Welcome hatchlings. Please source your arguments!

And may the doorknob hitcha
where the Good Lord splitcha!

51 little lizards?

Jump on in!

my unblinking eye

Hmmm.......now, that is a challenge.....no? :)

re: #2 experiencedtraveller

Welcome hatchlings. Please source your arguments!

No arguing. Just discussing.

Be interesting to see if there will be proportionately fewer to delouse.

The eye of Sauron watches.

Unannounced openings evidently result in fewer hatchlings.

Whudda thunk it?

I'm one of the hatchlings :)

Hi all!

Only the strong will survive.

Only the observant and persistent get hatched!

re: #8 buzzsawmonkey

I think the main objective was to get obummer on shillary to spend crap loads of money now, so they would not have it to spend on the election in Nov.

re: #1 Sparkizzy

I thought it a waste of energy. The Democrats were doing themselves lots of harm without help from any Republicans; and the Republicans need to pull themselves together and start figuring out what we want John McCain to be held to.

This is a distraction, and I'm surprised that Limbaugh is doing it.

re: #1 Sparkizzy

Asked in the previous thread: What do you guys think about "Operation Chaos"?

I think the plan was to assist in the democrat party implosion. To weaken both candidates; to divide them so they will NOT team up. Because if they DO team up, McCain will be a footnote on a history test sometime in the future.

Well, that means at least 51 n00bz are standing the house a round tonight. Shoulda waited until tomorrow when the Lizard Nation woulda had a day off to sleep it off (not me, going to my oldest kidz kollich gradeeashun frum Onnivercity o Jawjah on Sattiday). Have fun and play nice, noobz, don't blow it now that you are here.

Welcome , hatchlings--I'll have a killian's Red, if you please.

Are you truly French, or is my dreadful eyesight deceiving me?

The way I see it, if he had as big an influence as he claims he did, why not use his influence to get people to vote for Fred Thompson, way back when? That's what pisses me off.

re: #6 bosforus

The smartest boss I ever had once explained it to me. He said, 'during the past few years you have worked for me we had several uncomfortable moments when we strongly disagreed. THAT was when we were really working.'

Haha!

No one wants to comment on the new thread.

Not gonna get in that mess again.

re: #13 Ma Sands

(Who didn't want you.....?)

I'm wanted! But I don't wan't some things myself! For instance more islam in the Netherlands and Europe in general! Thats why registered unwanted (in Dutch).nl to aggregate against more islam. It's not finished yet, but will be soon!

re: #23 Racer X

I'm exhausted by the subject.

What about you?

When I registered, the open door was infrequent and never announced. Kinda made me always check the top left of the main page when I would call up LGF. If you wanted in, you had to stay on yer toes and keep yer eyes peeled.

Asked in the previous thread: What do you guys think about "Operation Chaos"?

Didn't work, Obama's the nominee.

/next question

What is the troll to lizard ratio in the announce registrations versus the unannounced?

If such a statistic could be calculated, I would guess that the unannounced registrations result in fewer trolls.

Just a guess.

re: #28 Racer X

I've opened the linked article from Scientific American, and I'm going to read it. But I am not going to participate in yet another situation where people are talking past each other.

I'd rather talk about the new hatchlings.

Just a guess.

I suspect there are hundreds of stealth trolls writhing just under the skin of the lizard that is LGF, but if they never come to the surface, they cannot be readily detected.

re: #1 Sparkizzy
Since you asked, here's what I think of Operation Chaos.

Yeah-I didn't see that the door was open until I read one of the thread comments (in a previous thread) mentioning that fact. So now ah iz a little lizard..... hope to prove myself in the future,but gotta sign off for now so I can finish my class at FT McNair tomorrow.......

bye y'all

re: #34 Unwanted

Sorry. I'm squinting at the screen tonight.

I really need new glasses.

Unannounced openings evidently result in fewer hatchlings.

And probably better ones.

Did anyone register as Sasquatch?

How does Dapper Squirrel look currently, to you? On my screen at work, she looks quite good. Not so much, here at home.

I wonder . . .

What is the average gestation period for a sleeper troll?

And

How many of the sleeper trolls are sock puppet orcs?

re: #41 Dianna

I got new ones as a birthday present, 2 months ago......and a new computer monitor as an early Mother's Day present this morning --I am singing, "I was blind, but now I see." :)

re: #45 Syrah

What is the average gestation period for a sleeper troll?

Could be forever, especially is they are a typical weak minded lefty and at least have the smarts to know they will get stomped the first time they crawl out into the open. If not, then they will probably open their mouths right away and get their righteous stomping!

re: #1 Sparkizzy

Asked in the previous thread: What do you guys think about "Operation Chaos"?

it has been fun to watch rush lead the charge as commander in chief of op chaos. i want to thank all the op chaos troops who have valiantly gone forth to keep the chaos going. i really do think it has had an effect on exposing osama. hillary herself has worked hard to get dirt on him and she thinks, if he does get the nod, he will lose to mccain who will be a one term pres. and she can try again. even the msm and the dems are talking abt. op. chaos and are truly annoyed and caught off guard by the results. it's even being written abt. in germany "die welt" wherein they all it "operazion cowz" (phonetic pronunciation) i like it.

re: #46 Ma Sands

That sounds good. I suspect I'm putting off my eye appointment because they are going to stick me with bifocals. I'd rather have two different pairs of glasses than that.

re: #57 maddogg

I know her creator; I think the Harper was going for a Marlene Dietricht-like appearance. So I decided my squirrel was a grrrl.

re: #52 nyc redneck

Myself, I don't think it has that big of an effect. Points to this weeks primaries. That's why I'm upset about Thompson all over again.

You suspect correctly.

Do you know how to instantly tame a wild wolf? :)

re: #66 Sparkizzy

See my earlier comment.

I don't trust McCain, I'm not happy, and I think we ought to be finding ways of holding him to the things we want.

Like, oh, victory, no amnesty, and better border security, for a start; no socialized medicine, and keep the tax cuts.

re: #70 wolfie

Ah! It's the hiding part that explains why I don't see a blue-bowed wolf!

Hey! That's exactly what I did to Mr. Wolf over 25 years ago!

I've actually been on quite a few times before and noticed that registration was open, but my free email prevented me from completing registration. No idea what made me try again tonight. To be honest, I was convinced that Charles was playing around with the site and accidently left the door open.

I think the main objective was to get obummer on shillary to spend crap loads of money now, so they would not have it to spend on the election in Nov.

You have to aim higher than that. Either one will have an endless supply of money if they win the primary, not to mention all of the organizations that do their advertising for them, free of charge.

re: #79 buzzsawmonkey

That's why I say: Levin for President!

Hello all, a hatchling here.. not a regular reader, but decided to take the plunge and get in on the fun.

"Such an innocently naive lizard. Shakes head sadly."

LOL OK I'll bite, why naive?I guess I do need to learn a bit though to understand the "culture" here (culter was defined by CS Lewis as "how a civilization practices it's religion")

As W. Somerset Maugham said:

"Follow your inclinations with due regard to the policeman round the corner."

Say what you want. Just be respectful of others. It's a complex world. The difference between praise and banishment may just be in the way you say things.

Some quick advice for the hatchlings:
If you haven't done so, coat your scales with a mixture of cement and asbestos. This offers the best protection during flame wars.

I read LGF for some time before e-mailing Charles to be clued in on exactly when registration was open, as I had never seen it. I received an e-mail response from Charles (pbuh) with a hint. Was registered shortly thereafter. I was scared to post for a couple of days.

OT... ( or can an open thread go "off-topic".....?) Just posting a quip from my brother.... who is brilliant. No blind preference here... the boy commandeered my share of the wit and intelligence in my family. As a result I have been relegated to "cute-with-big-boobs". Alas.

"Thought I would comment on a couple of things in the news and my in my own life.

Jimmy Carter (that right there should cause uncontrollable laughter) met recently with Hamas leaders to again magnify to the world his impotence - Shockingly enough nothing was accomplished, except apparently Hamas allowed him to deliver a letter from an Israeli prisoner that has been held captive for sometime. Carter's accomplishments now include, Economic collapse, Iran hostage fiasco, one more reason to invalidate the Noble peace prize, and mail boy.

Next story

Recent economic trouble is causing the price of food to rise, including lettuce. Hardest hit are the owners of large snakes due to the rising cost of rabbits that feed on the lettuce.

More middle east news:

It appears the Israelis blew up a "nuclear reactor" in Syria. The U.N. IAE chief was upset that he wasn't informed of this sooner explaining "We could have warned the Syrians that you were about to bomb them, allowing them to re-locate the operation" Syrian Envoy to the US, Imad Moustapha claimed that "Syria does not have a nuclear program at all." adding, "And we never will if the Jews keep blowing up our reactors"

A big hello to all you hatchlings and lizardoids, this is my first post which makes me a very old hatchling, and by way of introduction, I was once featured on LGF! Back in nov.06, did a video spoof on Iranian cartoon/Daily Kos... it stemmed from another LGF post and was intended for you all, had such a blast with it... pleaded with Charles to let me in (I should have known better...) So to answer WriterMom's 'WHO WAS DAT?' -DAT WAS MEEEEEE...!

(I'll post a 'hello hatchlings' in the comments in case I'm not believed)

Welcome to the new hatchlings!

Charles, as someone who slipped in during an unannounced door left ajar, those who find the unannounced ones are people who actually read the posts and not just looking for an argument. Hope that makes sense because it's somewhat early here and I'm in full TGIF mode.

As one of those 51, I would like to say thank you for the opportunity to get in!

Welcome, Welcome all!

I too came aboard from an unannounced opening.

Charles, I wonder if there's any correlation between the frequency of participation of Hatchlings from unannounced ad opposed announced registration periods... Logins, comments, etc.

I joined during the previous opening... I suscribe to LGF via Bloglines. There's a bit of a lag between the time a new post goes up and when it shows up on Bloglines. After missing several registration periods this way, I just kept visiting the actual site. I saw that "Registration" up in the corner did not have "(closed)" after it and took my chances. See what happened? It paid off and here I am today! A very proud Lizard indeed. Welcome to all the other newbies.

Well I suppose that I should be lucky to welcome Ms. Right to our little Zionist Conspiracy.

Welcome Aboard!

Unannounced openings evidently result in fewer hatchlings.

Well, duh. But they may be of higher quality. Since they are more likely to have clicked out of pure spontaneous interest, rather than premeditated ill-intent.

Hey new lizards! Monday will be my own one year birthday as a registered LGF lizard.

I got in a few months ago after a year of trying. I finally set up an RRS to Email feed with a filter looking for the word "Open." When a post with "open" appeared, it was text messaged to my phone. An unannounced opening wouldn't have alerted me.

As a confirmed "dittohead" I can tell you what Operation Chaos is about. During the early primaries many Democrats crossed over and voted for McCain. They did this in a sneaky and underhanded way (just like the Dems always do things) thus thrusting McCain to the front and eventually as the Republican candidate. So now here we are stuck with a candidate we don't want and one that doesn't repesent our conservative values. Rush felt that he would start the same sort of thing on the left and began with the Texas Primary where he urged Republicans to cross over and vote for Hillary thus keeping her viable as a candidate and increasing the chance for "chaos" amongst the Dems. Rush knew full well that the longer a spotlight is shined upon it's subject the more secrets come out. As he predicted the new "messiah" Obama was found to have some skeletons in his closet and has been damaged by them. Hillary's campaign has been strengthened and she isn't about to get out of this race anytime soon. This has brought to light the hyprocrisy of the left and shown how they are all about identity politics and are the true purveyors of racism. Plus it keeps them so busy sniping at each other that McCain is left alone to campaign on the issues and keep above the fray. As an added bonus it has shown the blatant favoritism of the MSM towards the Dems like nothing ever has before. I have to admit that I'm enjoying the show and wake up each day looking forward to the latest political news like I've not done since I was a Reagan Republican in the 80's. Rush is a friggin genius!

RedHead you have described the situation exactly. Rush is more fun than watching Jimmy Carter.
