Terrific stuff John! Sorry I didn't see this before. Makes me feel good and I'll tell you why. Just the other day I got a PM from another 'Catter basocally bemoaning the fat that the quality of BS has diminished around here. I won't mention the 'Catter's name but I certainly agreed with their ideas. Here is what the PM said and I think you'll see first why I agreed and second that THIS piece of work of yours is as deserving or moreso of praise as anything ever written around the joint. Here it is::
"The sheer creativity in the humorous writing in the fart thread you revived compared to its current counterpart is jarring.
In the old thread someone name margo wrote a pants-wettingly funny bit that went unacknowledged because the whole thread was nearly equally funny.
The new thread is like...
...it's always driven me just a bit crazy (a short drive if ever was) that so many could laugh for so long at so little ..... and the SAME OLD so little. Like GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome). It wasn't really funny to me the first time, but it was honest-to-god the only humor you could find among guitar players for a good two years. STILL, someone is bound to use the acronym yet again as though everyone in the whole dang world hasn't already heard it.
I used to feel as though the humor on the mudcat was on a par with Lehrer, Paxton (at his best), Breckman, Freberg. I don't see that much creative humor anymore -- mostly just parroting of old stuff. Maybe all the tin foil helmets stunt humor."
Obviously John Hardly threw awaym his tin-foil helmet!!!!Now if you MUST drag this down into a serious discussion, first try this old Rosewood Thread
