I'm still pondering my general DotY votes, however I'm settled on the special awards so I'll put those votes in now.

The “Willie,”:
Omaha Steve - having a web-site dedicated to one's socialist ramblings on the DUmp is pretty impressive, he's a lucky man having such good friends as to help get his message out there. I was tempted by nads raconteur extrodinaire, but she's been trying too hard and her quality is definitely fading so I've decided she shouldn't get any votes this year.

The “Steve,”:
Omaha Steve - I'm afraid that it has to be. Having been given so much advice and doing the precise opposite...and reaping the consequences. It is only fitting that he wins the inaugural award of this eponymous laurel.

The “Rob,”:
Systematic Chaos - he loves us so much that I think he deserves an award, and is constantly amusing in his bleatings.

Willie - Alan Grayson.

He's in congress and DU, in all of it's glory, is found by nadining his name.

Steve - HopeHoops.

Seriously, talking to women in a worse manner than a horny sailor in Pusan, and then sending his wife to defend him.

Rob - Alan Grayson.

One word here, COURAGE.

Top DUmmies, in no particular order

You know, because what we wanted to happen early last month didn't happen, I consider the big guy's campaign to be the top story of the year from Skins's island.  I wish it'd been second place, but that wasn't to be.

In an ideal world, the big guy would be winner of all three special awards, for spreading the good name of Skins's island out into the real world, especially in the Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area, and among law-enforcement staff looking for light amusement on the roof of Nebraska, the floor of South Dakota.

And then of course being his own worst enemy, and also being hilariously funny to read.

The Triple Crown of DUmmiedom: the Willie, the Steve, the Rob.

It could all be the big guy's but someone forgot to nominate him for the Rob.

As with the pie-and-jam primitive, grasswire, I kept my eye on the Las Vegas Leviathan all year long, but rarely posted much of his stuff, because it was just one or two comments buried in campfires discussing other issues, and not worth bringing over here on their own.

grasswire and the Las Vegas Leviathan are my biggest "fans," which surprises me, because franksolich has never been anything but concerned for the addled pie-and-jam primitive, and solicitous for the health of the Las Vegas Leviathan.  If they knew me in real life, they'd agree I'm a nice guy, one of the nicest guys they've ever met.

It dismays me, some of the nasty names the Las Vegas Leviathan called me.

When writing his award--and I'm sure he's going to get at least one--I'll try to redress this imbalance.

Systematic Chaos cant help it, coach.  He has never taken responsibility for anything in his life.  It's always the high school bullies,  (which is hilarious, a guy Steve's size was approached by several players on the first day of school about being coming out to practice, the smallest player on the team made the hardest pitch.)  Later, he's always had depression or a physical condition he could use as a crutch.  It's all well and good for him, I suppose.

Then someone comes along and proves he doesn't have to be the invalid he claims to be.  He hates that.

That might be a requirement in the future, if any funny business is detected in e-mail votes (nothing funny has been detected yet, though).

There were some changes this year, which might or might not lower participation in the Top DUmmies contest.

First of all, nominations were accepted only from regular members of conservativecave.  This is because in the past, we used to get some really off-the-wall nominations from other sources.  The DUmpster here is the largest-known repository of primitivia on the internet, and it's reasonable to assume that members here are rather, uh, more expert on individual primitives than members of other sites.

By doing that, the number of nominations was cut down considerably, and what evolved was a good, solid, strong slate of candidates, no silly or frivolous ones.

One used to also be able to vote on a voting thread at our old home, a place for which we all have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration, especially under its new ownership, but participation in the thread over there was so minimal so as to not be worth the time and trouble of always checking it.

It needs noted though that members of our old home who aren't members here, can still vote via e-mail.

Also, members of the DUmmie FUnnies on freerepublic occasionally "voted" on threads over there, but that's a no-go this year.  And again, members of the DUmmie FUnnies who aren't members here, can still vote via e-mail.

Hell, even primitives on Skins's island can vote via e-mail, but just as with decent and civilized people, only one time.  The DUmpster is not a corrupt big-city Democrat machine, after all.

All votes via e-mail, as in the past, are kept strictly confidential. 

This "tightening up" the rules wasn't anything personal; it's just that things got out of hand over the years, taking up more and more of Mr. Wiggum's and franksolich's time.  And real life in December is a busy time for us too.  And it became even more imperative this year, when the Top DUmmies became a one-man operation.

I'm not complaining--no way, not at all, as it's been a lot of fun--but this all-over-the-place chaos and confusion and skirting the rules is the reason this is franksolich's last year promoting the Top DUmmies.  It's been a lot of fun--it's been glorious, exhilarating--but the Top DUmmies is best not run by someone who has the habit of trying to please everybody all the time.

I can understand that sentiment, but I see it the opposite way.

In my ideal world, the weeping neckbeard would finish no higher than fourth in any category.

It would confirm his lifelong status as a consistent, incompetent loser.

A win would be the highlight of his miserable life.

From a primitive Christmas Carol, featuring the hippywife primitive Mrs. Alfred Packer as the visited, and franksolich as Christmases Past, Present, and To Come, as they soar over the country, observing how other primitives are observing the holiday:

Quote
Mrs. Alfred Packer and franksolich were now soaring westward, finally coming down in front of a home in suburban Omaha, wherein lived the big guy and his wife Marta.

It was Christmas Eve there too, and the big guy’s children were there, sitting around the dining room table as Omaha Steve showed them something, three screws.

“These are from my chair at my desk at the Omaha police department,” the big guy explained.  “I took them out this afternoon, and then when I go back to work the day after Christmas, I’ll sit down and come crashing to the floor, hurting my back.

“Fat city,” the big guy roared; “a six-figure sum as settlement for having been hurt by defective property, and a life-time ride on the disability gravy-train.”

I think this sums up the character of the big guy rather well.

You make a compelling case, GOBUCKS. For Omaha Steve to lose the first-ever award named in his honor--well, it would be rather fitting, no? You almost persuade me.

Now as I understand it, we have until 12-12 (SUPPER TIME!) to possibly change our vote. I did vote for Marginal of Omaha, but now I am rethinking that decision. But before I switch, I would like to hear a case made for any or all of the OTHER nominees for the Stevie ("the primitive who’s been his own worst enemy the past year, making an ass of himself without any help from anybody else").

You know, Nads would be perfect for the Steve--it's like she has a permanent "KICK ME" sign on her backside. But, alas, she was not nominated. And Pitt could get a lifetime Steve, sliding from international best-selling author/up-and-coming pundit/Pied Piper/Wunderkind of the DUmp to, now, a plump, middle-aged, sometime-bouncer/Barcalounger pilot.  But he too was not nominated for the Steve.

Here ARE the Steve nominees. Somebody tell me why I should vote for these people, other than for Marginal of Omaha himself.

AviationPro
demtenjeep
Dob Bole
Hope Hoops
NNN0LHI
Omaha Steve
PCIntern
Systematic Chaos

The only two I featured prominently in a DUFU this year were AviationPro and PCIntern. So I might go for one of them. But I will listen to arguments in favor of any of the nominees.

You know, sir, it's unfortunate the DUmmie FUnnies never covered the www.electstevedawes.com controversy while it was going on, because with the lack of Skins's island exploding election night--unfortunately that never happened--that was the big story on Skins's island for 2012.

I know it's a policy, and a well-observed policy, of the DUmmie FUnnies to avoid "borrowing" from other sites, and using its own original material from its own "finds."  You after all want to be an original, not an imitator.  Which is great; this is why I myself have always avoided the "Best/Worst of DU" forum at our old home, never even looking at the thread titles, lest I be accused of stealing someone else's goodies.

That's a great policy.

However, it's okay if one comes across something really juicy or crunchy, to swipe it and use it for one's own purposes.

We're on the same side, after all.

You know, sir, it's unfortunate the DUmmie FUnnies never covered the www.electstevedawes.com controversy. . . .

It wasn't like I was determined NOT to do a DUFU on Omaha Steve. It's just that it never jumped out at me, in a quick and easy way, as especially DUFUable, given my métier and my time constraints. I just didn't have time to get into the Steve Dawes Situation like we did the Andy Stephenson Situation back in the day.

I scan the DUmp from time to time, when I have time, and I see what tickles my FUnnie bone. That's usually what I go with. Now I do also scan what's going on here at the Cave, and I often get leads on threads I end up DUFUing. So this forum IS a big help to me in finding material.

I don't always have time to devote to DUFUing. My real-life workload has increased quite a bit this year. And my DUmmie FUnnies partner, PJ-Comix, has dropped off significantly in his DUFU output over the last couple years, spending more time on couponing and his blog at NewsBusters. So not everything gets covered. C'est la vie.

Thanks for the insight, Charles.

The DUmpster is a public service, and especially for those on our side, we don't care if someone finds something here and adapts it for his own purposes.  We don't even ask for credit, because the "message" is more important than who found it first.

The DUmmie FUnnies of course are original ideas, but I always thought that if something remarkable, something extraordinary, happened on Skins's island, and the DUmpster was the first to notice it, then anyone on our side could be excused for "swiping" an idea.

We're a public service, offered for the Good of Humanity.

I guess I was sort of disheartened that the DUmmie FUnnies didn't cover the www.electstevedawes.com issue in at least a single edition, as that was surely something remarkable, something extraordinary.

And think of it--what with freerepublic being so large as compared with the DUmpster (nay, even compared with Skins's island itself), and having s-o-o-o-o-o many members from the Omaha-Council Bluffs area--you could've made the big guy a superstar.

Don't you or anybody else on our side ever hesitate to use an inspiration from the DUmpster; that's what we're here for, as the largest known repository of primitivia on the internet.

<<always happy to be of service.

Next time.

With Socialist Steve Dawes, there's always a next time. His time in the spotlight hasn't started to fade by a long shot. Will it eclipse his run for council? Maybe, maybe not.

All I can state with certainty is that OS will be in the headlines again.

OK, I nominated Dob Bole for the reasons coming from this thread  LINKO

Trying to extort money (no surprise there, yet he retracted it later), only we found out he is actually a libertarian.  A clear violation of DUmp policy.

You know, there was one primitive all of us forgot to nominate--not for Top DUmmie, because he wasn't ever that prominent, but for the Steve, for being his own worst enemy, making an ass of himself.

That primitive who worked as a booking agent for concerts in a small town in Illinois, who blabbed on Skins's island that he and his boss were upset about Ray Charles (or some other celebrity; I dunno) supporting family values, and wouldn't book him.

And then his comments got back to his boss, and others in that town.

So he went to the meta forum and cautioned the other primitives about disclosing too much personal information.

Anybody remember that?  Alas, I don't even remember the name of the primitive.

We know such acts like Ted Nugent would sell out here very quickly but have pledged never to book him.

My votes for the pill snorting morons are as follows:

The Willie:  
Alan Grayson (Who better to carry the banner?  From the bowels of the DUmp to the Halls of Congress!  Forward, retards!)

The Stevie:  
Omaha Steve (Maybe The Cave can help 'ol bucket ass achieve something beyond 3rd rate union mediocrity.)

The Robbie:  
lunatica (No explanation necessary, this chick should be charging admission for that comedy show.)

Top DUmmies:

Arctic Dave (Maybe between him and his wife, he can achieve some type of electoral victory.)
AviationPro (Who doesn't love this ****ing ****?)
demtenjeep (If she wins, she might finally be able to progress towards the light.)
grasswire (Crazy Aunt Judy needs something to hang her hat on...)
Hope Hoops (Captain "***** Pad")
kpete (DU's very own Bruce Wayne.)
nadinbrzezinski (Keeping up that kind of frantic lunacy for two years straight ain't easy.)
Stinky the Clown (Just because he's an internet laughing stock.)
Systematic Chaos (A fatass moocher that can earn something his wife didn't have to work for.)
w8liftinglady (Giver of the star and coveter of "benefits".)

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

For the Willie:  Alan Grayson

For the Steve, the "own worst enemy" award, I'm going to go with Systematic Chaos.  Just because his case of "own worst enemy" is the most serious of all of them.  And it impacts us as taxpayers. 

For the Rob, the hilarity award, I'm going with RSmith.  Not only are his bouncies entertaining, the illiterate style that he uses to write them is magnificent.

The Top Ten:

AviationPro
BantheGOP, the little dicktator
Big Dumb Darryl, cause he's just so DUmb.
Dainbramaged
Demtenjeep
Denninmi
Grasswire
Hope Hoops, the vulgar pig
Horse with no name.  Wonder how the house remodel is coming along?

You know, I'm wondering.

A couple of weeks ago Ms. Ed was boasting about spending $35,000 on remodeling her house.

But then just only a few days ago, Ms. Ed was whining that she can afford a ham-bone for ham soup only once a year.

One wonders what's up with that.

Well, that absurd tale about rebuilding her hovel inside and out for $35K was obviously a bouncy.

Her motivation may have been to counteract the publicity her singlewide in that dusty, crappy Texas trailer park has been getting.

The hambone problem may be due to a slowdown in her dick inspection business.

No boners, no hambone.

After three days of voting, with seven more to go, and not counting the six who voted by g-mail thus far (always the "wild card" here, to help the suspense), these are the early leaders:

Willie: Alan Grayson
Steve: Omaha Steve
Rob: nadinbrzezinski

Top DUmmie: BanTheGOP
