I'm not going to bother closing and locking this thread, as it's colder than Hades out here in the Sandhills of Nebraska, and I'm headed for under the covers and won't come out in time to do that. It's going to be this way for a few days, this deep freeze.
Mr. Wiggum may accept votes until such time he himself chooses not to; it's not a big deal with me.
I'll be back Friday to un-"sticky" the nomination and campaigning threads and shove them up into the DUmping Ground, the reference-section of the DUmpster.
I thought it was pretty much understood that anybody was eligible to vote, provided they gave Mr. Wiggum evidence of their being bona fide. That of course includes members of our old home, conservativeunderground, whose input and votes of course have always been eagerly sought.
I didn't post any announcement of the Top DUmmies over there simply because based upon past experience, I myself never got any reaction other than a bored "ho-hum." And so not wanting to be a nag, a nuisance.....
I'm not sure when the Ralph is going to come out, but if it comes out when I'm not around, I'd appreciate either Carl or SSG Snuggle Bunny "sticky"ing it to the top of the forum, as Mr. Wiggum can't do that himself.
The William Rivers Pitt award, for the most-memorable primitive of the past 15 years (who hasn't yet won the award), will come out Christmas Eve, Saturday, December 24, after which each of the Top DUmmies of 2016, in backwards order, beginning with #10, will come out.
The next-to-the-last award, the franksolich, for a primitive who should've been one of the top ten but wasn't, will come out the morning of New Year's Eve, Saturday, December 31.
The big one, the #01 Top DUmmie of 2016 will come out some time that afternoon or evening of the same day, in time for one to celebrate the incoming New Year.
