Hi, Cave people! This is my first post here. I registered for the Cave today, since I couldn't see the DUmpster without registering. Thought it was a change of policy; found out it's a temporary measure.
But as long as I'm registered now, I want to let you know that I appreciate the DUmpster. I have often peered into the Cave to see what you guys are talking about and to scout out DUFUable threads. A number of times you have given me ideas for the DUFUs. Thanx!
The lineage, the shared history, of the DUmmie FUnnies and the Cave's DUmpster goes back quite a ways. September 22 will mark the 7th anniversary of the first edition of the DUmmie FUnnies (09-22-04) as a regular feature on Free Republic. PJ-Comix is the one who started it all. franksolich and I came along soon thereafter as "pingees." PJ, frank, and I all were heavily involved in 2005 in chronicling the Andy Stephenson Situation (Scamdy), which is when the DUFUs really took off. Some time later, frank started doing his own thing, ending up here in the Cave (while still contributing as a commenter on FR), and PJ added me on as a cohost of the DUFUs (both on FR and, by then, the DUmmie FUnnies blogspot). PJ doesn't DUFU as much as he used to; he's been doing more on NewsBusters, the Examiner, and the Coupon Whisperer. I try to do a couple DUFUs a week, but time doesn't always permit.
I see DUmmie FUnnies and the DUmpster as complementary, symbiotic even. The Cave tends to emphasize the various individual personalities of the primitives a little more. While we do that too on DUmmie FUnnies (e.g., Pied Piper Pitt, Know-it-all Nadin, Bobo the Hobo, Sarah Ibuprofen), PJ and I specialize more in the satirical one-liner comebacks to the DUmmie comments (with some parodies thrown in too). It's all good!
So, it's nice to finally greet the Cave. I know I see many of you also on the DUFUs (Ballygrl, in particular, is a good go-between between the two places). And I know I even see some of you, like me (although under my nom de DUmp), in DUmmieland itself, if you catch my drift. Hee! Hee!
-
Welcome to CC Charles. I don't post much at FR these days but I do drop in to read DUFU's, so I'm glad you have decided to join us.
-
Of course the most-excellent DUmmie FUnnies and the DUmpster complement each other, sir.
I view them both as being a public service, for the Good of Humanity.
You're right about the differing emphases; the DUmmie FUnnies concentrates on a single campfire from Skins's island, while the DUmpster tends to (please notice the "tends to") justifably parody individual primitives.
It all works out; it works out well.
We've linked to the DUmmie FUnnies here many times, and some "collections" are in the DUmping Ground forum (as compared with the DUmpster); sometimes from the blogspot, other times from freerepublic.
So feel free to join in the fun, sir!

Welcome, oh great and powerful thorn in DU's side!

Hat tip and ^5 from Big Daddy BannedFrom DU, sir.

A celebrity! :yahoo:
Welcome. :-)
-
Oh cool! nice to see you here.
-
Even though I didn't see Coach's comments before I tried to reply myself, I echo his sentiments.
It seems that we all have a symbiotic relationship--all three of the sites could (conceiveably) survive without the other two, but each improves the other two, so why bother screwing with a good thing?
Welcome, Charles! :cheersmate: And an H5 to boot!
-
Welcome, good sir. Another dap of the cyber skin to my homeboy of conservative witticism.
And to beat a certain bitch-slap happy poster to the punch, do you like peach cobbler?
-
Some time later, frank started doing his own thing.....
That's it in a nutshell, sir.
<<lone wolf, wanders around at will.
<<luftmenschen.
Anyway, I dunno who all is here who's been fans of the DUmmie FUnnies, but you might recognize delilahmused as "gardencatz" over there, and my good friend commonguymd, a prince of a pal.
I think NHSparky too, but his name on the DUmmie FUnnies, I forget.
-
Welcome, reverend! :cheersmate: :lmao:
-
Welcome Charles, I enjoy your work at FR.
On a side note it's nice to see a thread not started by Chris_. :-)
-
Welcome, reverend! :cheersmate: :lmao:
-
Welcome, reverend! :cheersmate: :lmao:
You can say that again.
Ohh you did. :tongue:
-
You know, if you collected your song parodies, I'd be more than happy to put them in the DUmping Ground.
Sort of like miskie's "Big Book of Poetry," a parody of the CalPig primitive, and such a wonderful one.
The DUmpster's actually three sections, like with a library.
The DUmpster itself is the "general circulation" section. The "DUmping Ground" is the "reference" section. "Mind-Numbing Stupidity" is the miscellaneous stuff.
-
You can say that again.
Ohh you did. :tongue:
Sorry, posting error. It does get me closer to 1k, though. :whistling: :lmao:
-
Oh, and I forgot to say, in all due respect for your calling, we allow language that's a tad bit rougher over here, than on freerepublic. I hope you don't mind, but really, the primitives can make one cursedly angry.
And once in a while, there's a certain picture that shows up here, but never mind; it's up for only a minute or two, and then quickly taken down. It's bait for the lurking primitives; decent and civilized people are supposed to pay it no attention.

Quitcher whinin'. I fixed your account already.

Welcome, fellow enemy of the State!

Quitcher whinin'. I fixed your account already.
I'm just playing dude.
Thanks for fixing it.
-
Welcome, Charles. Great to have you here.
-
Welcome Charles. Well, this brings it full circle for me. Shortly after my political reawakening, I found the DUFU. I had no idea about DU's existence, so of course I had to check it out. Shortly thereafter, I honed my skills at shouting expletives at my computer monitor. I knew Ballygrl from another forum, and she directed me to the Cave. So, life is complete, sans the fact that I still have not met Matthew McConaughey.

And you are partially responsible! :-)

Me Neither. :bawl:

You being a preacher, should I watch my language? ...because it would be easier to stop drinking. :drunksailor:

Charles!!! So glad you're here! Be looking for your "color commentary"! Was that racist?

Charles!!! So glad you're here! Be looking for your "color commentary"! Was that racist?
Yes. As is nearly everything else.
-
Howdy Charles - love your work!
But I'm a little confused (it's the blond hair), who is PJ Gladnik, or are you one and the same person? Does that mean you post at Newsbusters, too?
-
the DUmmie FUnnies concentrates on a single campfire from Skins's island. . .
Or at most three or four threads, sometimes, in a single DUFU. But then PJ and I often only get to three or four DUFUs a week. So there's a lot of material I don't comment on. Also, sometimes there's a campfire with only a couple of comments worth a witty retort, but not enough to build a DUFU around.
However, with your DUmpster here, and the multitude of threads you cover, perhaps that may be a way for me to comment on something I couldn't get to in the DUmmie FUnnies. . . . So, coming here today has sparked that thought. . . .
-
Howdy Charles - love your work!

He and PJ aren't the same. Charles does write most of the lyrics you see in the DUFU's. Charles is a reverend with an irreverent sense of humor. If I lived near him I'd convert to Lutheranism just to hear him preach.

A celebrity!
Me? Naah. Our mission is to MAKE celebrities out of our playful little DUmmie ants, who provide us with hours of endless entertainment! Just think: Pitt, Nadin, Bobo, CalPig, madflo--where would they be without our making them famous?
Thanx for the welcome, though, Chris!
-
Oh cool! nice to see you here.
Ballygrl, I want to commend you, specifically, for being our consistent liaison between the Cave and DUFU-on-FR. Tip o' the cap!
-
And to beat a certain bitch-slap happy poster to the punch, do you like peach cobbler?
Why, yes, I do! And punch, too!
Is this like a Kewpie Doll, do I get some?
-

Yes, and I hope all you DUmmie FUnnie pingees will continue to contribute your comments on the DUFUs on FR.
You know, the DUmpster and the DUmmie FUnnies are kind of like parallel universes: different names, different vocabularies. . . .
Skins's Island = DUmmieland/Ant Farm
Primitives = DUmmies/Moonbats
Campfire = Thread/DUFU
Bostonian Drunkard = Pied Piper Pitt
Nutcase Nadin = Know-it-all Nadin
And the list goes on and on. . . .
But do you have an official mascot? The DUmmie FUnnies, of course, has Li'l Beaver.
-
On a side note it's nice to see a thread not started by Chris_. :-)
And you sure this one isn't? Have you ever seen Chris_ and me in the same room?
-
You know, if you collected your song parodies, I'd be more than happy to put them in the DUmping Ground.
You know, if I tried to collect all my parodies, I think I'd be ready for the Happy Hunting Ground! There must be at least many dozens, if not hundreds!
Yes, I am "the wag tailoring the doggerel." But that doesn't mean I know where all my doggerel have gone!
-
Oh, and I forgot to say, in all due respect for your calling, we allow language that's a tad bit rougher over here, than on freerepublic.
Precisely because of my calling, there is not much that shocks me. And you should see the stuff that's posted in the comments on the DUmmie FUnnies blogspot version! That troglaman guy. . . .

Coach--I'm on FR for now, but as OCCASparky. The difference in names is owing to location.
And Charles, as far as the doll goes, you'll have to take that up with management.
-

As far as I know, PJ does not have blond hair. Nor do I.
PJ Gladnick and PJ-Comix are one and the same person. But I have never met either. We have only corresponded over the *algore.
* "the algore" = "the internets," much as "to nadin" = "to look things up on the google"

Charles is a reverend with an irreverent sense of humor. If I lived near him I'd convert to Lutheranism just to hear him preach.
Thank you, Cindie. How far are you from the St. Louis area? Would it be much of a commute? :wink:
I don't do too much joke-ifying in my preaching. I take that more seriously.
BTW, if anyone's interested in my church or my sermons, here's a link:
http://stmatthewbt.org
And speaking of preaching, I've got to do that in about nine hours, so I bid you all good night!

The DUmpmonkeys hate Luthies.
-
Charles! Thank you so much for registering here, I have been a fan for many years and I really appreciate what you do. I hope that you make yourself comfortable and stay a while.
-
Welcome to CC!! :)
-
Welcome to the Cave! :cheersmate:
-
Charles--you're Lutheran? So is my wife. Missouri Synod, even. I'm Roman Catholic, and our daughter is being raised as a Catholic. My MIL tried, over 10 years ago, to recruit me for her choir at her church. I now sing at my church--matter of fact, less than two hours from typing this, I've got to be at St. Edward's to sing at the 9 AM Mass.
-
Nice to meet you.
-
Nice to meet you.
Whoa.
I just thought of something.
You're on freerepublic too, under a different screen-name, right?
The guy from Michigan with whom I used to have a lot of conversations during the Scamdal of 2005?
-

Very nice web page. Love the layout, may actually get to reading a sermon or two.
How many are in your congregation?
-

Yay, troggyboy.
Read DUFU for a couple years before finding CC.

Welcome and a H5 for all your fine work. :cheersmate:
-
Welcome. :wink:

Welcome Charles!.......DUFU has given hours of entertainment. Glad that you decided to join us.

Yes.
-
Yes.
How well I remember.
We didn't converse a whole lot, but we conversed whenever I was rattled, and you were a calming influence.
Damn.
I knew Tucker before I knew Tucker. Odd how that works.
-
Welcome, Charles, sorry to be late to the party, I was tent-camping all weekend and so have been off-line for the past three days. I greatly enjoy your witty style with word and idea associations on DUFU, and frequently toss in my own $.02.
Recently I have taken to just posting anonymously, since something in your comment software apparently takes exception rather randomly to my screenname here (A well-known and long-established Army phrase for America's hard-headed elite mechanized armored warriors), so I end the 'Anon' posts with an equally-enduring Army synonym for the same phrase, "DAT."
:dozer:
-
Thanks for all your effort and all the laughs!
-
I honestly don't check out the DUFU all that often, BUT every time I do I always come away laughing and entertained. Thanks.
-
A big Welcome to the Cave.
:fuelfire:
^ This happens a lot around here :-)

I live in Oregon. But we're taking our grandchildren to Disney World next year and driving across the country with stops along the way. The best way to learn about the country is to explore it, besides I'm a homeschooler at heart and like real life learning. Your website is wonderful!

Welcome and thank you so much for the entertainment you provide. Keep up the great work :-)

Hey Charles!

Welcome Charles!
I would nominate Vesta as our mascot, but I'm not sure how many here would like that....
