Calling Swamp Rat! Calling Swamp Rat!!

[Dinger]

I'm just sayin". I miss ya buddy:)

[Systematic Chaos]

1. Did they cancel his tombstone yet?

Hopefully once cooler heads prevail he'll be back, but he really went a bit overboard on the spammage there. Not that I blame him. :(

[HeeBGBz]

2. Tell us what it's like on the other side

Really glad you are still here.

[Gold Metal Flake]

4. Swampy

I don't know Swamp Rat and I have no idea what happened, but I know Swamp Rat is a New Orleanian.

I'm glad that Swamp Rat's profile is still here.

Take care of Swamp Rat for me and let's see that s/he gets back to posting. We need all the folks down on the Gulf to be in attendance at DU this summer.

[Swamp Rat]

[Swamp Rat]

29. We may not seem like much,

but swamp rats pack a 'powerful mean' bite. :evilgrin:

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. What a GREAT response!!

[Breeze54]

37. The pain shows... on her face.

Love you, Cindy. :hug:

Nobel Peace Prize. I hope I do. Lovely pix Swampie.

[LostinVA]

60. Thanks for posting this, buddy

:pals:

[Richard Steele]

67. Best...response...EVER.

I hope that pic haunts a certain hateful piece of shit
who isn't worthy to breath the same air Cindy does.

Glad you're not gone, SwampMeister! :hug:

[dogday]

68. In Your Face Cindy, I love it

and I love her and everything she has done....

[bdamomma]

[conscious evolution]

51. Go away

You have worn out your welcome here.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

54. Bahahahaha

Oh. My. Lawd. Help. Me. Air. Can. Breathe. Not.

Your Swampness :D:D:D

[Catherine Vincent]

65. ROTFL!

Funny photoshop! :rofl:

[Neecy]

11. yay!!!

[lonestarnot]

12. Woot. Dat is messed up.

:rofl:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. I feel guilty

I thought you knew about the spam filter and had a system to time your post. I should have warned you. :cry:

[Swamp Rat]

18. LOL!

I was only thinking about Cindy at the time, and how I wanted that horrible screed against her GONE before she came back to DU.

:hug:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. I'm just glad you came back before DUers had to come to LA looking for ya

You have no idea of the panic that broke out here after your, umm.... unplanned break. I missed most of it, but when I came back there were pleas for calm and post decrying how it was only the spam filters doing. Heck, I even saw a mod step forward to explain that you were still among the living.

You are a beloved icon here... Try not to scare the members like that again. :hug:

[Swamp Rat]

24. my bad

:blush:

[SeattleGirl]

15. Yaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!

Glad you're back from the dead, dude! :hi:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

31. I'm so glad you weren't tombstoned.

When I saw the thread, my heart sank. You're one of my favorite posters.

[Swamp Rat]

32. Way'at SemiCharmedQuark!

:hi: :hug:

Don't diss Cindy and expect me to just sit and do nothing.

Just one day after Memorial Day the Freeptard little weenies would rather attack the mother of a fallen soldier than serve in Iraq.

They must feel really really guilty for being such cowards.

[Usrename]

48. I didn't know you could get disappeared just for stuttering.

Glad it wasn't for long, and welcome back!

:)

[Dinger]

33. I Just Luv Ya, That's All : )

I'm at home, staying up leter than I should.

[Swamp Rat]

34. Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man

I might be in Colorado,
Or Georgia by the sea
Working for some man who may not know at all who I might be

If you ever see me coming and if you know who I am
Don't you breathe it to nobody 'cause you know I'm on the lamb

Wanted man by Lucy Watson,
Wanted man by Jeannie Brown
Wanted man by Nellie Johnson,
Wanted man in this next town

I've had all that I wanted of a lot of things I've had
And a lot more than I needed of some things that turned out bad

I got sidetracked in El Paso,
Stopped to get myself a map
Went the wrong way in Pleura with Juanita on my back

Went to sleep in Shreveport,
Woke up in Abilene
Wonderin' why I'm wanted at some town half way in between

Wanted man in Albuquerque,
Wanted man in Syracuse
Wanted man in Tallahassee,
Wanted man in Baton Rouge

There's somebody set to grab me
Anywhere that I might be
And wherever you might look tonight
You might get a glimpse of me

Wanted man in California,
Wanted man in Buffalo
Wanted man in Kansas City,
Wanted man in Ohio

Wanted man in Mississippi,
Wanted man in ol' Cheyenne

Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man

- Johnny Cash

;) :hi:

[Dinger]

36. O.K., Now I Want To Marry You Honey Bunch!

Johnny Cash, ahhhhhhhhhhh, LOVE IT!!!!

Wanted Man indeed!

[Ecumenist]

49. Glad to have ya back, Swampy Baby!!

I could not believe that you were kicked in the rusty dusty when it as SO VERY OBVIOUS what the "new Duer" was up to. 9 years ago, I took a short break from this mortal coil after a small misunderstanding with a duodenal ulcer I didn't know I had until it decided to try to bleed me dry. So, I've been on the other side and was just a wondering--what was it like for you in the land of the tombstoned? Did ya see any of the ones who've found themselves likewise unfairly, though in their cases, permanently buried?



I'm just glad to have ya back. My heart nearly fell through my feet when I read what happened to ya...:wow: :wtf:

[malaise]

52. Hi Swamp Rat

Man you had me searching the graveyard. I was delighted I didn't find your tombstone. :D :D

[wicket]

56. Thank god you are back!

:hi: :hug:

[LostinVA]

57. Yay!!!

[tabasco]

63. Hoooo-aahhhhh!

[EFerrari]

6. What happened? Swampy?

Damn spam filter!

[Swamp Rat]

16. Ohhh, it got me!

:hi:

[EFerrari]

19. It got me, too. If it wasn't for Heid and Call Me Wesley, I'd still be dead.

:hug: to you

[Swamp Rat]

21. If it wasn't for ALL of y'all I'd be

:hi: :hug:

[EFerrari]

43. My eyes!

lol

:hug:

[charlie]

44. Duuude

I was skeered you got Spam Raptured or something. Thought you were beamed up to Hormel Heaven, with nothing to eat but Spam, Vienna Sausages, and Slim Jims. Made me tear up a bit, it did.

[Swamp Rat]

46. SPAM tastes awful!

:P



:hug:

That exiguous, little exercise in 'DU activism' was worth my ephemeral exile - it was the least I could do for Cindy. ;)

[Pachamama]

47. Hello my dear Swamp Rodent!

:hug:

[Bluebear]

8. Paging Barky VonSchnauzer!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

No, not with the fishes. But it is getting late and he may just be off for the night now.

[dweller]

13. i, for one hope he has a really good time while away

and comes back with an appropriate graphic.

yeah, kick'em while they are down Swampy. A gutshot.

[Swamp Rat]

17. See #10 for the new pic

It was a rush job since my exile was so brief. :)

Welcome back, Swamp Rat. :hi:

Glad to see you back and posting :hi: luv ya man!!!

[bdamomma]

69. Swamp Rat, you definitely have a fan club.

[EFerrari]

74. We're not a fan club. We're a cult.

:)

[KamaAina]

71. Fortunately, DU discovered it was not equipped to tombstone a New Orleanian

we would have had to build an entire above-ground vault, or "city of the dead", as such:



and what with the server issues and all, that would have been impractical :P

Welcome back! Cooter's may be in our future sooner than you think...

[Swamp Rat]

73. I'm gonna try out a new (to me) bistro this evening.

You may be interested in checking it out when you come home. Of course, there's always alligator po-boys and Abita Fleur-de-lis Restoration Ale at Cooter's. ;)
