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.
Congratulations PJ!!
BTW, a couple of nights ago my wife told me that if “Los Chistes” (as she calls the DUmmie FUnnies) doesn’t get named as a finalist that I should quit doing them. She hates that I spend so much time on the DUFUs. But now that I am a finalist, she is an ENTHUSIASTIC supporter!
BTW, for a very brief period in the 1980s I was the TOP satellite dish salesman in La-La Land. And the only reason I got to be top is that I sort of entered a state of temporary insanity. But as crazy as I was, I was never nearly as NUttie as my customers. This will all be serialized in "Confessions of a Satellite Dish Salesman" to be posted and updated daily on the vote thread.
You will see my metamorphsis from a shy humble salesman who was an utter failure to a complete MANIAC who made sale after sale until... Well, you have to read the serialized stories to find that out.
However, if you have ever seen the terrific movie, "Tin Men," you have a flavor of what it was like.
Did you nominate it for best Sports Blog? That’s the first step.
You'll see the biggest explosion of outrage in DUmmieville since the Hoaxmas Fiasco.
One of the competitors in the FUnniest Blog category is an extreme leftwing blog. Another reason to vote FOR the DUFUs.
Then again, I got HamNation's Soprano's DC Edition enough into the eye to vault that into the finals. Guess I'm just bad at self-promotion.
My suggestion is that you make a LOOOOONG post out of your nomination. That will draw the attention of the judges. It worked for the DUFUs.
You may get out the dead in NJ, but I am from Texas where the dead often voted three times. How do you think Lyndon Johnson got elected the first time?
Heh...
What’s the procedure, Url, etc. whatever we need to know.
Count me in!
Some of us have more than one computer.
Congrats, PJ!
So if Steve Wynn is out there, please comp me two plane tickets and a hotel room in Vegas should it look like a win for the DUmmie FUnnies. As future Emperorer of all the Humor Blogospheres, I assure you it will bring you BUKU business.
BTW, if any of you are for some strange reason unfamiliar with Steve Wynn you can thank him for making Las Vegas the incredible tourist destination it is today. In the 1980s Vegas was getting very seedy. Folks there said the glory years were behind them. However, Steve Wynn came in and completely resurrected Vegas to a level never even imagined before.
p.s. Would it be possible to locate vestal virgins in Las Vegas to be part of my coronation ceremony?
I’ll post the vote link URL when it goes up late tonight.
BTW, I appoint you precinct captain of the Rennaisance Portrayal folks to GOTV for the DUFUs.
Come to think of it, have you ever thought about doing Rennaisance portrayals in Las Vegas? They actually pay actors for such portrayals. Perhaps if I hear from Steve Wynn, I will mention this to him.
Congressman Billybob
I hope you win just to read the DUFU’s of the DUmmies whinning about your win!
