Because apparently he's everywhere on the internet. And that's no easy task.

Therefore, that fact alone deserves appreciation, regardless of one's personal opinion concerning one Sid Dithers of DemocraticUnderground.com.

Hence, the topic title, "Sid Dithers appreciation thread."

80. Mr. Dithers: from Wiki

Mr. Dithers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Julius C. Dithers is Dagwood Bumstead's boss in the comic strip Blondie. His wife is Cora Dithers. Mr. Dithers has a very harsh personality and is portrayed as a difficult and controlling employer. He continuously denies Dagwood's requests for a raise and frequently threatens to fire him. He always addresses Dagwood somewhat disrespectfully by using only his last name "Bumstead"

Despite the frequent disputes at work, Julius and Cora are frequent dinner guests at Dagwood's home after work. On these occasions, the relationship is more cordial, with Mr. Dithers addressing Dagwood by his first name.

Other references[edit]

In 2005, the The Economist reported that Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin was being called "Mr. Dithers" by political commentators [1]. This nickname was attributed to Martin's perceived habit of being indecisive and "dithering." In an extension of this theme, the Liberal Party of Canada has been labeled "The Ditherals."

John Ashbery's poem "I Asked Mr. Dithers Whether It Was Time Yet He Said No to Wait" appears in his collection Chinese Whispers (2002).

81. Rare early photo of Sid:

[zappaman]

83. One of my favorite bands!

Actually got to meet them...basically 2 guys.
Other members rotate.
Nice as can be!

[lovemydog]

85. There's a new documentary on them!

Here's the site for it:

http://residentsmovie.com

[zappaman]

87. Yes I know.

Looking forward to it!
Hoping they play some shows as well...

[lovemydog]

88. So cool that you met them zappaman!

I've never seen them live. I bet you've seen them perform.

Look forward to this documentary!

[zappaman]

98. Seen them plenty of times.

Starting in the 80s with Snakefinger!
If you ever get the chance, go!
Always unique!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

82. Do you want the True-True?

Sid's not a god. He borned'n'died hundreds o' years ago in a far'way pen'sula deadlanded now. I know DU'ers b'liefs. I know Skinner teach'd you Sid was a mir'cle , birthed o' the god of Smart named EarlG but it ain't the true-true. His life was sad'n'judased and he died tryin' to change the Old Un's thinkin'. B'fore he died he spoke to a orison 'bout his acts'n'deedins. His words 'minder me what's the true-true. I keep them with me at all times.

84. Waiting For Sid- And Absurdist Play wherein numerous characters wait endlessly

and in vain for the next posting of someone named Sid Dithers on the internet website "Democratic Underground".

[Fumesucker]

89. K&R... Sid is possibly the most reliable weathervane to conventional wisdom on DU

It's a tough job but someone has to do it.

[great white snark]

91. I can only hope to one day share the same IP as Sid Dithers.

You say the most with the least amount of words Mr. Dithers. Thanks for making DU not suck.

[Art_from_Ark]

92. I have located Sid's long-lost grandfather

[KamaAina]

93. Might as well.

'Cause we all know this is really a Skinner appreciation thread.

[treestar]

94. Here's to Sid

Who puts up with no nonsense whatsoever, from religious to RT !

for Sid!

[Number23]

95. We are all Sid and he is all of us and we are all one.

[Cha]

103. Cool Graphic, 23..

[Number23]

109. I can't tell which I'm enjoying more. This thread or the "Snowden got an Oscar by proxy

so that means that he wuz right so SUCK it!!1" crowd.

I haven't seen the film but hear that it's excellent. But the idea that because the Hollywood elite (the same crowd that ignored "Selma" and anointed "Driving Ms. Daisy" 25 years ago) gave this film an award that Snowden has been "vindicated" is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever seen here. At least when he was nominated for those "peace" prizes, you could kind of understand the thinking behind it. This is a whole 'nother thing entirely.

[SunSeeker]

102. I appreciate Sid for his wit and insight. I didn't know he posted elsewhere too.

[Half-Century Man]

104. And verily it came to past.

That Sid, having spent 40 megabytes in the electronic wilderness, rose to a higher plane of existence and accessed the enlightenment of Universal IP Addressness.
