Subject: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 12 Mar 03 - 02:20 PM coming down to the wire. you know who you are. *grin* your contribution needs to be winging it's way through the aether by the week's end. (or confirmed it's in snail mail) if you have no idea what I'm talking about you may PM me. if I already have your contribution - never mind. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Micca Date: 12 Mar 03 - 02:37 PM and are you in receipt of same? or both sames? |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 12 Mar 03 - 02:42 PM micca - I just requested confirmation on your package. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST Date: 12 Mar 03 - 03:24 PM Wouldn't a thread like this which means nothing to 99% of users be best moved to the BS section? Or conducted via PM? Joe/clones? |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Mar 03 - 03:28 PM I think I can safely say without breaking cover that it is a music-related project and that it is of interest to a number of actively participating Catters. No BS afoot here. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST Date: 12 Mar 03 - 03:33 PM Well why not do it via PM then? |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 12 Mar 03 - 03:34 PM Guest - it was deliberalty placed here for maximum visibility I would explain it for you - but it *is* a super secret project - so I can't except through PM's which you don't have access to. suffice it to say it won't be here long and that it is music related in the extreme |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 12 Mar 03 - 03:36 PM It *HAS* been done thorugh PM's for several months - with 4 days left to deadline I used this as a high visibility push to finalize |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Kim C Date: 12 Mar 03 - 03:37 PM Darn! I feel left out. ;-) |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Mar 03 - 03:46 PM I would bet good money there will be another opportunity before too long, Kim. It's too cool to do just once! You need only PM Mmario to inquire about this, but I am sure he will not forget who posted an interest in it in this thread, bwahahahahahhhh! If this did recur, there might even be a way found for Guests to participate via e-mail, via my motormice address. I have never known Mmario to be less than welcoming and inclusive. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST Date: 12 Mar 03 - 03:50 PM OK, Mmario. Sorry I guess I can wait 4 days. curious to know, mind... |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST Date: 12 Mar 03 - 03:54 PM 4 days left - St Patrick's day, obviously. American obsession with Irish traditional music above any other is a little sad in my opinion. I do however look forward to whatever 'it' is. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: katlaughing Date: 12 Mar 03 - 04:05 PM Nothing to do with St. Patrick's day, that's just the deadline. MMario, I've not received any confirmation on whether the files I sent made it or not. KimC, PM MMario, with four days, you may have something you could email him in time! |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST Date: 12 Mar 03 - 04:40 PM Damn, you Kat! (nothing nasty intended) I wrongly guessed Irish music, so what the hell is it? This is worse than Christmas Eve for a 5 year old! |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 12 Mar 03 - 04:43 PM sorry - what's worse - this is only the deadline for the first phase. The completion will be at some unspecified but hopefully not too long time in the future. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: katlaughing Date: 12 Mar 03 - 04:47 PM oh, vey! |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: JohnnyBeezer Date: 12 Mar 03 - 04:51 PM I myself am doing something very important on the 20th March which will have far-reaching consequences and massive collateral fall-out,but I'm not telling you what it is so there!! It's a secret! Yours covertly Johnny N |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Amos Date: 12 Mar 03 - 05:06 PM Good on ya, johnny -- I did somnething very important last week, as well. I'll tell you later, okay?? :>) A |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Mar 03 - 05:19 PM I could say something, but I won't! A Mudcat conspiracy theory.... hmmmm...... ~S~ |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Rustic Rebel Date: 12 Mar 03 - 05:40 PM I know I'll have to do something...then keep it secret too! |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: hesperis Date: 12 Mar 03 - 05:54 PM What??? |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST,Big Guest Date: 12 Mar 03 - 06:07 PM I know more than any of you about something, and it is not likely you will ever know. Only thing I will say about this thread is that either it is meant to create curiosity, or what the rank and file think about it doesn't matter. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Joe Offer Date: 12 Mar 03 - 06:57 PM If you'd like to e-mail me and ask, I'll tell you. It is indeed a worthy enterprise. --Joe Offer (click to e-mail)- |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Giac Date: 12 Mar 03 - 07:16 PM I would be curious to know if my submission was received. MMario, I did email it, but not to you, as you suggested. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 12 Mar 03 - 09:15 PM Giac - as soon as I know I will let you know. Everyone - I'm sorry to be so secretive - but my access time is limited these days and I didn't have time for another round of PM's. As I have said - if you PM me I will tell you what it's all about. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Stilly River Sage Date: 12 Mar 03 - 10:25 PM Oops--okay--I'll pm you soon. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 13 Mar 03 - 08:08 AM refresh |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Bullfrog Jones Date: 13 Mar 03 - 08:39 AM March 17th???... this is only the deadline for the first phase???... music-related in the extreme???. Omigod! You're gonna drop banjoes on Baghdad!!! BJ |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 13 Mar 03 - 08:42 AM don't be silly. Bodhrans. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Morticia Date: 13 Mar 03 - 08:43 AM MMario, did you do what we talked about and can you PM me with the detail as I'd like to know which you chose....sorry guys, this does sound like a conspiracy,doesn't it? |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Bagpuss Date: 13 Mar 03 - 08:45 AM How is it ultra secret if any member can find out by pming you?... |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 13 Mar 03 - 08:49 AM That's the beauty of it. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Bagpuss Date: 13 Mar 03 - 08:50 AM Yeah well i never wanted to be in your sinky club anyway! ;-P |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Bill D Date: 13 Mar 03 - 08:59 AM I know the secret, and will do MY part by pummeling (gently) the more musical part of my household...*grin* "banjos on Baghdad" weapons of mass distraction? |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: My guru always said Date: 13 Mar 03 - 09:10 AM This WILL be worth the wait...... Be patient CatsAll ;-) |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Mar 03 - 09:43 AM dropping pianos would do more collateral damage. . .but I like pianos and banjoes. . . how about dropping accordians instead? |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Micca Date: 13 Mar 03 - 10:13 AM or can I suggest accordianists? and Bodhranists Did anyone else notice that there was only 1 Bodhran in evidence at Loughstock during the ENTIRE w/e? and even that was a very late showing on the Sunday night? I thought Ireland was Hip-deep in the things!! |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: My guru always said Date: 13 Mar 03 - 10:57 AM Ha, I missed that Bodhran!!!! |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: C-flat Date: 13 Mar 03 - 11:48 AM Bodhrans - Weapons of mass percussion? |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Morticia Date: 13 Mar 03 - 11:53 AM C'flat.....kindly come here so I can smack your legs *G*. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Rapparee Date: 13 Mar 03 - 02:14 PM I checked, and I was right: the use of bodhrans, banjoes, and/or accordians (or any variation thereon) is explicitly forbidden by the Geneva Convention, the Rules of Land Warfare, two hundred and sixteen different treaties, and good taste. They are considered WMDs: Weapons of Musical Dementia. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 13 Mar 03 - 02:25 PM bagpipes then? |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Mar 03 - 02:43 PM The Sack of Iraq? ducks and runs away real fast |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Mudlark Date: 13 Mar 03 - 02:50 PM I'm working on it...if I can't get it to fly, I'll let you know over the weekend, so you wont be waiting for it. (Up in the air, junior birdmen!) |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Date: 13 Mar 03 - 02:56 PM grazie! |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Giac Date: 13 Mar 03 - 05:24 PM Still grazie after all these years -- Ex-junior birdman gleefully making goggles with fingers, and preparing to fling a banjo player from the parapet -- "If you do not disarm ... we will taunt you again ..." Oh, never MIND! |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 13 Mar 03 - 06:45 PM I'll try, MM, I really will! |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Paul G. Date: 13 Mar 03 - 09:56 PM Well, I've sent mine -- and a right lovely one at that. But please...don't tell anyone. Paranoia strikes deep.... |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Yorkshire Tony Date: 13 Mar 03 - 10:09 PM I read a very funny article about a plan to drop French existentialist philosophers on Baghdad unfortunately I seem to have lost it. Perhaps they could be taught to play the Bodhran first for additional impact. |
Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Hrothgar Date: 14 Mar 03 - 04:07 AM No wonder so many of us are paranoid! |
