There's nothing a dragon likes more than a good sausage sizzle, so it's going to be a tough job! - petaj, 2007-06-07: 08:25:00

it sounds like there's no sausage left but barbecued ribs would make a tasty treat - perhaps he could tempt him with a tofoot kebab (oops I meant tofu kebab) - great word galwaywegian - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-07: 10:18:00

Etymology: redo (do something again or differently) + doofus (a stupid person)
