a most false and malicious slander

[BadCat]

I think the DUmmies should read up on a software product called "Accumulo",  because they're in it.

[franksolich]

We're not supposed to mention the 'Achafalaya' program or its related site here?  Shucks.

You know, there's a reason I no longer invite people myself.

I'm a risk-taker, and while I'm perfectly happy to absorb the consequences of a bad risk, it wouldn't be decent and civilized to pull down others with me.

Years ago, when Scamdy first got underway, and was collecting all sorts of good information, I spotted a talent on Skins's island that'd be useful for us.  I didn't know much about him--certainly a great deal less than what I learned later--but figured he'd be a good addition in the backroom there.

So I invited him. 

He ignored my invitation--"Who's franksolich; a nobody, a nothing."

In case anyone's curious, that was the benburch primitive, Fat Che, I'd invited.

And then years after that, when this other site had started, and was collecting all sorts of good information, I spotted a talent here that'd be useful for us.  I knew some things about him, and they were all good things.

So I invited him.

He ignored my invitation--"Who's franksolich; a nobody, a nothing."

In case anyone's curious, that was AllentownJake.

Two primitives who carelessly threw away opportunities to penetrate to the core, because they thought franksolich was a nobody, a nothing.

<<<not much, but more than a nobody, a nothing.

Of course, it was a good thing they ignored my invitations, but again, it's a perfect illustration of why it's stupid of primitives to not pay attention to the advice and counsel of franksolich.  They inevitably lose, when they don't.

Coach would make a great corporate executive in marketing.
You may recall he singlehandedly maneuvered the worthless, undeserving DUmmy Ann Pritchett into a DUmmy of the Year award.

It was an outstanding P.R. job.

But don't allow him within a mile of Human Resources.

Yeah, it would've been, uh, interesting, having Fat Che in our midst at Scamdy.

I however justified it--after finding out what squalid trash he was--by pointing out that we outnumbered him, and could have him feed information to us while all we'd have to do to keep him quiet was dispense snippets of information about primitives he sought, personally, to blackmail.

Remember, that was Fat Che's raison d'etre on Skins's island; he got his jollies out of blackmailing his fellow primitives.

But in hindsight, no, it was better that he ignored the invitation; it would've given him the keys to everything.

[Tucker]

Fat Che had another reason to be. Without him, what would we have called Fat Che's Little Brother?

[BattleHymn]

A new entry has been made at the other site. 

[franksolich]

A new entry has been made at the other site. 

Well, I've been waiting all day long for the pretzeled one to show up.

No particular reason; just that he gets engaged.

I wonder if he's going to.

[ChuckJ]

Well, and I'm repeating myself for the nth time, there's an easy way for primitives to escape notice of those "watching" them, be it governmental agencies or private individuals.

Just don't say anything stupid, and I can guarantee the primitive won't get noticed.

Come on, coach. You know you're suggesting the impossible. It's like telling water not to be wet or fire not to be hot.

Well, I'm not talking here about being stupid in politics; the primitives can't help being stupid in politics any more than I can help being deaf.

I'm thinking of other sorts of stupidty.

^^^an old example, but it was on top of the stack; this sort of stupidity shows up on Skins's island just about every day.

Or this:

Of course the skumbag primitive was lying; he made no such contribution.

That sort of shit, threats and lies.

Or talking about cheating the government with questionable claims for unemployment, disability, medical care, whatnot--it's pretty stupid to admit to such things publicly.

Or inciting race-hate, as was done with the Zimmerman-Martin case; that was nothing but pure racism, and hence really stupid.

Or revealing psychological problems; that's pretty stupid to do publicly.

And there's some things that are just downright silly, like admitting the wife makes one use the bathroom in the basement so one doesn't stink up the good bathrooms upstairs.  That's pretty stupid.

How does that old saying go? It's better to have everyone think you're an idiot than to post at DU and remove all doubt.

Maybe that's not the exact wording, but it seems to fit.

[MoshMasterD]

The only thing that remotely resembles a dossier is what they put on the DUmp publicly.

[Ptarmigan]

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! No one told me about files or dossiers of DUmmies here. How come I am the last to know about this? 

[USA4ME]

That's really funny. Pitt must have borrowed from that after the late red round twinkie croaked and he did his lame "grind you with my heel" rant.

Their desire for revenge just never matches up with their ability to follow through.

[GOBUCKS]

The best thing about the DUmmy dossiers is that they aren't subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

[Big Dog]

We seem to be missing your Non-Disclosure Agreement. I'm sure we can upbrief you once that little box is checked, Mr. Ptarmigan.

Remember, the signature must be made with your own blood.

Yeah, there are few things that are both pathetic and amusing than bombastic threats from someone who is obviously powerless to carry out even the tiniest aspect of them.  Of course, that is a certain part of the DU hilarity factor which provides so much laughter for the sane here, at CU, and on DUFU.

[Skul]

Well, sir, a few have attempted to follow through with assaults.
CalPigs poetry, gNads posts, and lately, pretzel-pu**ies troll (I nearly died laughing).

Or the blood of a DUmmy. Preferably one that doesn't have cooties.

Well, that works . . . I think it actually goes thusly:

It is better for one to remain silent and be thought of as a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

Think about it; think about how the sparkling old dude's always resented us, even though it was in good fun.

There was nothing, absolutely nothing, that made him stick out from the other primitives, until that fateful comment he made about his wife making him use the bathroom in the basement.

He made that comment near the end of our stay at our old home, years ago.

That forever formed everybody's impression of him, no matter whatever else he said or did.

That was really stupid of him to admit to that; if he hadn't, he probably would've been taken more seriously all these subsequent years.

Now, nobody's perfect; I've said some pretty stupid things myself, that have probably given others a less-than-flattering impression of me.  But the difference in our reactions says much about the differences between decent and civilized people, and primitives.

Whenever I've said something stupid or ridiculous, I've been embarrassed, but well, excresence happens.  One accepts, adapts, and moves on.

The sparkling old dude's reaction on the other hand, was that he formed a lifelong grudge against anybody and everybody who had learned that intimate detail of his personal life.  He wouldn't let go, and his grudge kept that "image" of him very much alive all these past years, instead of it gradually fading from memories.

He shouldn've just laughed at his gaffe, and carried on.

[franksolich]

You'd be surprised what information they give out about themselves in PM's when they think that your mole is a friend.

Yeah.

That happened to me this evening, although I haven't decided whether or not to use it in one of the Top DUmmie awards if a particular primitive wins a spot in the top ten.

In personal messages, primitives really need to be more inhibited.

[txradioguy]

I wonder if those clowns still pay attention to Conservative Underground anymore.  They're definitely oblivious to DUmmies FUnnies.

Every so often I google my name and Clown Posse or add a couple of the names I remember like nolu chan and DivaBetsyRoss to the search to see if my name comes up in any new discussions.  Nothing out there from those mouth breathers in the last 3 years.

Though I do have a link to a repository they started that has just about every post I made during the time they came here and to CU to harass me.

I have a Google Alert set up under my name. So far, I've learned that I am a motorcycle drag racer, a mayor of a small town in Australia, and a well-known screenwriter.

It's kind of fun.
