official voting thread for Top DUmmies of 2015: VOTING CLOSED
« on: December 07, 2015, 05:46:32 PM »
Welcome to the balloting thread for the Top DUmmies of 2015!

Actually, this thread doesn’t have any ballots, as voting’s by secret ballot only; one’s to e-mail one’s selections to

ralphwiggumcave@outlook.com

Voting used to be public, on a thread such as this, but it gave lurking primitives too much of a reasonable idea how each of them were doing—and if they weren’t doing well, they stopped coming here—and the selections are supposed to be a surprise.

Using the secret ballot keeps them coming back, over and over again, until it’s over.

- - - - - - - - - -

One is asked to vote for ten primitives for Top DUmmie.

One is also requested to rank one’s top five choices (the second five can merely be listed, nothing more), from first to fifth.

One’s top choice is then given 5 votes, one’s second choice 4 votes, one’s third choice 3 votes, and one’s fourth and fifth choices 2 votes.  And then the lower five get one vote each.

Weighted voting is used so as to ensure that only legitimate bona fide primitives are selected.  Further on down the roster, it doesn’t matter, but high up on the roster, it matters a great deal.

So don’t simply list ten primitives; rank the top five, and list the second five.

- - - - - - - - - -

One is asked to vote for one primitive for the William Rivers Pitt award, the “Willie.”

The “Willie” is given to the most-memorable primitive since the emergence from under the seas of Skins’s island on January 20, 2001.  It’s a one-time award, previous winners not eligible.  Please select only from the ballot, no write-ins.

2014 DainBramaged
2013 undergroundpanther
2012 Alan Grayson 
2011 nadinbrzezinski 
2010 BouncyBall (tie) 
2010 William Pitt (tie) 
2009 TomInTib

- - - - - - - - - -

Voting takes place beginning now until circa suppertime Tuesday December 15.

After one has voted, but then later wishes to change a vote or two or three, one can do that just so long as it’s done by the deadline.

There will be a twelfth award, the franksolich, but that’s not one that’s voted on;  It’s awarded the primitive whom franksolich deems worthy of Top DUmmiehood but was overlooked by the people.

Awards will be dispensed the week between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, with the Top DUmmie of 2015 being the final, and biggest one.

- - - - - - - - - -

Okay, so the obvious question; if voting’s by secret ballot only, why a thread for which public comments are solicited?

Some like their votes to be public, and this is the place to do it.  But remember, votes listed on this thread are not counted as votes; to be counted, votes must be e-mailed to the address given above.

Others like to “campaign” for their favorite primitives, to sway the undecided voters, and this is the place to do it.  Feel free to promote, boost, talk up, your favorite primitives, telling the undecideds why they deserve their votes.

Ballot to come, as soon as I’m done printing it up.

So many wonderful choices.
My personal favorite being the boston bean primitive.
Her stupidity is monumental. DUct tape can't fix that, but, it would muffle the sound.
 
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

You know, one "aid" to helping one decide the "Willie," for the most memorable primitive, is to take this:



and then imagine whose ugly mug belongs where George Washington's is.

If I had photoshopping skills, I'd put Chief S itting Bull in place of George Washington, California Peggy in place of Thomas Jefferson, the Bostonian Drunkard in place of Theodore Roosevelt, and the cousin nadin in place of Abraham Lincoln.

If Skins ever wants to build a Mount Rushmore of the four most famous primitives, I'm in for a hundred bucks, to help it along.

You know Dorkio and Judy are checking this thread several times a day or more.

Reading the above posts is making me want to vote for Redstone since I think he would look great on Mt. Rushmore.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that, plus overlooking one candidate (since corrected).

Now one can see why I had to drop doing this; the memory slips too often.

Keep the voting up, my friends!  I've already been overwhelmed with private messages & emails.

Ralphie decided to add a special award this year.  It doesn't involve a vote or any specific DUmmy.  But I believe it will be appreciated & understood.

What about the "franksolich" award ?

I think it should be renamed the "nadin's cousin coach franksolich" award", or "the cousin" award for short.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
