Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: SINSULL Date: 12 Jul 00 - 04:49 PM Allan, I thought Kendall had another problem - don't do that to us! Kendall will be fine. Nothing else is acceptable. So there! SS |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: kendall Date: 12 Jul 00 - 06:07 PM Praise be to the great spirit!! the operation went well, and the doctor called to tell me it was a small cyst, plus some plaque from smoking and singing. My voice is totally gone at the moment, and he says it could get worse from swelling, but, it will actually improve my voice in time. I thank all of you from the depths of my soul. Now for some rest. I havn't slept well for some time.. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: catspaw49 Date: 12 Jul 00 - 06:35 PM Well any improvement to your voice would be welcome. Was he able to do anything about the funny accent you have? And what about "Edgar Cayce?" Of course I suppose raising the dead is out of the question........ Well this is great news anyway......Now you can work on learning some of the songs Meebo sent you like "Blot your Crotch with Cowpattie Paste" by Toothless Doofus and the Dung Beetle Chewers. It ain't "Phoebe Snow" but with your new voice and all............. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 12 Jul 00 - 06:48 PM "It will actually improve my voice in time" - so it turns out to have been cosmetic surgery for the voice after all!
Here's a story. There's this fella wakes after having had an operation to his hands. "Tell me doctor - will I be able to play the piano?"
"Don't worry, you'll be playing marvellously in another three weeks or so!"
"That's fantastic - you know, I'd never even thought of playing the piano till just now!"

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: Alice Date: 12 Jul 00 - 07:26 PM wow, what a relief. Great, Kendall. Now, don't do what bert says yet, let your throat heal before you start singing again.... remember those health tips for singers? |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: Big Mick Date: 12 Jul 00 - 11:01 PM It is about time, you old coot. I kept waiting to hear, and the old prayer list was getting a bit long. At Mass, I had to ask the lector to wait a minute while I finished my list....................LOL. To say that I am elated, is to put it mildly. Now get better so we can sing together when I finally get to meet you. All the best, Big Mick |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: Jeri Date: 12 Jul 00 - 11:24 PM He didn't say the docs told him he had to be quiet, and those one-liners don't take much effort. Beware! Kendall, I'm glad this turned out to be relatively un-scarey. Now, how do you get plaque off vocal cords? Inhale dental floss? |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: bbc Date: 12 Jul 00 - 11:37 PM Good news, Kendall! Thanks for letting us know. We'll hope to see you soon. love, bbc & Duane D. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: catspaw49 Date: 13 Jul 00 - 12:01 AM Additonally to what all these fine folks have said, I missed you in Radiochat tonite. I tried to hold up your end but everybody talked real nasty about your ass. Meebo says he's sending you more tapes as soon as he finishes diddling about with annabelle the sheep. I tried to start a pool on when you'd be able to sing, but no one would join since they all said you never could sing to begin with. Max played Woody's "Hard Travellin'" and when he kept forgetting the words, he said he was having a "kendall moment." Then Jeri really got mad when I suggested we have a party when you returned since she said we are BOTH suits of armor filled with green shit and didn't deserve a party. Several people said they WERE glad you are OK, but I gather you owe them money and they were worried about collecting. I DID try to nominate Meebo as "Rat Bastard of the Week" on your behalf, but he lost out in the voting by a narrow margin. Please come back soon......I had no help at all. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: kendall Date: 13 Jul 00 - 06:36 AM I would dearly love to meet all of you. Spaw, your gift of laughter has been priceless. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: Little Neophyte Date: 13 Jul 00 - 07:24 AM Kendallot, I am so thrilled to hear this news. Guess you could use an attractive nurse to spoon feed you some ice cream and jello. If I had to have surgery I would want Catspaw at my bedside splitting my stitches open with laughter. I am so happy for you Kendall! Bonnie |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: GUEST Date: 13 Jul 00 - 07:35 AM At this point, she wouldn't have to be REAL attractive.. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: Sean Belt Date: 13 Jul 00 - 10:19 AM Great joy for your good news and best wishes for a speedy recovery! - Sean |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: SDShad Date: 13 Jul 00 - 10:27 AM Hallelujah! That's great news, Kendall! Of course, if you end up singing sweeter than ever as Aine suggests, will you still sound like a crotchety ole Yankee? :-) And say, before I send off a sawbuck, was that your last tape you sent to Sinsull? Chris

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: Willie-O Date: 13 Jul 00 - 10:28 AM Great stuff Kendall. Take all the unsolicited advice you've been given, especially the contradictory bits. (Ends up, you can pretty much do what you want.) If I was recovering from surgery I wouldn't want Spaw within three states and a couple of provinces from me... W-O |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: Allan C. Date: 13 Jul 00 - 11:01 AM Kendall, maybe this'll help: I believe it was Mel Torme who once talked about a throat surgery he had. His doctor advised him to not sing for a YEAR! He said it was the hardest year he had ever endured; but he somehow managed to keep his mouth shut for the entire time. I guess you might say that it was worth it - things turned out fairly well for him and his "silver throat". I hope your speaking voice and your singing return much quicker than that. Allan |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: kendall Date: 13 Jul 00 - 11:07 AM No problem Shad, I still have about a dozen left if you want one. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: GUEST,winterbright Date: 13 Jul 00 - 02:59 PM blessed be! So what if you sound exactly like Stanley Kowalski for a fortnight... Did I ever do my Dietrich channeling for you? What a duet THAT would make!!! :-) how do I send an attachment with more hugs than you know what to do with? (with which you know what to do???...damn, where's that grammer when you need it?!)) |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: KathWestra Date: 13 Jul 00 - 05:04 PM Hey Cap'n, That's wonderful news indeed! Follow the doctor's orders, rest and make up the sleep you've lost, and "talk" only on the Mudcat for awhile (we love hearing from you!). Whew! Kathy |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: GUEST Date: 13 Jul 00 - 05:15 PM I'm totally without a voice right now, but the doctor says it will take a couple of weeks to return. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: kendall Date: 13 Jul 00 - 05:28 PM Winston Churchill said, There is no thrill like being shot at and missed. I'm sitting here drinking up the perfect weather and thanking the great spirit, and all the Mudcatters who wished me well. It really is great to be alive. And to those who didnt wish me well, we all have a cross to bear, maybe I'm yours!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: DougR Date: 13 Jul 00 - 05:51 PM Shucks, Kendall, there you go again jumpin' at conclusions. The folks that didn't wish you well probably just can't read. DougR |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 14 Jul 00 - 12:23 AM Good news, Kendall--and give the yodelling a rest, huh, boy? --seed |

Well, maybe not. So what are you now, boy-soprano, contralto, castrato, countertenor, what? Get well soon, Seamus |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: kendall Date: 14 Jul 00 - 07:28 AM At present, I'm more of a giraffe |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: MMario Date: 14 Jul 00 - 08:57 AM there you go, Kendall, an idea for a new tape. "Kendall sings the folk songs of the giraffe". Slap a label on a blank tape and you're done. Great money maker while you recuperate... |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: kendall Date: 14 Jul 00 - 11:20 AM I played a blank tape at full volume and a mime next door jumped out the window |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: Áine Date: 14 Jul 00 - 11:24 AM Suggested first lines/titles for Kendall's new CD: I'm Blowing Bubbles For You Baby, 'Cuz I'm Boiling Over You Cross Your Eyes And Tell Me That You Love Me Don't Step On My Blue Suede Notebook! If I Had A Pen, I'd Sing Sweet Songs To You Just Stick Out Your Tongue If You're Leaving I'd Send You A Smoke Signal, But My Matches Are Wet I'd Send Up A Love Flag, But My Line Is Limp Anyone else have some good suggestions?? -- Áine ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: catspaw49 Date: 14 Jul 00 - 11:28 AM Kendall, that was the worst gawddamn joke you ever told...........I mean like I love it and all, but its really the worst. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: Áine Date: 14 Jul 00 - 11:54 AM Found some more songs for you, Kendall -- Is That The Look Of Love, Or Do You Just Have Gas? Does That Two Finger Salute Mean You Love Me Twice As Much? Don't Roll Your Eyes In That Tone Of Voice, It Was You Or Her And I Made My Choice Blink Twice If You Want Me To Go -- Áine |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: kendall Date: 14 Jul 00 - 12:16 PM Very clever Aine, I'll get mine! Spaw, surely you understand the concept of yin and yang. Without dark ther is no light etc. without bad there is no good.. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall has a problem II From: GUEST,winterbright Date: 14 Jul 00 - 05:43 PM Here's a title for the tape: "The (Not) Yodel-yin Yang-kee" Say it out loud... Yodel-YIN YANG-kee... get it?! Get it?? Nudge, nudge! Wink, wink! Hmmm? Wha'd'ya think? Kinda grows on ya, doesn't it? First cut: "The Sounds of Silence", what else?! :-)
