Subject: Netiquette for 'Catters From: lamarca Date: 19 Oct 99 - 11:47 AM Acting as Miss Manners again, I thought I'd post a small reminder for 'Catters new and old... This is a real friendly place, but folks should remember that things put up on threads are available to EVERYONE on the Web, not just our own community. Please bear that in mind when discussing things like medical problems, personal addresses and phone numbers, and other stuff that you might not want viewed by the person you're criticizing (or praising). If you're going to post personal information about another person, please make sure you have his/her permission to do so. (You have the right to post as many embarassing facts about yourself as you want to!) Anyway, Miss Mudcat Manners will get off her soapbox now and go gossip about Big Mick's slinky evening gown... |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: paddymac Date: 19 Oct 99 - 12:49 PM A good point well made. Thanks! |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: catspaw49 Date: 19 Oct 99 - 01:22 PM Good point there marc.......where'd I screw up this time? Well in any case, I've not checked and since he's an idiot anyway....Cletus is out of underwear, his only pair of LongJohns having popped their buttons for the last time so to speak. If any of you have some extra long jobs that you could spare in a size 40, please send them to:
Cletus Harddinger Thanks a lot. Two pair would be great since the people at the laundramat complain about the smell and his lack of attire when he's doing his wash. Spaw

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Joe Offer Date: 19 Oct 99 - 01:28 PM So, I guess that means it's OK to talk about Mick's gown, but not what's under it? |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Vixen Date: 19 Oct 99 - 01:39 PM I dunno; sumbuddy gotta prob wid spuds? I think its okay to talk about *potatoes* fer cryin' out loud. Who gonna be offended bout a veg-et-able? ;>

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: sophocleese Date: 19 Oct 99 - 01:44 PM Vixen I don't think its the 'potato' people are worried about (its going for a thong anyway), my impression is that its the sequins that people need to be wary of. Cletus, I have one pair of long johns going spare, size 4 childs, would they do in a pinch? Sophocleese |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Uilleand Date: 19 Oct 99 - 01:44 PM You mean besides the big heart and the great body? |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: MMario Date: 19 Oct 99 - 01:47 PM eek! the "V" word! We can't have that. Nowadays, it is so much kinder to refer to members of the biologival kingdom Plantae as "multi-cellular photosynthetic organisms" |
|
Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Vixen Date: 19 Oct 99 - 01:51 PM AHem! To *which* "V WORD" are you referring??? Oh. I get it. Didn't mean to take it personal! ;> But once they're dead they're vegetables, aren't they? Or is it the other way around??? V |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Allan C. Date: 19 Oct 99 - 02:00 PM That's the way I see it, Vixen. Once they're picked...Sorta like sardines. Generally, they aren't sardines until you put them in the can. (Okay, for the pedantic ones out there: EXCEPT Sardinia pilchardus!) |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Vixen Date: 19 Oct 99 - 02:30 PM Po tay toes, however, get pulled, not picked. And if Mick is trying to put a potato in a "thong", Cheryl Wheeler already did that. 'Course if all this is just a crop of double entendres, y'all should be shamed of your selfs. ;> |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Jon Freeman Date: 19 Oct 99 - 02:48 PM lamarca, This Sunday, I had somebody say something like "I've know you for 20 years and I never realised that about you until I read Mudcat the other day". I am not worried (and it was my own posting) but perhaps people should remember that sort of thing can (and does) happen. I am in complete agreement with you regarding any personal information concerning any other person. Jon |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Charlie Baum Date: 19 Oct 99 - 02:53 PM About taking offense at "vegetable" references--I made a joke the other day about how renaming our local airport for the poster boy for Alzheimer's Disease explains why they can't remember where they put your luggage--and you should have heard the outraged Republicans! --Charlie Baum |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Little Neophyte Date: 19 Oct 99 - 02:58 PM Oy,I did something wrong didn't I? I feel sick. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Bert Date: 19 Oct 99 - 03:01 PM Great one Charlie, However, remember what Frankie Howerd used to say "It's wicked to mock the afflicted" ;-) Mind you, the only times that he said it were immediately after being guilty of doing just that. Bert. |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: lamarca Date: 19 Oct 99 - 03:08 PM Hey guys, Miss Mudcat Manners here - I'm not trying to slap any individuals' wrist here (it wouldn't be polite...); just wanted to remind people this isn't a private club, but an international public phone booth, as it were... We've had a lot of new 'Catters "come out" (so to speak) since the Getaway, and I wanted to make what was probably an unecessary and obvious point that we shouldn't go writing folk's phone numbers and vital statistics on the wall (For a Good Time and/or Potato, call...) |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Little Neophyte Date: 19 Oct 99 - 03:21 PM I think I'm just too sensitive Lamarca. Do you have Mr. Potato Head's number? Little Neo |
|
Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: lamarca Date: 19 Oct 99 - 03:31 PM Uh, I don't think it was his Head, Little Neo...Try 42. |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: bbelle Date: 19 Oct 99 - 09:32 PM WOW! There are so many kinds of potatoes ... baking potatoes, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, creamer potatoes, yukon gold potatoes, purple (yes, I said purple, and you can find them in the northwest and alaska) potatoes ... there's potato soup, potato salad, sweet potato pie, mashed potatoes, creamed potatoes, potatoes pancakes ... you can bake 'em, fry 'em, steam em', boil 'em ... that's just way too much for my wittle pea brain to unnerstand, so I'll settle for zucchini ... moonchild |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Little Neophyte Date: 19 Oct 99 - 09:51 PM Don't forget Mr. Potato Head too, Moonchild LIttle Neo |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: catspaw49 Date: 19 Oct 99 - 09:59 PM So I'm sitting here thinking about Mick's thong tater and Mr. Potato Head and, uh.........oy....................anybody got some bromo? Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Little Neophyte Date: 19 Oct 99 - 10:08 PM Dear Mr. Spaw Mr. Potato Head wants absolutely nothing to do with Mick's thong whatever. He has a scrub clean reputation and would like to keep it that way, thank you. Little Neo (devoted fan of Mr. Potato Head) |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: bbelle Date: 19 Oct 99 - 10:46 PM Does anyone out there remember when you actually used a real potato for Mr. Potato Head? Mother still complains about the smell of rotting potatoes ... moonchild |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: harpgirl Date: 19 Oct 99 - 10:46 PM you guys ain't supposed to be talking about Mr. Potato Head without his permission..don't you know the rules? |
|
Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: DonMeixner Date: 19 Oct 99 - 11:07 PM Moonie, yes I do. and did. I had the game when we moved from the river bank into the town, so that would be 1957. Sounds rather Tobacco Roadish doesn't it. Well, it was. We only could play Mr. Taterhead when my Mom was cooking mashed for supper. Any other time it was Mr. Beathead or Turniphead. Once, after Haggis season it was Mr.Cowpiehead but thats a real sad story. We got flooded out in 57 and we had to move to The Day Camp on Cross Lake. We lost most of what we had including Mr. Taterhead. We saved some clothes, some furniture, and a my Dad's tools. I missed my brother Gary for quite awhile but not as much as I missed Mr. P. Don '

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 20 Oct 99 - 10:12 PM For those who are overwhelmed with the potato references and the terrible things people do with potatos and are longing to return to the music are referred to Tom Paxton's song "Don't Slay that Potato (It Never Done Nothin' To You)". Roger in Baltimore |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: Jeri Date: 20 Oct 99 - 10:18 PM It's not nice to put things that are capable of running away in your underwear, Mick! |
|
Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: paddymac Date: 21 Oct 99 - 06:51 AM Heard a tale once about a guy who tried to impress the girls by putting a spud in his britches. It didn't work for him as I recall, 'cause he kept putting in the back. |

Subject: RE: Netiquette for 'Catters From: catspaw49 Date: 21 Oct 99 - 08:10 AM LMAO here...... Well I guess the potato/thong thing has come full circle now. Like most of our "icons" it builds a new life and its origins, which are mostly obscure one liners, are covered by the new mass of crappola we load on them. Thank you paddymac!!!!! ...and speaking of underwear, Cletus is still in need here folks. Spaw |
