We need an opposite DUzy awards--- you know--- for those with no sense of humor.

[trumad]

My God--- there use to be a time where you can poke a little fun on DU at a politician like Dennis or Hillary, etc. Now you try it and heads explode.

[Ian David]

1. Not a good time to say "explode" and "Hillary" in the same sentence.

:P

[Flabbergasted]

31. Is that supposed to be a fucking joke!!!!

:evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

51. I think you're onto something... or maybe she is...

:hide:

[KamaAina]

40. Oh, puh-LEEZE!

They're not IN the same sentence. The first sentence ended with "etc."

:P :P

edit: smilies

[Deja Q]

50. That sounds orgasmic.

:hide:

[HughMoran]

75. Now that's funny

:P

[XemaSab]

2. Great idea, Stalin.

:eyes:

[11 Bravo]

29. Huh?

[LSK]

46. Nice post Hitler

:rofl:

[K8-EEE]

78. Thanks, Franco!

Hey where's Pinochet? Or BUSH?? LOL....

[burythehatchet]

47. quit Stallin' and get to the point

[NYCGirl]

3. There'd be FAR TOO MANY candidates. NT

[Bicoastal]

4. ARE YOU CALLING DENNIS SHORT?!?!1?!1!

Watch it, buddy...

[Kurovski]

18. Just a little bit.

For a tiny allotment of time.

[H2O Man]

5. I find this insulting.

The OP bothers me for several reasons. It bugs me for several more reasons. I'm not sure what any of them are, but that does not dampen my outrage.

[Kurovski]

37. I'm moved to reinforce your outrage with my own disgust over this thread.

Your emotional confusion is all the justification I need.

[book_worm]

6. Oh come on! Your thread on Dennis is getting all kinds of recommendations

but few of those recommending it are identifying themselves. If they think it is such harmless fun why don't they say it out loud?

[MadBadger]

7. I recommended and I identified myself.

[book_worm]

16. one out of ten ain't bad.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

79. Ha! Your were in my top tier of nominees for this proposed award!

:-) MKJ

[Amerigo Vespucci]

8. I propose the "La vostra testa è nel vostro asino" Awards.

I have several people I would like to nominate. They know who they are. They definitely have no sense of humor and have a sense of self-importance and self-righteousness that is mind-boggling.

:evilgrin:

[MadBadger]

9. The DUDzy awards?

call there all a bunch of humorless duds?

[NYCGirl]

13. Bravo! Very good! NT

[MadBadger]

19. Changed it to Capitalize to DUD, looks better imho.

[kimmerspixelated]

10. Or for those that continually nitpick every

little friggin thing!

[stellanoir]

11. that would take all the sport out of finding stuff to nominate.

no fun whatsoever

[BurtWorm]

12. The WU-zys? DU-dys?

:shrug:

[madokie]

17. I vote for the WU-zys

[Kurovski]

22. POOH-zys?

[madokie]

33. if you're meaning pooh like in pooh then count me in too

you know that stuff you sure hate to step in, uh ha I thought we were on the same page ;-)

[Kurovski]

41. As in "pooh-poohing" something.

The "pooh" you're thinking of is spelled s-h-i-t. :-)

[madokie]

45. Ah yes

[Bicoastal]

24. How about the DUds?

Short, simple, to the point.

[Flabbergasted]

43. Yep that's it. Insulting but funny. Damn you. nt

[lonestarnot]

64. I'd like to be the first to recommend myself for a DUd-zee.

Thank you. :applause:

[berni_mccoy]

14. LUzy awards... Lack of Understanding.

[Kurovski]

15. I don't care what the award is for.

I want one. Here's my first submission:

"It's sad that you have so much time to spend on something like this when everyone in the world is so...sad."

[TZ]

28. Hey...begging for an award......even of dubious distinction...

is in very POOR taste. Whereas I DESERVE one as my nickname is Suzy--come on a DUZY for Suzy....:rofl:

[Kurovski]

34. And the world's sadness deepens.

Because of...you.

[TZ]

20. there are many "sacred cows" on DU

That even posts made in jest on these subjects seem to draw ire.
Some of the ones I have noticed:1) Any critcism of Kucinich
2) Any praise AT ALL of Hillary Clinton
3) The idea that a democratic representative can vote occasionally different from what liberals like and still be a good representative

[MadBadger]

23. Dont forget Al Gore

especially his weight. I remember Jon Stewart getting slammed because he made fun of Al Gore. It was hilarious, except to those who take things too seriously.

[Kurovski]

39. That isn't fair.

Gore had to take a job in quality control for Little Debbie.

[MadBadger]

42. Dennis Kucinich is very busy at this time of year

Cant expect Santa to do everything by himself.

25. The Freepie Award?

For those most likely to be mistaken for lurking Freepers?

[MadBadger]

26. Thats an entirely different ward.

[NC_Nurse]

30. How can you suggest such shallow things when people are DYING!

;-)

[redqueen]

32. Or maybe you're just not as funny as you think you are.

:think:

[sniffa]

49. ..

:thumbsup:

:loveya:

[AlCzervik]

54. seconded.

[Buzz Clik]

57. Well, now, let's not get too harsh.

Trumad wasn't making a pitch to get a DUzy, he was simply asking that folks not bust each others chops when one person is trying to be funny but others aren't feeling ticklish.

[AlCzervik]

58. huh? Could you read a little more into one word?

[Buzz Clik]

61. Absolutely.

When, in the course of bulletin board discourse, a person makes a simple request, others will be quick to take offense, even when no offense is intended. It's clear to me that you, being a back-stabbing, insecure, dirt eating shithead, immediately took offense at this innocent remark. In one single word, you leaped into the fray, looking to blindside poor, defenseless Trumad. And, being a cowardly type, you pressed your blade deep into his heart and, no doubt, you are dancing on his dying body.

How's that?*











*(although it's against my better judgment and contrary to every fiber of my being, I am in no mood to be the recipient of yet another "alert" barrage. So, please accept the fact that I am being totally sarcastic.)

[AlCzervik]

63. Wow!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

even if you're being sincere and for all i know you might just that was still fucking hilarious.

[morningglory]

68. Buzz, you are the best and funniest so far!

[tammywammy]

35. How dare you suggest humor at this perilous time

Don't you realize we're stuck in a fascist society with Bush at the helm!!!!

[MGKrebs]

36. Such concentrated lameness would surely clog the tubes.

Then we'd have to have some DUrano to fix it.

[gateley]

38. The FUzys nt

EDIT: Misspelled my own made-up word.

[Kurovski]

76. FUTzys?

PUTZys?

[lame54]

81. how about The LOSEy's or the DELUSey's

[Contrary1]

44. Or the DUHzy n/t

[Sugar Smack]

48. Are you saying I'm literal-minded? Huh? Well, your mamma drinks TAP WATER.

:nuke:

[AlCzervik]

52. "Liberal utopians with no sense of humor" award. Thank you Mark Maron.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

53. The Douche-zys.

The award itself can be a coupon for Olive Garden.

[Buzz Clik]

55. DUchies. I like it.

Can I nominate you?

:evilgrin:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

56. I'd have to decline.

It's an award for the humorless, so I'd be dangerously unqualified.

[Buzz Clik]

59. "If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve."

If the DUchies ever come to pass, I'm guessing that few will actually revel in the award.

[lame54]

82. pass the DUchie from the left hand side

[Generator]

60. Are you saying Hillary's supporters have no sense of humor?

Damn that is funny. :party: :beer: :headbang:

[Buzz Clik]

62. Are you suggesting that Hillary wears a supporter?

That's so ... so ... so typical of a Hillary Hater.

It's Hillary's bras that have no sense of humor, but she burned all of them in 1968.

[lonestarnot]

66. No, saying he doesn't support HER.

[lonestarnot]

65. I love this thread!

[Initech]

67. The "No :sarcasm: needed:" award

[Kurovski]

69. Now we see what happens when the DUzies get posted late.

Rampant speculation on DU's needs.

It's JeffR's fault.

[MGKrebs]

70. Isn't that blaming the lack of a messenger?

[Kurovski]

74. Young man, you seem to think that this is a laughing matter.

Smartness and sarcasm have their place. In bar rooms amoungst hopeless alcoholics perhaps, and institutions for the criminally insane, but not here where we are about the business of solving all the worlds problems.

[MilesColtrane]

71. I'd like to debut my first submission for a SPEWzy award.

Any Democrat who doesn't support immediate impeachment of Bush and Cheney is worse than Jeffrey Dahmer.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

72. What would call them?

DUmpies? :shrug:

[SoCalDem]

73. That would be YZud.. n/t
