The Poolitzer Prize: PoopReporter of the Year, 2004

Posted 01.06.2005 by Dave (11547)
Below is the first I email I ever received from The Big Wiper:
I e-mailed you about a month ago three poop scenes from films--Teachers, North Dallas Forty and Shallow Hall. I trust you got them, but I haven't seen them updated in the Movie Archives. I actually know of a few more such scenes but haven't e-mailed about them because I didn't know if you got the first ones or planned to use them. Do you go out and rent the movies first to make sure the scenes are as described? I think your website is interesting and fun as well as liberating. There are way too many people out there who are just totally uptight about the bathroom scene. Later.

That was February, 2003. Nearly two years later, The Big Wiper (as he soon became known) has published thirty-eight full-length poop reports, not to mention forty-five poop movie scene submissions, 439 article comments, and over 1500 posts on the forums. This effort has made him the third-most prolific contributor to PoopReport.com, behind Doniker and yours truly -- and Doniker and I both had a two-year head start.

Since all media organizations are required by law to assess the year past no later than the first week of January, I've spent the last few days going through the archives to identify 2004's major contributors. I have to lavish heaping thanks on Clustersnarf, Jaybowel and AssBlaster2000, of course, for their invaluable behind-the-scenes work. Without them, we wouldn't have been consistently entertained by the articles, comments, and forums posts of 2004's most valuable poopers: Daphne, definitely. Turd Hugegrunt, of course. Three Ply, without a doubt. And Poonurse -- dear Poonurse. For the first half of 2004 she awed us with her wit, her style, and her encyclopedic knowledge of poo. I can honestly say that no PoopReporter has taught me more about my chosen vocation than Poonurse.

Poonurse is the only PoopReporter who could have rivaled The Big Wiper in prolificacy. But at the end of July, Poonurse abruptly disappeared. Which means The Big Wiper floats alone at water level, little flakes of his greatness detaching from his bulk like fecal fish food, gently drifting down to rest on the upturned faces of we, his stubby brown colleagues, as we look in awe at him from below.

That's what The Big Wiper is to us: a thick, brown bowlcurler that's the grand finale to a full playbill of poop. While each of the logs that proceeded The Big Wiper would have been perfectly satisfying on their own right, they are nevertheless dwarfed by the tremendous mass of The Big Wiper's contributions in 2004. His slimy bulk, riddled with crevasses and chasms wide enough to swallow other turds whole, somehow possess the structural integrity to wrap around the bowl a record-breaking number of times. The skidmarks left by The Big Wiper are permanent, indelible; but why would you want to remove them?

Uh, I'm not really sure what the above metaphor is supposed to mean. But it's supposed to be a compliment. In 2004, The Big Wiper left a trail of smears all over PoopReport.com. He gave us moving stories. He solved mysteries. He brought up issues we'd never considered. He reported on the issues that mattered. When potential poop reports presented themselves, he didn't hesitate to get to the bottom of the story. He's a constant (and constantly cheery) presence on the forums; how many users got their first welcome not from one of the moderators, but from him?

2004 was a great year for PoopReport. We served four million pages to over 1.4 million people. We published two hundred and nine features and god knows how many thousands of forums posts and article comments. There are many, many people who made PoopReport great this year. In past year-end retrospectives, there were a few top PoopReporters, and I couldn't possibly pick one above the others without putting it to a public vote. This year, though, in my mind, no vote was necessary. Congratulations to The Big Wiper. Enjoy the Poolitzer Prize as 2004's PoopReporter of the Year -- you deserve it.

That might be the lamest graphic I've ever created. I'm very sorry.

God hates a crybaby, THS.

TBW: if the most disgraced PoopReporter around thinks you're doing everything wrong, that probably means you're doing everything right. Congratulations on your well-deserved honor!

ThreePly (not verified) -- 01.06.2005

Congratulations Big Wiper! You are truly a man among men. May 2005 bless you with solid, massive, dumps and may they go down on the first flush.

wonderpance (504) -- 01.06.2005

i agree with dave's choice 100%. mr. wiper not only does some wonderful poop reporting, but he's also just a great person. i've never seen him talk down to anyone, or act rude or anything like that in the forums. and he always contributes positively to the conversations. even if he disagrees with someone, he remains civil and keeps his sense of humor. you gotta love that!

he's also like a mentor to new poopreporters, such as myself. like dave said, he's always the first person to welcome new people, and he offers friendly advice and does whatever he can to help us fit in and feel welcome, which is something very few (if any) of the other veteran poopereporters do.

hoooray for the big wiper, poop reporter of the year! i can't think of anyone who deserves it more. here's poop in your eye, mr. wiper! (if i were drinking an alcoholic beverage right now, i'd take a sip to toast your victory.)

Di Uhreea (409) -- 01.06.2005

I agree that there was no vote required. Well done, Wiper! When Dave puts it all together like that it's astounding what you've contributed! Congrats big guy. Love ya.

Dave, I think your medal graphic was awesome - not lame.

The Holy Shitter (157) -- 01.06.2005

So, I can't even post out here without getting censored? My God...

I'm serious, the whole medal thing and then the paragraphs of adulation are quite a bit excessive.

TBW's posts are lame, boring and have no bite. There is a complete lack of caustic wit and that "edge" this site once had is now gone.

*edit me*

daphne (3369) -- 01.06.2005

Good lord man, does he have blood in his stool?

(The poop has what appears to be bloody remnants)

Just kidding.

Congrats Wiper! Maybe someday after you have literary awards from your publisher, then you can showcase all of these together in you office. Someone will say, "what's this?" and you'll reply, "It's my Poopie."

The Big Wiper (2240) -- 01.06.2005

Today I was on one of my many business trips overnight and did not get to check into my favorite website until late afternoon. After I finished my paperwork (no, no that kind, the sales kind!), I got online and tuned in to PR, and there waiting for me was a wonderful surprise.

I thought perhaps there would be a vote for PoopReporter Of The Year like there has been the last two years, so to receive this honor and acknowledgement from my friend, Dave, whom I had the privilege of meeting in person this summer at our buddy AP's wedding was overwhelming. Thank you so much, my good friend and editor.

But Dave is not the only friend I have made on PR: in Chat Room, e-mails, on the Forums, on front page comments and, in some cases, over the phone and in person, I have gotten to know a wide variety of people from all walks of life. I truly enjoy interacting with all of them and meeting new ones as well, too numerous to mention.

But I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge my great rapport with and respect for such poopers as AssBlaster2000, our great moderator, whom we prefer to call AB2K; my cool Canadian friends, Di, Disco and Snapper; daphne; bluespoo (whom we know as Blues most of the time); Turd Hugegrunt (TH), my fellow Mississippi-born brother; Will, my new friend from Boston; ThreePly; The Malicious Pooper, whose rap lyrics have brought some Generation-X Plus energy to the site; Ty, one of the first respondents to my first Front Page story last year and who is always good for insightful comments; my great buddy, Dodger, who supported me during a difficult time on the site; and certainly not least, our brilliant graphic artist and talent, ass_phlegm, whose wedding to his beloved Michelle, I was proud to witness.

As a writer who believes his purpose in life is to communicate with others, this honor from PR's founder is very satisfying. We are all of us involved in this site doing a good thing together, and I know it will only get better in 2005!

Peace and Plop to all!

P.S. to Dave-O: I agree with Di. Your medal looks cool to me. I will wear it proudly in my trophy case of memories.

The Big Wiper (2240) -- 01.06.2005

Oops! I forgot to mention one of my fav IM buddies--clustersnarf. Not only instrumental in keeping things running smoothly in cyberspace, but a very personable and funny guy as well.

Cheers, Cluster!

Clustersnarf (36) -- 01.06.2005

Thanks TBW and Dave. I've been pretty quiet around the forums because of buying a new place, working too much, and all kinds of other stuff going on.

I've also been too damned regular to have any good stories. I still lurk and help dave out behind the scenes of the great PR.

WTG TBW.

God (not verified) -- 01.06.2005

Holy Shitter, where are you. You're worthless ass hasn't licked my toilet clean in weeks! Get up here! I'm starting to get that yellow line on the edge of the bowl again.

will (not verified) -- 01.06.2005

Congratulations TBW...you deserve it!!!!!

The Big Wiper (2240) -- 01.06.2005

I hope the following poopers will forgive me for not mentioning how much I have enjoyed my exchanges with them on the site as well: Pooperscooper, Chip Brown, Poop Diddy, Slim Jim Junkie, Kung Poo and The Shit Volcano. In my excitement over the honor bestowed upon me so graciously by Dave-O, I didn't quite cover all my bases. I hope to be interacting with all of you in 2005! (And many others not mentioned!)

Dr. Strangeturd (37) -- 01.07.2005

Hats off to The Big Wiper!

right on TBW......congrats

ontheshitter (not verified) -- 01.07.2005

With all due respect to The Big Wiper, I found many other shit stories FAR funnier. "The Dropped Call," is a classic that shall live on in the anals on time forever. Donicker too. TBW's stories were.....were....just too vanilla....too Mary Poppins.

Sorry, but, as they say, "opinions are like assholes; everyone has one, and frankly yours stinks..." And that's my opinion, for what it's worth.

I think TBW is a good guy though, not that he gives a shit. I sure wouldn't.

the shit reaper (not verified) -- 01.07.2005

LOL @ the 'award' congratulations, TBW hehehhe

Commode-O Dragon (107) -- 01.08.2005

I saw the medal and the "blood" on top of it and I thought that what happened was someone passed the poo and the huge medal at the same time, which did some damage obviously...and the blood is red because it dripped on top of the poo. If it were digested with the poo, it would be black.

Well, that theory aside, congrats to TBW and such.

Chris Rockwell (42) -- 01.08.2005

Congrats Big Wiper! When I first visited poopreport last month, BW was the first to welcome me into the community. Since then I have read with awe all the great content Big has posted to the site, you truly deserve this great honor.

poopscile (not verified) -- 01.09.2005

Congratulations TBW! And thanks for your asstounding work!

Slim Jim Junkie (not verified) -- 01.09.2005

That medal of honor would outshine any prize that is situated next to it.

And I don't think those turds have blood, I think that they contained bits of tomato. I know I can get a few if I load up my pasta with sauce.

turducken (not verified) -- 01.10.2005

I was an avid lurker and sometime contributor to the old, cynical PR until this asswipe showed up all bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and kissing ass to anyone who would bend over. The only reason I found out about this award was because a friend who knew of my dislike for TBW posts sent me the link. TBW is a pathetic loser desperately searching for friends. Just go back and read his first letter to Dave at the top of this page. If someoone bugged me like that, I would have shut 'em down from the get go. What can I say? Dave your a better man than I.

daphne (3369) -- 01.10.2005

Isn't Turducken that turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken with 3 different types of stuffing?

Cool name.

daphne (3369) -- 01.10.2005

To add, I like cynicism as much as the next smartass. But, I wouldn't leave a website just because someone joined that bugged me.

ass licker (not verified) -- 01.10.2005

thanks & congrats TBW for all the laughs. Now that you've won the super bowl, will you be goin to Disney World? Keep up the good work.

Ass Phlegm (314) -- 01.10.2005

I haven't been around a bit lately due to my wife's pregnancy, but I stop by once in a while. I just wanted to comment that no other poop reporter deserves this more. In fact, he deserved it last year too, I felt bad for winning the vote, but this year , without a doubt it was well deserved and over earned.

Congrats TBW, you really have brought this site to new heights with your incredible presence.

The Big Wiper (2240) -- 01.11.2005

AP, not many people know how much you have done and still do for the site, so you should feel good about winning in 2003.

Meanwhile, we eagerly await the birth of your child. Perhaps, Dave-O knows for sure, but won't this be the first announced childbirth of a PR'er since the site was up and running full-time in September of 2001? Think of it as the ultimate Lifetime Achievement Award, AP! Ha!

Hairy Pooter (111) -- 01.11.2005

Congratulations TBW. You've made me laugh dozens of times and you don't know it. Well I guess now you do. Huzzah!
