DL memes you don’t understand and their origins

I’ll start:

[quote] I am a Larry shipper, a Larry believer if you will.

Please explain that one.

OP I remember seeing that one. “Larry” refers to the fictitious sexual relationship between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson invented by fraus who invade this sight. A similar, more recent pairing would be Richard Madden and Froy. These women create these relationships because it allows them to have to consider that these guys are with beautiful women that they cannot compete with.

r2: "Joey" is Joey Luft, reclusive brother of Lorna Luft and Liza Minnelli. Rumored to have fetal alcohol syndrome.

While Lizsha ish known to go on shlurred, cocaine-fueled poshts, Joey will occasionally chime in with the only thought he ever has:

"I like blue."

[quote] I am a Larry shipper, a Larry believer if you will.

OP, that's very odd. A search for "Larry shipper" brings up no results except your thread. Can you link several threads which use that particular meme? They sound funny beyond words. A real hoot!

I should point out out there were a number of Larry King results but no Larry shipper. Very peculiar for something you define as a DL meme but can not be located in a search.

Thank you R9. Is a post from 2017 considered a meme? I did a search using "Larries" and saw that Larries was referenced to outside media but nothing like a DL meme.

R10, a DL meme should be easily located in a search. Especially something with frequency. Google had a number of results. That doesn't make it a DL meme. This happened five or six years ago and I haven't heard much about it since then.

R1, a Datalounger was rendered apoplectic by the placement of Julianne Moore in the poster for [italic]The Hours[/italic] and could only manage to get out, "Julianne Moore?? Seriously????"

Seriously.

Red Dragon, abridged: Datalounger rolls up to the cheese counter and wants to buy some Red Dragon cheese. (I want to say it was two pounds, but I don't remember.) Cheese bitch tells him that she can't sell him that amount. DL bitch asks why. She says she won't have enough for her regular customers. Datalounger demands his cheese, pointing out that she has more than enough to give him the amount he wants. Cheese bitch replies, "I DON'T KNOW YOU."

I have been on this site since before 2001 and I have never seen the Larry meme OP. Certainly never outside the original thread. Its not a meme-stop trying to make "fetch" happen. The one I don't understand is Bai Ling.

R11, it shows up in nearly every Harry/Louis thread on here, has for years. That's a meme.

by Anonymousreply 20March 14, 2021 11:46 AM

We didn't discuss "Larries" per se, they just showed up and started threads about the alleged relationship between the two One Direction members.

This was not a DL thing per se--Larries exist elsewhere online--but they must have figured "gay board, we can do there to discuss gay relationships" --especially since the other 1D fans did not like the Larries.

They were here en masse and then they weren't.

Sort of like the crazy fraus who would show up to post that Gale Harold was actually bisexual or gay and in a relationship with his QAF co-star, or why they still show up to post about Armie Hammer and Tim C being in a relationship too--they want to believe that QAF and CMBYN were real.

What's particularly sad is that these are not the 14 year old girls you'd expect to be into this sort of thing (and quickly grow out of it when real boys get interested in them) but middle aged women with sad lives.

Much has been written about why these women want otherwise straight men to be gay, but R3 gives a good sum up.

Was Lorna Luft molested and by whom?

by Anonymousreply 22March 14, 2021 12:06 PM

"I like blue" is my favorite DL meme though I'd never known the origins so thank you R6

It resonated because when I was in high school, we'd wound up at a party talking to a group of particularly vapid girls from another school.

One of my best friends swears that he overheard a conversation between them that went "I like your sweater" "It's red." "I like red." At which point the other three girls agreed that they too also liked red.

And so "I like red" became our own meme and continues 20 years later

Muriel, Erna, Ernst. I get that Muriel can refer to the site admins. But the other Muriel references - lost on me. Same with Erna and Ernst.

by Anonymousreply 24March 14, 2021 12:18 PM

No, r22, someone vandalized the Sid Luft Wikipedia entry to claim Lorna's book said Sid molested her. Then someone (probably the same person) came to Datalounge to try to get the fake gossip to stick. I believe he started multiple threads about it but this is the only one I could find.

Now I think most DLers believe she was really molested, but it was all just some stupid troll.

There was a thread asking about this Lorna Luft thing recently and someone had concocted this tall tale about how she'd invented a story of molestation to sell her book, but that didn't happen, either.

/ a.

Are they supposed to be the same person?

And the rage with which multiple people accuse each other of being " " within the same thread is utterly confusing.

I do at least understand that some references to " " are to the person who logs into TikTok, copies a link, and pastes it here so that - when you click on the link - you see the TikTok identity of the poster, . But I'm not sure why there's so much rage about and his TikTok threads. I don't see people lose shit over the endless "Tasteful Friends" threads. And I don't get the broader anger at over non-TikTok threads.

R24, Erna is a real person who used to go by "Mrs Patrick Campbell" and other names. He's mentally ill, a scat aficionado, and probably a former low-budget actor and producer but could just be pretending to be said actor/producer. Shows up every so often to ask about himself, but there are also trolls who pretend to be him.

"Muriel" apparently comes from "You're terrible, Muriel" from the movie Muriel's Wedding.

Ernst is a real poster I think but more than that I couldn't tell you.

by Anonymousreply 27March 14, 2021 12:23 PM

r27: might as well ask, then. Who is "Mrs. Patrick Campbell"? I see the signature line used a lot, similar to G, M, Ramsey, etc.

An actress from the 1800s, R28, he always uses names of old actresses or women for his handles. MPC happens to be close to his actual initials so that's been speculated that's why he chose it.

No, I won't post his alleged real name, so don't ask.

I remember reading one of the Jackie On Assistance threads at work, and I started laughing so hard I had to excuse myself and hide in the bathroom. I was *still* laughing so hard, and then went outside for a few minutes to calm down. I couldn't even begin to explain to my coworkers what was so funny, so I lied and said I remembered a funny joke.

Now you're trolling. This thread is starting to go in circles. OP was trolling. Out of all the memes, he chose something from obscurity that was not a meme. He wanted to start a repetitive Harry S. thread.

r16: I believe you're right. I've been haging here since the early ought's also, and remember a half-dozen or so threads speculating on Larry Stylinson, or whatever, the nature of their relationship...most DLers felt it was Harry Styles fangurls on DL, who like to think everyone inaccessible is gay as a kind of sour grapes...or because it signals how hip they are. I knew a girl in undergrad poetry workshop who had invented a whole gay Joe Cocker/Elton john/David Bowie mythology to explain why tickets to join the tour were never forthcoming. But I can't remember a serious Larry shipper thread.

hanging not haging, altho thats pretty accurate for the Stylinsons.

r49: so existence of thread equals instant meme? I think there's some confusion regarding the nature of memes. I didn't make my prior post up, I remember that. DLers wanted to track the Stylinsons down and banish them because they were adolescent fangurls and fuckt up the forum with their fangurl horseshit. Stop picking on me, I'm a paying subscriber.

Wait a minute. This is a trolling thread trying to uncover fraus fangurls and people OP wants to select out. A witch hunt.

by Anonymousreply 55March 14, 2021 2:07 PM

OP just asked what the phrase meant, r50. He's not lying about the meme existing.

The old Judy Pills copypasta usually only appeared in Judy Garland threads and it was called a meme. I see nothing wrong with OP indirectly calling the Larry phrase in his post a meme, too. If you think it doesn't qualify as a meme, say so, don't go lying about "there were no Larry shipper threads" or screaming at OP for "trying to make fetch happen."

by Anonymousreply 56March 14, 2021 2:08 PM

r49, r50 that still isnt a meme! it's just a topic that came up when Styles broke out of One Direction and he was hot, Dunkirk and all. I now choose the nuclear option
