Well, a search for tunes with "Deborah" in the title turned up some interesting, if odd songs, so here is a harmless ditty with the great Bakithi Kumalo on bass.
Will Epic highlight this text?
Just wonderin'
This works, too.
My oh my, can Renee Fleming sing! Damn, that is beautiful!
I'm guessing she's gettin' stuff done. Good on her.
I think Haz is back. Yay!
Deborah is fine, just taking a break.
(I contacted her on something else and heard from her this morning)
Deborah's saving herself only to return
And ricpic's soul stirring offerings spurn.
I'm guessing she's gettin' stuff done.
Not my first guess when someone who's been regularly posting and commenting as a blog contributor stops doing so. My speculations tend to go toward the doom and gloom of an emergency or serious health concern, so it's good to hear otherwise.
Michael Haz left a note which was appreciated along with a link that was enjoyed.
With regard to "spurn", it turns out there's a kick to that action:
Origin: 1250–1300; (v.) Middle English spurnen, Old English spurnan; cognate with Old Saxon, Old High German spurnan, Old Norse sporna to kick; akin to Latin spernere to put away; (noun) Middle English: a kick, contemptuous stroke, derivative of the noun
Does anyone here care about what has happened to Pastafarian? Or Palladian? When was the last time either of them was heard from?
Don't you have some shorts to press, Meade?
Remember that time when someone was wondering what ever happened to Meade?
Yeah, me neither.
Where is Freeman Hunt?
Oh! She's over at Althouse.
Sickening the way you are still going after Palladian, lawn bitch.
Does Althouse's son know how "hostile" you are to homosexuals?
I wonder how he feels about some worthless never was sponging off his mother and eating into his inheritance.
Airdog cares. Airdog is a caring person. Please love Airdog for his caring goodness.
Which one did you talk to, good caring Airdog? Palladian? Or Pastafarian?
TOP Toad..what difference does it make? I am in regular communication with one of them and you are not. Neither would deign to talk to you anyway. That's because you are a cowardly, lying, spiteful piece of shit. Why do you persist?
BTW... I don't "report" to you Grifter Boy. You want me to answer, have your wife email me courteously and I'll answer her.
"what difference does it make?"
Seems like we've heard that line from someone somewhere before. Oh well, at least we know that either Palladian or Pastafarian is still alive enough to talk on the phone to Airdog with regularity. That's 1/2 of a relief.
Thanks, Airdog, good and caring person!
TOP Toad ...glad to be of service. You amuse me with your "we know"...who is the "we" of which you speak? All your friends here at Lem's? Too cute.
Hey TOP Toad ...you want to explain what you mean by "good and caring person?"
I mean since you won't just grow up and go home "danger man." You so funny.
What is the backstory of the "danger man" comments?
I assume it is yet another reason to mock Cincinnati's missing lawn idiot, but I don't think I ever heard that particular story.
What is the backstory of the "danger man" comments?
Just a guess
PMJ...periodically, TOP Toad waxes all tough guy and refers to others being afraid of risk and danger...not that he has experienced any, of course, just because he imagines it.
It is one of the steps in his self-righteous Grifter routine, which usually ends with him suggesting he can help someone out financially from his vast commodities investments, yada yada.
Little mother fucker accused one of us of being a con artist and grifter...grifting being something he knows very well himself. I mean consider all you know of the TOP Toad ...and how he is set up.
"his vast commodities investments"
Good and caring Airdog reads my comments! He likes me. Good and caring Airdog really like me!
But I don't think of them as "investments", good kind Airdog. It's really more like gambling. For instance, from mid-Feb until May 9, I had a profit in my corn futures trades of over 50K.
It looks like the market may have turned now and in just 3 days, from May 12 to May 15, I had to give back 10K. Looks like it's back to mowing lawns for me until I can put together enough $ for another contract. Question is - which way is the market heading? Should I take a short position on a November corn contract? I'm thinking - sidelines for awhile. Too much volatility.
You, good kind Airdog?
You're "short" alright.
Oh, good kind Airdog, that was a good one. LO friction' L!
Hey Air, could you tell us which P. you talked regularly to on the phone? Just so we know which one we should be worrying about. Thanks in advance, Airdog, you good kind caring person you.
Bragging about your wealth is a new low, even for you, Meade.
What wealth?
TOP Toad ...I already answered that question. Let me be clarify it: None of your business.
You worried about one of the "P's" here's a solution for you...put out$750 via Paypal to me and A.) I will match it then B.) I'll make sure it all gets to one of the individuals you are oh so concerned about. I will forward you the receipts for both of our contributions, just so you know I matched yours.
Oh, wait...I bet you have an excuse why you can't do that. Right?
You all mouth not action right? Your "concern" is kind of shallow..innit?
"For instance, from mid-Feb until May 9, I had a profit in my corn futures trades of over 50K."
Ari please don't waste your time. You are playing into his hands by answering him.
Let him go back to rearranging the deck chairs and shaving hobbit feet. It's not worth your time.
You call that wealth, Ravel?
Hey, good Airdog — which P needs $1,500? I'd rather skip the middleman (you) and send a donation directly to the needy individual (him).
That reminds me — has everyone here made their donation to Lem for keeping this blog up? He has a PayPal button up there and also an Amazon portal. I give him about 10 cents per comment I post. You?
Troop...you're right, I just had some time to kill and he's a prime target. I have to go now, due elsewhere at 5:00 PM.
TOP Toad ... buh bye sweetie pie.
Look who — Big Jim woke up! Now everyone do as he says, you hear? Big Jim's authority comes from the Big Guy upstairs.
You're one seriously messed up dude, friend Meade.
To hell with all of them people. What about me? Has anyone heard from me? Am I alright? I'm getting a little worried? The last time I talked to me I was mumbling, all incoherent, and drooling. I even flashed myself like some kind of pervert.
Oops, too late. Airdog already has his hands down Big Jim's pants.
TOP Toad ...ask Lem, little boy. If he wants to tell you he will.
I figured you duck out on the donation. No, you don't get to know in advance who it is for...you claim you are concerned about both or either...so put up or shut up.
If you can find anyone on this board who thinks I am not trust worthy in this matter I will with draw my offer.
Meantime I will carry out my half anyway.
Gotta run now.
Hey! Bags is back from his sexpedition! How goes it, Bagoh?
"Gotta run now. "
Ta ta and toodles, Mr. Trustworthy.
What wealth?
Anne's wealth.
Whose house?
ANNES HOUSE!
Catchy chant.
It is well known that Anne's first marriage was a failure, but I just realized that Meade also had a failed marriage.
Did she leave you based on your low levels of education and menial career, or did you just run through whatever money she had and then decided to try and trade up to that cushy taxpayer funded retirement you are currently mooching off Althouse?
I have never had a failed marriage, and my secret to success is obvious:
Never expect another human being to put up with an asshole 24/7.
No wonder Deborah is staying away.
Leisure Suit Larry will do that.
He is like Raid for a commenting community.
I have actually heard that the key to a happy marriage is separate bathrooms.
No experience with marriage myself, I am not a masochist.
Sorry. My computer is wonky today.

Last time Larry showed this kind of detached interest he was hounding and berating one of them over a completely understandably delayed and somewhat minor business transaction.
I'm sure they're touched by his cyber-concern.

You know, often I find your puns cheesy. But this one totally made me smile and chuckle. I think it had to do with the replaced phrase, which I got despite then finding the "bl" arriving a bit earlier than I thought at first. My mind played tricks on me. I also liked when you called Titus a "clogging blockroach".
Spoonerisms with "c" and "bl" switches are freaking hilarious. I think this time it was the as hopelessly bureaucratic as it is industrial association of a "cog" administrator, combined with the classic consonant clusters that make one think of being "cockblocked". Which is appropriate when referencing someone whose greatest claim to fame is commenting his way to the top of a Tower of Babel and playing win-a-date with a crazy blonde wino.
Hey, some answer to the Big Guy upstairs, some to the Big Woman upstairs.
"LARRY, MOW THE FUCKING LAWN, NOW, AND QUIT GAMBLING AWAY MY RETIREMENT FUND, YOU PUTZ!"
Lol. That was good. ;-)
You know, often I find your puns cheesy.
No whey!
Getting better and better...

RAID!
Gotta love Tex Avery!
Goood Lord.
So are we all racists and xenophobes for not pondering every lost poster?
I do wonder about Palladian. I hope he is OK. I've always thought highly of him and appreciated his input immensely.
oh and... good to know.
"I've always thought highly of him and appreciated his input immensely."
Me too, AA... ew, not good. April instead.
Much more so than the apparition (though that may give too much credit) that occasionally shows up here.
Cody Jarrett's has been missed too.
Hope Pasta, Palladian and Cody are just enjoying life.
Maybe they're all 3 the same person — kept and cared for by Airdog the Kind.

A conspiracy theory!
Not as plausible as Meade = Crack MC.
Or the theory that Woo Who and Abby are both Inga, who may or may not be Mary or Althouse and or Meade.
Anyway, it's clear that the drinking lamp is lit in Madison and soon Meade and his "wife" will be lit, too.
Drunks gotta drink.
Meade has way more in common with Bitchtits Mahal than Crack. Failed marriage, never got a degree post high school (although lawn boy may have flunked out after attending for a while).
Crack however was not fortunate enough to find an old shrew with money to support him financially and continues an existence of begging for reparations and facial skin rashes.
The comparison is incomplete, lacking other data points. I have no information on whether Meade is one of many bastard children of a notorious whore.
Tell us lawn bitch, do failed relationships and sexual relationships for financial gain run in your family?
Please. We're all Inga sock puppets. I thought it was clear?
Please..."Mary" is a unique commenter. As it turns out, she was/is right more often than not. For one, I'd like to meet her. How was I so fooled for so long and she was not?
Airdog, on behalf of all of us her at Lem's, thanks for taking care of P________n. You're a good person, Airdog. I hope the other P________n is okay too and I hope your dreams of meeting the non-fooled unique commenters of your dreams all come true for you. Don't stop believing, and also hold on to that feeling, Air.
... on behalf of all of us her at Lem's ...
You've taken over here, eh?
And about the good person bit...the emails from your wife over time said just that...that my contributions and support were appreciated.
BTW...Lem has asked us to be nice so I will be ignoring you henceforth.
That's nice, Air. I know you're a nice person even though you call me all sorts of insulting names. I just assume, when people do that, that they have some kind of brain damage or they're using substances or they're what we used to call mentally retarded.
So I don't hold it against them. And besides, I'm actually very fond of toads and I try to protect them when I'm out mowing lawns.
Have a nice day, Airdog.
Finished Downton Abby Season 4 last night, with this well crafted line from Violet bringing a laugh:
Violet: Can't you even offer help without sounding like a trumpeter on the peak of the moral high ground?
Aridog's online name is Aridog. Not Air. Which makes the whole nice person using insulting names screed a joke, as thin and wispy as the tinny sound of a toy trumpet wafting down the valley to Lem's hacienda from the icy peak of moral high ground.
Meade: “Can’t you even offer help to the missing P's without sounding like a trumpet tooter tooting his own trumpet on the peak of the moral high ground?”
Airdog: “And must you always sound like a toad, motherfucker?”
Meade: “Toads are stalwart creatures. I take that as a compliment.”
Airdog: “You take everything as a compliment, fuck face toad.”
Meade: “I advise you to do the same. It saves many an awkward moment!”
The lighter side of toads
Some trumpets ring truer than others.
Under fun toad facts:
American Toads have special glands, called paratoid glands, which produce a foul-smelling, toxic chemical. This will keep some predators from trying to eat it. Other defenses used by American Toads, include playing dead and puffing up their bodies to look bigger than they actually are.
American Toads can live up to thirty years.
Another fine exchange from the Season 4 finale:
Martha: “Violet, forgive me, and I don’t mean to be offensive, but are you always this stuck-up?”
Violet: “Do tell me, do tell me: is the new Lady Aysgarth all set to hold London enthralled with tales of how the West was won?”
Martha: “I turned him down. You see, I have no wish to be a great lady.”
Violet: “A decision that must be reinforced whenever you look in the glass.”
Martha: “Violet, I don’t mind looking in the mirror because what I see is a woman who’s not afraid of the future. My world is coming nearer and your world is slipping further and further away.
