2012: Top DUmmie #05-b (DainBramaged)
« on: December 24, 2012, 09:31:44 PM »
Congratulations to DainBramaged, a #05 Top DUmmie of 2012!

The brain-damaged primitive’s no stranger to the top DUmmies, having been #04 Top DUmmie in 2011, and #07 Top DUmmie in 2010.  Over time, he’s become one of the most recognizable and entertaining primitives.

The brain-damaged primitive, 60 years old and from New Jersey, has never posted a photograph of himself, but it takes hardly any imagination to figure out what he looks like.  He’s stated his height at 5’10” and his weight at 240 pounds, and one can extrapolate from that.  He’s got a square head, a carbuncled face, a bug-eye, one of those eyes that never moves, and coarse, stubby fingers.

He perhaps walks with a slight limp.

The brain-damaged primitive’s never mentioned--if he has, it was uncaught by observers of primitives--how it came to be that something went wrong on the inside of his head, but one can reasonably speculate he either had his brain on drugs for a while, or got them scrambled in a motorcycle accident.

- - - - - - - - - -

The brain-damaged primitive works on a computer, keyboarding in one of those large offices with hundreds of other people and shoulder-high partitions.  One has no idea what he’s keyboarding, perhaps names and addresses for magazine subscriptions, but he used to be an “information tech” for the automotive industry.

During the George Bush prosperity of 2001-2007, he was doing so well he was even an independent businessman, working out of his home.  Unfortunately, he didn’t remember that the Internal Revenue Service was also seeing his prosperity, and some time after the Pelosi-Reid slump of 2007-2009, and then the current 0bamaDepression, began, the brain-damaged primitive got zapped with a rather huge bill from them.

Man oh man, did he whine about that; the injustice of it all, being expected to pay taxes.

- - - - - - - - - -

The brain-damaged primitive is an odd bird; despite his age, he still talks “baby-talk” of animals, especially dogs and cats.  Not to them, but when writing of them.  He constantly refers to canines as “woggies” and to felines as “kittehs.”

Just as a babbling three-year old child might.

(One has no idea how he talks to animals, but if he “baby-talks” to them, outside of the hearing of decent and civilized people, one supposes that’s okay; after all, franksolich quotes Shakespeare to the cats here, using the tone of his voice to calm them, or reassure them.)

- - - - - - - - - -

The brain-damaged primitive is also fond of using an ancient Anglo-Saxon word, perhaps thinking it’s a good attention-getter, but on that he’s wholly wrong.  Nobody pays attention the expletive; they pay rather more attention to the name of the primitive lighting a campfire, and when one sees “DainBramaged” on the computer screen, one just goes there to see what’s up, without bothering reading the title.

There were days during 2012 whenever one went to “General Discussion” on the old DU, that the front page was dominated by campfires lit by the brain-damaged primitive, their titles monotonously the same, “**** George Bush,” “**** Chris Christie,” “**** Republicans,” “**** Christians,” “**** conservatives,” “**** capitalists,” “**** George Romney,” “**** Newt Gringrich,” “**** Rick Santorum,” “**** Sarah Palin,” “**** pre-born infants,” “**** rich people,” “**** the automobile industry,” “**** the new DU,” “**** the drug industry,” “**** ingrown toenails,” ad nauseam.

The guy’s obviously not the creatively-articulate sort.

- - - - - - - - - -

During much of 2012--in fact up until only recently--the brain-damaged primitive boycotted the new DU (installed in December 2011), instead hanging around the slowly-sinking old DU, with a few other reactionary primitives who can’t get with the program, change with the times, adapt to new things.

One’s impressed that apparently “change” of any nature discombobulates the brain-damaged primitive; that he wants everything to remain exactly the same as it’s always been.

That’s a serious mental disorder, by the way.  Don’t rely on franksolich’s word; just ask any psychologist or psychiatrist or other mental-health professional.  The inability to adapt can sometimes be so bad it gets one institutionalized.

- - - - - - - - - -

His major whine was that, at first, the new DU didn’t allow for “ignore lists,” and so he couldn’t transfer his from the old to the new, which caused the brain-damaged primitive to jump up-and-down and carry on like an old lady with haemorrhoids.

One would’ve thought his precious “ignore list” was the family jewels or something, the way he constantly yelped about it.

One assumes it’s longer than even the oblate spheroid’s “iggy list.“  This is not a guy who wants to waste his time listening to things he doesn’t want to hear; the brain-damaged primitive is hostile to illumination.

Which is a symptom of yet another grievously-serious mental disorder.

- - - - - - - - - -

The brain-damaged primitive is not an exemplar of how to grow old gently and graciously.

One of his most-amusing practices is to bitch and moan about living in a red area of New Jersey.

And he doesn’t merely live in a red area; he lives in the reddest county of the whole entire northeastern Atlantic coast.

And boy oh boy, does he bitch about it.

Now, a reasonable person can see that New Jersey’s a pretty small state, and that it doesn’t take much to get from one place to another.  All the brain-damaged primitive has to do is move a few blocks, and boom! he’s suddenly in dark blue territory.  Why he doesn’t do that escapes one.

One noted with interest the brain-damaged primitive recently commented that he’s safe in his neighborhood, no crime, no guns, conveniently omitting to remind other primitives where he lives, in a Republican-dominated place.

- - - - - - - - - -

The brain-damaged primitive’s never been known to be grateful for anything, never been known to say a nice word about anybody.  He’s a wretched, miserable excuse for a human being, and so one suspects he really doesn’t want to take a seat and dine at the banquet of Life.

During the recent storms that afflicted New Jersey, one hoped he might get his wish, a big tree or a loose power-line falling on him, but alas such was not to be.  He’s still around to entertain us for 2013, and might even exceed his performance as #05 top DUmmie next year.

- - - - - - - - - - -
 

Merry Christmas, and rejoice, for God Is.

…..and laugh too, because there’s not a damned thing the primitives can do about it.

By the way, I'm enforcing a new policy for the final eight top DUmmies and two special awards; the next primitive up doesn't get posted until the primitive immediately preceding has gotten comments from at least ten members here.

No comments, no next primitive.

Sorry to be a hardass about it, but I must.

Ten comments?  Well, I have nothing nice to say about the primitives, but I will say thank you to Frank for doing this.  I don't follow the primitives as closely as some here do and these write ups help put a description to the name.

To all here, the same sentiments.  As well as all of the Top DUmmies of 2012!
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

A few years back on DUll, 2 of my moles got into it with BrainDamaged on one of his really DUmbazz threads. Both moles received PM's from a couple of prominent primitives apologizing for his rather strange behavior because, you know, he really is brain damaged!

Even his fellow DUmpMonkees treat him like the crazy Aunt in the attic as they know that he "ain't right in the head".

I had the thread and the PM's saved somewhere but they are are lost to a blowout of a hard drive and have disappeared with the implementation of DUlll.

Then he became a democrat.

Can't think of anything more to say about a thoroughly boring DUmmy.

Not as boring as the useless, worthless Mike Pantano, but terribly boring nonetheless.

If Braindamaged finished this high, it's a sad commentary on the DUmp's bench strength.

He's mentioned an adult daughter, to whom he's very attached.

A wife, never, but maybe he was once married, and she couldn't stand him and left.

 So I can call myself what I choose. BY THE WAY, with this I decided to just put you on ignore. If you can't share who you are with us, Iam not interested in conversing with you any longer.

so not much has changed with him since. He told too much in that thread.

Maybe the tumor was so big by that time they took out what little brain remained? Or maybe when they removed the tumor it was called Videodrome?
