YET MORE DON'T POST TO THIS THREAD

Created by public demand. For all you people who wouldn't be caught dead posting to an inane thread with no useful content...like this one.

Can anybody not post to this thread, or is it reserved for select non-posters? I did not post (or not not post, come to think of it) to any of the previous 'don't post to this thread' threads, so I would sure not want to impose on this thread by not posting to it, especially with my track record in not posting to the previous threads.

Then again, once I haven't posted to this thread, is there then an obligation for me to return to the previous 'don't post to this thread' threads and not post to them again? Or, by not posting to this thread, are my not-posts 'grandfathered' by association into the threads which I have not previously not posted to? Forgive my confusion, it's the first time I haven't posted to this thread. And I'm a drummer.

How long do you thing it will take the dictionary to catch up to the meaning of the word "thread" as used here? Alternatively, what happens to the meaning of this non-thread if we substitute some of the dictionary definitions?

Don't post to this fine cord of fibrous material.
Don't post to the spiral ridge on a screw.
Don't post to something that is thin.
Don't post to your clothes.

There are also some interesting definitions for "post" -- I like the ones that are nouns the best, so if we reverse the statement and say "Don't thread to this post" we can get even more interesting combinations. It also allows us to use some of the verb definitions of "thread."

Don't connect by running a string through an upright support for a fence.
Don't machine a spiral into a military base.
Don't proceed in a winding fashion to a guard station.
Don't drop thick liquid from a spoon to put a letter in a mailbox.
Well, the possiblities are endless, especially if you start using synonyms for "post" and "thread".

CarolC, have you ever run "CarolC" through a spell checker? You get "caloric". Is there some meaning here? (meaning on this thread?? Ha!)

31 Dec 00 - 03:18 PM (#366344)
Subject: RE: YET MORE DON'T POST TO THIS THREAD
From: Little Hawk

Hi, Carol,

Well, it really doesn't mean anything. It was a made-up word created by Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis, two Canadian comedians in Toronto. Dave Thomas was a veteran of the comedy cabaret called "Second City" that flourished in Toronto in the mid-to-late 70's, as I recall. Some of the greatest comedians of the late 20th century got their start at Second City doing stand up comedy for live audiences. These people were GOOD!

A number of them then got an idea for a TV comedy whose main premise would be to mock television itself...thus was born the show "SCTV"...a 1 hour comedy show on the Global TV Network in Toronto, Canada.

SCTV was supposedly a very small independent TV network of its own. Accordingly the show had a lot of little short skits (and some longer ones) that simulated a day's programming on a TV station. There were news reports, sports reports, soap operas, adventure shows, talk shows, interviews, and just plain totally weird stuff...most of it VERY funny.

I think SCTV was the cleverest satirical show of all time, in fact.

At any rate, one of the SCTV series of skits became hugely popular in the USA...that was "The Great White North" featuring the 2 moronic Canadian brothers Doug and Bob MacKenzie (fictional characters created by Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis). Moranis was not a veteran of Second City, but he became an important member of the SCTV crew, and has had a very successful career since, in any number of Hollywood movies.

So...Doug and Bob MacKenzie...they were idiots who wore toques and cruddy old jackets and were supposedly typical of young Canadian men (the REALLY stupid ones, that is...). Their working vocabulary was limited to about 25 or so words and simple phrases. Their interests included beer, back bacon, beer, sitting around, beer, um...and beer mostly.

Now, it is well known that Americans think stupidity is hilarious, and that most successful American comedy is based upon that. Accordingly, "The Great White North" became hugely popular south of the Canadian border, while the other SCTV stuff (which was very clever, satirical, and witty) did not. Doug and Bob then became hugely popular in Canada as well, which is what always happens. The USA sneezes, and Canada catches a cold.

It made SCTV, while alienating most of its cast, who couldn't figure out why one of the least clever skits was getting all the attention. Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis were flabbergasted by the whole thing. All of a sudden it was like Beatlemania every time they showed themselves on the street.

Believe me, I remember, it was nuts. Every teenage guy in Canada was going "Take off, you hoser!" "Beauty, eh?" and all the other stuff like that. This was in the early 80's.

So..."hoser" was a made up word that NO ONE used before it appeared on SCTV.

However, in its own realm of understanding "hoser" basically meant: a goof, a dummy, a moron, a dweeb, an idiot, a loser, etc...

Got the idea?

That's my long answer to your short question.

From: CarolC

Thanks, Little Hawk.

I used to be a big fan of SCTV, and I've probably seen all of the shows at least twice (maybe more). You're right... it was great. I didn't know that the word "hoser" originated with that show. I thought they were using a word that was already in common usage.

Matt, what a warped interpretation of Canadian culture! Do we need to add subtitles to Canadian movies for the uncultured south of us? What's confusing you is that in Canada we sometimes put food in the dog's beer dish.


31 Dec 00 - 06:32 PM (#366460)
Subject: RE: YET MORE DON'T POST TO THIS THREAD
From: flattop

Hoser was recently on the table at an international meeting of North American etymology inexperts. They dropped it on the floor a few times when the Canadian suggested it might be a steeltown pronounciation of the American word, Hoosier which some of us have trouble pronouncing. The American suggested that Hoosier was a more scared word for buffoon. Here in Orillia we have an even more refined version of the word, which you might use if you were approached by a harmonicas wearing folksinger trying to sell you bootlegged pantyhose. Then you might say, "Get out of here, you hosier."

Something a little less risque, perhaps?

It's fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountancy,
To find, explore the funds offshore
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy.

It can be manly in insurance.
We'll up your premium semi-annually.
It's all tax-deductible.
We're fairly incorruptible.
We're sailing on the wide accountancy...

Little Hawk, flattop's not in a snit. He's just having a hard time working up the courage to come out of the closet with his harmonica playing. He's even got a little holder so he can play the harmonica and his guitar at the same time.

Have some compassion for him. This is a tough decision he's facing, and he needs our help and support.

Wow, Firecat, not everyone celebrates their birthday at 4:43 AM! Must've been some party.

Matt - Okay, have it your way...you're NOT a nerd. But consider this...the world is full of people who are desperately afraid that someone will think they are a nerd. Those people:

1. start smoking at age 13 and stay hopelessly addicted for life.

2. Buy GAP clothing.

3. Wear baseball caps backwards.

4. Join gangs and beat up people whom they accuse of being nerds...or whomever else is handy.

5. When flagged down by a cop, floor it, and end up wrapping themselves around a lamppost or running over a pedestrian.

6. Shoot down numerous members of their High School class whom they think think they are nerds.

7. Get stinking drunk as often as possible at the local bar and pick fights with complete strangers over nothing whatsoever.

And so on...

People who are afraid of being nerds are a curse upon society, while those who happily embrace nerd-dom accomplish all the wonderful things that enrich our lives...like computers and Pacific Air War, for example.

So I say, let's hear it for Nerds. NERDS RULE!!!!

Bravely, bold Sir Robin Rode forth from Camelot; He was not afraid to die, Brave, brave Sir Robin! He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin! He was not in the least bit scared To be smashed into a pulp, Or to have his eyes gouged out, And his elbows broken; To have his kneecaps split, And his body burned away, And his limbs all hacked and mangled, Brave Sir Robin! His eyes gouged out and his liver removed and his nostrils raped and his bowels unplugged, And his penis.... "That's enough, fair minstrels! Looks like there's trouble afoot!"

My parents forbade me to watch "Monty Python" but it came on TV Saturday nites while they were out dancing....

Carol, no, I'm not Canadian. I'm an Amurrican, y'know. Born and raised in deepinahearta Illinois. I'm currently in the navy, 19-1/2 years and due to retire in July.

I like the way people think in this forum! I think I can fit in pretty well here. I am not a nerd, but I was the class clown all thru school. I am a fan of Monty Python, The Marx Bros., Classic Movies, Folk Music, Old-time Radio, and antiques. My folks always thought I should have been born before them, the way I like all things old and antiquated.

I'd like to see this Mudcat calendar myself. Will other photos of nude instruments be available? I'm not partial to acccordions, but a harmonica with all 10 holes exposed gets me hot.

Thanks for making me feel welcome. Pete

Pete M'Gurk,

The Mudcat nude calendar will feature a number of Mudcat members who will be wearing only their instruments. Except for me. I'm wearing ribbed stockings, a fedora hat and my accordion.

You can buy it for the pictures of the instruments if you want. (Different strokes for different folks...) But I hope everyone will buy it. Max and the Mudcat could use the money to help keep this site going.

Alison in Australia is currently the contact person for this project. She could use more people to submit photos for the calendar, in case you would like to participate. (I hope you have a big enough harmonica.)

Carol

Me? Pose nude for a calendar? Only if you want sales to drop off immediately! I'm assuming it'll be a 2002 calendar...

Seriously, I'll think about it. A harmonica can only cover up so much - I may have to string a few of them together and drape them conservatively over my beer belly and naughty bits.

What's a good address to use for contacting this Alison in Australia person?

Pete

Go to the banner at the top of this page, or the Forum Home page, and click on "personal pages". On the personal page, scroll down to "messages". Click on "send a message". In the box provided, type in "alison". There will be a list of about three names, all variatons on alison. Click on the one that just says "alison". It should be the one at the top. Then just type in your message and send it.

When you want to look at your personal messages, there are a couple of ways to do it. If there is a personal message waiting for you there will be a small banner just above the threads to tell you that you have x number of messages. Click on that. That will take you to your messages (or go through the same process that I described for sending a message). Your messages should be listed by member name and title. Click on the title to open. To respond, click on the member name.

You might want to read the FAQ thread at the top of the list of threads for more information about how to function in the Mudcat. I'm going to send you a personal message just so you can try it out and see how it works.

The calendar will actually be for 2001, but it will (true to Mudcat form), be a little quirky. It will probably start with February and end with January.

My next post is going to have to be pretty funny, now, or people might get the wrong idea about me.

Carol

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas.
I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge.
I've got lots of lovely lira,
Now the Deutschmark's getting dearer,
And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money!
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash!
Some people say it's folly, but I'd rather have the lolly,
With money you can make a smash!

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money!
There is nothing like a newly minted pound!
Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker,
It's accountancy that makes the world go round!
You can keep your Marxist ways, for it's only just a phase...
Money, money, money makes the world go round!!!

Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money!!!

Actually, we figure to do a photo of Hesp with all her musical instruments conveniently covering the vital spots, so to speak. There are so many of them (the instruments, I mean!) that she may hardly be visible at all, but we'll see what we can do.

Glad you cleared that up, LH. I thought you meant she had so many vital spots. Then again if she doesn't, why does she need many instruments to conceal them?

I laughed out loud at Ally McBeal wearing a tinwhistle. What would show through the holes, I wonder?

The back of the whistle, most likely. Probably more attractive than the alternative at that.

My apologies to Calista. She would need a low whistle or boxwood flut to cover herself, and I think she'd fill it out nicely. :)

Gervase,

I saw your post to the "steamed puddings" thread. I've got a can of Heinz Spotted Dick I'm using as a bookend. Can you tell me why they put fish oil in what appears to be some kind of dessert, or sweet? Doesn't sound very tasty to me.

Makes a great bookend, though.

Why oh why can't we have a thread on the original version of "Riley's Daughter" or the picking style used by left-handed Lute players in 15th century Canterbury gatherings...

Little Hawk, I've been trying to find the lyrics for some of the rather tasteless songs from the Tudor and Elizabethan eras that we used to sing when I was in high school, but I haven't been able to find them on the 'net so far. Still looking, though.

One of them began something like this:

(Belch) Pox on you!
(Belch) Pox on you?

Something something something, you're stomach's so queasy

Something something something why cannot I belch and fart?


I don't have the songbook any more and I don't know where to find it. Does anyone know where I can look?

Subject: Lyr Add: DECOMPOSING COMPOSERS (Monty Python)
From: CarolC

Ok, still looking. While looking, however, I hooked up with a site that directed me right back here to the Mudcat Cafe. How about that?


This one's for Spaw, in honor of my late great "Beethoven's Birthday" thread.

Beethoven's gone, but his music lives on,
And Mozart don't go shopping no more.
You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again,
And Elgar doesn't answer the door.

Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh,
Whilst composing a long symphony,
But one hundred and fifty years later,
There's very little of them left to see.

They're decomposing composers.
There's nothing much anyone can do.
You can still hear Beethoven,
But Beethoven cannot hear you.

Handel and Haydn and Rachmaninov
Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal,
But nowadays, no one will serve them,
And their gravy is left to congeal.

Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds
With their highly original sound.
The pianos they played are still working,
But they're both six feet underground.

They're decomposing composers.
There's less of them every year.
You can say what you like to Debussy,
But there's not much of him left to hear.
