I am proposing that no "happy dances" be allowed anymore on CreditNet. Thank you. Curmudgeonly yours, Doc
Doc, The title of your post should have included a question mark. (?) I don't believe the board is ready for what you have so judiciously proposed. One might as well try to ban congratulations. Ask yourself why people come to this board. One reason is undoubtedly the hilarity and frivolity exemplified by the "happy dance." Another would be the positive attention channeled through congratulatory remarks. Some people can't live without them. I have even been rebuked for not offering congratulations on some minor victory. This board, including all the cliques within it, can be considered a distinct subculture with its own symbols and rituals. Some people bow towards Mecca five times a day; others do the "happy dance." The "happy dance" is far less likely to turn deadly.
<with Artie Johnson's background music, (Veddy Interesting, But Stupid!)> Bah dah bump Bah Dah bump Bah Dah bump bah dah bump. BUMP! Doc, Who peed in your Wheaties?
Hellooooooooo?!! Anybody home??? Doc's post is a joke... meant to be funny and to draw funny comments.
Doc, This is serious stuff. Do you now see what happens when you stay away from Credinet, in order to participate more fully in Real Life?? The people here no longer know how to relate to you! I, personally, think you need some help. Have you considered therapy?
As we pause now to reflect on the short but tragic life of Doc's Wheaties, we ask ourselves, Why, Doc, Why? The answer, we all know, but can scarcely brave ourselves to admit is: And it's all because your Momma don't dance and your Daddy don't Rock n Roll!
Alas, breeze, Richguy, Saar, Quixote, Jim, Sam, Katco, dlo64, lbowman, and Annie, let me make a few points: 1) The "happy dance" was outlawed in 7 different central asian republics during the last few years. We certainly don't want to endanger geopolitical alliances. 2) Queen Elizabeth II discouraged several forms of "happy dancing" during her Annual Christmas Address during the late 1950s. 3) They do the "happy dance" at Equifax everytime they pretend to verify derogatory tradelines. See my point? Doc
