From Frank's list on Sunday, I see that my list has been covered, one and all. I'll just jot down here my Annie nominations. I am completely torn between two of the biggest losers. It will all shake out in the final votes.
Taverner and Hawkeye-X.
I haven't ever paid much attention to the Taverner primitive; nothing personal, but we just don't "click."
The cross-eyed Iowa primitive, the "HawkeyeX" primitive however is a different case.
I've been acquainted with the cross-eyed Iowa primitive ever since early 2005, when he was still living in Iowa--I dunno why he moved to Denver; maybe his wife got a job there or something--and always making threats about "taking down" websites of decent and civilized people.
Well, that never happened; apparently the cross-eyed Iowa primitive's not as good with computers as he alleges himself to be.
As time went on, I noticed other things about the cross-eyed Iowa primitive, who's a rather hefty guy.
He used to make a big deal about being an ex-con, trying to convey the impression that he's a bad one, not to be messed with. One conjures up images of a muscular multi-tattooed snarly guy who's cooped up for violent crime such as murder or something.....but as it turns out, the crossed-eyed Iowa primitive did a little bit of time for bad checks, or something like that.
The cross-eyed Iowa primitive moans about degenerative hearing loss--forgetting that at past 40 years of age, hearing naturally deteriorates--and one gets the impression that he did some really stupid things with his hearing, like using illicit drugs and having the stereo head-sets cranked up way too much.
It's based upon this hard-of-hearing thing that the cross-eyed Iowa primitive's on the disability gravy train.
Some months ago, the cross-eyed Iowa primitive whined about recipients of social security disability not getting a raise in their free checks this year; it never occurred to him that he could make up the shortfall by going out and getting a job.
The cross-eyed Iowa primitive occasionally touts pyramid schemes on Skins's island.
The cross-eyed Iowa primitive self-admittedly does work on the side, computer maintenance and repair, apparently, the sort of work ideal for someone wanting paid in cash, and off the books.
The cross-eyed Iowa primitive's like so many other hustling primitives; he put a lot of time and energy in trying to make a "fast buck" the dishonest way, when really it's easy just to have an honest job; less trouble, less stress, less anxiety, working on a factory assembly-line or something.
Despite his poverty, the cross-eyed Iowa primitive's always the first to jump in with a good-sized check--or so he says--to aid primitive candidates and primitive causes.
However, that's forgiveable.
What's not forgiveable, what blackens the cross-eyed Iowa primitive in franksolich's eyes, is his lack of manners.
The cross-eyed Iowa primitive hosted the primitive "get-together" at the Democrat National Convention in Denver in 2008, but pointedly did
NOT invite the homeless bobbling primitive, who also lives in Denver. And the homeless bobbling primitive could've used a free restaurant meal and some brew.
And then the cross-eyed Iowa primitive was in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving 2009--trying again to make the "fast buck"--on a holiday paid for by his in-laws.
If anyone's forgotten, Thanksgiving 2009 was when the gigantic primitive, who lives in Las Vegas, was dealing with a clogged toilet overflowing, water running up to his ankles and the turkey in the oven burning; a really miserable Thanksgiving.
The gigantic primitive probably would've been greatly heartened, consoled, morale-boosted, by a visit from his fellow primitive, but no, the cross-eyed Iowa primitive didn't care about the gigantic primitive; he was too busy trying to make a "big killing" off the casino tables, financed by the in-laws.
With manners like that, the cross-eyed Iowa primitive makes a caveman look like Emily Post or Amy Vanderbilt.
