Trooper York: I wish I was back at L& B

I wish I was back at L& B

I wish I was back at L&B Spumoni Gardens with a big Sicilina pizza and a bottle of wine and some Spumoni for dessert.

That would be perfect.

Trooper York said...: If you ever make it to Brooklyn Michael then Lisa and I will take you and your wife on a pizza tour. We will have a driver so we can have a beer or two at every stop.

It will be as good as it gets.; March 13, 2012 at 12:42 PM
blake said...: Can I tag along? I don't drink, so I could be the designated driver.

Driving in Brooklyn has got to be some kind of trial-by-fire...; March 13, 2012 at 1:03 PM
Trooper York said...: Of course youse guys are all welcome.

Of course if Allie and Darcy get drunk and start to try to pick up guys they are on their own.

Darcy said...: I finally had a root canal done today so I'm baaaaack. (I think? Ask me in 4 hours, lol); March 13, 2012 at 4:06 PM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: Aaack. I feel your pain. Or ...I'm about to. I am scheduled for a root canal in about a week. Taking antibiotics now.

Not looking forward to it. The alternative is to have a big gap in my smile. Sigh.

Take some pain pills and nap.; March 13, 2012 at 4:25 PM
Darcy said...: Aww. Sorry to hear it, DBQ. I was in pain up to this - but nothing after so far. *crosses fingers*

Thanks!; March 13, 2012 at 4:31 PM
The Dude said...: Hope you recover quickly, Darce, root canals are not much fun.; March 13, 2012 at 5:21 PM
chickelit said...: The good news is that that tooth should never cause you pain again. i once had a tooth crown which never should been. All the tooth prep for the crown actually damaged things and then after a few days getting it I had excruciating pain and swelling. Then I had to see an oral surgeon who did a root canal through the new crown followed by a filling in the crown. Just lovely. But like I said, that tooth's pain is history.

Darcy, I always took you as having pristine teeth and not a rotted out mouth like me.; March 13, 2012 at 5:23 PM

Course, Veleeta likes to squeeze the little pink hog up against the stall, just to hear him squeal and watch his tail quiver, so each to their own.; March 13, 2012 at 6:16 PM

Just like Althouse, loved it when there was flirting, but only if it was with her. Darcy and I are generous, we will share the attention if these hot guys with you, but you don't want to be a part of our girl gang, oh well, then be bitter. You do it so well.; March 13, 2012 at 6:43 PM

MamaM said...: Oh, the fun. The love and kindness oozes like rivers of goodness.

Lets see If I got this clear. A spokesperson for the Girl Gang would like me to know that I could be part of their group and share in a cut of the hot male attention available here if only I would be less "mean" and recognize their superior generousity. Sounds like life would be sweet for me if only I'd be a Good Faith commentor and stop with the mooing. What a deal!

Until that time, repeatedly referring to MamaM as a witch, an obsessive, and a scary person, possibly an angry drunk and surely a bitter, jealous person who needs their meds reassessed is so balanced and thoughtful I am overwhelmed by the sweetness and light.; March 13, 2012 at 8:52 PM

Anonymous said...: Well Chickie, I'm laughing.

I never gave her a chance, give me a break, how many times have I asked her to back off and let it go. She has been after me like a dog on a bone from day one. Darcy has also been the object of her "attention". As I said before, I'm here to have fun and enjoy the company of those that inhabit this place. But I think I will emulate Darcy, wise lady she is and completely ignore MamaM.

She can continue to do her thing directed at me till the cows come home, I'm not biting anymore. Your opinion is yours, you're entitled as am I.; March 13, 2012 at 9:16 PM

They were moved, truly inspired by the eloquent prose that he shares with this little club called Trooper York's. Anyhow, I took this picture of an elk as he really got into Titus' words of wisdom. He seemed to be one with Titus. It was a beautiful moment.; March 13, 2012 at 10:29 PM

Today the UPS guy told my son he saw him on the late news over the weekend, in an interview son gave at a convention he attended (I wasn't with him, soooo...). Oh, dear!

After I check with the station to see if I can view the piece that was aired, I may have to schedule a massage, too.

MamaM said...: Thank you Titus, I had to look up esoteric for the true flavor. Sort of like Windbag's elk (below) taking a sample whiff.

Am wondering which of the "gangs" you belong to here at TY, the Gang Bang isn't original enough, perhaps something more solitary, like the Tits and Wandering Cloud Gang?

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;; March 13, 2012 at 11:46 PM

MamaM said...: what the hell does Ritmo have to do with this?

Ritmo's MO since the early Montana Urban Legend days, appears to have been that of Derailment and Pwning via the presentation of volumes of seemingly sincere intellectual argument. As MUL he appeared as a name caller who frequently collapsed into spats of nastiness when cornered. To his credit, he continued to evolve, refining his presentation to include more eloquence and less direct spite as he went through his Brazil and Dental morphs to re-emerge as Ritmo Segundo. There he found himself and his method being observed by Mitochondriallie who hooked up to add her own methods to his madness. Oddly enough, I've received some good gifts through him and have in my home 4 books that came through his posted recommendations.

Too bad Ritmo's blog went private. Those who have access can find the following comment by Allie on Dec 4: So Trooper posted several blog posts honoring the blow up on Althouse, did you know MamaM is Meade? He's been busy trying to sir up sentiment against me on Trooper, but I don't think it's working...

For Allie to continue to pretend I am after her while she repeatedly asks after me, mentions my name in posts where I am not present, speaks for me, and presumes to know beyond a shadow of a doubt what I am thinking, doing and valuing is disenginuity in its finest form.; March 14, 2012 at 1:41 AM

Anonymous said...: Exactly Darcy, there never was a girl gang, wise lady.:)

It was someone's imagination that there ever was. Once it was intimated that there was such an entity, I decided to go with it for fun, but again, we all speak for ourselves, and if I ever say " we ladies" please don't feel I mean any of the ladies here, I may be referring ladies I know outside of this blog. Just to be clear.

R,L sounds like you have spring fever, me too it's been so warm here in WI, folks are out wearing flip flops and capris already, despite being only 60.

Trooper York said...: I just had a chance to catch up with the thread.

I have always valued Ritmo's contributions here and I have thought of chickie as my most frequent valued commenter here. I know they mix it up a little at various times but I think they have come to a mutual tolerance and respect here which is in marked contrast to the Texas cage matches in TOP.

MamaM has a dry wit and an attitude which is something I appreciate. I love people who say things that piss people off. That is one of Allies best characteristics. But Ritmo is wrong when he thinks MamaM is Meade. She has emailed me her details and I believe her.

We can irritate each other as much as we want. To get a pearl you have to irritate the oyster. But I know we can all jostle and mock and emote and palavar and still have respect for each other and the right of that person to have a different opinion than ours. Even an unpopular opinion. Because that's what made America great.

Well plus slavery and stealing things from the Indians. Just sayn'; March 14, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Darcy said...: You know, I don't really care who that person is. I don't think the comments are respectful at all, though. Most often very insulting, particularly to women. But I'm a big girl. No worries.

I also want to say that I don't care what Allie posted elsewhere. I love to allow for a change of heart. In fact, I celebrate when that happens! So, the way I see it is Allie probably came over here with a little trepidation and found some open hearts.

WIN.; March 14, 2012 at 12:08 PM
Trooper York said...: Well MamaM is entitled to say whatever she wants and youse guys should reply or ignore as feels best.

When online folks pay me, I'll start submitting perfect copy, perfectly edited, is and always has been my attitude (at least in comments). Until then, no busman's holiday for me, unless it happens to please me independently, for some reason.

Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; March 14, 2012 at 12:34 PM
The Dude said...: I started working at a large corporation in 1974. Over the next almost 30 years I had opportunities (read "was required") to attend many meetings all over the country, indeed, all over the world.

After all that ended, I started working with a local craft market. Frequently I was the only man in the group. I would attend meetings and afterwards women would come out crying "Did you hear what she said to me?"

I was mystified. Had no idea what the subtext or insult was. And I had spent literally years in meetings. I was totally baffled by what I was missing.

The same is true here - I have yet to crack the code on what is going on. That must be due, in some part, to my inability to comprehend what I read beyond what is on the screen. That, and a lack of desire to try to understand what some comments mean. If they are cryptic or subtle, meh, I lose interest. I am more of an "Die Hard" than a "The English Patient" kind of guy. Bam, I understand. The rest, spare me, I have work to do.; March 14, 2012 at 12:36 PM

Dust Bunny Queen said...: @ Sixty.

It is a girl thing where one person wants to try to align everyone else against one or more other girls and turn the crowd against one or more others by creating an "in crowd" that will then exclude the "out crowd".

They do this by using subtle (beyond the ken of most men) power trip thingies, verbal insults, passive agressive techinques and sexuality with the males to entice them into supporting the wanna-be queen bee. The "game" is to be the top queen and center of attention. Usually the symptom of a very insecure personality.

I'm not interested in playing that game. Too tedious and I don't have the patience.

Too much work to try to decode and a supreme waste of time and energy.

This is why I don't have women friends, don't hang out with women and why when I was in the financial industry I worked with mostly men and with one exception hired only men.; March 14, 2012 at 12:45 PM

The Dude said...: Wait, you say that as if those are bad things. Who did the Indians take the land from? They immigrated from somewhere. The latest theory on the origin of the Clovis point indicates that Europeans settled here before Asians. So maybe Karma is a bitch, eh?

And won't someone think about the Saber Tooth Tiger? Where's the love?

Anonymous said...: Yes it did come here with much trepidation, but I wanted to bury the hatchet, but not in each others skulls. I would never try to stop anyone from expressing their opinion, I never have. I don't like rude mean people and they get under my skin, but as just like Darcy, I'm big girl.

I give as good as I get so I'm not innocent, but I don't believe I ever went after MM , I usually ended up getting pissed off when her "attention" became a bit too personal. I am who I am, may be a bit too flirty, too salty, but if I irritate MamaM , perhaps she could just ignore me as I plan to ignore her.

windbag said...: Once it was pointed out to me that MamaM is not Meade, I was able to process her comments from a different perspective. There is an abrasive edge to her comments. Meh. I view it as more subtle ball-busting. My only complaint is that I have to slow down and think a little more to process.

The thing I've grown to appreciate and cherish here at TY's is that most of the back-and-forth seems to be mostly ball-busting, instead of the flame wars just about every other blog has. It's a nice balance.

Dust Bunny Queen said...: This may explain some things.

I am a "very strong" INTJ personality as tested by the Briggs Meyer system. It has served me well in my occupational choice.

You didn't misinterpret my comment about hanging out with other women. I have had just a few close women friends in my lifetime and those are usually of like mind and we get along well and have been lifetime friends. It doesn't make other personality types and other women any lesser or inferior. Just people (men and women) that I don't want to hang out with.

If you don't like it that I don't want to chew the fat, dish the dirt, play the girl games.....ah well.

MamaM said...: I was. It made me laugh. I've been reading a book on Near Death Experiences (Lessons from the Light/K. Ring). The author has collected 30 years worth of stories from people of all faith persuasions who believe they've undergone a NDE. One of the common threads he's found in the many stories involves a life review, in which the person is invited to look at their life from all sides, with the goal of understanding. Sort of like sniffing ass, and knowing yourself to be fragrant and unique, yet part of something bigger.; March 14, 2012 at 3:23 PM
windbag said...: Back in my pretentious days, I subscribed to Psychology Today. 'nough said. Anyhow, there was an article on NDEs in it that cited stories of people who died and went to Hell. You don't usually hear about those.

When we arrived, the elk had a minivan surrounded and were sniffing it all over. I wonder if that one was comparing and contrasting its exhaust with that of the stranger it had encountered earlier?

I have no idea what all of this means. I think it's pretty common to have only a few close friends. I have a casual circle as well, but since I have 3 sisters, much of it is through family.

Anyway, we have fun. We enjoy each other's company. I don't think any of us have time for backstabbers or people who have a nefarious agenda.; March 14, 2012 at 4:05 PM

Sounds like BJM and I are on the same page.

My hubby is ESTJ Guardian type.

"primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things rationally and logically. Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. "

This is why we get along fabulously. We are both literal and to the point.

I probably also don't bother to make a lot of close friends because of my childhood where we traveled...a lot... sometimes 3 or 4 schools in 3 or 4 States in one school year. Not much point in making friends when you are not going to see them in a few months.; March 14, 2012 at 5:26 PM

Nice weather here in Star Prairie, also. I had to get on top of the roof of the pole barn where my shop is at and clean the stove pipe for the wood stove. Dirty, dirty, dirty.

Also spread some more class 5 trap rock on the drive way and used the snow plow to level out the ruts by driving the tractor backwards.

I lead a very exciting life.; March 14, 2012 at 7:00 PM
The Dude said...: That is pretty exciting. My neighbor across the way had a truck load of rip and run put down today and the guy who did it also smoothed it out with what looked to be a Ford tractor. Wish I could have gotten a better look at it, but had things to do.
