BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!!

Subject: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 21 Dec 01 - 05:46 PM The dictionary defines "faux pas" as "a social blunder". Now we all know that Spaw has committed many of these, but I think it's time to put our heads together and decide which one was the worst of them all! So...what could it be? Which was his most tasteless, offensive, embarrassing, inane, and bone-headed act or statement of all time? (On Mudcat or off it...) One thing, though: I suggest we avoid the subject of farts altogether, since there's been far too much emphasis on that already...and it's the lazy man's way of defining Spaw. So leave out the fart stories, and concentrate on his more unique and distinctively memorable offenses...which are many!!! Go to it, folks.

Now we all know that Spaw has committed many of these," Are you seriously suggesting that our friend Spaw, he of the exquisite social skills and unfailing delicacy of speech, could perpetrate a "fox pass"? Oh, no, I can't believe it! Say it isn't true! Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Steve in Idaho Date: 21 Dec 01 - 06:01 PM It isn't true Dave - If you will note the posts of the past several days. These are the true Spaw. Consistently kind and thoughtful, gazing into the eyes of his true love, and constantly on alert for opportunities to be of assistance to those who would be more road weary than himself. I am just appalled at the idea of Spaw doing other than the above. And Little Hawk - how could you accuse our wandering mistrel of such? Steve But there was the tongue thing with the little rat. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 21 Dec 01 - 06:11 PM Admittedly, Spaw has made a number of posts recently which seem to emanate from a kindly heart, a perceptive mind, and a noble character... But just wait till he gets elected!!! :-) I'm not fooled. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: artbrooks Date: 21 Dec 01 - 06:51 PM I've only been around the Mudcat for about eleven months. There have been SO MANY possible candidates for this high (low?) honor in that period of time that I cannot even envision the possibilities that stretch further backward in time. It has become clear to me that a kind, sensitive human being dwells beneath that sarcastic, flatulence-obsessed exterior. Huuum...must be the season... You veteran Catters go ahead; I can't wait to see what I missed! |

From: GUEST,Jon Date: 21 Dec 01 - 07:14 PM Little Hawk, You strike me as being quite unpleasant Would you care to give your real name, please, and let people from several continents poke fun at the stupid things that you've said? I await your reply Jon |

Subject: RE: DON'T POST TO THIS THREAD!!!
There once was a bird from Orillia However I think my vote for "greatest Faux Pas of all time!!!" would probably go to this thread... BS: CarolC's Decision:NewBoyfriend or Ferret (...at least it would if I hadn't enjoyed it so much.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Amos Date: 21 Dec 01 - 07:26 PM Well, not to resort to shillelagh law or anything, but there WAS the gaffe he made when he said: "Welcome to the Mudcat, Little Hawk!! Glad you're here!". Ah well...maybe his feet ARE made of Cleigh! A

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: MMario Date: 21 Dec 01 - 07:51 PM Don't forget the time he specifically told us he would be back from a weekend off the cat - and didn't show up! I mean, the man has to get his priorities straight. to let a little thing like a bleeding aneurism keep him from a social commitment! |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: GUEST Date: 21 Dec 01 - 08:00 PM So is the consensus that 'Little Hawk' is a piece of shit? |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: GUEST Date: 21 Dec 01 - 08:15 PM Carol C, How anyone who starts such a mean thread can be 'great' Maybe you know something I don't |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: CarolC Date: 21 Dec 01 - 08:18 PM Little Hawk thinks very highly of Spaw. He starts threads like this one because he wants Spaw to play with him. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 21 Dec 01 - 09:33 PM Hey Hawk! Fo Paw this......
BBRRRAAAAWWWWMMMPPSo looking for my greatest huh? Hard to say really.....Do intentional ones count? I mean with the possible exception of your own lame ass attempts at keeping the Shatner thing alive, I am the undisputed King of gragging along the long running joke, no matter how inane, silly, tasteless, or completely stupid:
*Cleigh O'Possum And that's not to mention the other shorter term wackiness that I only let go of when someone is about to kill me, such as the latest with the New and Improved Gordon Bok Fan with the cookie duster HEPA filter. There's been so many of them foisted upon individual 'Catters that they escape my memory. What was I beating Carol to death with when she was up there visiting? Then the tasteless stuff (like the rest isn't) such as Leej referred to with Oklahoma reference (old 'Catters might remember) and beating Rick to death with the tale of Pedro the Implosive 12 String. Sad but true.......Look up faux pas and my picture is right there. Extends right into real life too.......My sailing partner Bill and I sailed past the local yacht club's beautiful old clubhouse after winning a regatta, got out our anti-pirate yacht cannon (water balloon sling shot) and gave them a "moon salute" followed by a few volleys which broke off part of an old decorative railing and a raingutter downspout. They kept the crummy silver plate and banned us from competing for the season, even after we paid for the damage! No sense of humor....... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 21 Dec 01 - 09:40 PM God, I love the GUESTS who drop in here...but not as much as I love old Catspaw49 (GUESTS...that is Spaw's entire name on this site). Keep the kind words coming...please! Spaw must be taking the evening off, I suppose, or he would have shown up by now. GUEST, Jon - If you really must know, my real name is Wayne Jacob Caddlesworth the Third. I live in a tiny place called Dead Falls. It's out west. If you can guess which state or province it's located in, I will tell you even more than that. I am always kind to my fans, especially the really touchy and humourless ones, because they need a gentle hand to guide them. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 21 Dec 01 - 09:59 PM Spaw! You rascal, you slipped your response in there while I was typing. There, GUESTS! See? He admits to all of it. You humourless, toadying, pretentious little gits...eat that! (Oops...forgot to be gentle. Oh, well.) Spaw, I am miffed that you would refer to my "attempts at keeping the Shatner thing alive" as "lame ass". My dear fellow. William Shatner is a cultural icon of simply measureless dimensions. His acting is without peer. His reputation is the most well-deserved one in Hollywood. He sings Mr. Tambourine Man in a fashion which no one else has been able to match or even approach. William Shatner doesn't need me to raise his profile on Mudcat. Face it, he's immortal and irresistable. My occasional references to him are only the humble acknowlegements of a mere common soul confronted by a collosus in the field of the Fine Arts. By the way, I love the yachting club incident! Nice going! Tally Ho! - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Bert Date: 22 Dec 01 - 12:14 AM A Faux Pas is a mistake. All of Spaws postings and insults are deliberate. Although I do seem to recall there was one posting where he was polite and kind (not to me though). Now THAT one was probably a mistake. |

You people shouldn't poke fun at a living legend, I dont't care how obnoxious he seems. He's not obnoxious, weeeellllll, except for those obnoxiouly toxic pooh gas attacks. All hail Spaw.

Be more in the class of a complete fuck up, not a social blunder. Faux pas ? Can't remember one. Now, where's that submit button again ? |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: MMario Date: 22 Dec 01 - 08:17 AM geez, garg. at least little hawk and 'spaw are capable of telling the DT and the Mudcat apart. unlike some people. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: kendall Date: 22 Dec 01 - 08:42 AM Spaw is one of the funniest people I have never met. Little Hawk is intelligent, thoughtful and obviously has more than a teaspoon full of brains. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Amos Date: 22 Dec 01 - 11:08 AM Obviously this thread is riddled with delusory trivia. Little Hawk, for example, has substituted his delusions about a certain second-rate, mostly forgotten thespian of yore for a creative contribution to the Cat. Gargoyle has submitted his delusion that the Cat and the DT should be called by the same name. Little Hawk has further added to the unreality by initiating a whole thread on the off-the-wall notion that Catspaw49 is capable of "false steps", social blunders, inappropriate remarks, or actions beyond the pale of acceptability in our society. It is clear from Catspaw49's iconic status in this particular environment that Little Hawk is deluded, and also barking up the wrong tree, has a wrong number, and is in other ways of error to boot. Let's get real, guys! A |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Dec 01 - 11:54 AM Yes, Amos, and I am also "a couple beers short of a 6-pack"! (To quote a phrase beloved of the local hosers in this town...) I truly admire your command of the English language, Amos. More mutual admiration, Gargoyle! How irritating it must be for you to have to read this sort of trivial fluff, which wastes the valuable time of the Mudcat on merely having a laugh or two, when we could be looking up the various different lyrical versions of "House Carpenter" (all 156 of 'em), comparing the differences in an erudite fasion, and determining which, out of all of them, was the first, and therefore definitive version... Amos - to call William Shatner "second-rate" is hardly adequate...he sets a thespian standard which is beyond comparison to any other, I think. It is on a firm understanding of this that the William Shatner School of BAAAAAD Acting was founded, and upon this standard that its curriculum is built. "To Boldy Go Where No Educational Institution Has Gone Before!" is our motto, emblazoned in gold above the entrance gates. We live by that motto every day. Larry - Only if it's a VERY LOUD watch! - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Dec 01 - 12:09 PM Actually Hawk, what Larry is referring to is the replacement mitral valve in my heart which at times you can hear clicking as it opens and closes. Fortunately I rarely hear it but it can be noticed by others at times and makes me an ideal candidate for Captain Hook. On the other hand, listening to it click reassures me that I am still alive......I click, therefore I am. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Dec 01 - 12:26 PM Oh, I see... Well, I should think that would be the least of your problems when visiting the Opera. :-) Did you ever see the Don Martin comic version of "Swan Lake", starring Fester Bestertester and Karbunkle? (speaking of opera...) - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: CarolC Date: 22 Dec 01 - 01:32 PM I used to have a dog named Fester Bestertester. But she never went to the opera. (Not that I know of anyway.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Amos Date: 22 Dec 01 - 02:36 PM I would think it would be To Mouldy Grow Where None Have Cared to Go...., LH. :>) Old Spaw gets a new slogan -- He takes a licking and keeps on clicking! (Don't bother suggesting using the second verb in both places!) A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!! From: Bill D Date: 22 Dec 01 - 03:39 PM ...none of you have a clue!...'spaw's greatest faux pas was in reading Kierkegaard in his youth! It is obvious what that experience has done to his cerebral cortex. Cletus and the Reg boys are not improvised characters...they are manifestations of multiple-personality disorder!
