6. We're a self-perpetuating autocracy

in which the working class...



:think:



We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of ...

17. The DU Lounge is like a second cantaloupe; it can neither

be mashed nor written in Babylonian cuneiform.
I like parsley.

Here is the special Lounge initiation ceremony:

To get used to how DU works, what functions do what, et cetera.

In the little toolbar next to people's names, there are a number of items, and one of them is labelled 'Private Message'.

Private Message any four DU'ers who respond to this thread, except me of course) with this:



Subject:

Random_Australian told me you'd love this joke!

Message:

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

19. It's a very cool place on DU

Of course, all of DU is very cool. In the lounge, we laugh, we cry, we joke around, we reach out for help and support, and we lift each other up.


And, we have a totally cool band: The Naughty Girls Band! (Come on you guys, you knew I had to bring the band into this!)
