Title: query about California Piggy
Post by: franksolich on December 20, 2011, 09:46:21 PM
I really dislike doing a vanity this time of the year, as there's so much else going on, but--

I'm just about done with "a primitive Christmas Carol," where hippywife Mrs. Alfred Packer meets franksolich as the Ghost of Christmases past, present, and to come, with its usual standard festive holiday ending.

A great many primitives are featured in the story.

But I noticed one's missing.  And what would a story of charity and compassion be, without including California Piggy?

Okay.

There was once a refugee from Skins's island here, who'd gotten into some sort of tussle with California Piggy on Skins's island.  It had to do with spoons.

This was, maybe, two years ago?

When searching California Piggy here, one's confronted with mountains of commentary, and besides, one's afraid of bumping into her poetic works.....about the last thing one needs, as it deadens a brain geared towards creating a literary masterpiece.

Does anybody remember, even in a vague way, what it had to do with spoons, and the name of the member here who gave us the story?  I need to narrow down my "search," as too much California Piggy can be, well, coma-inducing.

Well, it's been a while, but I did remember this flame war thread:

it seemed like the focus was on forks, but spoons are mentioned there.

Thanks; this is probably it.

What was Shell Beau's name here?

I think it may have been an aching seed spoon.

There was a CalPeg tribute thread last month, when everyone was sucking up to her for last minute stars.  XemaSab started it's own $20 fork tribute thread (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2376103) to stick it to the tired old hag but the thread was quickly locked.  I think it's funny that the DUmmies get so wrapped around the axle with their petty jealousy.

Did it go blink, blink, blink, blink?

Thanks, sir, because I didn't want to use "California Peggy" in a search.

I have to "search" enough starting this Friday, for the DUmmie awards, and didn't want to burn out.

.....and fortunately, the California Piggy wasn't on the ballot this year, so no need to write about her.  But I did need this for the annual Mrs. Alfred Packer Christmas story.

So full of charity and compassion that she has to spread it (or rather news of it) around the Lounge.

How many times has she openly said she's buying a star for another DUmmy? Lots of pictures when she got her new Prius a while back. Look at me, I'm sooooo bashful about spending $20 on a fork, so I'll just wave the money around in the Lounge as well.
