26 Aug 04 - 04:15 PM (#1257573) Subject: BS: Mudcat Tavern,Grill and Flame Bunker From: GUEST,MMario Thank G*d for Bert's credit card! I called a cleaning service AND a groundskeeping crew. they've polished and shined the entire building - including the recording studio on the third floor (when did we get a third floor? I thought those stairs led to the roof!) - and all the - ehem - "droppings" in the back garden have been composted. There's a new tanker truck worth of Guiness ready to be tapped - and the entire Mudcat Blue Plate Special collection is lined up on the CD player - I'm just going to go into the padded room for a bit for some primal scream therapy - maybe for a few weeks. If I'm not out by the weekend - send a nubile young female after me, please? |

It's a dream-fragment made of the songs, scents, and stories of the auld Taverns... the creak of a ship, someone chanting "WOBH," a desert-island breeze, the ruffling fur of a Sugar Dog, the slap of knickers on a flagpole..... ~S~ |

(Whipping out a loaded .45 Colt's Revolver and placing it prominently on the bar): Now here's the deal. You WILL be civil and even polite to one another whilst you're in here. Like a century ago, neither politics nor religion will be discussed EXCEPT in polite, civil ways that respect the other person's point of view and I suggest you don't bring 'em up at all. Anyone mentioning or even thinking of a living politician will be locked into the soundproof booth and forced to listen to accordion-accompanied rap music WITHOUT the benefit of likker or drugs.

And I'm the nastiest, meanest, most low-down drygulcher ever rode the coulees. I eat lightin' fer breakfast, earthquakes for lunch, and seven cases of dynamite fer dinner. I had my teeth pulled and replaced with railroad spikes. I've chawed up, beaten up, whomped, and hogtied more two legged skunks than Carter's got little liver pills. Whole graveyards are filled with the folks who crossed me. I drank raw nitroglycerine, spit into the sky, and made the craters on the Moon. When I was born they put on another shift at the distillery -- and I suckled drain cleanin' whiskey laced with battery acid. I don't shave and I don't pound in my whiskers and bite 'em off inside, neither -- I just take a block plane and a ramp to 'em. Ladies love me, grizzlies fear me, and I use a mountain lion as a pussycat on the hearth. Steer clear of me unless you're ready to have your Maker pick up the pieces of what used to be you!

27 Aug 04 - 05:25 PM (#1258471) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern,Grill and Flame Bunker From: Don Firth He steps in quietly, unnoticed, and looks about him. He wears a long black cloak with a hood, which he removes and hangs on the a peg on the wall beside the door, revealing that he is dressed in doublet and hose, also black. Around his neck is a simple silver chain with a small pendant. Engraved thereon are the two classic masks: comedy and tragedy. Cleverly intertwined in the engraving is the lyre of Orpheus. His jaw is firm and his nose is aquiline, but the upper part of his face is obscured by a black domino mask. His eyes, visible through the eye-holes in the mask, are dark, sharp, and ever searching. A slender but deadly-looking small-sword hangs at his side. The hilts of such swords, as worn by nobles and aristocrats, are often gold-bedecked and ornately jeweled, but the grip of this one is unadorned and obviously functional. Nevertheless, he does carry himself with an aristocratic bearing. Slung across his back is a small guitar. Because of this, some might think that he is Figaro, but they would be mistaken. He is, however, closely related in spirit. He swings the guitar off his back, sits down. Reaching into the pouch at his belt, he removes his Intellitouch electronic tuner, clips it to the headstock of the guitar, and turns it on. Others are playing and he does not wish to disturb them, so he plays harmonics very softly and lightly, checks the tuner, makes a few adjustments. Satisfied, he turns the tuner off and returns it to his belt. He quietly indicates his desire for a glass of red wine. He sits, observes, listens, and waits. Around his lips, a smile plays.

With a low, throaty giggle, The Sugar Dog (for she it is) slinks behind the TWEED'S-NOT-A-WEENIE JUKEBOX in the corner. It lights up, sparkling and showing a series of Donuel's painting on it's view-screen. She gives it a quick flick and it begins to play. Moving to the timeless beat, she sits at the feet of the mysterious man with the Intellitouch Tuner, and looks up expectantly with a slight shimmy threatening to wag her tail. She's seen him before, tho not in this garb. "But," she's thinkin', "yuh knows cain't hardly fool a sugar dog, nohow." ~S~ |

He sits in the back and orders an ale while he considers the situation. Are the trad police here, or the PC police, or the hair trigger flame throwers? No? Does he dare reach into his sleeve for his instrument? Does it have too many holes, or too few octaves, or too true a scale? Would a few times thru Margaret's Waltz, or Juice of Barley, be received or rejected? What about the Braes of Mar, or maybe Big John? The ale arrives, and the mood improves. I try a few tunes, and the reception is mixed: Who are you, what are you, do you have consistent liberal opinions? Well, no. -- That will not do. -- My opinions do not need to be consistent to be valid. Another ale, another tune, may fix things up. I cannot tell where the scent leads from here-- I'll have to come back another time, its now time to go dancing. ( Dog slinks out ) |

Remember last year when the velociraptors got in here (before they tragically became roadkill down the road a little way from the Mudcat Tavern)? They swished those claws and tails and gnashed a few chairs--I'm afraid yours might have been one of those. Rest assured we don't let velociraptors in any more, and there has been a strong movement to ban anything with a prehensile tail as well. Anyway. Find yourself a seat over on the lounge chairs near Jacqui and WYSIWYG (but maybe you want to go rinse your food off of the front of your shirt and pants first?). Whoa---wait--that crazy cat is back.

04 Sep 04 - 08:53 AM (#1264124) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern, Grill and Flame Bunker From: jack halyard My dad always said "Cook who boils potatos and peas in same pot very offensive cook." Much the same could be said of cook who does onions and leeks in same pot. As to shanties, "Dead horse, dead horse, what brings you here, Since you've been dead these twenty years, The cook without a sign of grief, Will boil you up and call yopu beef, And we poor sailors standing here, Must eat you though you taste so queer, Though you've been dead these twenty years, Dead horse, dead horse, what brings you here?" Apart from what used to be served to sailors as a meat substitute, Dead horse is what Australians call tomato sauce or Ketchup. I propose to spread a spicy variety over the slap of pteranodon grilling on the forge. I will then pull the fifteen inch bowie knife out of the counter, slice up my slab with it and declare myself world dictator. "I can hew boys, I can hack it out, I can hew a steak without any doubt, With this monster cleaver this lad's quite a star, And he'll cut a dash at the Mudcat bar. Well I like my whiskey, And I like my beer, I'll drink eighteen pints And I'll not feel queer. Actually I'm not, Into alcohol, I sing drinking songs, But don't drink at 'ol" Is that staek sizzling yet? Jack Halyard. |

(They eloped) I got to hobknob with royals - got to sing at the Queen's Perogative all three mornings - twice solos, once with the Regal Royales** (more nobility!) - likewise twice got to solo and once again with the RR's at one of the minstrel's show - pinch hit when half the group was late for the village pub sing on the first day; wandered about with the RR's and did several numbers with them - sang a shanty for the boat swings; a love song for a pub wench; sang along with countless numbers at pub sings, pirate shanty sessions and various minstrels shows and music jams. (And they didn't even ask me to shut up!!) **BTW - their CD 'pure snoods' has some incredible Lithuanian folk songs on it. I'm hoping I can get Jura to post about them or at least let me post what she has told me about them. |

Your brindle made a moonlit raid, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping. I seen her come out of the wood, Across the fields a-speeding. A partridge she had in her mouth, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping. But my dog's black and white you see, So I'm not for your keeping. He couldn't see, I'd brindled she, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping. One day his wife fell mortal ill, He had to give up p'licing. But I dropped one bird on his door each night, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping. Now she fared so well upon pheasant broth, Her colour come back creeping. So long as my bitch roamed abroad, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping, While the gamekeepers lay sleeping. Now the bitch she pupped and I given him one, To have in his own keeping. Now he's left the force, and he roams wi' me, While the gamekeepers lie sleeping, While gamekeepers lie sleeping. |

17 Sep 04 - 01:16 PM (#1274228) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern, Grill and Flame Bunker From: Stilly River Sage Ewwww--looks like the jello pit needs a shower chaser. I have one of those shepherd's crook shaped showers that goes on a hose end in the yard. If any of you wants to try it, it's in the back of the pickup out back. Water coming out of the hose is a refreshing warmish temperature still. . . and showering outside always feels to decadent! It's up to you if you're wearing anything or not. Might want to set the shower up over near the hedge. |

She flits here and there in a quest for the stray insect that slips out from the padded room, which has seen better repair. She goes out to the large and very strange pools of liquid and gell. First she takes an experimental sip at the gell ... "hmmm, vodka." Then she flies over to the other pool and takes a draft ... "Hmmm, chocolate? May wonders never cease!" She goes mad flitting back and forth in ecstatic indecision, then, exhausted and happy, goes back into the tavern and settles down in the rafters, listening and squeaking an occasional remark while grabbing up the odd mosquito or other insect.] |

I'd also like to emphasize that it is not SRS's fault she was drawn into this. In my thoughtlessness, I had confused one deceased person with another I had just read about, and I "reassured" SRS that what we were doing was all right.
