Subject: some people always here HOW? From: GUEST Date: 11 Oct 00 - 12:27 AM I have had too much time on my hands the last week or so and I have been poking around internet folk sights.... found this place. some of you folks seem to ALWAYS have way too much time on your hands. Your always posting and everyone knows you .You know who you are.Do you have jobs?I guess 9 out of 10 folks are musicians by nature of the site, WHEN DO YOU PLAY? When do you eat? sleep? do you leave the house?Do you get mail here? unfortunately, now I have to log on tommorrow for the answer. I got to say this place does have more than it's share of friendly , funny, intelligent, and informative conversation. That's why I'm concerned. I imagine your all growing pale and in need of a shave and a haircut squinting as you emerge into the light of day. WHAT GIVES |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Ebbie Date: 11 Oct 00 - 01:51 AM Oh, too funny. S/He's got us. In my case, Guest, this is the first year I have a lot of time to do this. (When you get old enough, you can do it too.) I sit down here probably 4 or 5 times a day- no, not all the mudcat. But I spend up to 7 hours a day on the computer. And of course, the mudcat is nicely accessible. (Except last weekend. Moaaaaan.) Ebbie |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Lyrical Lady Date: 11 Oct 00 - 02:18 AM HELP...please...HELP! I'm being kept here completely against my will! It was that MUSICMAN's fault ... he led me to this place and left me all alone! Sometimes I'm so scared...especially when RABBITTRUNNING comes along with that strange clock, and that KAT that does all that LAUGHING! Then there's that CAT with huge sPAWS that swats at everone...not to mention the MOUSE that steals everything! What a THEIF! I never really feel safe until NIGHT OWL whispers "OH OH, ICQ ICQ". Oh PRAISE be kind GUEST show me the way to go home... I'm tired and I wanna to go to bed! Lyrical Lady |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Peter Kasin Date: 11 Oct 00 - 02:19 AM Guest, please define "job" and "sleep." I'm not familiar with those words. |

Cheers |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: bbelle Date: 11 Oct 00 - 07:15 AM Actually, there's only one mudcatter, who uses 300 aliases. Better responses that way and regardless of who is arguing, he/she always wins. moonjen emerging from the twilight zone |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: wysiwyg Date: 11 Oct 00 - 07:45 AM Oh I have the best trick of all. I sleep soundly while God takes care of all my posts. See, He is always awake, just having too much fun I guess, watching over us, to sleep. He manages to drop my posts in at just the right moment. Oh I write them myself-- every word. But I never know when they need to be actually posted. You know, in response to what. (You don't think I actually READ all the threads I post in do you????) I just write when I feel like it and send it to my Infinite Spillover Provider, and He uploads the right post when needed from among what I have written. Neat trick, too, since He gives me little hints on what to write sometimes. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 11 Oct 00 - 08:39 AM I gave up a perfectly good job to go back to university (and thereby have constant (free) mudcat access). Er, I mean NOOOO, I'm working REALLY hard and I'll have that paper submitted by 4pm, HONEST. Reality is an illusion brought on by lack of drugs. |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: CamiSu Date: 11 Oct 00 - 08:42 AM If someone would just give me a few extra hours in the day, I'd maybe be able to get it all done.... and wouldn't be sleeping on mudcat time! |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Callie Date: 11 Oct 00 - 08:54 AM I don't spend all my time on Mudcat. Some of it I spend laughing at Bugsy! The quickest wit of the west! Callie |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: MMario Date: 11 Oct 00 - 10:30 AM I spent 5 (that's F*i*v*e*) entire days away from the MudCat! Who says I'm addicted! *thank god that's over! I didn't think I'd make it, despite regular pub sings, multiple songbook and CD purchases and a lot of "sing along" - five days!!!!! what was I; crazy? It's inhumane to have to go five days withou 'catting! * |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: hesperis Date: 11 Oct 00 - 01:06 PM There is mudcat and there is circle dance and there is song circle....... Sleep? Please translate that term into something I can understand.... Job? Seen any of those floating around Orillia lately? I do know WHAT a 'job' is, just haven't seen any............. BTW - Lyrical Lady: That was GOOOOD! |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Bill D Date: 11 Oct 00 - 03:18 PM ...and they told me that moving from a 14,400 modem to a 28,000 modem to a 56,000 modem would save time!...now I can waste the same amount of time, but get less thought into each post and read more posts from Amos & Spaw which I can barely comprehend!...if I get cable, or DSL, I can post with NO thought and read almost EVERYTHING with little comprehension!...Fortunately, I can handle it... |
|
Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Little Neophyte Date: 11 Oct 00 - 03:28 PM I am so happy to hear someone else has a comprehension problem around here. I try hard, I really do but I just don't understand a lot of what is posted. Maybe there should be a prefix: for Comprehension Impaired (CI) Guest, I bet you would see a whole lot more of my postings if there were CI threads available. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Joe Offer Date: 11 Oct 00 - 03:32 PM Gee, I thought this WAS my job. That's how I spend my time - exploring folk music. I suppose I could do it in a library, but there's an interactive nature to Mudcat that makes the research more interesting. This is a good base of operations, although I'm careful to be sure that I do lots of stuff in the real world, too. My other occupation is as a volunteer lay minister (I'm retired). This folk music stuff keeps me from getting too "churchy." -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Musicman Date: 11 Oct 00 - 03:44 PM little neo..... I think comprehension impaired is a symptom brought on by trying to follow any discussion that is involving spaw..... As many of us have seen, most of his 'words' make no sense whatsoever!! let alone follow any coherent pattern of thought.... I think this is brought on by too much time spend in front of the dancing catfish (top of the page).... Fortunately, most of us realize this fairly early on in our mudcat existance, and learn, with the help of others, to ignore the ramblings of our great and blabbering SPAW!!! who's got too much time on their hands for playing on the computer? (did I say playing?, I meant WORKING!) :-0 |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: bflat Date: 11 Oct 00 - 04:15 PM You mean this isn't the Mudclone Village where everyone has at least one other one who may also have one who could have two or three additional? How would that work exponentially? I fig'erd that was why some folks are everywhere all the time. bflat |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Rick Fielding Date: 11 Oct 00 - 05:29 PM I get paid for this. The B.A.P.O.C.A. (benevolent anarchist party of Canada and America) sent me here to keep an eye on Doug R. Actually I gave up TV (that's the truth) and (being sucky, but honest) I really like the vast majority of folks here. Oh....and Heather and I have NO kids (just cats) and if you don't think that frees up a HUGE amount of time.... Rick (addictive personality) |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Little Neophyte Date: 11 Oct 00 - 06:04 PM Just wait a second, if you saw how lovingly Rick and Heather treat their cats, you would swear they do have children. Rick, you know I am always available for babysitting when I am in town. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: catspaw49 Date: 11 Oct 00 - 06:09 PM I resent the implication that I am ever less that coherent although I am often adherent when I'm stuck on an issue of something like "People" which tend to come in all varieties like the pickles that glow in the dark or the ones that burn your tongue at McDonalds where the coffee is also too hot like a Habanero enema. Spaw |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Little Neophyte Date: 11 Oct 00 - 06:15 PM Why Catspay, I think you are very coherent, in fact, you are my best source of Coles notes. Everytime I don't understand anything around here, you explain it to me. I think they were referring to others, but they pick on you because you are so loveable. Its odd I know, but they are just expressing how much they love you. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Lyrical Lady Date: 12 Oct 00 - 01:16 AM HOW do I mudcat Let me count the ways. It must be the people here who brighten up my days! Incomprehensable blabbering or intellectual prat, Spaw keeps us all together. The Man's a gowd for a' that! With respect to Browning and Burns...oh... and Musicman! Cheers! Lyrical Lady

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: DougR Date: 12 Oct 00 - 01:26 AM I'll try to ease your burden, Rick, by staying very visable! Funny. You betch'a Ebby! DougR |

Subject: RE: some people always here HOW? From: Escamillo Date: 12 Oct 00 - 02:23 AM I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Once I was visiting some official Department to apply for a driving license, and for some reason that I don't remember, I said " ..I THINK THAT.." (and I said it in English!) .Immediately I was taken to the State Secretary of Intelligence, and compulsively hired as a spy, and assigned to investigate the intentions of evil folkies, bluers and celtics to culturally penetrate our traditions, that's why I'm here so frequently. My orders now are to prepare a counter-penetration weapon (a CD with some traditionals sung by myself) that they are planning to use (as a last resort, considering the probably high number of casualties) against that ill-intentioned campaign. Viva la patria. - Andrés
