Q. How many Mudcatters does it take to GIVE AWAY a computer?

A. Apparently, a LOT of them.

NEWSFLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reuters.....WWIII was narrowly averted on this day as a man who refers to himself as "olddude" innocently attempted to give away some computers. This simple gesture of generosity created a discussion on The Mudcat website, a Folk Music Forum, among members and guests. Forgetting that this forum is on THE INTERNET, and not a private tea party, the members heatedly debated what constituted "those in need" as "olddudes" intention was merely an attempt to give said computers to those who needed them most, and did not have the means to obtain a computer on their own...

Nanoseconds later, "olddude", the Al Quiada(Kayda, Kooda, Quidda..., hell, I can't remember how to spell it...) operative(not The Mudcatter) reportedly based in Lebanon, with links to Cuba read the link as he saw his name pop up on Google. He became "miffed"(closest translation from Arabic) for 2 reasons...1/Who is this guy using my name? And 2/How come I got left out from getting a computer, I'm living on Falafel over here...!?"
This quickly escalated to the sending of a small thermonuclear device attached to an email via the latest technology developed by Apple&Microsoft, directly to the server on which Mudcat is hosted. Fortunately, "olddude's"(The terrorist, not the Mudcatter) computer had a virus so the attempt was not successful. And Thankfully, we will all be able to enjoy our breakfasts tomorrow morn...

Odd that this all comes about as we stroll into the Christmas season, where in a manger, so long ago, a Savior was born. Gifts were given without qualification, and the Earth was at Peace.

Ho, Ho, Ho,(You callin' me a Ho? Step outside...)

Keep smilin'. It will all work out somehow...

p.s. And if any Al Quidas(or certain Mudcatters) are reading this, I'm KIDDING, just KIDDING, or as Bob Hope used to say, "don't shoot, it's only ME!)
