The Broken Elbow

Trying to pick the best whiner in DUmmieland is like trying to find the best grain of sand in the sandhills of Nebraska. They all qualify! And there are so many of them! In DUmmieland, it's always the Daze of Whine and Poses. But to pick a whiner winner, I will go with . . .

Cyrano

His posts run together in my mind, but I do have an impression of him being especially whiny.

Oscar Wilde is probably going to get my vote for this award (note to Mr. Wiggum: this is not my vote yet, so don't count it), as his whining has gotten on my nerves for years.

Whine, whine, whine.

Of course, I can't hear, but when reading the large-proboscised primitive, I get the impression of a "noise" he makes, a sort of jagged, serrated humming drone that goes on and on and on.....

The Cyrano primitive by the way was re-baptized "Oscar Wilde" some years ago--I consider it the second-best re-christening I've ever done, next only to "Fat Che"--because of an experience he had, shutting the cat up in his bedroom without access to sanitary facilities, and then Cyrano got all upset and bent out of shape when the poor cat pissed on him in bed.

The way Cyrano told that story, one immediately had a "picture" of high-collared Oscar Wilde in his bedroom with the four-postered canopied bed, thick quilts, ruffled curtains, dainty things on top of the bureau, jumping up-and-down in vexation, his curls and fancy-lace cuffs flapping in his insulted indignation.

The Golden Bouncy, aka the Golden Bong

Perhaps this year's most controversial of the minor awards.

Sarah Ibuprofen's tale of the rethug boyfriend: Highly entertaining, but perhaps true.

Dreamer Tatum's send-up of the typical grocery-store bouncy: Highly entertaining, but meant as a satire.

Worth a mention is Nadin's bouncy of the submarine commander at the triage milk store, etc. That gets lost in the shuffle of all her other accomplishments.

Well, decision time. While it was meant as satire, some bought it, and it was so highly entertaining, it deserves an award. So I'm going to go with . . .

Dreamer Tatum

I'm still tug-of-warring with Tucker about the Willie.

Redstone got another vote. My vote must have some merit.

Quote from: USA4ME on Today at 01:38:37 pm

Quote

Willie - Redstone (I wrote a poem to him on his on-line memorial book explaining how stupid he, and liberals in general, are and he gave me the best response he could by keeping his idiot mouth shut. For that, he gets a vote.)

I'd like to change my Golden Bong vote to Wiley50. I nominated him and forgot about him. He penned this tale in Jan. There were 11 months worth of bouncies to overshadow his tale, but it's just too worthy to overlook.

Note this is a bouncy.

The freeloading bum the wily primitive's always been a favorite of mine, but as you noted, sir, alas he sees to have gone away from Skins's island the past ten months. In past years, he'd been a superlative story-teller.

The freeloading bum the wily primitive was the one building an ark up in the mountains and forests of Tennessee, hoping eventually to float it out to sea, where he'd stay beyond U.S. territorial waters (but still collecting that good old U.S. welfare check).

He spent years building that ark, and then had to abandon it, moving out to California early in 2011.

The wily primitive had done mostly manual labor for under-the-table cash, as he was wanted by authorities all over the country, for children he'd fathered (by various women) during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. He was always hiding from regular employment where he'd get caught, and presented a rather big bill for child support.

When he announced he was moving out to California, he expressed the hope that one of his long-ago abandoned sons would take him in.

One wonders if anything happened with that.

Come back, wily! Tell us the rest of the story.

Of course.

You're using the logical, rational argument here, sir, on behalf of the late Chief S itting Bull, and it's a very good argument. The bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive was the Greatest Primitive Ever, and surely deserves the Willie, for having so well demonstrated those traits that make the primitives so interesting, so amusing.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again--when a Mount Rushmore of the Greatest Primitives is ever sculpted out of the side of a mountain in South Dakota, the mug of Redstone would be where George Washington is, on the real Mount Rushmore.

On my side, I'm using the emotional, the humanitarian, argument on behalf of Doug's stupid ex-wife.

I've no doubt even you, sir, would agree that EFerrari is worthy of the Willie (but not this year).

My concern is that, given her constant cerebral degeneration into senility, this might be the last year she's a sentient being, and so we should hurry up and give her the award before she's too far gone to appreciate it.

Too late.

Kind of a moot point now.

Given that, it matters not if she gets it this year or the next. Kinda like a Dog waiting for his master. They have no concept of time.

I seemed to have left a few off for the voting. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of all the worthless assmeat that lives at the DUmp. So the final 5 picks for Top Dummies are

Underground Panther- She probably doesn't need it or meet the rules.

Bobo Gone but not forgotten

Sub Atomic

Kpete

Skimmer

Charles Henrickson · « **Reply #82 on:** December 05, 2011, 06:53:45 PM »

And now the Big One . . .

The Top Ten DUmmies of 2011

I know the tally will be by total votes, not by ranking, but I will rank my choices nonetheless, in ascending order:

(BTW, *last year* my top choice for #1 DOTY was bobbolink, aka Bobo the Hobo, aka The Woman Who Tombstoned Wee Willie Pitt, aka the back-of-the-Buick dweller who somehow was on the internets day and night and who turned every thread into a whine about people--including the DUmmies themselves--not caring for the homeless. But *this year* Bobo has been relatively strangely silent, so she has dropped out of my top ten.)

10. Raven: Mother of Pitt, which should be enough for one life.
9. EFerrari: The boil on the rump of the DUmp. A constant presence, going back to the days of AndyScam.
8. Skinner, EarlG, Elad: The Big Three. The Troika. The Triumvirate. The Brain Trust. $kimmer, DUAC Earl, and Elad (although Elad doesn't contribute much to the mix). There is no DUmmieland without them. I've got them down jointly for the Willie.
7. WilliamPitt: The 40-Year-Old Insurgent, who stresses the importance of the OWS protests but who can't pull himself out of his Barcalounger long enough to actually *go* to one of the things. All through the years, Mr. Pitt has never failed to give us material. He is the all-time all-star of the DUmmie FUnnies.
6. Mineral Man: Former freeper, and I think somewhere on Nads's iggy list.
5. kentuck: Just because. He's always posting some DUmb thread about how the Democrats aren't progressive enough, I think.
4. Cyrano: My choice for the Broken Elbow.
3. SidDithers: Nadin's witty archnemesis and #1 on her iggy list, no doubt.
2. Sarah Iburruri: DUmmieland's sweetheart. Advice for the lovelorn needed, especially when you've got a rethug boyfriend who treats you nice. "I'm so conflicted!"
1. nadinbrzezinski: What more can be said? Know-it-all Nadin will find a way to say it. I've posted my reasons at length upthread. I think Nads as DOTY this year is a no-brainer. And I don't think she has *campaigned* for the DOTY. I think it's just Nadin being Nadin.

As GOBUCKS pointed out, though, it's really odd that, as nominations wound down, and voting geared up, some particular primitives of prominence were absent this weekend from Skins's island. One wonders what's up with that.

Nutcase nadin is still in hiding! It's an honest-to-goodness attempt to tank the election. She's embarrassed to be singled out as the looniest of the loons, the craziest of the crazy. Sorry, nadin, as ye sow, so shall ye reap.

Of course, it could be an act of serenity, like when W went to bed at his normal early hour on election night, but I doubt it.

There is no serenity in nadin's world of evil conspiracy and imminent apocalypse.

She's in hiding, in an attempt to avoid the humiliation of being designated Top DUmmy .

For the Willie, I vote for Skimmer, Elad and the other guy whose name I forgot

Without them we wouldn't be having these elections.

Newbie award vote to iverglas

Broken Elbow to Omaha Steve, I know he won't win his real election so hope he's luckier here at CC

Golden Bouncy vote to Dreamer Tatum; he was hilarious and so outclassed Sarah Imaboobie

Although, I do cast a vote for her in my Top Ten DUmmies

You know, over the past twelve months (since this time last December), PJ-Comix and I have posted 177 editions of the DUmmie FUnnies. I myself have done 106 of them this past year, an average of two a week. And we've been doing the DUFUs, PJ and/or I, since September of 2004. Hundreds and hundreds of DUFUs.

But the thing is, compared to what happens here at the DUmpster, we at DUmmie FUnnies put more attention on the DUmmie comments than on the particular DUmmie characters by name. The big thing about the FUnnies is that they be FUnnie. PJ and I endeavor to make some witty comebacks, wisecracks, one-liners, ripostes, and assorted bon mots, in response to what the DUmmies say. We don't always spend a lot of time on the peculiarities of all the particular personalities at the DUmp. To be sure, many personalities do emerge, as a matter of course. Over the past seven-plus years, Pied Piper Pitt, Andy Stephenson, benburch, Head DUmmie Skinner, DUAC Earl, madfloridian, Bobo the Hobo, Know-it-all Nadin--they all have become "stars" of the DUFUs.

So, for example, some of the primitives prominent in the voting here--e.g., Omaha Steve, Stinky the Clown, Proud2BlibKansan, Taverner, underground panther--are not so well-defined in my mind, probably because we did not feature them as lead performers in the DUmmie FUnnies.

DUmmie nadinbrzezinski is my choice for DUmmie of the Year. There, I've said it. I'm committed. The Rubik's Cube has been crossed. I will ride this horse till the cows come home and reach their tipping point.

A-MEN!! I've been campaigning these guys to vote for NadaBrain for a few months now knowing these elections were coming up. Haven't pestered, or oversold anything, but they know how I feel.

If she doesn't win, it should be a sin. An affront to everything just in this world.
