Mbo - it ain't gonna work. When you want girls to like you, you don't invite them to kiss your ass. Trust me on this. A little subtlety goes a long way in courtship. :-) !!!! (I'm just joking, Mbo, I know you love Oasis.) And you're right about flattop...he's a smart one...but I just love razzing him, that's all.

Their music is sometimes a bit reminiscent of the Beatles, to my way of thinking. Some of their stuff is pretty good. Ask Mbo for a more complete description of this band...you could send him a PM on that.

Then I pump the trap 20 or 30 times with my left arm while I eat the cheese. Then I bust the f*cking thing over my knee!" The second mouse downs his beer and slams the empty mug on the bar. "That's nothing," he snarls. "You know that white rat poison that's all over in people's houses? I put a cupful of it in my gargling water every morning after brushing my teeth, gargle it, and then swallow it in one gulp! Doesn't have any effect on me whatsoever." The third mouse looks at them with contempt, downs his beer, slams down his mug and starts to walk out of the place. "Hey!" yells the first mouse, "Where do you think you're going?" "I'm going home to f*ck the cat!" says the third mouse. |

Standarde Curse (for offending parties) Gather together one candle of each colour--every colour ye can find; the wider the spectrum (and the more individual hues) , the stronger the curse. Procure four stycks of dragon's bloode incense and four white candles as well. Since this spelle beares moste on the aire element, it is required that a long robe or skirt be worne, at least during the casting of your circle. Arranging your candles so that they are dissonant wythe their neighbours (blue by orange, red by green, pastels by vibrants, etc.) cast your circle (with a diameter of 5 feet), placing the candles as you walk widdershins. Walk once more arounde your circle, lighting your candles (from one to the next, once the first has beene lit). Next, calle your quarters and, as you calle each, place and light a white candle and a stick of incense, making an inner circle of white candles wythe the incense wythyn it, all pointing toward the center (the ends of the stycks should meet). Spend somme extra tyme with the aire quarter, as it is moste vital in this spelle. Now is the tyme to builde your energie and sennde your intentions through the aire to the offending partie. Walking widdershins betweene your circles of candles, feel the aire element being awakened by your movements, with your long robe, skirt, or cloake. Hold not their ample folds; let them capture and release the aire as they will. As you feele your energy builde, concentrate on your intention and walke faster in your circle. Before the energie is released, as ye walke rapidly, meditate on the law of three and of any way your actions, if harmful, may finde of coming back to you threefolde. It is recommended thatte a chalice of watyr be kepte nearbye in case of collaboration betweene the fyre elemente and the law of three. * * * An alternative to the Standarde Curse (for offending parties): Look the offending partie in his or her eyes.

29 Sep 00 - 06:13 PM (#308491) Subject: RE: DON'T POST TO THIS THREAD, EITHER!!! From: mousethief Phil Spector was an important record producer in the early 1960's. His claim to fame was a sound called the "wall of sound" which was basically a whole lot of different instruments in the background of a song, described by one web site as "a multitracked, overdubbed aural symphony Phil used as the smorgasbord to highlight his singers." The article on Phil in the R&R Hall of Fame says "The chief ingredients in the Wall of Sound -- a massive and cavernous roar created by the fusing of many individual instruments -- were maximum volume and liberal use of echo." The point being that there is no point in the song where there is just silence, and few where just one instrument is playing. Hence, "wall of sound." He produced the Ronettes (which starred his wife Ronnie Spector), the Crystals, and the Righteous Brothers (where the "wall" was a bit more subdued), and other lesser acts.

24 Dec 00 - 04:25 PM (#362829) Subject: RE: DON'T POST TO THIS THREAD, EITHER!!! From: flattop You see Rizla, Little Hawk started this thread to keep out of trouble. He got into lots of trouble in previuos lives when he had less to do than to write to mudcat. I won't tell you everything that he confessed on the last night that we met at Finnegans, Orillia's Irish pub with 30 televisions and not much Irish, but I could tell you one story. A few years ago, back in the 1920s, Little Hawk got into big trouble as a young executive. After borrowing a large sum of money from his company and losing it playing the stock market, he sank into a deep despair. He stumbled down to a bridge over the river, climbed up on the rail. As thoughts about being caught and his ruined career tormented his mind, a gnarled hand grabbed his arm. He turned and saw an ancient crone in a black cloak, with a wrinkled face and stringy gray hair. "Don't jump," she rasped. "I'm a witch, and I'll grant you three wishes for a slight consideration." "I'm beyond help," Hawker replied, but he told her his troubles anyway. "Nothing to it," she said, crackling, and she passed her hand before his eyes, "You now have a personal account of $200,000!" She passed her hand again. "The money is all back in the company vault!" She covered his eyes for the third time. "And you have just been elected first vice-president of the company." Stunned, speechless, Little hawk blurts out, "What do I owe you?" "You must spend the night making love to me, " she smiled toothlessly. The thought revolted him, but it was certainly worth it, he thought, and together they retired to a nearby hotel. In the morning, the distasteful ordeal over, he was dressing to go home when the old crone in the bed rolled over and asked, "Say sonny, how old are you?" "I'm fifty-two," he said, "Why?" "Aren't you a little old to believe in witches?" |

25 Dec 00 - 10:30 AM (#363085) Subject: RE: DON'T POST TO THIS THREAD, EITHER!!! From: Little Hawk flattop, flattop, flattop...I am so concerned for your state of mind. I know that Christmas can be a depressing time for some, and it seems that you are having a rough time. Matter of fact, I still do believe in witches...and they are not wrinkled old crones, generally speaking. At least, not the ones I know. Your story was pretty darn funny (specially the punch line), but had a couple of inconsistencies that I feel duty-bound to point out: 1. "He got into lots of trouble in previuos lives when he had less to do than to write to mudcat." Wrong! I have NEVER had less to do than writing to Mudcat! :-) In this life, in fact, I have mastered the art of having less to do than in any other life I have ever experienced, and I'm proud of it. 2. "Stunned, speechless, Little hawk blurts out, "What do I owe you?" Wrong. People who are speechless don't blurt out anything...they just stand there. 3. Your story is a vile calumny, an unconscionable prevarication, a slander of the first order, and I will get you back for it in some devious and hideous way yet to be determined. Merry Christmas, Flatso! - LH |

From: flattop Who could quibble over a detail or two during this fine festive season when Canadian girls traditionally pluck the dark hairs from their breasts leaving the soft fuzzy ones so that they will look their best when they dress up in their red capes and orange coats to saunter out through the snow into the barns and gently bang frozen dung off nativity sheep with manure forks while keeping an eye out for blackhead-free woodcutters who might pass by and grab them with one hand while swinging their axes in the other and trot them off into the woods keeping in step with the rhythms of half-dead-ted yet leaving a sneaking suspicion that someone or something is eating grandma and a strange notion that the wonderful aroma of food really isn't old butteredballs roasting in the oven. |

For one thing, he's got a hairdo that would scare the quills off an Alaskan porcupine. For another, he is seriously lacking in the sort of social skills which are required in order to maintain friendships and normal business relations in a community of this size. I won't go into details... As for you, Hesperis, TALK ABOUT THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK!!! Believe me, folks, if it were not for normal daily necessities like eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom, and so on, she would probably never be found doing anything BUT playing Quest For Glory! She is presently just beginning to play QFG II...AARGHHHH! There are still games 3 to 5 of the cursed thing waiting after that!!!

I don't think I'd find your mudcat resources picture taken through vasoline covered lens attractive even when my body was young enough to produce hormones. I can't speak for all the mudcat women though. Many of them appear to be downright weird. Now it's my turn to ask you, are ok this festive season or have you nibbled too much fruitcake? On another thread where you've been bushwacking American kats, I see you making claims that, "There are no aliens." Could have knocked me over with a tail-feather. Cc, I thought you took all 20 McGill vows before they gave you the key to their famous blue cubicles, like no rude noises outside McGill's elegant plastic walls, no spreading secrets within a half-day of receiving them, and never offer clues on streams of silliness. P.S. Now that we're over 100, isn't time to start a continuation of this thread with blue clickies to the previous two. I think that's your job Little Hawk since most of us would be challenged to come up with such interesting uppercase subjects. |

26 Dec 00 - 09:02 PM (#363753) Subject: RE: DON'T POST TO THIS THREAD, EITHER!!! From: CarolC No, flattop, you've got it wrong.
