Are they measuring up?
« on: November 14, 2024, 01:43:05 AM »
For the last couple years, I've noted that the primitives just don't seem to be of the same quality as those who came before them.

Compared to hopalong bob, the sparking dude whos trophy wife lets him watch when shes with her boyfriend, gNads, Doug Bulna, and so many others, they just seem lesser, and more generic.

Is it just me?

Bobo the Hobo, Redstone, Tom in Tib, Pam ...

Yeah, it's a lower class of primitive.  They're getting more entertaining by the day though.  This election has really sent most of them over the edge and it's fun to watch.  They really have bought into the whole "This is the end of America!" narrative.  Just like every other post used to be "Trump is DONE!!"  "Finally, he's gone too far and this will END him!!"

Well now, not only did any of that "end him" Trump is back in office and they are not coping.

We keep harkening back to the heady days when Bobo the Hobo would get them all spun up, because no matter what their particular brand of "victim" intersectionality was, she would always trump themno pun intended with living out of the 1983 Buick Skylark.

Never forget though that ultimately, Bobolink was trolling the ever-loving shit out of them. (A college kid who created the Bobolink sock puppet and accompanying legend wholecloth, IIRC...)

I agree the individual personalities have dropped off in a big way. However collectively, without emergent leaders among them, they seem to feed off each other and drive the conversation even deeper into crazy.

With Trump winning a second term, their posts range anywhere from their standard insane viewpoints to over-the-top completely unhinged, and lately it’s leaned strongly towards the latter. In the 5 stages of grief, they are stuck with a combination of denial and anger, but they never move on to bargaining, they just stay stuck in anger. If anything, depression creeps up to where they are, but it’s combined with a lot of anger. Even when they appear as though they’re laughing, it’s based in some deep seated anger. And when they’re angry, they invent some of the most lunatic nonsense you can find anywhere.

Is that true?  I never knew that.  All I remember was Bobo disappearing and never seen again.

      I miss the grifters who used politics as a backstory to their pathetic lives. Who was that loser who moved to Tucson and bragged about her place at the "Sally?" Likewise TominTib, who thought he was the guy in the Camel ads from a 1977 issue of Penthouse, and the younger set, like TwixVoy and Loconuts and Coolest Ranger, who last we heard was taking meetings with Hollywood executives to film The Adventures of Doodoo Man or whatever he was "writing." Not to mention Doug Bulna, and the guy I personally tormented, Rolex Randy Shaw.

     And that was just a few years ago! I really miss the ancient DUmmies, like Philosoraptor and that asshole Octafish, who posted reams of bullshit about the JFK assassination but who never came out and accused anyone of actually doing it. Someone told me he changed his screen name in recent years?

     And who was that woman who swore that there were thousands dead, hanging from trees, when Texas got hit by a hurricane?

     I hasten to add Pam Dawson, who thought her vehicle was so exclusive that she created a screen name for it. There has to be a name for a condition wherein someone looks like they have Down's Syndrome but doesn't actually have it. Dawsonitis. Demtenjeepemia. Something.

     I'd add CalPeg but she's still around...just not waxing poetic about her Amish husband's aching seed.


     Yeah, they used to be more fun.

Remember the Witchy saga?  I think that was her name. Some big IRL row with another DUmmie that involved a dog or dogs …

The dude in Florida that has the door buzzard.

Wall dude …

I guess I missed the good old days. I reg'ed here in 2009 and didn't post much until 2012 or so.

I have missed them myself but then again, I can live without hearing their ideas floating out on the internet too.

In my opinion, based on the short time that I've been back, they don't measure up to those in the past. I mean, they're just a stupid. Maybe even more stupid. They're just not as entertaining. Of course, I guess it's hard to out DU classic members like Nadin, TominTib, and Pam. Those were the good old days.

And BannedFromDU, why did you have to mention CalPeg's poetry and bring the "blink, blink, blink" back into my head?

Imagination, particularly among certain ideological groups is being damaged by the American education system, both at the public school level and collegiate level as well as those groups not venturing outside of their bubbles and echo chambers. 

Unhealthy amounts of recreational and poorly prescribed medical drugs don't help either, contrary to some beliefs.

I'd almost forgot the liar and bullshitter Tom in Tib. What a maroon and the DUmbasses that believed his lies.

Well, might I point you to the "luminaries" of the past from the DUmp. Check them out here in list form via this thread listing the Top DUmmies each year from 2005 to 2016.
