announcement from franksolich
« on: July 23, 2011, 07:26:09 PM »
The other day, one of our esteemed colleagues, Ballygrl, suggested that there be some sort of contest for a "best thread title" here in the DUmpster, as she finds some of our headlines absolutely hilarious.

I thought, yeah, sure, I'd look into it, although I'm not really enthusiastic about adding to the "top primitives" festival that comes every December, and I'm sure Mr. Wiggum thinks the same.  As it is, there's an awful lot of keeping track and counting involved without adding any more.

But I thought I'd at least check to see what it might involve.

I'm not sure most are aware of how much material is here in the DUmpster.

Trust me, it's lots.

But I diligently and pains-takingly checked it out anyway, to see if it might be feasible.

I selected a primitive whose appearance here is pretty "average"--less than, for example, the sparkling husband dude or Doug's stupid ex-wife, but more than, for example, the unappellated eohippus or the formica primitive.

I wanted to see how many headlines an "average" primitive makes in the DUmpster.

So I did that.

Uh, no way.

Oh jeez frank, I didn't think there would be so many titles :lmao:, that's OK. I just :lmao: hysterically at some of the titles and was wondering if they should be recognized, but like you said, there's too many to choose from LOL.

I figured you'd be a good sport about it, madam, once you saw an example of what it involves.

Man, there's just s-o-o-o-o-o-o much stuff here in the DUmpster.

If I were a primitive, I'd stay here all day long, reading about myself.

Except for the unterprimitiven who troll the depths, looking for any mention of their callsign here; anything that makes them more significant than the rest of the nameless, faceless lynch mob they coagulate with.

As you know, sir, rarely do I do anything for just one reason; in this case there were two.

The first was of course to get a random sample to see if Ballygrl's idea was feasible (which, alas, it's really not).

The second was to crank up the ParGen, the paranoia generator.

Revealing the list of threads, I'll bet Oscar Wilde, the large-proboscised primitive, is now more paranoid than ever, seeing how much the DUmpster has on him, a mere "average" primitive.

Hmmm.

I just did a quick spot-check.

It appears the primitive with the most coverage here has been not Doug's stupid ex-wife or the sparkling husband dude after all, but.....Ms. Ed, the unappellated eohippus, the "Horse with no Name" primitive.

I'd thought she was "below average" in number of appearances here.

The High Priestess of Moloch to the primitives is not necessarily the primitive with the most exposure, but she's the one with the most, that I've found.

The sparkling husband dude and Doug's stupid ex-wife are just going to have to try harder, I guess.

- - - - -

edited to add: Pedro Picasso, the "Atman" primitive, has gotten about two and a half times the coverage Oscar Wilde has.

I try and infuse the topic of the DUmmy title into my title so that lurking DUmmies can easily spot their masterpiece.

By choosing a title here that is easily identifiable with the DUmmy campfire, it helps cut down on the redundancies.

That's my usual technique - I try to keep the original title, though I will occasionally stray from that if the thread really deserves it.

There's lot of people here who are creative with headlines, but Freeper usually takes the cake, and Tucker's not too far behind.

Although the best headline I've ever seen here--and alas I've forgotten what it was--was by GOBUCKS; it wasn't colorful or anything, but it had that one element necessary for making a good headline.

The primitives were discussing some rather dull subject--wind energy, solar energy, or something like that--and usually that's not anything that appeals to the audience here.

However, GOBUCKS gave the headline the touch it needed, to attract an audience.

He mentioned "primitives xxxxxxxxxx, Las Vegas Leviathan weighs in."

Now, normally very few people would be interested in the topic the primitives were discussing, but--

--everybody's interested in what a quarter-ton "expert" has to say about the matter, and so GOBUCKS' thread did in fact attract a wide audience.
