28 Feb 00 - 04:02 PM (#186347) Subject: Save Max 2 From: Osmium So lets really get Max out of Spaws clutches because lately he's into zips. Let's bring him over to the UK - fare's are cheap and I'll split the cost of the fare and the necessary bid with at least five other gents and then we need need just one female (despite the rumours to the contrary Max appears to be male) who's willing to be entertained. Email me if your up for it. |

29 Feb 00 - 12:46 PM (#186807) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: paddymac Llanfair - I have a question about the word "chippy". I am not at all familiar with Welsh colloquialisms, but I presume your use of the word "chippy" refers to a dining establishment specializing in fish & chips. I recall as a kid in the American mid-west hearing the old ladies use that word to describe a young woman whom they presumed to be of loose morals. Since we're talking about Max visiting your side of the pond, possibly to see your "great chippy round the corner", I thought we might clarify the term, just in case Max's mom might be following this thread. :>)! |

29 Feb 00 - 01:30 PM (#186842) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: Osmium Well as yet the UK contingent hasn't woken up or got home from work and so far Max istn't telling us what the air fare (maybe we are a bigger threat) is likely to be.

29 Feb 00 - 01:35 PM (#186847) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: catspaw49 To clear up all doubts.....Cleigh ahs a momma as does his sister Dido.

Well anyway, he's safe now. That is, I *usually* keep my claws retracted, and always well groomed. ;-)
I didn't quite come out of nowhere, it was just fortuitous timing, really. I frequent the 'cat from time to time, dating back to when Dick ran it as DT over on the Xerox PARCC site. Of course, it was MUCH smaller and simpler (and slower!) then. I have found the 'cat to be an invaluable resource over the years - as well as a rollicking good time!
I was THRILLED when the message board became available -- no more tearing out my hair over missing songs not in the database.
Three cheers for Max (and Dick)!
BTW --Here's an old thread I remember fondly: Don Gato, anyone?
Anyway, I'll just shut up now. [grin] Thanks again, have a groovular day and seeya 'round the 'cat, y'all! *elektra*

02 Mar 00 - 09:25 AM (#188080) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: catspaw49 I again want to congratulate Elektra on her stunning win and come from behind victory. Little Cleigh is of course saddened by the loss but still sends his congratulations to Elektra and to ALL the other bidders. He knows that one day Max will be blessed with a close encounter of the marsupial kind and looks forward to a blow up the backside sometime in the future. Since young Meebo had himself a "Meebo Only HearMe," I'd like to propose a "Meebo Only Auction." The state of the boy's love life is a pathetic thing and something must be done. So let's have an auction sponsored by the great ladies of Mudcat wherein Meebo is the ONLY bidder. What a fantastic money-making scheme this is! There is no way to tell how much the lad might bid for a few hours spent with a real woman......one that does not require inflation. The other possibility of course is to get him a new inflator pump (his is worn out) and a patch kit to repair his current lady love. So let's get behind this and set up the "Meebo FOR Meebo" auction site right away. Spaw |

02 Mar 00 - 06:08 PM (#188394) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: Amos Well, I will anyway. Mbo, I always hope that our roughhousing on these various threads has not gotten under your skin, and i want you to know it was in know way meant to reduce you or make less of you. I count you as a friend, and I try not to hurt friends, so if I have misestimated, let me know. I apologize to you if so. We put a certain amount of our personae into a public domain when we write to threads like these, and the humor of them is -- I think -- more around the forms we have mutally materialized in cyberspace than it is about those behind the keyboards. I hope this is not just a cheap rationalization but I do not think so. Mbo, what do you think? |
|
02 Mar 00 - 06:24 PM (#188409) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: Mbo I'm sorry not to agree with you there Praise, but I fun all this stuff actually quite humorous! I know folks are just being funny...Mudcatters are good folks (except anonymous flamers) and I am glad to have them as friends. To take the time even to poke fun at my lack of a love life of any sort, let's me know they're there for me. At least I'm getting lots of attention, and several 'Catters are trying to fix me up with their daughters! **BOG** As for web personae, I can assure you that my web personae is truly who I am. I have studied hard throughout my life and know lots of things others wouldn't bother to learn...but I don't express my self very well verbally. Writing, like I'm doing now, is the most perfect way of expressing myself. I get to think about what I want to say, and don't sound like a mumbling fool. It's true that in real life I am very shy, nervous, and scared of people. I will go out of my way NOT to talk on a telephone, or ask someone for help....I even start sweating and get nervous when I do something as simple as checking out a library book, or buying stamps. If you met me in real life, you would probably never guess that I was the same person. This is definately part of why I'm such a "lonely boy"....But let me tell you, that if I know you very well, I never shut up! As many here can attest to! --Mbo |

02 Mar 00 - 07:38 PM (#188463) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: Banjer 'Spaw, in his recent post made reference to inflatable persons. There is no way to tell how much the lad might bid for a few hours spent with a real woman......one that does not require inflation. Little does he know how true that is. It seems most of the females of the opposite sex I have had the pleasure(?) of knowing have been real airheads. Immediate family included!! Take my wife for example.(Please!!) I come home from work today and ask quite innocently, "What's for dinner?". Her reply, "I don't know, I worked nine hours at my job today" What is her job? Cashier in a grocery store. She spends nine hours looking at food and has NO idea what's for dinner! Thank goodness she wears those lead boots, else she would float away. |

03 Mar 00 - 04:33 AM (#188636) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: wysiwyg I have received a message in my personal page "asking" that I come back to this thread, and others telling me I don't need to stick up for Mbo. And one really rude and mean note too, thanks so much. And one really nice caring one, altho off target. Someone mentioned Mother Teresa, and I still don't get that one. What was I thinking? I thought maybe a nudge, that the "good fun" you were having wasn't necessarily fun for all, might be relevant. Oh well. Some of you forgot that not everyone knows the history behind every item in the forum, and I don't know you all well enough not to get scared sometimes. Risk of newbies, eh? Most of the mail in my personal page looked to me like people responding to who they think I ought to be. Well, I am not just one-dimensional. I have a full spice shelf. I'll be the first to admit that I may not always use it properly... but every once in awhile I may let out a holler if you jump on my toes, even if inadvertently. I really was not trying to stick up for anybody. Mbo is perfectly capable of doing that at any time he decides it makes sense to, and I'm not his mom. I wrote what I did in this thread because what was being said was personally hurtful to me, and I said so. It's as simple as that. If that is hard to understand, I'm sorry. I said it as clear as I could. |

03 Mar 00 - 09:52 AM (#188725) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: annamill Banjer, shame. I think what she was implying, and it sounded pretty reasonable to me, was that she had worked hard too and maybe, just maybe, you should be the one to make dinner tonight. ;-) Thank you, Bert. Love, annap |

03 Mar 00 - 10:08 AM (#188736) Subject: RE: Help: Save Max 2 From: MMario I would agree that sometimes, even when you KNOW something is being said "in fun" and is being taken that way by the primary recipiant, that it can still be distasteful and even hurtful to "innocent bystanders" - in this case, readers of the thread. I think it's a natural reaction that after you have been shot, or hit by a ricochet, watching a shoot-out is no longer entertainment.
