***** DIY DUzy Thread II (In which we try again) ***** [View all]

[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.

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?
