Subject: driftthread From: Mían Date: 27 Oct 99 - 07:18 PM thinking "thread drift" should be driftthread, like driftwood. piles up, bumps gently on various shores... |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Neil Lowe Date: 27 Oct 99 - 07:21 PM Fine by me....all in favor say "aye"...those opposed.... |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Allan C. Date: 28 Oct 99 - 07:32 AM I had thought of it as more like snowdrift. But I kinda like the driftwood thing;-) |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Lesley N. Date: 28 Oct 99 - 08:21 AM No, No - it should be CTTOLOTO - "Conversations That Take on a Life of Their Own" - And we pronounce it Cat-A-Lot-O! |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Lesley N. Date: 28 Oct 99 - 08:21 AM Oops - meant Cat-"O"-Lot-O |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Allan C. Date: 28 Oct 99 - 08:49 AM That was the colloquial spelling, Leslie N. |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Bert Date: 28 Oct 99 - 09:35 AM Cat-A-Lot-O? isn't that an Aztec spear throwing device? |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: katlaughing Date: 28 Oct 99 - 10:32 AM How about drifting thread, ala Drifting Sands of Time? Or tumbling thread ala Tumblin Tumbleweeds? Could be rolling thread, except that a Rolling Stone gathers no moss, right? Yer right, annap! Makes us so loveable! |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Oct 99 - 10:38 AM I'm sorry gang, but this is a folk site and "Thread Creep" is a folk term as it meets the criteria for what is a folk song and the other terms do not. 1. It has been passed along by the oral process(at least as close to that as you can get on a fockin' computer) 2. Its origins are no longer clear. (I think Leej may have used it first, but I'm not sure anymore) 3. Most people have absolutely no idea what it means. 4. Most people could care less what it means. 5. It has no copyright protection. 6. It was not written for monetary gain. 7. We currently have two threads running on the subject.(Proving we're willing to talk about it ad infinitum) 8. Nobody using the term has ever made a dime by doing so. (Very important, as any true "creeper" is as broke as a fat ladies girdle and any "creeper" who does profit has sold out and is only "creep-like" at best) I hope this clears up the matter entirely. You can use threadrift and that's Okay, but its not really "Thread Creep." Spaw |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Bert Date: 28 Oct 99 - 10:45 AM It would only be driftThread when the thread is all washed up. |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: WyoWoman Date: 28 Oct 99 - 10:46 AM A rolling thread gathers no sense. |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Mían Date: 28 Oct 99 - 11:30 AM ah jeeeezzz. i forgot about thread creep, argh! musta been the-standing-in-a-room-what-the-hell-am-i-doing-here phenomenon. thank gawd for 'spaw! and the rest of ye, quite a lot of chuckles from this 'un. |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Rick Fielding Date: 28 Oct 99 - 11:31 AM Neil Diamond said it best: "I am I Thread!" |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: MMario Date: 28 Oct 99 - 11:50 AM will you remember me, when I'm thread and gone? |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Mían Date: 28 Oct 99 - 11:56 AM 2 threads are better than 1 ?? |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: katlaughing Date: 28 Oct 99 - 12:08 PM Drink to me only with thine thread? Whither thread goest, there go I?
The itsy-bitsy thread HaHa!

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Mían Date: 28 Oct 99 - 12:13 PM and the dormouse said keep your thread |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: MMario Date: 28 Oct 99 - 12:18 PM Have another thread? I haven't had any yet! Move down, move down, clean thread! |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Bert Date: 28 Oct 99 - 12:24 PM and when we get to the Mudcat Retirement home we'll all be eating threaded wheat. |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Patrish(inactive) Date: 28 Oct 99 - 12:24 PM A thread in time saves nine? Man cannot live by thread alone Patrish |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Oct 99 - 12:35 PM I'm sorry Rick, Neil Diamond cannot be considered here in any form of thread creep. Everything regarding him has to do with money and as I said before, it can't be thread creep when associated with such crass commercialism. Now you can quote him and that's okay, but IMHO he certainly doesn't represent true thread creep. Spaw |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Den Date: 28 Oct 99 - 12:43 PM I thought cataloto was someone in the possession of more than 20 ginger toms. Den |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: paddymac Date: 28 Oct 99 - 01:16 PM Tis the season to beware the "Threadless Horseman" |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 28 Oct 99 - 01:31 PM I dunno, 'Spaw, I think Mr. Diamond is about as creepy as they come- doesn't that qualify him as a Thread Creep? |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Fortunato Date: 28 Oct 99 - 01:56 PM When all is thread and done: Mr. Diamond is just a folkie who was promoted beyond his calling. |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Peter T. Date: 28 Oct 99 - 02:58 PM How about " Kama Sutra". "Sutra" is a Sanskrit word meaning "thread" (the sutras were pages sown together with thread). From the same Indo-European roots, we get our word "suture". "Kama" reminds us that much of this is just sexual jockeying for position (see Retirement Thread for current example).....Just thought I would class things up.... yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Oct 99 - 03:01 PM Though he may be very "Creep -like" at times, his performance as such has been at the control of the thread merchants and executives who would not know true creep if it attacked them. Mr. Diamond is not true to the art of the thread creeper even when his material is used by Rick. The essence of thread creep is in not knowing from where it has come exactly and how it has been passed on without regard to financial gain. Spaw - Have I mentioned how much I'm enjoying this? |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Fortunato Date: 28 Oct 99 - 03:05 PM Ah, Peter, you imply the dangerous, little known, and possibly mythical "Threading the Needle Position". Point well taken. |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Peter T. Date: 28 Oct 99 - 03:14 PM Fortunato, Is that the one with camels, rich men, and the all important knot at the end? yours, Peter T. |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Fortunato Date: 28 Oct 99 - 03:20 PM I certainly did not mean imply an inter-species dalliance, and besides the evidence was purely circumstantial! |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Davey Date: 28 Oct 99 - 03:23 PM I thought Thread Creep referred to that certain individual that you recently addressed in another thread, 'Spaw. |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: WyoWoman Date: 28 Oct 99 - 03:26 PM I'm no thread. I'm a frayed knot.

Subject: RE: driftthread From: katlaughing Date: 28 Oct 99 - 03:30 PM LMAO! Peter, would we then call it kama thread or be redundant and go for thread sutra; hmmmm...maybe we could even go for sutra itch, aw, could just say we'd stitch a few bits to the whole damn thing, so wind up with stitch-a-thread, or the dimunitive *stitches*. For the truth about Neil Y.,one must travel north/west/east/or south depending on where one is, to Montana, to the Source at the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed, where one will find the Alter(sic) Room. One may have their perceptions of the world, folk music, and/or themselves and their loved ones, from the perspective of Mr. Young. This is not recommended for the faint at heart or uninitiated. For more informoation, before embarking on one's quest, one is strongly advised to seek counsel at the Orifice of 'Spaw aka Cleigh O'Possum's arse. |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Lesley N. Date: 28 Oct 99 - 03:55 PM "Cat-o-lot-o" can furthe be defined by anything you put after it...
So Bert, you are nearly correct. The term for the ancient Aztez spear was, in fact, Cat-o-lot-azspear (unless you are using the colloquial spelling in which case it is Cat-A-lot-o-Azspear). Which would make this cat-o-lot-o b.s. |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: Mían Date: 28 Oct 99 - 04:40 PM I was wondering when someone was going to mention carmels again. oh, wait, that's camels. so sorry. where am i? here it is afternoon and i am just now getting out of thread |

Subject: RE: driftthread From: paddymac Date: 28 Oct 99 - 05:11 PM If Gerry Garcia could have his "Dead Heads", why can't Max have some "Thread Heads". |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: Jeri Date: 29 Oct 99 - 07:47 AM Paddymac, in case your wondering why no one posted after you did, I read it and thought "yeah, far out...'thread heads'...right on, man." (You nailed it.) Of course, I don't know when to shut up, so I posted anyway. |
|
Subject: RE: driftthread From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Oct 99 - 07:56 AM I thought the same thing Jeri...great job paddymac!!! I'm stealing it immediately. This needs to enter the Mudcatters jargon....but again, this is a folk site so paddy, we're all going to forget you started it and if you're asked, say you heard it somewhere, but you're not sure where. Also, tell anyone who asks that you had no monetary thing in this at all and that in the most part, you use traditional 'Cat jargon and are trying to pass it on to the next generation of Mudcatteers intact as part of their heritage.
