Title: nominating thread for Top DUmmies of 2016
Post by: franksolich on November 23, 2016, 03:39:39 AM
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/dummiedestroyer/skinssisland.jpg) (http://s6.photobucket.com/user/dummiedestroyer/media/skinssisland.jpg.html)

Greetings.

This thread for nominating one’s choices for Top DUmmies of 2016 and the accompanying William Rivers Pitt award, the “Bill,” will remain open and accept nominations for the next ten days, until circa suppertime Saturday December 3.

Any registered member is eligible to nominate and later, to vote.  This includes bona fide members and primitives masquerading as decent and civilized people.

Voting will take place between Sunday, December 4 through circa suppertime Tuesday, December 13; the standards and rules for voting will be explained on that thread.

Awards will be handed out the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, with the last one, the big one, the Top DUmmie of 2016 being announced circa suppertime Saturday December 31.

There are two other awards---the Ralphie and the franksolich—but those are proprietary awards of my good friend and esteemed colleague Mr. Wiggum and myself, for which no input is sought.

Winners of previous years can be found in the DUmping Ground, the “reference library” of the DUmpster, at: http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=66225.0

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

For Top DUmmies (ten are selected), any primitive who was physically present on Skins’s island, on DU Jr., or on Manny’s jackass message board at any time during the year 2016, is eligible for nomination and selection.

One is free to use one’s own criteria when determining what top DUmmiehood is.

The William Rivers Pitt award, the “Bill,” is for the most memorable primitive of the past fifteen years, since the surfacing of Skins’s island in January 2001.

The “Bill” is a one-time only award; previous winners not eligible.  The previous winners include TomInTib, the Bostonian Drunkard, BouncyBall, cousin nadin, Alan Grayson, the subway cat, walrus-face, and the sordid sleazy sweaty terminal big guy in Bellevue.

(For those new here, that’s TomInTib, William Pitt, BouncyBall, nadinbrzezinski, Alan Grayson, undergroundpanther, DainBramaged, and Omaha Steve.)  While eligible for 2016 top DUmmiehood, don’t waste your time nominating them for the “Bill.”

Thank you for your participation.

Okay, I'm getting ready to take off for the next three days again; unlike the Bostonian Drunkard, franksolich doesn't try to make himself look "important" by dragging a whole lot of internet equipment with him.  I leave the internet, including any and all telephonery, at home when I go somewhere.

I'll be seeing a member of conservativecave Thanksgiving morning too; this is the first time, the very first time, the planets and stars have aligned well enough for a get-together.

Anyway, in case anyone forgets, I choose to nominate ol' hypertensive Bob, the TheMastersNemesis primitive, for a spot among the top ten DUmmies, preferably the first one.  He makes the late grouchy old Don, the NNNHL0I primitive, look kindly and genial in comparison.

And also Lamond, the MrScorpio primitive, for one of the top ten DUmmies.  I'm always worried that I might, or might not, have too high of an opinion of myself and my "gifts," but at least as long as Mrs Corpio's around, at the worst franksolich is merely second-fiddle.

And for the "Bill," the most memorable primitive of the past fifteen years, I choose to nominate Big Mo, the mopinko primitive, and Skippy, the now-gone NYC_SKP primitive; either one's fine by me.

As my second post and a primary reason for joining, I would like to nominate the following:

Graham4HC45.
With DU junior down, this may be a posthumous award.  I do feel that his sense of loss with the defeat of his idol and the resultant inability to appoint the next few USSC justices may lead him to self destruction.
While one of the more, perhaps most, civil primitives, his unwavering support of Her Royal Thighness and his unalterable convictions regarding the 2012 midterm and 2016 Presidential elections should receive its proper recognition.

Strange Luck
Another DU junior reprobate, his unerring and unnerving ability to turn any topic, however inane, into Christian bashing should place him/her/it if not in the top 10, at least in the running.

Lamond aka Mrs. Corpio
It is with deep regret that I admit that I must reside in the same state as this racist meatsack.  While I am grateful for the time he spent in service to our country, there is so much more he could accomplish were he to leave it.  Toll on the Ambassador Bridge is a couple bucks.  If he is lurking, PM me the address, I'll send the cash.

LetMyPeopleVote (Don't know his/her/its DUmp name)
In years of being on political boards, he/she/it is the first and only that I have ever put on ignore.  One can only take reposting of crappy political cartoons for so long and then something has to give.  DOTY would be a good choice for obvious reasons.

Bravenak
Her criticisms of white people, Jews, Bernie Sanders and non-progressives aside, who has done more to elevate the cause and effects of liberalism more than she?  A reward for such enthusiastic behavior is in order.  DOTY could be just the reward she deserves.

Hoyt (CTA102 on DI)
Living proof that a single working brain cell can support a human body.  Lenny Bruce should be rolling in his grave at this primitive's use of his likeness as an avatar.

Stone Space (cilantro on his short lived excursions to DI)
Supposedly a teacher or professor, he is the embodiment of everything wrong in education today.  He may not be as famous or prolific as other nominees, but remember, neither was Trump at one point and like Donald, should be given serious consideration.

     Smart money is on Der Stumpenfuhrer, Hopalong Bob, TheMastersNemesis.

     May I suggest the following, however:

malaise - Calypso Cathy, just because she's such a complete asshole
KamaAina - all white guilt, all the time
demtenjeep - for one simple phrase: "I shit my pants." I'm not saying she has an extra chromosome, but if you're ever in the market for one...
kpete - she's rich, getting richer, and she never gets called on it. Nor does she ever post a word of her own. Because she's a ****ing idiot.
gothmog - "Hey, remember Milton from Office Space? What if he was a real guy?"
NuclearDem - because he is a known kiddie porn user, and he needs to be outed.
TobinS - because any 350 pound DUmmy with an overalls fixation will always get my vote.

I'm not so sure about this one.  On one hand it was hilarious, but on the other, we were robbed of two weeks worth of fresh melt downs, consternations, and renting of sack cloths on the Island.  Had I my way, it would have stayed up for the whole world to see their idiocy. 

That being said, what happened happened, and there isn't anything that can be done about it.  We were given a bunch of lemons with the shutdown, and so now we can see if lemonade can be made from it.  If the rumblings about AR15.com or that the DUmp was taken down because they are "feared on election nights for their intelligence", ala mopinko-style keep showing up, then I think we might have a contender.

Post by: franksolich on November 26, 2016, 12:39:09 PM
I'm back after three days, but not quite yet.

In response to a question earlier, all primitives who were on Skins's island, DU Jr., or Manny's jackass message board--I haven't checked yet to see if it still stands, or if Skins absorbed it, took it over, forcibly merged it into his principal real-estate, during the Thanksgiving holiday--at any time during the past year are eligible for nomination and selected.

As mentioned in the original post.

Also, Big Mo's been nominated for the Bill, the award for most-memorable primitive.  This award used to be called the Willy, but I changed it after learning that the Bostonian Drunkard really loathes "Bill;" he thinks it common, and he deludes himself supposing he's special, upper crust or something.

And I wish to nominate Attilla Marc the Hun, the DFW primitive, the ambassadorial wannabe, for one of the spots in the top ten DUmmies of 2016.

Post by: franksolich on November 26, 2016, 03:55:04 PM
I have to take off again, and this thread closes next Saturday.

Lest I forget, I want to nominate the Texas pyramid, the Gothmog primitive, and Jugs, the BainsBane primitive, for a couple of spots in the Top Ten DUmmies of 2016.

Their performances this past year, although never particularly exciting, were steadily and consistently good.

Some of the oldsters are around like MM, but they are parodies of themselves.

We haven't seen a good bouncie in like forever.

So no names from me, but I'll watch with great interest.

Then after the awards are presented I will ask for a recount.

No, it's fine here on the nominating thread too; there might've been some confusion a few years ago when I started a voting thread commenting that campaigning was okay, possibly suggesting in error that it hadn't been okay on the preceding nominating thread.

It's fine, it's all copacetic.  Campaign on this thread if one wishes, and on the voting thread next week.

By the way, I feel a need to nominate the now-gone thunderthighs, the fizzgig primitive, for one of the spots in the top ten DUmmies of 2016.

And I feel a need to promote, to boost, to ballyhoo one of my earlier nominees, Attila Marc the Hun, the DFW primitive.  I nominated him strictly upon one gaffe, one solecism, one faux pas he committed, when he mentioned to the primitives his dream about becoming an ambassador.

To me, that was a blunder as big as when the sparkling old dude confessed that his much-younger trophy wife made him use the bathroom in the basement so he wouldn't stink up the good one upstairs. 

There's just things one doesn't say to primitives, especially in an open forum.

There's nothing wrong with Attila Marc the Hun dreaming of an ambassadorship--we all dream--but he should just talk about this dream with his wife and two daughters, with his co-workers at the coin-and-stamp dealership, with his comrades at the Nation magazine, with his alleged connections in journalism and national politics, with his rabbi, &c., &c., &c.

The primitives are not the caliber, the quality, of people with whom one should share dreams. 

I have no idea why he felt compelled to share that with the primitives, and as with the sparkling old dude sitting on the commode in the basement, I'm not going to let him forget he did that.  That was incredibly stupid; the primitives are no friends of his, and would turn on him in a minute.

Post by: franksolich on November 27, 2016, 07:25:41 AM
Nominations thus far, after which I'm out of here for a while again.

for the William Rivers Pitt, the "Bill," for the most memorable primitive the past 15 years:

mopinko, Big Mo
NYC_SKP, Skippy

The ones who've already won and aren't eligible any more:

TomInTib
BouncyBall
William Pitt
nadinbrzezinski
Alan Grayson
undergroundpanther
DainBramaged
Omaha Steve

Come on now, folks; it's true that all the "good" primitives have already won this award, but surely there's some worthy odds-and-ends.  The bitter old Vermontese cali primitive isn't memorable, for example?  MannyGoldstein?  The idiot Briggs primitive?

for the Top Ten DUmmies of 2016 (ten selected):

BainsBane, Jugs
boston bean, one of the Four Horsewomen of the Femapocalypse
bravenak
ColesCountyDem, the big guy's best pal
demtenjeep, Pamela, she of the runny bowels
DFW, Attila Marc the Hun
fizzgig, thunderthighs
Gothmog, the Texas pyramid
grahamforwhatever, from DU Jr.
Hoyt
JudiLynn
KamaAina, the white dude masquerading as an Oriental girl, although no one knows why
kentuck
KingCharlemagne
kpete
LaydeeBug
LetMyPeopleVote from DU Jr.
malaise, Christine
MineralMan
MrScorpio, Lamond, Mrs Corpio
NuclearDem (the child molester, NOT to be confused with Nuclear Unicorn)
Omaha Steve
pnwmom
randyS1
retrowire
Skinner (as an individual)
Skinner, Elad, and EarlG (the three as a single group)
sheshe2
Stone Space
Strange Luck, from DU Jr.
TheMastersNemesis, ol' hypertensive Bob
Tobin S., the Tobe, Guatama Toby the overall-wearing Buddha

I'm not sure if I'm going to put Skins down twice on the ballot, as an individual and as one of the three stooges (it's okay to nominate a "group" of primitives, provided one defines them clearly enough).

Skins by the way is one of four primitives that if a winner, someone other than franksolich will have to write that particular award.  I'm naturally biased towards Skins, the brooklynite primitive, the buzzy one, and the husband-hating elleng primitive, and would be hard-pressed to find anything negative to say about them.

I'm not sure what to do about the "hacker" (quotation marks intentional, or perhaps not) who shut down Skins's island for two weeks; that seems an eminently credible nomination and candidate, but at the same time that was so extraordinary it might, or might not, deserve its own unique award.

We'll see when I put out the ballot.

I'm truly disappointed.

After all of his rash braggadocio leading up to the election, I thought for sure he'd have enough class and character to return to Skins's island once it was unsubmerged, and congratulate us.

For the "Bill" I nominate Skinner. Early on he was in the bag for Hillary (his wife a paid staffer). He invited paid professional Hillary trolls who bullied the board...driving half of his paying customers to Jackpine Radicals.
Further, Skinner faked a hack attack, and used the excuse to shut down two boards.

I'm an old timer here at CC. I remember a previous board where one person invited an invasion of trolls. CC is the result.

Skinner split his board for selfish reasons and used deception to get what customers he had to pay up for a star just to post. Skinner may have doomed DU.

for all those reasons, Skinner gets my nomination for the "Bill."

A point of order. We ought to be nominating diabeticman's pretend inflatable wife. Apart from her imagined thoughts diabeticman never seemed to express any personal opinion of his own.

and I would like to second the nomination for Graham4anything. This guy was a total loon. he's been predicting a 500+ EC victory since day one. He predicted Bush would be the nominee. If people started making fun of Hillary on one of his threads, he would delete his OP and shut the conversation down.

One person asked if he loved Hillary so much why doesn't he marry her?...G4A said, YES he would marry her if he could. NEVER have I seen such idolization mixed with such a pathetic individual.

There might, or might not, be a problem if a primitive from DU Jr. wins any spots in the Top Ten DUmmies.

Unless Skins gets DU Jr. up and running again, it'll be rather difficult to write the awards, not having access to any archives of comments and original topics.

I'm desperately hoping Skins gets it back up during the next few weeks.

That's a good one, and I'm adding the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive.  They've both been on Skins's island nearly all of its existence, and usually prominent.

Although one does miss California Peggy posting all those photographs of herself.  Really.
Although you can always peruse them at your leisure.

There might, or might not, be a problem if a primitive from DU Jr. wins any spots in the Top Ten DUmmies.

Unless Skins gets DU Jr. up and running again, it'll be rather difficult to write the awards, not having access to any archives of comments and original topics.

I'm desperately hoping Skins gets it back up during the next few weeks.

It shouldn't be too much of an issue, so long as it's available through Google's cache of the site.

Thank you, madam.

I try to do an equally-good job on writing each of the awards, but as Mr. Wiggum himself has mentioned, once in a while one gets side-swiped by a winning primitive about whom the writer of the award knows little or nothing. 

The more familiar franksolich is with a primitive, the better the award.  I still consider the award for the sparkling old dude as #02 Top DUmmie of 2009 the finest one I ever wrote--I'm sure his partners copied it off and included it in brochures promoting their restaurant-consulting business, showing how well-connected they are--but it was so good because of my intimate familiarity with the winner.

TheMastersNemesis, ol' hypertensive Bob
Tobin S., the Tobe, Guatama Toby the overall-wearing Buddha

The big three--Skins, the elusive enigmatic Elad, Lord Marblehead EarlG--are listed as one; as with previous practice, it's okay to nominate a "group," as long as the group's clearly defined.  I believe the Barack Obama Group and the Four Horsewomen of the Femapocalypse were among Top DUmmies in previous years, but I forget when and am too lazy at the moment to look them up.

I'm exercising one of many prerogatives Mr. Wiggum and I reserve for ourselves, that of removing Skins from consideration for Top DUmmie (as an individual; he remains on the ballot as part of the big three), and from consideration for the William Rivers Pitt award.  Also, the hacker, alleged or real, for consideration as a Top DUmmie.

^^^for eminently good reasons which will become clear as I give out the awards.

A tip, in case one finds the ballot's too long (remember, one has until Saturday to add names):

Rather than looking at the list of names and trying to choose ten, instead DO NOT look at the list and think about five--not ten--primitives one remembers the most from this past year.

And they're probably on the list.

One selects ten primitives, but only the first five selections are weighed--in whatever proportion Mr. Wiggum, who counts the votes, wishes to weigh them--with the second five being merely leftovers.

Ten votes are important, but the first five are more important.

This thread doesn't close for three days yet, but it looks as if nearly all the potential Top DUmmies have been nominated.  The pool of talent this year wasn't as big and deep as it'd been other years.

Although my good friend Manny Goldstein needs nominated for Top DUmmiehood, and so I just did.

What I'm looking forward to is this; every year, something happens during the last month of the year, usually a real live bona fide primitive showing up to gripe about this thing or that thing.  There have been a few other instances where reaction remained over on Skins's real-estate without coming here though; I'm thinking of the time Pamela, the demtenjeep primitive, went berserk over GOBUCKS without actually showing up here.

We'll see.  Something always happens.

You're probably aware that the LynneSin primitive lost tons and tons of weight this past year; I'd hesitate to call her "svelte," but at the same time I wouldn't call her "fat" or even "stout" or "hefty."

However, physical beauty's only skin deep, whereas the beauty that counts is still absent from her; she's still a primitive, which uglifies her considerably.

I continue to be disappointed in my good friend Jonathan, the dentist in Philadelphia.  He started out in life so full of promise, so full of piss and vinegar, so full of unexpected surprises, and definitely not chutzpah-impaired.  But the older he gets, the more of a dull old fogey he becomes.

The demented dentist got upset when after years at the DUmp he discovered earlier this year that his comrades would happily stand aside to let ISIS slaughter every Jew in the world and then celebrate after.
He couldn`t stand to be away as election day drew near so he is essentially the same as Soros and other Jews who cooperated with the real Nazies.

I'm only worried that this year there's going to be a lot of carry-over into 2017 DOTY that we'll have to be mindful of, as nominations close way earlier than the Electoral College meets.  Cyrano is a good example, with his recent outbreak of stupidity.

I just looked it up, wondering if I could possibly postpone the end of nominations so as to be accommodating; as you and everybody but the primitives seem to know, franksolich is very flexible.

But alas it doesn't seem possible, although I haven't shut the door.....yet.

Apparently the Electoral College casts its votes on the first Monday after the second Tuesday in December.....which in this case would be December 19, 2016.  It might, or might not, be possible to hold things off, but at the moment, I'm not seeing how it's realistically possible.

Yeah, you're right.  The timeframe just doesn't allow for a nice segue into the awards by cutting it that short.

Well, we do have the DOTY Electoral College, otherwise known as "The Franksolich" to correct any popular voting errors that may overlook a worthy candidate.

For the "Bill" I nominate Skinner. Early on he was in the bag for Hillary (his wife a paid staffer). He invited paid professional Hillary trolls who bullied the board...driving half of his paying customers to Jackpine Radicals.
Further, Skinner faked a hack attack, and used the excuse to shut down two boards.

I'm an old timer here at CC. I remember a previous board where one person invited an invasion of trolls. CC is the result.

Skinner split his board for selfish reasons and used deception to get what customers he had to pay up for a star just to post. Skinner may have doomed DU.

for all those reasons, Skinner gets my nomination for the "Bill."

Top 10:

Bravenak - for a variety of reasons but especially for encouraging other primitives to give us free salt.
MasterNemisis
trueblue2007 - For thinking Donald Trump was watching her cry through her television
Ken Burch
jodymarie aimee - For the free salt
Sunshine evolver - for one of the longest, most entertaining posts of the year that was too long for me to finish reading
malaise - for her Margaret Trudeau levels of love for Fidel Castro
Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin - for her concern over rural drug users whom she hates for voting for Trump
woodsprite - for her brilliant post in where she intimates former DOTY winner Nadin has been getting verbally harassed for looking like a transgender dwarf. Brilliant stroke.
JeffersonsGhost - The Primitive Who thinks Chinese Satellites are Harassing him.

I do wish Jill Stein has posted even once at the DUmp as she is my top pick.

For the Bill, I nominate Zephyr who's life provided a memorable avatar and who died attempting to keep the Primitives informed of very important things.

I've always been disappointed in my attempts to get the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, the Greatest Primitive Ever, "Redstone," the William Rivers Pitt award.

(This by the way is NOT a nomination.)

Redstone exemplified all the characteristics of primitivity, all, not just "some of" or "most of" them, but all of them.  The Perfect Primitive.

But alas, it's only people such as yourself, USA4ME, Adam Wood, and franksolich who would understand why; we have longer memories reaching back further than most here.

Some day, someone's going to hew out a new Mount Rushmore featuring the best primitives ever, which might or might not include Redstone, William Rivers Pitt, California Peggy, and nadinbrezinski.....and the ugly mug of Redstone would be about where the head of George Washington is on the real Mount Rushmore.

The Greatest Primitive Ever, with California Peggy taking the place of Jefferson, William Rivers Pitt the half-obscured face of Ted Roosevelt, and cousin nadin Abraham Lincoln.

There is always a distinct lack of primitives when visiting Mount Rushmore.  Combined with being in flyover country, and no real airports nearby, it makes for a nice visit.

Because Mount Rushmore is inherently racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. (DUmp thinking)

Okay, it's suppertime (5:30 p.m.) out here in the Sandhills of Nebraska, and it's darker than Hades outside, with a light covering of snow, and so this thread is now closed to nominations and comments.

The voting thread will be posted at this same place some time tomorrow (Sunday) with the instructions and the ballot.  As the voting will last ten days, there's plenty of time for campaigning on behalf of one's favorite primitives, and yes, that's exactly what the voting thead's for.

My thanks to all who nominated and commented.
