. I appreciate that she doesn’t cheapen herself by responding too frequently so I must uphold that standard and wait until it’s perfect.

I immediately try to contact Susan Dey for a comment when something happens in my life. I now have an EPO and a criminal record because of this behavior.

Stevie Nicks kicked me in the cuntbone because I'm on DL.

It hurt.

At the very least, my day is brighter in reading the comments. Mwah! (Dinah Shore kiss).

Wait!! You guys have lives?!!!

It gives me an escape from everyday life....glad it is here!

My casual friends say “oh fank u.” We all laugh.

I canot have nutloaf anymore without tho king of lesbians.

I now say Oh Dear when I spot a mistake.

I tend to read the "or" letters combination in all words as being "ro" instead. (Except with the word "whore" -- I like and have mastered that one.) Anyway, I'm a queen, but not a dyslexic one.

Positively. But I'm sure glad I didn't find it until after I retired.

Everysching I read now I wonder how Lisha would pronounsch it.

R38 are you very intimate with your sister’s husband?

I can see my 21 year old self first discovering this place due to my love of One Life To Live thanks to my grandparents and my horror at 9/11..... 2001.... I was truly just a kid. No career (and no idea how quickly a career and income can implode)

I was truly a simple guy who was lost aand clueless.

I remember my old Toshiba laptop that I posted here on, as well as how nice it was to not care about "being old" or the future.

I took chances and lived for the moment.

It was the best of times and it was the worst of times.

This place has brought me laughs and also surprised me with its sage advice and wisdom.

And i will always remember.

That I started the horrific- (and not loved by many at the time)

Stevie kicked my daughter in the cuntbone!

One day I will share where the cuntbone came from. like anyone will care.

We will care, R59.

Will not attend barbeques aka grease fires.

DL got me through the (first) Trump presidency and Covid. I trust it will get me through whatever the next shitshow is.

My pussy stinks.

I have become a pron addict and know more about adult performers now than about Song dynasty porcelain.

Punch and delete came in handy.

I laugh heartily for no reason apparent to non DLers baffling everyone around me.

It slightly depresses me. But now, I have written ca 900,000 words on Datalounge, infused with wits and wisdom. I have used the word Cunt maybe trice and have rarely engaged in trolling. I could’ve written a great screenplay or the 21st-century version of Answered Prayers during that time…but I shall remain in obscurity. Hopefully.

Whenever I hear a song with "heart" in it, I replace it with "cunt":

"Total Eclipse of the Cunt"

"Cunt Like a Wheel"

"Don't Go Breakin' My Cunt"

"Cuntbeat, It's a Lovebeat"

"Unbreak My Cunt"

When I'm laughing alone in the car, I've likely just heard a "heart" song.

The panel of experts here have helped me hone my ability to spot gay face and BDF.

Hours of entertainment, good gossip & all-around cuntiness, I love you fat whores!

When I order a Creme Brulee, I never share and always feel a bit naughty...

Delish!

^When hear or see the word Creme Brûlée, I immediately think of Miss Warwick’s elegant hairstyle .

When I see "WEHT" used on the Internet, my first thought always is "they spelled that wrong."

The Datalounge experience in my life reminds me of the discussion of International Mail on a while back and how it just arrived in young grayling's mailboxes in those pre-internet days - as if some IM Fairy knew we were in need. Such is Datalounge. It just arrives in your life by happenstance. Because lord knows it isn't word of mouth. Every single gay friend I have ever tried to come here, take a look, join the community, never taken to it.

[Quote]Whenever I hear a song with "heart" in it, I replace it with "cunt"

This would make a fun thread. Have we done it before?

I nominate Achy Breaky Cunt.

Unbreak My Cunt?

It's a rare day that passes without me visiting the DL several times. This rundown dive is my happy place, and I begrudgingly appreciate all you fat whores and cunts!

I've found myself over the years telling people that "This. Never. Happened." in response to something.

I only ever refer to Lena Dunham as Lens, which confuses people on the rare occasion she comes up in conversation.

I call my classier real world acquaintances Tasteful Friends.

It made me realize that the Far Left was every bit as stupid, gullible, and insane as the Far Right

For years and years until she stopped posting, every time Pollyanna Prisspot, Schoolmarm posted here, in my head I always saw Miss Patricia Barry, and read PPSM in her very distinctive voice.

Last night a DJ saved my life

Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken cunt

Pot always has the words, "copious amounts of" in front of it.

When house hunting, I wondered what tasteful friends would think of it. Then I realized I had none.

It has negatively affected my sex life. I have to start laughing when a bottom rolls over and presents….

Among many other gifts from this site, I've realized that, when it comes down to it, I have sufficient.

Overall it’s made me less optimistic about the future.

If I eat too much, I call myself a fat whore.

Because you AAARRRE, R85, you ARE a Fat Whore!

MANY of my friends now know that someone who has gay face “smell cookies.”

Not terribly long ago, I was in San Francisco with a straight girlfriend on business and we went to The Castro and went to the Twin Peaks bar and she went to the ladie’s room. When she came back she had an unusual look on her face. I asked her what was up as a she said the bathroom smelled like cookies and fell into a series of giggles. I went up stairs and, indeed, the bathroom smelled like freshly backed cookies. The bathroom there was directly above the exhaust fan of the Hot Cookie store nextdoor.

She and I both lost it. So perfect.

When I see a daily fish special at a restaurant, I wonder if it comes with prunes.

I learned the now much-used phrase "Cuntiest Cunt who ever Cunted!"

I could be having the shittiest day at work. And get on here and laugh myself silly, so thank you data lounge.

Where else could I get my daily ration of Mrs. Patsy Ramsey FOBC, Vairst Letty and her poosey, brokened cheeseburgers, the cuntery of various celebrities and drooling posts over scabrous but handsome criminals?

I raised my son (now 10) to be quiet in public, be polite, write thank you notes, read a lot and study Latin.

I swear people come up to me so often to tell me what a well-mannered and interesting kid he is. Of course I've I learned everything I needed to know about raising a kid from the Datalounge School of Parenting!

I just love it but I’m still new here and baker-could anyone tell me what is the yellow cake thing? (Hopes to be in on the joke)

When I hear a sizzling, hissing, or bubbling sound I think of handsome criminals now…

it's turned me into a bitch

My dears ,my dears that solid mountain of flesh is going to marry a jockey!

Oh honey, you were a bitch all along.

In all seriousness, I’m a lot bitchier.

So R-54 is the grammar nazi-fuck you cunt! (I learnt that here)

[quote] "How has Datalounge affected your life?"

Also OP, speaking over half-glasses: "Show us on the doll where they hurt you."

R93, it was I. I once made a yellow cake from a mix sometime around 2005 or 2006 and stupidly posted about it on here. I think maybe because I used applesauce instead of oil. Well - they all came at me for using a mix.

I am not sure if I was the one who misspelled it as “cak” or that was from another thread.

I am also the OP of this thread.

Has helped and ruined my life.

Made me remember why I have no Gay friends.

DL has taught me so much about the English language and the definition of many words that I never heard of before. Even though I can't stand the "oh dear" trolls, when I'm offline I can't help but notice the gradual decline of the English language especially in professional settings. Every time I text with a friend I'm reminded of how bad grammar has become the standard so it’s actually a little refreshing to see it called out on here.

R-101-R-93 here,thanks for update-yellowcake - you certainly keep busy. I’m still new to The Data Lounge but it has already , along with all of you given me the false hope I’ve been searching for all my life. The cynical comments and commentaries along with the harsh scolding for the slightest grammaric inaccuracies make me feel right at home,I am forever grateful.

I have a home here. This is where i come every day to relate to others. It's meant so much to me since i discovered it 11 years ago.

I assess the location of the cuntbone on everyone I meet, just in case.

This is a disgusting disgraceful hole in the wall that utilizes the filthiest words ever written and anyone who spends their time and wastes their lives absorbing and responding to any of this is as lucky as I !!!

[quote]So R-54 is the grammar nazi-fuck you cunt! (I learnt that here)

What you didn't learn was how to format a reply to a post.

The menses stopped wanting/mounting my lady potato.

It's kept me company through many long nights, and made me laugh, made me mad, and let me talk about some things that I never get the chance to talk about. I found DL by accident back in 2012 through a site called Tom and Lorenzo. I love it here and I really like reading people's travel stories. I always Crack up at the "sure Jan" comments!

When someone dies, do the right thing and offer condolences. Yes, I'm looking at you, Susan Dey.

I love cows, now!

I hate people more.

I am relieved I'm not the only one who enjoys a guy's thick pubes tickling my nostrils when I've taken it in all the way to the hilt. Brings back all those straight-but-curious college boys I sucked back in the 70s. ALLLLLL of them. If dorm and fraternity walls could talk.

[quote] I love cows, now!

Dollface post.

I would not have survived the pandemic isolation mentally intact without the Datalounge.

I discovered Data Lounge just in time. After Matthew Perry died I was beside myself -the void from not having that daily routine of following his drunk/drug induced antics and the end of watching how he morphed into a hideous shell for his former self left me with nothing.Then Data lounge came along and everything has changed-Thanks Data Lounge.

Oh please, this is a silly website run by assholes

I’ve learned some things, I’ve been an admirer and a hater of our gay community. I get little dopamine kicks from the likes and replies here, etc.

I’ve also grown to hate this fucking place. It’s very love-hate.

Real talk and I swear I’m not trying to spoil the thread I never knew so many non urban gays were racist. I mean openly gay men, the type who been gay since grade school. Especially if they aren’t from the northeast. I just figured gays had it so hard especially those in white middle class normality but I see race is way more powerful than sexuality.

Conversely, I'm always surprised at the way many black folk are so homophobic. You'd think they'd be more sympathetic towards others who've also been oppressed because of something they have no control over.

R38, I guess, I see him all the time. I explained the derivation of the fat whore phrasing around the time of Choco-Taco’s demise because he was the only person I knew who ate them regularly. Although that was a time for fat whores to lament.

^^ I meant to reply to R58, not to myself at 38.

I learned a lot from the Evening Punctuationist when he was still around.

He’s dead now.

I've cycled in and out of this place for...a quarter century, maybe? And in all that time the only place I've seen a reference to bread pudding is right here.

How do we know when one of our own dies? Do we assume the Evening Punctuationist is dead because otherwise he’d be here or did he know he was dying and alert the board?

“Muriel! I’m dying!”

Not a visit goes by where I literally laugh out loud (that's LOL, for you purists) at some of the posts or replies.

I told a millenial co-worker that so and so should die in a grease fire. She howled with laughter.

Reading on DL makes me less confident about the future of the USA.

[quote]Reading on DL makes me less confident about the future of the USA.

There's stronger competition elsewhere for that concern.

[quote] How do we know when one of our own dies? Do we assume the Evening Punctuationist is dead because otherwise he’d be here or did he know he was dying and alert the board?

In this instance people on DL knew his real identity, such as through Facebook. They knew of his sickness, obituary and death announcement by his sister on Facebook.

It cost me my faith in God.

Brevity and Wit. Some of the funniest people I've never met post here.

— Let's be a lesbian pool party

— Sows at the trough

— The snow removal dispute in Philadelphia (8-part series)

Some of the most epic online reading of all time.

I come for all the witty, cultured bon vivants of course! And the onward plops!

"Frau" is a staple of my vocabulary now.

[quote]I now say Oh Dear when I spot a mistake.

Oh, dear!

I was molested.

They are just a bunch of bitter old queens with no money and no purpose, hating anything good in the United States. Fuclk you.

sizemeat

r134, that's a good thing! I hope you are grateful! No need to believe in that silly superstition anymore.

Every time my mom wants to meet for lunch at Chili’s (and she always wants to meet at Chili’s) I think of…

“OH FANK YOU!”

It has introduced me to SO many good retro tv shows, movies and songs.

Under the old format DL gave me some of the biggest laughs of my life where I was practically on the floor rolling with laughter. And I'm the kind of person who never laughs. If I do it is pretty fake. The best I can do is smile.

I guess those guys are dead.

I started referring to certain people as "mincing prisspots".

If you think the racism on DL is bad think of the homophobia in minority communities. That's why Buttigieg could never win. Even if you don't like his policies or think he's incompetent he's a helluva lot more competent and presidential than Trump. But minorities will prefer Trump any day of the week to a homo.

I learned that even on DL people laugh and make the same old jokes about prison rape.

DL taught me that lesbians almost always drive Subarus. I'd never noticed but now I do and find it's true in many a lot of cases.

Virtuoso at starting grease fires.
