Her Ladyship Lu fell down on the job again; someone else had to do it.

What's for Dinner, Mon., April 22
Greetings, everyone,
I'm making white bean soup recipe from this cookbook:
On the side, a big green salad with red, yellow, and green peppers, cucumbers, celery, and homemade French dressing.
Fruit salad for dessert, along with an apple cinnamon cookie.
Pro'lly a little white wine.

1. Tonight it's stuffed baked portabello mushrooms, large salad and garlic bread!
Desert will be some cinnamon honey muffins I made earlier today.
Your soup sounds wonderful! I've never had white bean soup before! Enjoy!
You know, something needs done about the cooking and baking forum; Lu's gotta go.
Of course, much of the current unaction in that forum is because the cbayer primitive and her eccentric English husband are on a road trip, but even when the cbayer was around, bravely pulling far more than her own weight, the cooking and baking forum was barely dragging along.

This is of paramount importance--a healthy, vibrant, active cooking and baking forum--because it's from that forum which Top DUmmies and PoP (primitives of prominence) first emerged.
There's notable exceptions, of course--Atman, the big guy in Bellevue, the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher--who came into stardom through other forums on Skins's island, but on the whole, it seems at least half of the featured primitives were first spotted in the cooking and baking forum, even if they might've gained their fame later in another forum.
I consider the cooking and baking forum the same as that one drugstore on a street-corner in Hollywood, where many starlets were first discovered working as soda jerks.

There's no doubt that old Lu is an improvement over the mean bitter hateful hippywife primitive, Mrs. Alfred Packer, who left because hippyhubby Wild Bill was jealous of the attention she was giving the primitives, attention he thought he deserved.
But still, better could've been done, a different hostess of the forum.
Her Ladyship Lu shows up once a day, for about two minutes, to light a "what's for supper?" campfire, and then leaves, because she's too high and mighty to socialize with, engage with, the other primitives.
If any of the moderators of the DUmpster had a tenth of the aloofness and standoffishness old Lu has, we'd be chopped liver, not moderators any more. Flung out onto the streets.
Of course, old Lu is also hostess of the sorcery and witchcraft forum on Skins's island, but she hardly shows up there either.
A typical Democrat, old Lu; wants the high title but not the responsibilities.

The ideal hostess would be the cbayer primitive, who
really cares, and who enthusiastically intercourses with the other primitives, but she got so much flak from ungrateful primitives when she was moderator on the old DU, that one wouldn't blame her if she turned it down.
If any primitive knows what asses the primitives are, the cbayer primitive does.

One recalls that when the new DU was being set up, the now-mausoleumed HopeHoops primitive vigorously campaigned for the job as host of the cooking and baking forum; greeted every primitive, shook every primitive hand, smooched every primitive cheek, in his campaign.
But as he wasn't part of the hippywife clique, he never stood a chance.
Well, the HopeHoops primitive was kicked off of Skins's island for referring to women's personal items in unflattering terms. He did come back under another name, though, and tried to seduce the subway cat, the undergroundpanther primitive, and got banned again.
Given the languid state of the cooking and baking forum, I think my fellow alum Skins should consider letting the HopeHoops primitive come back, so as to reinvigorate the forum; he could probably even persuade the subway cat to hang around there, which would surely enliven it.
