cooking and baking primitive shouts out to Chris_

Oh my.

In a cooking and baking thread brought here yesterday, our esteemed colleague Chris_ had made a derogatory remark about lentil bread.

<<has no idea what lentil bread is.

Lentil Loaf

It is very good and HEALTHY as well. It has taste, it does not taste like shoe leather. I'd rather eat healthy than to eat gobs of margarine and a whole bag of cheetos while posting on the internet about what OTHER people are cooking. Shove that twinkie down... it's getting old.
 
Oh, and mashed pots? It's shorthand for M-a-s-h-e-d P-o-t-a-t-o-s. Shall I say it slower? You know, dumb it down for you?
 
Idiots!

** This post is intended for dip shit lurkers. FYI.

The deal about "mashed pots," I forget who brought that up here.

Anyway, brand-new campfire, no primitive responses yet.

Since the cooking and baking primitives will probably come and read this thread, this, from another cooking and baking thread (about lemongrass) that they might've missed earlier:

Quote
I've been watching the cooking and baking forum for, uh, some time now, and there's problems with it.

It's important because the cooking and baking forum isn't just another small forum; it used to be a gem, a jewel, for Skins's island.

Not so any more.

If one looks at the "title of discussion thread" for the forum, and goes over to the "last reply" column, one notices that sometimes there's hours in between primitive responses.

There was a time, not so long ago, when there were only minutes, if not seconds, in between responses.

Traffic's down, way down, for the cooking and baking forum.  The way things are going, within a few months, the deaf and hard of hearing forum, a champion at collecting cobwebs, is going to be busier than the cooking and baking forum.

The problem seems to be in dear old sweet Lu, the hostess of the forum.

Nothing personal against dear old sweet Lu; she's been a definite improvement over the now-gone hate-filled hippywife primitive Mrs. Alfred Packer. 

But dear old sweet Lu's no leader; she needs to voluntarily and with good graces step aside, abdicating her role in favor of another primitive with more drive, more ambition, more energy, to get the cooking and baking forum corking again.

I suppose if my fellow alum Skins is hesitant about firing dear old sweet Lu, he could at least set some goals for her; for example, he could demand that she write more, and not just title-lines of campfires.  She shouldn't be merely asking the other primitives what's for supper and leaving it at that; she should be describing to them what she fixed for supper, and what bewhiskered Bill thought of it.

If I were Skins, I would set some modest goals for Lu if she wishes to remain hostess; something along the lines of a minimum of twenty campfires lit by her each week, at least half of which each should be sixteen paragraphs or longer, so as to incite primitive interest and involvement.

I would also insist Lu be present in the forum seven days a week, just as moderators here are; as it is, she takes a day or two off once in a while, compelling another primitive to make up for her sloughing off.

Dear old sweet Lu asked for the job, and she got it.  Having gotten it, she should do it.

Finally, again if I were Skins, I'd demand that Lu contact former prolific posters of the forum, reminding them of their past valuable contributions to traffic and insight therein, and begging them to help her out by resuming posting there.  Getting the sparkling old dude active again, for example, would draw traffic.

If Skins and dear old sweet Lu don't do something, the cooking and baking forum--once a gem, remember--is likely to slowly wither away, evaporating.

You know, it's pathetic, the heights from which the cooking and baking forum has fallen.

I can't tell how much of the inventory for the DUmpster they've provided us for diversion and amusement; all I can say is that it's a lot.

And on Skins's island itself, the cooking and baking forum was known as the liveliest, the most animated, of all the "small forums"--in fact, it shouldn't have ever been referred to as a "small" forum, because it was pretty big.

Primitives were jumping into the kitchen all the time, at all hours, to post and comment.

.....especially on autumn Saturday evenings, such as this one.

But the past couple of years, the forum's gone downhill, what with the departure (or lack of interest) of PoP {primitives of prominence).  Of course, some of them die, like the late Tangerine LaBamba of immortal fame, and others of them quit because their husbands tell them to, like the unmourned mean nasty bitter vile old hippywife primtive, but it's really more of a case of lack of primitive interest.

Inspect this, for example, the column showing "last reply."



That is pathetic, a primitive showing up once every two or three hours, when the place used to always be busy, traffic-jammed, congested.

I blame the demise on dear old sweet Lu, who doesn't seem to understand that "leadership" means "to inspire."  She never says much, she doesn't hang around much, she doesn't get engaged with the other primitives much.

And so the primitives quite naturally come to the reasonable conclusion, "Well, if dear old sweet Lu can be lazy, so can I."

You know, dear sweet old Lu should take lessons from watching her fellow primitive, my good pal Manny, the "Manny Goldstein" primitive.

<<<am in awe of old friend Manny.

Manny writes nearly all of his own stuff, and after posting it, hangs around to get engaged with the primitives responding to it.  He interacts with his audience.

As a result, his campfires burn big, it usually taking half an hour to scroll down the list of comments, and they burn long, staying on the front page for ages.

My inspiration Manny knows how to attract, and hold an audience.  A very large audience.

Dear sweet old Lu can't just sit there like a queen bee, doing nothing.

Notice, please, the DUmpster is more active than the next nine largest forums put together.

Now, dear old sweet Lu should ask herself why this is.

And finally, dear old sweet Lu should think about this:

Again, current and former moderators of the DUmpster in red.

Dear sweet old Lu should see by now that moderators, by being involved, by being engaged, by being sociable, with members, makes a forum popular--and active--and animated--because the moderators practice leadership not by sitting on their asses, but by inspiring.

Oh shit.  I don't think dear sweet old LU's going to "get it."

I did a quick google search.  There are a few people who have used the term "Mashed Pots," but most of those seem to be from calorie tracking sites with self entered entries.  I did find an interesting Urban Dictionary definition though.  "Off my mashed pots" is a slang term for being under the influence of drugs.  Suddenly the DUmmies use of the term doesn't seem so strange...

Thanks; apparently the Texas primitive is a member of weight-loss sites too.  I dunno, but it looks that way, if she's using their stupid slang.

There's hardly any spectacle more ridiculous than seeing ostensibly grown-up adults in their 50s and 60s still using baby-talk, such as "pots" or "veggies" [shudder] or "tummy" or "yummy" or "foodie" or "lappie," rather than their appropriate names.  It's just so retarded.

It's like the primitives never grew up; it's like a near-senior-citizen dressing, acting, and talking as a 3-year-old little girl in pigtails.  It's grotesque.
