poll: which primitives do you miss the most?
« on: September 14, 2011, 08:02:43 AM »
One may vote for ten.  One may also change one's vote if one wishes.

Anyway.

Now that the frost is on the pumpkin, meaning that the year's winding down, one sits back and remembers the days of yore, specifically the primitives of yore.  Primitives who've either left this time and place, or primitives who just swam away from Skins's island.

And with the imminent riding-off-into-the-sunset of Redstone and Systematic Chaos, the list stretches.

Now, normally, we all wish the primitives would hurry up and self-destruct, as they must inevitably, perishing in a frenzied orgiastic paroxysm of rage and Hate, for the Greater Good of Humanity.

And for the planet, too.  The "average" human expels circa 11 tons of solid intestinal matter in his or her lifetime, which is a lot of excresence.  And given the gluttonous nature of the primitives, probably the average primitive dumps a lot more.  One supposes, for example, that Systematic Chaos has put out a virtual Mount Everest.

Alas! poor Mother Gaia! alas!

So yeah, sure, we wish they'd self-extinct, the primitives.  As does the overburdened planet.

However.

One can't watch and study the primitives on Skins's island for any great length of time without acquiring a certain fondness for some of them.

The above's a list of primitives from the past, who aren't around Skins's island any more.  I just pulled them off the top of my head, when recollecting (and thus the "other" option).  Does anyone miss any of these primitives, in a nostalgic sense?

I chose hippywife because I like to get away from politics sometimes and the cooking and baking forum gets me away from it, but it's been so darn slow there.

You still have nine more votes, though.

And one can change one's votes later, too.

Can one really "miss" bobolink?  There wasn't a whole lot about her that was positive.

OMC, hippywife, TiT, and bobo.  Only for the entertainment value.

I would vote for TLB but I don't want to stain her memory by putting her in with those idiots.

Just give a couple of clicks on the scope.  Kidding!

Seriously, she was comedy gold.  Wondering why she decided to drop off the face of DU.

There was nothing about bobbolink that was positive.

Hence the entertainment and educational value.  I regard her as an Internet version of a Jerry Springer Show episode.  I look at them, I look at her, and realize that no matter how bad my life gets, I'll never be as ****ed up as THEM.

I did think about voting for a few others but I just did the 1 vote simply because that forum was kind of my escape from politics so I miss her the most.

I can't stand the guy, but I miss Hawkeye-X, because he was such a quintessential DUmmie.  I did choose TiT and BouncyBall for the entertainment value.  Also OMC for the way he smacked the DUmmies around, and Hippywife because we have a certain affection for her.

I thought about putting the cross-eyed Iowa primitive on the list, but disremember why I didn't--hence the "other" option here.

Nominations for the top DUmmies are coming up in ten weeks, and this thread was created specifically for "reference material" when the "lifetime achievement award" is considered (i.e., it'll be linked with the nomination thread).

Thinking about it now, saves on pressure during the nomination holiday.

Bouncy Ball and TiT for the entertainment value and Bobo for the amazing ability to make any thread concerned with any aspect of poverty about her. The way she was able to shoot down any dissenting opinion with her "I live in a car so shut up" gambit was pure idiot-savant like genius.

My vote was more-or-less evenly split between those who had the lucid moments which fueled some great flamewars (OMC, TLB, etc.) and those truly over-the-edge idiots that make DU what it is (Mythsaje, flyarm, Bobo the Hobo, etc.).

Stella Blue, TominTib, Bouncyball, Diseased American, and other because I do actually miss OLL (old lefty lawyer).

Edited to add: Has Bobo actually been tombstoned?  Would someone be kind enough to post a link please? Thanks!

I miss all the liquored up drunks and druggies in the Lounge.  Many nights I stayed up laughing and being shocked by their fights.

Distressed American for his purely mornonic "PhD" viewpoints.

TominTib because, well, he kicked Rambo and John Wayne's ass that time in 'Nam while in the Marines working as an Army Ranger on a SEAL team...or something.

And OMC because he had a little real class.

Fister and TiT were the hype "men" for DU. Always calling for murders of Freepers, etc.

armyowalgreens is another that is missed.

Oh, ArmyoWalgreens, I forgot about him.  He was such a dumb loser, always getting himself in a bind and never learning from it.  I believe he wanted to go to college to major in Phillosophy, but I don't believe he lasted the semester.  Wasn't it him who went apoplectic when his Econ prof insisted on covering Reaganomics?

MoPaul/Philosoraptor is another. Bringing down the Secret Service on $kinner's office was a stroke of brillance.
