PRESS RELEASE (BUT RELEASE WON'T COME!)******
Mudcat Tavern -- October 2 --
Patrons at the infamous Mudcat Tavern have added to their reputation as the Internet version of the Japanese nuclear industry by sponsoring a "Freedom of, Like, Mumble" Exhibition to celebrate their survival after a 3rd Birthday Celebration.
Witnesses to the Celebration said that it was like outtakes from "Volcano" mingled with a dress rehearsal for "Opossum! : The Musical" designed by LEJ Fellini (first cousin to the legendary director). On sale to support open mumbling was a dress once worn by Marilyn Monroe and destroyed by a labor organizer, the empty bankbook of the jerk who dumped Wyowoman, a wiring diagram for the underside of the car of the jerk who dumped Alice, and a velvet painting of a nubile visionary holding a Kalashnikov rifle in a very spiritual manner over the dead bodies of a significant portion of the Taliban "Freedom Fighters". Protests against the portrayal of the Afghanistan leadership were sweetly responded to by the woman portrayed in the painting, a Ms. Katlaughing of Wyoming, in a phrase that sounded like "bottom feeding scum suckers".
Central to the exhibition is a second painting of a Possum dressed up to look like St. Francis of Assisi. Entitled "For The Birds", and thematically related to ecological concerns for planetary survival, the painting portrays the struggle of the animal kingdom to get its point across. Elephant Dung and Bird Poop are spread ingeniously across the painting surface, reminding patrons to look carefully, especially when wearing dress shoes and formal wear at the circus or on shipboard.
The Mayor of Mudcat Village, Completely Unscrupulos, a former Greek shipping magnate, has condemned the exhibition unequivocally. "I condemn this exhibition un -- un -- whatever that guy said in the last sentence!!!". The exhibition is currently sold out through the duration of its run. Tickets are available everywhere:
