I'm still trying to fine-tune the Top DUmmies awards--nominations begin a mere fifty days hence, on Thanksgiving Eve--and have for a while been contemplating adding a fourth special award.
As it now stands in the Top DUmmies awards, which are given out between Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve every year, there's twenty primitives chosen to be Top DUmmies. The bottom ten of the top twenty get one award, given en masse, with half a sentence or so describing each primitive.
The top ten of the top twenty each gets his or her own award.
And then there's three special awards:
-the William Rivers Pitt, the "Willie," for the primitive who did much to spread around and enhance the reputation and good name of Skins's island (any years, not just this one);
-the Steven Dawes, the "Steve," for the primitive who made the biggest fool of himself during the past year (one supposes "wallduding"); and
-the Robyn McGrath, the "Rob," for the primitive who was the most laughable, the most amusing, during the past year.
For a while, I've been contemplating a fourth award, to be called either the Michael Pantano--the "Mike"--or the Eva Gage--the "Eva"--for the most racist primitive on Skins's island the past year.
But I dunno; this is just an idea I'm tossing around.
I selected "Mike" or "Eva" for the award, because one might recall two years ago, it was the sparkling old dude and the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive who were the first to attack an innocent man who'd defended himself against a thug. They were the first ones to bring up the issue on Skins's island, purposely inciting the primitives into a frenzy of race-hate.
If they hadn't mentioned it, the primitives would've never known about it, and we would've been spared all this stupid nonsense.
But I dunno. Any alternative ideas, or thoughts?
