Btw, I had posted question #4 about that astrology thread that Daylia posted heavily to {its name is something like "Zodiac signs do you believe?"}

The answer I was thinking of was "autolycus" .

134. Which Catter cooks extinct wildlife? [CRN]

That would be MMario, who grills aurochs in the Tavern.

I believe Max has that privilege.

136. With which mudcatter(s) does a certain, disreputable hound with strong affiliations to this site reside?[CRN]

The duckdog Gluon resides in the interstices among quanta touching the hearts and minds of the MOABites.

Couple of errors, Azizi.

#93 - I answered that one here

#132 - this has not been answered correctly. Madlion does not have the original spud. She has one of my beanbag spuds, but this is not the original. That is in the possession of another Mudcatter, as I intimated in a post above.

Keep up the good work. I love this thread.

Who or what is a duckdog?

A duckdog is a cross between a duck and a dog. The duckdog with whom most* Mudcatters are familiar is named Gluon. Gluon is a cross between a Mallard duck and an Airedale dog, which makes him a Mallairedale. Gluon has a one-word vocabulary, that one word being a cross between a quack and a bark, usually written as

QUARK!!!

However, Gluon is able to use subtle variances in tone and emphasis to communicate a universe of ideas using that single word. His posts are usually followed by a translation, as in:

QUARK!!!

(Translation: If you think tooth decay is a problem, just wait until you've experienced a bout or two of proton decay!)

Being both a duckdog and a subatomic particle at the same time and, therefore, able to manifest himself as either a particle or a wave, Gluon is not subject to many of the "laws" that govern normal states of being. We humans may not be able to know Gluon's location and velocity both at the same time, but Gluon always knows right where he is and precisely how fast he's going.

*"Most" is a relative term. In this instance it means more like "seven or eight".

Well, challenges and growth comes when you least expect it.

Thanks, folks, for "keepin it real".*

And since I'm here, here's a couple of new questions:

****

Okay..here's two more questions:

Which Mudcatter uses one letter for his name & usually responds to music queries or makes his own queries about information pertaining to specific folk songs?

Which Mudcatter who lives in the land down under has a reference to that in her Mudcat name?

The answer to question 108 must be Skipjack K8 (aka The Lord of Lard and Animal Oils and Fats) and who is busy magnating such products as we post.

Question: Which Mudcatter did Isaac McKittery swim the oceans to be with for the chance of a houl' only to be thwarted by an ice-cream man?

Jimmy, if I remember correctly, the meeting you refer to happened a few seconds before I first met the two of you on the very same bridge :-). It was a few yards up the canal from where I got a soaking the following day when the tow path collapsed beneath me!.

Allan C being the Virginian in quiestion I believe.

Lin in Kansas,

Your response to the Mudcatter with the one letter name is correct.

However, Mo the caller gave the correct answer for "the Mudcatter who lives less than 5 minutes [drive] from Stephen Foster's home".
That's little ole me and that rhymes with Z and ...whatever [I haven't figured out the rest of that song and I've even drawn a blank where the heck that ditty comes from...

Anyway, few people in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and elsewhere know that Stephen Foster, composer of numerous songs including Camptown Races, and My Ole Kentucky Home lived in Pittsburgh. There is even some dispute if Foster ever traveled to the Southern part of the USA.

I had mentioned that tidbit of information on a thread a while ago, and also mentioned it on this current thread that was started by another Pittsburgh area Catter: thread.cfm?threadid=92508&messages=11

Redsnapper, the traveler is the best judge of whether he or she is on the right track.

But I have to tell you, I like the Mighty One reference. And while on one level "The Great & Mighty Azz" is complimentary, I prefer the "Great & Mighty Z".

I can't decide whether I like the Kung Fu Grasshopper allusions, or the Wizard of Oz ones.

And he is a founding partner in LFPS, and he came up with the idea of a logo, which was further designed by a Mudcatter. The bonus question for the Amos' original question is; Who is the Mudcatter who designed the LFPS logo?

BTW, a hint to the original question is: He has a mustachio designed for a 7 foot tall cowboy. Unfortunately it is attached to a 5 foot body. The good news is that he also has the heart of a lion in that body.
