Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: John in Brisbane Date: 20 Jan 99 - 09:10 PM OK, so curiosity finally got the better of me, and I went and looked at all those great photographs. WOW, there are some great human bein's out there in Mudcat land. I note however that the lack of a Joe Offer photo must cause some further suspicion that he is some type of cyber creation.
For my part, I'm 6 feet tall, about 200 lbs and once had auburn hair. Most of the hair is still there but it's closer to brown these days with nature's condiments sprinkled throughout. My full beard is reminiscent of Art's pictures, but thankfully for him that's where the similarity ends. Shorts and a polo shirt are my favoured dress, and water is my favourite drink since I gave up the booze a couple of years ago. |

Jack the mostly folk guy. |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: MsMoon Date: 15 Jan 99 - 02:36 PM Truth is mandatory, in my book. I'm 5'6", a bit softer and rounder than I'd like, (but I've recently started running again, so wish me well) with long hair loosely up or free-flowing, as I please. The color of my hair is a tougher question; a long summer spent 100% outdoors made it very blond, but winter darkness is causing darker brown to show at the top. Almond-shaped green eyes, pleasant round face featuring one left-side dimple when I smile. Most days I dress in jeans & v-neck sweaters or T-shirts, but I do have a weakness for fine garb and silly features like huge Dingo boots and strange hats. |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: Alice Date: 15 Jan 99 - 01:23 PM Although I didn't add this to 'what Mudcatters do', I, like Wolfgang, spend a great amount of time reading and surfing the net on the trail of pseudoscience, fraud, cults, quackery, and superstition. I have a webpage on fraud and cults that is linked to CSICOP and other sources of information on the subject. |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: Bill D Date: 15 Jan 99 - 12:41 PM Wolfgang...Alta Vista's translation service does at least allow people to get some idea of what in on a page in another language, but it will be a long time before it can deal with the subtle aspects...I am embasassed that so few Americans really learn another language as well as You and Skarpi and Takeo etc. have learned English...my 2 years of college German have really faded... |
|
Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: Wolfgang Date: 15 Jan 99 - 03:54 AM Bill D, it took me a while to understand about the translation program. Thanks for that hint. Joe could surely make a much better translation, at least he wouldn't try to tranlate my last name and the name of my home town. Wolf-gait (or Wolf-corridor or...?) |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: Wolfgang Date: 15 Jan 99 - 03:27 AM Joe, actually there's nothing much to add to what Andreas has written. The respective American acronym is CSICOP (Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal) sometimes misnamed Psi-Cop by their opponents. Reading sceptical literature on such claims is my second way of spending the free time if I do not visit MUDCAT (now, if that was an acronym, what would it stand for? Musik Und Dichtung, Charakteristischerweise aus Alten Texten) Wolfgang |
|
Subject: RE: German Acronyms From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Jan 99 - 03:06 AM Looks like I drove an LKW (German truck) into a KKW (German atomic power plant) with that one, Andreas. ....or did I??? Well, I have to admit that we Americans have our share - especially the military. I spent a good part of this week on Air Force bases, drowning in acronyms. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: MudGuard Date: 15 Jan 99 - 02:31 AM Hi Joe, Parawissenschaften = all those stuff some people see as science, but is no science, like parapsychology, astrology, ... GWUP = Gesellschaft zur wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung von Parawissenschaften = Society for scientific research of para-sciences (roughly translated) And in defendance of the German language: American acronyms are at least as awful as German acronyms!!! Andreas (Defender of the German language) |

I put Bruce O & Dick G right below me on page one page one and Several others on page two I know several of these pics are large..*sigh*...learning this on the fly....but it is a start! |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: Herr Doktor DoktorJoe Offer Date: 14 Jan 99 - 03:09 PM Hey, that translation site does a fairly good job, although I'd like to think I could do a better one. But Wolfgang, what's "Parawissenschaften"? Is that what we call "parapsychology"? Oh, and I'll bet you'll never find a translator, human or machine, that can handle those awful German acronymns. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: rick fielding Date: 14 Jan 99 - 02:47 PM Well, so Sandy Paton thinks I was kidding him about his early "image". Hardly. As anyone who has met the man knows, in his youth he resembled a Greek God. (and one of the good ones, I might add) Today however he looks like a folksinger, which is as it should be.
As to my own appearance, well the full head of hair that Sandy refers to is courtesy of "The Hair Club for Men". I've tried to reply to Steve Latimer about my radio show, in the significant folkie thread, but the gremlins won't allow me to send it. So Steve, maybe you can find it here. "Acoustic Workshop" is on Monday nights (for 10 years) at 9-10pm. CIUT. 89.5 fm. here in Toronto. |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: Big Mick Date: 14 Jan 99 - 11:41 AM I hesitate to admit this, knowing this fine bunch of folks I hang out with, but I tried it shortly after you posted it and we had a little fun at your expense. The facts are that it works pretty well. I sing in the shower anyway, so mights well pur the time to use. All the best, Mick Lane |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: AliceAlice Date: 14 Jan 99 - 10:57 AM Well, if I get a great picture taken I'll post the link. Funny you should mention the shower, Joe, because the second photo was taken when I was experimenting with my digital camera... I took the photo in the bathroom mirror, and the shower is right behind me.... The lyrics taped to the shower wall right now are Auld Lang Syne, 5 verses and the chorus, to be sung to the original tune at the end of the Burns performance I will be doing later this month. Has anyone taken my suggestion and taped lyrics to the shower wall? Thermal fax paper stands the test of moisture. |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: McMusicMcMusic Date: 13 Jan 99 - 11:12 PM When I was younger and my hair was lon, I looked a little like George Harrison (Abby Road version). Now I'm a little like a relic lost in space. 5 feet 9 (and a half) about 190 lbs. and dropping; thick red-brown hair with a few gray invaders snaking their way in; a moustache grayer still. Execpt for the standard male-pattern thing on the forehead, I still have a full head of hair, as well as a complete set of teeth. Can usually be spotted wearing glasses and a perplexed look. |

There is a good site on Australian Folk Music and it includes a page of my photos of the local folk scene - currently and back in the 1970s) ... it even includes a view of me at a recent National Folk Festival - at the head of "The Bolton Files": http://folk.mountaintracks.com.au/Folk_Australia/contents.html.

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: Don Meixner Date: 12 Jan 99 - 11:39 PM Lets see, I am 48, 5'11" 235lbs. I too have a penchant for jeans, flannel, and sweetshirts. I have worn a beard since 1970 and am folically challenged. What folicals I have are a mix of Auburn, brown, and gray. A recent convert to bi-focals, which are no damn good when it comes to the hammered dulcimer. I usually have to buy shirts 2xl because they are the ones that fit my shoulders and are baggy everywhere else. I don't care if my sox match as long as they are warm and clean. Young women at work say I look like their uncle and older women say I look comfortable. I wonder if thats good? |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 12 Jan 99 - 10:39 PM Well, I look forward to Bill D's photos. I think he caught me trying out some slide guitar licks in a workshop. I am 5' 9" and 330 lbs. (Should I be Big Roger?). I sport a moustache and goatee. I wear glasses. They've been tri-focals for a few years (couldn't read the CD packages anymore, arms too short). The glasses, beard and moustache serve to hide my gloriously round face so I am not mistaken for a full moon (forget the wisecrack, Art). Brown hair, just to the ears. I've gotten a little gray on the sides and my beard is more salt than pepper. Hazel eyes. I smile a good deal and thanks to my dentist it looks like I have all of my teeth. I have been blessed with a long body and with short arms and legs (inseam 27). This causes me to hold my guitar close to my neck so I can get my arms around to the strings (reminiscent of early New Lost City Ramblers). The grayer I get, the more I remind people of Burl Ives. My clothing of choice runs to T-shirts, jeans, and athletic shoes. I am old enough to refer to them as dungarees and sneakers. Roger in Baltimore |

Steve |

Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt) From: Frank in the swamps Date: 12 Jan 99 - 06:01 AM Seven & half foot long, seven inches between the eyes. My youthful yellow banding long ago gave way to a deep charcoal, but my belly skin is still white. Have most of the ridges on my back & tail, though they're a bit worn from scrapes with all the old bulls. My tongue & throat are a delightfully ghastly death white, teeth are yellow, except for the one that's missing thanks to a waterskier who wouldn't let go the damn rope! Frank i.t.s. |
