***** DUzy Nomination Thread *****

[center]

Welcome to the inaugural thread of the DUzy Awards 3.0!
[/center]

You might be wondering "Hey where are the DUzys?" or "Why is this post so short and not funny?"

In the past the DUzys worked by the heroic effort of one individual assembling a DUzy of a post from forwarded links to snark and pun. Well, that was way too much work for any individual, so we are going to try a new way.

Here is how it is going to work: When you see something that is DUzy worthy, then reply to this thread with a link to the set up or straight line (if there is one) and let us know the reply that is the DUzy.

Excerpts are encouraged and if it was enough to make you laugh, then be a good citizen and share it here.

The DUzys will only work with your participation, and doing it this way, there should be no DUzy withdrawal because they will be accessible 24/7.

I will rotate the thread probably every week, kind of on Sunday.

This thread is for DUzys. If you have ideas about ways to make them work better or funner then please use this thread for that commentary.

Enjoy,
-Hoot - Your DUzy facilitator.

I swear, some of the posters in the lounge could fill up the whole week's worth in just a day. I'm not good at submitting because I laugh at everything ... but good for you for doing this!

Which replies are the DUzys?

I think a link to the set up and a link to the DUzy would be a good format.

Then again I'm happy *someone* posted a nominee.

So the setup is http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023742092#post1
and http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3745403 is the DUzy.
