Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? (2001) From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 18 Jun 21 - 06:08 PM There's still time for a Spanish adventure! Pencil it in for 2022. Thanks for the kind words, from both of us. Regards |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? (2001) From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Jun 21 - 09:16 PM And I want to say how much I appreciate Martin's hospitality on my two visits to Ireland. On my second visit to Ireland in May, 2012, Martin took me birdwatching on Galway Bay, and then we went to a singing session in Kinvarra, and then we had a barbecue with the renowned Josephine. It was delightful. I've often wished that I could go to Spain with Martin to teach English, but that didn't happen. Whatever the case, I can't say how much I appreciate Martin and Josephine and the friendship they have shown to me through the years. Martin and Josephine, may you survive another 20 years of marriage and song, and then some. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? (2001) From: Jeri Date: 17 Jun 21 - 09:05 PM A health to you both. Survived 20 years AND that song! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? (2001) From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 17 Jun 21 - 04:08 PM Martin and Josephine celebrated on beautiful Clare Island, off the coast of Mayo - where "broadband" is definitely ill-named! Regards |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? (2001) From: Felipa Date: 15 Jun 21 - 03:50 PM Comhghairdeas! I guessed the answer the first time "Liam's brother" published 2 verses of "A NEW BALLAD CALLED 'JOSEPHINE'S DOWNFALL'" but then I knew that Martin Ryan was marrying/ is married to a "Josephine". I still don't know whether Dan Milner has a brother named "Liam". Are Martin and Josephine not hosting a singaround to celebrate? (I know singers who hosted birthday events on Zoom this year). |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Jun 21 - 02:23 PM And today Martin and Josephine are celebrating 20 years of marriage. Congratulations! -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: wdyat12 Date: 26 Apr 01 - 09:42 AM Thanks Folks, Everybody did a fine job guessing the identity of Man #2. Maggie's gonna kill me for letting the cat out of the bag, but she'll get over it. Now about that pole Naemanson. Where do you think woodpeckers go on their honeymoon? You better give me a hand removing all those rocks. Somethings in life just can't wait! wdyat12 |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Naemanson Date: 26 Apr 01 - 08:39 AM Yes! Congratulations to all our players! Prizes awarded all around. The prize is a hug from your resident Naemanson. You can collect any time. So, Alison, do we get any hints to carry on our guessing games? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Frank McGrath Date: 26 Apr 01 - 06:46 AM Martin!, Congratu-feckin-lations! I thought you were married at least 3 or 4 times already with 12 or 14 children to your name. And sure even if you are - another one won't kill you. It's a bit of a bummer joining the thread so late and missing all the fun though. Anyway I'm delighted for you Martin. Will there be a few songs at the ceremony and reception? Will there what. There's an idea - maybe we should pick a few appropriate songs for the occasion. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Fibula Mattock Date: 26 Apr 01 - 06:37 AM double congratulations wdyat12 and Martin. 'Tis the season to be married, eh?! All the best. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Barbara Date: 26 Apr 01 - 02:15 AM Is this real? Yep, it's reel 12, take 2, ACTION!
Did you know there's a new Firesign Theater compilation out? Not all the old stuff, but a lot...
Now we will learn three words in Turkish: towel, delight, may I see your passport please?
Now it's time to play, Name That Disease!
The compilation is called, "Shoes For Industry; Shoes For the Dead", I think....
Congratulations Martin and Wydat12! We want pictures! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: CarolC Date: 26 Apr 01 - 12:23 AM Oh... I get it. You guys have been waiting for me. And here I was ignoring this thread because nobody was guessing it. Well well...
Hum tum te dum... AHEM Wdyat12 Congratulations everybody! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Matt_R Date: 25 Apr 01 - 10:25 PM So did we find out anything here? Or is it still guessing games? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Naemanson Date: 25 Apr 01 - 10:20 PM Jeri, take those puns over to the pun thread! I CAN'T reveal the name directly. I have been forbidden to do so. He is waiting for someone to guess and write out the name. If I say his name he could do all sorts of nasty things. Once one of you (Carol) guesses correctly he will reveal himself... uh, in a nice way. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Jeri Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:52 PM So you were just robin me of my sanity on a lark? Owl I ever get over it?! Thanks for explaining. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: MartinRyan Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:37 PM ..or,as we say in Ireland - "Jays(us)...!" Regards |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: MartinRyan Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:35 PM Jeri It's just my magpie mind: Regards |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Jeri Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:18 PM Martin, if you're trying to drive me crazy, you're a few years too late.
I still don't get it. Just call me dense. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Jeri Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:02 PM C'mon Naemanson - quit with the riddles, already! ;-) Congratulations to Martin. I just realised I'd never even said it! Fine ballad by Dan - can't wait for the rest of it. Congratulations to Mudman #2. May you both be very happy! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: MartinRyan Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:00 PM Ruff, isn't it? Regards |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: MartinRyan Date: 25 Apr 01 - 07:59 PM Jeri Sorry to crow but one can be chuffed about choughs! Regards |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Naemanson Date: 25 Apr 01 - 07:43 PM Mudman #2 first posted on 2-Feb-01 at 12:46 PM and has since posted 648 more times. Can I make it any clearer? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: CarolC Date: 25 Apr 01 - 06:46 PM Ok. We can add one more Great job, hesperis! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: CarolC Date: 25 Apr 01 - 06:30 PM You got it, toots. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: hesperis Date: 25 Apr 01 - 06:02 PM Ok... I know who it is. Maybe. Carol, come online so I can confirm it!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Jeri Date: 25 Apr 01 - 05:45 PM I'd like to point out that I figured out it was Martin Ryan a while back...so there. Martin, I still don't get the "choughed" bit - didn't make any sense. I've heard "chuffed," but not "choughed." Maybe it's an Irish thang... (Unless it's pronounced like "showed," which is basically the same as the French "chaud," which means "hot," and you were confirming my guess...or maybe not.) So Naemanson, it's a guy named Woody who operates a crane at the Bath Iron Works? Guess I don't know him. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Naemanson Date: 25 Apr 01 - 05:11 PM Well, maybe I should have said it was one of those selected shorts played at the beginning of a movie. I noticed recently they have gone back to showing the selected shorts again. Only now they call them commercials. Yes, GNU spilled the beans. WooDY is the clue. Anyone want to take a shot at it? The funny thing is that today we had to write a contract for replacing a telephone pole because of damage by, you guessed it, a pileated woodpecker. S/He dug a lovely deep nest in the pole essentially hollowing out the poe and weakening it. The base sent someone out to fill the hole with rocks and we'll replace the pole this week. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: SINSULL Date: 25 Apr 01 - 04:47 PM Woody Woodpecker made a movie? Nevermind. Congratulations to Martin and Josephine. Be very happy! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: SINSULL Date: 25 Apr 01 - 04:41 PM Peter of the Woodchucks is already married...sure you want to pursue this. He's a lawyer. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: gnu Date: 25 Apr 01 - 04:33 PM Oh, for the love of PETE! I rePETE! I splet New England incorrecktly. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: gnu Date: 25 Apr 01 - 04:30 PM In case that was too vague, not England, New Enland. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: gnu Date: 25 Apr 01 - 04:22 PM I see in the Coping With Women thread that the key to a good marriage is to shower every day. Woodpeckers don't shower. They take a bath.... BATH. Yup, them WOODPECKERS must have IRON heads for all those WORKS they do way up there in their crows nests with the CRANES in BATH.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: hesperis Date: 25 Apr 01 - 10:08 AM Okayyyyy..... I know who the catroon character is... but I don't have time to dig through the thread for more than that. Arrgh! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Naemanson Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:29 AM Congratulations Martin! I wish the best for you and your bride to be. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 25 Apr 01 - 04:06 AM Thank you, Joe! I tried to speed up the recognition process with GUEST-(JEST)-GUESSED. And, not to crow over it, but "choughed" seems to have been wasted also! Regards p.s. Yes, she says yes - Liam's brother need have no fear. I know he's on this side of the Atlantic around that time, so he may well turn up looking for confirmation (sorry.. wrong...)

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Joe Offer Date: 24 Apr 01 - 11:38 PM Very nicely done, Dan. I got a good chuckle out of this one. Congratulations, Martin! All the best to you and your bride. So, does this constitute announcing the banns of marriage? You put one addtional verse in the church bulletin each Sunday. When the congregation guesses who the bride and groom are, then they can get married... -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Apr 01 - 11:31 PM Thank you Dan..........Cletus and the boys have already left and are looking for you, but they have no idea which coast is the east so I wouldn't worry much and if they show up, send them home and tell them the Turkey Turd Beer is on the house over at the Tavern. And when its a done deal, I'll say congrats! Spaw |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: CarolC Date: 24 Apr 01 - 11:27 PM Hasn't he asked her yet? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Liam's Brother Date: 24 Apr 01 - 11:16 PM Mr. Martin "South Roscommon" Ryan will marry his Josephine (if she'll have him) in Athlone on the 15th of June. Do I hear a bring round of applause out there? By the way, I'll finish the ballad once I know it's a done deal.
All the best, |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: Jeri Date: 24 Apr 01 - 09:26 PM Well, that tears it. I can think of the cartoon - what it looked like and general theme (thanks to gnu) (I think) - but I can't think of the guy's name. I'm afraid I'll have to give up for the night. Will try again tomorrow, if somebody doesn't kill you first. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Man's Marriage? From: CarolC Date: 24 Apr 01 - 09:25 PM If you take one of the words I've used in this thread (and add one syllable), and put it together with a word from the title of one of the currently active threads, you get the name of the cartoon character. |
