Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Mbo Date: 26 Mar 00 - 01:40 PM Right, Wyo! Here it is, The Mudcat Prom! --Mbo |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: WyoWoman Date: 26 Mar 00 - 01:28 PM And why does Catspaw keep pinning and pinning and pinning my corsage on me? He's so fastidious. Wants that flower to be in just the right place, I suppose. And anyway, I think it was Kat who fell off 'Spaw's, um, gondola.... Someone who has better Blues Cliquey Thing skills than I do should start a fresh thread for the Prom. People see "Spring Cleaning" and it doesn't precisely sound like much of a party... But, the sun just came out and I'm going to go ride my bike for a while. Here. I'll just stash this bubblewrap over here in the corner and ... What? HEY, YOU try cycling nekkid. It's much harder than it looks... ww |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: PA Dan Date: 26 Mar 00 - 08:43 AM Just got here. The place is mess. Looks like it could use a good Spring Cleaning. No signs of life except for a lobster running around the parking lot with a leftover hors d'oeuvre. And what's with all the concrete blocks? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: wysiwyg Date: 26 Mar 00 - 02:03 AM I guess if you're going to name the K&Q of the prom anytime soon you'll have slim pickings there, LEJ-- seems like attendance is a bit low just now... but if you'll wait til later Hardiman and I might be back to show you all the Schmielzo Polka.... I'm off to the car for a geezer nap, cuz when Hardiman and me dance, we dance hard-- gotta rest up! This isn't one a them early-endin' Proms now is it? We can go to those in the 3D world! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Mar 00 - 12:59 AM LEJ taps microphone, clears throat Uhhh..Welcome everybody to Mudcat's Prom. If you didn't know, the theme this year is " A Magic Night in Old Venice", and I'd like all of us to give a big hand to the prom committee who spent all afternoon digging these elaborate canals you see all around the dance floor. Applause Oh, somebody throw Catspaw a rope, he fell out of his gondola...In just a minute our band, The Skip Biederbeck Quintet, will play Smokey and the Miracle's You Can Depend on Me and we'll have the spotlight dance and voting for the Prom King and Queen! In the meantime, check out the punch...I think Wyo hit it with a fifth of Everclear! Oh...and if anyone has seen my lobster, please report to the bandstand. He's got, er, something that belongs to me. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Sorcha Date: 26 Mar 00 - 12:53 AM I hope to all heavens he went to bed. And I can't stay at the Prom any longer, just found out another friend has taken the railway home.........and her name is that of her sister in law who is one of our best friends......always happens on Prom nite, no? Nite all, I'm gonna go to sleep now, and pray for all those still out, or who may be out on Prom Nite in a few weeks. Sorry to put a dampper on the festivities, but at least Mbo made it There and Back Again! Love, Sorcha |

Spaw |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: wysiwyg Date: 26 Mar 00 - 12:24 AM Dave, I'll keep you company. Hardiman's gone to bed early to be rested for church early tomorrow, and anyway the only dance I really know is the Schmielzo Polka. Look at Mbo dancing with all the young ladies... that trip changed his life, didn't it? ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 26 Mar 00 - 12:20 AM Guess since I never graduated from high school and I dont have a date tonight..I'll just sit around near this highly decorated maple tree and watch the fun. I always wondered what happens at these prom nights. Hope they will play Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys? Ahh change up and lets have a glass of that beer. Hope nobody lights a match near it....Wow look at the dancers, man this is a fun place tonight... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: WyoWoman Date: 26 Mar 00 - 12:01 AM I'm afraid to actually start the Sock Hop Proper. The last time I actually went to a prom, my boyfriend broke up with me the week before the prom, started going steady with a girl I loathed, forcing me to accept my brother-in-law's little brother as my date. He started drinking by the time we pulled out of my parents' driveway, threw up on my dyed-to-match shoes after the second song and I actually was home before midnight the night of my senior prom. Ugh. The only triumph in all this is that, when I went back for my high school reunion summer before last, I looked MUCH better than she does. I think I'll join Michael K. in the corner and cleverly disguise myself behind a pair of dark glasses, looking urbane and sophisticated, pretending I'm really above all this nonsense. Maybe we'll wait 'til the band takes a break, stage a bloodless coup and take over the bandstand. Want to play me some Ella standards, Michael? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: MK Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:52 PM I'll just be sitting in a dark corner, incognito, a pint of Sleeman Honey Lager in hand, taking it all in.........if anyone needs me. 8-) |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Sorcha Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:42 PM Well,dammit,I tried twice, somebody else do it! Start the Sock Hop Prom! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Sorcha Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:38 PM I think it's about time to open this Prom proper, so Let's go to the sock hop! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: WyoWoman Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:36 PM At last, that menage a trio I've always imagined. Shall I sing low or high? Catspaw IS both low and high, so he don't make no nevermind. C'mon, Kat, let's hear "Angel of the Morning..." -- that always worked for ME in the '60s as a pre-treatment for post-coital guilt. Ww |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: katlaughing Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:29 PM Yeah, I love Jim, too, but man, we have GOT to have some Wipe Out! C'mon, Spaw, darlin, get that bubble wrap chaperone over here and let DO IT! She's no chaperone if we burst all those bubbles! Ooooo, the car looked SO nice, and I don't know what my daddy was thinking, but ya know we could just dump those blocks out by the river, drive up to the bluff point, with the top down, Uhoh, no WW, I didn't mean alone, I mean you can come, too, uh, oh well, how's about a dance ya'll??!! Hahahahahahahahahah.....wipe out! da-da-da-dadada-da-da-da-da-da-da-dadadada Yeah!!! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Mbo Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:17 PM I concur! Oh no! Yet ANOTHER Mudcat Doors fan! It's spooky! People are strange When your a Stranger Faces look ugly when your alone Women Seem Wicked When your unwanted Streets are uneven when you are down When Your strange Faces come out in the rain When Your strange Nobody remembers your name When your strange When your strange When your strange........ --Mbo

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: WyoWoman Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:16 PM Well, there you go. Mine, too. Has been since I was in college and heard it for the first time while lying on the floor of my dorm room, listening to the Doors through a hair-dryer hose. (don't ask) I knew instantly that Jim Morrison had seen right into my soul. Or, like, whatever. Then I soon decided that he just made very good use of a rhyming dictionary and I wasn't sure it was actually ART. But, oooh, baby, did I like the way he moved. ww |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Kelida Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:06 PM But that's MY theme song!! ; ) |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: WyoWoman Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:05 PM I think that's the Mudcat Theme Song, Kelida. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Kelida Date: 25 Mar 00 - 11:01 PM No, that's good pop. But if I here any boy bands or other kinds of sellouts it makes me go a little (more) nuts. But someone should play "People Are Strange" by the Doors. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Mbo Date: 25 Mar 00 - 10:58 PM It's SUPPOSED to be top spot! Kel...I hope you don't think that late 60's British Invasion music is lousy pop! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Kelida Date: 25 Mar 00 - 10:53 PM Evening in Timbuktu? Or maybe Kalamazoo? I don't care as long as there's no lousy pop music--ugh! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: ceitagh Date: 25 Mar 00 - 10:52 PM Who needs a date anyway? Go stag...dance with everyone else's dates. ceit |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Mbo Date: 25 Mar 00 - 10:51 PM Both, Kelida if you want! Sorcha--exactly WHO would that date be?
HEY FOLKS! Let's have a big round of applause for tonight's Mudcat Prom house band, Midnight Blue! YAY! We got a Move song for all you crazy guys and girls!
Goin' to a party,

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: WyoWoman Date: 25 Mar 00 - 10:49 PM Frankly, the lobster worries me, what with the bubblewrap gown and all. I don't have a date either, but I've volunteered to be Catspaw and Kat's chaperone. Of course, Spaw's going to try to turn our evening into a menage a bubble, but he doesn't know that Kat's dad has hired me to protect her honor tonight and I shall do my utmost to see that she returns home, um, intact. Even if it means throwing my body on top of 'Spaw's to protect her -- I mean, between them... Do I hear "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" in the distance? Such great makeout music and what do I have? Kat and her 'Spaw spawing each other, in direct defiance of her daddy's wishes. I'm so frustrated. I think I'll just go have a nice cup of punch and a double shot of Mr. Jameson's finest, neat. Oh, my ... doesn't the bandstand look nice? All that colored Kleenex stuffed into the chicken wire across the front of the stage... What's the theme? Evening in Paris? Even in Juarez? Evening up the Forest? WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE BAND!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Sorcha Date: 25 Mar 00 - 10:31 PM Ah hell, this is a great time to find out my date ain't got no b****! Well, I guess I can always EAT lobster, anyway! (yuck yuck :) ) Let's do one for Meebo and His Great Adventure! Play it again, Sam! And let's get this show on the road, now! pink crusteaceans and all! Got to find me a pick up truck! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Kelida Date: 25 Mar 00 - 10:27 PM A date? LOL. . . Or a dress? Cool. Size 9. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Mbo Date: 25 Mar 00 - 10:19 PM Kelida, I'm taking metal design in the summer, perhaps I can forge you one? :{> --Mbo

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Kelida Date: 25 Mar 00 - 10:11 PM Prom? And I just now found out. : ( I'm not even going to my real life prom this year--I can't afford the floor length red-metallic-vynyl(sp?) dress that I want to wear. Oh well. . .I do have a request though--at least one good slip jig. . . Oh no, I don't even have a date--I'm so embarrassed!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Mbo Date: 25 Mar 00 - 09:48 PM I know lots of old standards...AND I DID bring the Roy Wood's Big Band '93 album...heh heh heh! Ceit, you can have to top stop! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Mar 00 - 09:45 PM Well kat...we've arrived...........the car looks sharp, even your Dad commented on it....Say, why the hell did he want to inspect it when we get home anyway? And what's with the concrete blocks? I mean he filled the whole backseat and half the front with them....geeziz, I can barely see you...I told him I'd take them to his buddy on Monday, but NO, HE had to load the damn things tonite!!!........I'll come around and open the door...uh, are you still over there?.....Damn concrete blocks..............so I figure this prom wil go awhile, some folks have watches that work different than mine for some reason...................Let's see, hey, look , there's Leej......What the hell is that on your coat man? Looks like a one clawed lobster......It is? Its alive?...Oh well that explains the reason its moving around like that, like now...its got its tail pointing in your face, must be related to Cleigh........Well, its a fine evening anyway isn't it Leej....kat looks great and the air is like warm butter and th.......WHOA!!!!!....GEEZIZ, that lobster went right for your whang man...looks painful............Damn thing must have panicked of something.....yeah, I bet it does hurt to pull it off like that, looks like its loosening the claw...yeah, maybe a bit of warm butter would help th.....GEEZIZ that thing is NUTS and if it keeps this up, you ain't gonna' have any!!!.........saywhat?....Sure, I'll leave....MY FAULT???...What the hell do you mean my fault?.......Sure, I'll catch you later Leej..............................Ya' know kat, I can't figure what his problem is, but I do know you wouldn't catch me wearin' one of those lobsters!!!...........Looks like the music is about to start.............. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: JenEllen Date: 25 Mar 00 - 09:43 PM Just back in from stringing the chinese lanterns around the floor. That monster maple tree didn't know what hit it. And that corner is NOT low! Too much beer with animals on the can.... Anybody know "Stardust"????? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: ceitagh Date: 25 Mar 00 - 09:43 PM hey Meebs...don't worry about the dancing...i faked it through my prom last year and i don't think anybody noticed. The main thing is to get the clinch right. Sweaty palms are a definite turn off, so don't forget to chalk up first, and you're leading, so whatever you do is right. Save a spot on the dance card for me, eh? LEJ, can i have the other claw? then your lobster can't pinch anyone. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Sorcha Date: 25 Mar 00 - 08:48 PM Yo, LEJ, I never met a lobster I couldn't eat. I ate "Dancing Shrimp" once, does your lobster dance? Onliest other prom I ever went to was my Jr., in 1968, cause a Bolivian forgien student asked me (no proms in Bolivia) and my parents made me! Would NOT go to the prom my Sr. yr...........boooooring! This Mama don't dance, but I can waltz and two step just a little, is it a go? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Mbo Date: 25 Mar 00 - 08:31 PM Ah yes, EJ...I understand completely.. --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Lonesome EJ Date: 25 Mar 00 - 08:26 PM Sure, Sorch. But if we slow-dance watch out for my lobster. Guess I'll have to rubber-band his claw. Oh, yeah, Ceit. The lobster is pink because he was using the tanning booth this afternoon and nodded off. Not the first time, by the way. Got a request for the prom, and dedicate it to my date at the Pleasure Ridge Park Senior Prom in 1967, Sharon Schuh :
The Love of my Life |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: Mbo Date: 25 Mar 00 - 08:20 PM Dunno...I don't have a date, so...and I'm much too, well...LARGE to be very graceful when dancing. I can do the Freddie, that's about it! --Mbo |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Spring Cleaning From: katlaughing Date: 25 Mar 00 - 05:52 PM Hey, you'll have to ask Spaw when to get here for the Prom..he's the Prom King. He promised he'd pick me up in a slicked up, shiny convertible. I hope he brings the 1963 Ford Galaxie with the 390, 4 speed, baby moon wheel covers and a 4 barrel, with a new, white tonneau cover! 'Course, this being the 60's and all, ya can wear whatever you want to. I'll probably wear a mini dress with my long hippie bead necklace and some flowers in my hair. Mmmm, maybe we'll drive down the coast to San Fransisco afterwards?! Oh, nice deck! Perfect for dancing. Has anyone set up the sound system, yet? And, lighting? Moonlight'll be great, but a little soft bit would be nice, though not TOO bright! Now, I know I said boo on 50's, but right now, I can help it, I've Bobby V on my mind, She wore bluuuuuueeeeee veeelllllveeettt Oh, slow dancing in the moonlight, gonna be fun! |
