The primitives finally noticed.

Anyone heard from Lucinda?

She hasn't posted since July 8th. I know she takes down time periodically, but this is an unusually long break for her.

1. I was thinking the same thing. It's been a while.

<<<thinks dear old sweet Lu's gone.  Forever.

<<<had nothing to do with.

They didn't notice the hookworm-infested Lucinda was gone.

The thread slayer, DUmmy cbayer, just noticed we were talking about it.

The guilty proclaim their innocence first and loudest.  Not accusing anyone, just sayin'.

I am missing several Dummies.  Any body heard from LadyFreedomReturns or Locutos ?

Nada.

I think for the convenience of primitives, Skins should post one of those magnetic boards commonly found in offices, where there's a list of names, and then columns indicating "in," "at meeting," "out for lunch," "off for the day," whatnot, and one moves a marker to the proper column.

And a "back at" or "will return at" in which one erasable-markers the date and time one'll be around again.

She probably got tired of the forum being overtaken by the lunatic twins of Fizzy,the fat,head shaver and poor addled Judy with her glop in a pan pie shop.

LFR hasn't posted for about six weeks.  She's probably back in love with Dream boat Dave and is too embarrassed to show her face at the DUmp.

LocutOs hasn't posted anything since Feb/Mar.  He was in a dark place.

Skimmer gave LocoNuts the "Movies" forum he had whined about for months.

The lunatic made a single post and disappeared.

The crushing pressure of being the boss of a DUmp forum was more than he could bear, and put him into a "dark place".

LocoNuts is probably still alive up there in Vancouver.

I'm less optimistic about the survival of his co-nut Dennis the Menace.

New thread with a mention of Lucinda. Still nobody commenting on her absence. Ms. Piggy, however, took this opportunity to remind the primitives that she has a beach house.

What's for Dinner, Thurs., Aug. 28, 2014


I have a bumper crop of tomatoes, but the RG and I are going to our favorite Portuguese restaurant in the Ironbound tonight. I am looking forward to it as we have not been there for awhile.

Plus it's a beautiful day and a beautiful evening is predicted. Plus I am excited about school starting next week. I love my job, at least in the first part of the semester. 

BTW, everyone, I sent an e-mail to Lucinda to ask how she is.

13. It's the end of the season at the beach house...so I'm eating whatever

odds and sods are in the fridge and pantry. I'll go foraging for fish tomorrow.

Just made egg salad with curry paste and mayo and a mango yogurt....holy crap that was good!

Yeah, I wonder what the New Jersey definition of "beach" is; it must also include points way inland.

[franksolich]

Well, the cooking and baking primitives are still looking for dear old sweet Lu.

On another note, I have not heard back from Lucinda. Does anyone have her phone number? I'll call if you do.

<<<knows what happened to dear old sweet Lu, but that's for franksolich to know, and the primitives to find out.

Now, dear old sweet Lu was an improvement over the gone-away nasty mean vile hippywife primitive Mrs. Alfred Packer, but one has to remember that just about any primitive would've been an improvement over Mrs. Alfred Packer.

Under dear old sweet Lu's leadership, the cooking and baking forum, once the liveliest, most animated of the "little" forums on Skins's island, grievously declined to where it now draws barely more traffic than the bird-watchers' forum. 

This was because dear old sweet Lu didn't do anything to keep it that way, hardly ever posting an original topic, hardly ever engaging in discussion with her fellow primitives, and taking days off, long vacations.  Looking at herself as the queen bee, apparently she thought posting-and-commenting, which is work, was for drones to do, not her.

And so over time, some of the most active primitives in the forum, noticing the boss wasn't lifting a finger, figured, "Well, if dear old sweet Lu's to lazy to post and comment, why should I?" and wandered away.

So the loss of dear old sweet Lu's no loss at all.

Now, perhaps it's time for Judy grasswire to don that funny hat and cape, jam a pipe into her mouth, and with magnifying glass in hand, Sherlock-Holmes-like get on the trail of finding out what happened to dear old sweet Lu.

It's a long trail, but because I'm a nice guy, I'll help her out, get her started.

Judy grasswire needs to check out primitives formerly active in the cooking-and-baking forum, who'd been really happy and enthusiastic about hanging there, but who've since wandered away, disgruntled because dear old sweet Lu wasn't keeping it up, keeping it stimulated.

One reason dead DUmmies are so entertaining is their causes of death.

It's like a constant stream of Darwin Awards over there.

But ol' Lu may be their first hookworm fatality.

Nope, doesn't.

[franksolich]

Nope, doesn't.

Thank you; I didn't think it did.

[franksolich]

Hmmmm.

They're afraid of drawing the attention of franksolich.

[franksolich]

They're afraid of drawing the attention of franksolich.

Well, because of that, I'm going to make the absence of dear old sweet Lu a major part of the next chapter of "the rabid terrapin primitive visits franksolich."

If the primitives would be more open and honest about things, we wouldn't pay a dime's worth of attention to them.

Her valiant battle against  parasitic infestation should make good reading.

I think it's incumbent upon the cooking and baking primitives to announce what happened to dear old sweet Lu--after all, she's one of theirs--and yes, they do know what happened, just as a much as franksolich does.

<<<knows what happened to dear old sweet Lu.

But if they're not going to say, I guess I will, in the next chapter of "the rabid terrapin primitive visits franksolich."

[franksolich]

It's Day 62 of dear old sweet Lu being absent, and so I guess it's okay to spill the beans now.

This is from "the rabid terrapin primitive visits franksolich":

.....“But that’s not what really happened; that’s not why dear old sweet Lu isn’t around.

“It didn’t take a medical professional to figure it out either; she betrayed all the symptoms of being afflicted with hookworm: laziness, lethargy, indolence, shiftlessness, sloth, apathy, lassitude.

“Now, hookworm’s essentially extinct in the south these days, mainly due to the exertions of private individuals, private money, and private endeavors--no costly governmental involvement and interference at all--about a hundred years ago.

“But nothing’s ever 100.0% wiped out; usually only 99.9%, if that much.

“Dear old sweet Lu lives in a remote, isolated pocket of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it’s possible hookworm’s still there.

“However, dear old sweet Lu won’t get it treated, so that she’s lively and active again.

“You see, dear old sweet Lu is one of these older women who like to be considered ‘elegant.’

“And to get the hookworm properly diagnosed and then treated, she’d have to lift her dress so a physician can look up inside her rectal aperture.”.....

.....I’m sure that dear old sweet Lu.....is, uh, bashful about certain things, and doesn’t like the idea of having to lift her dress so that a medical professional can look up inside there.

And so when she goes to see her physician about her tiredness, her weakness, her inability to get anything done, she purposely steers his attention to her stomach or her blood or her heart or her lungs or her lack of sleep or her eyes…..just so he don’t think to look there.

Never mind that medical professionals are used to such sights, and that dear old sweet Lu’s rectal aperture can’t possibly be much different than anything they haven’t already seen hundreds of times before.  And never mind that as long as he doesn’t think to look up in there, dear old sweet Lu’s problem’s never going to be cured......

.....“So--there you have it, there it is,” I told the rabid terrapin primitive.

“She has all the symptoms of hookworm, and the symptoms point unanimously directly to…..hookworm.

“She can get her heart checked, her blood checked, her stomach checked, her sleeping patterns checked, her liver checked, her eyes checked, her whatever else checked, all she wants, but unless she gets her rectal aperture checked, dear old sweet Lu’s real problem‘s not going to be detected, and she‘s never going to get well.

“But since when has a primitive ever paid attention to franksolich?

“I kindly suggest dear old sweet Lu ask around, on Skins’s island, about the fates of those primitives who ignored the advice and counsel of franksolich.”.....
