Someone emailed me this comment from that other evil place that I never go to anymore:

I'm sad Trooper is no longer part of Althouse the blog. If I recall correctly, it was his own choice to leave and cut this blog out of his life entirely. I hope there might be a reconciliation someday, though I won't hold my breath.
Loyalty is a fine quality. But for a friend of Trooper's to come here *just* for the purpose of taunting and insulting Meadehouse, IMO doesn't help anything. Just stirs up more bad blood, doesn't it?
Anyway, hadn't heard about Troop's reality show; good luck to him!
I would like to explicitly state that I hope no one visits the depths of Hell to piss on the evil blogger lady....even if she is on fire. I don't encourage nastiness. That's her gig. What we do here is about us and has no need to have anything to do with that unfortunate couple. I just want them to take my name out of their mouth and to leave us alone.
I really appreciate those of you who post over there a lot not mentioning what we are doing or are talking about here. Also I ask that some of youse guys who are emailing me quotes to not worry about it. I don't care what is going on over there. It is no longer any more of my concern. If you like to post over there it is fine with me. It doesn't really matter to me at all. We are doing great stuff here. Let's let bygones be bye bye or something like that there.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 335 of 335We loved our volunteers, you all were the real angels:)
Darcy, I actually used to volunteer at a hospital that's probably not too far from you.
A long time ago.
In a galaxy far, far away.
OMG,we started a new page!
MVP - repaired at Duke 6 years ago. Would not be here but for the genius of my surgeon. All done through a keyhole on my right side - my chest was not cracked. All my arteries were fine. Just had an undetected birth defect in my mitral valve and it blew out one hot July day when I was lifting huge chunks of white oak. All better now, still meaner than a snake.
So you got a flapper, no more funny noises when your doc listens , huh? I had a mild heart attack when I was 9 months pregnant with my youngest, who is now 27. My EKGs are always abnormandspinelli then and when I see a new doc they always freak out.
Ooh! I reread my last comment. I didn't mean it snippy, Allie! I meant that I understood what you were saying. These people work long, hard shifts. Very busy work!
And Ritmo, I have no idea what cocktail...lol! You silly.
WTF!? Honestly, my iPad did that , now that is freaky. How and why did it spell Spinelli?
No, Darcy I didn't take it as being snippy at all, Darcy, you are so sweet.
I'm at St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Livonia, Ritmo.
'Night, all. :)
Oopie, my doc, who as I say is a genius, one of the best in the world, was able to repair my mitral valve using the materials he found in place. No pig valve, no mechanical valve, just some trimming of the flap, some stitches and a titanium ring and I am good to go.
GO DUKE!
Dang. Get caught up in work for a few hours and I miss the orgy.
"An or-gee is when there's three, and one says 'Aw, gee, there's no one here for me.'" -- Benny Hill
Y'all are making me wish I had heart trouble!
I guess I don't have to wish too hard, given the family history.
I probably don't know the exact one, Darce, but I know the area.
I don't know why, but I like calling you Darce, if that's ok.
Good night.
Allie - I can't remember where you currently stand re: yogurt, let alone Greek yogurt, but I just picked some up from the store around the corner and it comes in a fat-free, fruity variety (not channeling Titus). They make it in upstate New York, called "Chobani".
It's probably not something you can get back in dairy country, but just figured I'd mention it.
Duke is definitely a great academic medical center.
Ritmo, we do get Chobani here in the backwater. BUT mine is so much better.
Sixty, sounds like your heart is good to go! New lease on life, good stuff.
What is yours? It was your home-made version, right?
Maybe yours IS better, but I just had one with blood orange in it.
That was damn cool. Even cooler that they still got it to taste fresh and not too tart.
Thanks, Ms. Oop-enhiemer, I like it. I am certain others find it a mixed blessing. ;^)
Yes, it's homemade , with love from my kitchen.
Not us Sixty! We likes ya!
Allie's just trying to make me jealous. She looks upon Sixty as her Strappin' Ole Lumberjack.
It won't work.
Ritmo, you know you are my special guy. Sixty probably thinks there's no accounting for taste though, lol.
That was truly tasteless.
Now get a taste of this!
Goodnight, thread.
Goodnight room.
Goodnight moon.
Goodnight cow, jumping over the moon.
Buenas Noches
Sorry I am late to the party after youse guys have signed off.
A nice dry Chianti for me.
No fava beans though.
You're making too much noise. You woke me up.
Isn't Chobani Yogurt that guy from India who writes all those books about being better in mind, body and spirit, or something?
It's not letting me get beyond the 200th comment.
Click on the headline of the original comment. But since this is comment 234 or so, you better read Troop's Ike Turner thread where all is explained.
@Gritty: I tweeted Haz the top secret after hours password instructions.
Only 20 more comments needed to set an all time new TY record which stands at256.
Well then, let's all do our part. Here's to the new record. What was this thread about?
I'm in. :)
@Ritmo You can call me Darce. :)
Hey Darce!
Have you seen those commercials for really expensive dog food? You know, the commercials with the anxiety-ridden people who want to know that their dog is getting the absolutely best dog food on the planet?
Then they describe the ingredients, and they're usually like filet mignon, escargot, green beans sauteed in shallots and garlic, and so on.
Those people probably plug their kids full of Ding Dongs and Pop Tarts for breakfast every morning.
The dogs in such cases are almost certainly substitutes for kids, MH.
Hi, Sixty!
I wanted to say last night that I'm so glad you had a genius doctor! I'm glad you're with us.
@Darcy: Can I call you Darcia?
#italianlessons
And you too, Mr. Haz. But you know that. :)
*huggles all around*
(Is that too much?) lol
You know I like when you bring the Italian, Bruce. ;-)
I get to learn a little every day here!
Sprezzatura!
Random. Just popped out. See?
What was Blogger thinking , this breaks up the flow, having to read all comments to the end by clicking on the orange headline, then going back again to comment.
So that was some party we had last night, I'm feeling a bit woozy this AM.
I wonder where MamamM has been?
I remember Sprezzatura!
LOL I called you darcysporty in that tweet!
Darcia sportiva
#italianlessons
Mind like a steel trap. ;-)
@Allie
I'm a little fuzzy too. I have no excuse!
You know, the commercials with the anxiety-ridden people who want to know that their dog is getting the absolutely best dog food on the planet?
Just go to the animal rescue shelter and get some cats. It's a win-win situation. The animal loving, PETA types think you're a wonderful person, and your dog will love you, too. Of course, explaining your need to adopt 17 cats in three days gets tricky, but around here, you can blame it on foxes and bears.
Sprezzatura? Is it an Italian cheese spread? Just doing my civic duty to this thread?
Darcy I hope you didn't think I was negating the role of volunteers last night, I just re read that . I'm thinking of volunteering, I used to volunteer at the VA hospital, I may go back.
Darce-o-rama - thanks. Glad to be here. I am grateful every day. Don't always express it well, but I am.
How are we doing with regards to the record? Do we need to issue a general call for more clutter? MORE CLUTTER!!!
LMAO, I misspelled MamaM! Oh she will love that. I better get ready.
I am a fanboy of the MamaM!
I know that irks some. What else is new around here?
Hey fanboy, she is an enigma, always interesting, but she scares me a bit.
257!
Mum's the word.
Darcy, her real name is Mum, she's a mummer with Mumford and sons. She was born in Mumbai, her kids called her Mum after the English fashion.
Oh yes I hear she once appeared as an extra in a Mummy movie.
Keep that last fact under wraps, okay?
Hehehe....
What on earth would yuo call the people who live on this island?
I do not know, but the good news is it's no where near the island of Lesbos.
I'm not sure, but I think they'd benefit from forming a free-trade zone with this island.
Dammit, 60.
Redundant posts do advance the goal of setting a new thread-length record, at least.
Well now, that's just sad. Or twisted minds think alike. Or MORE CLUTTER!!!
@Haz: I don't know what you'd call the inhabitants of Dildo Island but I bet they were into scrimshaw.
"Hey baby, come over to my place, I have some racy whale teeth to show you."
An early 18th century pickup line. Can't miss.
Remember this? From the '70's?
Nope. But I remember it from today.
Always glad to oblige and educate, Sixty...

@Sixty: Your gorgeous video reminded me of this.
And that new Dale reminded me of the old Dale: link
I nominate Dick Dale to play next year's Super Bowl Half Time.
What, and lose the Old Queen demographic? Heaven forbid!
Actually, he should play the Star Spangled Banner, too.
Scrimshaw, so beautiful, but I bet that could hurt.
There you go! No need to call out for the MamaM to provide additional stimulation or ramp up the entertainment. Amazing grace shows up with or without her!
The Hills and Dales provided offer an interim oasis or a fine climax.
Beauty in the midst.

Easy does it, Allie: link
I meant to attach a :) to that last comment, Allie.
FWIW: An old favorite is up again at YouTube: link
That's a very young Neil pinging the guitar in the background. That video goes up and down pretty fast.
Should we be pushing harder to get this comment count over 300, thereby putting the record forever out of reach, at least until some HGH 'roid freak with a giant head comes along to break it?
Awwww. A cute, fuzzy little Darcy?
Who could resist that?
(Not I, surely.)

Well, I guess I could start on some HGH.
(I have the giant head. Not sure what that has to do with anything but...well, have you seen Megamind? Peanuts.)
Thanks for posting the Ed Sullivan link - that shows Dick Dale's picking style very clearly - it sure is odd to see the low notes being played on the bottom string, that's for sure.
And yes, Dick Dale lives to pick another day. What a guy - 50 years on and still bring oud music to a wider audience.
@Allie
Perky may be too optimistic, but they're hangin' in there...so to speak.
Boobs are like hair...if you have one type you wish you had another. That's what keeps the fashion & beauty industry churning and hope springing eternally.
Wow...286 comments?!
Dang, I was watching DA S2 and missed the fun...which btw is outstanding.
OK, even though I'm busy packing care packages for my military daughter, I'll contribute to the effort of reaching 300.
BJM, as long as they are healthy, that's all that matters. I have a friend who just had a double mastectomy. She has skin expanders in , awaiting the reconstructive surgery.
@pollopoco
WARNING LINK NSFW!!!
I'm thinking that Dildoians would prolly be into this sort of scrimshaw too.
Damn, BJM! I just opened your link,watch out now you'll have all the guys getting all randy again,lol.
BJM you remind me of some of my favorite female friends, when we get together, we are incorrigible!
290!!
OKAY, FINE. 292 THEN.
EVERYBODY GET NAKED!
Hehe, that might bring in some more comments.
@BJM: As frisky as a Pompeii fresco!
What, you weren't naked already? Damn...
@BJM: To be blunt, that Japanese scrimshaw is not "one-size-fits-all art!
@Allie
...when we get together, we are incorrigible!
Yep...the men head for the man cave when they see us setting out the dainty nibbly bits, wine glasses and queuing up chick flicks in the family room.
Sixty, it's practical when packing parcels, tape is sticky and gets everywhere.
@OOP - YOU ARENT??
Oh yeah BJM your my kind BFF! Edgy, love it!
And Darcy always brings the sweetness to set of our spice!
No Haz, it's cold here in Walkershaw County, as you know.
OKY DOKY, job done! Over 300.
302
Hmm, we're passing through some classic V8 motor sizes.
She's real fine my 409!
@petitpoulet
Now The Man is Big Sis...seems we've learned nothing, eh?
Except that this hotness would devolve into a crabby old coot.
@Sixty
305? Pashaw, let's blow the doors off this joint.
Who is to say that Van the Man was not a crabby young coot?
Saw the title "Les 'Them'" and went to google translate. Hmm, "them" in English becomes "les" in French. "Les 'Les'"? That can't be right. Hmm, how about "le groupe musical 'les'"? Yeah, that's better...
In any case, here's to yet another musical icon nearly 50 years on - crabby or not, keep on rockin', Van. And how about him bein' a father to two young children at his age?
Van Morrison is a crabby old coot? I've missed something.
I see your 426 and raise you to GMC V12 with 702 cubic inches of pure GMC horsepower! Oh yeah, purrs like a truck!
@BJM: That 427 went out with a whimper, not a bang.
Troop's gonna have to post a sign:
Earplugs Required; Pants Optional.
Van is notoriously cranky. Can't really blame him. He likes to be left alone. It's all about the music, not the scene. I like the fact that he has sued his neighbors - my kind of guy. I think one of them threw a ball on his lawn. Oh yeah!
Ah! I'm not a true vanboy!
I'm a Ford, not a wanna be Lincoln.
I think I could turn that phrase better...
I have been, since '65 or so. We used to play various Them songs. Oh yeah, I am old...
@60
We were talkin' V8's...now if you want to get into V12's then that's a whole 'nother conversation.
@Chicken...yeppers one of ours did...piston through the block when the tree went green.
Fun times...then we grew up, stopped living like gypsies and got real jobs.
I'm afford, not a rentner
...too German...too obscure (I laughed tho)
@60
Me too...vangirl...dude's still got it too...saw him live last year in ESS EFF at the Masonic...flashback city it was...coulda made a fortune off a walker & Oxy bottle rental concession. ;^)
I gotta stop and do some chores or the SU's gonna be pissed.
Why didn't someone think of a private EBL spinoff before?
BJM - that "walker" comment made me laugh. Thanks.
So this party is still going on, what is it like a Greek wedding, last three days, or is that a Chinese wedding, or maybe Indian.
Trooper said something about it being the after hours club.
Or a Chinese fire drill, which Troop mentioned the other day. Or the Energizer Bunny. Or, worse yet, THE WALKING THREAD!!!
RUN AWAY!!!
Are we all naked now??
I'm too shy. :(
I am, under my clothes...
Phew. You and me, Sixty. :)
Who said naked? I know I heard that!
My cabin in far northern Wisconsin is so remote that during summer clothing is an option, unless company's expected. Very habit forming, it is.
Hawt.
Mosquitoes.
Itchy.
So, Darcy's hawt and itchy?
I miss all the fun.
Applying ointment. :-)
Fly in the ointment!
Looks like this thread's petering out.
I figured the Hoh flounced off to pout.
