Ahhh, well Mudcat was (and still is) only the second joint I found on this pdder thing. I like it here but I feel more at home over in Tweedsburg (tweedsblues) which is like Mayberry, RFD compared to this big ol' city.

But like a city... It's higher energy here in the Catbox and people act more like folks that is stuck in Skinner's Box, You know, a little less patient. Now that ain't all bad. If I need lyrics to a song, I can get 'em generally in 5 minutes. Back at Tweeds it might be 3 or 4 hours, or days, or never. But being city cats and somewhat couped up, this impatience can lead to rude behavior. Some folks get downright testy. Now, I've been know to walk 'round rantin' over stuff my own self but I try not to be personal 'er rude 'bout it. Just loud. They won't let be do that at Tweedsburg so I come over here and get it out of my system. Is it scarey? Well, no. Sometimes a little embarassin' but I just go and do it anyway.

As fir how I was treated? Well, the folks here who have agree with my rants have treated me purdy danged good and those who don't, fir the most part, have treated me between good *minus* and bad *plus*...

Don't know if that helps at all, but good luck with yer research. It's a very interestin' subject and I hope you will put a link to yer final paper.
