Quite frankly, I cannot recall ever disagreeing with anything Spaw has posted here, and in private (PM & email) conversations I've found him informative, courteous, responsive, helpful, and downright friendly.

Now chew hard and digest that juxtaposition of descriptive ... (groping for another word??).

"Where is Spaw?" God, we worry about that boy don't we? And for good reason!

I believe that Spaw's existence is essential to the Mudcat. Every tribe, group, club, needs a trickster, a joker, a loveable rascal who will cross the bounds of taste when nobody else will. In fact, it's so essential, that should anything ever (God forbid) happen to him, one of the other Mudcat regulars should be prepared to step into Pat's shoes and assume the mantle of Catspaw. In fact, even if he wants to take a break from this forum for a while, and you couldn't blame him, it would be great if someone could don the demeanor and get in the game. And Catspaw could go be a quiet unassuming guy who just wants to feed finches for a bit. Even Superman got to be Clark Kent from time to time.

Bottom line is, Spaw, you need to take on an understudy, someone you can show the basic ropes of being the Spawser, someone to be the Robin to your Batman. They would have to possess some of the basic skill set that you have: Irrascibilty, liberalism, spunk, obnoxiousness, cleverness, obstinacy, genuineness, mechanical inclination, an unpredictable tender side, a sense of fairness, iconoclasticism(?), flatulence, profanity, and the ability to sing all of the songs from Oklahoma with lyrics about fellatio.

Yep.....Try to drop by daily to offer words of wisdom and/or rude and crude remarks..............But I have given serious consideration to mentoring a successor to this lofty position.

It ain't happening. Who the fuck would want the job? The hidden aspects of this position can just suck the fun out of it. Some people can't understand how I can be helpful or nice or understanding and also be rude, abrasive, insulting, and mean. So when I take few whacks (or more) at someone like Conrad or Wavy or a few others, I get these PM's asking that I be polite to the targeted fuckwad since they have seen elsewhere that I can be nice. What a gawdamn pain in the ass that is!!!

Then there are the............aw let's not get into it. I just don't want to layoff this position on some other idiot.......It would take the remarkable stupidity that only I possess to do this job. Wait....I take it back......LeBron James has that much stupidity because he said his Cleveland fans would understand his decision.

My guess is an 'ocaroma' is what you get when you type the 'o' and then slide your right hand a key to the right. Either that, or it's a scratch 'n' sniff ocarina.

Subject: RE: BS: Where is Spaw?
From: JohnInKansas
Date: 11 Jul 10 - 02:31 PM

So what's a good toot really good for if there's no aroma?

A subtle "essence of rose attar" I'm quite sure must be a favorite for Spaw, as for most gentlemen (and a few ladies).

Of course the absence of at least a gentle "flutter" can be something of a disappointment, so perhaps a more complex (reed?) instrument (still in the shape of a goat?) like an obloe would be more appropriate.

I had a feeling something was up so I called Spaw earlier this week and didn't get an answer. I decided to try again, today, and if I still didn't get hold of him or Karen, I was going to call "sister" Connie. Karen answered, today. Pat is in the hospital after having acute appendicitis and an emergency appendectomy on Wednesday! Thank goodness he is like a Timex watch...takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'..again!

He is still in CCU and, until today, was having some "issues," but today he is calm, resting, and, Karen thinks he has turned the corner and will be at least a pale shade of his usual self in another day or two. He is being strongly encouraged by Karen and myself, among others, to get a sleep study done for sleep apnea and, when you read this, Spawdarlin'...you can bite me for putting you on public notice!

Anyway, not totally out of the woods, but doing better and I am sure would appreciate your good thoughts and energy. Karen sends her love and thanks, too.

What the fuck's up with this guy? Always in the friggin' hospital and shit! Well I'm gettin' damned well tired of typing up a new "Get Well" message every time the sorry old fuckstick decides to take a few days off and spend it lollygagging around some hospital hoping some 25 year-old nurse will stick a thermometer up his ass.

So, I'm typing the following message and saving it as a Word document. Next time the fucker goes in the hospital, he's gonna get the same damned message.

Beginning of message:

Hey, Dipshit! What the fuck is it with you? You think parading around hospitals with your ass hanging out of one of those flimsy gowns is gonna turn some chick on or something? Forget it! Nobody wants to see your pimply old ass. And don't even think about turning that gown around! Absolutely nobody is interested in seeing you shriveled old pecker! Just get the fuck well, go home, and get back to your usual life of farting, jacking off, and being an obnoxious broke-dicked old asshole.

I just checked the billing schedule for Lane, Fielding, Patterson and Swan, Layabouts for Hire and noted that lying around a hospital does not generate billable hours, nor does time spent snoozing under general anaesthesia.

Our fourth quarter earnings are well under projections, even with Fielding working all the overtime he does. You need to get your ass out of the hospital and get back to the serious work of doing nothing.

He said, right now, he could be home and be fine as he has all that he needs there, as at the hospital.

From the sounds of it, the worst part of all was his reaction to certain meds, including an anaesthetic and a pain killer. I'll let him fill us in, if and when he feels like it.

Spaw & Karen need the main nurse of my recent sojourn in hosp. Her name was Xena, she was about 4ft. 00 tall, & I could have completely encircled her waist by pressing the thumb&forefinger of my right hand together. The main obsession of her life was that I would get OUT of that comfortable bed, hold on to the "walker"(later the IVpole) & trot across the room/out the door/make several rounds of the ward hallway--several xx daily!!! She was inordinately pleased the 1st time I tried, when I got as far as the door to my room & had to be helped back to bed, but not so easy to please after that. Of prime importance to her seemed to be that I never have to be back having stuff done & could see my noisy obstreporous grandkids somewhere ELSE than her nice quiet ward...(She loved them & asked my dau-in-law if they could come after I went home as she had some patients who weren't getting the cheeringup I had gotten...) I hope Spaw has the experience I have had--amazement at how fast I started feeling better & how MUCH better...& if Kat went visiting then he got the cheeringup so I won't send my 5 grands.   Tw

Ebbie - You know, I think it's really sad how ordinary public customs set little kids up for those kind of disillusionments early in life. It's got to leave some kind of lasting pschological effect that makes them less trusting as they move into adulthood, and lack of trust in life, in self, and in others is a serious issue for a great many people.

Seems to me that the ancient peoples may have had the better take on things when they told legends to their children, because the way the legends were put, one could go on believing that they might be true....like for example the North American Indian legends about nature spirits and stuff like that. Adults went on believing that those nature spirits existed, and it seems to me that it made their lives richer, not poorer.

But we live in a society where "the aimless blade of science" has "slashed the pearly gates", as Neil Young put it in a great song lyric he wrote. And I think we have paid a terrible price for that, I really do. It has removed much of the magic and wonder from our lives, in my opinion. And I don't buy it. Life is about a great deal more than mere physical, observable reality and mere survival/competition tactics in the face of physical, observable reality. Life is nobler than that.

Children know that instinctively, but we squeeze it out of them bit by bit by slowly teaching them to trust only as far as the reach of their physical senses and their machines and money and not to look any farther. I think that's been an utter tragedy for the human race. It has caused people to lose touch with their own souls, and with the greater purposes of life. You see the alienation happening all around now? That's partly where it comes from. (It also comes from urban overpopulation and the loss of natural habitat, but that's another whole discussion...)

'Spaw, I'm glad to hear that you're recovering (I won't say recovering *nicely*, mind you), as is Amy. The #$@!-reduction candle series started up as soon as I found out you were in the medical hooscow. You and Karen will be careful on the drive home, I know.
The sleep apnea test is the best sleep I've ever had in a hospital, as they don't come barging in and throwing on the lights at some godforsaken hour. And even though sleeping with a CPAP mask on felt a little stupid at first, I sleep better, I don't snore (so everybody else sleeps better), and it keeps me from dying in my sleep.

LH, you have a point about the aimless blade of science, but I never saw such a huge look of relief on a kid's face as when I admitted to my son Daniel that there wasn't a literal corporeal guy squeezing down our skinny chimney.

Yeah, well, I figured that one out for myself after a few years...   The only thing that puzzled me was why my parents had told me such a strange and unlikely story in the first place. I thought maybe they were a few short of a six-pack, as the saying goes. ;-) So I asked my Mother about it, and she told me it was just a nice fairy story to make Christmas more fun for everyone, and don't tell the other kids and spoil it for them!

That sounded reasonable to me.

I'm all for science and logic...I always have been...but what worries me about the modern social philosophies it has produced as it took up arms against archaic forms of Christian religion is that the new philosophies are mostly empty of the kind of idealism and confidence and sense of a higher and greater purpose in life that traditional religions at their philosophical best once gave to people. At the heart of all great religions lie the truly essential questions: "What is your life really about? How can you become a better and more loving person?" And that is the question people need to look into if they are going to become something far better than just a clever, selfish animal that knows how to read and write, talk, make a fire, and use complicated tools.

Then, of course, there's the other truly essential multi-part question: How do we get Spaw to renounce the vile Cheech Wizard for all time and admit that Winona Ryder is lovely and also a good actress?

Not even Jesus or Buddha had an answer for that one.
