THE DREAM HAS COME TRUE!!! THE DREAM HAS COME TRUE!!! After three years of effort, the DUmmie FUnnies has finally been named as a FINALIST in the 2007 Weblog Awards!!! WOO! HOO!
Okay, I've had three years to think about this and I now have a GAME PLAN for the DUmmie FUnnies to WIN the contest for FUnniest Blog... Starting late tonight and for a week following there will be the CRUCIAL voting period. You can vote once per day but NOT more often since the Weblog Awards have software to detect more than one vote per day from the same computer which would automatically cancel the votes out. So ONLY one vote per day from each loyal DUFU acolyte.
However, each of you can act as precinct captains to get out the vote. All of us have a circle of friends, family, co-workers, and online blogger associates. Therefore I urge each of my DUFU precinct captains to work the "precincts" and bring out the vote. I will have information at the top of this blog in all future DUFU editions that provide links for easy voting. It only takes about two seconds or less to vote.
And now for your motivation in making sure the DUmmie FUnnies WIN as the FUnniest Blog. I could tell you that it would bring instant fame complete with tons of groupies for Li'l Beaver and myself but that isn't quite motivating enough from your POV. Also a WIN in the 2007 Weblog Awards would make it much easier for me to pitch a DUFU book (with CD-ROM insert) to Mary Matalin who has yet to answer my pathetically pleading e-mails. Again, great for Ol' PJ but what do YOU get out of it?
Okay, here is the MOTIVATION that will cause you to hit the VOTE button so hard daily for the next week that you might sprain your fingers. It is this---A WIN for the DUmmie FUnnies would cause such instant ANGST among the DUmmies (and KOmmies) in particular and the Leftwing Blogosphere in general that you will be able to savor some incredibly intense Schadenfreude (not to be confused with Freudenschade). Think about it. The Leftwing Blogosphere will feel instantly miserable knowing that a blog dedicated to laughing at and mocking their many foibles has WON the 2007 Weblog Awards as the FUnniest Blog. Also Pied Piper Pitt would be forced to hit Bukowski's for his heaviest drinking binge ever. A WIN for the DUmmie FUnnies gives this blog tremendous PR leverage with the media to focus the light on the Loony Left which I don't need to remind you is especially important with an election year coming up.
Okay, enough with my blabbering. Let me close out here with THANKING each and every one of my loyal DUmmie FUnnies acolytes for your terrific support over the years.
And tonight we go on to the voting phase to last one week so please prepare yourselves and your friends!!!
Precinct Captains! Move your troops to the border! The invasion of the Blogosphere under the command of General Li'l Beaver commences tonight!!!
p.s. Tell your friends they can easily access the DUmmie FUnnies merely by typing "DUmmieFUnnies.Com" in the URL box.
As a SPECIAL BONUS for the FR readers, I will post a DUFU voting thread here later. In order to make it interesting to return again and again to that voting thread, I will post daily serialized short stories called "Confessions of a Satellite Dish Salesman" about my BIZARRE experiences selling satellite dishes in La-La Land. If you have already seen the movie, "Tin Men," that would give you some idea and flavor of what selling big ticket items is like. Please keep that vote thread bumped when it appears.
This contest won't be easy to win but, with your support, I believe it can be done. Thanx in advance for your help.
PING!
PING!
CONGRATS! Now the fun begins...
I'll get the dead out for you here on the Jersey Shore.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
And thank you for your participation in the many DUFU threads. Don’t forget to GOTV. If you post in other forums, you can provide the link to the DUFUs or a direct link to the voting. The DUFUs will all have the voting link at the top when the voting commences late tonight.
This is just great, PJ.
Don't forget Jimmy Hoffa. I'll need his vote too.
Congrats PJ!
I can do that...
Ah, we knew you when PJ! Congrats!
Congratulations, Big Time!
Ping me when you get the DUFU links set. I’ll add links to it to my daily AFIRE! ping, plus set up an automatic link in my posts.
Thanx. BTW, anybody can access the DUmmie FUnnies merely by typing “dummiefunnies.com” in the URL box since I have something set up to redirect to my Blogspot blog. Much easier to remember but, of course, if you provide links, they need only click the link.
I’ll try to help, congrats!
Woo Hoo!
Go PJ!
There are three other blogs that will give me a lot of competition in terms of votes. However, if we can get a SURGE early in the vote department we can get a good lead on them.
That’s what I want to do, set up a link line in my ping plus my posts. It’ll be automatic text I can copy/past into any post.
Will this be a static thread or a dynamic series of threads? I’d prefer a link to a static thread so I can just copy/past it when I do my daily ping. Or, how ‘bout this; A small icon of ‘Lil Beaver that’s the link, with a note adjacent to it reminding everyone to click to vote?
Congratulations PJ. Count on all your pingees to give this the 110% effort.
You’ve been here keeping us laughing our asses off for years and we are forever grateful.
Thanx. And not to work on the first installment of “Confessions of a Satellite Dish Salesman.” I was thinking of starting to write this a few days ago but I was too superstitious to attempt that until the DUFUs was actually named as a finalist.
