Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: GUEST,flattop Date: 04 Feb 00 - 08:07 AM I thought I gave you the facts Sorcha. A laughing Sorcha is not a kat/laureate. And I believe the word was gandoura or gandurah, Mbo. Amos, wearing his tie-died gandurah, wacked his VAX because it wouldn't let go of his bootstrap. D. |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Sorcha Date: 04 Feb 00 - 12:28 AM YES!!! This is the way to go, YEAH MUDCAAT! If you can't convince 'em with facts, then baffle 'em with BS. We need laughs!!!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Amos Date: 04 Feb 00 - 12:22 AM Thanks, JL!! I'll pass the torch on to you-all for the rest of the night (local) and sleep happy. Y'all keep that flame turned up, now. Love this bunch... A |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: fulurum Date: 04 Feb 00 - 12:15 AM maybe i'm just imagining things but it seems to me we took a potentially violent thread, and instead of responding in anger we used humor, and the original intent of this thread became a moot point. good job everyone. |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Lin in Kansas Date: 04 Feb 00 - 12:14 AM Oh, well done, everybody! Kill the troublemakers with laughter! I have been snorting iced tea through my nose since the first post--many thanks for a great lesson in how to deal with stupidity! JL (who has been convinced that Amos is Superman since reading his creations in the Song Challenge) LMAO! |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Hagbardr Date: 04 Feb 00 - 12:14 AM I'll answer to almost anything... Eric, Hagbard, Halfwit, Haggis, Haggy, Shmeghead, or Hey! Stupid! Hagbard |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: katlaughing Date: 04 Feb 00 - 12:08 AM Ah, sure Sorcha, that's right. Thank you for the promotion! It's WyoWoman who is the Supreme Editor, though, I just write the op/ed pieces. She writes damn fine ones & edits the paper to boot! katlaughingfersure |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Amos Date: 04 Feb 00 - 12:05 AM The thing with slimeballs is either to cut 'em dead with silence, or hit them square between the eyes bam. But, to do that, as with a mule, ya have to get his attention first. |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Sorcha Date: 04 Feb 00 - 12:01 AM Actually, I will answer to ALMOST anything, Sorcha, Mary,Mom, Hey you, Estes Park Pipe Band, etc. After almost 50 yrs on the Planet, I do know a little bit about who I am. Not everything, and it is consantly changing. If "IT" wants my e-mail, IT is welcome to it; at least then I could Reply to Sender and get IT'S real address! |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: fulurum Date: 03 Feb 00 - 11:56 PM ok. this is what will do. everybody write your name on piece of paper. then we will pass a hat and you put your when we have everybodys slips of paper, we'll pass the hat one more time with everyone taking out a slip of paper. whatever name you draw, thats who you have to be forever. can't be much simpler than that. |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Cara Date: 03 Feb 00 - 11:54 PM I have identity crises all the time. I don't know who I am...but I'm glad that I'm secure enough to go by the same name all the time. Or at least most of the time. Ya know, if there were a bunch of people I didn't like at all who were always together in one predictable place, I wouldn't go there anymore. But that's just me--I've always been so crazy they call me SANE! But, as stated earlier, I only answer to Cara. Love, CARA |

Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Mbo Date: 03 Feb 00 - 11:33 PM Gandalf...Gandalf...yes, that was the name. Mithrandir I am in the west, Gandalf among men, Tharkun among dwarves, and Icanus in the south. To the east, I go not. Olorin I was in the West that is no more....and Mbo on Mudcat. --Mbo |

Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Sorcha Date: 03 Feb 00 - 09:48 PM Just dropped in to say HI, this is SORCHA, who answers to SORCHA who is not kat/katlaughing. She would prob'ly like to trade places with me, as she is an op/ed editor and I am just a housewife/mom. This is the funniest, silliest idea I have heard in a year or more, made my day! I love being me, why should I want to be a kat? My daughter is a Caitlin (with fada on her birth cert.), and one in a family is ENUF!! Love ya! Sorcha, who is me and who answers to Sorcha |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: GUEST,flattop Date: 03 Feb 00 - 09:47 PM Althought the original premise of this thread lacked merit, I ran the last four messages from Sorcha and from the kat/ through an old version of rightwriter. The program points out clear differences in style. Sorcha's writing is more succinct, while kat's is more descriptive.

Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: Amos Date: 03 Feb 00 - 08:04 PM Well, something made the peckerhead deflate. He was being hit from two sides at once. Hard to say which experiment it was -- the coventry by thread creep artillery or the B57's dropping adjectives all over his addlepated brain. A |
Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: jeffp Date: 03 Feb 00 - 07:55 PM It may well be that rampant, uncontrolled thread creep is a better way to deal with the occasional a**hole that invades with rude threads. Perhaps if we play fiercely with everything they give us, they'll stop giving us toys. Sort of co-opting for good, rather than evil. Just a thought. |

Subject: RE: BS: Wake Up Call From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 03 Feb 00 - 05:54 PM I've found that if you set the text size on the browser down to "smallest" it's a lot quicker to read the threads, but it's still easy to read the individual posts - and best of all, it cuts that the Nowhere Man's posts down so small you can't read them at all.
Even so, though it's been quite an enjoyable thread so far (especially with the font turned down), I think it really would be better to ignore efforts by anonymous troublemakers to start threads like this, and let them rapidly sink out of site.
