Post about another DUer(s) you've met and something memable they did!
Me - I'll always remember the Oct 2002 protest in Washington DC in which 40+ DUers joined in with another 500+ to protest the upcoming war. We had found out at the Free Republic sight that the organizers of their counter-protest spent $3000 on Portapotties. (mind you, like 30 people showed up for their rally).

The funniest moment was when all us DUers were marching along, we passed the freeper rally. Matcom, DS1 and Underpants decided to invade their portapotties. It was a hoot to watch!

10. You could do an ad for Ford trucks
"Hey, we drove into this ditch and there wasn't even a scratch on it!"

The Curse of Devil's Backbone strikes again! :evilgrin:

But, thanks to Blue-Jay's awesome camera wielding skills, all we got was a blurry picture of Hedges's back.

54. A Toto style dog
Having trouble with the pedigree, but I think Cairn Terrier + poodle. A woman who owns a couple Schipperkes thinks there may be some of that in her too, because of her walk.

She's about a year old and I still need to get her fixed. She's black and wants to catch all the squirrels and crows. And kitties. and dogs. We are working on curbing those desires.

She is very smart.

She's in love with Ben, the Springer Spaniel next door and he's the omega to her alpha.

I bought her tiny tennis balls today and we went to a park and played 'Brang It!' or 'Fetch.'

She weighs 10 lbs. She's totally fab.

47. Wait - do you mean "memorable" or "memable"?
as in meme-able.

Because the portypottie thing has certainly become a meme.
