2013: the group award (the bullies)

[franksolich]

Congratulations to the bullies, winner of the 2013 group award!

The bullies had a lot of strong competition on the ballot, including the anti-gun nuts, the cooking and baking primitives, the exiles to OldElmTree, the gay mafia, the moles, the 0bamacare lemmings, and the wish-for-a-dupe beggars, and so the vote was considerably fragmented, the bullies winning out over the second-place anti-gun nuts by a mere two votes.

This is the first year of the group award, although the B0G (Barack 0bama Group) were the #06 Top DUmmie of 2010, and the bullies were the #14 Top DUmmie of 2012, the only times a group, rather than an individual primitive, has won an honor.

The bullies, as an informal group, are those primitives on cousin nadin’s famous “iggy list.”

30. Amen, She posts these to "inform" us "ignorant" folks every time any event

happens which remotely justifies such a post. Never mind that others here at DU are M.D.s and nurses and have worked in the medical field for years. Or that the rest of the DU community understands the situation perfectly well. OP is convinced that there is a very high level of ignorance that she needs to address, again and again, with a strange sort of enthusiam, reminding us that many must die! (all caps, etc.)

I appreciate that, but yesterday I screamed at a crow because he wouldn't stop calling me "Caw". That's not my ****in' name! I tried to educate him, but he kept doing it.

I ended up putting him on IGNORE.

(You know who else used to type "IGNORE" in caps? Hitler, that's who.)

105. No, the approach was condescending and talking down to everyone...

If no-one else had spoken up about it, I'd write it off as me being a bit sensitive, but other people are saying that the approach was condescending and superior....

110. Actually if I wrote it in a nice way

people would still be going it is condescending and superior...

Some folks truly, cannot handle the truth. It is not about a national origin, they just can't

116. "Cannot handle the truth"

Or more likely we were already well aware of the truth, which is not so esoteric as you'd like to believe.

NO!!! Learning cannot take place without arrogance, ahems, and bad grammar.

124. I realize this.

I kind of think of her as the RadioLady of GD.

She annoyed me at first, but now I feel sorry for her.

I think that there are some issues here.

OK... bleeding heart. Totally accept it!

Damn bullies.

[Chris_]

Congratulations, bullies!  Well done.

[freedumb2003b]

Gotta admit, that one might up for the 2019 Group of the Decade award!

[franksolich]

Okay, I'm six days ahead of myself, in awardment of the honors.

I'd started early because the weather out here in the Sandhills is wretched, and whenever the weather's bad, I have to help the neighbor.  I was worried that if I started on time (Christmas Eve), I'd fall behind because of events in real life, and not conclude on time (New Year's Eve).

I'm going to take a couple of days off before posting the top ten DUmmies and the CCA in ascending order, the remaining eleven awards, because I think six days is enough of a cushion that if I'm caught up in something and nearly frozen to death, I can finish exactly on time.

[franksolich]

Gotta admit, that one might up for the 2019 Group of the Decade award!

I was decidedly partial to the moles, real and imagined, because I thought they had a greater impact upon the behavior and inhibitions of the primitives, but obviously I didn't make a strong enough argument.

And as already noted, the anti-gun nuts almost came in first, having missed by two votes.

[ChuckJ]

I find myself being contrary. While the bullies were indeed very entertaining, they are nothing without nadin. It's like Abbott without Costello. Sunny without Cher. Nadin is the sun around which the bully solar system revolves. Nadin is the gravitational mass that holds the bullies together. I'm not so sure that the bullies could stand on their own without nadin.

With that said, I accept the will of the voters, and I do think that frank picked the best possible exchange to showcase their prowess.

[franksolich]

.....and I do think that frank picked the best possible exchange to showcase their prowess.

That was courtesy my very good friend GOBUCKS, because while I remembered it, I couldn't find it, and so he did.

[Dori]

The "bullies" are quite active in this current thread....

[Skul]

Aha!!!! My 73 votes were finally counted.
Thanks, Diebold.

[Charles Henrickson]

While I voted for the anti-gun nuts, simply because they had a particularly strong year, I am perfectly fine with the bullies winning the top honors. The bullies have been consistenly strong for several years in a row now. To me, the best of the bullies are SidDithers and zappaman.  They show real wit, which is rare among DUmmies.

[Dblhaul]

Congrats Bullies! I voted for the anti's, but you bullies beat her.... them to a pulp!

[obumazombie]

Some of the posts by the bullies are quite humorous. But I'm not sure it's intentional.
Congrats bullies !

Yes they are.  I didn't consider voting for them because I got them confused with the anti-bullies.  When I first read they won, I was appalled… until I realized the bullies were the funny folks and not the gnads ass-kissers.

I agree with your thoughts on Sid and Zap, two fine DUmmie antagonists. Yangs to the Nadin Ying.
Why do they do it?
Why do dogs chase cars and trucks? What are they going to do with it, if they catch one?

Another good, winning vote for me.

[BlueStateSaint]

The anti-gun group missed by two votes?  They were the ones I voted for.

Damn new Diebold software can't even count properly.

[Tucker]

And to collect the award for the bullies is zappaman...

[EagleKeeper]

Charles already spoke to it but I could not go without mentioning SidDithers for special consideration.

He and Zappaman are both fine bullies.

[GOBUCKS]

It never occurred to me during the nomination process, but the nadin sycophants are a worthy group.

They're a much smaller gang than the bullies, but are pretty entertaining in their own right, thanking the nutcase for her wisdom and attacking the bullies.

I'd normally suspect that the ass-kissers are nadin sockpuppets, but she's so stupid it would be impossible for her to hide behind an alternate identity.

She'd be easier to spot than a TomInTib sock.

[HeavyMetal]

Figured the gun grabbers would win this..  Damn..

Perhaps more appropriate, why do they lick their butts?

[tanstaafl]

Perhaps more appropriate, why do they lick their butts?

All I can say is, because they can.

But more importantly: Why do they sniff each others crotches?

[franksolich]

And to collect the award for the bullies is zappaman...

I'll resume the Top DUmmies probably on Tuesday; I needed this break.

As the awards work their way up to the top, I imagine that next Sunday or Monday, all Hell is going to break loose.....

[obumazombie]

Perhaps more appropriate, why do they lick their butts?

I'll tell you why through a little parable...
A little mexican boy ate some habanero peppers
His mouth started burning so bad he got an ice cream cone and ate it
About an hour later you hear a scream from the bathroom
"Come on ice cream" !!
