*** DUzy Awards for week ending December 26, 2008 *** (complied by JeffR)

[orleans]

i did one of those google searches for duzy awards and found the one for dec. 26 2008.

so i was reading it and (perhaps it's the lateness of the hour) but i was laughing out loud at some of the winners. then i found the cheerleading post from the lounge and i was laughing my ass off. i was hysterical reading the post by rabrrrrrr.

JeffR would post the awards in GD -- so i figured this was a good place to put it.

i always loved seeing these & reading these, and i know so many others did too.
there are more at the link for this week, check them out.

so here's to absent friends and family at du

i'm so glad you were a part of my life

OP by philboy:

I failed cheerleading school.
They did not like the cheers that I created.

MAKE THE OTHER TEAM RELINQUISH THE BALL!

TRY YOUR VERY BEST TO GET A FIRST DOWN! DO YOUR BEST TEAM!

HIT THE OTHER GUY WITH FORCE!

CATCH THE BALL AND RUN OVER THE LINE WITH IT!

response #4 by DuStrange:

Join the club.
My cheers were frowned upon as well.

GET A FUCKING TOUCHDOWN, YOU ASSWIPES!
SHOVE THAT BALL UP THEIR POOPHOLE!
DON'T RUN A 5-YARD PATTERN ON 3RD-AND-8! AW, C'MON FUCKING COACH!

They did not appreciate my school spirit. Or those tight shorts I wore.

response #5 by datasuspect:

FUCK TO YOU THE ENEMY TEAM
WE WILL VANQUISH YOU
WE WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE STALIN

response #8 by DuStrange:

WE WILL LOFT THE HEAD OF THE OPPOSING COACH UPON OUR STAFF OF VICTORY.
AND SLAKE OUR THIRST ON THE OPPOSING TEAM'S BLOOD AND GATORADE!

response #10 by datasuspect:

THE ENEMY TEAM WILL BECOME OUR SORROW VASSALS
WE WILL BRING IGNOMINY UPON THE LANDS OF THEIR FATHERS

response #9 by philboy:

THE LARGER NUMBER WILL BE DISPLAYED ON OUR SIDE OF THE SCOREBOARD

response #15 by datasuspect:

THE ENEMY TEAM WILL CRAWL PROSTRATE TO THE LAKE OF FIRE
THEY WILL KNOW THE WRATH OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM

response #16 by DuStrange:

YOUR CHIN STRAPS WILL QUIVER WILL GREAT SORROW.
AS WILL YOUR JOCK STRAPS.

response #19 by philboy:

YOUR JOCKSTRAPS WILL SHRINK FROM THE MOISTNESS OF YOUR SHAME

response #22 by Rabrrrrrr:

THE LIMIT EVEN OF THE SQUARE OF YOUR SCORE STILL WILL NOT APPROACH OUR UNAUGMENTED VALUE

response #58 by MineralMan:

ESCHEW VIOLENCE! PLAY NICELY!

response #101 by sarge43:

PRIMUM ET DECEM EST, RURSUM AGENDUM EST! DETRACTUM!
In case they don't teach Latin, "First and ten, do it again! Touchdown!

response #13 by trof:

Next time try the "Rickety Rackety Ree" cheer.
Rickety Rackety Ree
Hit 'Em In The Knee!
Rickety Rackety Rass
Hit 'Em In The Other Knee!


response #17 by Rabrrrrrr:

I used to cheer "BREAK HIS FUCKING BACK WITH AN ILLEGAL MOVE! FUCK EM!!!"
and "AFTER THE GAME WE'RE BURNING YOUR GODDAMN TOWN DOWN YOU FUCKING OUTSIDER SHITBAGS!!!"

and "HE'S DOWN, KICK HIM IN THE HEAD UNTIL HE FUCKING DIES!!!"

And for pom poms I used Jarts which would find themselves accidentally in the bellies of opposing ball carriers. I once doused the opposing side in gasoline and set them on fire; that was one fucking funny homecoming game! Goddamned small town opponents never knew what hit 'em, and then they stopped the game because, and I quote, "A fire in the stands break out killing 78 people in fiery death while one of the cheerleaders, a Mr. Rabrrrrrr, slit the throats of the remaining 308 opposing team fans as they tried to escape". Fuckstains.



I didn't last too long. Not in the provincial shithole I grew up in. Fuckers wanted war, I gave 'em war, and then they suspend *me* for "unsportsmanlike conduct". What the fuck?!

I don't understand the world.

response #41 by DuStrange:

OUR GAME PLAN WILL CAUSE SUCH ANGUISH...
THAT YOU WILL BE FORCED TO CALL A TIME-OUT DURING THE FIRST QUARTER AND CHOOSE OVERWHELMINGLY TO FORFEIT THE GAME.

response #43 by Rabrrrrrr:

BY THE THIRD QUARTER YOU WILL BE MUCH MORE TIRED THAN YOU ARE NOW!

response #36 by trof:

Locking. Excessive use of ALL CAPS.
You guys know better.
I really should be a mod.

response #52 by Oregonian:

DO YOUR BEST AND HAVE FUN! PARTICIPATION IS THE IMPORTANT THING!

response #55 by turtlensue:

This thread..it scares me
My mother was in charge of a cheerleading squad and it was NEVER like this..of course the football team never won either...

response #68 by Pacifist Patriot:

They just looked at me like I had sprouted horns.
While iambic pentameter wasn't a problem there was a bit of resistance with the haiku. Not to mention my polite requests and three syllable words went over their heads. Even when they were in the pyramid formation.

response #70 by jasonc:

Here's one I thought up in the shower just now...
WE SHALL REND YOUR SOULS WITH SUCH VIOLENCE AND FEROCITY AS TO LEAVE YOU LOST FOREVER WITH SHAME AS YOUR ONLY COMPANION.

response #73 by DuStrange:

YOUR SHAMPOO CLEANSES YOUR FOLLICLES...
LEAVING YOUR HAIR SHINY AND LUSTROUS, MAKING YOUR DULL-HAIRED ENEMIES ENVIOUS!

response #90 by philboy:

THROW THE BALL IN SUCH A MANNER THAT YOUR TEAMMATE CAN CATCH IT!

response #94 by LSK:

DON'T HIT THEM HARD, WE DON'T WANT THEM TO FALL DOWN!!!!

[Demovictory9]

1. blast from the past

[Withywindle]

2. WOW that takes me back

I loved the DUzys. Even won a couple, back in the day.

Thank you for this amazing memory.

[BlueMTexpat]

3. The DUZYs were

the absolute BEST!

[malaise]

4. I absolutely loved the DUzy awards and still miss JeffR

[2naSalit]

7. Same here.

Wish we had a return of the Duzy awards, we could all use a good laugh whenever they are available. This site is so vast that it's hard to catch all the great comments out there.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Oh, yes! Good times, good times. I still like to come up with funny/weird cheers.

Drives my friends crazy sometimes.

[Dr. Strange]

13. Welcome to DU!

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Thank you! Good to be here. I'm glad I found this place.

Are you one of the owners?

Is it okay to swear here?

[Dr. Strange]

22. I'm part owner of the Lounge.

Swearing is allowed, but only in the original Fremen tongue.

You know, that's another thing I wish I could find: those Dune threads you started (maybe as Match Games?). I can't find those using the site's search function, or by Googling. Nothing works!

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. Ah, the ol' match game threads! Those were often quite hilarious.

I'm not sure how many of the match games were done with Dune themes, but probably a few.

And I would say that it's weird they cannot be found, but of course, I am the one that is in the place you fear to go, and that's where those threads are stored. I hid them during the Butlerian Jihad, to keep them away from freepers. Not that any would have understood them, but they could still be used as a weapon by the ignorant and the non-human.

[ms liberty]

6. I miss the DU'zys. n/t

[mdmc501]

8. Good morning everyone

I tried looking for that Cheer thread a few months ago, but couldn't find it.

Damn that thread was fun!

[CTyankee]

14. Do you remember a song called "Fight Fiercely, Harvard! Fight, fight, fight!"

I now cheer for Yale.

[Dr. Strange]

15. No!

How did I miss this Lehrer song?!

[CTyankee]

16. I might be wrong...I remember it as Lehrer, but could be out of my mind...that happens...

[Dr. Strange]

17. Appears to be:
