OK, I have a little time on my hands right now this Saturday morning, so I will make a few links to some of the original threads.
Here, also, is the clicky thing to the Test Your Mudcat IQ thread which explains (or confuses) some of the jokes.
Here is a link containing info, as LEJ called it, on the Catspaw Myth Cycle, and as Peter T. called it, a condensed version of a whole collection of space wasters. click for Christian Deerhunters and more.
