2013: #08 Top DUmmie (Taverner)
« on: December 25, 2013, 08:19:53 PM »
Congratulations to Taverner, #08 Top DUmmie of 2013!

Alas, despite that making eighth is quite an accomplishment for most primitives, it’s a comedown for Taverner, who at times in the past had come tantalizingly close to capturing the number one spot.

Last year, he tied the cousin for second topmost primitive; one more vote would’ve tied him with the eventual winner, and two more votes would’ve made him Top DUmmie then.

He was the second-place finisher in 2011, too, having risen from #14 Top DUmmie in 2010.

And even more melancholy yet, this is likely Taverner’s last appearance in the Top DUmmies--unless sometime in the future he wins the William Rivers Pitt award, the “Willie”--as he was banished from Skins’s island late in the year.

And given the mortality rate of promiscuous consumers of illicit drugs, sooner or later--but probably sooner--he’s going to be banished from this time and place too, either through an overdose, intentional or unintentional, or bloody violence, reasonably associated with the procurement of illegal pharmaceuticals.

- - - - - - - - - -

Taverner appears to be about 40 years old, and has a head the shape of an eggplant, as if the opening through which he had to come at birth was too small, squeezing his soft infantile skull.  He lives in or near Oakland, California, and is married with a wife and children.  Sometimes employed, sometimes not.

- - - - - - - - - -

It was with much surprise, shock, and sadness that decent and civilized people awoke the morning of November 15, 2013, and learned of the passing of one of their favorite primitives.

Taverner has been PPRed

Nov 14, 2013 While his account was flagged for review, Taverner created multiple sockpuppet accounts for the purpose of disrupting DU and sent a series of insulting emails to the Administrators.

^^^this announcing post was later self-deleted by the light-in-the-loafers primitive.

http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,92473.0

Taverner’s demise brought upon miles of comments by other primitives (not shown in the link above)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024035078

but oddly, most of the comments were about other primitives now gone, including poor stupid Beth and the late Tangerine LaBamba, rather than about Taverner.  It’s a good place to go, for information about other exiled primitives.

Taverner got all upset and bent out of shape:

My message to the shitsmokers on DU after they PPR'd me:

PUH-LEAZE Biotch

I never insulted a single one of you

If you can't take the heat GET OUT OF THE MUTHER****ING KITCHEN!!

Oh wait - I think I will let one of my NONEXISTANT sock puppet accounts do that

I had one. You killed it.

So uckfay, ouyay....

When I see you in person, don't be surprised if I DON'T GIVE A **** ABOUT RULES, MOTHER****ER

As long as I have been accused of insults, let me make some REAL insults

David "Skinwalker" Allen - You are a corporate tool When we are all their slaves, I hope you find happiness in that, ****er.

ELAD and the other guy - **** you. You are just a ****ing tool. Let's hope you die like my DAD is dying right now. That way, it will **** up your children and make them heroin users at 12.

And to DU - YOU ****ERS ARE ****ING TOOLS

I hope you die unloved and unnoticed

- - - - - - - - - -

But while burning his bridges, Taverner was apparently at the same time begging and pleading and licking the shoe-strings of my fellow alum Skins, to be let back in to frolic and play with the other primitives:

OOooooooKayyyy...here's to correct the "multiple sock puppets" - I made one" YellowSnow. And I announced that was a sock puppet account right off the bat. As for the "threatening emails," well you be the judge:

Mark Kregel Nov 9 - Dear David --

I know you are busy. I am busy too.

But please tell me, am I kicked off DU, or am I back on?

If back on, when?

If not - then I understand.

If it's pending re: something I need to do, let me know.

If you do not respond I will take that as "kicked off."

And I will go away.

It never worked, and Taverner appears to be gone, permanently.

In one of his parting shots on facebook, there was this:

Quote

Finally, at long last, an acknowledgement of the power of the people, through the instrument of the DUmpster.  

Perhaps the brain-damaged primitive would like to second that?

That Taverner, he was such a card.

But didn't he pull the plug on "dad"? Y'know, when he went to visit "dad" to survey the landscape for good drugs?

Gonna miss his shenanigans at the DUmp.

Right on the mark. He was my number eight choice.  YAY!!!1!11

He was one of the best of the best primitives to kick while he was down.
His disjointed ramblings were only surpassed by Teh Grate Omni-impotent gNads.

OK, I'm done, let's find another to kick.

Kregel deserves to be a top ten.

He risked his life daily with illegal intravenous drugs, just for our entertainment.

My favorite memory of Kregel was his post whining about how, when it comes to heroin, the media always focuses on the negatives. I'd love to have that link, but am afraid it's lost forever.

Ain't one of mine, addict. Mine are more subtle. Oh and BTW Taverner... several of my moles did flag you. However it was you that nailed your butt to the wall, dumbass. 

You are welcome. Now go OD you worthless addict.

Even though I didn't vote for Taverner, I think he deserves a spot in the top ten, especially since this might be his last run.


All I would add is that outside of trying to kill himself with drugs, Taverner's favorite hobby is making "music":

Tav has an album out

Taverner tries his hand at making music again

So, the Drunken DUchebag got a pizza, huh?
I would say I'm gonna miss him, but then again, he was a bigoted, dope- addled, hypocritical, hate- filled, ignorant buffoon. The only real issues I have with this are 1) He should have ranked higher on this list, and 2) Not being able to post on DU anymore means he'll likely have more time to make his wife and kids' lives a living Hell. I'll have to pray for those poor people who put up with him in person on a daily basis.
