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.

If the DUFUs win, I just mind send Li’l Beaver and his loyal acolytes to a certain congressional district in North Carolina next year to camapain for a certain candidate. Hee! Hee!
BTW, if/WHEN the DUmmie FUnnies wins this award as FUnniest Blog, I predict you will become the most famous (non-ELCA) Lutheran pastor in the country. And I'm NOT kidding.
(Recommended sermon for this Sunday: Perseverence. Don't be discouraged by failure. Just keep persevering and eventually you will win.)

Just the whole flavor of the movie. What got to me wasn't the romantic shtick going on but the sales techniques that were used in selling aluminum siding. Some of the stuff they did like taking pictures of that house for the "Before" pics in Look magazine reminded me of the things we used to do to make a sale. It will all be revealed in my serialized story of "Confessions of a Satellite Dish Salesman."

Wonder if JimRob can put a hyperlink at the top of the page for next week? Easy to find and easy to Ping!
In that case, I'll just settle for vestals.
I'll be putting up a special vote thread that you can keep bumped. As an incentive for visiting that thread, I will be serializing my story: "Confessions of a Satellite Dish Salesman."
Congrats PJC, you truly deserve it.
The DUFU’s truly make my day when I can start with a great laugh.
You do the dirty work so that we don’t have to. Thanks for mingling among those crazies for us.
Let me know about the GOTV campaign and I will make sure I do my part.
See? Told you so!
Congratulations!
Congrats, PJ. I’m going to go update my blog for the first time in months.
You forgot to tell us where/how to vote? Where’s the site?
A much deserved recognition. I have access to 4 computers on different IPs. Get that link out — all four computers are going to vote daily.
Hmmm....maybe I can make that six computers.
Congrats, PJ! I have TWO computers, which will allow me to place TWO votes per day. Double the fun! Good luck...
Look, PJ, our favorite drug-addled moonbat has replied to my posts on YouTube (under the “I weep” video)...

Name one conservative that acts like you and provide examples.

I’m not impersonating any one of them. I look at what wingers do, and I see that they shout, scream, freak out, jump around, and say crazy things. I’m doing a liberal version of that.
Also, I’ve updated my blog...

Congrats, P-J -- you deserve it!
If memory serves, it's a combination of IP address checking and cookie (or Flash equivalent) checking. Plan accordingly.
PJ, Congratulations. My three dogs have registered to vote for you. From different computers of course!
