lushchick82 May 14, 2006	I enjoyed this one. Thank you!
choptlivva May 14, 2006	Good one!!
wizofaus May 14, 2006	Clever, except for many of us 'dew' and 'due' sound like "Jew", not "do".
jazzmusician46 May 14, 2006	Dew sounds like Jew....not 'do'.
ErIn_RuLeS May 15, 2006	pretty good...jest the dew part mixed me up but still good..!
kimberlykay May 15, 2006	Very clever. According to my dictionary, there is no "J" sound at the beginning of any of them. In America do, dew, and due are all pronounced with a "D" sound. You can check the American Heritage Dictionary on line. It provides audio of how to say the word in case anyone would care to check it out.

schatzy228 Jun 01, 2006	well woo hoo double you leave the jew in the pew it was a very good (easy) teaser
BadBunnee02 Jun 03, 2006	Great rebus/teaser. I'm glad to see you got it accepted by the eds. Even though "do", "dew", "due" are not pronounced EXACTLY the same, they are close enough for a punned rebus. Hope to see some more.
metallicman Jun 09, 2006	This was a really good rebus. I have to take notes...
basketball101 Jun 30, 2006	that was a cute teaser
vbguy101 Aug 20, 2006	Good one! Hey, whatup90306, where'd you get the special characters?
jsdodgers Sep 13, 2006	Good One
MalcolmReynolds Nov 24, 2006	"Clever, except for many of us 'dew' and 'due' sound like "Jew", not "do"." It's do the Dew, not do the Jew.
timon_dmlybots Jul 09, 2007	ok...
crazylady2 Sep 12, 2007	I have to agree with spazzyjazzy93! I don't get it either.
bradon182001 Sep 12, 2007	I get it, but I still have to agree with Timon and Crazylady.
craniac Sep 12, 2007	I'm sorry, but I have to agree this rebus is faulty because of the different pronunciation of due and dew. It's not in fact a two do list, due and dew both being pronounced to rhyme with you, not with do. I give it a D, make it a C- for effort.
4princesses Sep 12, 2007	I got it pretty quickly. I am amazed sometimes when I read the comments. This a rebus, not a pronunciation lesson. The words are all forms of do, therefore, "two do" list! Thanks for a good teaser!
doehead Sep 12, 2007	A little offbeat but ok.
1smart_okie Sep 12, 2007	You should have had 2 of the dos!
puttumup3 Sep 12, 2007	2do or not to do
dennisinaz Sep 12, 2007	Great teaser, I missed it. Dictionary.com lists the primary pronunciation of all three words as 'doo'. Although there are secondary listings of 'dyoo' for Due and Dew, I'm not sure why so many chose to complain. Good work.
hradilv Sep 12, 2007	I liked it. Funny!
lilredc5 Sep 12, 2007	I guess this was a targeted rebus. I live in Chicago, and here 'do', 'dew' and 'due' are all pronounced EXACTLY the same, as confirmed by aforementioned dictionary. Or refer to any Mountain Dew commercial to witness their rendition of their tag line 'Do the Dew' where they happen to avoid the questionably offensive pronounciation 'Do the Jew' in favor of the more accurate, significantly catchier 'do the do'. So seriously, where are you Jew people from?
jtoupence Sep 12, 2007	I was actually thinking it was "a pile of doo doo"
jtoupence Sep 12, 2007	Sorry, I thought the answer to the rebus was "A pile of doo doo", not the rebus itself. I did not mean to offend.
BikerDank Sep 12, 2007	Where are you people from? Do, Dew and Due are all pronounced the same, when pronounced correctly.
scallio Sep 12, 2007	Very clever teaser-- I was not able to solve it. Enjoyed it though! I enjoyed reading the comments because I have been many places in this great world and never imagined that Do, Dew and Due would not be pronouned the same in all English speaking cultures. Wow! Wonder how some pronounce digeridoo compared to me?! jtoupence: Your answer was pretty funny too!
psonne Sep 12, 2007	I didn't get it at first, but it made me laugh. Nice.
swirlingmist Sep 12, 2007	Cute teaser. I was thinking poop, not the to do list.
Chellie1911 Sep 12, 2007	ok i dont get why it two do :/ cos there was 3 not two so i didnt get it
oddrey Sep 12, 2007	Where I come from, do, dew, due and jew all rhyme
jabdr Sep 12, 2007	I loved this one But it blew right past my brain as so many in the rebus category) But,it passed the 'put a smile on my face' test P.S. After all this time on this site, I'll admit, I find the constant nit pickering and criticisms ANNOYING! C'mon folks! It's BRAINGLE!!! Not a thesis .
tuckpaw Sep 12, 2007	the first thing that popped into my head was three things to do
christaffer Sep 12, 2007	I think its only America that pronounce dew and due like doo. How do they pronounce Pew then? Poo? And what about Hue? Hoo? Why so inconsistent?
sbuske Sep 12, 2007	Where are you people from that pronounce it jew? Do you have morning jew on the grass? Are your bills past jew? Jew us a favor and enjoy the teaser. So you didn't get it....move on. And who cares if you gave it a c-.Most people including myself thought it was fun.
mondayschild59 Sep 12, 2007	I loved it. Very clever and refreshing. Thanks so much for the teaser. Monday~
breathesunshine Sep 12, 2007	I thought it was a great teaser. For those who didn't get it, there's 2 do's in each line. The 3 lines make a list. Therefore a 2 do list. (And here in Maine....do, due, dew, and Jew all rhyme but not with pew or hue, which do rhyme with each other! Got that??? lol)
silverbuderfly Sep 12, 2007	I need to due the Dew !
drussel3 Sep 20, 2007	I have too many To Do Lists, loved yours though.
wordmama Sep 12, 2010	I thought it was 'a list of things to do'. As for the earlier comment, the 3 words are pronounced exactly the same. You and yew are said the same and rhyme with the first 3. Pew, few, Jew rhyme with each other, different from the previous 5. American English is NOT consistent in spelling/pronunciation!!
wandering_goat Sep 12, 2010	I guessed "due dates", which I think works too!
Fangster Sep 12, 2010	I'm going to be boring and add my two cents worth again on the pronunciation: this ONLY works if you pronounce it in the American style. "Due and Dew" are pronounced "Dyu" in the Queens English... rendering the solution difficult or incorrect. Please try to make these puzzles internationally relevant. thanks.
