Mudcatter and neighbor Gutcher,
Shane McBride is a Mudcat Insider.
He is as Inside as you can get.
Shane McBride is so Inside the Mudcat
that I would be no end of surprised
if anyone Outside the Mudcat has an inkling of his existence.

I'm a relative newbie to Mudcat
and I find myself acknowledging Shane McBride
by dodging out of the way whenever
certain Mudcat longtimers
holler that Shane McBride is near.
I've never actually laid eye nor ear on him myself.
