From Wikipedia - Re: DU.. OK, who wrote this?

[johnnie]

"New members can be confused by DU vocabulary which includes references to pop culture ("this thread needs more cowbell"), spelling that parodies other websites (such as "HUGH!", "series", and "cazy,") and famous images ("moran"), and long-running threads that have worked their way into DU lore ("dupe," "the kudzu thread")."

That made me laugh.

1. There's a DU lore???

Wow...

:-)

[johnnie]

5. Yup

I've often told it to kids at night with a flashlight under my face.

[baldguy]

12. You bet your yak there is.

[asthmaticeog]

The kudzu thread made Wikipedia?

How wonderful! Three cheers for swag!

[johnnie]

6. And it's part of our lore

:)

[supernova]

7. They should add Oscar

[baldguy]

14. He's around here somewhere.

[redqueen]

21. Aha... so Oscar isn't there yet...

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

20. Huzzah!

[MrCoffee]

[johnnie]

3. Yes we know

But anyway....




:P

[BlooInBloo]

4. Pretty good article.

[johnnie]

9. I thought it was pretty good

I'm sure it has been "edited" many times, but at least they keep it up.

[NewJeffCT]

8. and I still never looked at the kudzu thread

and, I don't remember a "dupe" thread.

[johnnie]

10. I never read that thread either

I seem to recall a "dupe" thread, but I don't remember what it was all about.

[otherlander]

11. I think it was either ZombieNixon or KitchenWitch who started the dupe thread.

[Left Is Write]

15. It was RevActs.

[otherlander]

22. Ah.

[swag]

13. I think Zombie Nixon got some of that in there,

[ZombieNixon]

16. Yeah, I think I did some of that.

:P

[LynneSin]

17. WOOHOO MY COWBELL HAS MADE DU WIKIPEDIA

:woohoo:

That's all me baby

ALthough I did not write it. I only ever wrote one Wiki entry and that was about Green Candidate Carl Romanelli (he's that senate candidate who's campaign was paid for by Rick Santorum)

[MrCoffee]

18. pretty soon, you're gonna be wearing gold-plated diapers, baby!

[Debi]

29. Kuddos to LynnSin!

:D :applause:

[redqueen]

19. ahahahaha... wow!

Did they mention Oscar? (I'm far far far too busy (lazy) to check myself. :P)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

24. I hear he perfers to remain on the lowdown.

But he could be employing reverse psychology.

[jobycom]

23. And nothing about Oscar or Please Remove? And the What Would Jesus Drive thread is just gone, I gues

Heck, we made a couple of national stories with "What Would Jesus Drive"!

Tell me I'm not the only one who remembers that?

[Texasgal]

25. I am shocked

that there is nothing mentioning CHICKEN! :devil:

[Debi]

26. Where's PEV? Why isn't pev a DU word on Wiki??? n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. And no mention of me? That's outrageous.

[Call Me Wesley]

30. At least the section about 'famous members' got removed.

Someone edited a few ones in there who sport a nice grey tombstone here. ;) Aside from egolomania, I guess. It was like I would edit my name in there ... :eyes:
