can we have a DIzzy as a counterpart to the DUzies?

[geek tragedy]

Difference being that DIzzy would be for the dumbest thing said on Discussionist on a periodic basis?

Here's my first nomination (note: this post was in response to a " female privilege checklist" started by some misogynist asshole there):

The one about remaining seated really chaps me.

I'm on a strictly controlled diet and must monitor my caloric intake. An unexpected expenditure of energy, like being required to rise to meet someone, can throw off my balances for the whole day.

I'll bet that is something feminists never think about.

[shenmue]

1. Wow

[NutmegYankee]

2. As long as it was about Discussionist...

I guess it couldn't be considered META. Why not? You should ask in ATA.

[William769]

3. Is there enough space on the internets to place it?

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. OMFG

just say yes's Profile
Profile information

I've been unfairly muzzled and I need the pubic's help. Please advocate on my behalf to get me reinstated before August. There's a free Sham-Wow in it for you...

25. ROFLMGAO!!!!!!!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. She really does have a high opinion of herself!

[William769]

28. I should dedicate this to her over there.

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. You should!

Haven't seen anyone rushing to her defense yet. Guess the rules don't apply to her.

[NuclearDem]

30. Now THAT'S funny.

[greatauntoftriplets]

34. I'm splitting my sides here!

Seriously, though, I'm surprised she lasted two weeks before getting a time out.

[geek tragedy]

38. .

[greatauntoftriplets]

39. Such a prize!

Doubt she'll get many takers with that as the reward.

[awoke_in_2003]

45. I prefer the Slap Chop...

"You're going to love my nuts"

[msanthrope]

54. The "pubic's" help......holy shit....that's right up there with "I'm series." nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

62. Yeah. Interesting typo.

[msanthrope]

63. It made me groin. nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

64. ....

[Aerows]

69. My cockles were dewarmed

it was a hairy thing.

[In_The_Wind]

59. I'll bet I can guess her location with only one try.

[greatauntoftriplets]

65. But it's Cook County, not Crook.

Crook is a right-wing thing.

[In_The_Wind]

66. Ha! I was thinking about her current location ...

[greatauntoftriplets]

67. LOL, that's very true!

[Jamastiene]

73. ...

[Warren DeMontague]

4. The DIck, that's my vote for the name.

But i think a certain repeatedly banned troll is going to run away with all awards.

[geek tragedy]

5. I dunno, LG was a big fish in a small pond of idiots here.

Man, the competition is intense there.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. One difference is, here she usually doesn't have time to expound extensively on her... theories.

I gotta say, damn.

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. She started a sockpuppet account.

http://www.discussionist.com/?com=profile&uid=101590

Used that username a month or so ago when I was on MIRT.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. Could you then say that she's been dicked?

[In_The_Wind]

60. !!!

[johnp3907]

6. Good idea!

But this comment doesn't qualify for your proposed award, because he's right; I never HAVE thought about that. Furthermore I never will.

[geek tragedy]

7. "I had those sugar-free gummy bears. Now i have terrible gas.

I'll bet that is something feminists never think about."

[Sweet Freedom]

55. Maybe we need a knew thread titled

"I'll bet that is something feminists never think about."

[geek tragedy]

56. it could be a meme nt

[bluesbassman]

8. Guess I have a completely different idea of why Discussionist exists.

Can't really see how bringing the drama back to DU in any form makes DU a better place. That's just me though.

[geek tragedy]

9. It's not drama, it's comedy.

I don't see how anyone can take that place seriously.

[bluesbassman]

18. Interesting. So misogynistic assholery is "comedy" elsewhere on the net.

Thanks for the clarification.

[geek tragedy]

22. Mockery is the most effective means

of marginalization.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. I think there's an element of some folks putting people on over there.

I don't think all the opinions expressed are straight up for real.

I could be wrong, but....

[geek tragedy]

53. there's an Abraham Lincoln quote that comes to mind. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

57. "Honey, where's my tall fuckin' hat?"

[geek tragedy]

61. "The thing about quotes on the Internet is that

you can't confirm their validity."

[antiquie]

13. R'amen

[Aerows]

10. I'm pretty certain that the poster

that asserted that when Anderson Cooper held up a drawing done by a child of an owl (it was yellow and pink) that he was demonstrating satanic symbols - wins that particular prize. Apparently, owls are satanic, and a child's drawing of a cartoon yellow and pick owl = satan.

As if that wasn't weird enough, others AGREED.

I guess that week when the Great Horned Owl kept visiting at night and I hooted at it (because it was freaking hilarious in my opinion when it vociferously hooted back at me) I'm a satanist, too.

I was completely unaware that liking owls and children's drawings of owls were satanic material on the level of sacrificing goats.

[geek tragedy]

12. Satanic owls. I'll bet that is something feminists never think about. nt

[Aerows]

14. Yep

I got blindsided by my feminist leanings in failing to realize that owls are satanic.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. They're big at the Bohemian Grove

or so my friends in the Underwater Pyramid tell me.

[geek tragedy]

23. Lizard people there ? nt

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Indigo Fish folk

they're friends with the star folks, who Nasa tried to bomb on the moon.

[msanthrope]

68. Nah...it's raccoons that are the devil's handmaidens.

[Aerows]

70. Owl debate you

on that one

[msanthrope]

71. Rabies not? But if you insist, I'll take a shot. nt

[Aerows]

72. Savage my post all that you like

but in the end, there is bite to it!

[msanthrope]

74. Indeed...you hit between the toes. mt

[Aerows]

75. I have to fan myself

The feathers will wind the body.

[seabeyond]

11. Well he is right. I nevAh think if that. Bummer. Nt

[LisaLynne]

41. I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to not be thinking about ...

[seabeyond]

43. lol lol. when was the last time you had a man stand, when you entered a room? that this....

is what has him thinkin;. wow. lol

[LisaLynne]

44. This is why I can't go to that site.

I would spend all my time just trying to figure out what people were saying! By the time I did that, it would be time to go to bed.

[madinmaryland]

16. Can we keep that shit out of here. Occasionally we have something that is really

fucking stupid said over at freeperland, but we don't need to fixate on them, like the morans over at cc.

[FSogol]

20. Completely agree. The Discussionist BS belongs in the cesspit over there.

No need to track it around on our carpets.

[Hekate]

17. DIzzy!

God give me strength.

[hlthe2b]

26. DUzy's are funny.... DIzzy's are just dumb--> insane

[Brother Buzz]

31. Sounds like that dude needs some Butt Paste®

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=620161

[gollygee]

36. ROFL

but if you ever have a baby (or grandbaby or whatever) that is the best diaper cream EVER.

[geek tragedy]

37. .

[Brother Buzz]

40. Then there's Chapeau Chamois Cream for decerning asshats

[geek tragedy]

42. there's an online store of these products waiting to happen nt

[TeeYiYi]

35. I can't say...

...that I agree with monitoring Discussionist for a new award category; however, you 'dun' found a winner with that offering. Wow. Just, wow.

TYY

[cherokeeprogressive]

46. People really should learn to separate the two sites.

[geek tragedy]

47. hey, I wish we could rapture a bunch of people over there

that effectively is what's happened already with all the banned winguts, racists and misogynists over there right now

should just complete the process

until then, there's a lot of comedy gold over there

[cherokeeprogressive]

48. In reality I think Discussionist was intended to be nothing more than a cash cow.

Pretty good idea actually, if you're in the business of websites for money. Open the gates to everyone, give a small ambiguous admonition to "be civil!" and let them have at it.

Money per click.

I wish I'd have thought of it...

[geek tragedy]

50. I dunno, Yahoo has a similar set up in their comments and they're not making money nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

51. You can bet your bottom dollar the Big Three are making money on this. n/t

[greatauntoftriplets]

49. I only read it for laughs...

Maybe that's what Admin was thinking?

[Ms. Toad]

58. Actually, two of the three admins post very regularly over there

at least, if not more, regularly than they actually participate in discussions here. 69 posts, 75 posts, and 5 posts since it opened 2 weeks ago, very little of it related to administrative duties.
