I can hardly wait.
:hyper:Neither can the DUmmies. They'll be here every day. Too bad they are afraid to even mention it at the DUmp. Such is life without free speech.
I can hardly wait.

Me too. It is so much better when you have some skin in the game.Are you hoping to win? :-)
Me too. It is so much better when you have some skin in the game.
Dang I need to check in daily. I am missing everything.
I don’t have the winners yet--Mr. Wiggum has until Saturday, December 21, to get them to me, after which I’ll start writing them--but it’s time to stash the nominating and campaign threads for the Top DUmmies up into the DUmping Ground, so as to free up more space here in the DUmpster.
In case of ties--oh God, I hope not--each tying primitive will receive his own award.
The schedule for awardment of the Top DUmmies of 2013 awards:
December 24: #20-11 DUmmies (one award)
December 24: the Steven Dawes award
December 25: the William Rivers Pitt award
December 25: the Robyn McGrath award
December 26: the Nadin Abbott award
December 26: #10 Top DUmmie
December 27: #09 Top DUmmie
December 27: #08 Top DUmmie
December 28: #07 Top DUmmie
December 28: #06 Top DUmmie
December 29: #05 Top DUmmie
December 29: #04 Top DUmmie
December 30: #03 Top DUmmie
December 30: #02 Top Dummie
And then finally, the big day:
December 31: the CCA
December 31: Top DUmmie of 2013
I know you are deaf but can we write a unique fanfare for the DUmmie Awards (do we have a name -- how about the Frankies?)?
Can you perceive rhythms? Because I am thinking of something bass based...
In the meantime how does everyone feel about the Frankies to replace the clunky "Dummie Of The Year?"
How about we replace it with "you can kiss my ass"?
Does that work for you?
I’ve got a question for you frank. Maybe you’ve said before and I’ve missed. If so, please say again.
You’ve always done a good job writing up the award winners. Considering the number of winners you really don’t have a lot of time to do the writing. Do you have some notes or outlines prepared before you get the vote results or do you just essentially do everything from scratch when you get the votes?
Are you hoping to win? :-)That would be the upset of the season!
I missed the voting, but I got my favourites for a couple of them...
Wonder if Doug Bulna will win anything.
Right now, if I were betting the farm, I'd bet only that the brain-damaged primitive probably won one of the top DUmmie spots and a special award.
I'm reasonably sure about some others, but I wouldn't put money on them; only on walrus-face.
"The Steve" and "The nadin" should be awarded by acclamation.
I don't have any results yet, but as I'm busy for a couple more days, I don't really want them either.
But it's fun to speculate.
My predictions:
#01 Top DUmmie: the cousin nadin
#02 Top DUmmie: walrus-face
the Steve: walrus-face
the Nadin: the cousin nadin
As for the other top DUmmies, the Willie, and the Rob, I don't even want to guess.
This could be a close one.
Wonder if Doug Bulna will win anything.He won the internets for 2013.
He won the internets for 2013.
He won the most amusing person for personnel departments to research in 2013.
He won the Gay-Life Magazine's "hide-the-remote" fantasy of 2013.
Right there with you on those predictions.
As I've said before, the primitives have no concept of "damage control."
The primitives have no concept of "honor." Honor would negate the need for damage control.
I must have missed it...what does CCA stand for?
Coach's Choice Award, it's for a dummy who didn't make the cut that Frank wanted to be on the list.

This could turn into the most sought after award in years to come.
This could turn into the most sought after award in years to come.
In fact, the CCA winner could be considered to be the DUmp's Top Loser.
A DUmmy can't seek the award.
It's a Catch-22.
If a DUmmy really tries to win the award, he'll finish in the top twenty, which makes him ineligible.
If a DUmmy tries to avoid the award, he'll become so obscure he'll never be chosen.
Anyone who is both eligible and chosen for the CCA is a real loser among losers.
In fact, the CCA winner could be considered to be the DUmp's Top Loser.
Is there a reason that the top DUmmie could not also capture the CCA?
As Carl originally explained his idea--and such a good idea it is--the CCA would go specifically to a primitive not acknowledged in the Top DUmmies, but deemed worthy of notoriety anyway.
And so the CCA won't go to any primitive who ranked in the top ten, or who won one of the special awards; it'll be an entirely new primitive altogether.
So, there is no way this will ever become the platinum ring?
Message to :jugs: :yahoo: and Skippy:
I've been reading both of you most of the day, and you don't have to keep trying so hard.
I'm sure both of you won at least one major award in the Top DUmmies contest, so you may take a breather on being stupid.
That's their natural state of being, especially jugs. She's stuck on stupid.
God, you are such a kiss-up.
There are those of us who can completely agree with Coach without appearing to suck up.
We "agree casual" so no one can tell..
;) :)
*****ANNOUNCEMENT FROM franksolich*****
Because of the, uh, weird twists and turns the voting took, the previously announced schedule is longer relevant.
I'll post a new schedule later, after I figure out the most attractive product placement, like setting up a display in a grocery store.
