Title: nominating thread (11-21 through 12-01) for Top DUmmies of 2012
Post by: franksolich on November 18, 2012, 01:50:37 AM
Welcome to the nominating thread for the top Dummies of 2012!

This was a year of some great disappointments, discouragements, and setbacks.  No primitive went ballastic as much as one hoped; many primitives threatened to leave Skins’s island but never did; and a few primitives even threatened to end it all, but alas never did.

But regardless; another year has fallen away like the leaves in autumn, and mere chronology demands awards for even a lackluster annum.

Nominations for the Top DUmmies of 2012, along with the two special awards, will be accepted from circa supper-time Thanksgiving Eve, November 21, through supper-time December 1.  All nominations must be publicly given, out in the open.

Voting for the Top DUmmies of 2012, along with the two special awards, will take place from circa supper-time December 2 through supper-time December 12.  Voting may be done either publicly or by secret ballot, which will be explained in the voting thread.

Awards will be doled out beginning the afternoon of Christmas Eve, December 24, continuing through the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, December 31.

- - - - - - - - - - -

There are twenty Top DUmmies elected, culminating in the Top DUmmie of 2012, the grand prize.

One may make as many nominations as one wishes, and such nominations may include primitives no longer on Skins‘s island, but who were around any time between late November 2011 and the present.

There are also two special awards, the William Rivers Pitt (the “Willie”) and the Steve Dawes (the “Steve”) awards, for whom the criteria are somewhat different. 

Top DUmmies are usually chosen based upon their performance of the past year, and can repeat from year to year if they put out enough.

The “Willie” however is award the primitive who did the most to spread and enhance the good name and reputation of Skins’s island on both the internet and in real life, and can be any primitive from any year since the beginning, 2001.

The “Willie” is a one-time award only, previous winners not eligible.

The previous winners of the “Willie” have been TomInTib, bobbolink, WilliamPitt, and nadinbrzezinski, so don’t bother nominating any of them; they’re not eligible.

There is a list of past winners of all awards here:

http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,66225.0.html

The “Steve” is a new award, given the primitive who did the best job of making an ass of himself all by his own self, without the help of anybody else, during the past year.  Every primitive, prominent or not, does that to one extent or another, but the “Steve” is given to that primitive who did the best bang-up job of it, making an ass of himself.

- - - - - - - - - -

Nominations must be accompanied with an explanatory or descriptive phrase, such as “[name of primitive] because he was such a jerk to his own family.”  Mere names of primitives or vague statements such as “[name of primitive] because he’s a jerk” will not be accepted in placement on the ballot.

- - - - - - - - - -

If one wishes to nominate a certain primitive, but is not sure of the exact name, this nominating thread is where one should inquire; also, “campaigning” for one primitive or another is permitted here, and in fact encouraged.

- - - - - - - - - -

Rules for voting will be posted on the voting thread, to come up December 2; this thread is for nominations only, and if one has questions about voting, please withhold those for the voting thread.

Only members of conservativecave are allowed to nominate, although votes are accepted from any bona fide member of any bona fide site; how the latter is done will be explained on the voting thread.

- - - - - - - - - -

The Top DUmmies is an original creation of Ralph Wiggum many years ago, and is currently a joint operation of Mr. Wiggum and franksolich.  franksolich determines the ballot, and Mr. Wiggum counts the votes; each separate and apart from each other so as to ensure the integrity of the entire process.

Damn.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it; I knew I forgot something.

On Sunday, while looking around for a certain miniature screwdriver in one of the desks in the unused part of this house, I came across a grocery list, from last March.  I was curious as to why I'd saved a grocery list, but when I flipped it over to the other side, mystery solved; there were some hand-written notes on it.

In addition to the "Willie" and the "Steve" as special awards--apart from the regular Top DUmmies--there's a third one I'd thought up last spring.

It's meant for the primitive who did the best job of making decent and civilized people :rotf: over the past year.

All primitives of course make us roll all over the floor laughing out loud, because of their utter stupidity.

But surely there's been a primitive this past year that stood out, making one laugh louder and longer, when compared with all other primitives.

So.....in addition to the William Rivers Pitt award and the Steve Dawes award, there's also the Robyn McGrath award, for the primitive whose utter stupidity made one laugh and laugh and laugh all year long.

So we have the Top DUmmies, the "Willie," the "Steve".....and the "Rob."

Okay now, I am really pissed off beyond pissed off, with the stupid paranoia of the primitives, who think "freepers" are "out to get" them.

"freepers" are "out to get" liars and thieves.

As long as a primitive is open and forthright and honest, "freepers" leave him alone in peace and quiet; don't even give him a second thought.

"freepers" have never--not once--mocked or ridiculed or derided a primitive who was honest.

So I'm opening up this nominating thread a day early, so "freepers" can go get 'em, the liars and thieves among the primitives on Skins's island.

I have my own nominations to make, for the top DUmmies, and for each of the three special awards, but I'll wait and post them as this thread moves along; there's about ten days to make nominations, and there'll be about ten days for voting, either publicly or privately.

Nominate away, folks.....after you've read the rules.

I dunno why not, but it'd be a little hard writing an award for the whole of Skins's island; oceans of ink and vast forests of paper.

But if there's sentiment for it, I suppose.

Of course it's been a down year, what with the mediocre talent that crossed the stage in front of this audience.

There weren't any John Barrymores or Katharine Hepburns in the whole bunch this year.

But the end of 2012's on nigh, and one must give out the awards.

For starters, I have the honor of nominating my fellow Nebraskan, the big guy Omaha Steve, for top DUmmie, given his exaggerated reaction to a web-site his good friends set up for him; I really doubt www.electstevedawes.com had any effect on the primary race for the Bellevue city council, but the big guy obviously did, which made it so funny.

This nomination's for Top DUmmie only; not for any of the three special awards, the Willie, the Steve, or the Rob.  I'll make nominations for those later.

I also nominate the brain-damaged primitive, DainBramaged. for his laughable inability to see that he himself is the reason he's such a loser, such a wretched, contemptible, unhappy being with so much "bad luck" and misfortune.

The problem is, he hasn't gotten even a tenth of the grief he deserves for being the way he is.

And if he wins, I'm kind of hoping it's a posthumous award, because a tree weakened by the hurricane Sandy, or a power-line snapping, fell on him.  It'd put him out of his self-inflicted misery.

Hey all. Normally I don't bother with online forums of the enemy but I do have to say, I'm not one to hold back from criticism. I believe that the republican Party is, first and foremost, a criminal organization, rather than a political party. I'll take your word that you won't ban me for having an opinion like that.

For the record, you have one thing going on DU: I've been after them to open up a section for all posters, not just progressives. But them's the rules and I gotta follow them. So I've decided to engage here.

Anyway. that's it for now.

I don't see any of your responses that make sense. Only by taxing those who have enriched themselves throught he productive labor of our workers would justify allowing them to move in the first place. Making money is not like freedom of movement; you have to share it properly in order to be effective. It's not fair that a state would be penalized because they want their citizens to have a minimum level of protection.

Okay, with that explanation, I'm putting the Taverner primitive on the ballot.

Remember the rules.

Thus far we got Omaha Steve, DainBramaged, Ban The GOP, and Taverner.

I think it's an auspicious start.

I'd like to throw Aviationpro into the mix.

My reasoning is, even though I have never read the rude pundit, but it seems that the avpro misfit made his way on the island by stealing his shtick.

And I also think that if you can't make a point without every third word being some grotesque reference to  :censored: then you just can't make a point.

But the DUmmies did slurp it up though.

My nominees

nadin. I nominate her because the only thing that she has NOT done in her life, other than act modest and intelligent, is be a multiple DOTY winner.

Stinky the Clown. He knows he smells badly. He knows he's clownish. And I think deep down he knows he really is an internet laughing stock.

Omaha Steve. If he had a six-shot revolver he'd still find a way to shoot himself in the foot seven times. He's brought us cutting edge inside info that no one else is aware of along the lines of: it's dark at night. Apparently, this year he got jealous of Stinky's role as internet laughing stock and worked at keeping Sticky company. Honestly though, I feel this nomination is wasted because he's never won any thing else that he's ran for.

William Pitt. No, he has not risen to the top, but that's what makes him special. He's found a way to be that most insignificant at a web site full of insignificance.

DemTenJeep (or whatever she's calling herself). She's been sick and/or dying longer than the a walker from the Walking Dead. This ought to count for something.

That janitor guy who pretends he's a dentist. I can't remember his name, but if he wins I'll make up a certificate of some sort so he'll finally have something to hang on the wall…of the broom closet.

The Magistrate. He's irritating as hell sir. Or in the words of Foghorn Leghorn: I say that boy’s just like a tatoo, gets under your skin

Hope Hoops for the Steve.  He's a nasty ass.  

DonRedwood for the Willie. He wants to be Mr. DU.

California Peggy for the Rob. She tries so hard to be so cool but fails and it makes me laugh.

DOTY

Whovian

Because he is the ultimate DUmmy.

I will 2nd Nadin's name out there for Top DUmmy of 2012 Why the hell not. She's been as hot as ever since last year's votes were cast. Her Sandy threads earthquake threads, her massive ignore list, and the fact that her absolute narcissistic craziness inspired Dummies to rip her to shreds in a giant thread that DIDN'T go down the Skimmer hole as far as I know have all made me laugh, roll my eyes, sigh in dismayed disappointment, and laugh some more.

She is truly the Top DUmmie. IMO, she's the Undisputed Top DUmmy

Gnads - for being an insane balding dwarf with an ego the size of Mt Everest
Sabrinanumbers - for being the consummate compassionate prog and Gnads most devoted suckup
OS - for having a magnificent neck beard and being a *****
Demtenjeep - for failing to die even after promising to do so
MineralOil - for wanting to be so important on Skins that he manly endures their abuse in Meta on a regular   basis
darkangelnumbers - for trying so hard to matter by sucking up to Gnads and others
Grantcart - for thinking he's as important and effective as PittStain
The Meta Forum - for providing free entertainment
Skins, et al - for providing Meta

OK, I'll withdraw that nomination of ArcticDave since that's the only thread I think I've seen him in, so it's probably not worth a DOTY.

PCIntern
Sarah Ibarruri
MiddleFingerMom

Sabrina whatever her name is

Whoa.

We're moving along nicely here, and this was opened 24 hours before schedule.

<<takes clues from the Democrats about early voting.

I wish to nominate the dropsical LynneSin primitive for Top DUmmie of 2012.

I've followed the LynneSin primitive for a while, and until recently she impressed me merely as another shallow air-head.

But then when she started complaining about being plus-sized, I started looking at her closer than I had.

This primitive probably takes up half the acreage of Delaware--something I'd never really noticed until she began whining.

Sadly, it's not fat one sees wrapping around her; it's water.  The LynneSin primitive strikes one has being excessively dropsical, probably caused by her taking too many mood-altering and older-woman-problems pharmaceuticals.  I'll bet her kidneys work hardly at all.  I hope to God she's having it checked out.

The demise of some of the other fat primitives would bother one not at all, but hey, we barely got to know her, and want her to be around a while yet, to provide decent and civilized people some amusement.

Then last week the LynneSin primitive further cooperated in my campaign to get her selected when she posted some sort of "letter" to Barack Milhous, begging that he pay attention to the primitives.

It was a weird piece; it was as if a medieval serf were praying a favor from the king, this "liege lord and master" and "subservient servant" manner of writing.  It was a textbook example of how the primitives venerate and worship the Great Half-White Father in Washington.

Of course, the LynneSin primitive, like most other primitives, fails to understand something; Barack Milhous doesn't give a whit about the primitives, nor do professional Democrats and liberals. 

The primitives don't count to their betters; they're just crazy relatives kept locked up in the attic.

The primitives count only to decent and civilized people who read the DUmpster for amusement and entertainment.  The primitives count only to us.

By the way, the nominating and voting threads here draw primitives in crowds, mobs, hordes.

So if anyone wishes to vent some frustration or ridicule at the primitives, this thread is a great place to do so, and of course it's allowed.  Nominating isn't as serious as voting, and so have some fun--shout out to a primitive if one wishes, as it's pretty likely the primitive to whom one directs his comment will read it.

I have lots more nominations to make myself, but we got ten days to go, and so mine'll be parceled out.

Remember, while one can vote for only ten primitives to be the Top DUmmies, there is no limit on the number of primitives one can nominate.

He was my nomination as well and I almost feel bad for doing it because he's straight jacket grade certifiable. His absolute jealousy and hatred of his fellow man for daring to have more ten him to the point he would ok genocide just puts him ahead of all the others.

As long as she or Omaha Steve don't win one of the major awards, I'm fine with it!

I'm going to parcel mine out too, over the days. 

I would like to nominate a perhaps overlooked primitive for the ballot.  Big DUmb Darryl, one of my favorites.  Why?  'Cause he's just so DUmb, that's why.  He recently posted a whole new thread in GD about Miley Cyrus's hair.  It got hidden for being stupid, and he took offense:

For the William Rivers Pitt award, the "Willie," given the primitive who's done a really good job of spreading and enhancing the name and reputation of Skins's island throughout the years, I again, wearily, nominate poor stupid Beth, the now-gone "EFerrari" primitive, once known as "sfexpat2000."

Poor stupid Beth left Skins's island last August after having been there since November 2004, and gotten the highest number of comments by any primitive, ever.  She seemed destined to reach the quarter-million mark at the time she went away.

It's been years now, but it was poor stupid Beth who contrived the Scamdal involving the late red round one way back in April 2005, which rocked the internet for some months, involving several sites in addition to Skins's island, bringing down the scorn and laughter of tens of millions.

I dunno how many other sites eventually were involved; probably at least a hundred, it was that big, this really stupid stunt of hers.

It was bigger than Fitzmas.

No point in listing the primitives nominated thus far for Top DUmmies of 2012--remember, twenty are selected, and duplicate nominations on this thread are perfectly okay, perfectly fine.

However, nominations for the three special awards seem to be lagging.

For the "Willie," the premier special award, given the primitive who did a really good job spreading the name and reputation of Skins's island all over the internet--any time since the beginning, January 2001--we have thus far:

DonRedwood
the rich bitch the kpete primitive
poor stupid Beth, EFerrari

For the "Steve," a new award this year, given the primitive who did the best job of making an ass of himself, all by himself, this past year--we have thus far:

Hope Hoops
PCIntern

If the "Steve" had existed last year, the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive probably would've won hands down, given the way she made an ass of herself denigrating customers of the tea shoppe where she worked, which resulted in her losing her job there, but that was last year, and this is this year.

For the "Rob," the Robyn McGrath award, given the primitive who always makes one laugh and snort in derision no matter the subject, we have thus far:

the CalPig, the CaliforniaPeggy primitive

The DU bully - they are legion, and a class of their own. 

Now, that's an interesting one, although I've amended it to "the bullies," as there's more than one.

It's a way of applauding primitives decent and civilized people tend to admire, given the way they've been bullied by the ultimate bully of Skins's island, without putting those primitives at risk--remember, a compliment of a primitive by decent and civilized people is generally a death-warrant for the primitive on Skins's island.

So yeah, sure, "the bullies" as a group.

The Robyn McGrath award's named after Atman, but Cryano's a good candidate for being the first winner.

After all, the Bostonian Drunkard didn't make it the first year the Willie was awarded--in fact, he wasn't even nominated--even though that award was named for him.

It's all good.

And oh yes, it shouldn't be any secret I'm nominating Atman for the "Rob," as the primitive who made one :rotf: the most this past year, no matter the subject.

Atman's a peculiar case; he comes from a good family, the right side of the tracks, the Country Club set, but he desperately seeks the approval of what was once known, in a kinder and gentler era, as the trailer court trash, the lumpenunterprimitiven, the faceless lynch mob on Skins's island.

But then he always mucks it up, obviously never having read any books about how to win friends and influence people.

His campfires are a riot as they start out reasonably well, but then half-way or two-thirds of the way through them, a primitive says something Atman doesn't like, and so he shoots of his mouth, earning the scorn and ill-will of the lesser primitive.

It happens nearly all the time.

It's very unfortunate most primitives don't know what the magisterial one really is.

Of course, given their wretched, Hate-filled attitudes and beings, it's probably just deserts that the primitives are saddled with the magisterial one, but then on the other hand, one does have at least a shred of compassion for the primitives.  Not much, but at least a shred.

If the magisterial one were a tree, dogs would seek a cleaner place to do their evacuatory business.

Done.

When reviewing the slate for the "Steve," however, I gotta add the inspiration behind the award, my fellow Nebraskan, the big guy Omaha Steve.

I've seen a lot of things on Skins's island, but nothing that ever left me as opened-mouth incredulous as the way the big guy repeatedly ignored rock-solid campaign advice and counsel, and went his own bumbling way.

And of course, inevitably he bumbled, and got humbled.

I want to put him in the running for something, but can't decide on the category.  He's not the least bit entertaining; he's just human garbage, a waste of skin, blood and bones, a useless eater.  His warm heart was displayed in full measure with his post on Andrew Breitbart's children.  There's not another Primitive I can think of who is as truly evil as that one.  I have no idea how to nominate a Demon.

The Meta Forum truly deserves some recognition.  It never fails to provide entertainment.  The light shed on Primitive psyches is unparalleled.  Even their Lounge wars don't offer the insight Meta does.  $kammer outdid himself in the creation of it.  Making it 'safe' for registered members only was brilliant!  Even the Primitive Bully Pack posts there, hilariously and with regularity.   And where else could one observe the many psychoses of Gnads in such detail? 

Please give some thought on rewarding this truly deserving entity for the services it provides.

Ahh, in that case, I nominate the Leviathan for the Steven. Same situation really. He has ignored the advice of countless people who have shed so much weight here and other places to continue on a starchy diet that's likely causing him joint inflammation in his knees. He ignores franks advice to work so to improve his lot in life and shed even more pounds under the yoke of a good honest day's work. The Leviathan just can not see a moon even through a clear sky. I almost want to nominate him for the Willie as well since he took the 'great' name of the DU over to the diet forums and even brought his 'war with CC' over there. Now that's free advertisement right there. Good going Leviathan...for once you did NOT disappoint.

What a shitty year for DUmmies to rise to the top.

What does it say about a person who is a potential DOTY winner when the members of his own forum would agree with us?

The DUmmy collective (or is it collective DUmmies) think that OS is so DUmb that even they don't reply to his stupidity.

While his campaign was worthy reading, we put more effort into it than he did. His job transfer just hasn't panned out to what it could be.

Still, I guess it's between him and gNads.

Another [roblem is that there is 5K DUmbasses that I've never heard of.

For the "Stevie", it's only fair the recipient of the award the first year be the person it was named after, Omaha Steve.  It's a wonder he doesn't have Athlete's Foot on his tongue, from constantly having his foot in his mouth.  Honorable mention for the "Stevie" goes to Google Search, who put OS on the net with the search results for that fantastic website, www.electstevedawes.com

For the "Willie", Taverner, the only primitive that consumes more mind-altering substances, in copious quantities, than W R Pitt.

For DOTY, nads (of course), Warren Stupidity, DainBramaged, demtenjeep (just for sheer nastiness), and SystematicChaos, the two-ton tub-o-lard, who is as agile as a cathedral, and as charming as a 4-alarm case of diaper rash.

(dis)Honorable mention goes to Skinner, for providing us with the petri dish of liberalism known as DU.

I am however confused by this nomination.

There is no doubt the Taverner primitive is a first-class top-notch DUmmie.....on Skins's island.

The "Willie" award is given the primitive who's done things to spread and enhance the name and reputation of Skins's island beyond Skins's island itself.

Previous winners: TomInTib, BouncyBall, WilliamPitt, nadinbrzezinski.

But what has struck me the most over the years, has been the constant patting-himself-on-the-back for some slight kindness he reports that he does to someone else.  For example, recently he said he gave a couple bucks to a bum.  Said bum started kissing his hand and falling all over the place.  It was very embarrassing to read.

I am really surprised--in fact, shocked--that no one's thought to nominate the pie-and-jam primitive, the "grasswire" primitive, for one of the top twenty DUmmies.

Think of her valiant--but futile--defense of the big guy.

Think of her valiant--but futile--quest to find those who murdered the late red round one.

Think of her valiant--but futile--investigation into the background of George Zimmerman.

And her recipes and household hints and used-goods adventures.

Given that track record, I thought grasswire would've been among the first nominated.

But anyway, as she wasn't, franksolich claims the honor of nominating grasswire; not for any special award, but for Top DUmmie of 2012.  I'm sure I could write a Hell of an award for her, if she places.

Upon further contemplation of the nominated names thus far, I'm inclined to omit AdBot and Jack Rabbit from the ballot, as certainly those weren't serious nominations.

And also, for sure, the meta forum won't be on the ballot.

The meta forum is a place, not a primitive (or a group of primitives).

A place cannot be a Top DUmmie.

On the other hand, groups of primitives, such as "the bullies," can be.

I was totally serious when I nominated AdBot.  Not sure if it should be in the Top Ten, or in the "special" awards, but it should definitely be included.

My objection to AdBot is that we used to pay a great deal of attention to it, until my fellow alum Skins tweaked it, and it became less interesting.  I don't recall AdBot being mentioned more than two or three times here all this past year.

But, the ballot's not final.  I threw that out here, because I was curious what the motive might be, nothing more.

Really a broad-based list to choose from, though the quality of the posts weren't as entertaining for some reason as those in the past. Anyway, I'd like to nominate the following:

For the Steve award, being the inaugural one and all, Omaha Steve Dawes should get it. I've been a bit disappointed in some of his posts as of late ever since his unceremonious thumpings from both the city council and union thug races, but in fairness the award was developed over years. So this time around, just give it to him; since it's a DUmmy award we can use their logic of feelings.

Taverner gets the Willy award just because after reading him, I feel like I toked some wacky weed from the 70's. So I don't have to pay or risk arrest to get high.

For DOTY, I think I'll go with Nadin. Pure lunacy and entertainment all wrapped into a body which even Roseanne Barr envies. Every time I see her highlighted here I guffaw. There. I said "guffaw" in perhaps the only place I could use it without sounding like a pretentious ass.

Special recognition goes to BantheGOP. He seems to have been here since Reagan yet still has less than 1,000 posts. Not my choice for the top spot, though, as his threadstarters have usually been vacuous and even pretentious, but if he IS a mole, then it is safe to say he is the best in the business.

Finally, a shoutout to Stinky the Clown, his perennial presence a modicum of lunatic stability for all to aspire to. 

Recap:

Steve award: Omaha Steve
Willy award: Taverner

DUMMY OF THE YEAR: Nadin

Done.

When reviewing the slate for the "Steve," however, I gotta add the inspiration behind the award, my fellow Nebraskan, the big guy Omaha Steve.

I've seen a lot of things on Skins's island, but nothing that ever left me as opened-mouth incredulous as the way the big guy repeatedly ignored rock-solid campaign advice and counsel, and went his own bumbling way.

And of course, inevitably he bumbled, and got humbled.

He should be nominated for everything, and then, consistent with his entire life, he should be ignored and not get a single vote.

I'm not nominating yet, but I thought I'd provide some grist for the nomination mill. As co-host of the DUmmie FUnnies, I pick out threads that I think will provide the most laffs per inch, whether in the DUmmie comments themselves or in the comebacks I can make off of them. Often the identity of the particular poster is not so important to the success of the DUFU. But sometimes the OP makes such a strong contribution that I go ahead and include that DUmmie's name in the DUFU byline. Looking back over all the DUFUs I have done so far this year, I notice 28 times when I have included the OP's name in the byline. Here are the names of those DUmmies, with their DU thread titles, in chronological order:

DeathToTheOil: "To us non-Americans, Obama is Doing a Pretty Good Job!"

undergroundpanther: "Why I hate the rich..."

kpete: "Why Not Rob The Rich?"

Sarah Ibarruri: "Every day I marvel at how poor and middle class Republicans vote against their self-interests"

WilliamPitt: "It just occurred to me: Cindy Sheehan was the first #Occupier."

Redstate Bluegirl: "This is...FUN!"

backscatter712: "Beware of sleazy 'progressive' McActivism sweatshops that chew up young progressives..."

Logical: "Face it, Most of them HATE Obama being a smart, good looking, successful and articulate Black Man!"

sabrina 1: "Wisconsin Recalls Worked! Walker and the Koch Brothers Have Been Defanged!"

Cary: "'Conservatives' are traitors."

TheMastersNemesis: "I Will Not Aid A Republican"

TheMastersNemesis: "I Guess I Am A Communist But I Am Proud Of It"

Laura PourMeADrink: "Obama Team had better get on Ellen, Letterman, Leno and FAST"

Hugabear: "The GOP is one of the most dire threats this country has ever faced"

OneAngryDemocrat: "That is how, folks, you talk to a do-nothing Tea Party Congressman."

Yavin4: "Is It Time to Leave America?"

cali: "Romney stands a good chance of being elected President"

darkangel218: "Today i told my rw bf to f*** off"

Aerows: "Weird episode with, I can almost assure you, was a right winger"

Aviation Pro: "F*** Off...."

Fgiriun: "Seriously, what idiot in the administration thought it would be a good idea to"

PCIntern: "This f***ing election best better f***ing work out in our favor..."

jsmirman: "Please, for the Love of God and all us children - Please Mr. President, Shoot to Kill Monday Night"

WilliamPitt: "TAKE A PICTURE. WRITE IT DOWN. REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE WHEN YOU READ THIS."

dawg: "A serious and sympathetic post for any lurking conservatives."

nadinbrzezinski: "Yay!!!! I am now starless!!!!!"

boston bean: "Do not laugh, I beg of you do not laugh!"

nadinbrzezinski: "WORKERS TO STAGE WALK OUTS AT WALMART STORES ON BLACK FRIDAY"

Like I say, I'm not nominating yet, but I do notice three repeat posters in this list--WilliamPitt, TheMastersNemesis, and nadinbrzezinski--so it's a good bet that they will be included among my nominees.

I'm still having some problems with the "Willie" award, and am not sure many understand the criteria for it.

The two other special awards, and the top DUmmies, no problems.

But the "Willie" is the second-highest award given, after the Top DUmmie of the Year.

Quote
DonRedwood
EFerrari, poor stupid Beth
kpete, the rich bitch
stevenleser
Taverner

EFerrari, poor stupid Beth, because of the way she so energetically spread the name and reputation of Skins's island during the Scamdal, and the stevenleser primitive, who's represented Skins's island on television shows with talking faces, I can understand; they meet the criteria for the award.

But DonRedwood, the rich bitch the kpete primitive, and Taverner, my question remains: what, exactly, have they done to publicize Skins's island outside of Skins's island?

These three are all rock-solid candidates for Top DUmmie of 2012 (although DonRedwood hasn't been nominated for that yet), and I myself may even yet vote for all of them with the ten votes I'll have, but there just doesn't seem any way they qualify for the "Willie."

Illuminate me, please.

RB TexLa (15,837 posts)

What is the reason behind online social sites and people only wanting to hear everything is

a fantasyland?

I posted yesterday that I didn't have anything to be thankful for. A true statement.

I was showered with posts saying not to do things to "my day," and "only positive posts today." Some even told me I was too stupid to know if I have anything to be thankful for and they are so much smarter that they can better tell me what I am thankful for.

Are people just that selfish that they want to dictate what they see from everyone else?

Ah, yes, the RB TexLa primitive.  He used to be "RBollen" or something similar before the name changes of late 2008.

He doesn't like rural folk, among other attributes.

He's an iconoclast among the primitives, insofar as one's allowed to be an iconoclast on Skins's island, which is to say he adheres to the party line, but once in a while makes a micro-millimeter deviation, and the primitives pick it up really quickly.

Please join me in waving "BUS AHEAD" signs as I nominate the spewer of inane congresscritter comments:

ALLEN GRAYSON for the Rob Award.

Alas and alack, Mr. Grayson did not post enough this year to garner a spot on the ticket for DOTY, as every post was a figurative hand out for donations, But he did make us laugh when he tagged the LYNX Bus.

And, if permissible, I'd like to also nominate the lurvable bumper-cruncher for the Stevie Award as he certainly made an ass of himself with that fine display of driving skills.

My only regret was that a bidding war didn't break out between Grayson and the tear-duct gusshing perrenial candidate for a seat on the Gravy Train during the runup to their respective elections.

He tossed a few mini tacos, said what the rabble wanted to hear, and took their money. My Mole participated more in the DU culture than Grayson.

But DU always falls for a good scam.

The Baseball Bat Award. For the one most in need of a good...well you know. This would probably have way too many nominees. Most recently, its Arctic Dave for his recent avocation of disrespecting a military cemetery. His hate-filled rant likely had his name etched on baseball bats around the country.   :bird:

If only Arctic Dave had decent sporting equipment, he would have an outlet to spend his energy outside of DU. Someday some will find him and give him a much needed baseball bat. Learning to respect others needs to be driven in over and over. Sports can teach you that.

I'd nominate DUmmy cali. Anyone who's been wallduded has spread the fame of the DUmp.

For the same reason I'd nominate DUmmy Raven, wallduded from her cushy job up there in Rindge.

Also, the sobbing neckbeard, since running for public office with his participation at the DUmp being spread far and wide in Bellevue.

Well now, the big guy would be an excellent candidate for the Willie, given how his campaign for city council at the same time spread around the name and reputation of Skins's island on the internet, and out in the real world.

But I'm inclined to reject both the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive and the maternal ancestress of the Bostonian Drunkard for the Willie, because they didn't do anything to publicize Skins's island outside of Skins's island.

If this were 2011, and the Steve existed, both cali and Raven wouldn've made excellent candidates that prize, having shot themselves in the foot that year, all by their own selves.

However, it's now 2012, and while the Willie applies to "any time," the Steve applies to 2012 only.

So probably not cali and Raven, but you did nominate the big guy for the Willie, and that's on.

The defrocked warped primitive is the disgraced former registered nurse who lives in the New Mexico corner of the "four corners" where New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado meet.  About 61 years old, she's a native of Massachusetts.  She inherited her mother's gender, but her father's features and build.  She's the one with the face like Hindenberg's.

warpy is one of only four drek primitives, primitives with no redeeming social or economic or cultural value whatsoever, and whose Hate of s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o many things borders on the supernatural.

She lives only to Hate.

It seems to me that poor addled grasswipe Judy Smith, up there in Oak Grove, Oregon, has really pulled in her DUmbass horns lately.

I think she's aware of her standing as coach's favorite for DOTY, and is trying to avoid the limelite.

While I don't believe she comes close to nadin when it comes to DOTY chops, she's a solid candidate for runnerup, even if she contines to keep her head down.

Yep, that's probably exactly what's happening.

My attitude is, second place is better than no place.

I just checked, and the pie-and-jam primitive's never been even in the top twenty, nowhere.

I think she's long overdue for some recognition.  Second place is better than nothing, and one gets to second place by shooting for first place.

And here's a newcomer I'm nominating for Top DUmmies; the "Denninmi" primitive, the Dennis the Menace primitive.

He's been rather prominent recently in the mental health forum, but earlier in the year, he was equally prominent in the cooking and baking forum, and in his attempts to write a novel.

A great deal of amusement all year long, he gave.

What was funny on my end was that originally I'd thought him a few-years-younger and slightly less-addled grasswire primitive, because of his writing style.  It freaked me when he turned out a 47-year-old guy still living at home with his ancient mother, who bosses him around.

He's a good one.

I only wish he could express his daily insane anguish in a few hundred less words.

He treads an unusual knife edge between hilarity and boredom.

I gotta be a real asshole and nominate a poor crippled handicapped primitive, the Odin2005 primitive, for Top DUmmies of 2012.

The late Tangergine LaBamba three years ago told us all about the Odin primitive, but I choose to withhold her information for his award, if he's one of the top twenty.

The Odin primitive's the chunky lad of 28, 29, years, who has the mildest form of autism possible for which one can jump aboard the disability gravy train.  He's from Minnesota, right across the river from Fargo, North Dakota, and besides hanging around Skins's island, he's also been in occupational protests.

He hangs around bothering the employees of the local Goodwill thrift store, and apparently once boasted (I have no confirmation, though) of shoplifting from Wal-Mart.

The last I saw of the Odin primitive, which is fairly recent (like within the past two weeks), he was talking about attending college to get a degree in.....psychology.  Which I guess is sort of like franksolich attending college to learn to become a music critic, or Revolution to become an art critic.

However, the Odin primitive insists attending classes tires him out, wears him down, and so he's taking only one three-credit-hour course a semester.  I dunno what the credit-hour requirements for a bachelor's degree are now, but when I got mine, it was 128 hours.  At that rate, it's going to take the Odin primitive 42+ years to get that degree.

Lest anyone think franksolich is being a mean nasty repuke making fun of a "handicapped" primitive, it needs pointed out that franksolich's autism is worse than the Odin primitive's autism.  It's just that franksolich has always worked around his problem so it's hardly a problem, rather than milking the taxpayers.  So the lame Odin primitive can shove that up his rectal aperture and smoke it.

We probably saw the exact same campfire by the La Pasionaria primitive, but it's really odd that she hasn't been posting nearly as much as she used to.  Since George Bush won re-election back in November 2004, and she promised to leave the country if he did, I was sort of hoping she was packing.

But darkangel218 sounds like her identical twin at least.

Using my prerogative to determine the ballot, I took DonRedwood and Raven (the maternal ancestress of the Bostonian Drunkard) off the ballot for the "Willie," because neither meet the stated requirements for that award.

However, I'm putting them both in for the Top DUmmies of 2012.

The bitter old Vermontese cali primitive had also been nominated for the "Willie" and disqualified, but as she'd already been nominated for one of the slots as a Top DUmmie of 2012, no need to tamper with that.

The Military Morons. Quite a prevalent group at DU, and possibly growing. Those who believe the U.S. Military are a bunch of war mongering bullies who do nothing for them, have done nothing for them, and never will do anything for them.

"Military morons" is a group of primitives, so yeah, sure, it can go on the ballot.

Just as "the bullies" already are, and the BOG (the 0bamaites) have been in the past.

Forums (the meta forum, for example) and practices (the jury system, for example) of Skins's island are not a defineable group of primitives, however.

I still have a few more nominations to make, but this morning I want to campaign for a primitive on the ballot--as is perfectly permissible on both the nominating and voting threads.

While many here are familiar with the LynneSin primitive, probably too many don't think she's worthy of being a Top DUmmie.  Or perhaps it's just because franksolich knows her better than most here do.

The LynneSin primitive, a lounge lizard on Skins's island, is notorious for whining about people who look negatively upon plus-sized women.  It's true it's not nice to make fun of fat people, but primitives who politicize their fatness open themselves up wide open to critical observation and analysis.

It's the LynneSin primitive's own fault that decent and civilized people see, and remark upon, her fatness; she's the one who calls attention to it, and makes a political issue out of it.

If the LynneSin primitive were a decent and civilized person, nobody would notice she's fat; probably they'd think of "blonde" or "tall" or "Lynne" or "chatty" or "nice hairdo" or "good nose" long, long, long before they'd think of "fat," if they ever come around to thinking of "fat" at all.

Primitivity does that; it compels decent and civilized people to look at the undesirable aspects of a primitive.

But her whining's not why I nominated her for Top DUmmiehood.

I nominated the LynneSin primitive because shortly after the elections, she posted an "open letter" to Barack Milhous, asking that His High Mightiness at long last pay attention to the opinions and feelings of the primitives on Skins's island.

Yeah, sure, like that's going to happen.

Anyway, the "open letter" to The Supreme Being was couched in groveling subservient language and style suggestive of how a medieval serf might petition the king.  It was very telling, the way she wrote it. 

I thought it a textbook example of how the primitives look at Barack Milhous as their Lord and Savior.

Did The Magistrate not make the nomination list?

For the Willie:
Alan Grayson Granted, he usually only posts when he wants a handout but he's the essence of DUmmie.

For the Steve I'm torn between the Las Vegas Leviathan, stevenumbers and PCIntern.

For the Rob...poor stupid Beth, Doug's ex wife. Crazy bitch threw away a perfectly good husband to run a fundraiser for a guy she'd never met, who by every measure seemed healthy as a horse and was certainly in no rush to have surgery and whose partner had $50,000 he spent on remodeling the bathroom instead of paying for the scammer's surgery. After that Beth was never the same. Despite her post count, her popularity waned. She became a punchline whose every new post was loonier than the one before. Of course all of the above would also make her a prime candidate for the Steve but since I still laugh about some of this woman's stupidity, well I still go with the Rob.

Whoa, I thought he did, but I've gone through the list with a fine-toothed comb and listed everyone who's been properly nominated.  I haven't seen it.

By the way, just naming a primitive doesn't hack it.  One has to name the award for which the primitive's being nominated, too.  I can't read minds.

The Willie, the Steve, the Rob, or a top DUmmie (of which one gets to vote for ten, but can nominate as many as one wishes).

The same rule will apply for voting too; one will have to specify which award.

I dislike being anal about this, but it's caused confusion and problems in the past, and as this is franksolich's last year of doing the Top DUmmies, and as the rules are pretty simple and easy, and given the second-string slate of primitives we have this year, I'm going to have to write some silk purses out of sow's ears as it is.

I'm sorry, I thought I did but reading my first post I can see how it would be confusing as to what they were nominated for. Here's my DOTY nominations:

The Magistrate for being a vile piece of human waste
That fat ass in Nevada, the 400 lbs. one who's tried every diet on the planet for 5 minutes and never spent a day in his life not complaining. Livin' large with so much hate.
Middle Finger Mom just because
11Bravo cuz it's always fun to have a military expert though all have been a big disappointment since TiT
Sabrinawhatever she's a caricature of a real human being
Nads because she's just everywhere
Pam the Jeep because she's the resident hypochondriac
kpete because she a big ****ing bitch who tries to pretend she's one of the masses from atop her gated community
And of course Councilman wannabe loser Steve Dawes, he's just been so much fun this year

My second nomination for DOTY is the military hating, 99% wannabe, oilfield trash, all around idiot arctic dave.  How anyone can work in a petroleum profession, in a state where you get paid for just being a citizen, and whine about the lack of govt interference is a mystery that no civilized person could ever hope to solve.

Since the fine citizens of the Cave have nominated most of my selections for the special awards, I would like to add DUmbass lunatica for the Rob.  She is so far out of phase with reality, I'd be amazed if she cast a shadow in sunlight.  Anything she types is comedy gold.

Well, if you want him on the ballot, he goes on the ballot.

However, I have to warn you of something.

Any time decent and civilized people say something nice about a primitive, it's the primitive's death warrant on Skins's island.

So yeah, he can go on the ballot, but I hope you give this some thought before holding to his nomination or withdrawing it.

The choice is yours, I'm here to serve, but I thought that needed pointing out.

I can't see him winning, but he does deserve some kind of recognition.  Maybe it could be thought of as enough of an honor for him "just to be nominated" like at the academy awards for the movies?  As I said, he doesn't really fit in with the other nominees, but he posts at DU so he's still a DUmmy, right?  I always enjoy reading his responses to nadin and I consider him a prominent DUmmy, not a lumpenprimitive and thus deserving of something--what, I'm not sure.

I can't see him winning, but he does deserve some kind of recognition.  Maybe it could be thought of as enough of an honor for him "just to be nominated" like at the academy awards for the movies?  As I said, he doesn't really fit in with the other nominees, but he posts at DU so he's still a DUmmy, right?  I always enjoy reading his responses to nadin and I consider him a prominent DUmmy, not a lumpenprimitive and thus deserving of something--what, I'm not sure.

Okay, he's on the ballot.

I just wanted to be sure everyone understands possible ramifications for primitives.

By the way, "the bullies" is also on the ballot for the Top DUmmies.

I forget who nominated the bullies, and need clarification in case the bullies win a spot, and I have to write an award for them.

Are we talking about the oblate spheroid and her gang of thugs, or are we talking about who the oblate spheroid considers "bullies" on Skins's island?

I'm nominating the cbayer primitive for one of the spots as Top DUmmie of 2012.

She hasn't been really outrageous, and while she's been funny to read, she hasn't been funny in the same rib-tickling, rolling on the floor guffawing sense as Atman.

The cbayer primitive used to be called "the thread slayer" back on the old DU, where she was a moderator.

Always on the job, always quick to douse campfires before they got out of hand.

I've for a very long time thought that if franksolich knew the cbayer primitive in real life, just as with the sparkling old dude, other than her stupid politics, the cbayer primitive and franksolich would get along robustly well.

She was strongly criticized sometime this past year in the closed meta forum, and it was a wondrous thing to watch, cbayer alone against a whole lot of primitive malcontents.  The sheer force of numbers didn't intimidate her; she was rather spirited in her own defense, proving the old adage that right makes might.

However, she's a pretty typical primitive in her silly pretensions; the English husband, the esoteric cooking and baking, living on a small crowded squalid boat so as to save the planet.

Even though it's only Thursday morning, I'm going to wrap up my own nominations suggesting that the malarial primitive, the "malaise" primitive, would be a good fit in the top DUmmies of 2012.

Maybe not in the top ten, but at least in the top twenty somewhere.

The malarial primitive is a pompous conceited ass, although she has little about which to be vain.

She lives down in Jamaica, although she may at one time have lived temporarily in the United States.  I'm not sure if she's an American citizen, but she sure yaps and whines and complains about America and Americans as if she's "entitled" to.

The malarial primitive is of a racial group that's not to be criticized on Skins's island; but for some reason I get the impression she's got a tinge of yellow to her skin.  Perhaps what Democrats in the Old South used to call a "a yeller gal," a brash and sulky and not very bright one?

Moles have been nominated, and in two or three cases actually won a spot in the Top DUmmies of some particular year.

However, it's never a good idea to expose moles, as they're on our side.

Grasswipe is an addled old lady, bundled in multiple overcoats, mumbling to herself about pie shops, franksolich, and PayPal.

Nadin is an offensive, obnoxious, hilarious, raving lunatic.

To me, the choice is clear, but anyone who can get proud2BDUmb elected DOTY has a lot of clout.

I just took an informal poll; it's discouraging, as even the Las Vegas Leviathan seems to be ahead of the pie-and-jam primitive for inclusion among the Top DUmmies of 2012.

So much for franksolich's "clout."

DUmmy of the year.

10-Iverglas for getting ts'd- Once skimmer got corporate sponsors, he didn't need her money. After he TSed her, he realized he still needed the little people.

9-Cali for keeping her personal info private while still managing to be a condescending bitch. I like the old gals though.

8-Hoyt for getting herself banned from the gungeon. She posts negative gun stuff in GD but it gets moved to the gungeon, where she can't go.

7-Madfloridian for finally giving up on andrea and sneaking back to the DUmp, hoping no one had noticed that she had left.

6-Systematic Chaos- AKA Las Vegas Leviathan- AKA Kirk- Had a so-so year but still better than most of the dreks. Loved his advice on how to beg for a star.

5-W8liftinglady- My benevolent benefactor.

4-HockeyMom- for being one of the biggest liars at the DUmp. That takes some real effort. One day she's in FL with her Republican husband. The next day she in in NY in the middle of the hurricane with no power and back in FL the next day.
Gonna keep a close eye on her next year. She's good.

3-Alan Grayson- has a bigger dickhead ever been born? Would love to see him win something. Send it to his DC office.

2-Dr. nadin- She's so well know that Google was renamed in her honor.

1-Omaha Steve- AKA Neckbeard- His half-assed attempt at a political seat was the stuff legends are made of.

The “Willie”

Alan Grayson- Him using DU as a GOTV and begging for donations from DUmmies who don't have a collective 3.98.

The “Steve”

Gotta be Neckbeard- His campaign and our counter campaign was a beautiful thing to behold.

The "Rob."

Dr. Nadin- Her traveling all over SoCal in the name of first hand reporting. Almost getting killed in a fire was a bonus.

Major Hogwash, for blaming Rush for the Colorado movie theatre theater shooting.

Who do you suppose is going to win the Top Spot, the Number One DUmmie of 2012?

In about twelve hours from now, this leaves franksolich's hands and goes into the hands of Mr. Wiggum, who starts counting the votes over the next ten days.

Mr. Wiggum of course is of impeccable, undeniable character and integrity, but I'm contemplating sending him a crate of Florida oranges, or a jug of Haig & Haig whiskey, or twenty pounds of Omaha Steaks, to see if he'll count the votes the way I want it to turn out.

It's the Democrat way.

As much as I want to see someone else hit the Top spot, I think that we might have a consecutive-repeat winner. :banghead: :rant:

Yeah, it's stupid, how some primitives cling to the old DU, but I guess it shouldn't be surprising, given that a principal characteristic of primitivity is that of being fossilized, petrified, on the brain-cells.

They don't like change.  They can't handle it.  They want things to go on and on forever as they've always gone on.

Nominations for the Top DUmmies of 2012 are now locked.

This nominating thread will stay "stickied" along with the voting thread, for the next ten days, until voting is over, in case anyone needs more information on a primitive.

The voting thread will be launched tomorrow, Sunday, December 2, and voting will be allowed until about supper-time Wednesday, December 12.

Thank you to all who participated!
