Title: official nomination thread for Top DUmmies of 2010
Post by: franksolich on November 22, 2010, 09:28:33 PM
A most happy and wonderful Thanksgiving to all, when one gives thanks to God for all that one has!

This is the sixth year of the TOP DUmmies OF xxxx, and most already know the way it goes here.  

The ballot, and the rules for voting, will be on the "official voting thread for the TOP DUmmies OF 2010" which quite reasonably is posted after the nominations have closed.

This thread is about nominations only, and will remain open until 11:00 p.m. central time, 10:00 p.m. mountain time, Saturday, December 4, 2010, after which it is locked to further nominations and comments.

The official voting thread will then be launched some time on Sunday, December 5, 2010.

One may make as many nominations as one wishes to make.

It goes without saying that if one explains or describes or analyzes or justifies his nominations--rather than just listing them (which is okay)--the better the chances are that one's primitives are going to pick up votes.

One does not have to make all nominations in only one comment; as this thread runs for ten days, one has a prime opportunity to add, amend, or delete his own nominations at whim.

All nominations must be public nominations, made out in the open for all to see; it is only in the voting that one has a choice between a publicly-seen ballot and a secret ballot.

+ + + + +

Last year, giving into widespread raucous public clamor, we added a new category, the "Lifetime Achievement Award", naming a DUmmie who has done yeoman's work for the good reputation of DUmmieland since its foundation in January 2001.

Since "Lifetime Achievement Award" does considerable wear-and-tear to the keys on the keyboard, this award has now been shortened to the "Willie Award," or simply, the "Willie."

Our esteemed colleague Mr. Wiggum and franksolich chose last year's winner (not because of any anti-democratic motives, but simply because of the constraints of time), the lying tits primitive, the long-mausoleumed "TomInTib" primitive, which proved not a universally-popular decision, as it seems most had preferred the Bostonian Drunkard instead.

The problem was, the Bostonian Drunkard was not even nominated for a Top Primitive of 2009, which was certainly the first time he was ever overlooked in any compilation of the TOP DUmmies.

This year, besides everyone and anyone voting for the TOP DUmmies OF 2010, everyone and anyone will be allowed to nominate and vote for the recipient of the Willie.

+ + + + +

There is a new award this year, too, the "DUmmie Most Likely to Succeed," a take-off on high-school politics--which DUmmie is most likely to succeed at being a DUmmie?

This category will take some rather contorted mental gymnastics, some violent flip-flopping.  

Usually, to succeed at something, if for something good, is praiseworthy.  That is the way it is in the real world.

However, in the kuckenkuckensheim world of the DUmmies, "success" is what passes for "failure" in the real world.

While DUmmies call such of their own "winners," decent and civilized people call them "losers."

And so which DUmmie is most likely to succeed.....in being one of life's losers, because of his irredeemable intolerance, bigotry, Hate, anger, rage, bitterness, wilful ignorance?

As with the Willie, since the "DUmmie Most Likely to Succeed (at being a DUmmie)" wears the ink off the keys on the keyboard, this award is shortened to the "Annie Award," or simply, the Annie.

+ + + + +

If a particular DUmmie wins both a place in the TOP DUmmies OF 2010, and one, or both, of these special awards. launching of the latter for public consumption will be in the order one has been chosen a TOP DUmmie OF 2010.

+ + + + +

As most know, man proposes, God disposes, but anyway, this is the hoped-for schedule:

nominations: Thanksgiving Eve through December 4
voting: December 5 through December 14

Top DUmmies 20-11 launched sometime on Christmas Eve (one thread)

"Mrs. Alfred Packer does Christmas" launched on Christmas Day
the Willie (if not also a TOP DUmmie OF 2010) launched on Christmas Day
the Annie (if not also a TOP DUmmie of 2010) launched on Christmas Day

Top DUmmies 10-2 launched beginning December 26 (separate threads for each) through December 30

The TOP DUmmie OF 2010 launched the afternoon of New Year's Eve

+ + + + +

Now that one's read the long version of the rules, the Reader's Digest condensed version:

(a) nominate primitives for the TOP DUmmies OF 2010
(b) nominate primitives for the Willie and the Annie

I'm going to give my nominations in dribbles and drabbles this year.

For starters, and it could not possibly be any different, I nominate Doug's stupid ex-wife, the "EFerrari" primitive, for top primitive.

I promised Chief S itting Bull election night I would nominate him for top primitive, but I changed my mind.

Other than his wistful fantasies about going into the hospitality business, and then later when the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive got all upset and drunk election night, getting beat up by somebody, Redstone hasn't been prominent enough this year to be included among the top primitives of 2010.

If someone else wants to nominate him for top primitive, feel free, but franksolich isn't going to.

However.

However.

However.

There is the "Annie," for the biggest loser ("winner" on Skins's island, loser in the real world).

I thought about the skumbag primitive, the mike_c primitive, the unappellated eohippus, and the Die alte Sau (in whose honor the "Annie" is named), but these primitives are trash; they're the drek primitives, about as worthwhile as what one left in the commode 37 days ago or something.

The "Annie" can cover more than just this year, 2010, anyway.

And in the past years, Chief S itting Bull has proven himself a real loser.

So I'm nominating Redstone for the "Annie."

Top DUmmy nominees:

w8liftinglady
Redstone
Doug's Stupid Ex-Wife (which, I believe this is self-explanatory)

For the Willie:

proud2blibKansan
Greenbriar, aka DementJeep

For the Annie:

In my mind, the person who personifies the traits we are looking for is none other than Stinky.

For top DUmmies, I'm going to step out of the norm and nominate a group:

The BOG (Barack Obama Group).

These individuals are the "100% Dear Leader can do no wrong" group who spent the year so upset that all the other primitives didn't worship Dear Leader the way they worshipped Dear Leader, they went to their own sub-forum within a group, asked Skin's to re-write the group rules to accommodate their obsession, and then spent their time in there talking about how wonderful their master is, plotting on how to defend their master, and how to confront those who weren't 100% worshippers like them.  As of recent, per a report at another lib website, the BOG's formed their own private website where they could go and speak in secret about their exaulted leader and, one would guess, on how to purify Skin's island of those who aren't as they.

But make no mistake; just because they received their own sanctuary doesn't mean they spent their time there only.  They were often found in GDP (and some GD) posting only 100% worship pieces about Dear Leader, K&Ring each others threads, and attacking in packs anyone who wasn't as fully committed to obedience of Dear Leader as they should be.

The members of this groups include, but is not limited to, FrenchieCat, babylonsister, Cha, ProSense, grantcart, HiFructosePronSyrup, NJmaverick, HughMoran, jefferson_dem, Peacetrain, treestar, RoyGBiv, sandnsea, berni_mccoy, SoxFan, Nicholas D Wolfwood, and others.  A few have been banned over the last 2 or 3 weeks, but the BOG still exists.

Yeah, I made sure to nominate her over at our old home.

The old drunken sot was sort of low-level all year long, nothing special, but then her "I hate Republicans" campfire recently certainly makes her top primitivesworthy.

Since I'm not as familiar with a lot of the posters I have very little to contribute, but here's my list:

Alan Grayson

Mineral Man (is he the 1 who posted thousands of posts on Free Republic?)

BantheGOP, although I suspect he might be a mole, maybe.

EFerrari.

Mineral Man (is he the 1 who posted thousands of posts on Free Republic?)

Yeah, the anti-osteopathic primitive, the "Mineral Man" primitive, is he.

If anyone's in any doubt about definite identity of a particular primitive, feel free to ask; that's what this thread is for.  It happened last year, with the "shadowknows" and "shadow69" primitives, and it's happened other years with the "wilycoyote" and "wiley50" primitives, and the "cali" and "Kali" primitives.

Stupid primitives; never enough imagination to create unusual screen-names for themselves.

That's why franksolich is compelled to re-baptize them, to more accurately reflect their personas.

I think my fellow alum was actually nominated before, when we were at our old home, but I don't recall if he was ever voted a Top DUmmie.

Because my fellow alum's done me favors--the old school tie and all that--I personally hesitate very much to say anything, the least little thing, that puts him in a less-than-flattering light.

But this isn't my message-board--it's everybody's message board--and so if anyone nominates Skins, well, so be it.

However, be aware that if he ends up in the Top 20, I'm the person who has to write about him, and so that would put franksolich in a fine fix indeed.

I didn't want to nominate him, I was just curious if he was nominated or is eligible to be in the running. I would hope he wouldn't be nominated then so as not to put you in a compromising situation. BTW Frank, again I have to say you're awesome. :cheersmate:

If Skins ends up in the top twenty, it puts me in a quandary, but as we all know, franksolich is used to quandaries, and it could be quite interesting how it all turns out.

- I definitely agree that w8liftinglady deserves a nod.  The dominatrix turned "veterans advocate"/"editorialist" is so desperate for attention and approval from the other DUmmies that her posts are just pathetic and cringe-worthy.
- I disagree on Stinky, I think he tries way too hard to get mentioned here and that giving him a spot on the list would just encourage him further.  
- I would add Nadinbrzezinski to the list.  Her experience as a medic in Tijuana has apparently made her the final authority on just about everything.  There is literally nothing that she does not know, plus her hubby is a retired squid so she is a military expert as well.  She is an insufferable prick as evidenced by this thread  (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9570004#9573803).

I nominate Kentuck.  His posts are so utterly boring, I sometimes think he is channeling the ghost of Robert "Sheets" Byrd. He is also incredibly stupid, even within the context of the DUmp.  His stupidity makes him stand out in much the same way one would expect an unusually large and nutty turd cruising by in a sewer, amidst all the other floatsam, would stand out.


No way does he deserve top honors in any category, but I figure he at least deserves a mention.  I have attached my supporting evidence:



The Bush taxcuts did great harm to our country (http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,46732.0/highlight,kentuck.html)

I'd like to further nominate the cross-eyed Iowa primitive, the "HawkeyeX" primitive.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive isn't an especially loud or bombastic sitter-at-the-campfire like Lord Horatio Nelson,the sparkling husband primitive, but he's around quite a bit and says and does a whole lot of really stupid things.  

One could even insist the big guy's the archetypical primitive.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive, who lives in Denver, tries to come across as a bad one--after all, he was in prison (non-violent crime; bad checks or something)--always threatening to "take down" websites habituated by decent and civilized people with his computer prowress.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive's somewhat younger than usual for primitives, being only circa 40 years old, but he's got some impressive poundage on him.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive's on the disability gravy-train, but admits to making money on the side, which probably isn't reported to the proper authorities.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive is always the first to step forward to donate loads and loads of money to primitive candidates and primitive causes.....or more properly, claims that he does.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive is notoriously insensitive to the needs of his comrade primitives--I dunno what gross insensitivities he did this past year, but in 2009 for example, he went to play around in Las Vegas (on his parents'-in-law dime) but didn't stop in to see the gigantic primitive, who was having a miserable Thanksgiving what with an overstuffed commode overflowing and flooding the apartment.  And in 2008, the cross-eyed Iowa primitive had held a primitive get-together in Denver but didn't invite the bobbling primitive, who lives there.

Primitives in need, and the cross-eyed Iowa primitive not responding to the call.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive's just a big tub of lard and hot air.....the archetypical primitive.

I also nominate the usual trash, a couple of the only four drek primitives:

--the Die alte Sau, the "Proud2bLibKansan" primitive
--the mike_c primitive

There's two other drek primitives, the skumbag primitive ("IanDavid") and the unappellated eohippus ("Horse With no Name"), but they weren't especially interesting primitives this past year.

The first two were, though.

For the Willie award, to make up for last year, of course the Bostonian Drunkard.

The Annie

Demtenjeep/Greenbriar

Top Primitives

demtenjeep

Probably, though, to get greenbriar to win, though, sir, you're probably going to have to build up a case for her (not so much your other selections, though); she was hot in 2009, but she hasn't been especially hot this year, 2010.  She made some really big splashes in 2009, but this year, barely some ripples.

This isn't to denigrate your nominations of her, which have been duly noted for iinclusion in the ballot, of course, but I'm just tipping you off that if you want her to win, you'd probably better build up a case, especially for the top primitives of 2010.

This thread runs through December 4, so you got plenty of time.

Your nomination of her for the "Annie," on the other hand, for the biggest loser to date on Skins's island (since 2001) probably needs no extra boosting, though; I have no doubt many here consider her a pretty big loser.

Post by: franksolich on November 25, 2010, 08:58:22 AM
I still have more nominations in mind--franksolich most certainly hasn't forgotten the large-proboscised primitive Oscar Wilde, the "Cyrano" primitive--but as the competition for the "Annie" seems more intense than I had anticipated, I better hurry up and defend my nomination for the biggest loser on Skins's island, Redstone.

This is from my election-night message to Chief S itting Bull; the whole thread's at

http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,50652.0.html

and it's pretty entertaining, but I'm just quoting some fragments of mine from it.

Quote
Oh now, as you know, sir, I find Chief S itting Bull a rather fascinating object of study.

Perhaps you didn't know this, but the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive is dealing with an unfortunate degenerative neuro-muscular condition, which of course goes without saying that, yes, yes, yes, that's very bad, that's terrible.

But at the same time, for some reason, Chief S itting Bull thinks he can "deal with" the problem by building and solidifying his rage and anger and resentment and Hate against all that is good and decent; by hitting people and things, by reckless tearing-down and destruction.

And so franksolich remains inquisitively curious, how that's going to work out for the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, in ameliorating his unfortunate situation.

Quote
I've been all over Skins's island the past four days, and haven't seen the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive at all; one wonders what's up with that, given that Redstone has an opinion about everything, and never's been afraid to say it.  And there's been plenty on Skins's island on which Chief S itting Bull could opine.

One wonders if something happened; perhaps the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive was putting gasoline into his car at the neighborhood convenience store, the self-service pumps, and because the fuel was slow in flowing, he leaned over, lighted cigarette dangling from his lips, to look inside the aperture.

Alas! poor S itting Bull! alas!

As many know, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, who now lives in eastern Connecticut, was born and raised in New Hampshire, coming from a long line of earnest, hardworking, modest Gaels, the salt of the earth, who spent generations working in the textile mills there.

That was too meant to be Redstone's destiny, but he arrogantly balked at the notion.  No way was he going to be a manual laborer; he was too good to get dirt and callous on his hands.  Besides, he had "talent"--in music, in song-writing, in song-singing, in the jewelry business, in the know-it-all business, in the hospitality business, in the beating-people-up business.

Chief S itting Bull wasn't going to work in an old textile mill; he was going to be a star.

Well, well.....

The bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive is now, of course 60 years old (give or take one year either way), and as it turns out, never did anything worthwhile with his life.  Sure, during the late 1960s, he teamed up with the lying tits primitive, the now-mausoleumed "TomInTib" primitive, and they hitch-hiked around the Great American Southwest (including a stayover at the Charles Manson "ranch")....but that's a scant accomplishment.

Alas! poor S itting Bull! alas!

Now, if circa 1967 or 1968 or 1969, Redstone had gone to work at the textile factory, well, here it is, a little more than forty years later--and he would be about ready to retire with a five-figure pension and a six- or seven-figure retirement account.  The Life of Riley, he could be looking forward to.

But no.....

Quote
Actually, besides his ill-fated gloating and bloating election night 2008, pronouncing the Republican party dead forever, and besides his, uh, rather unusual way of dealing with his affliction, Chief S itting Bull appeals to me for a third reason.

I know people like Redstone in real life; not many, but a few.

(And coincidentally, they're all "socially conscious" Dems.)

Myself having been born deaf, I have no idea what a voice really sounds like, but in my case, this voice is as flat and wide and slow as the Platte River of Nebraska.

No stumbling, no stuttering, no stalling, just really slow.

(Actually, foreigners, those for whom English is a second language, and those who are trying to learn English, like to hear me, because I'm allegedly "understandable" to them--but of course 99% of my communicative contacts are with those from this time and place.)

I look utterly normal, utterly average.

And so it can be disconcerting for a person seeing me the first time, when I start to speak.

All my life, ever since I was about 2' tall, I've noticed that while this attribute bothers decent and civilized people only little, or not at all, it really really really "gets to" a certain species of people.

The hot-tempered, the chipped-on-the-shouldered, and "socially conscious" Dems.

And of course the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive is (a), (b), and (c) above; all of them.

I've always said it's a good thing Redstone and I have never met in real life, because it wouldn't turn out well.  I already know what's going to happen, as I've seen this reaction in his kind of person.

The eyes crossing to inside of the head, smoke puffing out of the ears, mouth paralyzed wide-open, face turning dark red, hands becoming claw-like, nostrils flaring, and blood vessels inside the skull popping and bursting, causing an apoplexic fit.

I'm a nice guy; I don't want Chief S itting Bull to suffer an apoplexic fit.

I guarantee you that would be Redstone's reaction to franksolich.

Past, and numerous, experience doesn't lie.

Quote
Sunday bump, but this is the last time I'm bumping this thread, as it's obvious Chief S itting Bull is cowering away from Skilns's island, afraid to go there in case someone asks him about his infamous prediction of early November 2008.

Either that, or the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, who has really poor "impulse control," is in jail.

First, his long-suffering battered wife, and next, a cop.

My, my.

Redstone really needs to learn some manners, to help him more gracefully accept his humble status in life.

Burned in the memory is one from December 2007, after the U.S. Senate had approved the nomination of George Bush's choice for attorney general.  Everybody out here in the wider real world had known that the choice would be approved since the preceding September--and hence it was no surprise to anybody but the primitives, who got all upset and bent out of shape because of it.

The primitives have a bad habit of being behind on what's going on.

Towards suppertime the day of the vote, Chief S itting Bull and Pedro Picasso, the "Atman" primitive, showed up together, finding the primitives substantially bawl-babying and demoralized.  They then both lit the same campfire, ordering my fellow alum Skins to show up on Skins's island, so as to hearten the primitives.

Neither of them begged or requested--both of them "demanded."

A peasant and a pauper summoning the king?

Skins didn't show up, and so the "demands" of the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive and Pedro Picasso got more and more angry, more and more hysterical.  Both even started slandering, libeling, distorting, muddying, smearing, the good name of my fellow alum.

It was disgraceful watching that, a peasant and a pauper spitting at the king.

As it turned out, my fellow alum was that same evening babysitting his two young sons at home, not aware that two lowly pissants had commanded him to appear.  But when Skins showed up at the corporate offices of Skins's island the next morning, he saw the campfire, and responded.

My fellow alum has a problem; he apologizes for things when it's better to just tell the primitives to fudge off.

Redstone and Pedro Picasso were on Skins's island at the time, but neither of them came around to this campfire to humbly thank Skins for showing up....in fact, for about the next two months, the arrogant asses ignored every single campfire at which my fellow alum showed up, shunning him.

It blows the mind, that Chief S itting Bull and Pedro Picasso dared think that they were in a position to "demand" something of Skins, when in fact neither of them is good enough, bright enough, ethical enough, worthy enough, to as much as kiss the shoelaces on my fellow alum's shoes.

franksolich can forgive much, but franksolich finds it very difficult to forgive arrogant presumption.

Okay, this is the last time I'm bumping this, because I'm going to be busy the next four days, and besides, it's now painfully apparent that Chief S itting Bull is in some sort of trouble that keeps him away from Skins's island; in jail, or a mental ward, or a gutter, or something.....or too cowardly to show his mug on Skins's island.

Modified to add: as we all of course know now, Chief S itting Bull absent because he was in the hospital, all busted up from a fight or something.

For top DUmmies, I'm going to step out of the norm and nominate a group:

The BOG (Barack Obama Group).

These individuals are the "100% Dear Leader can do no wrong" group who spent the year so upset that all the other primitives didn't worship Dear Leader the way they worshipped Dear Leader, they went to their own sub-forum within a group, asked Skin's to re-write the group rules to accommodate their obsession, and then spent their time in there talking about how wonderful their master is, plotting on how to defend their master, and how to confront those who weren't 100% worshippers like them.  As of recent, per a report at another lib website, the BOG's formed their own private website where they could go and speak in secret about their exaulted leader and, one would guess, on how to purify Skin's island of those who aren't as they.

But make no mistake; just because they received their own sanctuary doesn't mean they spent their time there only.  They were often found in GDP (and some GD) posting only 100% worship pieces about Dear Leader, K&Ring each others threads, and attacking in packs anyone who wasn't as fully committed to obedience of Dear Leader as they should be.

The members of this groups include, but is not limited to, FrenchieCat, babylonsister, Cha, ProSense, grantcart, HiFructosePronSyrup, NJmaverick, HughMoran, jefferson_dem, Peacetrain, treestar, RoyGBiv, sandnsea, berni_mccoy, SoxFan, Nicholas D Wolfwood, and others.  A few have been banned over the last 2 or 3 weeks, but the BOG still exists.

Uh oh.

The same thing happened last year, resulting in the Willie, the award for the primitive who the past years has done the most for the good name and reputation of Skins's island.

The Willie came up after the nominations had already gotten underway.

This year the new award's the Annie, the award for the primitive most likely to succeed on Skins's island, but of course a loser in the real world.

And now we got the Tangerine, the award for the primitive least likely to succeed on Skins's island.

I'm not sure what to do about this; I'll discuss it with our esteemed colleague Mr. Wiggum when he gets back, as there might be problems.

But in the meantime, everyone and anyone feel free to nominate for the Tangerine.

Your nomination of her for the "Annie," on the other hand, for the biggest loser to date on Skins's island (since 2001) probably needs no extra boosting, though; I have no doubt many here consider her a pretty big loser.

Well, nomination for "Top of '1o" I based purely on loserdom. Nothing more. I've seen too much from her that screams "loser" from every pore in her miserable body. The only reason I read her posts is because while vile, this one is a fascinating primitive.

Today I'm nominating a primitive who needs no introduction, Oscar Wilde, the large-proboscised primitive, the "Cyrano" primitive.

The guy lives down in Florida, and he despises Florida and the good decent people of Florida.

It's really unfortunate that my fellow alum Skins mausoleumed the HamdenRice primitive, the only authentic black man on Skins's island; Mr. Dorkio is a travesty as both a black man and a man, period.

For the Willie, the award given the primitive who's done the most to better the name and reputation of Skins's island any time or all time since January 2001, when my fellow alum first hoisted the flag on the island, claiming it for the malcontents, the fringes, the lunatics of the Democrat party: the Bostonian Drunkard.

For the Annie, the award given the primitive "most likely to succeed on Skins's island, most likely to be a loser in real life"--well, I already nominated Chief S itting Bull, and the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive is who I'm voting for, myself, but surely the unappellated eohippus, the High Priestess of Moloch to the primitives, the "Horse With no Name" primitive, also seems worthy of consideration.

Post by: franksolich on November 26, 2010, 11:04:27 AM
Fixed.

Here's a great example of how the primitives "care" about other people.

The Die alte Sau and her husband are long-time school teachers in Kansas City, and are two, three, years past the 30 years of teaching required before one gets a comfortable pension.

Kansas City had to close about one-half or two-thirds of their public schools this past summer, putting a lot of teachers down there on the unemployment line.  

One reasonably assumes many of those are young teachers, or at least younger teachers, as the Die alte Sau and her husband are no spring chickens.

The Die alte Sau already has it made; she's got this really good pension coming.

But she persists in keeping her job, pulling rank or seniority, ahead of these younger teachers, so as to make that already-comfortable pension even more lavish when she finally does retire.

Because the Die alte Sau won't get out of the way, it probably means a younger teacher is working in a convenience store.

And that doesn't seem to bother her an iota.

So much for boasting about one's moral superiority, as Anne often does.

No big deal, sir; it wasn't you, but rather cumulatively the comments here that reminded me.

The vote counting's a real hassle, and I'm very glad Mr. Wiggum does it; I have the easy half of the job.

The biggest problem apparently in past years was the confusion of primitive screen-names (explained in a previous comment here), which is why, if someone isn't sure about a name, it's okay to inquire.

It's been brought up before, but it's actually only ever happened but once.

People are curious as if the Big Three of Skins's island are eligible for nomination--Moe, Curly Joe, and Larry, or otherwise known as my fellow alum Skins, Lord Marblehead, and the elusive enigmatic Elad, or otherwise formally known as Skinner, EarlG, and Elad.

My fellow alum Skins was a runner-up in 2006, way behind the pack.

This is not a nomination of any of the three, or of all three, but simply a reminder that yes, they are eligible for nomination and for selection, although for my own selfish reasons, I cross my fingers and hope that doesn't happen.

I write the things, and Lord Marblehead would be an "easy write."  But--

Mr. Wiggum withholds the results of the voting from me until I'm ready to write, after which he releases the winners to me one at a time.  First, he gives me the complete list of runners-up, primitives #20-11, which I write about them in one thread, and post it.  Then he tells me primitive #10, and I write about primitive #10, and post it.  Then he tells me primitive #09, and I write about primitive #09, and post it.  Then he tells me primitive #08, and I write about primitive #08, and post it.  Then he tells me primitive #07.....and on and on until the end.

It was just as much a surprise to franksolich as it was to everybody else last year, when the greenbriar primitive won top primitive; I knew about it only half an hour before everybody else, and that of course was simply because I had to write the piece announcing her award.

The elusive enigmatic Elad, the number-three man in the corporate offices of Skins's island, is a riddle to me, given that he reveals so little about himself; in fact, he doesn't reveal a damned thing about himself.  It would take a year to write something about Elad, and that would end up being only half a paragraph.

My fellow alum Skins is another matter altogether; because of the old school tie, and because Skins has done franksolich many favors over the years, I've always been reluctant to say anything bad about my fellow alum (and thus far, I'm not aware I have), preferring instead to show him in the most realistic light, the most complimentary light, the most accurate light.

It would take some mind-boggling cerebral convulsions for franksolich to figure out how to ridicule his fellow alum, and so I'm crossing my fingers.

Great nominations, the brain-damaged primitive and the old drunken wretch from Canada.

Our esteemed colleague Tucker here is, on Skins's island being "ignored" by the brain-damaged primitive, and there must be a story behind that.

The primitive from the north hasn't been as loud and obnoxious this year as she's been in other years; one wonders what's up with that, but supposes since she doesn't have George Bush to kick around any more, her writing motivation's dissolved into the bottle.

AnArmyVet - So much typical DUmie BS and like most DUmmies probably NOT a Vet.
HannahBell - Anyone who reads WSWS like it was the bible deserves the top DUmmie honor.
Spooked911 - Will swallow and conspiracy theory no matter how ridiculous and is totally immune to facts or logic.
DefendandProtect - the perfect match for Spooked, did you know that we never went to the moon?
Rsmith6621 - Mr. bouncy himself
Proud2blibkansas - So many bouncies, so little time.
Nadinbrezinski

For the Willie:
Spooked911 - The bunnie cage alone along makes him a top contender.  You really need to spend time in the 911 forum to appreciate his contribution to the crazy that defines the DUmp.
Octafish - Whatever happened anytime in the last 2000 years was probably the fault of the BFEE.
Bobolink - Anyone who can make any thread about her situation deserves this prize.

I think that was the TwixVoy primitive from Target.

But it needs confirmed; I'm only 99% certain, not 100% certain.

I think that's who it is too, I'd like to nominate TwixVoy for being so naive.

The spooky primitive's a prominent 9-11 conspiracy theorist over there, right?

If so, a most excellent nomination, as one imagines the conspiracy theorists and the "Dungeon" forum have done much for the good name and reputation of Skins's island.


Correct, the man whose scientific medium is solely cinder blocks, kerosene and chickenwire.

Good choice, sir.

The problem with Don, the grouchy old primitive, is that he seems to make his biggest stinks earlier in the year, and then by the time nominations happen, he's been forgotten.

But nobody's forgetting him this year.

I'm going to do mine in pieces as well.  Just one today:

TheStraightStory.  Way back in the beginning of the year, we sat transfixed as TSS sold a sob story to the DUmp, slyly trying to raise money.  A long, involved sad story involving his ex-wife, who was very, very ill, and his desire to throw her out of an airplane (go sky diving).  If he could only raise the money for the trip.  Then, he seemingly was begging for gas money on the internet. 

As my much-missed pal GOBUCKS said at the time, "Well, well, well.  Right out of the gate we have someone vying for top Dummy."

Well, I think the gays who actually survived the purge deserve something. Here's part of my list so far. It doesn't include Pammy because I'm just damned sick of her.

Bobo who's homeless and angry, both deliberate.
EFerrari, loony, bitter trailer park trash who raised her own mini criminal enterprise and holds her mother in contempt but thinks nothing of sponging off her.
Stinky, no explanation necessary

Still pondering the rest.

I'm finally getting around to nominating the defrocked warped primitive, "warpy."

franksolich used to be utterly in love with, utterly fascinated, with warpy, because she always seemed so full of common sense and practicality, and knew so much about, well, everything.

But I noticed the more I complimented her, the more she bashed decent and civilized people.

Usually it pays off to be a nice guy, but this one, well, she just got more and more sour.

Even nice guys have limits to their patience, and so after about a year and a half, two years, I finally threw in the towel; her loss, not franksolich's.

For those who don't know, the defrocked warped primitive is 60 years old, and was once a registered nurse in Massachusetts.  That is, until one day when she got her hands on the keys to the narcotics cabinet at the hospital. 

The defrocked warped primitive, who usually hangs around the cooking and baking, do-it-yourself, rural, health, mental health, and disability forums, once in a while posting about politics in "General Discussion," now lives in northwestern New Mexico, and Hates men.

mikec, that bug-screwing bastard.

An especially excellent nomination, the mike_c primitive.

The mike_c primitive is one of only four drek primitives, a worthless piece of shit.

The mike_c primitive is a professor of insect life out there in California, a big fat guy with long hair, circa 55-60 years of age.  And a really bad skin condition, which needs looked at, and franksolich is sincere in saying that.

Not that I'm not being sincere in slamming the mike_c primitive too, though.

The mike_c primitive constantly rails against the "capitalist system," but like the Die alte Sau, the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher (the "Proud2bLibKansan" primitive, another of the drek primitives), the mike_c primitive surely appreciates the benefits he's soon to get from the "system;" a great big huge retirement pension derived from capitalist investments.

If the mike_c primitive is sincere in his hostility towards the "system," franksolich urges him to consider the source of his affluence, and to disavow it, to refuse it.  After all, one doesn't want to be tainted by taking something that was gotten from the sweat of the brows of the laboring masses.

franksolich has refused to accept tainted money before; surely the mike_c primitive, in his arrogance believing himself morally superior to decent and civilized people, can find it easier to do so than franksolich did.

10- ProSense -Entirely too many reasons why it could win but I'm thinking a future front runner.

9- Hannah Bell -The school bus driver who starts way too many pro NEA campfires. Most of the time she doesn't have a clue as to what she's bitching about. Thinks she is of superior intellect because she drove a bunch of elementary students back and forth to school.

8- Madfloridian - Swaps spit with Hanna Bell by posting same theme threads. Ex school teacher though. She is adamantly against Charter schools or students learning anything if it drains union teachers salary.

7- Joanne98 -Just because she's too stupid to post an original thought. Mostly a C&P queen. Her son was Bubba's boyfriend in prison.  She hasn't mentioned if he has kept up him homosexual ways since his release.

6- DainBramaged - Do you still have me on ignore?

5- Alan Grayson- He is a registered member and as stupid as a person the God ever made. No wonder he lost.

4- EFerrari- Dont want her to win as the winner seem to get TS's in the next calendar year.

3- Stinky The Clown - Spent too much time in the litter box. The toxic waste has deformed what little brain he had.

2- Anne Pritchett - AKA proud2BlibKansan. Working on legend in her own mind status.

1- Bobolink or Bobo the Hobo- Either the best mole ever or the most pathetic excuse for a human ever conceived. I'm leaning toward the former.

Biggest disappointment- It has to go to Leftyfingerpop. He was a early front runner for the top spot but got his ass TS'd a few months back.

http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,43905.0/highlight,leftyfingerpop.html

And I would like to add that I promised that I would never nominate CPeg and I didn't and never will. She has no redeeming value to mankind and not worthy of any accolades. Let me be blunt, She's a bitch.

the LVL primitave (is he even still alive? guy that fat oughta be dead now)

Well, now, sir, that stirs up a new mystery now.

The gigantic primitive, the Las Vegas Levithan, the "Systematic Chaos" primitive, around mid-year announced he'd gotten below 400 pounds following the advice given him by decent and and civilized people here, and was entertaining notions of becoming a professional nutritional consultant.....but that was months ago, and the gigantic primitive's been mum since then.

If he had continued losing weight, he'd be bragging about it to us.

So one must regrettably conclude he's been gaining weight.

Probably after the gigantic primitive learned as he was becoming thin and svelte, that he'd be shoved off the disability gravy train, and so panic-stricken at the notion of having to work, he resumed his old ways, and is perhaps considerably inflated again.

Well, there's still five more days left for nominations.

Although if the past holds true, basically from this point on out, others "defend" or "promote" their nominations.

One can't politicize on the voting thread, although one can justify one's votes.

Some of the nominated primitives, I think, need some promotion, some boosting, so as to garner some votes.

I normally do not nominate anyone to this honor, as the rest of you do such a great job. However, I am going to have to put forward the name Spooked911 for consiteration.

Spooked911 is the main fruitloop of fruitloops and can be found in the September 9/11 forum of the Dungeon spouting his/her/it's theory the 9/11 was a plot carried out by the Bush Evil Crime Family of Skull and Bones Illuminati Nazi Lizard People Changelings.

However, Spooked911 doesn't just hang out in the lower cells of Skammer's Prison complex, he/she/it has several web-site that all prove that mini-nukes build by Kebler Elves and/or Genetic Lizard Dwarfs built using alien technology and planted in the bottom of all the buildings in New York.

Also a key theory is that the planes were not planes, but either missiles, holograms, or other objects, but not planes full of people kidnapped by muslims with box cutters. In fact, no one died in the attacks, especially Jews, who didn't show up for work that day.

I don't even have time to discuss cell phones, black boxes, video tapes, eye witness accounts not making sense, etc etc etc.


Spooked911 is slammed by more 'reasonable' members of the DUmp, being a laughingstock hasn't slowed him down. He/she/it now has at least three sock puppets who post supporting posts by linking Spooked911's own web-sites as 'proof'.

It would be hard to make up half the crap Spooked911 posts...but if you want to see, you'll have to go there and read the insane ramblings of what I think should be the DUmpmonkie of the Year;

Spooked911.

Spooked911.

The spooked primitive's also been nominated for the Willie, for doing the most to better the name and reputation of Skins's island.

I'm surprised the spooked primitive's never been prominent in past years; I suppose it's from lack of exposure, but the DUmpster's taking care of that omission.

Now, question.

Does anyone remember if it was the "DefendandProtect" primitive who was fixing up a really nice meal, steaks and salads and fine wines and all that, when a homeless person knocked on his door, and the primitive gave him a peanut butter sandwich, white bread, no jelly?

If that's the same one, surely a candidate worthy of being a top primitive.

I wrote a tiny short story about him, mistakenly calling him StraightStory.  It ended with an embarrassing fatal accident, and probably a house fire.  Here it is:  CC Link (http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,40111.msg437475/highlight,mervin.html#msg437475)

OWTH made such an impression on me, I was going to nominate him.  But, his performance was rather poor during the rest of the year, only copy pasting articles written by other people, etc.  Disappointing, and so no nomination.

Thank you for clearing that up, madam.

I recall the wonderful story, but wasn't connecting it with a primitive in particular, it was so long ago.

I agree we can't have primitives nominated for this most eminent award who just made one single splash during the year, and then was mediocre all the rest of the time.

To encourage excellence among the primitives, they have to make a whole lot of splashes, and even more ripples, over the year.  One splash! doesn't cut it.

You know, though, sir, given dutch508's most excellent explanation of his choice, I'm now leaning towards voting for the spooked primitive for the special "Willie" award. 

I was just routinely automatically mindlessly going to vote for the Bostonian Drunkard for the "Willie," given that he was overlooked last year (the lying tits primitive got it instead), but dutch508's convincing defense his nomination of the spooked primitive got me to thinking.

The "Willie" award's named for the Bostonian Drunkard; that's honor and distinction enough for him.

The "Willie" award is given to a primitive who's done a great deal to ennoble and enhance the good name and reputation of Skins's island--not just this past year, but cumulatively including previous years--and the spooked primitive, with his remarkable logic and clarity of vision and awesome insight and innovative imagination, surely has done a great deal to gain credibility for Skins's island out here in the real world.

I'm not 100% certain at this time--after all, we got two weeks until the voting's final--that I'm voting for the spooked primitive for the "Willie," but I am definitely leaning that way, thanks to our esteemed colleague dutch508, who so often takes a sledge hammer to franksolich's head to remind him to think about things.

I mentioned this yesterday, but ProudDad deserves a nomination.  Run his name through the search function here and you'll see what I mean.
I will second this one. While not a contender for the top spot he is still plugging away with his hatred towards the military.
This was in response to the thread about the MoH recipient. This statement is rather mild in comparison to some of the others he has made but I am unable to search them out right now. If I remember correctly he has a child that is honorably serving in the armed forces and he is not at all happy about it.

From Frank's list on Sunday, I see that my list has been covered, one and all.  I'll just jot down here my Annie nominations.  I am completely torn between two of the biggest losers.  It will all shake out in the final votes.

Taverner and Hawkeye-X. 



I haven't ever paid much attention to the Taverner primitive; nothing personal, but we just don't "click."

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive, the "HawkeyeX" primitive however is a different case.

I've been acquainted with the cross-eyed Iowa primitive ever since early 2005, when he was still living in Iowa--I dunno why he moved to Denver; maybe his wife got a job there or something--and always making threats about "taking down" websites of decent and civilized people.

Well, that never happened; apparently the cross-eyed Iowa primitive's not as good with computers as he alleges himself to be.

As time went on, I noticed other things about the cross-eyed Iowa primitive, who's a rather hefty guy.

He used to make a big deal about being an ex-con, trying to convey the impression that he's a bad one, not to be messed with.  One conjures up images of a muscular multi-tattooed snarly guy who's cooped up for violent crime such as murder or something.....but as it turns out, the crossed-eyed Iowa primitive did a little bit of time for bad checks, or something like that.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive moans about degenerative hearing loss--forgetting that at past 40 years of age, hearing naturally deteriorates--and one gets the impression that he did some really stupid things with his hearing, like using illicit drugs and having the stereo head-sets cranked up way too much.

It's based upon this hard-of-hearing thing that the cross-eyed Iowa primitive's on the disability gravy train.

Some months ago, the cross-eyed Iowa primitive whined about recipients of social security disability not getting a raise in their free checks this year; it never occurred to him that he could make up the shortfall by going out and getting a job.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive occasionally touts pyramid schemes on Skins's island.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive self-admittedly does work on the side, computer maintenance and repair, apparently, the sort of work ideal for someone wanting paid in cash, and off the books.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive's like so many other hustling primitives; he put a lot of time and energy in trying to make a "fast buck" the dishonest way, when really it's easy just to have an honest job; less trouble, less stress, less anxiety, working on a factory assembly-line or something.

Despite his poverty, the cross-eyed Iowa primitive's always the first to jump in with a good-sized check--or so he says--to aid primitive candidates and primitive causes.

However, that's forgiveable.

What's not forgiveable, what blackens the cross-eyed Iowa primitive in franksolich's eyes, is his lack of manners.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive hosted the primitive "get-together" at the Democrat National Convention in Denver in 2008, but pointedly did NOT invite the homeless bobbling primitive, who also lives in Denver.  And the homeless bobbling primitive could've used a free restaurant meal and some brew.

And then the cross-eyed Iowa primitive was in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving 2009--trying again to make the "fast buck"--on a holiday paid for by his in-laws.

If anyone's forgotten, Thanksgiving 2009 was when the gigantic primitive, who lives in Las Vegas, was dealing with a clogged toilet overflowing, water running up to his ankles and the turkey in the oven burning; a really miserable Thanksgiving. 

The gigantic primitive probably would've been greatly heartened, consoled, morale-boosted, by a visit from his fellow primitive, but no, the cross-eyed Iowa primitive didn't care about the gigantic primitive; he was too busy trying to make a "big killing" off the casino tables, financed by the in-laws.

With manners like that, the cross-eyed Iowa primitive makes a caveman look like Emily Post or Amy Vanderbilt.

Just a reminder, although it'll be on the voting thread.

When it comes time to vote, in addition to members of this place and of our old home, members of P-J Comix's most-excellent DUmmie FUnnies are also eligible to vote.  But if they're not members of this place or our old home, they have to use the private ballot, which goes through the carefully-counting fingers of our esteemed colleague Mr. Wiggum.

Members of this place and our old home can cast private ballots too; they don't have to vote on the publicly-seen voting thread.

There exists a purposely-created impenetrable iron wall between Mr. Wiggum counting the votes and franksolich announcing the winners, and so the winners are just as much a surprise (if not more so) to franksolich as they are to everyone else.

Well - I made this list, and checked it twice..

1 Fat Che's lil' bro. A man's man.. Literally. If you fantasize about Comic Book Guy from The Simpson's doing another Comic Book Guy from The Simpson's, then he and his significant other are The Hotness -  Just don't play with your Matchbox cars when he is nearby.. Accidents can and do happen.

2 The birdsmacker - He wasn't even on my radar until getting his jaw wired. Its a shame they couldn't wire his fingers together too. Its not fair that only those who listen to him speak got to enjoy the moments of  silence.  

3 Spooked911 - Anytime I need a laugh, I know where to look - I would gladly make a 3rd place trophy out of cement and chickenwire in his honor.  

4 CaliphonyPeg - All sweetness and light on the outside, pure ugly harridan on the inside.. Well, on the outside too. Stick an excessively overpriced fork in her.

5 Doug's Stupid Ex - Such a hateful bitch. The northeastern United States is full of coyotes now - and I blame her. She scared them away from their natural habitat.

6 RedXIII - Everybody hates furries. Even the primitives. And this one is particularly pathetic & mangy.

7 BanTheGOP - Who woulda thunk that banning a political party could solve political problems around the world ? I still think this one might be an ultramole.

8 Xultar - almost as stupid as The Stupid Ex - and twice as angry. Reading her posts is like watching a Boondocks marathon on Cartoon Network. Racially charged idiocy.  

9 Dirty Deeds.. Dem Ten Jeep.. - perhaps the worst example sockpuppetry ever attempted, even the primitives knew it was she.

10 William The Pittiful. - for getting banned, unbanned and general asshattery befitting a typical highbrow Massachusetts Liberal wannabe.

For The Willie Award -

BouncyBall - I have no idea if she is aware of it, but she is legend - there are few who can claim that they have inspired an internet word - granted, she hasn't reached the recognition of ZOMG, lolcat, or pwnd yet - but is well on her way.

For The Annie -

Fat Che's lil Bro - Although I have also nominated him for top primitive, lil bro has managed to squander a small fortune, ruin his own political career, and has had limited success with his photoshopped comic strip. ( give or take 10K regular viewers , and a collection of self-published books (lulu is a self-publishing company))

TIA still agitates the primitives from beyond the grave, as he was mausoleumed years ago. Sadly, only a few on the island still worship their fallen hero. Most regard him and his Monte-Carlo based simulations as mathematical alchemy. -Solid Gold Kookery.

So I'm taking that as a nomination of the tits-in-ass primitive for the "Willie," someone who's done a great deal to enhance the good name and reputation of Skins's island out here in the real world.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, sir.

I don't know if O.H.  intends to nominate, but I will.

TIA is the only primitive to have ever taken notice of me. While posting on Free Republic around the time of the so-called 'Stolen Election' where G.W.Bush had won a second term, I posted a simple graphic highlighting that the likelihood of conservatives talking to exit pollsters is largely weather dependent.

The worse the weather is, the less likely a conservative is to talk to them, whereas regardless of weather, conservatives are far more likely to vote. I added colored dots to a rainfall total map from election day, and sure enough, the greater the amount of rain, the more skewed the exit poll numbers were from the vote totals.

I could only assume that conservatives have better things to do than to hang around and take surveys while its raining on them.

But TIA was having none of that..

To a primitive, the kitchen is a vital part of their crib.

Oven- used for drying the freshly cut marijuana

Table- flat surface useful for cutting the coke

Fridge- keeping the beer cold

sink- washing the peyote before in-gestation

florescent fixture- great for a grow light

dishwasher- what's that

garbage can- great place to store the 13 gallon plastic bags used to carry the pot for delivery

Butcher knife- used to cut the LSD in half when you have to share it

Spoons- used to cook up Heroin or holding incense

Fork- great for fluffing up a compressed brick

Well, there's only two more days left, and the nominations seem to be pretty well wrapped up, a great slate of candidates.

But there's two more days, and even if one's already nominated all the primitives he wishes to nominate, plenty of time to defend one's choices, if they speculatively seem "weak" for voting.

franksolich plans to have two "surprise" nominations posted at 10:59 p.m. central time, 9:59 p.m. mountain time, on Saturday, December 4th, after which nominations are locked.

The word from Skins's island, the buzz, is that we can't seem to please anybody.

The primitives who haven't been nominated thus far are unhappy about being overlooked, and the primitives who have been nominated are all ashiver and asweat because they presume if they win, there's going to be Wikileaks-like exposes of them.

Which is utter nonsense.  franksolich is a nice guy.

By the way, folks, we've never been able to determine if it was the TwixVoy primitive who got that tourist visa for Portugal, and was planning to emigrate there, and that nomination was contingent upon whether or not this was in fact the TwixVoy primitive.

So unless someone can determine that yes, it was the TwixVoy primitive, or come up with other reasons to nominate the TwixVoy primitive, we'll have to exclude the TwixVoy primitive from the ballot.

When surveying the nominations, I noticed an omission.

As with Doug's stupid ex-wife, it's someone for whom franksolich has invariably voted ever since the first compilation of top primitives in 2005.  Every single time.

This nomination is NOT to be taken seriously, as it's only a token gesture.

Much like that lone Minnesota delegate to the 2000 Republican National Convention who cast his vote for ex-governor Harold Stassen.....who had first been nominated 60 years before, back in 1940, and nominated by at least someone at every Republican presidential convention since then.

franksolich fully plans on wasting one of his ten precious votes for this darkest of dark horses.

But don't anybody else waste their vote; this primitive has done nothing outstanding during 2010, other than just being his usual stupid boorish effete self.  I'm nominating him simply because franksolich likes continuity.

The Atman primitive, better known as Pedro Picasso.

I did nominate Bobo for the top spot in the regular DOY nominations(post 82).

I now take this opportunity to politic on her behalf to sweep the awards as she is most deserving. The finial hours are the most crucial as they may sway the judges with the freshest examples of feats of primitive achievements.

Edit to add: Thanks for the considerations on Bobo's behalf.

You did indeed, sir; my error.

I was using three windows when writing up that list of current nominations; I surely hope I didn't miss anybody else.

Duly noted; Nance Greggs for the Annie, too.

There had been a prior nomination of her (not yours; long before yours) for top primitive, and so Nance Greggs gets two spots on the ballot.

I nominate Frenchie Cat, mostly because amongst the BOG she stands out as the President's most angry defender and because of her beat poetry sessions where she goes into a transcendental poetry rant that I hear bongos and William Shatner reciting when I read it.

Is she still there? for some reason until the other day I hadn't seen a post of hers at all, is she just in the BOG forum?

By the way, folks, we've never been able to determine if it was the TwixVoy primitive who got that tourist visa for Portugal, and was planning to emigrate there, and that nomination was contingent upon whether or not this was in fact the TwixVoy primitive.

So unless someone can determine that yes, it was the TwixVoy primitive, or come up with other reasons to nominate the TwixVoy primitive, we'll have to exclude the TwixVoy primitive from the ballot.

Here frank, it's twixvoy:

Top 10's not enough, Frank.  

They are responsible for an entire exodus from the DUmp this year.  And while the collective IQ at DU was never high, it really took a dive in recent months as the BOG hounded anyone with a brain cell that wasn't compromised by weed or Kool Aid.  Those of us who were hanging on to the Democratic party by a thread--and don't ask why, we all have jobs, we get busy, we don't have time to change affiliations for Christ's sake--were pushed hard enough to make that thread snap.  At this point, I'm writing in Somali names for every office I can and am calling myself the Pirate Party. Let the freaking gov'mnt figure out how to handle it.   :popcorn:

Top 10's not enough, Frank.

Well now, madam, there's two singular, distinctive, awards too, the Willie and the Annie.

The Willie's given to the primitive (or group of primitives) who's done a great deal to enhance the good name and credibility of Skins's island (and not necessarily only in 2010; past years count too).

The Annie's given to the primitive (or group of primitives) who's most likely to succeed on Skins's island, but fail in the real world; again, years before this current one count too.

If you think USA4ME's nomination of the B0G as top primitive of 2010 is too modest, and if you think the B0G deserves one of the above two awards, by all means feel free to nominate them.

The rules are:

only one Willie is awarded
only one Annie is awarded

one gets to vote for ten primitives for top primitive, but twenty primitives are awarded.

I believe bobbolink has already got nominated in all three categories, and so yes, one can nominate primitives in more than just one category.

But the lying tits primitive won the Willie, the first one ever awarded, last year, and so isn't eligible again.

There's also been discussion about, after a primitive's been a top primitive (in the top ten of the twenty) for x number of years, say 3 or 5 years, that the primitive no longer be eligible for nomination and selection too--some are fearful that the top primitives might end up the same old faces every year.

I only red a wee bit of it, but I figured you guys would relish picking it apart, dissecting it, and dismembering it.  :-)

Hell, that's a whole library of comments over there.

It looks like the peasants are uprising.

My fellow alum Skins is going to have some cleaning up to do, when he returns to the office Friday morning.

Anybody want to take any "over/under" on the odds of Oscar Wilde being mausoleumed in the morning, when my fellow alum shows up at the office?

I'll bet Oscar's history even before he wins a top primitive of 2010 award.

The Wrath of Skins is a terrible, a fearful, a dread, thing to behold; trust me, I know.

I don't know much of the wrath of Skinner. I do have a bit of knowledge on how unpredictable he that. That with being a hard, hard, hard leftist is a dangerous, and volatile combo.

I'll say Wilde is enshrined at or before 11AM tomorrow.

After much thought and contemplation--and dismay--I am nominating my fellow alum Skins, "Skinner," for top primitive, even though strictly speaking my fellow alum isn't a primitive.

It tore the guts out, but one has to do what one has to do.

And for the Willie, the award for the primitive who's done a great deal to give credibility to Skins' island the past several years, in the manner of USA4ME nominating a whole group, the B0G group for top primitive, I also nominate the Three Stooges Moe, Curly Joe, and Larry ("Skinner," "EarlG," and "Elad," respectively).

When it comes to evaluating the primitives, the buck stops at the corporate offices of Skins's island.

I understand frank, I've been going back and forth on his nomination, on 1 hand he enables all the insanity BUT on the other hand I look at it like this (puts on regressive hat to use DU logic) Skinner you can say is the CEO and DU is the organization and the posters are the workers who push the insanity, should we reward the CEO? or the workers?

To use a sports analogy, worker= players and CEO= manager. When a team is a loser, much like the Detroit Lions, the manager/head coach gets the blame and is fired. Not the players. The new coach inherits the same old team.

chris_ is going to dislike me, but while the sparkling husband primitive was nominated for the Annie, for being one of life's losers, no one nominated him for one of the top primitives.

And so now Stinky the Clown's been nominated for top primitive.

Fifty-two so far for top primitive, which explains why we get twenty top primitives even if everybody can vote for only ten.  I imagine it'll be like last year, circa 60.  There's still about eight hours open for nominations.

Actually, last year's top winner, the greenbirar primitive, had just been a casual nomination at the time nominations were being made.  It was after nominations were closed, and that voting actually began, when the greenbriar primitive made a rather spectacular campaign to seize the number one spot, which she did.

But she wouldn't have, if she hadn't campaigned during the voting, which is for about ten days.

That's why, when making nominations, although it's not required, it's good to defend or publicize one's choices, a sort of "inform the voters" thing.

It's done on the voting thread too--since one can change one's original votes any time during the nine or ten days voting occurs--where voters defend or promote their choices.

Me?  I just look at the list, and determine which of the ****heads gave me the most stomach-acid all year long.

Ideally, it's supposed to work that one gives one's reasons during the nomination thread, and just votes in the voting thread.

But inevitably some give reasons in the voting thread too, so as to persuade other voters.

It's sort of a problem, but it's inevitable, and so Mr. Wiggum and franksolich just go with the flow.

If one wants to give one's reasons in the voting thread, it's copacetic; we're cool with it.

As for a synopsis, no.

The official ballot has only the official primitive screen-names, so as to keep confusion at a minimum.
