Thanks, Alice. I appreciate your comment.

Since I really hate to proofread, compiling these questions & responses was no fun at all.

But, imo, this game can serves as a good introduction to Mudcat for new members & new guests, and it also provides interesting information for folks who aren't that new to this community.

I sure learned alot from reading the responses, and I enjoyed coming up with some questions, too.

There's some questions without correct responses, and alot more questions that could be asked. So if people care to play, this game can be as big as....

Oh nevermind.

Divis,

Is "Richard Starkey with achondroplasia" part of the question or the answer to your question?

Or are you "pulling a redsnapper?" *

* putting your name [or,in this case, someone else's name] after your question.

As you may have read in the first Name That Mudcatter thread, putting a name or initials after a question is a no-no...though there are some people who continue to do so.

Also, I have requested that the first Name That Mudcatter thread be closed since even before it hit 500+ posts, folks were saying that it was too difficult to follow.

Until that thread is officially closed, I'd appreciate it if questions were posted to this thread instead of to the NTM thread #1.

Here's the question you just posted to that thread, Divis:

I haven't followed your thread so I was happy to see a listing....and after being around here since '98 with over 20,000 posts I am sorry that farts are all I seem to have going for me............***sigh***............Anyway, a few corrections or additions before I ask a few questions!

Glad to see that El Swanno got his rightful place on the firefighter question. As for Clarence, my Maw-InLaw, she recently died of a fall in St. Marten. Her real name was Pat Wyatt and though we did not often get along, she could be a fine friend and was always good in a crisis.

On question 179 above, all the answers you need are on this thread.

Now let me ask a couple:

1---Who was the short time owner and operator of "Pedro, the Imploding 12-String?"

2---Who was the originator and longtime bartender at the many and varied Mudcat Tavern?

3---What kilt wearing, motorcycle riding, aneurysm having 'Catter played in a group for awhile with the answer to #1?

4---What kazoo playing 'Catter made most of the early morning deliveries to the Mudcat Taverns?

5---What 'Catter said, "I think I will come back as the ocean. One of them, anyway. If not that, the sky?"

6---Who is always ready for a quick toot from a "puff up the ass?"

7---Australian 'Catter responsible for the idea of what became the "Amish-Australian Pitchfork Moustache Tuner?"

8---Grease and Blondie first appeared as a result of a thread started by this young, incredibly well versed, intelligent, and worldly naive 'Catter?

9---What do the Catters who are the answers to 1,3,5,& 7 have in common?

Azizi, you know, it has been so many years that I've been on Mudcat that my aging brain is starting to forget those marvelous early threads. Test Your Mudcat IQ back in 1999 was a first version of your Name That Mudcatter. I agree with spaw in that I am amazed that something like farts would be what he is remembered for! In reading your "name that" thread, I thought, well this will tell each of us what kind of legacy we have left here.... or not. It will tell us how much of our contribution is lost in the past of Mudcat and not known to current posters. I've been on Mudcat since 1998, and still read it each day. It has changed very much over the years. Most here don't even seem to know me anymore.

Alice, thanks for that link also.

I don't recall reading these threads, but I thought of this game after awakening from a dream. So maybe I actually did read those threads when I was sleeping.

:o)

Of course, there's nothing unique about this game. And needless to say, its title is based on the "Name That Tune" tv show.

But I kinda like the idea that I may have read those archived Mudcat game threads in another dimension and then came back to revive them with a new game name and with some light hearted Wizard of Oz/Kung Fu references thrown in...

But then again, maybe I won't make any Wizard of Oz references in this thread.

You're exactly right Carol! Well done......RE: #7, the Aussie 'Catter was murray and he accidentally wrote pitchfork for tuning fork once .....and things went downhill from there. We miss them all..........

As for the Tale of the Imploding Pedro, here is the way Rick told it. I alwyas thought it would be a great scene in a sitcom!!!

"Each of my 12 strings has it's own little memory but the worst was "Pedro" the Mexican built beauty that I bought when I was about twenty. The salesman said it was built to be tuned to pitch and I foolishly believed him. Now the problem was that my girlfriend at the time felt (justifiably so) that we should be saving our money, so when I purchased "Pedro" I snuck him into a closet for the night, planning to tell her about it the next day.(after I had thought up some story to justify my purchase) About 5am, a noise like a bazooka woke everyone up with a start in our communal rooming house. People were searching everywhere for the source of the explosion......but in my heart I knew what it was. I let someone else find the broken pieces of wood and wire, but I had to own up to it. Needless to say I got yelled at, AND lost Pedro one day after buying him!"

Here's a Humble Request:

When someone gets the correct answer to a question, would the person who posed that question please indicate that [For example, see Alice's 09 Jul 06 - 02:46 PM post and catspaw49's 09 Jul 06 - 08:51 PM post etc. Others have also done so on this thread and the first Name that Mudcatter thread].

This is particularly helpful when the questions are either culturally based or based on past Mudcat experiences.

For instance, I gather that Guest 10 Jul 06 - 05:05 AM is saying that Teribus 10 Jul 06 - 01:17 AM was incorrect in his response to the question "No longer on the market, John Player thought so much of this member (as I also do) that they printed his name in gold letters on a green and white packet". But I'm not sure about that- in part {or in whole}- because I have no idea what "John Player {no longer on the market}" was.

Affirming that an answer is correct-when given- will make the work of compiling an edition of the Guide To The Perplexed easier for me or whoever else volunteers to do so as I [or that person] will be less perplexed by the responses to the questions.

****

Btw, I will not be able to compile the next edition of that guide until Tuesday night. If anyone else wants to do it before then, that would be great! If not, I do it then.

Subject: RE: BS: Name That Mudcatter II
From: Azizi
Date: 10 Jul 06 - 08:13 AM

Also-I'm wondering at which point should the person who posed the question ask others if they 'give' [up], and the person then provides the correct answer.

Also, there are some questions that I'm not sure are 'for real' or for joke or rhetorical.

For instance, this question:
115. Which Mudcatter has (purportedly) slept through every Mudcat EuroGathering so far? (no initials)

No answer has been posted for it-correct or otherwise. Is this a insider joke question or does the person who posted it really want an answer {is there even a for real answer?} And if so is it time for the person who posted it to provide the answer?

For instance, was this qpost' and th [mpthjertehere's a qwuesa

Subject: RE: BS: Name That Mudcatter II
From: Azizi
Date: 10 Jul 06 - 08:25 AM

Also, when a question has been posted for "some" time, and no one has guessed the correct answer, or no one has posted any responses, it night be helpful if a clue is posted.

For instance: It's a fac that the the merry month of May and the blessed month of June have passed and no one has guessed the correct response to this question:

172. Which Mudcatter's name is the name of an American children's handclap rhyme and part of the name of an European wedding song?

****

So here's {some more} clues: This European wedding song is still sung now {at least a year or so ago I heard Seamus sing it when I attended a session he did in Pittsburgh. PA} and my mother or some one else taught me the handclap rhyme.

And this Mudcatter's name was listed on that "Mudcatter Met" thread {though I confess that I've not seen the name in many current threads}...

It seems to me that I've thrown out enough clues that someone with his or her thinking cap on-not to mention buckles down his or her back-should get this answer now.

Re 183:Spatulas, Rutabaga and the point of Moab.

People somewhere in the Moab Continium were responsible for both the Spatuals and Rutabaga round here. BWL for the spatulas sounds right. I think the root vegtables may have been my fault, but I'm not sure. If anyone needs to know, start looking in Moab at about 6000, I think that's Febuary 2005ish.

As to the point of Moab, (King) Khandu set it out in the first post of the thread, to accumulate all the BS in one place, to free up the rest of the cat from it....

Greetings, Mudcatters, one and all.

I'm just popping in from the once but no longer smokey city to see how all is faring in the BS world below.

Since I launched this Mudcat game so many months ago much has happened in the land of Mudville. And for reasons known and guessed at, I have decided to limit my voyages to the threads down under to once in a every blue moon when something strikes my fancy or tugs my strings or gets my goat.

While I was lurking in the downthreads, I noticed on 04 Feb 07 - 02:51 PM that heric-for reasons only he knows- had refreshed this thread, thus reactivating The Game. I'm glad to know that folks may still be interested in playing This Game, but, in case anyone was wondering,I feel the need to inform you that I have stepped away from my editor's chair, never to sit there again.

If heric or someone else wants to edit the "Name That Mudcatter: Guide For The Perplexed", Seventh Edition, I shall be very happy to see that effort continue.

If no one wants to edit any new Editions then so be it. I suppose it is possible for this thread to do what ever it wants to do without any supervision at all. It might be chaotic, but it also might turn out to be quite an interesting experiment. Perhaps no one will be perplexed, or perhaps perplexion will be thought of as a good thing.

Be that as it may or may not be, my Name That Mudcatter days are over. It was fun. I enjoyed it. I learned a lot of interesting facts about people I have come to know by more than name only.

But I'm in serious mode right now. Perhaps in time, I'll be less serious. I certainly hope so.

So until that time,

Best wishes to all, and to all a good night!

[Who said that? ....Ignore that question].

I hope that newcomers to Mudcat and veteran Mudcatters as well will read this thread and the previous one to learn more about the people who make up the Mudcat community.

And if people feel like posting to this thread, great! If not, then what is here will be archived for future Mudcatters to read.
