From: Little Hawk Well, it's just that sometimes one's attempts to be humorous in order to make a point are misconstrued, that's all. At least that's what happened with me, anyway. I can't say for the rest. I gather from your names that you are being humorous as well...I hope. I'm new at this stuff. Little Hawk |

15 Jul 00 - 11:21 PM (#258433) Subject: RE: Why are some Mudcatters cretins? From: Gary T The original question in this vein, "Why are almost all Mudcatters white?", was a serious query. I have asked myself the same type of question at music festivals where dark faces are extremely few. With the Mudcat being partly dedicated to blues, generally considered a "black" genre of music (at least historically), it is certainly a natural thing to wonder about. Read that thread for all the various responses, which very likely include the one(s) you're thinking of now. Some people found the question ridiculous/offensive and responded with the obviously satirical "Why are . . ." threads. This one, which pokes at that phenomenon, is thus a satire of a satire. It will all die out. Eventually. Maybe. We hope. |

16 Jul 00 - 03:08 PM (#258714) Subject: RE: Why are some Mudcatters cretins? From: GUEST,Cretin the Mudcat It is because we have a genetic defect that makes it impossible for us to resist answering questions like this. It is a basic Mudcat trait to have to weigh in repeatedly on every topic. Especially when we don't know what we're talking about. |

20 Jul 00 - 11:13 PM (#261939) Subject: RE: Why are some Mudcatters cretins? From: dick greenhaus GILBERT & SULLIVAN ONLINE I am the very model of a Newsgroup personality. I intersperse obscenity with tedious banality. Addresses I have plenty of, both genuine and ghosted too, On all the countless newsgroups that my drivel is cross posted to. Your bandwidth I will fritter with my whining and my sniveling, And you're the one who pays the bill, downloading all my driveling. My enemies are numerous, and no-one would be blaming you For cracking my head open after I've been rudely flaming you. I hate to lose an argument (by now I should be used to it). I wouldn't know a valid point if I was introduced to it. My learning is extensive but consists of mindless trivia, Designed to fan my ego, which is larger than Bolivia. The comments that I vomit forth, disguised as jest and drollery, Are really just an exercise in unremitting trollery. I say I'm frank and forthright, but that's merely lies and vanity, The gibberings of one who's at the limits of his sanity. If only I could get a life, as many people tell me to; If only Mom could find a circus freak show she could sell me to; If I go off to Zanzibar to paint the local scenery; If I lose all my fingers in a mishap with machinery; If I survive to twenty, which is somewhat problematical; If what I post was more mature, or slightly more grammatical; If I could learn to spell a bit, and maybe even punctuate; Would I still be the loathsome and objectionable punk you hate? But while I have this tiresome urge to prance around and show my face, It simply isn't safe for normal people here in cyberspace. To stick me in Old Sparky and turn on the electricity Would be a fitting punishment for my egocentricity. @parody @computer filename[ NERDSONG LH
