Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: sophocleese Date: 13 Dec 00 - 08:14 AM Thank you, thank you. I have been struggling and losing sleep with this question for the last couple of days. I should have remembered that I had merely to describe the problem and the kind loving people at Mudcat would be falling all over their feet to help me. Again I am deeply moved by the willingness of Mudcatters to go that extra mile and make sure that no concern is left unanswered. Thank you, thank you, I really mean that. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Little Neophyte Date: 13 Dec 00 - 06:25 AM Soph, maybe you should make an appointment with my psychiatrist. I am quite sure he would find lots of decent material for your parody. Sometimes you just got to dig deep thats all. Little Bonaphyte

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Rick Fielding Date: 13 Dec 00 - 01:48 AM Soph, I can see the problem the parodists might have in doing an impression of you. T'ain't anything to do with perfection, just that nothing parody-wise jumps out. You just don't seem to have any (publicly) annoying habits or "beat it into the ground" positions. I've got tons. Someone who's into proper sentence construction could have a field day with my habit of using brackets. My tiresome references to Quentin Crisp having all the answers, would qualify as well. Oh, and the harping on playing "proper chords", "investing in the music", and always improving your accompaniement skills...those are rife for parody. Not to mention using.....dots...when I can't instantly think of the proper punctuation. My suspicion of religion and outright hatred of authority come into play now and then as well....oh, and I still know practically nothing about the computer! Sheeeit! Next to that you ARE perfect!

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Soph-Oh-PLEEEASE Date: 12 Dec 00 - 10:56 PM I don't like that Matt_R, he looks like my brother..icky icky icky! Matches his taste in music too! |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: sophocleese Date: 12 Dec 00 - 10:48 PM I'm still trying to find something in my manner or my presentation that would be decent material for a parody. I have to admit that I haven't found it yet, I must suppose therefore that I am perfect in all ways and, consequently, better than the rest of you. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Rick Fielding Date: 12 Dec 00 - 09:30 PM Don't sweat it Bonnie (or Little Neo, or OverallGal) we're Canadian, we aren't SUPPOSED to have an identity! As far as identities go, I wouldn't mind being Elizabeth Hurley's dress! Damn it, TWO bad jokes in one post...satisfied Fieldmouse? Rick |
|
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Little Neophyte Date: 12 Dec 00 - 06:16 AM I greatly appreciate the humor on this thread. I am now in counseling for my lack of identity. The psychiatrist says there is hope for me. Little Neon Bonniephyte |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,FriendlyBrendy Date: 12 Dec 00 - 01:54 AM I just don't see how (because you know I don't get into this much, myself), anyone could object to a bit of pasquinading. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery....(the idiots can - Click Here - ), well, then we must, by definition, agree that it in itself must be part of the creative process. Bit like What is 'Folk Music'?, I suppose. Even Bob Dylan would have agreed. I mean, like, who does he remind you of? Eh? Plagarism is rife in society today, and in order to get to my point I will have to search through numerous web pages, taking many hours, and many days, while steadily increasing my Flesch-Kincaid level Me? I'm perfectly fine and friendly (me mammy loved me!) But if I think someone's trying to take the piss, I'll tell them to shag away off for themselves. So yis can take that whatever way youse will. My life wont change much, one way or the other. B. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Rick Fielding Date: 11 Dec 00 - 11:38 PM Lost track of this for a couple of days. Hilarious, and never mean-spirited (if we don't take ourselves too seriously). Gotta stop saying "gotta"!! can't think of a joke to insert here!......for now. Rick (real one) |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Rambles Date: 11 Dec 00 - 08:36 PM Snuffy, your answer is fraught with simplicity. Please PM. me with an infinitely more complex explanation so that I may question the motivation behind every preposition and comma. Rambles |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Burke Date: 11 Dec 00 - 08:34 PM Thanks for the laugh! I can get to a machine without a cookie, but don't have a clue what I'd call myself. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Snuffy Date: 11 Dec 00 - 07:02 PM Rambles Yes |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Rambles Date: 11 Dec 00 - 04:32 PM I have been reading this thread with interest and I wish to equire what is the meaning of this thread and why did it start? I don't mean why did anonymousethief originate the thread but what is the deeper meaning of this thread and what does it tell us about ourselves as human beings. Or perhaps, more to the point, are we human beings and assuming we are, how can will really be sure whether we are right or wrong when it is only we who can arrive at such a conlusion. Or is there an alien culture that told us that we are humans and if so, where do they live? If this alien race told us that we are human beings how do we know that they are correct and how do they know who they are? Could it be that this alien race were given their identiy by an other alien race who also told them that we are human beings? Considering the possibility of the number of aliens that may or may not exist, we need to consider the number of planets that may exist and how many support life as we know it or do these aliens who may or may not have told us that we are human beings have to be life as we know it when is likely that as we are unaware of thier existance that rather than being life as we know it, they are in fact life as we don't know it?

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Matt'R'O'Fact Date: 11 Dec 00 - 04:04 PM Look, what's so special about folk music? I mean, look at Oasis, they write great lyrics and musically you can tap your toes to it, and isn't that what it's all about? Hmm? Girls never give me the time of day. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Dice Clay O'Possum Date: 11 Dec 00 - 03:56 PM Man, don't you people have lives? I mean, here I am, a feckin' piece of sculpture, forced to put up with some idjit that keeps violating my anus with his putrid breath; not to mention his delusions about those inbred sloths masquerading as FieldofDreams brothers Rug, Rug and Rug...and CleatMe! Have you read some of those posts suppossedly from CleatMe? I have to live with this person. H*ll, you all feckin' well know that I am the ars*h*le. I mean, how many sane, rational people do you know who would believe a ceremic ocarina actually types in messages to the internet? I mean, the executives of Dow Index Companies aren't that stupid, and I should know! Of course this could all be an irrational fantasy caused by sniffing too much glue while making stick dull-cimers, but I don't think so. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Peter Tea and Empathy Date: 11 Dec 00 - 01:20 PM "The Beatles more popular than Buddah?" I hardly think so. As I was sitting in the Louvre the other day absorbing the sheer majesty of Pierre de Galoshes' "Homage a Jeux de fou d'Avril", I thought "What a load of codswallop!" |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,animated Date: 11 Dec 00 - 12:00 PM Hi Friends!!! I don't have much time to spend here since Honey and I have been building that resort on the other side of our river. We're almost finished, and would like to invite the entire world to come make beautiful music, eat, drink, and be merry! Max, we remembered you! The fur-lined hammock is waiting for you out in the gold pagoda. I hope everyone can make it!!! This is going to be fun!!! Please PM me for directions, or let me know where the nearest helicopter landing site is to your house.
Love,

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Guest: SCROLL Date: 10 Dec 00 - 11:06 PM Allow me to introduce myself; I am SCROLL, trolls good twin. Please ignore troll. His postings are delusional and why the "Home for the Terminally Bewildered" lets him have access to a computer is more than I can fathom. It only gets him all worked up, and he raves for days about imaginary people named "Spaw" and "Ebbie" and "Max". I wish he abandon this ficticious world and return to his job at the family firm. Mater is so upset that she has postponed her yearly pilgrimage to Monaco for THREE days! So, please. Ignore him. Don't reply to his ravings and we may yet hope for a cure. SCROLL,Esq., P.A.

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,MuTed Date: 10 Dec 00 - 10:29 PM I hate to correct you Ricky but the Bd Demented 9th is not a chord. To keep with correct naming conventions, theoretically, it would have to be called a Bb Demented Augmented Suspended Maj 9th. MuTed |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Ricky Fieldmouse Date: 10 Dec 00 - 09:57 PM Hi! Howdy and Wow! Just heard the most obscure fantabulous guitarist in the world! He's called "Blind Bermuda Schwartz" and you've just GOTTA GOTTA hear him! He's only sold six albums in his lifetime, but he's done the best version of "It's So Lonesome in the Saddle Since My Horse up an' Died" I've ever heard. By the way how's everyone doin' on their Bb demented 9th? It's real easy (if you've got seven fingers on yer left hand) just make sure you practice til yer fingers start bleeding! Gotta invest in the music ya know! Gotta, Gotta! "insert joke here". Ricky |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Humerus Buttock Date: 10 Dec 00 - 08:10 PM Bonnie I had trouble finding a name for myself. I knew it had to have a bone in it and I like words that end in "ock". I started off with leg bones, and tried Femur Cassock and Tibia Hammock but I knew that I was more of an arm bone than a leg bone so I tried Ulna Peacock. There was still something wrong though and I realised that the second word needed to be anatomical too so I arrived at Humerus Buttock. Just keep thinking, you will get there and it will be worth the effort. HB |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Jon Forebrain Date: 10 Dec 00 - 07:42 PM Bonnie, I searched for one on the web, and NameMe appeared tobe the most likely candidate, but they have no Mac support. I am working on a programme that will hlep you do that. I should be able to knock something together in another 10 seconds or so./ |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Neon Bonniephyte Date: 10 Dec 00 - 07:34 PM I am so confused. At first I thought as I was new, I needed a name that reflected that and I saw my self as being Little Neophyte. I later thought that as my name is Bonnie and I was learning the banjo that I should change to Banjo Bonnie. I then thought that as I was still learning that I should go back to being Little Neophyte but to sign my self as Bonnie so that people would no that Little Neophyte was really Banjo Bonnie. I then thought that perhaps that was too confusing and thought that maybe if I combined the two to make Neon Bonniephyte this would simplfy matters but I no longer know who I am. Your thoughts would be so appreciated. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Woolie-OhDamn... Date: 10 Dec 00 - 04:22 PM Up here in Canada we're sick of that election that they can't figure out who lost it so they can be president. This wouldn't happen so much if there were more hits on my mp3.com site where I have recently posted a song that I wrote on Rick Fieldofdreams' former guitar which is different from my Martin O-18 which is an acquired taste but good for playing quietly and I met Stan Rogers and Stockwell Day richly deserves his impending retirement and did you know I opened for Archie Fisher? Just wondering, I have no opinion. Wooly-Oh-DamnICan'tHaveABeerButICouldSureUseOne |

Parody From: Geoff the Duck Date: 10 Dec 00 - 04:16 PM I am just sorry that when I logged on at about 1am last night (GMT), I was wanting to use the computer for non-mudcat purposes, and as a result I did not sit down and properly read the "lost thread" whilst it was live. I would did intend to follow it to its conclusion at leisure, but am not now able to. Thanks "Guest" for recovering what you could from the original. I was amused. GtD |
