***** DIY DUzy Thread II (In which we try again) *****

[center][/center]

The first thread in this experiment met with mixed results. Those are mostly my fault, I think, I really didn't provide examples of what I think will work or how I think of one way this could work.

So with many thanks to those who participated in the first thread, let's talk a bit about what the voices in my head are telling me, eh?

This thread will be most fun if the DUzy can be reasonably replicated here in a reply to this OP. People should be able to scroll through the thread and get the joke.

An example from the earlier thread (Note I'm guilty of not doing this also) of what I think might work:

Please copy the link location of the "link here" link at the bottom of the post and paste it after the excerpt. Note that more than one reply can be copied this way. This way it will be easy for people to reply to the joke without having to click away from this thread.

I want to thank everyone for helping to build a funner DU! Especially Flying Squirrel!

Oh and there are these if you want to use them as well:

If it's worth sharing, it's worth a little cut and paste, right?

I was hoping the DUzy threads would come back, although I know what a time commitment it requires.

I'm sure between the two of us we can find a way to keep themasses entertained...



(I left "themasses" together, it was an unintentional error but then I realized it could be read as both "the masses" and "them asses" - far be it from me to remove anything humorous from DU

Couple DUzy noms but not really DUzyish. Not everyone says "DUzy" anymore 'cause the awards have been spotty I think. I don't know if the do-it-yourself concept is gonna take off, but maybe it's too soon to tell.
