Subject: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: katlaughing Date: 10 Aug 00 - 08:07 PM Sure is a nice cool day here in the park, amongst the sylvan glades and flower beds. We've got a tented tavern set up with a portable stage and a portable swiiming pool; nice cool breeze is blowing through and if you look really closely, you might see the PeterDenizenT Greenman as he waltzes about smiling at each little flower and categorising each type of topsoil, and tracks the path of each different little critter. Don't mind if he trails a bit of leaves or other debris, or that he lollygags...it's that kind of day for us all...just take it slow and easy, sit back in the grass, relax, take a long, cool sip, and hum a little tune....ah.....summertime and the living is easy.... Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Greenman Mudcat Tavern...

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: Mbo Date: 10 Aug 00 - 08:17 PM I'll be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over here trying to learn a new tune called "Angel Child". Gotta keep the others away from my youthful drivelings AND my guitar away from flying rotten vegetables. Living is EASY? I'm hyped up on music, I get to meet Mrrzy tomorrow, and school starts up again next week. All I can say is Summertime, glad it's almost over! Sweating like a pig just ain't my thing... Oh right, where was I? Tonight, this is your life...angel child of mine... --M |

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: katlaughing Date: 10 Aug 00 - 10:10 PM Awright, awright, Spaw! Ooooooooommmmmmm....takes a deep breath in and leetttttsssss it oout sllllooooowwwwwlllyyy here ya go, darlin' since you're going to hell in a handbasket of a van, anyway, I guess you deserve something a little stronger, listen up, now...go back behind the porta-swimming pool, down that dirt path, up the little hill, until you come to a fork, take the left trail heading down towards the bog, there's a miasma of smoky, oily crap in the air, stinks, too, keep on that path until you see a red pair of knickers tied 8 feet up in a sycamore tree on your south side, go under that very tree, and part the lilac bushes on yer right and you will see a narrow, slatted swinging bridge which goes over the bog Now, if you've made it that far, DON't go over the bridge!! That's where the Flushing Gators really are, BUT, you do hafta get kinda close anyway. Start singing, I don't care what, just something soothing, then, very, very slowly...step towards the Banks of the Bog, look under the nearrside of the bridge and you will find a key. Take the key very slowly, then back away very slowly, never turning your back on the gators. Once you are back on the upper bank, follow your trail back and bring the key to me and we can unlock the booze wagon!!! DougeR, sure glad to have you on board, maybe you can ride shotgun for Spaw? And, watch out for the rest of the phoaks, okay? There should be a pretty big group coming in here real soon...all manner of folkers, draped in greens of various fashions and eras..'tis a grand day for a renassiance fair, eh? Oh, Mbo, have you found yer angel, yet, darlin'? Oh and who is Derry, Derry Darlin's us all? Did you see that?!!

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: catspaw49 Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:21 AM Spaw comes limping into the bar looking beaten and completely bedraggled, clothes torn........ ......Holy Keyriced on a crutch.......Somebody give me a hand here..........I'll take anything ya' got to drink....WATER.....ANYTHING!!!!!.......Damn kat, what the hell are you tryin' to do here anyway.......I thought I was supposed to be smellin' the roses.........Yeah, you're right....I don't smell like no rose!!!........Spiders and snakes my ass....they were the least of it! I was going through that first woods and a bunch of rabid possums came after me! Had to beat it up that damn hill and I thought I was having another heart attack!!! Then I slog through the bog and there's a big fockin' Irish guy with a potato stuffed thong tryin' to dance a jig in a tub of lime jello and I had to detour into a REAL swamp.....damn near killed me gettin' outta' that.......and just when I reach the top of a hill and am ready to head for the key stash, some fuckwit in half a gorilla suit and fishnet tights was lighting farts and singed me pretty bad on the way past..............THEN, just when I grab the key, your dipshit garden faeries came out screaming like banshees and swinging tiples everywhere. What the hell is the matter with you anyway, keeping those little pissants around? Those little creeps kept coming til they encountered Peter dressed in green and looking like the Boston Strangler which seemed to confuse them for a minute and I was able to hobble away. You got any idea what its like having a bunch of garden faeries clamped on your legs like a pack of horny beagles??? ...................Geeziz..........Anyway, here's the key....Now get me some Jack!!!!!!!!.........anybody got anything for these cuts? Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: DougR Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:27 AM Well,kat, perhaps I'm wrong. Spaw does need help, it seems. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: catspaw49 Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:41 AM Yeah Doug, you should have come along..........Did I mention the Jewish princess with the banjo in white socks? I was really excited, but when I started towards her I fell into a cesspool and was only able to get out with the help of a guy who had a Radio Shack R/C car with a winch. The damn winch broke of course....typical Radio Shack....But at that point I grabbed hold of a leg attached to a fiddler with dragonflies hovering around her hooters and clams in her toes. I'm tellin' you....The whole thing was a nightmare........................ Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: MAG (inactive) Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:59 AM to the tune of "Just a Song at Twilight:"
When the swamp is quiet, When the moss hangs low -- favorite lullaby of those long-tailed, sharp-toothed, yellow-eyed alligators from Thatcher Hurd's book, *Mama Don't Allow.* Any virtual gin and limeade around this joint? Tanqueray, preferably. I am feeling very mellow after doing a bunch of old-timey stuff last weekend. It is my mission in life to see that children do not forget how to play "In and out the window," "A-tisket a-tasket," etc. Kat, how did you know about the Green Man and me?? Did I get the line break thing right? |

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: Giac Date: 11 Aug 00 - 07:09 AM Hey, Ameregin, said Giac, pulling up in an old rattletrap with a false gas tank, I just got here, over the "real" Thunder Road, with some of the best untaxed liquor you ever tasted. None of that oily, kerosene stuff, no sir, this is real. Try some. Things must have been pretty rough here last night. I just saw a guy with faeries stuck all over his legs. He was covered with sludge and was lying next to a wench, er, winch. By golly, I think it was Spaw. |

Green, green my eyes

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: Thomas the Rhymer Date: 11 Aug 00 - 02:09 PM THE GREEN MAN Copyright 1999 Thomas Herring Amidst the trees, Quivering mulberry leaves; Where king david found voices from his god. When spirits tease, they will begin to please; Shall we listen to their answering song? CHORUS: Through the ages, and millenium, Turning pages on each kingdom come, As he gazes on the race we run; In laws of nature, TRUTH!, we return... To the Green Man... His steady gaze, Watcher from woodland ways; East of the moon, West of the stars. His memories, Bring us forgotten days; Alexander kissed the tree of the sun on it's bark. CHORUS Mysteries, he beckons, "Escape with me, To madness divine; For human is blind". Spirits speak, From every flower and leaf And the Hunter may find the thrill in his mind! Chorus Tree of desire, Oh, Tree of the moon, The tree prophesises, Speaks out and warns. Gardens require, Oh, but the wild is begun, The Green Man inside us; Forever reborn! CHORUS, and repeat first verse! Blessings upon you!

It is an assemblage of peasant-folk in honor of that sprite known hereabouts as Jack-in-the-Green! Methinks I'll have me a flowing beaker and tarry a while here, safe from the attack of the evil ninja fairies in yon dark and hostile wood.What? Not ninja fairies but bats you say? Zounds." |

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: DougR Date: 11 Aug 00 - 06:05 PM Aw,Bert! Just as everything was all quieting down (disregarding Spaw and LonesomeEJ), you had to go and bring up politics! Shucks shoot! Kat, why not ban the discussion of divisive topics, in this, your very own "Mudcat Tavern?" Anyway, Bert, I'm confident once the folkies got to know me, and find out that I don't have horns on my head, and know which fork to use, at special occasions, they'll probably welcome me in spite of my percieved shortcomings.

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: Susan A-R Date: 12 Aug 00 - 10:54 PM I do believe I need a nice cool glass of white wine and another of those hammocks please. Just finished 12 hours of choral rehearsa (Byrd, DiLaso, Josquin, DuFay, ya know, the old guys. I can sing 'em, but I sure can't spell 'em at this hour.) Tomorrow we do another 9 hours. I'll try to cruise back through after rehearsal for something stronger, but NOT Spaw's stuff. That loks just like what it is. Susan A-R |

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: MAG (inactive) Date: 12 Aug 00 - 11:58 PM Well, that Gin & Limeade sounded so good I went and fixed one; figured I deserve it, being on vacation and all. About half an hour into sippin' it VERY slowly I started feeling crappy, so I went and took my blood sugar, which was climbing toward 200. Had to dump it and take a bike ride. Damn. I'm back for the virtual, and the company. Can I interest anyone in a circle game, since we are out here on the greensward?? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: Mbo Date: 13 Aug 00 - 12:10 AM What's a circle game? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: Catrin Date: 13 Aug 00 - 10:30 AM Don't know what a circle game is either, but I'm lolling in my hammock with my chilled freshly made punch that they're serving at the bar right now. It's made from freshly squeezed oranges and lemons, with lashings of gin, which the committed bar staff have been spending hours preparing (that's why they've been so quiet and couldn't help Spaw on his mission). I've just bought a bamboo flute and in this world where dreams come true, I've mastered (mistressed?) with eaze its elusive notes and fingering, and am playing the most romantic slow air of all with its woody deep tones. The faeries are dancing. In the distance, a group of elves, Tolkeinesque, are singing. The sound of their sweet voices marred only by the sound of Spaw's gentle snoring (he's fallen asleep from exhaustion).... Will you come by the hills to a land where fancy is free? To stand where the peaks meet the sky and the rocks meet the sea Where the river runs clear and bracken lies gold in the sun And the cares of tomorrow must wait 'til this day is done. Will you come by the hills to a land where life is a song? To stand where the birds fill the air with their joys all day long Where the trees sing in tune and even the wind blows in time And the cares of tomorrow must wait 'til this day is done. Will you come by the hills to a land where legend remains? Where stories of old touch the heart, where we're led to the days Where the past it is lost and the future is yet to be won And the cares of tomorrow must wait 'til this day is done. Will you come by the hills to a land where fancy is free? To stand where the peaks meet the sky and the rocks meet the sea Where the river runs clear and bracken lies gold in the sun And the cares of tomorrow must wait 'til this day is done. I could stay here forever. Sigh. Catrin |

Subject: RE: BS: THE GREENMAN MUDCAT TAVERN From: MAG (inactive) Date: 13 Aug 00 - 11:27 AM Circle game: example. All join hands, any number or gender. One sucker, er, volunteer, in the middle. You need only know your left from your right, and be able to count to eight. Face left, left foot poised and ready to step out. To practice, have everyone take eight steps, to the beat. Take eight more. Now, to the music:
We're marching 'round the village Everyone stop. Raise arms into arches. "It" goes out one arch, then in the next:
Go in and out the window, (3x)
Go forth and find your lover,
I kneel because I love you, (Getting preadolescents to do this is really a chore.) Everyone joing hand and resume circling left to:
Farewell, I hate to leave you, Circle turns and circles RIGHT to:
I'm coming back to see you, These games are lots of fun, and the secret agenda is, you are creating the next generation of FOLK DANCERS, as the moves are the same. |
