[JeffR]

Welcome to the DUzy Awards, honoring worthy wisecracks, wicked wordsmithy and wayward wantonness from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!

The "so far outré they're intré" DUzies will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. Previous awards can be found in my journal.

Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized the DUzy Awards to be posted in GD.

OP by 11 Bravo:

      I don't want to make nice any more.
Yeah, I know it takes 43 muscles to frown and just 17 muscles to smile.
But it only takes 4 muscles to fully extend your arm and smack a right-wing shitweasel right in the snot locker!
I'm just sayin'.

On a thread by Judi Lynn:

      Giuliani cites Bible on personal life
"Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani compared the scrutiny of his personal life marked by three marriages to the biblical story of how Jesus dealt with an adulterous woman...

'I'm guided very, very often about, "Don't judge others, lest you be judged,"' Giuliani told CBN interviewer David Brody. 'I'm guided a lot by the story of the woman that was going to be stoned, and Jesus put the stones down and said, "He that hasn't sinned, cast the first stone," and everybody disappeared...'"

response #23 by damntexdem:

      If you're going to listen to this cast, get stoned first.

response #24 by SaveElmer:

      Except Commandments 1,3,6, 8 and 10...
Hey...he's battin .500!!!

response #27 by brentspeak:

      Rudy's favorite passages are always chapter 9, verse 11

response #41 by LiberalFighter:

      What do he and his followers have to say about this bible verse?
he woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

response #43 by CreekDog:

      Oh shoot, he's done that dozens of times

On a thread by BlooInBloo:

      Just What We Need! A Candidate Who Will "bring strong spiritual values into the White House"!
"During yesterday's Democratic presidential candidate debate... Seth Ford of South Jordan, Utah, e-mailed: 'My question is to understand each candidates' view of a personal God. Do they believe that, through the power of prayer, disasters like Hurricane Katrina or the Minnesota bridge collapse could have been prevented or lessened?'

KUCINICH: 'Now, the founders meant to have separation of church and state, but they never meant America to be separate from spiritual values. As president, I'll bring strong spiritual values into the White House...'"

response #1 by fenriswolf:

      yeah you're hilarious
whos crazier? the guy who thinks of religion in non concrete terms? like a form of positive energy that can be used for positive uses? or the guy who "god" personally talks to and gives him "mandates" in the form of war?

response #3 by BlooInBloo:

      It's like asking me which Oompa Loompa is shorter. I'm certain there's one correct answer...

      6 die from brain-eating amoeba in lakes
"It sounds like science fiction but it's true: A killer amoeba living in lakes enters the body through the nose and attacks the brain where it feeds until you die.

Even though encounters with the microscopic bug are extraordinarily rare, it's killed six boys and young men this year. The spike in cases has health officials concerned, and they are predicting more cases in the future..."

response #1 by HypnoToad:

      That puts the Ceti Eel and the willy loving Candirú fish to shame...
Either way, this amoeba gives a new definition to the phrase "giving head"... :hide:

      The man behind the Myanmar madness: General Than Shwe, 74
"Myanmar's monk-led struggle for political change has made global headlines, but the dictator who rules the country with an iron fist, General Than Shwe, 74, is still obscure, often grimly hidden behind dark sunglasses and a military uniform decorated with medals. He is widely viewed, both at home and overseas, as the major stumbling block to national reconciliation and the restoration of democracy..."

      Could Gore pursue the Republican nomination?

response #6 by Buzz Clik:

      Could Gore be the President of Mars?

response #13 by BullGooseLoony:

      No. He's not a native of Mars, and the Martian Constitution
requires that he be born on the planet in order to be the President.

On a thread by Old Crusoe:

      Give us your first 4 choices in order for 08.

response #1 by MNDemNY:

      Here
Clem Kadidelhopper
Joan of Arc
"Itch Balls" Baufield...(My h.s. gym teacher)
Phil Spector

response #3 by grytpype:

      I can't support Kadidelhopper because of his position on asparagus.

response #7 by Old Crusoe:

      Joan's centuries-ago death might be a disqualifying factor.
And with the recent discourse involving torture of detainees etc., I'm disinclined to go with Phil Spector. He seems to play a little too rough for me.

I like Clem, mind you, but he's fictional, which means his vote totals will be fictional, and so his odds are too long. Voters have gone for a fake cowboy who was a real person but so far not a fake person

who is fictional.

That leaves "Itch Balls" Baufield. How does he stand on NAFTA?

response #17 by MNDemNY:

      I think you should reconsider Phil, he has not been convicted.
He's just misunderstood.

response #19 by Old Crusoe:

      Well, he does have impressive hair-dos of late.

response #20 by MNDemNY:

      Of course he did spend $400 on that cut.

On a thread by IDemo:

      Huge stores of oxygen found deep inside Earth
"... The key to the abundant oxygen storage is the mineral majorite, which exists deep below Earth's surface in the mantle. Without the oxygen stockpile, Earth would probably be a barren planet hostile to life, authors of a study suggest in the Sept. 27 issue of the journal Nature..."

response #1 by groovedaddy:

      I'm already breathing easier...
Have we reached "peak oxygen" yet?

response #2 by Lautremont:

      Wait until it's discovered that majorite can fuel a Humvee.
The stuff won't last long. Better save a few jars of oxygen while you can.

On a thread by sabra:

      Bush attacks 'Hollywood values'
"US President George W. Bush ripped into "Hollywood values" on Monday, in a surprise attack at the entertainment industry that overwhelmingly backs his Democratic foes.

Bush's rhetorical broadside came as he paid tribute to the new chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, US Navy Admiral Mike Mullen, noting that his parents were well regarded behind-the-scenes players in the US movie industry.

'Many people are surprised when told about the admiral's show business roots. After all, he is humble, well-grounded and filled with common sense. Not exactly what one thinks about when they think of Hollywood values,' said Bush...

Asked whether this was a veiled snub aimed at Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson, a former senator with a long career as an actor, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino incredulously replied: 'No.'

'I don't know how you're drawing that connection,' she said."

response #3 by tanyev:

      Dana didn't do well in connect-the-dot activities in elementary school.

response #6 by wienerdoggie:

      Honestly, I'll bet Chimpy just forgot Thompson was even running for President--
everyone else has!

response #13 by Alcibiades:

      How can we forget the former mayor of Carmel?
Flint Wormwood, or something like that.

response #38 by mahatmakanejeeves:

      When he says "show business," does he mean
the "toe-tapping kind of show business," if you know what I mean? Hmmmmmmmmm?

"Big Mac(R) Beats The Bible for Majority of Americans, Ten Commandments Not Set in Stone

How many of the Ten Commandments can you name? That was the question posed in a recent survey of 1,000 Americans, which revealed that respondents were more familiar with the ingredients of a McDonald's(R) hamburger than they were with the historical basis for our nation's legal and moral code.

Done in conjunction with the upcoming nationwide theatrical release from Promenade Pictures of the animated feature film The Ten Commandments on Oct. 19, the study was commissioned by the Ten Commandments Commission and conducted by Kelton Research.,,"

At press time, "The Poop" was winning with 96% of the votes. This may be the beginning of a real populist movement, though some anal-retentive types are still holding back.

1. oh no

of all the things I posted this week, you picked the ~worst~ :rofl:

[stellanoir]

2. Well I thought

I was the first rec without reading but alas I was slow.

Thanks pal as ever.

[Patsy Stone]

3. chapter 9, verse 11

A classic.

I really meant to nominate this post, and I'm sad no one else has: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1970145&mesg_id=1970189

That'll learn me.

Another great week of laughs amongst the madness. :thumbsup:

on edit: fifth rec!

[JeffR]

4. Thanks, I'll get that in next week!

:pals:

[Richard Steele]

6. Same here- I have to look up a few of those for future use! nm

[tanyev]

5. Two! I got two!

I eagerly await offers from designers who want me to wear one of their expensive dresses to the awards show!

[babylonsister]

9. Ha!

:spray: That makes three!

[SoCalDem]

23. Take the Prada, dahhhhlink.. It's YOU !

:)

[malaise]

7. Great Duzys

The ten commandments v the Big Mac was priceless. :rofl:

[saltpoint]

8. Thanks to ya, JeffR. After a dreary week of Bush's mindless domestic

policy, heartless foreign policy, and incoherent mumblings and chatterings, it's a fine treat to read DUers' comments on events.

Thanks to you and your crew of helpers for making Fridays fun.

[babylonsister]

10. Great stuff! Thank you, JeffR, and all DUers for the laughs! nt

[NV Whino]

11. I think we should have the DUsy's DUsys

This week has to rank first. Or, maybe it's just the scotch.

[EFerrari]

12. Thanks Jeff and Congrats, Duzys!

:applause:

[BrklynLiberal]

13. Thanks for the highlights. Enjoyed every one of them.

It is great to be able to catch up on the great threads that I missed...

[OzarkDem]

14. Congrats Winners!

Some real gems this week. :rofl:

[Kurovski]

15. K&R

Journeyman:

"Even if you choose a Door Knob as a Higher Power. . .
it'll help get you through a lot of jambs." :rofl:

I loved all the "moaning", too.

Will have to check the TopTen and "visuals" later.

Congrats to all! Thanks JR.

[Lugnut]

16. K&R n/t

[Mythsaje]

17. Thou shalt not have any other clowns before me...

Now THAT killed.

If it weren't for the fact I'm getting over a vicious cold and can't afford to laugh too hard or I'll wake my wife up coughing, I'd've lost it on that one.


And here I thought I'd brought out the extra-fresh snark this week. No DUzy for me though. I'll have to break into my snark stash and see if I can find something more fragrant.

[krispos42]

18. "Dana didn't do well in connect-the-dot activities in elementary school."

:rofl: :thumbsup:

[eridani]

19. Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can, and the
Wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they PISSED ME OFF!!

[DarkTirade]

20. Weehoo, I do believe that's my first mention on one of these.

At least the first I can recall. :)

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

21. Oh my goodness

My goal that morning was to make the greatest page. It took hours and lots of hints, but I finally eked out 5 recs.

But a Duzy, a DUZY!

Only in America can a less than 1000 poster, with determination and hard work, pull herself up by the bootstraps and achieve such a goal.

P.S. Duzy's ARE just for American posters aren't they?

[Buzz Clik]

31. Recommendations versus DUzys.

The only time a thread of mine received more than two recommendations was when I posted something for somebody else. Her thread was so well received, it got around 50 recs and was on the front page.

My cumulative number of DUzys far exceeds my cumulative number of recommendations. Why doesn't anyone take me seriously? :cry:

Ah, screw 'em. I'd rather have a DUzy.

[sutz12]

22. Basically just a kick.

:)

:kick:

[sce56]

24. I think you missed this thread it had to be the weirdest thing seen here this week!

Why is that little girl chewing on a diaphragm?

"Maybe it's Grandpa Fred's seat cushion The one for his hemorrhoids."

[JeffR]

25. Eeeeeeewwww!

:-)

[Buzz Clik]

26. "Itch Balls" Baufield For President.

I like it.

Rather than a ballot, he can appear as a choice on a scratch-off lottery.

[Buzz Clik]

27. This is the second time my name has appeared as the muse of a DUzy winner.

It's a rare honor.

To demonstrate that I can take it as well as dish it out, I retract my implication that Virginia Dare not only looks like a goat but smells like one.

[JeffR]

28. Very gallant

:)

[hisownpetard]

29. Congratz to all the Winners! As much time as I spend on DU, I'm always amazed to see

how many good threads I've totally missed!! (If only the day were 48 hrs. long...)
Thanks, JeffR, for the great work.

[Buzz Clik]

30. Magic DUzy moments.

During the course of a week, many of us bounce in and out of DU, leave a trail of debris, and come back again sometime later. One can easily make the assumption that absolutely no one is paying attention to the things you write. And then the DUzys come out, eliciting this potential series of unintended reactions:

1. Sweet jeebus. I didn't really say that, did I?
   
2. Hey! I was being serious!
   
3. Yeah, sure. Give somebody a comedy award for getting laughs at my expense. (I share this category with some big names at DU, not the least of which is Will Pitt.)
   
4. Oh, sure. She says it and gets a DUzy. When I said it, my the thread was locked, my comments deleted, and name removed.

What really annoys me about category 3 is that I actually have nominated threads in which I was being slammed. (What was I thinking?)

As always, Jeffy, great work.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

32. I'd like to thank the members of the academy

For never letting me into college.

Great job JeffR! :yourock:
