just a reminder about the Top DUmmies of 2017

[franksolich]

The contest starts in about a month, Thanksgiving Eve, circa suppertime.

There's going to be a whole lot of changes, necessitated by circumstances, but I haven't cleared them all with Mr. Wiggum yet.  For me, it's imperative that this year's Top DUmmies contest have the most thorough-going, the most witty, the best written awards possible, topping anything and everything I've written before, that they be truly unforgettable.

But for now, start getting your ducks--er, your primitives--in a row.

Turkey for dinner, DUmmies for supper! (DUmsticks?)

I'm not sure yet how it's going to be "framed"--and in any case I need to discuss it with Mr. Wiggum--but the special award this year will be for the primitive most traumatized, most upset, most deranged, most gone over the edge, about the election and inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States.

The "schadenboner," or whatever one calls it, award.

So start thinking about possible nominees, in addition to the usual Top DUmmies.

Frank, in the next few weeks please touch base with me privately.  I'll tabulate the votes as always.  But will need someone else to compile the summaries.  My own life is stretched too thin to have time for that this year.

But always happy to assist with most everything else.

Every year it gets tougher to decide who is DUmmy Of The Year.
