I'd like to comment that casting these half-bemused unrecognizable nounless vagaries into a public forum with no statement of reference or bloody context is irritating. Whatever the hell ARE you talking about?

And while you're about it, what do you think of the strange remark of the Mayor's to the cat-owning lady? Isn't that a bit...odd?

There is another thread entitled 'BS/censored town' further down the list.

If you click on it you may find the same thing as I did.

A completely blank screen.

There is no mention of a mayor talking to a cat owning lady anywhere.

hence my preference for commenting on the former.

The clues were in the quotes - " "

the prefix BS

and the title which can be found on the list.

Come on sherlock.

If you spent less time with your head up your arse and more time using your imagination you might not have such a hard time.

Well, thanks for the context. I thought it was some obscure local reference like the cat-owning lady one which I invented.

You need only to turn to the content of the thread to see what it is about. No Conent=No thread.

Unlike this content laden, high minded, ground breaker!


(I am   guessing from the title of - what's 'BS/censored town' all about? someone was going to complain about mudcat insisting that MUSIC and Related Threads Get Top Billing,and BS threads like this get put to the bottom, but then the meds kicked in and they fell asleep on the "Submit Message" button before they could share the pearls of wisdom they no doubt had, but could not remember two days later when the fog cleared. But that is just a guess)

The thread, when I open it, reminds me of 1967 from about January until late September. THAT was one heckuva party. I have no idea how the cat ended up in Aunt Mehitabel's underwear or where the ice cream maker came from. We sent a Western Union telegram to a friend in Iowa telling him to ignore the first telegram. Man, was he pissed off.

The thread was started by an anonymous GUEST using no name. Under current MC policy that is a no-no. It appears that the post was deleted, but the thread itself was not deleted. Perhaps a Clone deleted the post, but only Joe can delete the thread? I don't know.

Anyway the entire post was as follows:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking,_Austria
    Exactly so, Bee-W. However, if the last message in a thread is deleted, the thread is supposed to dsappear. For some reason, it didn't do it this time. I didn't follow the link - it was posted anonymously and looked like trouble, so I decided not to risk hitting something I didn't want to hit.

I'm serious. I have seldom ever seen a guy so angry in my life. He was a nice guy until ya got him riled. Then look out. He was 6'5", 240 pound football player. Anyway, he was in Iowa visiting his girlfriend's parents. He got a call saying he had a telegram and could he go pick it up in town--which was about 50 miles away. Either that, or they'd mail it to him. He went to get it. It read, "Dear XXXXX, please ignore first telegram. Everything OK." Then three of us signed it. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, months later we found out he was back in town and looking for the three people who'd signed the telegram.

It was the car crash that got one of the fellows so upset. Sheesh. One of the guys went to the store to get provisions. He called to say he'd put a minor dent in xxx's car. Then he left town for about two months. Anyway, I don't want to bore you with this stuff. It all took place between January 2 and 7. Things got rowdy, rough and very strange shortly thereafter.

Thanks Bee-dubya-ell,

you didn't need to do that but it is appreciated all the same for sheer satiation of curiosity.

I would have been happy with peace's explanations.

In a strange and slightly worrying way I found them not only satisfactory, but believable!

LOL! Peace --

Remind me some day to tell you the story of the Tau Kapa Epsilon football payers -- six of them in a tiny compact car -- who came to recover their dog-napped Saint Bernard mascot!! Watching them, red-faced and angry, looking for someone to trample and arguing about who would have to get in the back with the dog -- which had mysteriously been painted with red and blue polkadots and a red ribbon around his large neck -- was a wonderful sight, only compromised by the fact that I had to take it in by squinting between some Venetian blinds in the apartment across the street... further, deponent sayeth not.

I will admit it was my idea. When the fellow and I finally touched base we both ended up laughing about it. He damned near got thrown in the jug for getting loud in the WU office insisting he wanted the first telegram and what the hell good was WU, etc, etc. Thing is none of us wanted to lie to our friend and make up stuff about the first telegram, so we told him the truth. We blamed a fourth guy who wasn't at the party.

THANK YOU, Amos. Then you remind me to tell you about five guys on the New Jersey Turnpike who got pulled over for no reason at all. Smoke billowing out of the car and one of the guys eating everything he could get his hands on before they were stopped.

The cop who pulled them over had a lisp. The five guys in the car were spaced. One subsequently more than the others.

The driver had everyone roll the wiondows down to clear the haze and he was trying to get everyone to stop laughing. Police officer came up to the driver window and said, "Alright, fellow, let me thee your licenth and registration." Pandemonium reigned.

The fellow who ate the entire stash was also the guy at the party who took about three hits of acid because he was sure it wasn't working, only to find out that he'd taken stuff about ten minutes between doses and was actually all buggered up with how to keep track of time. He was a strange character.

I shall not tell of the chap from DC who was enjoying a pipe or so with friends when he suddenly decided he HAD to get to New York. He friends tried to reason with him, telling him that he was stoned out of his mind and that he'd get picked up for speeding, but he insisted that he'd be very, very careful.

Off he went.

Sometime later he saw the inevitable red lights in his rearview mirror and pulled over. The officer started the conversation:

"Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"

"60?" the guy queried.

The officer shook his head.

"70?"

"No."

"80?"

Another head shake.

The guy was frantic. How fast HAD he been going?

"90???"

"No," said the cop. "You were going twenty-five miles per hour, and you've got traffic tied up clear back to Baltimore!"

My buddy pulled up to a red light in Montreal. He stopped. Started looking for something in the glove box. Looke up, the light was still red. He kept looking. Looked up, the light was still red. Started looking once more. He was startled by a knock on the driver window. There was a police officer. He rolled the window down. "Yes, sir?" Cop says, "You have sat here through five light changes. Try to make the next one." My buddy was so flustered he stepped on the gas and went--right through a red light. He looked in the rear view expecting to see the cherries flashing. Insted, there was the cop with his hand on his brow shaking his head.
