Breaking: DUzy Academy announces schedule change & Special Sigline Award winners.

[JeffR]

For immediate release:

The DUzy Academy announced today that awards will be presented on Saturday nights beginning January 3, 2009.

Each week's awards will cover threads started between 12:01 AM Eastern on Saturday to 11:59 PM on Friday. Posts made at the stroke of midnight on Saturdays will henceforth be ineligible for recognition due to the sheer, arbitrary cussedness of Academy Chairman and guy-who-actually-has-to-do-all-the-work JeffR.

The Academy further announced the recipients of Special DU Signature Line awards, which include siglines no longer in use, siglines of now-tombstoned DUers and siglines very possibly ripped off from elsewhere but which still made the Academy Chairman laugh in that quiet, avuncular manner his friends and family so adore.:eyes:

1. As always, JeffR's perspicacity is unparalleled

At least, this week it is.

[Canuckistanian]

2. Damn, my sigline didn't win again this year

But here's to TomInTib..... :toast:

Tommy, we hardly knew ye.

[uppityperson]

10. k&r and that was odd.

[NightWatcher]

3. are we going to get a "best of 2008" or a thread of those DUers who are no longer with us (TS-ers)?

...it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday (picture Boyz 2 Men singing)

[Bucky]

4. Now I regret having deleted my old sigline.

It read "Buck Hussein y".

[smokey nj]

9. ......

:rofl:

[babylonsister]

5. "...that quiet, avuncular manner his friends and family so adore."

:rofl:

Thanks for all you do, JeffR, and this list is great!

[Kaleko]

21. Yeah, that cracked me up too.

"Avuncular" is a woefully neglected word.

I wonder why.

[Starry Messenger]

6. Nice job!

k & r

[Ghost in the Machine]

7. WTF?? No DUzy of the Year post???

It's a conspiracy, I say.... a conspiracy!!! Karl Rove is in on it somehow... I'm sure of this, but the only proof I have is Karl's silence on the subject.

This *can't* be good for DU *or* America...

*shakes head in disgust*

[smokey nj]

8. I'd like to thank the Academy for bestowing upon me this tremendous honor. I'd also like to thank

the guy who designed the t-shirt from which I stole my sig line. And last, but not least, I'd like to thank Ms. Keating, my high school typing teacher; without her tutelage my sig line might look something like this: "Gid wqz mu cp+[ikot/nit we xrsshed un teh moimtaons snd i had ro wat jim."

[jazzjunkysue]

28. Oh, shut up.

:hi:

(Just kidding!!!)

[rhett o rick]

11. Congrats to all the winners. I guess mine is too long or too serious. nm

[flvegan]

12. I would like to thank the DUzy Academy for this honor. I'd also like to thank

Dennis Kucinich for being a voice for America that I can be proud of, and for being on my ballot. Also, thanks to Svedka vodka for sponsoring the afterparty and the kickass gift bags. Lastly, republicans...SUCK IT, you lost! muahahahahaha

[Divine Discontent]

13. good job, JeffR & gang! eom

[tblue37]

14. My favorite:

damntexdem: I don't buy lead from China, anymore -- I hear that it's contaminated with toys.

[Triana]

15. BOOKMARKING! Heheheee! n/t

[eridani]

16. I'll have to give mine to Tom Robbins

It's my favorite line from Another Roadside Attraction, but the attribution took too many characters.

[JeffR]

17. No, you just let that ride.

I think the art of a good sigline rests largely in where you source it, and you sourced yours well. Thanks for your steadfast support all year long.

[shadowknows69]

18. I'm nominating my own for runner up

Totally original and I think it rocks so there. :P

...And congrats to the real winners. You rock too.

[ColbertWatcher]

19. I'd like to vote for all the wonderful pictures in SoCalDem's sig lines!

Thank you JeffR for this post!

Happy New Year!

[SoCalDem]

[Hubert Flottz]

23. Nothing like a wake up at 4:30 am the first day of a new year to find

out, that I'm a WINNER!

On my way out to play the lotto!

I would like to thank all the DUers out there in cyber space, for making the "internets" a far better thang. I'm Series!1!1!!1!111!!

"My past is coming up into my future and messing with my good time," Jesco White...I wish I'd said that, whatever it means!

Edit...BTW, several DUers said they liked my old sig line..."George Washington could never tell a lie, George Bush could never tell the truth"

[lonestarnot]

24. My sig line got eaten or I'm sure I would be playing the lotto too!

"Bushitler is a serial killer."

[Hubert Flottz]

25. I'll vote for you sig line!

Happy New Year!

[beac]

35. Thanks for all your hard work this year, JeffR AND for moving the eligibility window to

PERFECTLY coincide with the start of "Dayum, It's Cold & It's Friday, So Let's Get Tipsy and Surf DU" season. The unfortunate downside is, of course, this will also make it "Shyte, I Stayed Up All Night Sipping Sherry and Other Fine Potables and Trying To Be Witty and Now I'm Hungover, But Feel Compelled to Drag Myself to the Computer to Check for Possible DUzy" season.



Fortunately, the DUzys are a bright spot in any week, whether in the winners circle or not.

The first of many toasts to you in 2009, JeffR! :toast:
