Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Áine Date: 23 Dec 99 - 08:05 PM I swear, you actors!! Can't even read a synopsis of a script and get it right! I said, 'she THINKS he's just another eunuch' not 'he IS' a eunuch!! That's the subplot, ya Big Mick ya! Your character is supposed to seduce the lovely *innocent* concubine into loving him before the nasty king gets his grubby hands on her. Now -- run with it ya method actors . . . Geez, the camel can emote more than the lot of youse!! -- Áine |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: alison Date: 23 Dec 99 - 07:45 PM Hahaha.... Big Mick quiet? and a eunuch? ....... er..... I take it this is a comedy movie..... I am getting some serious flashbacks to "Carry on - follow that camel"..... Are you travelling alone? hahaha |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Little Neophyte Date: 23 Dec 99 - 05:12 PM Charles, the Nunnery said they would not take me. All I could find was a summer grooming camp run by the Canadian Jewish Princess Association. Should I go? I'm not running away from you. I just think it may be wise for me to attend a school like Sabrina did and become a lady. BB |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Big Mick Date: 23 Dec 99 - 05:00 PM Jazus, and I was really gettin to like you, Aíne.........I really am an Irish guy, hence, the eunuch thing just won't do........but I guess me being the quiet one in the corner is your idea of typecasting??????????? About the only thing you got right is the big guy part............awrighteee then, let's get down to serious script work here.........someone get me a white horse................... |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 23 Dec 99 - 03:12 PM Meanwhile, back on the sound stage, Seed is arguing with screenwriters Leej and Neil (not Neal) over just where the fockin' road is supposed to go--seed wants to change it from "...to Toronto," his choice of roadie having entered a nunnery to escape him. Spaw had something to complain about, as well, but is too busy picking the fleas of a thousand camels from his beard and feeding them to Cleigh, who--unfortunately lacking either teeth or a gastrointestinal system--is passing them still living, and they, of course, make a bee-line (or rather a flea-hop) back to Spaw, choosing his armpits on second go around. --seed |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Áine Date: 23 Dec 99 - 03:10 PM I think the camel ate my post! Oh -- I see 'Spaw and 'Seed are playing with the bricks again...that explains it! OK, Big Mick and alison -- I've just got the revised script here and there are a couple of parts in the film I think that you two are perfect for! Mick, you can be the big, silent fella that hovers in the corner of the harem, eyeing the beautiful and wistful new concubine (that's you, alison), who doesn't pay the big fella any mind, because she thinks he just another eunich . . . Great subplot, eh? So, go on, tell me what you think (runnin' for the henhouse to hide out) . . . -- Áine |

Were it possible, I'd pay handsomly for it. And you know why you maggot infested cowardly piece of camel shit... Sorry for the outburst, its really unlike me.

Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 22 Dec 99 - 01:34 PM Yeah, but Spaw: where was the water for Gargoyle? The camel had sucked it all up? By the way, it wasn't completely painless. My gut is aching from laughing so hard, and I think i broke a couple of metacarpals pounding on the floor. --seed |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Little Neophyte Date: 22 Dec 99 - 01:31 PM Bonnie drops the knitting needles & yarn, and falls off the bend rolling in laughter. Very Funny Catspaw |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Dec 99 - 01:25 PM Now don't be rude Seed......maybe there's a part for him in the movie........say the maybe the guy who takes care of the camels..................
SEED: What are you doing Garg? (Gargoyle takes a brick in each hand and with a wide swing of both arms, smashes the camel's balls between the two bricks. The camel sucks up a trough of water in 2 seconds with a loud whooshing/sucking sound)
SEED: Holy Shit!!!!!!!! SPAW: (Holding his own nuts and wincing in empathy)GEEZIZ KEERICED!!!

In my opinion, you are just like people who don't vote ... you refuse to stand up and be counted, therefore, you have no credibility. And for those who want to stand on the bandwagon and write long, laborious posts about the issue of voting/not voting, save your breath. I said it was my opinion ... moonchild |

Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Larry B. Date: 22 Dec 99 - 08:02 AM We all play our parts, and the lucky ones are comfortable in their roles. Some play first fiddle, others push wind through the pipes, and I stand by the door (having arrived late) and clap. Difference of opinion is necessary to discussion, and when opinions are strongly held, discussions will get heated. This semi-anonymous forum tends to produce a little more vitriol, but that is the nature of the beast. It also allows those of us who are so inclined to choose our words carefully. With all its sham, silliness, and poor spelling, it is still a beautiful Mudcat. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. P.S. Odd posting times does not necessarily indicate multiple posters in different parts of the world; it could mean someone has a varying schedule (like me). HAPPY HOLIDAYS!Larry B. |

Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Big Mick Date: 22 Dec 99 - 02:37 AM HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.............LOL..........RFLMAO...................Awright, shit, I can't argue with such sterling logic, Charles. But see if you can find the right spot for herself and I in your production, willya?????? Guess I had better check with THE FAIR ONE on this too, eh? Sides that, you are a better lookin' fella, anyways. I only said that cuz I don't want that f@%$^ing gorilla FADAC on me arse.......... Mick |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 22 Dec 99 - 01:48 AM Actually, Mick, this afternoon I was thinking about recruiting you to play Jaws (but then we'd have to photograph yer tiny self standin' on a stool, wouldn't we?). --seed |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 22 Dec 99 - 01:44 AM C'mon, Mick, ain't it enough that you're one of my heroes (I didn't list them here--but I started back in the Mudcat religion thread)? I don't have to fight you for the role, do I? (I'm probably the one Mudder taller than you (6'6"), and if I need a bit of heft to take you on, I'll go get FADAC, if I can find him (anyone seen FADAC lately)? Besides, you've got the fair one (I know it doesn't look right without the HTML magic)--or are you gonna stand still while I recruit her as one of the roadies? --seed |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Big Mick Date: 22 Dec 99 - 01:37 AM Just a damn minute here. What the hell do you mean, Seed gets the loverboy part!!!!!!! I get those friggin roles.............payoff for having to wear the thong and spud........UHHHHH, Spaw, the camel is yours....but it is a cute camel....... |

Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Áine Date: 21 Dec 99 - 07:43 PM That's a GREAT Road song there, Alice! May I please put it on the Mudcat Songbook? And 'Spaw -- what's this with the camel? It's the cutest one we could find -- aaaahhhhh, lookee there, she just spit a big loogey on ya. You know, in camel talk, that means she REALLY likes you! -- Áine |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: catspaw49 Date: 21 Dec 99 - 07:38 PM You certainly have a way with words Seed. As someone who has trouble writing two meaningful sentences on "My Day at the Zoo"....I salute you. Now let's get down to brass tacks and the serious business of gettin' nekkid with Alice in the movie. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 21 Dec 99 - 07:19 PM Spaw, is it my coinages that are givin' you so much trouble? antedecession is "before death," and postreincarnation, even you can figure that one out--if you have trouble, ask Banjer; benighted is in the dictionary, but means "unfortunate, living in darkness," deknighted is a coinage, created both because of the rhyme and to describe a time without heroes, i.e., the time post Morte d'Arthur but pre-reincarnation, in other words, the time we live in--actually, I'm using the phrase "without heroes" in an Arthurian sense; I don't think we are without heroes--the more time I live and the more time I meet people here, the more heroes I find, real honest-to-god ones. Crap. Now I'm gettin' all teared up... --seed |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: catspaw49 Date: 21 Dec 99 - 07:11 PM You have the part Alice. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! What a job!!! Did you write it in the shower? Is RiB still in there? Just checking......In any case, ya done good!!! Spaw - I'd kiss you but the camel just slobbered all over me. |

Off on the road to Mudrock-o
We're off on the road to Mudrock-o
Off on the road to Mudrock-o

Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: catspaw49 Date: 21 Dec 99 - 06:15 PM Nice try Ace, but it still is beautiful but meaningless to the dolt in me....actually the dolt is the majority shareholder. And Aine...Just because I take a few days off and Seed goes batcrap with the mistletoe, I end up kissing a friggin camel? Okay...I see your point, what with the possum's ass breath and all......... Now for the female lead.......The Moonchild is an obvious choice, but a casting call IS in order for some others. I mean, there is a nude scene and all so I.............say what?.......no nude scene huh?........This idea is going downhill............ Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Rick Fielding Date: 21 Dec 99 - 05:53 PM Big Mistake! Heather (AKA Duckboots) informs me that I am NEVER to use that term again (even in jest), so I won't. By the way Moonchild, how's yer guitar case hunt goin'? Rick |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Rick Fielding Date: 21 Dec 99 - 05:46 PM I'll translate for you Catspaw. I think Seed feels I shouldn't have wasted banjo rolls on you in "Catspaw's Rag", and ya know what? He's probably right. After all, you WERE sick, and the alternate title could've been Catspaw Memorial Rag. But your well again now (well, physically anyway) so perhaps I sould re-title it for the next pressing. Hmmmmmm, how 'bout "Millenium Rag"? Might make a buck or two off it then. Oh wait a minute! "Mudcat Ramble" sounds good, and then I can get some airplay from Max. OH, OH, Batten down the hatches! Ducksass just looked over my shoulder and reminded me that before I wrote the 2nd part of it, she had suggested "Arncliffe Road" as a title. I think that's some little two wheel dirt path running through the town of Keithly Eng. where she spent a couple of years being laughed at for her Scottish accent. Course when she moved back to Glasgow, the kids laughed at her English accent. Oops, serious thread creep (which I've tried to avoid for quite a while). Now what WAS this thread about? Oh, who cares! Happy Holidays all. Rick |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: bbelle Date: 21 Dec 99 - 05:32 PM I volunteer to be the sexy, shapely girl on the road. I'm definitely sexy and shapely and I can even sing a note of two. Of course, shapely is only relative to age and prosperous girth and how grizzled one's partners are. But I can support a "mean" sarong and if all else fails (supporting the sarong, I mean) I can just hold my guitar in front of me ... moonchild ... who is basking in good cheer, the promise of peaceful prosperity, and bs. |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Áine Date: 21 Dec 99 - 01:10 PM Do y'all wanna know what MY theory is? Do ya?? MY theory is that 'Spaw and 'Seed should get their act together and take it On The Road! I can't think of any better replacements for Crosby & Hope than you two! Can you both dance? And which one of you gets the girl in the end of movie? Well, I see we'll have to audition you two for that -- OK, one at a time -- give us your best 'ba-ba-ba-boo'. Yep, that's what I thought -- 'Seed, the 'loverboy' part is yours. 'Spaw -- that means you get to kiss the camel. Now, now, I don't want to hear any gripeing about 'typecasting', either! Let's see -- which one of us 'Mudkittens' gets the sexy, shapely Girl on the Road part? Well, I think I'll leave that one between you two boys to settle -- and watch the fur fly! Luv ya both lots, Áine (P.S. -- Which one of you are going to write the 'Road' song? Whenever you get it done, send it in to The Mudcat Songbook, OK?) |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: catspaw49 Date: 21 Dec 99 - 12:56 PM Geeziz Seed.....That was beautifully written! The fact that I have no idea what you said does not in the least deter me from expressing my admiration. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 21 Dec 99 - 12:50 PM But who's the king now, Fielding? Hay-soos! You're a subject of the empire but you don't know that that description of Arthur places him in the past (antedecession) and future (postreincarnation) but not in that gloomy, benighted (deknighted) period in between. Now he's just dead, and I sincerely hope and believe that Max the Great, the past, present, and future king, is currently yet gracing the planet. Gawd, why'd I get so tensed-up over the musings of someone with nothing better to do with his glorious talent than write paeans (however catchy) to a possum-ass-kisser? --seed |
Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Rick Fielding Date: 21 Dec 99 - 01:37 AM Yup McGrath, that "blank" mudcatter has rung up quite a score in the year that I've been here. One of the interesting things about a transitory community like Mudcat is that people or issues that flourished 6 months ago are just not a factor in the postings of someone who came on board 2 months ago. One really good aspect of that is it tends to lessen the influence of small groups of people. 'Course Max remains as the "Once and Future King"! Rick |

Subject: RE: BS: My theory From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Dec 99 - 04:02 PM I am not against _gargoyle, or any one else in the Forum. I am, however, against mean-spiritedness for it's own sake,whether cloaked in the guise of humor or launched as a naked attack. People who consistently behave in that manner tend to be ostracized by the members of any peer-group, and the occasional civil statement that comes from them tends to be ignored or doubted. It seems to me that tolerance for others with whom you may disagree coupled with a modicum of human sensitivity should be a way of behaving that we all can live by in the Forum as in life. Those who repeatedly violate this rule tend to GET what they Give. |
