Originally created by Rev and later continued by Dr Shipman and Doctor Know, the Bummys are a (mostly) annual celebration of the best and worst of Hobowars.
Rev: "Like most good ideas, I came up with it while I was dropping a deuce. Yeah, poopin. My wife had left her copy of People magazine in the bathroom, and feeling like I was in this one for the long haul, I needed some reading material. I started to leaf through, and it was the "Best and Worst of 2005" issue. The wheels started to turn, and once I had finished doing my business I hopped on the computer and bounced the idea off of my muse, Yuk. He immediately liked the idea, and we kicked around some ideas for categories before I headed to the F&G board to post up the first annual Bummy Award nomination thread."

No specific information about this year's rules is available, however it is assumed that the rules were the same as the 2006 Bummys rules as listed below. The only information about winners was a note in the HoboWeekly stating that RP McMurphy won Hobo of the Year.

2007 Bummys
Specific information about the 2007 Bummys rules and administration is missing since the message boards were accidentally deleted sometime in 2008 and the HoboWeekly was out of commission by that time.
The 2007 Bummys was either run by Rev, with Dr Shipman assisting by creating the Youtube videos with the results, or run entirely by Dr Shipman.
The Youtube videos with the results can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssZcm2Lk-us (Part 1 of 2) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU1LCg7rK44 (Part 2 of 2).
