Mrs. Duck:

You can KEEP Micca!

Seriously, it's always nice to put faces and voices to MudCatters, even if the face is attached to a sawed off tiny runt.

(Yea, Micca, I know: AND THE HORSE!)

SKARPI I'm sorry not to see you this year, but I hope you can make it next year.

MRS. DUCK Well, there's not accounting for taste. But I promise to send him out from Maryland in the original condition(?), best I can do.

KT You and Ebbie were missed and we toasted at 10:00 to you and others absent and gone. Of course the comment was made that some who were in the room were Absent, but that's another matter. Hope to see you next year.

Mille grazi to Chance & Suzette for hosting this shindig!

A splendid time was had (and probably still being had) by all. I left so I could get some sleep. I have a feeling I won't be getting to much over the next few days. Plus I have to socialize with the cats, as I'm going to be leaving them to their own devices for a few days.
Anywho, I snapped a few pix, they are posted here

Seeya at the Getaway!

Right now you all are hopefully in the thick of it & having a hell of a time, save some of it for us who are green with envy & couldn't get there early enough to join you. Wishing you all a splendid night, see you this time tomorrow, I hope the green wears off by then.

Do they still make Sparkling Pink Champale?

I still recall Liner notes to an Otis Spann LP where Don DeMichael described a Chicago club and Muddy Waters' "personal table where the Champale flowed like wine".

BB, Kriek, Belgian Cherry beer is very good as is the Framboise( the raspberry version), both are a bit STRONG tho' but both are distinctly red-pink coloured.

We beg your pardon!

Not "Horse's Asses" Micca. We were "The Poor Horsemen Of The Apochryphal". The horses' asses and shakable tail feathers had to be kindly supplied to us from elsewhere! (Nag's Butt, North carolina, maybe?)

The version dating from pre-inflation times, SINSULL? Time to "move Vaughn" or merely time to move on? It won't be the same without our "Cattle-ist For Change" displaying her unlimited range.

Chance, I should have said this earlier -- I'd love to come, but I'm flying into Dulles from California in the early evening, and my hotel is in Leesburg (carefully selected so that I could cross the Potomac into MD without going anywhere near DC). After flying all day, I's afraid I won't have the energy to drive to Silver Springs and then back to Leesburg. Alas! Raise a glass for me.

Bruce o'Beard, banjos are indeed welcome at The Shivers, as long as they are house broken. As for the left-handed part, we are equal opportunity banjoists ("There'll be no distinction there").

Perhaps Lucas make toasters as well.

(I know they make refrigerators, which is why the English drink their beer warm...)

I used to drive a Triumph 2000 and then a Saab 99, both of which had Lucas electrics, so I do have a right to comment...

HEY Micca......One of my favorite weirdos has just the song to help you remember the recipe!


    Yeah Toast
Heywood Banks

All around the country and coast to coast
People always say what do you like most?
I don't wanna brag I don't wanna boast
so I just tell em I like toast

[Chorus]
YEAH TOAST!!
YEAH TOAST!!

I get up in the morning about 6 AM
had a little jelly had a little jam
take a piece of bread put it in the slot
push down the lever and the wires get hot

[Chorus]
YEAH TOAST!!
YEAH TOAST!!

Now there's no secret to toasting perfection
there's a dial on the side and you make your selection
push to the dark or the light and then
if it pops too soon press down again make toast

[Chorus]
YEAH TOAST!!
UH TOAST!!

When the first caveman drove in from the drags
didn't know what would go with the bacon and the eggs
musta bin a genius got it in his head
plug the toaster in the wall buy a bag of bread make toast

[Chorus]
YEAH TOAST!!
UH OHH!

OuI monsuier bonjour coquette
on hon croisoiant on vous a vere
morishe vour Eifel Towere
ouI marie baguette bon soir

[Chorus]
FRENCH TOAST!!
FRENCH TOAST!!
