Whose that girl?


This little darling was so many shows in the 1970's that you felt she was part of the family. Her persona was such that a bunch of guys I knew had a big time crush on her. Of course she was too skinny for my tastes. I was more of Michelle Johnson type. You know a busty full bodied brunette. Oh well blame it on Brio.

Anyway she stole a dog from Sixty Grit in her one good movie. You have to see it to believe it.

Whose that girl?

I have no idea, but if she really took my dog I would see to it that she never got another Botox shot, just sayin'.

Cody Jarrett said...

She could be seen on Starsky and Hutch, The Bionic Woman and her father kicked her out of the nest once so it could be empty.

ricpic said...

Eine schone madchen. Well, semi-schone.

Cody Jarrett said...

Considering some of what she did to herself she looks pretty good.

Lindsay Lohan to the white courtesy phone, Ms. Lohan to the courtesy phone

The Dude said...

Trooper, that is some cold blooded shit right there. No wonder Crack hates your racist ass. And Burl Ives, that fellow traveler is in that mess, too.

Man, them meds be messin' with your head!

rcocean said...

Doesn't she look like Katie couric in a way?

Icepick said...

And of course these days she's a carpet muncher, as that's what Hollyweird types do when they've run out of ways to stay relevant otherwise.

ndspinelli said...

Take a wander over to Amazon and look @ the review by "Mary" posted a month ago. Leslyn doesn't check the reviews very often[obviously] but pointed it out to me today when she saw it. Thoughts?

Cody Jarrett said...

She's been with the same partner for 20-25 years, I'm not sure she became gay to keep herself relevant.

Cody Jarrett said...

Geez Nick.

It almost makes ya wanna laugh. Except it's a little beyond stupid shit on a couple of worthless blogs, you know?

Interesting choice of name though.

Icepick said...

Yeah, but she didn't come out until 2012.

blake said...

Never got her appeal. I think she left "Empty Nest" to go be crazy, didn't she?

She and her brother had a hit single. The '70s version of "YOLO" called "Go For It!"




MamaM said...

Take a wander over to Amazon...

The voice is Inga's, whether or not she actually wrote it or someone else did pretending to be her is anyone's guess. The comment is unhelpful in that it has nothing to do with the book and is not a review.

I reported it as abuse.

ndspinelli said...

MamaM, Thanks. My even tempered bride is pissed.

The Dude said...

I checked at 5 this morning didn't see it. Let me know and I will be all over it.

Cody Jarrett said...

should be a direct link, Sixty

Trooper York said...

I reported it as abuse as well. I suggest that all of us who post here follow the link and report it to Amazon as well.

I think it is definitely Inga.

Trooper York said...

I was going to use the clue;

"Buddy can you spare a fish taco?"

But I thought that would give it away.

ndspinelli said...

Thanks, folks.

Cody Jarrett said...

My best friend and business partner just texted me his daughter in law is preggers--he's gonna be a grampaw.

So I made the obligatory old man joke.

Then I realized his wife (and his son's mother) is a few months younger than I am and the joke tasted bad.

bagoh20 said...

That's definitely Inga. What a bitch!

Dust Bunny Queen said...

I reported it as abuse as well.

I suggest that the Spinelli's copy and take a screen grab of this abusive comment and proceed to determine the ISP of the person who commented on it and sue the granny panties off of her [Inga] If the comment is deleted a screen grab will preserve it. I'm quite sure it is Inga by the tone of voice and her fixation that people are stalking her on the internet.

The woman is completely deranged and should not be allowed to get away with this.

Trooper York said...

I agree DBQ. I think Mrs. Spinelli is a lawyer and I would encourage her to file since they all live in Wisconsin.

Cody Jarrett said...

I'd like to see someone take Lem by the neck and make him understand that this kind of shit is why you don't fuck around with people like her. You don't encourage her to be crazy. Maybe he can't ban her, but he can stop doing the stupid ass 'inga summoning rituals' too. And they could start deleting all comments from her. That would make her even nuttier.

But that probably has more to do with my feelings about Lem as a shit stirring enabler.

Because that's family and it's more or less real life as compared to blog comments.

And btw I reported it as abuse about two minutes after Nick posted it last night. I just figured it was understood that's what was going to happen.

ndspinelli said...

I would never marry a lawyer!!

ndspinelli said...

Dbq, Saved, thanks.

ndspinelli said...

Cody, I've said this many times. The combo of me not being Lem's cup o' tea, and his complete aversion for conflict or confrontation, makes him a sitting duck for this ilk.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Sorry to hear about what happened at Amazon. If enough people report, then it usually makes a difference.

As for the picture, she's a spritely cutie who resembles either Couric or (if I'm not risking damnation by mentioning the name) Garofalo. If her younger days had led to better later days. Talk about the latter becoming less attractive over time, and asexual - which is even in some ways more infuriating than a woman becoming a lesbian.

Anyways, the place is looking good, as is Trooper with his newest weight. Since I think my blood pressure can't drop too low, it's good to see you guys keeping up the pleasant schmoozing.

ndspinelli said...

I don't know if you remember, but she talked about being widowed by a rich doc and living in a nice house on a lake in Lake Country. Guess what?

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

I reported it as abuse too. Hey, even a hothead like me has to have (or at least recognize) some standards!

Trooper York said...

Good show Ritmo. Thank you.

Sorry Nick I was misinformed.

ndspinelli said...

Has anyone ever seen the flick, Nurse Betty? Just askin'??

ndspinelli said...

Thanks again to all. Cody and Ritmo in symaptico on a subject. Time for mimosa's!

Trooper York said...

I would not mention this at Lem's for the simple reason that it would give Inga attention and that is what she wants.

However if we all wrote an emmail to Lem to tell him to not encourage her in her madness he might stop and pause in his summoning of the beast.

However I will only do that if Nick thinks it is a good idea.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

I'm not ashamed to admit that I learn and find things interesting from Cody from time to time.

Ok, that group welcome response seems a little AA.

Trooper York said...

I much prefer "Nasty Nurses" starring the one and only Kay Parker and the winsome Misty Dawn.

Trooper York said...

Those are the Nasty Nurses we should be paying attention to these days. Just sayn'

Dust Bunny Queen said...

@ Ritmo

As you know I enjoy a good spirited debate and try not to get personal and try to avoid abuse....try :-) And when people start being this way towards me in on line debates, I just pull back and cease since there is no value in continuing. It appears that Inga (assuming it is her as it seems) is just plain crazy and vindictive. Avoid those kids of people.

I also agree with Trooper, don't make a big deal of it in other blogs.

BUT....do research how to keep her from doing this in the future and sue the living daylights out of her.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Trooper you can definitely get a decent cruise to Italy for a good deal less than 20 grand. I'd even chip in for an extra recovery fund. I know that was a few threads ago but Amazon reminded me of my perusing a book on Venice, and there we were. I've wanted to do one that could stop there, with the magic of all those masks in the city of Casanova, and the Greek Isles. A good cruise will take you to all the cities you want but perhaps not as much time as you'd like in each one. At least three days is definitely needed in Rome, and I figured if I could start there and depart from Venice, that would be ideal.

Look up Locando Orseolo and tell me that wouldn't be worth a night. I love how the ground floor windows open up to the canals.

Trooper York said...

I was just satirizing the evil blogger lady's demand for $20000 from her readers.

We are planning an Italy trip as soon as I recover fully.

I just have to get the next operation and recover from that.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

You're a good gal, DBQ. You pretty much all are. I actually regret getting a little too hot-headed lately at Lem's. Debate is fine but life for lifes sake 's better. This place is great.

As far as the nurse, I have no good advice. I don't think she's narcissist but borderline. The reason I pulled my blog actually was because of how she'd freaked me out about something. I can't even remember how or when, just how inappropriate it was. Especially for someone that age. You simply have to disengage, bore… she's liable to see just about any engagement, no matter how minimal, as a challenge. It's hard to believe and really sad. I guess that's how I've had to treat it.

I don't even really mind or get anxious about her anymore, but I do remember what that took.

It's really the only answer. As my dad told me in my grad school days (when I took great delight in aggravating a sociopathic idiot living below me whom both I and the building manager wanted to throw out), some people just have way too much mental energy to think of (nasty) things to do to you.

He said it in that slow, pausing way that let me know no further words were necessary.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Good luck on your next operation and recuperation. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you. And definitely enjoy the sun and relaxation once you're on the seas again. I know it sounds cliche to mention Tuscany, but figured it would be nice to know if you've got any specific sites planned.

I think I got the satire on the EBL fundraiser (I really never check out her site anymore so much of this now goes over my head), but figured even a dinner on my behalf for you and the lady would be worth it - for me at least. You're a friend in my book, not a telethon cause. Ha!

Trooper York said...

Hey I don't think any normal person takes it personally. It is the really trouble ones like Inga, Titus, J, Cedarford and others of that ilk who lose it on a regular basis.

We can debate vigorously and still be civil the next day. Although upon reflection sometimes it is better to apologize for a cheap shot or two what came out in the heat of the moment.

Someone like Titus is incapable of that. Witness how he is attacking Chickie today out of the blue for no reason today just to stir up shit. Those are the types that you can not engage in any way. It is just not worth it.

ndspinelli said...

Trooper, Great idea, thanks a lot!

Trooper York said...

Thanks Ritmo. As I have often said here you are a good guy and we all can give each other a break now and then.

That is what differentiates us from the politicians.

Ted Cruz and Nancy Pelosi could never do that.

ndspinelli said...

Trooper, The Costa Concordia cruise is a beautiful one! I saw a doc on Netflix about that crash. It is now being reported Capt. Schettino's girlfriend was on the bridge when the accident occurred. On her knees, but not praying. This doc has great audio of the crew screaming @ the Captain who had abandoned ship way before all passengers had a chance. What a fucking idiot, coward.

ndspinelli said...

That ship went down just south of where we'll be next month. If the winds weren't just right and blowing the ship back into shore, a thousand people would have dies, instead of the 30 or so.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Nick, you're absolutely evil!

There are companies that know how to hire captains who don't get distracted close to the shoals while inviting their friends for a tour or to take the controls. Luckily for me… ;-) Also, I swim well. Still. (I think).

Anyway, when that happened a charming 82-year old paisan (charming when he's not casually blowing loose gas out his rectum), joked with me about it. His parents are actually from the east, south of Venice. I haven't been since but don't want to let that sad episode spoil the future.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Well, not just a telethon cause, anyway. I hope that didn't come out wrong. It was a nice thing that Nick organized and I was glad it offered a way to help out.

Trooper York said...

Inga is very busy these days.

It is wise to not engage or acknowledge her in any way.

But everyone should do what they think is best.

Palladian said...

Reported the comment as well. Vile.

bagoh20 said...

One of the reasons I never married is that as unfair as it is, I always imagined my wife would turn into an Inga even just a little bit. That fatal attraction shit scares me to death.

bagoh20 said...

The other reason is I'm saving myself for Palladian.

Palladian said...

♡♡♡

rcocean said...

Seems like 3 of our long-term regulars have gone nuts: first Titus, then Crack, now Inga.

As I said before, I feel sorry about Crack. As for Titus/Inga I stopped reading them years ago.

rcocean said...

I reported the comment as abuse too. I don't know what Amazon's policy is. On some sites its all computer driven. No human being actually looks at the post in question before deletion.

Trooper York said...

Inga is totally insane and is posting up a storm at Lem's right now.

I am ignoring her while still smacking around the TSA who I hate.

Darcy said...

Wow. I guess that's Inga. But I honestly would not put it past a few more people who apparently carry grudges.

Bagoh/Palladian - that was so kewt. :)

Hi Ritmo.

Darcy said...

I also reported it as abuse. "Stalkerish."

Darcy said...

So I signed up for the 52 story run/climb in April. Chicago. Come cheer me on and we'll have a TY meetup (after I shower, lol).

ndspinelli said...

Darcy, I worked in the Sears Tower back in the 80's. I worked on the 54th floor, which meant an express elevator to 52 and then change to a local to 54. Is this race in that building, WETF they call it now?

ndspinelli said...

Ritmo, It was an honor to do and you are a generous man.

blake said...

Troop, a little Kay Parker for you...

Darcy said...

@Nick
It's called the Hustle up the Hancock. So the Hancock building, and both races end at the observation level. I've never been in the Sears Tower and would love to check out the top of that too. Maybe while I'm there in April!

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

I left this comment for Merde:

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...
Meade, the voice of experience there! Your rapier wit is like your pencil dick in a Portuguese water dog.

While I occasionally disagree with Crack, I like him. I always have. You on the other hand have shown yourself to be a person of low character and cruel meanness. I have contempt for you, but most of the time I do not think of you at all.

November 2, 2013 at 10:58 AM


I know, I know, I should follow the Priest's advice in the Exorcist and not engage him in conversation (the same goes with Titus and Inge), but sometimes I cannot resist.

MamaM said...

That fatal attraction shit scares me to death.

With good reason. Here's a hint. Women over 60 who are fixated on making "cute" comments about their "panties" and using them to flirt, are not a good bet. There's a high chance of them having unresolved abuse issues from childhood involving inappropriate touch or severe discipline which can lead to some interesting kink or cover rivers of frozen rage. Tap into that with some heat and it's "Katy, bar the door!"

Hey Palladian, Did you happen to see my post of "My Big Gay Wedding? At the end, your artwork gets a shout out. I finally got around to framing and hanging it. Proving that Palladian hangs prominently
at my house.

ndspinelli said...

Hancock is a better view, on a clear day you can see Gary!! Seriously, it is a better view. Chris Farley died in the Hancock Building. But I'm sure you'll be just fine. Northwestern Hospital is 2 blocks away.

Darcy said...

LOL. Thanks, Nick. I plan on surviving.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

That was nice of you to do, Bags.

Hi Darcy -

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

I considered commenting on the LAX thread, (actually did), and then thought, nah. Saw what Yngwie Inga was going for and figured, life's too short. It's a tragedy and everyone acknowledges it as such. There's a lot of things bigger than politics and arguments. If Chickie can like RHCP as much as me then there's harmony in the universe.

I spent the morning listening to and playing their songs and videos of Frusciante describing the awesome spirits and poetry he can discover in nearly everything he touches. Videos with hundreds of thumbs up and almost zero thumbs downs, when even the most popular conventional videos usually get at least a few dozen thumbs down.

Some people just have a way of seeing the goodness you find you can make out of nearly anything if you want and even if you don't, you can still find it a good lesson for the spirit.

Palladian said...

bagoh20, !!!

I was wondering how the wedding went. Excellent!

And cool to see my drawing there too.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

That's right. I thought I'd remembered Chris Farley died in Chicago (there's at least one great thing to come out of WI, no offense to anyone else). I remembered seeing him on a broadcast weeks or a month before wearing outrageously styled (for him) glasses with purple lenses, getting crazy with ladies and the like. My memory wants to say he'd been spending a lot of time in Vegas but unfortunately that time's becoming hazy in my recollection.

ndspinelli said...

Ritmo, His funeral was @ a Catholic Church on the westside of Madison. To their credit, SNL folks were there, Spade, Rock, Sandler. Farley's old man weighed over 350lbs.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

No doubt. Those guys knew they'd lost an incredibly talented physical comic partner but I'm pretty sure the sadness they had over losing a friend was true, too. Farley had a way of making people love him. It was sad to hear about all the stray prostitutes hanging on in the background to the end and how he thought no one really liked him.

The Dude said...

I made the 15th comment here, went away, and came back to find 76 comments. How can that be?

Now I see.

I think Chris Farley was the global warming of comedians - only prostitutes believed that bullshit in the end, and they only believe because they are being paid to do so.

kalmia said...

I'm de-cloaking here to say that I also reported it as abuse. The commenter is clearly unbalanced, and her comment is simply beyond the pale. It's so outrageous that I can't believe she would publish it on such a public forum. I downloaded Leslyn Spinelli's novel to my Kindle and thought it was excellent. Just want to also say that I enjoy all of your comments here immensely.

ndspinelli said...

kalmia, Welcome and thanks much.

chickelit said...

Nick, I reported the Amazon comment as abuse.

chickelit said...

rcocean said...
Seems like 3 of our long-term regulars have gone nuts: first Titus, then Crack, now Inga.

What if they're all somehow related, like three ben wa balls on the same string?

The Dude said...

Only Inger Mengele has balls.

Dammit - quit settin' 'em up.

I really need to let this go.

*Cleansing breath* better...

I think my chakras are out of alignment...

ndspinelli said...

Thanks to all again.

Palladian said...

What if they're all somehow related, like three ben wa balls on the same string?

There's no balls at all in that group.

Palladian said...

And what if it was Laurence Meade who made the comments on Spinelli's wife's Amazon book page?

Palladian said...

I'm not saying I think it was Laurence Meade, I'm just speculating about motives.

The Dude said...

If he had a job his wife could write the book she was born to write.

Dammit!

Palladian said...

If he had a job his wife could write the book she was born to write.

Don't you remember, writing a book is easy! It's just too booooring for high-powered intellects like conlaw profs.

Darcy said...

Haha...Sixty. :P

The Dude said...

Hey, I made Darcy laugh. My day, which had merely been wonderful is now marvelous.

Darcy said...

'S wonderful! 'S marvelous...

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Darcy looks pretty serious in her new photo. But it makes me think, You… Look… Maaaaarvelous!

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

If the comment is completely unhinged it is probably Inga Dinga. Meade is not too far behind her, but there is a difference.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

Darcy, your new pic is serious, but it is a good picture.

Darcy said...

Haha. I enjoyed that, Ritmo. Wasn't he parodying Fernando Lamas? I enjoyed reading about him in Esther Williams' autobiography.

Darcy said...

And thank you, Evi and Ritmo.

Is Navy beating ND? Oh, please, please, yessss.

ndspinelli said...

Darcy is a fellow ND hater. I had to work w/ a bunch of "Domers" in Chicago. The ones who went undergrad and law school @ ND call themselves "Double Domers." I called them "Double Douchebags."

ndspinelli said...

ND just went ahead 38-34. Navy has the ball @ the 50 w/ 3:38 left.

The Dude said...

I had a coworker who was an ND grad - he played football for them. Great guy, great stories. Bunch of h8ers around here...

Darcy said...

Hehe. Yessir. One of my favorite teams is always whoever is beating ND.

Darcy said...

Not that Navy isn't a lovely, lovely team all by itself.

There. Football and "lovely, lovely" in one sentence.

Darcy said...

Aww. Crap.

chickelit said...

Is it my imagination or has AA bulked up a little, at least in the face. See the latest dog video--Ares.
I hope she's well.

ndspinelli said...

My wife is a scrapbooker. She is working on our daughter's wedding from a year ago. I was just looking @ wedding photos online of a woman I know who was MOB. Lots of photos, but NOT ONE of her. So sad.

The Dude said...

Mob like Mario Cuomo?

Darcy said...

I noticed that too, El Pollo.

ndspinelli said...

Mother of the Bride you uncultured redneck.

blake said...

I'd probably be better off being beaten by Navy than trying to make Garage see reason.

Yet I persist.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Oh shoot! I realize Chickie's using "AA" to mean you-know-who but earlier upthread I used it to mean Alcoholics Anonymous. I hope no one was confused. Oh well!

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

On second thought, maybe there's a cosmic connection between those abbreviations.

Alcoholics Eponymous.

Or Egononymous.

The Dude said...

You mean besides you?

TTBurnett said...

BTW, the politics of Amazon reviews resembles Syria, but the UN hasn't shown up yet to take the poison away.

I have a friend who's another self-published author. Her book did fairly well. It's a nail-biting, stay-up-all-night, must-read. But it's a memoir, not fiction. What a life. Anyway, she's developed a few haters along the way, including her own son, who, in fact, has mental issues. She gets on fine with her daughter. Well, her son, his SO, and some of their friends all contrived to "damn" her book with bad reviews. ("Damning" plays was an old thing where you would have a kind of anti-claque in the audience to boo and throw vegetables) The reviews were a huge struggle for my friend. Amazon was kind of caught in the middle and pretty useless. She contemplated legal action, but she's in it for the money, and paying a lawyer would be more expensive than any lost revenue from bad reviews. The problem eventually petered out, and the overwhelming positive reviews went back to being the norm.

MamaM said...

The abusive comment posted on Amazon under the review section for "Taken for Granted" appears to have been removed.

The Dude said...

That seems to be the case. Good job, Troop community.

Looking forward to Leslyn's next book - that woman can write, what can I say.

Michael Haz said...

Hey everyone! I'm late to this thread, sorry. I checked Amazon and it looks like the negative comment has been removed. Nice work!

@Darcy - if you aren't going to be otherwise occupied after the climb in Chicago, will a post- race meet-up would be with the Wisconsin contingent be possible?

Michael Haz said...

Hmmmm. I see that I need to re-read a few chapters of Syntax For Dummies this morning.

The Dude said...

Sin tax? Boy howdy! I have that plus penalties and interest. Well, not as much interest as I once had, but I digress...

ndspinelli said...

Thank you everyone w/ special thanks from our bride. Private sector website v public sector website! Inga/Allie Oop/Mary/Annie has found another venue to spread her craziness and neediness. On her first day of commenting she brought out Turley to warn about personal shit and banning if needed. She's so fucking stupid and crazy she went over there and started talking about Althouse. Those 2 profs hate each other. Turley has only intervened twice in the time I've been there[~2 years], last night was the second time. Great fun.

ndspinelli said...

That should be "my bride." And Haz, we would be up for a trip to Chicago, depending when in April, I get back ~15th.

Darcy said...

Hi Michael! Yes, I would be very interested in a meetup.

The race is April 13th. Darn it, too early for Nick.
