***DUzy Awards for week ending January 18, 2008*** |
Advertisements [?]
Welcome to the seditious, salacious, salubrious DUzy Awards, a compendium of star-spangled amusement from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!The DUzy Awards 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. Next week: a round-up of some of the Mercer threads & a couple of leftovers from this week. Readers who don't usually check out the Visuals owe it to themselves to at least read WillyT's "Anybody Up For A Round Of Kumbaya ???" and the insanely brilliant response by NoPasaran. Younger readers: ask your parents... This should have appeared last week. On a thread by K8-EEE: Since when does FoxNews have a sex advice column? "What’s it going to take to get her into bed? Whether he’s just met a gal or has been dating a dame for a while, this is the million-dollar question that looms in the back of nearly every man’s mind when his focus becomes that of pleasure pursuits. ... When you wear a "sexpert" hat like me, men are always bashfully asking you to give them guidance on how to score more with women of interest or those they have been wooing for a while. Thankfully, there are some surefire techniques that will make her weak in the knees and game for intimacy. All you need to do is brush up on your Casanova routine, create Eros-inducing moments and employ some warm-up seduction moves that would put Romeo to shame..." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,321867,00.html response #1 by InternalDialogue: (insert appropriate falafel comment here) response #6 by Kurovski: Proper men's room etiquette is also an important part of romance for the Right-Winger. Let's not be forgetting this. response #8 by Swamp Rat: Yes, the 'reach-around' is paramount... ... it's the ethical thing to do. response #11 by K8-EEE: Always be warm and romantic when reaching under the stall Your partner will love you for it! response #12 by Kurovski: ...the wider the stance, the fuller the pants. Take a tap-dance class for an added dimension to your love-making. For a real turn-on, steal quarters from beggars' cups together. response #3 by TwoSparkles: "All you need to do is brush up... ...on your Casanova routine..." Yeah. If you're trying to boink Rue McClanahan. response #14 by SalmonChantedEvening: Dating a DAME? LOLOL Gee, those Brooklyn Dodgers sure have a swell team, don't they? I'm taking Mamie to the Polo Grounds tomorrow to watch them play the Giants! :silly: Tune in next week for Time Capsule Theater, the year will be 1748. response #18 by hootinholler: Methinks the lady doth protest too much! Forsooks for if we are caught the red letter shall certainly make its appearance. response #21 by K8-EEE: Next week: How to bag a swell broad! n/t On a thread by LoZoccolo: Today is the worst day in the history of Democratic Underground. response #9 by redqueen: DOOGA DOOGA DOOGA! response #13 by IndianaJones: the designer vagina thread? nt. response #37 by NoPasaran: I think it was that day in 2004 when GD: P crashed And Skinner sent evryone to bed without any supper. response #38 by Bucky: You must not remember 2004 too well. We've seen much worse. Those Kucinich-Dean-Clark-Kerry flamefests were absolute classics... and we didn't even have big guns like race & sex to play with. We were calling each other traitors and fascists over gun control and the freakin' Department of Peace back then. These Obama-Clinton flamiacs are nothing but pikers. response #53 by Debi: Nope - Fat Actress wars kicks any GD-P flamefest :rofl: response #67 by Township75: Well, there is always tomorrow! that could be way worse!!! response #72 by JVS: Try to balance it with the best day on DU. Remember the day that Liebermania over-ran DU... during the 2004 primaries and a whole bunch of Dean supporters sang the praises of Joe "our most electable choice for 2004" Lieberman? Good times. response #82 by Phoebe Loosinhouse: But, it's also the first day of the rest of our life. nt. On a thread by LostinVA: Post one interesting thing about yourself response #53 by rug: I was locked in a room in a mental hospital with a cannibal at lunchtime, without lunch. response #63 by otherlander: Zach, is that you? Look, man, I didn't mean to bite your nose off. But the idiot in charge of the hospital decided it would be a good idea to give me anti-depressants. But they were able to sew it back on, and that's the important thing, right? Are there still scars on the left side? response #86 by stuntcat: I can say the alphabet backwards in 5 seconds (I'll repeat that every time there's a thread like this because everything else sounds weird and bullshitier :)) response #91 by skinnyjeans: I have a dictionary that does not have any modern words, I can't find a single one. response #130 by no name no slogan: I have a really, really huge personality response #151 by kwassa: There is absolutely nothing interesting about me at all.

I'm actually (not always) enjoying this election season so far! I mean, once you get away from the back-biting, self-immolation, and "Good-Bye DU" threads, this is pretty great! response #21 by BlueDogDemocratNH: I thought you were going to mention Olive Garden Thank goodness... OP by BleedingHeartPatriot: The DU roller coaster ride, this week, via paraphrased perusal of the Latest page.. Get on board, you'll scream, laugh, puke and cry! 1/6. Edwards won the debate last night. Obama won the debate last night. Clinton won the debate last night The Republicans really sucked. My candidate can beat any Republican, see this poll. Hillary crying, video here. OMG, look at her blubbering. What if she cries when she meets with Putin? Hillary’s tears are fake. Edwards said something mean about Hillary crying. Edwards is cruel. Hey, Hillary wasn’t crying. It’s not sexist to say Hillary cried. Poll: Will Hillary’s crying help her or hurt her? 1/7. She didn’t cry, and Edwards said something nice. Go Obama! Obama is unstoppable! Look at these polls, Obama is way ahead! My coworker's niece said she'll never vote for Clinton because she cried. Helloooo, Edwards is still running. Hillary’s going for the pity vote. Obama’s too corporate. Poll: Is it sexist to say Hillary is a female? Hillary stole Edwards's passion. Hillary’s a crying warmonger. Too bad Obama can’t just cry and get a bunch of votes. Bill Clinton says he can’t make Hillary younger. Go Edwards! “Iron my shirt” “Iron my shirt" guys are Hillary plants. Skinner: …I believe America is ready for a black president and here’s why…. 1/8 Hillary’s ahead, yay! WTF? Hillary’s winning? Awesome turnout for Democrats! WooHoo, Hillary won! OK New Hampshire, thanks for nothing. Congratulations to Sen. Clinton! America is fucked. The race is still wide open! Poll: Did Hillary’s crying help her win? Hellooo, Edwards is still in the race. McCain won? McCain’s speech sucked. Tweety is seriously unhinged. 1/9 Election Fraud!!!! Get over it, she won. Hey Edwards, you need to drop out. Edwards supporters, check in here. Relax, there’s still 48 other states. Detailed analysis of exit polls here. Detailed analysis of each New Hampshire county voter demographic here. Detailed description of machine vs. hand counted ballots here. Detailed analysis of polling variability with undecideds and rolling results here. Detailed description of the Wilder effect here. “Iron my shirt” guys were from a local radio station. Poll: Should the votes be recounted in New Hampshire? Skinner: Election result analysis and discussion will now be in the Election Reform forum. I will never vote for Hillary and here’s why. I will never vote for Obama and here’s why. Edwards is a phony and here’s why. Matthews is really obsessing about the Clintons. Edwards beats every Republican in this poll. Obama beats every Republican in this poll. Clinton beats every Republican in this poll. Skinner: …I believe America is ready for a woman president and here’s why.. Can’t we all just get along? 1/10. Kerry endorses Obama. Yay, great endorsement! Obama is going to win South Carolina! Kerry slapped Edwards in the face. Kerry stabbed Clinton in the back. The Culinary Workers Union endorsed Obama! Service Employees International Union of Nevada endorsed Obama! Gov. Napolitano endorsed Obama! Look at this email I just got about Obama. Please read this email my RW brother-in-law sent me about Obama. Is this true? Email I received about Obama. My coworker’s niece said she’ll never vote for Obama because of this email. Andrew Cuomo said, “shuck and jive.” Don’t forget, McCain really sucks. McCain is dangerous. The Clintons are racist. The Clintons aren’t racist. Hellooo, Edwards is still running. Richardson drops out. Kucinich demands a recount. "Likable enough" is condescending. The official Republican Debate thread. Tweety really hates Hillary. 1/11. Edwards hasn’t really changed. Obama is too corporate. Hillary never apologized for her IWR vote. FOX says Thompson won the debate, WTF? Bush says we should have bombed Auschwitz. Bush in the ME, where’s Cheney? Bush in the Holy Land, where’s the lightening? Obama is going to win S.C. Edwards will surge. Hillary is going to be on Meet The Press. And… The icing on the cake…THE DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND MOVIE. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=2656529 Whew, that was a great ride, I'm getting back in line!

I do recall that breakfast was probably being served at the moment of impact, hijackers or not. response #17 by LostinVA: Cornflakes and breast milk There's a reason why you can't bring that stuff on planes, anymore. response #23 by DS1: and we all know that the mass of breast milk increases with speed this so called 'heavy breast milk', which the Nazis tried to enrich Uranium with eventually congealed and left them without the bomb. Until the Hillarybergers recovered the dust and formed up with Gerber to make super-accelerated building-vaporizing breast milk, injected it into Barbara Olsen, who immediately fucked up and got on the wrong plane so they crashed that one into the strongest side of the pentagon just to make sure she really felt it, so they set off charges after a handful of SAP consultants looked enough liked terrorists to pin the blame on while Cheney steered both planes from underneath Yucca mountain. response #28 by LostinVA: It all makes so much sense now response #7 by NoPasaran: Karl Rove's Tsunami Machine? response #9 by cali: The Flying Spaghetti Monster sneezed n/t response #19 by H2O Man: Poland response #24 by citizen_jane: ...

I remember sparring in karate class years ago and getting kicked in the head. I fell backwards instead of crumpling into a neat pile. That's proof enough for me.

It must be true, I read it on DU. response #89 by ronnykmarshall: Donnie McClurkin's mangina. response #95 by lamprey: Blame The Clenis finally I can see how WJC/WTC fuckup happened. response #96 by DS1: That's right Bill Clinton had accidentally left his balls hanging out of a chartered flight from Harlem, which struck the towers at two different heights, as giant testicles naturally would. response #120 by EstimatedProphet: It was the old grumpy guy!

I've considered "Huge in Japan" as well. response #18 by struggle4progress: Gertrude Stein Explains Fermat's Last Theorem response #29 by IzaSparrow: Heavy... would it be spoken word, or death metal? response #37 by struggle4progress: "Fermat's Last Theorem" OBVIOUSLY refers to brilliant intricate jazzy improvization while "Gertrude Stein" warns you of our tendency to twist, repeat, and reuse an otherwise potentially great line until one is mindnumbingly sick of it response #24 by Jamastiene: Lake Titicaca and the Aquatic Scrotums. That's the name of a real lake in Peru and the English translation for the name of toads that live there. And it's a perfect band name, if you ask me. :evilgrin: response #43 by Roon: Johnny Tampon and the Toxic Shocks eom response #233 by blockhead: What kind of music do you play? Ragtime? response #77 by asjr: My daughter and I used to laugh about starting our own duo and since we both have ample bosoms were going to call ourselvs "The Juggs" in honor of Wynona and Naomi. Trouble is we can't sing. response #84 by Catsbrains: Yeast infected gutter sluttin' whores. response #85 by Connonym: Obviously it would be "Kara Thrace and Her Special Destiny" and it would be a really bad cover band. I'd play the toaster. response #86 by Wetzelbill: Yellow Number Five And as the frontman I would go by the name Exclamation Point, and sign it like !. My lead guitarist would be known as "The Outskirts." Our first album will be called: "Community Food Bank." response #88 by chknltl: The Big Bong Theory ...good thing I have no musical talents, that logo painted on the side of an old van might attract attention. response #111 by Droopy: Droopy and the Anti-Depressants response #113 by mikeytherat: "Enzydeco" Roots-based music for dudes with "male-enhancement issues." If we could capture just 10% of that market, we'd be billionaires before breakfast. response #131 by IzaSparrow: ... :rofl: you could announce tour dates as part of spam emails! probably get sponsorship money by a few of the bigger scammers. response #114 by Ikonoklast: "The Apathetic Procrastinators" We don't really care if we ever get the album finished. Maybe next month. response #151 by ZombieNixon: The Fresca Douches - Punk rock Cornflake-Breaded Chicken - Country influenced southern rock Olive Garden's Ultimate Breadstick Challenge - Mediterranean surf rock Flame War - death metal :D response #177 by Peake: Hitler and the Nice Posts. response #204 by KamaAina: Your Candidate Sucks I know, I know.

"... In a speech described by the White House as the centerpiece of his eight-day trip to the Middle East, Bush tried to speak directly to the people of Iran as he urged nations to help the United States 'confront this danger before it is too late.' 'You have a right to live under a government that listens to your wishes, respects your talents and allows you to build better lives for your families,' Bush said to Iranians. 'Unfortunately, your government denies you these opportunities, and threatens the peace and stability of your neighbors. So we call on the regime in Tehran to heed your will, and to make itself accountable to you...'" response #3 by SeattleGirl: By "too late", I think he means before he leaves the WH. :grr: response #5 by SalmonChantedEvening: He said this about ANOTHER GOVERNMENT? "You have a right to live under a government that listens to your wishes, respects your talents and allows you to build better lives for your families. Unfortunately, your government denies you these opportunities, and threatens the peace and stability of your neighbors." Projection the folks at Panavision would envy. On a thread by KitchenWitch: Ralph Nader is on the ballot for TWO different parties in the CA Primary :wow: response #1 by ZombieNixon: So, he's going to be taking votes away from himself? :shrug: On a thread by orleans: No smoking! Convicts go cold turkey "The state's new indoor smoking ban is creating problems for thousands of smokers forced to quit cold turkey and face withdrawal in an unrelenting place: Prison. On Jan. 1, Illinois joined 18 other states and made it illegal to light up in virtually every public place statewide. The ban applies to bars, restaurants, offices, and even the state's 28 prisons. But unlike other public places, where smokers can step outside — at least 15 feet away from a building entrance, ventilation intake or an open window — inmates are out of luck..." response #1 by NanceGreggs: Oh, this is going to turn out well ... ... about as well as the spreading of democracy in the Middle East. response #10 by SoCalDem: The thought of that, might scare some people and keep them from committing a crime :evilgrin: It keeps me from flying... :) or taking a train :) response #33 by sfexpat2000: That's exactly what I thought. I can never break the law now in IL. So many places we have to stay out of -- bars, libraries, prison. lol response #29 by Philosoraptor: Let them smoke marijuana, it'll ease up on the irritability. On a thread by Judi Lynn: Giuliani seeks prayers "Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani kicked off a three-day campaign swing through Florida Sunday by asking churchgoers for their prayers. 'I'm not coming here to ask for your vote ... I'm asking you for your prayers,' the former New York mayor told a crowd of about 7,000 at a Hispanic evangelical church outside Miami, The Palm Beach Post reported. Speaking in English with a Spanish translator at El Rey Jesus Church, Giuliani told congregants to 'fear not, be strong and of good courage.' 'That is the way to provide real leadership. That's what I've strived to do all my life,' he said..." response #1 by Bicoastal: THIS JUST IN: Rudy Giuliani Realizes He Hasn't Got a Prayer... ...Film at 11. response #7 by Johnny Noshoes: No that should be film at 9:11 :evilgrin: response #8 by DeeDeeNY: Makes sense "Pray that nothing more surfaces about Bernie Kerik, or about how city funds were diverted so I could carry on an affair while Mayor of NYC. Pray that people don't learn about how the firefighters in NY hate me, or how their radios didn't work on 9/ll." Yes, there is a lot for people to pray for. response #10 by Liberal Veteran: You all misunderstand....he means it literally. He wants you to pray TO him. On a thread by elizm: ABC News picks up story of Hillary voter suppression tactics in Nevada.. response #8 by ronnykmarshall: That's kids stuff! Just wait until I unleash Chi-Chi. My robotic pterodactyl. All of us voter suppressing Clinton supporters have one. Chi-Chi swoops down upon identified Obama and Edwards supporters and flies off into the Nevada desert and drops them into a volcano. But you shan't worry, to avoid all that annoying screaming and thrashing around Chi-Chi provides in flight cocktails. Poll question by jgraz: Do you think Hillary rigged the Giants/Cowboys game? :bluebox: Yes :bluebox: No :bluebox: Let's wait until Kucinich looks at the replay response #3 by gateley: No but an unnamed source close to the campaign indicated her influence in Seahawks/Packers. I'll NEVER vote for her now! :hi: response #4 by IanDB1: Hillary bet on the Cowboys before she bet against them, but only because her bookie lied to her. She thought The Cowboys has an offense of mass destruction. GDP, January 13, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4056870 On a thread by Bennyboy: The SCRAPBOOK WORLD is awash in SCANDAL! "Kristina Contes was known in crafting circles for her avant-garde designs, celebrating Converse sneakers and her hairless terrier, Chloe. But with one mistake, her world turned on her..." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-scrapper12jan12,0,2864452,full.story response #10 by FloridaJudy: Next: the depraved underbelly ..of extreme quilting. "Cornered by the press in her squalid hideout, FloridaJudy confessed 'Yes, I fudged that appliqué - I used fray-check. But everybody deserves a second chance!'

Fred Thompson has it all. He has conservative cred. He has experience. He can communicate. He gives journalists the respect they deserve. But there's more.

Girls dig him. Now, that above assessment might bug you, but it's important, especially in the general election. Voters dig Alpha Males and so do certain bloggers. Can you imagine going for a beer with Romney, Huckabee, or Paul? No. How about Edwards, Clinton or Obama? Maybe Obama, but it'd be a martini or glass of wine, let's be real, here. Giuliani could have a good time at the bar, but aren't you just a little afraid he might go on a bender? Thompson would have a drink, talk sports, know the waitress's name and go home to his wife.

OP by The Straight Story: I liken our candidates to a fine smoke..... :) I don't see these as negatives btw, just a little fun. Feel free to re-write as you see fit :) Hillary is like a pack of smokes you buy at the store. Already rolled and packaged. Just open, light, and enjoy. Pre-made from a well oiled machine, and about $4 a pack here in CA ;) Obama is like roll your own smokes. You get the tobacco, the tubes w/filters, and a machine to roll your own. You have more control over how much tobacco to put in, the type, etc and runs only about a $1/pack. Not as organized or easy, but still satisfies and at a lower price. Edwards is like a cigar. Tightly rolled, all natural wrapper, and it takes a bigger flame to get him fully lit. A bit more expensive but also more aromatic. Comes in a smoky glass tube and does not seem to age much. DK - is like a bowl of pot. A few puffs of him, and you feel all giddy. But you can't buy him cause they don't want him on the market. Just thought a bit of levity was in order.
