12. You forgot: "How many bulbs does it take to change a DU Lounger?"

And the inevitable offshoots of that!

[moof]

13. 900 posts & you seem to have learned so little.

first, leaving out the Yak is just wrong.

second, no mention of Oscar ?

third, did you even have a passing thought of adding a few custom
answers that apply to just the DU or leaving out the several that in no way reflect the overall elevated level of thinking that is the
common thread of the lounge holding this group together.

forth there are more than a few that would be happy to have the light burn out as feeling your way around in the dark had it's own advantages.

fifth. HELLO Earth to person that claims to post at the Lounge.
nothing about captioning or the evil dowers bfee.

6. One word " Oscar "

[Bake]

14. Plus the three men of M.A.T.C.O.M.

I don't know what they'd do, but they'd sure as hell be there. Probably trying to hijack the thread!
