Thread Name: BS: Origin of your mudcat handle
Subject: RE: BS: Origin of your mudcat handle
I took all the possible combinations of the Gettysburg Address and after 49 attempts came up with "catspaw." Later I found out the acual Gettysburg address was 945 Pickett Lane, Gettysburtg, PA..... but I was stuck with catspaw. This was way back in '98. Another member at that time who is also still around called himself "The Shambles" and I later learned this was slang for "broke-dick, pain in the ass, mook."

Now the site owner here has a really creative handle. His name is Max Spiegel and his handle is Max. Really cool huh? See, though what you don't know is that Max is an American Indian word meaning "guy who gets kicked in the balls by Spaw".......either that or "River of Death." But then again all Indian words seem to translate into "River of Death."

You probably noticed that I wasn't to PC there with the "American Indian" reference but we've run a load of threads about that very subject and we never reach any agreement, so I gave up. If you hear I've been found with a tomahawk in my skull, well, you figure it out.

We've run about 97 of these threads in the past 8 years so I hope ypou didn't mind me fuckin' around some with this one......All except for the part about Shambles which is true, at least to the best of my knowledge......although I could well be wrong, in which case I apologize.....a little..............
