The DUzies return this Friday!

[The DUzy Awards]

Hello everybody, this is DUer krispos42!

I'm happy to announce that I convinced the Admins that the DUzies were going to be a vital necessity for DU for the upcoming election season. And with the launch of DU3, I even bribed them into setting up a DUzies-only account so that, no matter who does the awards in the future, the DUzies will remain in a central repository of humor forever!

I don't know why the Admins wanted a shaven llama, and quite frankly I don't want to know. At least I was able to use some of the connections I made during my time in Minnesota.

You would think central Minnesota would be a bit too flat for llamas... and you'd be wrong.






Anyway, naturally the DUzies need NOMINATIONS the way John Boehner needs kleenex.

SO, if you see a post that makes you LOL, DU-mail it to The DUzy Awards!

Copy-and-paste the post in you'd like to nominate into a DU-mail. Don't forget to include the author, post #, and text, PLUS the address of the thread it's in, so I can find the darn thing.


It should look like this random post from the Humor Group.

None. They just blame the Democrats for having blown the bulb.

Thanks for your kicks and recs (ahem!) so that the word gets out.


Warmest regards for my DU brethren,

Krispos42

[krispos42]

1. Bookmark, kick, and rec

So I can find this thing easily.

[boston bean]

43. how do you bookmark this? nt

[krispos42]

50. By posting in the thread.

I presume at some point the Admins will re-introduce regular DU bookmarks.


Hopefully...

[boston bean]

52. ooh, then I guess I just did it!

[alterfurz]

53. done

and thanks, krispos42!

[dixiegrrrrl]

3. It's an early Christmas this year!

Thank you, krispos42. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[krispos42]

11. I'll do my damndest.

This should be an interesting experience.

I anticipate lots of quality time spend with Word or Open Office.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

26. I did my my damndest once

It wasn't all it's cracked up to be. The ointment bills alone were enough to let me know I'd made a BIG mistake.

Good luck with the NUzy DUzy thing.

[Vanje]

4. Kix! nt

[The Magistrate]

5. Good For You, Sir!

The DUzies were always a bright spot, and have been missed.

[MrMickeysMom]

6. Oh boy!

[The Straight Story]

7. Awesome, I just posted about this today in the meta forum

If you need some help let me know!

[krispos42]

17. I'll let you know

I have only a vague idea of how hard this will be.


I think I'll set up a few macros in Word, then do a lot of copy-and-pasting.


Shouldn't be too bad... if people nominate things in an easy-to-follow fashion!

[The Straight Story]

18. The big thing is sorting, my idea was:

Have a DUzy button (like an Alert but a vote) and each week take the top 50 votes and auto import them into a template and post it.

[krispos42]

20. Mmmm... good idea...

...for the Admins!

Maybe if I give Elad another llama...


I suspect I'll have to get a spreadsheet involved somehow to keep duplicates from appearing.



We'll, we'll see.

[HillWilliam]

8. Awe.sommmmmmmmmmme!

Happydance k/r!

Thanks for being will do to the work on this, it is MUCH appreciated!

[Bobbie Jo]

More. Humor. Please.

Outstanding! Thank you!

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. Thank You for this vital public service

this community-building function. This dangerous opportunity to examine my inner ham.

Uh-oh.

[uppityperson]

15. thank you and YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pinboy3niner]

16. OK. n/t

[Odin2005]

You've made a happy man very old.

[pacalo]

22. K&R.

[Lugnut]

23. Really?

Don't toy with me. I love the DUZY awards!

[krispos42]

25. Really.

They didn't set up the account and give me access just for giggles.



No, I had to give them shaved llamas.

And it's not fun shaving llamas. They spit, and it's NASTY.



Do you have any concept of the number of Gillette Mach 3 razor blades it takes to shave a llama???

[Fire Walk With Me]

30. Your sacrifice shall not go unrewarded!

[pinboy3niner]

35. A memorial shall be dedicated iln the name of krispos42

May his sacrifice never be forgotten!

[Fire Walk With Me]

61. Know any sculptists who rock at shaved Llamas?

[Lugnut]

57. Cool!

[dixiegrrrrl]

70. Will they, by any chance, take ready to stuff armadillos instead?

We have lots of them here.

I could Fed Ex some to ya for bartering purposes only.
Shipping box would be pretty small, I should think.

[beac]

103. Nice that the DUzys are back but you might want to be aware that

"RALPH" The Wonder Llama has reported you to UNgulate Commission on Resumin' Rights.

Strange wit-man lying in ponds distributing awards is no basis for a system of amusement! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical llamatic ceremony!

[krispos42]

105. 143 recs

Game, set, mandate.


*cackles evilly*

[beac]

111. All my Pythonesque faux protestations aside,

I applaude you for taking on the DUzys and returning them to their rightful place here on DU3. Gawd knows the upcoming elections will be a target-rich environment for humor of all sorts.

[Ikonoklast]

24. DIE YUPPIE SCUM!

Oh, sorry, wrong Forum, I was looking for Cooking and Baking, and uh...carry on.

[pinboy3niner]

27. Funny...Yuppie Scum is currently the top recipe in Cooking and Baking

[Ikonoklast]

109. It's getting so difficult to find fresh Yuppie anymore.

Seems like the most recent Yuppies are now well into their forties, and let me tell you, they don't age very well.

When you are grating them for a recipe they tend to be tough and leathery from too many hours in the tanning bed.

[Brother Buzz]

29. This is grand, but I'm slow on the uptake

Just how do I go about posting mail to "The DUzy Awards!"?



AH! I get it, I chase down DUer, The DUzy Awards!, and send a note. I told you I was slow on the uptake.

[pinboy3niner]

31. Threw me for a second, too, but...

Note that "The DUzy Awards" is a member, who may be PM'd. Check the profile on the OP "author."

[Brother Buzz]

34. I'm not as think as you dumb I am

I figured it out by myself and chased down the skinny while you were posting me. I'm just slow on the uptake so stop saying that.



Thanks

[pinboy3niner]

37. :)

I may have been slower. I'll admit that it threw me for more than a second. But that's all you'll get outta me.

I WON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD WITHOUT MY LAWYER!



Kick for the DUzys!

[Adsos Letter]

32. YAY!!!

[Mira]

51. Hate mailbag is back?

Oooo!

[pmorlan1]

66. hate mail?

What is hate mail?

[krispos42]

78. One of the Admins used to do a weekly features...

...or maybe it was monthly, of the hate email that the Admins would receive.

Examples:

[dixiegrrrrl]

72. Where is hate mail????? Hot damn....furniture is getting put back in place at a good clip!

[GoCubsGo]

49. Double good news!

I loved the DUzys, and am thrilled that they're back. And, I had no idea there was a "Humor" group. Thanks for pointing that out!

[WilliamPitt]

54. Sweet!

[Hutzpa]

55. Wonderful

about time to bring back a bit of humor to our insanity.

You got it krispos42 and I'm so glad it will have its own name.

[barbtries]

56. i want the top 10 idiots

back.

[zbdent]

91. You want the LIST of top 10 idiots back ...

I'd rather have the idiots themselves banished to some alternate reality ...

[cbayer]

58. You are the best, krispos!!!

[hifiguy]

59. Excellent news!

The DUzys were always a highlight!

[rocktivity]

97. DING DING DING! Hifiguy, you're our grand prize winner!

Sure, they were good for a laugh. But the DUzys also served an important purpose for me -- it was a great way to find the worthwhile threads I overlooked during the week.

84. I was just thinking of the Duzies;

Does this count as a MIRACLE?

[nadinbrzezinski]

85. They only asked for llamas?

Must be the side sweater business.

[krispos42]

106. SHAVEN llamas

I felt it best not to ask. Elad had an expresso in each hand and a fanatical, desperate gleam in his eye that said I was better off not knowing.

[ThoughtCriminal]

86. Now if can get Top 10 Conservative Idiots back

2012 will be a target rich environment.



In the Future, Everything will be Retro!

[krispos42]

104. I think the Admins are snorting coffee grounds just to keep awake and work on DU3.

[blaze]

87. Woohoo!!!! nt

[Arugula Latte]

88. I feel like life will once again be worth living!

[scarletwoman]

89. You must be totally nuts.

Or a major masochist.

Every time someone has tried to revive the DUzys, they end up crawling away in short order, beaten, broken, and sobbing with exhaustion. Some have to be committed for a time, in a quiet place where they can gibber incoherently and drool in peace.

But you starry-eyed idealists never learn, do you. So I wish you good fortune.

You've been warned.
