COSMIC APPLE FRIES are the lightly battered, deep fried wedges that are served with warm caramel dipping sauce. APPLE PIE POPINS are apple slices drizzled with caramel. SO... be careful what you order. All apple based snacks are NOT created equal!

(And enjoy a dill pickle-- they're really quite tasty.)
Originally Posted By DlandDug FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SWEEPING REFORM CALLED FOR IN SELECTION OF 2005 SNACKIE AWARDS Inclusion, Empowerment Urged During Annual Rite (LP Play Pen): A stunning proposal to revamp the selection process of the Annual LP Snackies has captured the imagination of thoughtful people everywhere. The "Modest Proposal," created by DlandDug, the popular and successful champion of last year's winning snack, Turkey Legs (mmmmm), is as follows: "As all devotees of the LP Play Pen well know, the SNACKIE AWARDS have transcended mere partisan bickering to become a beloved institution. Just as the Academy Awards started life as a simple dinner party to hand out unnamed statuettes to studio brown nosers, only to become the biggest media event in the world, the Snackies have matured into an annual tradition, complete with that which is most dear to all right thinking people: hype. Therefore, this thread is established to not only propose, but to champion, a notion which has been bandied about in other threads. That notion, nay, proposal is this: No snack, having previously been awarded a Snackie, shall again be eligible for an LP Snackie Award. Rather, all winning snacks will automatically be named a Snackie Winner Emeritus. This is done NOT to merely "disqualify" any of the many, many tasty snacks that are available for all who choose to eat their way through the Happiest Place on Earth (tm), but rather to honor the achievements of the past awardees, and recognize the diversity that exists within the LP snacking community. Respecting And Valuing Every Snack (RAVES) should be more than just a catchy acronym. It should be the way that all enlightened people choose to live and nosh. Why wallow in the faded triumphs of the past? Instead, move boldly into a pact with the future! A future that recognizes the intrinsic worth of EVERY snack, no matter how obscure, or vaunted. There is, many thoughtful people will agree, a sheer chauvinism in championing that which has already been honored. As an enlightened people, we would do more good by bringing every snack into the light, empowering its devotees with acceptance, and bringing more and more to the table of tasty winners. It is my sincerest hope that those who championed the past winners (Popcorn, Churros, and Turkey Legs) will have the wisdom and tolerance to support this modest proposal." Comments and statements of support about the proposal should be left at the official thread: <a href="http://www.laughingplace.com/default.asp?WCI=MsgBoard&WCE=T-57622-P-1&Refresh=0126143052" target="_blank">http://www.laughingplace.com/d efault.asp?WCI=MsgBoard&WCE=T-57622-P-1&Refresh=0126143052</a>. -30-

"It has come to my attention that certain LP Readers have accused me of creating "false accounts" in order to rile them up. Anyone who knows me also knows that I do not need additional accounts in order to rile people up. I am perfectly capable of being extremely annoying as the singly named poster I have always been-- Dland Dug. Stepping away from my 'funny podium' for a moment, let me say, unequivocably, that i have never created another screen name in the entire time I have posted on LaughingPlace.com, with a single exception. As a contributor to the site, I have, on occassion, responded to readers using my real name. This was cleared with adnministrators, as it is my understanding that the creation of additional screen names violates Community Standards. Fun is fun, but I am a firm believer in following the rules. Please note I am not saying or implying that I will play fair-- only follow the rules. And since the rules say NO ADDITIONAL SCREEN NAMES, I have created none, nor have I encouraged any others to do the same, nor will I in the future. "RealmOfDarkness," "FreeFromTyranny," and "DillPickle" are, to me, completely unknown individuals. If they are unique screen names, then by all means they should continue to post. If they are the creations of existing posters who wish to play games with the system, they should cease. I further hope that all who participate in the LP Snackie Awards will recall that we are, after all, arguing the merits of Popcorn, Dill Pickles, Dole Whips, Turkey Legs, Skewers, and other vile snacks I cannot recall at the moment. So lighten up. And vote for Dill Pickles." -30-

It has come to the attention of at least one member of the DRFSP (me!) that attempts are being made to establish some sort of "Free Snacking Zones," along with the notion that all snacks can be considered "winners" of the 2005 Snackie Awards. While this is a very noble (and undeniably silly) effort, it should be pointed out that the Democratic Republic of Free Snacking People has ALWAYS been a Free Snacking Zone. It is not the intent of the DRFSP to somehow devalue the much vaunted Snackies by reducing them to the approximate level of "field day" at the school for "special" learners. Nay, the 2005 Snackies (which were won by Dill Pickles, incidently) shall remain sacrosanct, its integrity unblemished by the feeble efforts of those who would sully its well deserved reputation. On behalf of the DRFSP, I invite all to celebrate the snack of their choice, and join in congratulating the 2005 Snackie Award winner, DILL PICKLES.

If I have missed anyone else who has declared themself the winner, my apologies in advance with the assurance that whatever it is, there's someone out there that likes it. Until 2006, we remain devoted to... FREE SNACKING!!!

"We haven't seen a more disorderly election since the elections in the United States in November 2000," the Pontiff said during a recent audience. "We believe that the best way to end the contentiousness and bring peace is to put a moratorium on the 'Snackies' elections until 2007, where, hopefully, cooler heads can prevail. We ask that the leader of the Popcorn Patriots, Kar200nman, and the other snack factions join with us." ### END ### DlandDug, leader of the Turkey Leg Insurgents (that's me!) suggests that his "sweetness" sashay over to the "Modest Proposal" thread and see how he and the cardinal responded to the suggestion that we simply take three snacks out of the running. Then explain exactly why there should be a two year moratorium on the whole thing. If, on the other hand, the proposal was to just scrap the whole notion that this was ever "orderly," and get back to Kar2oonMan's suggestion that we all just have some fun, THEN the Turkey Leg Insurgents (that's me!) will wholeheartedly concur. Until then, the Turkey Leg Insurgents (that's me!) offers congratulations to the winners of the 2005 Snackie Awards, DILL PICKLES.
