Since so many seem to be vying for this position, I propose another "test" to help determine the winner. Uh...I mean, the ultimate loser.
JohnR has already expressed his dismay at having been considered less dumb than Jim, so I graciously retracted my suggestion that JimF is dumber, and allowed JohnR to retain his title. BUT, in other threads, Nabby seems to be moving down the list towards the bottom fast in *his* attempt to be considered the Dumbest by coming out as a fan of cannibalism. You've got to admit that considering Indian vagrants who eat other people "saints" is pretty dumb, and tough to beat. That's even dumber than Waiting For Maitreya, which was Nabby's previous low mark in terms of Dumbnessitude. Therefore I suggest that if there needs to be a tie-breaker to decide whether JohnR or JimF are really the Dumbest, the title will go to whichever one of them "piles on" to the pro-cannibalism idea first and supports Nabby in his quest for the taste of human flesh. I don't see any of the rest of the bottom-dwellers (Steve, Share, Ann, Richard) as having the ability to think on their own enough to win the Who Will Consume Human Flesh First contest, so I'm going to give the "edge" to JimF in this contest. After all, he's *already* moved out into the boonies, where there are fewer people around to notice if some of them go missing at the same time Jim seems to be preparing a new buncha meat for the winter in his smokehouse. The only question seems to be whether Jimbo will share any of his Long Pig with Nabby, who, after all, suggested it first. If that happens, I suggest that we allow JimF and Nabby to share the title of "Dumbest," with JohnR in second place.
