I think I know why GD gets the lion's share of the DUzies
A thread has to be recommended for a DUzy, and since humor is a relative rarity in GD, when it does rear its funny head, GDers think, "OMG! DUzy!"

OTOH, the Lounge Weird Undead take humor for granted. It's what we DO. We don't NEED no steenkin' awards.

2. Yes, it's true
but then, I think it should be that way. It hopefully encourages effort to be funny and nice to each other.

Then again, I've won 17 of them, so what do I know :)

3. Good point
And one that I shall jump behind, though not too quickly because weird undead don't move very fast.

4. That Lounge Weird Undead post made my day.
This person must spend some time reading our posts to know so much about them.

I still don't understand what he meant by undead.

5. I've noticed a lot of the posters in GD have little or no sense of Satire...
...and (sometimes) not a good sense of humor either..

7. That's because
they recognize satire as a thin veil used by bigots, etc. to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
