Rather than suffer through another hundred threads about a dead fat thug, while waiting for nadin to return I went back to scan through some DUmp nuthatch threads from back in the day of rampant Bush Derangement Syndrome.
The nutty DUmmies posted some hilarious stuff back then. It's like a treasure trove of craziness from the heyday of icons like Beth Ferrari, UGP, and Big Mo.
Anyway, I liked this one from a dissatisfied asylum customer:

Original message
I just came home from a week in the hospital.
D'ja miss me?
I couldn't sleep or eat for four days after an "incident" at work.
Not sure how much I am allowed to reveal right now, other than I did nothing wrong, but it took a long time for me to realize how to back out of fights -- mostly with the charge nurse who promised she'd collect my urine speciment (which she called pee pee) in order to get me to hurry up, and then I confronted her about the fact that the bacteria filled urine was still in my room the next day. Less than an hour later, my pants were soaked in urine from another incident in the bathroom and she said I "did it on purpose". Needless to say, among other things, I am going to take my time with my patient satisfacction survey.

I've been writing so gosh darn much about it. Must be up to 100 pages by now, and sending it out to everywhere in the land. I want to post what I can hear, but there are real names and legal implications involved.
Afraid of a lawsuit from DUmpangelnumbers?

7. Good luck Kire! The process takes forever. We got my sister on
it and it took about a year. I had a professor who worked for the state who told me to get in touch with my congressman's office... because they can put a rush on your application, if you call them up all teary and stuff. It worked for her.

13. the problem with that is...
...the job I had before the one where I was attacked was working as a Field Coordinator for my Congressman's Opponent. He's one of those Nu-Metal Republican's. The first one ever endorsed by the Club for Growth. It's going to be a long year.
Actually, I was very teary-eyed late last fall to his former opponent about it all, and she wasn't all that helpful, either. "There will always be bullies," is something she said. I honestly don't believe she'll make it through the primary.
thanks for the idea, though
in "true blue" districts, it would probably work

Insomnia's a lot worse without the internet connection and the people in the Lounge I can talk to.
I just found a consumer run community house kind of place. I'm using their high speed internet connection now. I finally got to clear out my gmail box for the first time in almost two weeks. What a relief.
Easter Seals is coming to my house every day. My meds are fine, as long as I can get to them when I need them. They're talking about putting me in an apartment paid for by SS. The only other option is for my best friend, Dawn to marry me and move in somewhere. I have tried to live with other people in the same house for 10 years now, and it always ended up with either me calling the cops on them, going to the mental hospital, or both.
I'm just a really paranoid guy. That is my primary symptom now. I shouted at a couple of gas station attendants to get my 53 cents that they pumped into my tank when I didn't ask for. I'm still writing letters to the managers of all the social service organizations in the county about stuff. And I came very close to sticking my finger in the mousetrap that said "Complaint Department" at the local Fruit Stand. Tt was apparently the wind that made the scale say 0.03 lbs before I put my pear on it, she said and stomped off.

12. easter seals is on the case
and my best friend just graduated with an MSW in May (in the middle of all this for me), I swear I'm going to marry her someday
I wrote a letter to the head of the division of temporary service and I got a very swift and pro-active reply (i hate that word but I can't think of a better one), she said she immediately sent a memo for people to review and dispose of offensive signs and she thanked me for pointing out something her employees have been "immune to" all these years. I wrote back again to thank her (and recommend her for a raise, a promotion and some extra time off) and also to say that if they are immune to signs that say "the beatings will continue until morale improves", then maybe they're immune to the mission statement posted on the wall, and all of those legal documents that are up there, too.
the easter seals counselor is really great, actually. she was supposed to call my mom's "boyfriend/companion/(literal)partner in crime" to tell him never to contact me again (and to return the key that I let him have because he was going to fight for it while I was asleep and medicated - if I was alert, he would have been pushed around).
well, that's all I can think of
oh, one more thing, I took the only shuttle to the self help house where I am writing this email from tonight, and it stopped by the Shop Rite, and right up to where all the employees sit and smoke - and there was my attacker, laughing and smoking and before we could make eye contact I turned my back and held it there for about two minutes until the bus was out on the street. I'm bringing my umbrella next time, and opening it to cover the window just before we pull up.
Wait...this is a bad idea. They might kick me out right there at the bench where my attacker sits and smokes. But the manager of the transit agency refuses to make exceptions for my case (that Shop Rite is right in the middle of EVERYTHING - it is like the cender and everything else is spokes on a wheel - you can't go anywhere without going through there). My easter seals social worker has been able to do a lot for me, but she even told me that this transit company is notoriously difficult. Another day, another atrocity, eh?
We just don't get golden DUmmy nuts like this anymore.
Loconuts and Dennis the Menace were close but didn't last.
Please join Skimmer and me in praying for nadin's imminent return.
