The Bostonian Drunkard, having embarrassed and humiliated the whole of Skins's island, left for a while.
But he used a pal, the
kaput primitive, to post things for him.

Just Don't Tell 'Em You Know Me

You thought you was the cool fool,
Never could do no wrong.
You had everything sewn up tight.
How come you lay awake all night long?
Just one thing I ask of you,
Just one thing for me.
Please forget you knew my name,
My darling Sugaree.
Shake it, shake it Sugaree,
Just don't tell 'em you know me ...
- Robert Hunter
You have to wonder how many congressfolk are wandering the springtime byways of Washington, DC with that old song running through their minds. Probably not too many, in truth; the Grateful Dead don't appear to have gained much of a purchase with officeholders on the Hill, particularly on the Republican side of things. If they did manage to hear it somewhere, in a bar or flowing from the radio of the car next to them at a stoplight, you can bet more than a few would stop cold and cock an ear.
Just don't tell 'em you know me. Damned right.

franksolich checked; no, there wasn't "much more" at the link, much less an apology from the Bostonian Drunkard to the masses, for his having been such an assinine ass.
It's a big bonfire, sample comments:

6. Wow, I want some of what you're smoking ...
I know Pitt too - have for a few years - and let's just say it's not something I gush about.

8. Then I sense you may be a bit on the delusional side
when you say you have known him for years.....Maybe you have knowledge of Will Pitt or something on the acquaintance level....but not actually "know him", call him a friend.....and return the kindness as friends always do.
Maybe I got the wrong message from your post? Feel free to clarify for me.

10. As a "Liberal Nurse" I assume you must have very "intimate knowledge" so, indeed, I must go with what you say.

36. Better shut up or she'll taser you.
The bonfire's pretty much like the above, the primitives alternating between adulating the Bostonian Drunkard, and accurately appraising the Bostonian Drunkard.
It's well worth reading in its entirety; lots and lots of primitives we're familiar with, on both sides.
The liberalnurse primitive, who works for a jail and uses language that longshoremen haven't even invented, is fondly remembered for some of her antics during Doug's ex-wife's really stupid prank three years ago.
Like the time the guy with both his legs amputated, living in a wheelchair on $530 per month, stood up in indignation upon learning that his donation of $250 had not gone for what it was supposed to have gone.
The liberalnurse primitive ripped into the crippled guy really bad, every other word being an obscenity.
The liberalnurse primitive hasn't been around Skins's island much the past couple of years, but next to the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher, she's probably the meanest, hardest, crudest piece of excresence there.
Just really hard and coarse and mean. The liberalnurse primitive is married; one suspects her husband uses condoms made of cast-iron when they bounce around in the sack, so he won't hurt himself.
