Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Mbo Date: 20 Sep 00 - 11:24 PM I sure do like to hug! After 8 hours at school and 6 of them spent alone in the wood shop, I need to feel some sort of contact with another human being. Especially if they're a good hugger too! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Jolly Date: 20 Sep 00 - 11:21 PM Wow! I fell asleep over in that other tavern (must have been the roses), woke up and found myself mysteriously drawn down the road...over here! I'm Kim, been "in town" about two weeks now. Someone warned me I might get addicted... Het, Mbo, you sure like to hug!!!! When you're done, I'm up for one. In the meantime, if anyone could point me towards the beer. Do they have McSorley's in here?

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Alice Date: 20 Sep 00 - 11:11 PM ooops, spelled Piazzolla wrong. - but it doesn't stop the dance. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Alice Date: 20 Sep 00 - 11:09 PM -time for the rose in the teeth, the lights dim, spotlight on Mbo and Alice, a Piazzola song begins ... The Tango! (where is Andr‚s?) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Peter Kasin Date: 20 Sep 00 - 10:09 PM Well, I'm somewhere in between a newcomer and a middle-timer, having been here nine months now. First time at the tavern, though. Nice folks here. It has to be lemonade for me. Sssssip....um...glurp, glurp, glurp,...ahhhhh.....oh, wait a minute..I grabbed somebody's Coors Light. Sorry. I could have sworn it was...oh, well. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Alice Date: 20 Sep 00 - 09:51 PM Mbo, I'd take a hug from you any day. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Mbo Date: 20 Sep 00 - 09:26 PM ALRIGHT! Who wants hugs? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Alice Date: 20 Sep 00 - 09:20 PM Bradypus, wow! Thanks for the Cluny song! My son says that's REALLY cool. I like it, I like it.
Lepus, sorry about that wolfy "u" that I typed.
My great grandparents left Leitrim Ireland and brought their kids over to Minnesota to homestead at Tintah. I still have some relatives living there, and the old house they owned is still in the family, I think. I've never been there, but I have old photos of the place. My grandfather was a teenager at the time they left Ireland to homestead in the US. I have the memoirs of my great aunt Alice. She wrote about her parents, their life in Ireland, her father's decision to leave for America, and their journey overland from landing at Castle Garden. Alice in Montana |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Naemanson Date: 20 Sep 00 - 09:04 PM SSSNNNaaaarrrkk Gugk shash snooOOOORRESS... Huh! What? Oh, did I fall asleep in the middle of my song? Where, what, how,.. Did I drink a whole half a glass of pale ale? NO WONDER! Let's see, what did I miss. Oh! Alice was talking about a feminine version of South Australia. That's good. Actually I'll be doing that song at a concert for kids at the Maine Children's Museum this weekend. I ought to write an Olympics verse. Any suggestons? I haven't been paying attention to them, never do, so I'm a little ignorant of what's going on. Oh, and Carlin, I've only heard the Pogues once many years ago. I was interested but not enough to become a fan. Sorry.

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Burke Date: 20 Sep 00 - 07:55 PM Well I joined up sometime this summer & also never did an I'm new here message. Just back in rural New York from 10 days in England. Did they stage the fuel crisis just for me? Abbot's Bromley was cool, though. What I'd really like is a pint of that lovely ale whose name I can't remember that I tried in the pub I can't remember either. Oh well. It's not that I had too much, just that I tried too many beers in too many different places. So a black & tan, room temperature, thanks, for me. Mostly I sing & I love a-capella harmony singing. My idea of a good time is singing Chester or Liberty at the UK Sacred Harp Convention :-) I own a tin whistle & practice every once in a while. I'm no good at Irish on it, but it comes in handy for working out simple tunes from notation. My cat hates it. What kind of card game is going on here? Anyone for Hearts? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Bradypus Date: 20 Sep 00 - 07:47 PM Hello, everyone. I'm Bradypus. I've been here for quite a few months now - you'll usually find me in the Song Challenge threads. (well worth checking if you haven't found them already) I play piano accordion and autoharp, just for fun usually. Did I hear that someone wanted a song about Cluny? Try this, and if you like it, I'll have a Talisker
Cluny the Scourge

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Lepus Rex Date: 20 Sep 00 - 06:21 PM Night of the Lepus is COMING, and it ain't gonna be no movie! Muahahahaha! And if, for any reason, anyone wants to see what the lagomorphs of the world call their king, I've got my picture on the mudcat photo page. >:OB ---Lepus Rex Oh, cool, SDShad---You come from one of the prettiest parts of the state. And you leave it for SD?! My grandpa's family left their land way down near Austin, MN, which is a BEAUTIFUL area, for SD around 1900, I think. Then most of us came back to MN. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: catspaw49 Date: 20 Sep 00 - 05:28 PM You need a couch? Hey....There's one over in that corner. Be careful that that tiple on the wall doesn't fall and whack you. Tavern threads have been running for well over a year now I guess and each one has a different theme. And even if it doesn't there are things in each that make them unique, many of which have become part of the lore and iconology of Mudcat. Some have become "writer's workshops" of sorts like the Steamboat Tavern that became so bizarre it just petered out. Some have a pretyy distinct end, some are just fun, some have lime jello wwrestling, flamingos, time warps............Here was one that a lot of people enjoyed reading or participating in: Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Sep 00 - 05:23 PM Well,I'm back after helping LilNeo in the lavatory,and I'm still a bit..er...bummed out.Gimmee a double shot Maker's Mark,two cubes,and just enough water to wet the ice. Glad to see all the new Mudcatters in the old joint.Let's see,last time I was here I stashed a half-bag of pistachios over here behind the Monsters of Folk pinball machine (yeah,it's the one with the big plastic picture of a muscular Pete Seeger dressed in Neo-Barbarian attire,a buxom Joan Baez lying at his feet and clutching his powerful thighs,and Pete is holding his banjo aloft where it catches a bolt of lightning from a gathering storm).Yep...pistachios are still here! Man. I love this place. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: MMario Date: 20 Sep 00 - 05:17 PM MT - here is the current additions thread Usually Aine starts a new one when it starts getting too long to load. I think she has it traced - so though she probably wouldn't object to anyone starting one, using the sorta-semi-hemi-demi-psuedo-unofficial-official one is probably better, as if you start one on your own no telling if the keeper of the book might ever see it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: mousethief Date: 20 Sep 00 - 05:07 PM Can anybody start an "additions to mudcat songbook" thread, or is that Aine's provenance? Fortunately I can hold my scotch better than Mmario. I use my left front paw, usually. To hold my scotch. That's a joke, son, a joke. Right now what I could REALLY use, even more than a Scotch (though I wouldn't say no to two fingers of an old single malt, neat) is a nap. Are there any comfy sofas (davenports, couches, whatever) in quiet corners in this-here bar?

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: MMario Date: 20 Sep 00 - 04:59 PM MT - this is a tavern thread...by definition it consists of thread creep. Here would be one spot, or a seperate thread, or PM. But PM would deprive the rest of us from seeing it and kibitzing. That might be a plus. Or "additions to mudcat songbook" thread - though if a work in progress you might not want to do that..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: mousethief Date: 20 Sep 00 - 04:54 PM Ack! TYPE IN ALL THE COMMENTS?! Barkeep, make it a double! Followed by a Rusty Nail with a Glenlivet chaser! Question (sorry for the thread creep!): I'm writing a dark and fairly graphic song about domestic violence. Should I post it to a thread, or send it PM to people who want to see it? (I have several good friends, as well as my mother and grandmother, who were victims of domestic violence, and wanted to do a waker-upper song that raises the issue and speaks out for the victims. (The chorus starts, "This is your mother, this is your sister, this is your daughter, who will mourn? Who will grieve?")) Thanks everyone who has been so wonderful to me my first fortnight here at the 'Cat. (And to those who have flamed me, pbbbbbbth!)

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Noreen Date: 20 Sep 00 - 04:35 PM Sorry, mousethief, I wasn't casting aspersions on your typing skills -or anything else! I've just been watching MMario sidling up to you in this 'ere tavern, with a glint in his eye, and was trying to warn you to hide that copy of Child's Ballads that you're waving about....... oops, too late!!!! Double brandy over here, please, bartender- we have a mouse in shock! Noreen |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Robby Date: 20 Sep 00 - 03:46 PM Well, just let me let Spaw know that I did indeed get my cookie fixed, and while I'm not Sam Spade, I'm not Terrible Tom either. Thanks for the laugh. For our Guest, Mbo at ECU. I am not able to get you a copy of the video tape I made of the Corrs. I originally thought is was a group of brothers in the Pittsburgh who perform, interestingly enough as the Corrs Brothers, and two of whom, I think, own a nice little watering hole in Pittsburgh called the Harp and Fiddle. If the copy I accidently made wasn't on a tape of other things, the Irish Tenors is one I think, I'd send it to you. However, I have made an audio cassette copy from the video, in pseudo-stereo. If you would like a copy of the audio, send an e-mail to me at Meehan@puc.state.pa.us and give me your regular mailing address and I'll send you a copy. Fill 'er up again lads and lasses In the Year of Our Lord eighteen hundred and six we set sail from the cold quay of Cork We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks for the grand City Hall in New York. We'd an elegant craft; she was rigged fore and aft And how the trade winds drove her. She had twenty-three masts and she stood several blasts, And they called her The Irish Rover. |

Generally I'm called Spaw, although I've been called a few other things.......well, skip that...........As the biggest waster of bandwidth in the joint, you may already have encountered me somewhere, but I am really glad to see so many new folks in the village. I hope you all enjoy and learn from this place as much as I have. We have some fine, caring, helpful, compassionate, intelligent, and talented people here.............sadly, I'm not one of them but that's another story. If you have questions be sure to ask......someone will answer.....probably not me 'cause I don't know squat, but we do have some who do. I hope you all have explored the place a bit......check the stuff in the pull down menu under "Quick Links." AND...if things get too overwhelming and you feel addiction setting in....well that's normal....but treatment is available at the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed. We'll send the Insanevac chopper to pick you up. Enough of that........PRAISE!!! Get off your christly ass and bring me a Jack and coke......Just show the can to Jack and then throw it away....and make it a triple.....Gotta' get primed for Mudcat Radio tonight(7 PM Eastern US-Mudcat Time)......and put it on Bert's Visa...............say what?........Its full?........Well call and get a credit extension!!!

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: SDShad Date: 20 Sep 00 - 02:43 PM Lepus--North Branch, eh? Born in Red Wing, myself. I've lived most of my life in South Dakota, but my Dad's kin hail from Millville, Wabasha Co., near Rochester, on the Zumbro River, and that's as near as any place in the world to being "where I'm from." So, I've had the bar keep lay in a cold case of Hauensteins, and they've got some hamburger and tater tot (or whatever gramma found in the fridge) hot dish baking back in the kitchen. Have a Howie! Or two; they're cheap, and they'll go through ya faster'n you can sing: But one little thing can revive a guy, And that is home-made rhubarb pie. Serve it up, nice and hot. Maybe things aren't as bad as you thought. Mama's little baby loves rhubarb, rhubarb, Beebopareebop Rhubarb Pie. Mama's little baby loves rhubarb, rhubarb, Beebopareebop Rhubarb Pie.

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Catrin Date: 20 Sep 00 - 01:44 PM heave-awaaaaay, haul awaaaay (joining in). Nynia - I was a mature student too (35 when I graduated). I loved it. I found that being a wee bit older I had more experience to draw on and new concepts were easier (well, less difficult) to understand than might have been the case when I was eighteen. In fact when I was eighteen I was a complete scally and totally incapable of learning anything. It was the right time for me. I'm starting an MA in creative writing next week. Not for work or career or anything. Just because I love writing. And Jock CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! This round's on me. Catrin |

Thank you. I've passed through Mudcat-hood a few times before then moved here a couple of wheeks ago. I've met up with a few friends, posted a thread and joined a couple more.

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: mousethief Date: 20 Sep 00 - 01:35 PM I have the one-volume condensation made under the auspices of Child's widow, published I think 1905 by Cambridge University Press. Why do you ask?

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Robby Date: 20 Sep 00 - 01:18 PM Congrats!! Jock. May you and your lassie have many years of love and happiness. Me and my colleen are going on 30 of our own. Hey Arthur and Nynia, by any chance do either of you know of a Meehan's Pub or Bar (or similar designation) in or close to Dublin? I've been told that there is one. But there's probably plenty all over the island. Our children are proposing a trip to Ireland for our 31st, and it would be nice to find it and have our pictures taken in front of the place having our family name on it. They have suggested a two week stay in Ireland. However, we feel, since we'd be so close, that we'll also go to Scotland. Nynia, if you have any good suggestions on what to do or where to go, I'd like to hear them. By the way, good luck in your studies. Have you selected a major yet. Greetings, Carlin. Thought I'd let you know that I like the Pogues. I also enjoy listening to U-2, and just this last March, when taping a show on PBS, which I overtimed to account for pledge breaks, I found that I had taped a concert in London by the Corrs. Okay, after a glass or two now of the fine brown brew, I'll join in: I shook her up. I shook her down. Heave away! Haul away! I shook her round and round the town. We're bound for South Australia. Slainte gael mavourneen! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: guinnesschik Date: 20 Sep 00 - 01:09 PM Jock, thanks for the Lagavulin. One of my faves! And I'll follow that with a round for all, caffienated beverages included. Lepus Rex, I have to ask if you've ever seen one of my all time favorite bad movies, "Night Of The Lepus." It's about giant rabbits terrorizing a small town. Great fun! Mbo, walk over here, please, 'cause I love the smell of sawdust! And I promise to turn my head when I sneeze. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Peg Date: 20 Sep 00 - 12:29 PM ooh, Lagavulin! Nice! Cheers, Jock, to you and your lassie! May you have many happy days together!
(tastes the smoky, peaty, heathery nectar) I am no newcomer but am glad to see so many recently! I just wrote an article on single malts (sort of a how to for beginners on how to drink 'em) for a web magazine. Found myself wanting a Lagavulin cuz it is just about the best there is (though I am partial to Macallan!); so you have addressed a recent fantasy... Can I have a Bass Ale to chase it? (the only acceptable chaser in my book) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: GUEST,Mbo_at_ECU Date: 20 Sep 00 - 12:23 PM Hello newcomers! Please pardon the fact that I am covered in sawdust! Right then! Who wants to start a rousing chorus of Bonehead's Bank Holiday? --Matt |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: MMario Date: 20 Sep 00 - 12:11 PM bouncer? we have a bouncer? lot's of people here don't drink, or may only drink in virtual space. I tend to stick with highly caffienated beverages myself, though single malt scotches are rarely turned down. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Newcomers' Tavern From: Jock Morris Date: 20 Sep 00 - 12:10 PM Seeing as I got engaged to a lovely lass just a few days back, I'll treat all that want it to a single malt. Lagavulin alright for folks? Slainte |
