The Willie was first awarded last year, 2009, known as the "Lifetime Achievement Award," given to the primitive who's done considerable to spread the good name and reputation of DUmmieland far and wide, promoting its veracity and credibility, enhancing its standing as a paragon of honest truth and good taste; truly a model for other message-boards to emulate.
The name was shortened to the Willie this year, so as to save depreciation on the keyboard.
The first winner of the Willie, last year, was the "TomInTib" primitive, or TiT, or the lying tits primitive, who certainly did an outstanding job in demonstrating the veracity of Skins's island, what with his being the second most-decorated veteran in American history, and all his tales of dashing and daring, as a Navy SEAL training Army Green Berets in Vietnam, and piloting an Air Force bomber over Laos.
Among much other braggadaccio.
Unfortunately, my fellow alum Skins is unappreciative of public relations efforts on behalf of his real-estate that are not under my fellow alum's thumb, and the lying tits primitive became history around Christmas 2008.
This year, the second year of the Willie, there were twelve names on the ballot:
-Alan Grayson
-bobbolink
-BouncyBall
-CaliforniaPeggy
-Demtenjeep
-Octafish
-Proud2bLibKansan
-spooked911
-the Big Three (Skinner, EarlG, Elad)
-TruthIsAll
-WilliamPitt
-xultar
This year, the voting for the Willie ended up in a tie, two winners having to share the glory.
BouncyBall, who has not been seen on Skins's island for years, but whose memory persists.
BouncyBall was allegedly a bubbly, effervescent teacher's aide in a grade school down in Texas, who wrote many legendary tales about conversion of Republicans and conservatives, to Democrats and primitives.
BouncyBall was so prolific in her tales that she attracted the notice of etymologists and vocabularians all over the world, who officially designated a "bouncy," named in her honor, for anecdotes, stories, jokes, and legends about improbable ideological conversions:

The background to the bouncies, although BouncyBall is not properly credited, is explained here:

WilliamPitt, a still-surviving primitive on Skins's island despite his numerous drunken spiels insulting my fellow alum Skins (and other primitives in general), also known as the Pittster or the Bostonian Drunkard.
The Bostonian Drunkard's done numerous stupidities over the years on Skins's island, attracting even the notice of the news media out here in the real world, but his classic was during the nonIndictiment of Karl Rove on May 12, 2006; it's even made Google, and deserves to be seen in all its glory at the original location:

There were other campfires raging about the issue at the time, the disappointed primitives castigating the Bostonian Drunkard for lying to them, but those were considerably locked and deleted by Skins.
Incidentally, it was during Fitzmas that a primitive coined the endearing term "freudenschade."
But.....despite all his embarrassments ("you can bank on it," "Kerry will challenge Ohio," his internet marriage, ad nauseam), the Bostonian Drunkard lives on, not only on Skins's island but in a geographic place-name.
From the picture window in franksolich's living room, looking out at the eastern horizon of the Sandhills of Nebraska, about a city block and a half away, there's a mound, a really big mound, resembling the Jungfrau of the Swiss Alps in miniature. To the casual observer, it's just a mound, nothing more; to a native of the Sandhills, it's just a man-made mound, nothing more.
But to a soil scientist, it's 740 cubic yards of antique swine excrement, dating from 1875-1950.
The William Rivers Pitt; thus is the Bostonian Drunkard commemorated out here in Nebraska.

Good pick for the Willie. Even with your reminders Frank, I had forgotten to vote. But the picks were great. I loved the 24 business hours. :rotf: I showed that to all the guys at work. Everyone asked if he was a dumbass and truthfully I said yes.....

What happened to BouncyBall that she stopped posting? Tombstoned?

I don't think so, but I don't know for sure.
I suspect she just went away.
-
I think she just got tired of being made fun of. After a while, even the DUmmies were calling them bouncies and not believing her. Even though they still love to tell the stories of conversions, they just weren't the same since she left.

OK, thanks for the info. I figured that kernel was buried deep in the archives here somewhere, but I wasn't sure how to look for it. :hammer:

This was back when alot of us were still over at CU. Sorry for the thread jack, Frank.

No thread jack, sir; this is wide open, although one sort of hopes a certain someone doesn't show up at it.

Excellent, deserving recipients of the dishonor. Pitt has commemorated his prize with his latest embarrassment, the plagiarized quote that caught lunatic Michael Moore's attention.
But I weep for DUmmy TIA. I think we can soon expect to see an Excel spreadsheet proving TIA had more votes than Wee Willie, with 99.87% probability, 98.74% of the time (more reliable than Sex Panther cologne). He was robbed.
-
I can't remember who I voted for, for the Willie--but I've got a feeling that I voted for Mr. Pittstain.
Good work, Ralphie and Coach.
-
Congrats to the winners!
And thanks for the background info of how the Bouncy became a phrase.
-
Pitt is Da DUmmie!!! :-)
-
Though I didn't vote for either one, they are both shining examples of primitives. Congrats to the winners.
-
Listen up Skinner, EarlG and Elad. You coulda been a contender. This coming year, Y'All have to buckle down and apply your self. One sure way to ensure the top positions next year is to TS the entire inhabitants of the island. Being the only remaining primitives remaining, is would be incumbent of you three to provide the required funding to continue the existence of the DUmp.

Wow, a tie in both the Willie and the Annie, and I voted for one of the co-winners in each. I suppose there's no run-off?
It was NOT an easy choice, at least for me.
Anyways, congradulations to the winners.
-
Damn, I didn't think that Redstone would win the Annie, but I figured that spooked911 had a shot at the Willie...

Yeah, I had high hopes for Chief S itting Bull winning the Annie.....until about five minutes into the voting, after which those hopes deflated like a pinned balloon.
spooked911 did have a shot at the Willie, but apparently got narrowly edged out by the four winners; remember, I had said voting was considerably fragmented this year, as compared with past years, and so every vote for every candidate was decisive.
If memory serves me correctly, though, spooked 911 is up for a top primitive, and so may yet be among them.

Yeah, I was shocked on both counts. I went back and double-checked and it was still a tie. Oh well, it is the giving season, more winners to go around! :lmao:

I would've voted for Redstone but he disappointed me when he never followed up on his bouncy about going to Arizona to kick Jan Brewer's butt! Oh well --Pitt's ego never fails to disappoint.

So who gets to jump out of the bushes dressed as a cop to do the presentation?
