To me Big Mick is a stranger,
But I see a gleam in his eye.
I dunno just who mighta put it there,
But I don't have to wonder why--

For Mick I'd give up bein' a Newbie,
I'd give up my soapbox as Praise!
Now that he's back at the Mudcat,
Gonna see us some real wild days.

I dunno if he likes jello,
I dunno the set of his sail.
I jes know when Mick's in the Mudhouse,
All the cats set up a wail-- So Mick, Big Mick, pleased to meetcha,
Have a praiseblues right here in your thread.
Take it while you kin git it--
Afore Hardiman gets outta bed!

Sweet Jazus, but I leave you kids to your own devices and look whats happened. I was just on the phone with Grandpaw Paton and he warned me to get over here and defend meself..............Bro Al/Northfolk, you know that I couldna abandon the step dancing if I wanted to........and my politics????????...........The only good republican is an Irish Republican, as me dear aul Gran always said.

Have no fear, Kat m'dear, I take my role as Keeper of the Sacred Fertility Rites VERRRRRY seriously, and crops should be excellent this year........and Meebs, I am not sure if I care for the tenor of your dialogue with the ole 'Spaw.

Came back to the Mudcat,

Ain't been back but a day,
Old friends all around me,
and music to play,
Got new friends to shine up to,
Life is so damn good
But face first on the velcro makes it hard to be understood

But I'm a Mudcat man, ba-aby
and happy to be back home with you
Where the women are so bad and bold,
And the men just don't know wha-at to do.

Woke up this morning,
Potatoes all round my bed.
Thong on the headboard,

Unh,I'm back and that shore is news

Say it ain't so...but rumor has it, Mick has abandoned step dancing, and has been learning the Tennessee two step, giving up the fiddle and bow...for a lucrative Nashville recording contract...quite likely the "A" side will be a Bluegrass version of ...you can call me Al...I already miss the bold fenian....

I hate to upset Miz Praise, but since you ask Meebo........

The only Fertility Rites that Meebo can access are stored in tanks labeled anhydrous ammonia....And even on that scorecard, he ain't Billie Sol Estes. The last time a girl suggested they play house, he was 6. Now I don't want to get into his exuberant characteristics which cause most women with an IQ above room temperature to run and hide, but the closest he ever got to a satisfying sexual experience was with his stereo. It wasn't pretty I'm told and the stereo has never been the same since. He had a great chance last week when a curvy blonde (not Leej) said "Show me what ya' got kid," and he took out his ELO collection.

Just pathetic. He was going to have "Hammond" tatooed on the side of his sexual organ, but using very tiny letters. Sadly all that would fit was "HA" which was good for a laugh, as is his sexual organ.

Should read" YOU people are NOT paying enough homage...your crops are NOT going to be fertile, magic wands or no, if you keep ahem this up!

Anagrams do not count for tithe, either! Oh, did I remember to say all who tithe to the Big Mick get to take part in the Community Fertility Rites of Spring? Ah ha! Thought that might get your attention!!!

It is a well-known fact that the Ancient Fertility Rites of Spring start in the warmer climes of North America, thus it is the Big Mick, Keeper of AFR of Spring was busy fulfilling his duties, serving up, as it were, in a bounteous way amongst the maidens fair, as well as various gawdesses/wisewimmin, thus ensuring a fertile and lucious crop of all manner of growing things, including the newly named hybrid potatus gargantus micelus. It said, this year, the yield of such will keep the entire world fed from a cultivated plot of only two acres!

So...be sure to make your pilgrimage to the Ancient Temples, offer your tithe and ensure your proper postition in the hierarchy of Fertile Abundance. Tithes in song, instruments (musical only), and other related materials will be accepted this year until further notice. All Hail Big Mick!

Kendall, I'm so ashamed!!! I can't speak for Dan of course, but I am simply reporting the FACTS here. I believe it is the duty of each one of us to report the truth as we know it.

For instance last week I reported that you were under suspicion for a series of bodega streakings in the South Bronx for which you've since been cleared. So there is some good news. At the same time I also noted that you were trying to cure your acute sinusitis by shitting size 13 Bass weejuns.....Anything new on that front?
