DUmmies Discuss A Requiem For A Heavyweight
« on: May 14, 2015, 02:45:57 PM »
You may recall that a few months ago the Big Guy humbly suggested that the DUmp's "labor" group be named after himself.

Now he's persuaded another DUmmy to take up his cause.

poll for name of group

I didn't realize there are no hosts in this group. I asked Skinner about changing the name of the group to:

Omaha Steve's Labor Group.

He said, "ask the group  "

So, let's vote!

I will keep the poll open for 24 hours

 It's not to make this his "group."

"Omaha Steve's Labor" is a tribute to a working man who toiled for years supporting labor - regardless of views, recs, replies. 

We have a chance to recognize Steve and the example he has set. We have a chance to do something he will remember and treasure, even if only for a short time. 

We have a chance to tell Steve, "We will remember."

The Big Guy's approach to labor has always been to avoid it.

Hurry up and vote! The Big Guy's only got thirteen to twenty years left.

And I would like to suggest that General Discussion be renamed "nadin's General Discussion forum"

3. Uhhhhh.Eerrrrrrhhhhh. No.

As much as I appreciate Omaha Steve, (and believe me, I do) since when does DU "personalize" groups and forums this way?

Do they have a group for vomit-stained drunks who try to give candy to 12 year old girls, and scream obscenities into the air? If they do, it is crying out to be named after William Rivers Pitt.

I was looking at the group and OS posts 95%+ of the threads there. It is a long list of threads with 0-1 replies. When OS stops posting there will be nothing in there anymore.

The subject matter expert with the best resume for naming DUmmies and DUmmie groups our own coach franksolich should give this a whack.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

The Big Guy is way too dumb to run a sock puppet.

And that's even before brain rot set in.

Yes, but it seems like something Steve would try since he wants that forum in his honor 😀.

Don't use the words : DUmmies, Franksolich and whack, in the same sentence.  You start making them fear for their lives.

I posited that idea in another thread, I think.  He's setting it up so he can start a gofundme account in her name after he "dies' of brain rot.
