The DUzy Awards are a near-perfect example of American democracy in action

[Oeditpus Rex]

Twenty-three people nominated posts for the latest round of DUzies. That's a tad less than .02 percent of DU's 112,370 registered members.

Conclusion: There's a ton o' seriously funny stuff around here that's not gettin' its propers.

I propose that overlooked element of DU hilarity be termed "Kuciniches" and those 23 people "the MSM."

1. Sadly, you are right.

Do you have enough popcorn for me?

[Dr. Strange]

14. That explain so much...

sniffa = hiLLary!

[hisownpetard]

20. Sniffa may not be Hillary, but he is definitely hillari-ous.

[IzaSparrow]

3. Well put.

However, we could call the overlooked elements of DU hilarity "Kuciniches" and the 23 people "Kucinich's wife."

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Except that she's prettier'n 23 DUers

Welcome to DU. :hi:

[IzaSparrow]

4. Damn straight.

The mass media completely ignores me, even when I am utterly hilarious. :(

Actually I think I have been mentioned on there once or twice.

But that's hardly indicative of my number of brilliantly funny quips, one-liners and sarcastic remarks.


*edit* Wait... does this mean I'm gonna get a hot english girlfriend soon? :P

25. Did you ever stop to think that it might be your third nipple that's dooming your nomination?

Maybe it's time to look in the mirror.

[DarkTirade]

26. ... how the hell did you know about that? :P

I keep telling people it's just a mole... but noooo... nobody believes me...

[Arugula Latte]

27. Let's just say those nekkid shots of you that you thought were a secret

have surfaced ... I know, I know. You were just starting out in the business back then and needed to eat. You thought they were "artistic."

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. If you guys insist on sexin' up my thread

we'll have to call this subset of posts "Britneys."

[DarkTirade]

30. That doesn't quite fit, see this subthread still has cultural relevance. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. Well, I suppose if you're gonna be a third-nipple candidate...

Nice post, Nader. :P

[DarkTirade]

29. Hey, those pictures had artistic merit!

Eggplants and lube are a very artistic combination.

[hisownpetard]

6. Good point, Gravel!

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. Nice post, General Electric

[no name no slogan]

8. Nice post, Liebermann

:popcorn:

[rug]

11. The DUzy caucuses are brutal.

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. Think this'll get a DUzy?

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. If it does

would that support my point or defeat it? :shrug:

[FloridaJudy]

23. Nice post, Katherine Harris

[MrCoffee]

16. does that make JeffR either Rove or Diebold?

[flvegan]

17. PAPER DUZY BALLOTS NOW!

[MrCoffee]

18. nice heart attack, Fred Sanford

chill out, homeslice.

[hisownpetard]

21. I see you've been following my posts closely and noticing how out-of-proportion the number of DUzys

I've received are vis-a-vis the total tonnage of titilation I've contributed to on this here site.

Some weeks, I've had the krap Kuciniched out of me, been kicked to the kurb and my spirit krushed.

But nothing can keep me down for long. You kan kall me the Komeback Kid (and I've never even been to New Hampshire).

[TZ]

22. Yes, its an unfair and biased system...

I know this because I have yet to get one...All I can say is ...The powers that be on DU obviously have not the wit to appreciate my satirical genius...that being said..GIMME, GIMME, GIMME!!!
(real subtle, huh?):rofl:

24. LOL!

:thumbsup: (especially your last sentence)

32. I'm thinking of starting up a kind of Morris Agency for would-be, wannabe DU comics...

I'd say 'stand-up comics', but clearly only a few are likely actually standing while shouting this shit from across the room via some voice activation script of some kind in that oft times only every 3 to 5 words are funny in the least; so I'll be representing sit-down comics and no I'm not talking like Bob Newhart on a stool with just a phone receiver in his hand sans cord rolling his eyes in the course of answering his own questions, no...

I'm talking folks that are true diamonds, or diamonds in the rough laboriously tippy-tapping away at their, presumably, ergonomic keyboards with every other good intent & intention well in their tiny little lion hearts cept the poor dears simply have no representation, you know...

Someone to send that friendly email into the bowels of the DU power structure itself, the tender, creative criticism we all need so vitally, the warm, fuzzily suggested 'spit cup take', or hi-larry-ass drop of the pants in cyber public, yeah! That's the ticket!!

This world *needs* funny, and DU is dropping the funny ball.
