Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Rick Fielding Date: 25 Aug 99 - 12:28 AM I THOUGHT I'D FIND YOU ALL IN HERE! Is Catspaw waving his "Dried Dork Shaker" at you Jeri? Oh Pat, I guess I forgot to tell you about the curse on it. Whatever you do Capt. Bob, Mick, Kat, Susan, Jer, don't let him get close to you with that thing. The only way to break the curse of "Rasputin's Shaker" (that's it's real name, so I don't have to see him mis-spell maracca anymore) Oh where was I ...oh yes, once you've seen it or heard about it, the only way to break the curse is to sleep with it's current owner! See, over the years, well...I just got plumb warn out! Rick (not cursed anymore) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: katlaughing Date: 25 Aug 99 - 12:48 AM Aw, Mick, darlin', you'll never convince me of the tastiness o the vile black stuff, Roman collar or no! Tho I am LOL at the thought of that cartoon! Jeri, I know the fudge was great, but Susan's idea with the coconut would be a lot easier to wash off! Where's LeeJ? And, who was delivering stuff for the pool...MMario? Nice rattly sound there, 'Spaw. Sleep tight....and good first day at school for the boyz and all. Oh, and you can just forget about that curse thing Fielding mentioned! Nothing compels ME, except well...let me see the size of your hands,there....tch! Have you heard about the Mudcat Fertility Rites, lately??? Another round fer us all! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Jeri Date: 25 Aug 99 - 12:58 AM Er, Rick...Catspaw's the owner, and you got over the curse? Nah, never mind. Don't worry, I've always been wary of men who offer to let me play their 'shakers.' We probably won't have much to worry about anyway - it looks like Koko's presently got ahold of it. Catspaw, just say you're sorry and buy her a banana daquiri! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Roger the zimmer Date: 25 Aug 99 - 03:59 AM Just when I lost the jello delivery job, you all come back. However, all is not lost, my group at the Neil Young Center (Elvis, Invisible Eddie and Hiroshi) have started making our own batch in handicraft sessions. No gelatin, only kelp-derived product. The first batch is lime and tequila flavour so... enjoy. Sorry we've had to use a handcart, they won't let us use the Center's padded van. What the ***** was that that just missed me? Possum darts yet! No, thanks, I don't need my ears pierced. Who's dropped some money on the floor? I'll just bend down to...AAAARGH! Who shouted "bullseye" ?NOT funny Tara a bit. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: alison Date: 25 Aug 99 - 04:40 AM Lime and tequila flavour eh? I think it's time for the rematch Harpy? ...(remember we whupped Big Mick and Art, back a few taverns ago!!) Come on guys who's going to challenge the reigning champions? oh... and seeing it's tequila... do we get bonus prizes for finding the worm???? *grin*

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Llanfair Date: 25 Aug 99 - 04:46 AM "Sigh" Half a pint of horse-pee and a packet of crisps, please. Bron. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 25 Aug 99 - 05:22 PM HA! I'm BACK. Somebody sweep up the floor in this joint, for cryin' out loud, y'slobs! I had a little jaunt to Reno to take care of some bidness, y'know. But I'm back, and I'm whippin' up a pitcher of Claymore Mines- that's Ale-8-one and Everclear for the unenlightened. I've installed seat belts on the bar stools for any who want to partake. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: jon a Date: 25 Aug 99 - 08:03 PM Hi guys! Just got back from 10 days in Ireland and not one drop of Guiness! it's just not for me! To paraphrase one of their advert's "Guinless is good for you!". Found a nice Irish mead though. I missed popping in here and I'm well behind on Gossip. Sorry for your loss Doug, remember the good times- no one can take away memories. I think I would like a mead and an Irish Coffee please landlord and maybe some nuts to go with. let,s see if I can remember a song to murder, maybe Ellen Vannen perhaps! Jon |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Susan A-R Date: 25 Aug 99 - 10:21 PM Say, here's a peace offering for Koko, nice bananna lassi, about the only thing that was left in the Kitchen today when I closed. Say, I think tha tI could even throw those darts as accurately as S'paw and Jeri. Say, Mick, give me some of those pink nosed ones before you go off to tequila wrestle with the FAIR ONE (How do you get those lovely colored letters??)

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Roger the zimmer Date: 26 Aug 99 - 04:07 AM ...quick dash in with the coconut pudding, sorry if there are stones in it, the cook at the NYCFTTS is not cordon bleu , more "Gordon Bennett!". Just time to go to the Mudcat Anonymous meeting before I pick up my 82 year old father from the station. No John Lee Hooker but he sings better than me, only 1940s pops tho', not to mention "Bless 'em all"! Enjoy:it's got to last till Monday Tara a bit. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Director, Neil Young Center Date: 26 Aug 99 - 10:53 AM You can't believe anything that Roger tells you, we've no Elvis, Eddie or Hiroshi here, and he doesn't use a zimmer. We're increasing his medication (you should see what he's been getting up to in the kitchem, jello, coconut pie!) so don't expect to see him till at least Wednesday. I'm not sure he should be drinking at all with his personality problem. (He should get one!) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: MMario Date: 26 Aug 99 - 11:12 AM I missed out on Lime & Tequila? Shoot! Not to keen on the banana. Say! Somebody DID frame the "Nursery Rhyme" thread....but that's the first time I've ever seen a frame that was 8 inches wide and almost 16 feet long! intersting how it bends at the bottem and continues out across the dance floor. That's not going to make the dancing any easier! Got a new tape recorder last night, the old one decided that it was going to record the sound of the tape turning louder then anything else....makes it kinda hard to hear the music... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: catspaw49 Date: 26 Aug 99 - 11:23 AM Before you you go Hugo.....uh,...er, ...Dr. Quackenbush....We've got another of our compatriots in need of treatment. Nice fellow, environmentalist....seems to have gone over the edge. He is now dressing up herons to look like Waylon Jennings.....No Shit Doc....He gives them little cowboy hats, vests, boots, and a Telecaster or a Guild if they want, then plunks them back down in the marsh. Got a tiple for him right here if you've got a room....Yeah, that's OK....put him next to Zim...........thanks Doc. Hey Beebs, get me a coffee with a splash of rum.......big splash...........All the kids are in school today so it's time I get my Fall routine going.............Sounds like your job at school may be jeopardized by your association with possum blowers, wacky delivery men, Jello wrestlers, hokey pokey dancers, heron dressers, and all those tiple players from the "Neil Young Center fo the Terminally Screwed."...........Not to mention Duane's recent arrest for "perverted acts with a telescope"..............Is he back from the Center yet?........Peter T. and Zimmy are both checking in today..............Got anymore Bearclaws?........Damn they were GREAT!!!...........Whaddaya' mean?.......Cleigh ate them???.....What a pisser........well just the coffee I guess........... Spaw |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: MMario Date: 26 Aug 99 - 11:56 AM y'know, it seems people on the 'Cat have more interesting wildlife living around their places then I do.... 'Spaw has a 'possum who travels and communicates on the web; there are herons out there dressing as Waylon Jennings,(none of the Blue Herons around MY pond have ever done that!) and all I got around my place are a bunch of gold fish and frogs that can't tell spring from fall and a couple of horses that think they are guard dogs. The dog is too busy shedding to do anything, and the cats are being....well, cats. And the stupid geese fly east and west instead of north and south! coffee...I need coffee... 11 days until it's "ohmygodfortysevenschooldistrictsandtheyareallbackatworkandnoonecanremembertheirpassword"week |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: DougR Date: 27 Aug 99 - 12:02 PM JonA Ten days in Ireland and not a drop of Guinness! Howdjadoit? Did you find some good Pubs featuring traditional Irish music, though? Good to have you back. DougR |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: MMario Date: 27 Aug 99 - 02:26 PM *whew!* okay - I have GOT to be crazy! Found a textfile copy of Child's ballads...but it's formatted for a database...lots of scummy extraneous stuff in it... only 1694 pages left to edit! Hope the wonder caffiene machine can stand up to the use I'll be giving it for awhile! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: jon a Date: 27 Aug 99 - 07:42 PM Thanks Doug, good to be back! No pubs! too busy "doing" museum, but did have a few very good camp fires, a couple indoors even, I managed to share in some wonderful traditional Irish music along with modern songs from all around, and a few traditional songs from elsewhere as well. While I,m here I think a glass or two of white wine please landlord, and a toast to all here, "to good company," Think I will find a cat to sit on my lap, give it a nice gentle stroke, and relax in this fine atmosphere. It is great to listen to music in pleasant surroundings, any suggestions anyone! Jon |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: MMario Date: 31 Aug 99 - 03:49 PM Wonder if we can import Taydo Snacks here? Would go nice with the coffee.... Just goin' inta the corner there and relax a bit for going home. The thought for the day was a little emotional.... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: katlaughing Date: 31 Aug 99 - 06:32 PM MMario: what are Taydo Snacks??? And....I agree, the thought for the day was intense and, as ever, really important. Feeling a little under, today, maybe some sort of hot toddy, actually just herbal tea sounds really good. Do we have any really good ceramic teapots in this place? I'd like to smell some mint or chamomile tea steeping and cup my hands around the pot; such a simple thing can bring such comfort of association and healing. Sorry....don't mean to get all maudlin. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: alison Date: 01 Sep 99 - 02:19 AM Think (and hope) he means Tayto... best cheese and onion crisps ... I left a link in the "boys of Tandragee" thread. slainte alison |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 01 Sep 99 - 02:27 AM The bartender swabs the bar top one more time, surveying the clientele. "Yep," he says," this used to be the spot. They were all here: Fielding, Spaw, Art. Hell, Big Mick swam in Guiness jello in that very spot where you're standing." He smiles wistfully. "Now most nights it's just me and the beatnick spooks over in the corner. Oh, sure, they still stop in.. usually for a coffee nowadays. But all the hard-drinking patrons have headed off to other threads. You'll find em talking about Woody, or stupid questions, or who discovered Iceland...." He begins to stack the wooden chairs upside down on the tables. "Eight threads, though. Quite a mile stone." He turns the "OPEN" sign around. The glow of the neon Mudcat Tavern sign makes a pool of blue light on the old wooden floor. "I guess it's enough to know that it will always be here, a place where the Mudcatter's soul can find kinship and sustenance, a quiet port in stormy seas." The bartender slides the brass key slowly from the ring, and slides it across the bar." Here," he says, "you lock up after you finish your drink. I'm going to walk home." Humming a tune that sounds like The Streets of Laredo , the bartender closes the door behind him and fades into the darkness of Tiple Street.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Roger the zimmer Date: 01 Sep 99 - 05:33 AM "Woke up this morning..." Elvis, Invisible Eddie and Hiroshi have gone. The staff at the Center say they were never here. Must be the new medication they gave me, the weekend is a blur. The new medication tasted of absinthe...I do miss them. Perhaps it is true that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: DougR Date: 01 Sep 99 - 03:29 PM Geeze! Ain't nobody behind the bar? I just learned from DR. Rick Fielding that I may have caught acousticitis which is a forerunner of becoming a acoustiholic. I thought maybe a jugger of Bushmills would help me ward it off. Alright, I'll go back behind the bar and pour it myself. While I'm there, anybody else want anything? DougR |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Uilleand Date: 01 Sep 99 - 04:01 PM Yeah, I'll have some. Has been one hell of a day at work. Looks like we're the only ones in here. Wonder where everyone went? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: katlaughing Date: 01 Sep 99 - 04:11 PM Count me in, DougeR....I'm ready for something stronger than tea now! That was a hell of an exit for a barkeep, LeeJ! Guess this might become the wave of the future, eh, self-serve taverns???
|
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: MMario Date: 01 Sep 99 - 04:19 PM absinthe, everclear, whatever. Make mine a triple. I can't WAIT for "crazy week" to be over. And it hasn't even STARTED yet!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: jon a Date: 01 Sep 99 - 06:54 PM Seems like it,s one of those days all week this week, and it don't seem to matter who you are or where you live; a 'catter thing maybe? I'll take a drink with you please Doug! Good times to us all! Jon |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 01 Sep 99 - 11:51 PM I can't help grinning seeing Doug with that ol' Mudcat Tavern apron on. And come to think of it, I WILL have a drink barkeep. Make it a Four Roses rocks while I mull over the outline of the plot for True Detective Stories The Return of Blake Madison . Set in New Orleans, murder of a famous Bluesman... pass me a pen and a couple napkins, Doug! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: WyoWoman Date: 02 Sep 99 - 01:12 AM Ok, Ok. Everyone make way. We've got a delivery here for the Smoothie Pit. Gallons and gallons of bananas, strawberries, cherries (!), and watermelon all whirrred up with a bit of ice. A refreshing replacement for that goopy ol', tired ol' Jello pit. And not a calorie to show for it if you choose to lick it off a compatriot. Kat, does that make you happy? AND -- a watermelon seed-spitting contest when we finally get to the bottom of the pit! A perfect end to a perfect summer!

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: katlaughing Date: 02 Sep 99 - 01:21 AM WW, sure, except it's FULL of carbos, doncha know? But, oh, heck, lickin' it off...sounds enticing! Add a little tequila and we sould have a LOT of fun! There, Max, now you're not having that black & tan alone. Here we come, to the Mudcat! TaRa! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: WyoWoman Date: 02 Sep 99 - 01:25 AM Yessss. Black and Tan, my fave. Who's bartending this round? Set me up, see voo play... ww |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Max Date: 02 Sep 99 - 01:35 AM One for the road please, good night all, had a great day, found a new hobby. Love you all. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: DougR Date: 02 Sep 99 - 02:30 AM Lonsome EJ: Glad you like my apron. Got it at Wal-Mart on sale. WyoWoman, I like your spirit. I'm in to losing weight so if lickin' will do it, I'm for it. Just don't point me toward Bid Mick. I like girls. I'll do one more round and then I'm going to the other side of the bar where old folks belong. DougR |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Roger the zimmer Date: 02 Sep 99 - 05:00 AM A large Greek please, thanks. Melon spitting, ah, a hobby at last! I'll practice here then take on a few bets back at the Neal Young Center. Better than making raffia tiples and jello possums. Ya Mas. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Neil Lowe Date: 02 Sep 99 - 08:31 AM Leej: you suppose Neal ever found his father?...and did Jack ever find the meaning of the belly button lint he was forever searching for (and wouldn't it have been a shameful waste of time to have slogged completely through On The Road only to have come to that conclusion?...better to have reached that summation early on, so as to move on to bigger and better things, after the first forty pages or so...)...and do you suppose old Bill Lee ever stops looking for shotgun shells and .44 magnum rounds (I hope so)?...you think Kesey ever found Merlin?....did Baba Ram Dass find spiritual enlightenment?...and did Tim Leary find Owsley or Dr. Albert Hoffman waiting for him upon his 'going over' from one illusory and superficial reality to the ultimate and final 'trip' at the end of that hallucinatory rainbow? Just curious.... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: WyoWoman Date: 02 Sep 99 - 10:12 AM Neil, the answer to all your questions is "a qualified yes." Doug -- yes, but it takes a lot a' lickin' to lose a pound or two. I fear if it's weight loss you're looking for you'll just have to head back to Velcro wall. Now THAT takes some large muscle movement. Kat, I'm thinking we should throw a few kiwis in the mix. What do you say? ww |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Uilleand Date: 02 Sep 99 - 11:27 AM I'm all for some kiwis and some mangoes while you are at it. Watch out I'm diving in! Anyone for some jello pit polo? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: MMario Date: 02 Sep 99 - 11:48 AM Watch the splash factor! It's a lot higher with smoothies then with jello! *grabs towel, wipes face, counter* Anyone got a mop? Wyo - thanks for asking about the tune for "Silently" - hope you manage to hear it. Listening to RickF (via the mudcat radio archive) at the moment - don't know WHY RA is working at the moment, but I'm taking advantage of it before the shut it off at the firewall on me.... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Uilleand Date: 02 Sep 99 - 11:57 AM Oops---sorry about the mess. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Neil Lowe Date: 02 Sep 99 - 12:36 PM Wyowoman....whew! Thanks. That takes a load off....Now I can devote my time to more intrinsic pursuits, like figuring out where all the billions of pounds of rubber that's worn off automobile tires every year goes to.... Regards, Neil (who in no way intends to offend or impugn anyone's beliefs: philosophical, spiritual, or otherwise; but who, by way of explanation to anyone that actually gives a damn, finds himself in yet another characteristically sarcastic, cynical and crappy mood; and admonishes those who might be so inclined to aforementioned offense to not pay any attention whatsoever. Offer void where the endless void exists. See store for details. Soon [hopefully] the medication will work its wondrous magic.) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: DougR Date: 02 Sep 99 - 03:03 PM WyoWoman: I suppose one could lose the outer layer of skin on one's tongue should one lick fast enough to lose ten pounds in a week, es so? I guess I'll just have to take up jogging. I guess I could go on a solid diet of jello, but after everbody has been swimming in it, I don't know. If the velcro wall was back up Big Mick could throw me up against it, but then it would be him getting the exercise instead of me! I guess I'll just have to think on it. Since I am now on the other side of the bar, bbc, would you draw me a Black and Tan? I say bbc, because you've spent enough time getting back to the old school routine. Time to get back to important things ... like pouring! DougR |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: Bert Date: 02 Sep 99 - 03:52 PM Now you've got the Everclear out - gimme a Sid and tonic. Bert. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: alison Date: 02 Sep 99 - 09:29 PM OK.... I'm sensing a desire for people to get fit here......... Dump that sand in the corner thanks.......... Indoor beach volley ball starts just as soon as I can connect the other end of this net to that banjo up on the wall.... The rest of you can start picking teams...... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Pub - Round 8 From: alison Date: 02 Sep 99 - 09:39 PM Well, while the boys are flattening the sand I thought we should all hold hands and walk through the magic portal to Mudcat Tavern - round 9 |
