Okay, I didn't post a DUFU edition today because I was NERVOUSLY awaiting the announcement of finalists in the humor category of the 2006 Weblog Awards. I just found out a few minutes ago that the DUmmie FUnnies did not make the final cut. I am completely bummed out at this point because I thought I had an EXCELLENT chance of winning the award (with Freeper support) IF I had been a finalist.
Maybe I should have said I WAS completely bummed out. Right now I am slowly recuperating with a germ of an idea developing in my head about making lemonade from lemons.
Next November there is a first ever BlogWorld CONVENTION in Las Vegas. A lot of stuff sounds to be a bit on the corporate technical side which is fine but I think many folks out there might have the wrong idea about Blogging as some sort of super hi-tech activity. In fact, Blogging is a very INFORMAL activity. Normally I, and many other bloggers, blog clad only in a T-shirt and underpants.
So that is what I want to do. I would like to put myself on exhibit behind a glass booth at that convention like a zoo animal clad only in my T-shirt and underpants while fortified with constantly flowing coffee. I definitely intend to make the Blogger "zoo animal" very entertaining.
So I didn't get into the finals of the Weblog Awards but I now definitely want to go to that BlogWorld convention as a Blogger Zoo Exhibit. Do any of my many PINGEES out there have a conndection with BlogWorld? If so, please pass this idea along to them. Thanx.
Okay, I'm STILL bummed out but feeling slightly better now.... Only slightly.
Absolutely. Plus when AM eases into PM I will have a set of gigantic Margaritas heavily fortified with the finest of blue agave.
Tome el gusano!
Just remember, it all depends on the judges. Judges there are all volunteers so if anybody on the DUFU PING list wants to volunteer to be a judge there on the next go around, be my guest. I already posted that if I win in 2007, I want to be publicly coronated at their Las Vegas Weblog Awards ceremonies in Las Vegas as the Emperor Of All The Blogospheres. Vestal virgins are in short supply in Las Vegas so I would have to settle for mere vestals to sing out the tribulations.
I had a GOTV plan mapped out that included Freepers but also other members of the Blogosphere. Anyway, I have about 9 months to improve my plan. The next awards will occur about 2 months earlier than this year because the ceremonies will be taking place in Las Vegas in early November.
Remember to answer the call for being volunteer judges at the 2007 Weblog Awards. Since the ceremonies will be taking place in Las Vegas maybe you can score yourself some big vacation discount there. I don't want to influence your votes for finalists but I hope you all keep a certain humor blog in mind when making your choices.
I just found out a few minutes ago that the DUmmie FUnnies did not make the final cut.Did DU itself make it? Or are only sites that are intentionally funny elgible.

WAAAAAAAY too much information, PJ.
And a catheter?

I'll bet you haven't even so much as touched that snappy new spring ensemble I bought you last year for your birthday, have you?
Well? HAVE you -- ?!?
Ungrateful slut.
:)
Before you go to Las Vegas, remind me. Our son runs one of the top rated sports bar/restaurants in the valley. I'll give you the name & directions.
One question - boxers or briefs?!?!?
And you blog attired in tuxedo and spats? I actually did attempt blogging once in bermuda shorts but even that felt too constraining. T-shirt and underpants are the only way to go. BTW, I have two styles of boxer trunk underpants. One with the slit in front and the other with a buttoned up slit in front. I will be choosing the latter for Las Vegas for modesty reasons. Even I have a sense of shame in those matters. OTOH, it doesn't bother my dad a bit if strangers see him nekkid. I even wrote a short story about that.
BOXERS!!! To me briefs are nothing but flimsy bikinis. They should NEVER be worn by anybody of the male gender.
WOW! If she shows up at the BlogWorld Convention in Vegas, I better make sure my boxer trunk slit buttons are made of reinforced steel to prevent any embarrassing schwing alerts.
Okay, but are the patrons prepared to grovel before me if I am coronated as the Emperor Of All The Humor Blogospheres?
Being a sports bar in Vegas I'm sure they're good at groveling :>!
PJ - I too was shut out of the 2006 weblog awards. I am surprised that DU funnies missed the cut - what a loss. I think you should start an award for those of us shunned by the weblog awards.
I'm sorry PJ. Were we voting this year? I remember voting a long time ago, but it could have been last year.
PJ, you would probably be even MORE entertaining if you were drinking constantly-flowing Flor de Cana (is that the stuff?) rather than coffee.
