Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 14 Sept. 2009 From: SINSULL Date: 15 Sep 09 - 08:47 AM Bobert, It is a federal offense to send porn through the mail. Feel better, Karen. Spaw - just get your ass out of the hospital and the next time to feel the sniffles coming on go straight to the doctor. A little Tamiflu goes a long way. SINS |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 14 Sept. 20 From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 15 Sep 09 - 05:21 AM Let's start the wake.
Euologies are waisted on the living - and never appreciated by the dead.
Time to crack open that ancient bottle of booze...take it to his room...wet a piece of gauze and slip it between his lips so he can partake too.
So...to steal from Oscar & Hammerstein...and start the "good thoughts....."
The daisys on the hill
Sincerely,

I am sure a card wouldn't go amiss and I can PM their addy to any who don't already have it. I will probably not post an update every day from now on; wait to hear for good changes and breathing deeply. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 14 Sept. 2009 From: gnu Date: 14 Sep 09 - 07:57 PM Thanks for the update, k. Good news on Tom and I am doubling my thoughts and prayers for him and same for Spaw. Of course, I suppose The Saints are conversing and asking who the fuck is this dickweed? But, when they see who I am asking after, I am sure they all say, "Oh! Tom and Spaw? Sure... no probs!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update Sept. 2009 From: katlaughing Date: 14 Sep 09 - 07:40 PM Still the same. Still miserable. Got the cards, but not quite ready to focus on them; Karen said there were bunches and "Thank You!" Actually, his fever has come down to 99. They have had him sitting up and on the BiPap. They took him down for a cat scan this afternoon to look at his lungs. He is on anti-flu and anti-biotic meds. Karen is having a bit of a time with the whole feeling at the hospital this time. They've always been very supportive, "warm and fuzzy" is how she put it. This time, they are rather perfunctory. She thinks it is because the hospital is going through some tough patches and personnel are concerned about their jobs, but that is no excuse. Even knowing she works there, they have been very strict. They won't let her slip up on her breaks to see him because it wouldn't be visiting hours, so she has to stay up when she gets off work in the early AM, go get Tris and take him to school, go back to visit with Pat during reg. visiting hours, THEN go home and try to get some sleep, then get Tris, take the boys up to see Pat, then go to work after dropping them off with friends. She has been cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc. She is sure he will make it through this; just be a long haul. Still there is the anxiety which comes with waiting for the treatments to show more improvement. When he is coherent, he is damn tired of it, too. In a lot of pain from not moving around much. She is going to see if she can get someone like my osteopath who does soft tissue manipulation to help with that. I am optimistic, but don't feel very p/phunny about this right now, so, I'll say, I am giving thanks for a swift and complete recovery for my dear friend, Pat. May he return home in good health and spirits. I give thanks for this or something better for the highest good of all concerned. So mote it be! luvya'llkat |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: gnu Date: 14 Sep 09 - 07:13 PM Scarey? Nah... Spaw was only ever being a regular guy that didn't give two fucks from Sunday what some sorry ass broke dick fuck had jammed up his tight ass and couldn'y shit out because of his anal retention. Spaw calls a fart a fart. And a bullshitter a bullshitter. And, Spaw will do it for many years, in his way, which most admire and laud, even though his prose is at time base and common and raw.... of the peeps, by the peeps, and for the peeps. Scarey? Scarey if did leave us. Rest well my good friend. And git yer ass back home. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: GUEST,Russ Date: 14 Sep 09 - 06:59 PM We ask ourselves, "What would Spaw say?" We try to emulate his posts. Our veneration of Spaw is moving in a scary direction. Russ (Permanent GUEST and potential spawciple) |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 20 From: Amos Date: 14 Sep 09 - 06:21 PM Casey got hit with one, while the band played on.... I don't suppose that grade school classic is the one you're thinking of? See where thinking about Spaw leads us? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: gnu Date: 14 Sep 09 - 06:17 PM Never get hit with a bucket of shit, And forget to close yer eyes. Wish I could remember the rest of that song. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 14 Sep 09 - 05:23 PM There's a Google advertisement on my screen for an enema supplier called (drum roll) "Enemeez". They sell enema bags and enema buckets. "ENEMA BUCKETS?" I thought, "I've never heard of an enema bucket! Who the hell could possibly be so full of shit that he'd need an enema BUCKET?" Then I remembered the subject of this thread: our good Mr. Patterson. So, I checked the site out, thinking an enema bucket would be an appropriate homecoming gift for Spaw, only to find, to my great disappointment, that an enema bucket is simply a graduated plastic pail for measuring and mixing enema solution. They're not for administering the enema at all! And the only size they have is 1500 ML. 1500 ML? That's only, like, 3/4 of a gallon! That's not a BUCKET! It's barely a friggin' pail! So, does anyone know where to get a Spaw sized enema bucket? Something around, say, five gallons? And does anyone have a spare funnel and a few feet of garden hose? |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: SINSULL Date: 14 Sep 09 - 11:05 AM In where? The nasal cannula??? |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: olddude Date: 14 Sep 09 - 11:00 AM VT that was priceless, good job filling in for Spaw while he is recovering. LOL you forgot to add Pricks in there |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: Amos Date: 14 Sep 09 - 09:17 AM Well, VT, ain't you just a darn firecracker, I swan. Twiddledick, huh? Hmmmm. LH, colloquial language is dynamic and it seeks the fastest (or sometimes the most colorful) path to understanding. Standing in its way is sometimes counter-productive. Fun, funner, funnest: Adj.; Enjoyable or amusing A |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: Rapparee Date: 14 Sep 09 - 08:40 AM It's a catheter: they pour liquids in from above and it all comes right out the bottom -- a straight-through hose. There's another one that enters his mouth, but I won't describe its functions. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: SINSULL Date: 14 Sep 09 - 08:23 AM nasal cannula? A relative of the nose flute? Or a misplaced catheter? Inquiring minds want to know which is more funner... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: mouldy Date: 14 Sep 09 - 04:36 AM There is a condition called ICU Psychosis, apparently, which makes patients get quite abusive to staff. I doubt Spaw will be able to use that as an excuse, as if he gets any more back to his normal ascerbic self, he won't be in ICU! Glad to hear he is gradually improving. Will be thinking of him. Andrea |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 20 From: VirginiaTam Date: 14 Sep 09 - 03:54 AM In a futile attempt to bring this thread back around to directing positive energy towards Spaw's recovery, may I just say, GET THE FUCK OFF THE GUT CRAMPING GRAMMAR SPECULATIONS YOU POSSE OF PEDANTIC PENISES. I never saw such a bunch of TWIDDLEDICKS. Ouch, that hurt. Spaw, ya gotta come back. I just cannot do the bombast with the same conviction as you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: Ebbie Date: 14 Sep 09 - 02:57 AM Rap, note that my daughter said FUNNER, not funnIer. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: Rapparee Date: 13 Sep 09 - 11:05 PM Hmmm... Funnier than a rubber crutch Funnier than a diarrhetic without toilet paper Funnier than the time Granma fell into the outhouse More fun that a rubber crutch More fun than a diarrhetic without toilet paper More fun than the time Granma fell into the outhouse Watching that was fun. That was funnier than the last time. That was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Of everything I've seen, that was the funniest. Oh, never mind. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: Ebbie Date: 13 Sep 09 - 10:55 PM I tend to agree with Little Hawk in objecting to that construction. I remember how taken aback I was when my 16 or 17 year old daughter said that something was "funner than " something else. Huh? She is now 47 and I sincerely hope she no longer approves of that abomination. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Sep 09 - 08:50 PM 'That's the question "everyone" is asking tonight....' (typical CNN comment) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: katlaughing Date: 13 Sep 09 - 08:43 PM And, will he call you on your foreign spelling or just tell you what a broke-dick mamalucca you are? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 13 Sept. 2009 From: Bill D Date: 13 Sep 09 - 08:39 PM "And what would Spaw say?" In a week or so, you may well find out.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Sep 09 - 08:36 PM I am surprised, Amos, that you would not back me up fully when I make pompous and pedantic corrections such as I have just made to others' poor uses of English. Yes, I am very surprised! Could it be that you have a secondary reason for not doing so? An ulterior motive? A hidden agenda? I think so. I think you are opposing me just for the sheer pleasure of it, you scoundrel. If the positions were reversed, would I be so low as to do the same to you? Would I??? Hmmmm. Well, possibly I would. ;-D Meanwhile the English language deteriorates before our very eyes. Shocking! Disturbing. Quasi-dimensional. Strange. Offbeat. Jejeune. Possibly even heretical. But what does it all mean in teleological or heuristic terms of reference? And what would Spaw say? |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 1 Sept. 2009 From: katlaughing Date: 13 Sep 09 - 08:32 PM This is good...just spoke with Karen. They got him up and he sat in a chair for awhile, today, so he is more alert. Lung xrays showed a bit more gunk, being a true layabout isn't exactly good for them when one is ill, so they really are working on keeping him up more and coughing more. His BP and pulse look good and he is just on a nasal cannula for the O2 rather than the mask, which I am sure makes him much happier. This is how we know he is on the mend, even though he is still in ICU and feels VERY miserable: Karen said there were a bunch of nurses, etc. trying to get him back to the bed, having a hard time with all of the IV lines, O2 line, etc., including a tube coming out of his frontside into a urine bag. They got to laughing and joking about an accidental strangling and Karen having to sue them, when Pat said, he could just see the headline...Man strangled by his own urine! He's back, very slowly and still fighting it off, but at least there's a glimmer of the Spaw we know. So keep it up folks, please! |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: katlaughing Date: 13 Sep 09 - 05:55 PM Oh, naughty Micca! Then I shall say, "Kick it in high gear and head him out on the straight-away with all twelve cylinders, or whatever he's got, firing away in sync and he might drive me to drinkin' if he don't quit drivin' that hot....rod....Lincoln!*bg* (I HAD to do it, folks!) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: Micca Date: 13 Sep 09 - 05:32 PM Kat, I would think both long and deeply, with reference to Spaw, about the wisdom of "Turning him round"!!!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 20 From: Amos Date: 13 Sep 09 - 04:53 PM Actually, the informal expression "It's not as fun" is perfectly acceptable as a colloquialism, Little Hawk. Try not to act superior when you aren't. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: katlaughing Date: 13 Sep 09 - 03:32 PM I have not heard from Karen, yet, today. So, I called the hospital to find he is still in intensive care. As soon as I hear from her, I will post. It's about time to kick this in high gear and turn him around! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Sep 09 - 10:53 AM Neil! A pompous and pedantic type would quickly point out that the sentence "This place isn't nearly as fun without him" is lacking a VERY necessary word. The word is "much". You don't say "isn't nearly as fun". That's NOT good English! Tut! Tut! No....you say "isn't nearly as much fun". And there's your proof that this place isn't nearly as much fun with Spaw off duty.... ;-D |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: GUEST,Neil D Date: 13 Sep 09 - 10:34 AM Spaw needs to get better! and soon. This place isn't nearly as fun without him. Sending positive thoughts and best wishes. Neil and Christina |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: Rapparee Date: 13 Sep 09 - 08:56 AM You mean, like a dog registration -- with an embedded microchip and maybe a tattooed number in his ear or something? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: wysiwyg Date: 13 Sep 09 - 08:37 AM People. THINK. A phrase often used at Mudcat, never even think twice about it-- "Member Profile." THINK! Do we REALLY want to see a "member" profile... for SPAW? "Member" registration ought to be plenty!!! "Member" name..... O M G! ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: Amergin Date: 12 Sep 09 - 11:09 PM Wow....after looking at those pictures....didn't realise that Spaw was a fan of the mullet.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Sep 09 - 10:13 PM I know that no news is good news, but that don't keep me from looking. Again. Still here, ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: gnu Date: 12 Sep 09 - 01:32 PM If he was, he wouldn't have had time for going to the hospital. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: SINSULL Date: 12 Sep 09 - 01:07 PM Is he able to lick his balls? SOmeone had to ask. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: GUEST,Rapaire Date: 12 Sep 09 - 01:06 PM And here I always thunk Cats Paw was a rubber heel for shoes. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 20 From: Amos Date: 12 Sep 09 - 01:03 PM I think there were no Catspaws born in 1901 to 1948. Hence, Spaw49. Which means the aul' fart is actually younger nor me. Gawd, what an unsettling thought! A |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update 12 Sept. 2009 From: Bat Goddess Date: 12 Sep 09 - 01:00 PM That's very selfless of you, 'Spaw, throwing yourself in front of hideobilia from Maine to protect Tom (and me). Thanks, too, for helping Tom and I take our minds off of Tom's current affliction. Now get your healed posterior (and every other part of your anatomy) out of that hospital and home to your ever-lovin' wife!!! You of all people should know about getting caught in the medical clutches! And stay the fxxk away from JELLO; I don't care what color it is. My ex-husband was in R&D with Atlantic Geletins; I KNOW what's in that crap (and how it eats holes in shoe leather). Get well! (Yes. That's an order!) Hugs, Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw updated From: Tinker Date: 12 Sep 09 - 12:42 PM Okay that hound scratching leg kickin' image was definately good for a smile.... Sent a card this morning, but I think Spaw went a little overboard in his annual avoidance of Getaway this year. After all this time we probably would've accepted a lesser excuse. |
