When surveying the nominations, I noticed an omission.

As with Doug's stupid ex-wife, it's someone for whom franksolich has invariably voted ever since the first compilation of top primitives in 2005.  Every single time.

This nomination is NOT to be taken seriously, as it's only a token gesture.

Much like that lone Minnesota delegate to the 2000 Republican National Convention who cast his vote for ex-governor Harold Stassen.....who had first been nominated 60 years before, back in 1940, and nominated by at least someone at every Republican presidential convention since then.

franksolich fully plans on wasting one of his ten precious votes for this darkest of dark horses.

But don't anybody else waste their vote; this primitive has done nothing outstanding during 2010, other than just being his usual stupid boorish effete self.  I'm nominating him simply because franksolich likes continuity.

The Atman primitive, better known as Pedro Picasso.

Bobolink for the DOY, ANNIE and lastly, not only is she well qualified, but I'm sure she has had of share of the WILLIE of countless homeless men.

Oh.

No one had nominated the homeless bobbling primitive until you did so, sir.

She'd been long ago nominated for the two special awards, the Willie and the Annie, but not for top primitive.

Nomination duly noted, and it will appear on the ballot.....in all three slots.

I did nominate Bobo for the top spot in the regular DOY nominations(post 82).

I now take this opportunity to politic on her behalf to sweep the awards as she is most deserving. The finial hours are the most crucial as they may sway the judges with the freshest examples of feats of primitive achievements.

Edit to add: Thanks for the considerations on Bobo's behalf.

You did indeed, sir; my error.

I was using three windows when writing up that list of current nominations; I surely hope I didn't miss anybody else.

[Allentownjake]

I'd like to update my nomination for Nance for the Annie.

[franksolich]

I'd like to update my nomination for Nance for the Annie.

Duly noted; Nance Greggs for the Annie, too.

There had been a prior nomination of her (not yours; long before yours) for top primitive, and so Nance Greggs gets two spots on the ballot.

[Ballygrl]

I nominate Frenchie Cat, mostly because amongst the BOG she stands out as the President's most angry defender and because of her beat poetry sessions where she goes into a transcendental poetry rant that I hear bongos and William Shatner reciting when I read it.

Is she still there? for some reason until the other day I hadn't seen a post of hers at all, is she just in the BOG forum?

[Ballygrl]

By the way, folks, we've never been able to determine if it was the TwixVoy primitive who got that tourist visa for Portugal, and was planning to emigrate there, and that nomination was contingent upon whether or not this was in fact the TwixVoy primitive.

So unless someone can determine that yes, it was the TwixVoy primitive, or come up with other reasons to nominate the TwixVoy primitive, we'll have to exclude the TwixVoy primitive from the ballot.

Here frank, it's twixvoy:

ETA: Just saw that Chris gave you a link.

She's still posting... check out the Barack Obama lawnmower thread from last night.

Allentown Jake said you were looking for nominees.   I'd nominate myself except they TS'd me awhile ago.  Hate me if you must, but I highly recommend the BOG as Top DUmmy.

Oh but the BOG's going to end up in the top ten, somewhere.  I'm pretty sure of that.

[Chris_]

So you're a 99-percenter?

The problem is that once you leave the island (forced or otherwise) and venture into the world of the rational and sane you pretty much disqualify yourself.

Now we may very well disagree on every possible political issue there is but unfortunately you can`t be DUmmy of the year.

Sorry.

[LilyB]

Top 10's not enough, Frank.  

They are responsible for an entire exodus from the DUmp this year.  And while the collective IQ at DU was never high, it really took a dive in recent months as the BOG hounded anyone with a brain cell that wasn't compromised by weed or Kool Aid.  Those of us who were hanging on to the Democratic party by a thread--and don't ask why, we all have jobs, we get busy, we don't have time to change affiliations for Christ's sake--were pushed hard enough to make that thread snap.  At this point, I'm writing in Somali names for every office I can and am calling myself the Pirate Party. Let the freaking gov'mnt figure out how to handle it.

Crap!  All that lovely experience wasted.  What the hell am I supposed to do now?

I`m afraid I don`t have an answer to that but regardless welcome to CC.
We are quite pleasant (mostly) to all who stop by.
Needless to say if you stay and take positions on issues you will be expected to answer and defend them.
If you spout talking points and don`t engage in discussions you won`t be treated so pleasantly.

If you know Jake as you say he can confirm that to be the case.

Hopefully you will find your time here enjoyable and enlightening.  

[franksolich]

Well now, madam, there's two singular, distinctive, awards too, the Willie and the Annie.

The Willie's given to the primitive (or group of primitives) who's done a great deal to enhance the good name and credibility of Skins's island (and not necessarily only in 2010; past years count too).

The Annie's given to the primitive (or group of primitives) who's most likely to succeed on Skins's island, but fail in the real world; again, years before this current one count too.

If you think USA4ME's nomination of the B0G as top primitive of 2010 is too modest, and if you think the B0G deserves one of the above two awards, by all means feel free to nominate them.

Well, thanks for the beer.  

I don't spout talking points and wouldn't defend Oblahblah if you held a gun to my head.  The guy was a fraud from day one.  I hold certain positions and will defend those that need defending, if it comes to that.  Mostly, I'm just going to hang it with this beer.

Can I nominate them for EVERY award?  That way they'll get something.  Their egos are fragile, they need a statuette.

That is fine and there are non political forums here to look at as well so feel free to look around and introduce yourself.

[franksolich]

Can I nominate them for EVERY award?  That way they'll get something.  Their egos are fragile, they need a statuette.

The rules are:

only one Willie is awarded
only one Annie is awarded

one gets to vote for ten primitives for top primitive, but twenty primitives are awarded.

I believe bobbolink has already got nominated in all three categories, and so yes, one can nominate primitives in more than just one category.

We don't have that kind of budget.  I have a bag of trash and some empty beer cans on my desk they can have.

Well, they are a shoe-in for the Annie, but I think it's time to light a fire under them and see if we can't get them motivated.  Individually they wouldn't make it, but together, yes they can! :D
 


Individually, Frenchie Cat's poetry qualifies her for a psychotic award, but you don't have that.
