Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Amergin Date: 07 Mar 01 - 11:00 PM Ok, so you put the raisins in the wheelbarrows.... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: catspaw49 Date: 07 Mar 01 - 10:35 PM where???.......geeziz......make that "wear".........like I said, 36 IQ. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: catspaw49 Date: 07 Mar 01 - 10:34 PM No 'Gin boy, the barrows were for the genitalia.......The peanuts are carried in 50 pound packs we where on our backs. They serve as anti-rejection drugs for the elephant schlongs. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Amergin Date: 07 Mar 01 - 10:28 PM I didn't know that wheelbarrow's were required to carry peanuts.... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: catspaw49 Date: 07 Mar 01 - 10:18 PM Had to say it didn't you Bugsy? Well that's it then.......... Yes, its true. Bugs and I are really sisters, separated at birth, literally as we were cojoined at the groin. After being sent from our birthplace in Greenland to the opposite sides of the planet, we met as adults in a sex change clinic in Helsinki. Even then, we didn't realize the relationship until the doctors ran genetic testing to see if we were candidates for a new surgery involving the use of an elephant's three piece set as a replacement. No one had qualified for this before and when the two of us both were candidates at the same time, the genetics folks investigated and found we were identical down to our 36 IQ's. Sadly, we had only a few minutes together at the airport and the wheelbarrows used for carrying our newly acquired equipment prevented any hugs or actual contact. We both look forward to the day when we can get together again and share a prayer for Mumbasa and Khalil, the two elephants that gave there all and brought us together. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Skeptic Date: 07 Mar 01 - 09:29 PM I offer my apolgies if anyone was offended. When it started we figured it would run maybe a week and then a bunch of 'catters would cry j'accuse and we'd confess. On the other hand, we are both serious about our respective opinions. (Unless followed by a smiley face). I'd like to able to say that he's the odd man out in the family politically (being conservative and republican) but alas, with the exception of one cousin (the sole liberal in our home county), I'm the one who's out of step. At least politically. Troll, on the other hand is just out of step. Does this mean the duel is over? Troll, And I'm glad you're my big brother and friend too. Couldn't wish for a better one. And I am not normal Even our mother'll agree with that. Neil, So who was the bet with? Troll and I usually get 25%. Please have the winner get in touch. Regards The real John (which is yet another story) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: CarolC Date: 07 Mar 01 - 09:18 PM So troll, does this mean no more repartee? It was one of my favorite things about the two of you. (Aside from the grapes, of course.) Carol |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Bugsy Date: 07 Mar 01 - 09:09 PM Looks like the game's up Spaw. Will you confess the awful truth about us being long seperated sisters, or will I?
Cheers Bugsy. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Troll Date: 07 Mar 01 - 09:05 PM Thank you one and all. The games have been fun and I(at least) apologize if any of you were made to fel uncomfortable by our reparte. This started years ago whenever the two of us would get together. We had to softpedal it around Dad though. He would only put up with just so much. We only get going when there is a audience. When we are alone together we are perfectly normal people. Or as normal as it gets in our family. I don't know how HE feels about it, but I'm proud to have him for a brother and a friend. Now if he only had a sense of rhythm. troll |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Irish sergeant Date: 07 Mar 01 - 07:48 PM Damn it I lost the pool! I bet you were the same person! LOL Kindest Reguards, Neil |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: GUEST,red faced Date: 07 Mar 01 - 07:41 PM Well I AM surprised! I would have bet the bank account, the mortgage, and the whole National debt (oops, surplus) that our friend the skeptic was of the female persuasion, and a veteran Mudcatter at that. Just goes to show, doesn't it? or does it? red, or at least pink, faced |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Skeptic Date: 07 Mar 01 - 04:45 PM CarolC Music is Troll's department. One of the (few) true things he's said about me is that I have little musical ability. He makes up for it, however. And with him playing, It gives us more quality time :-) Regards John

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Mar 01 - 04:43 PM LH, You must mean [~Kidding Two]. ~Kidding One |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Mar 01 - 04:39 PM Everbody scatters and dives for cover.... ~Kidding also Amergin - I thought he was for a long time too, but they just don't make women that consarned ugly. At least, I hope not. God help us... - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Mar 01 - 04:30 PM Bullshite!?? You talkin' a me? You talkin' a ME?? ~Kidding |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Mar 01 - 04:19 PM "Shite"? Oh, please, not that again! Would John Wayne say "shite"? Would MAV? It's just not right, so don't say shite! Keep America American, I say! Where's Ronald Ray-gun when we need him? This has been a virtual communique from Orillia. - LH p.s. I believe you're brothers. Most amusing, indeed! You oughta both get honorary Orillian citizenship, and your own personal McGill porta-potties too. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Amergin Date: 07 Mar 01 - 04:15 PM LH, I always thought Spaw was a woman.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: CarolC Date: 07 Mar 01 - 04:05 PM Hmmm.... witty repartee, round the clock grape peeling, two or nine worshipful admirers, peeled pomegranates, oranges, and kiwi... Sounds good so far. What about music? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: katlaughing Date: 07 Mar 01 - 03:49 PM Bullshite! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Mar 01 - 01:47 PM I have to admit this is remarkably NOT trust-provoking. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Skeptic Date: 07 Mar 01 - 01:36 PM Little Hawk, Or maybe "Troll" and "Skeptic" are both virtual personalities. All part of an elaborate practical joke. But by who? Who on mudcat could do such a thing? Come on, the clues are all there. Troll has eight personalities, Skeptic is another. Total of nine. Cats have nine lives....... Or maybe not. :-) McGrath, Thanks for your kind wishes. At least someone understands the heavy burden I have to carry. Regards John |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Ebbie Date: 07 Mar 01 - 01:15 PM Briefly, McGrath. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 07 Mar 01 - 01:12 PM Commiserations to the pair of you...Cain and Abel had a similar relationship I believe. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Ebbie Date: 07 Mar 01 - 12:59 PM Perception is everything... Months ago, the mean spiritedness that I thought came through disturbed me - I expected they were co-workers. Being a pushy broad, I wrote Troll, chiding him about the unattractiveness of it. He wrote back immediately with the truth. (Thanks, Troll!) The funny thing is that ever since then it has seemed more like banter to me- I don't know if they changed or if the whole thing was in my head. Ebbie |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Mar 01 - 12:58 PM Yeah, right. "Brothers". And Bob Dylan's my uncle. No, really... I suppose you will next claim that Lepus Rex is actually a human being, not a rabbit, and that Spaw is a woman... masquerading as...well...a dumbass male member for life of the NYCFTTS, to put it kindly. And that Matt R is actually older than Clinton Hammond. Or that he is Kendall's kid brother. I don't buy any of it. You don't fool me! - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Amergin Date: 07 Mar 01 - 12:39 PM Me, too, Jon...... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Jon Freeman Date: 07 Mar 01 - 12:27 PM Well, it's not as bad as I feared. There have been occasions where I wondered whether Troll and Skeptic were the SAME person. Jon |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Skeptic Date: 07 Mar 01 - 11:29 AM CarolC, We both will. And amuse you with witty repartee at the same time. That way you'll have round the clock grape peeling and two worshipful admirers. (Or nine if you count personalities). And we could expand. How do you feel about peeled pomegranates? Oranges? Kiwi? Troll, That isn't a nice thing to say about our mother and father. You should show some compassion as they had to put up with you for eight years longer than I've been around. And no, I don't think you can argue (successfully) that I made up for it in quality. Regards John, or maybe not. Maybe I am troll. Or troll me. Maybe this is really Chuck. Or some hacker and the real troll and skeptic haven't posted for months. Ah sweet mystery of life. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: CarolC Date: 07 Mar 01 - 10:34 AM (...anyway what I really want to know is, who's going to peel my grapes now... ?) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Mar 01 - 10:26 AM Yeah, I'm so upset I can't get this goofy grin offa my face. SHAME!!!! *G* I'm gonna write me a book-- The Cherleader at the Pissing Contest. Write me a whole buncha cheers appropri-ate to the occasion.
Boom Bah Siss! Like that. Since it appears to be my fate to play this role in addition to so many others. At least with this one I can have some FUN.

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Kim C Date: 07 Mar 01 - 10:05 AM sounds like too much work to keep logging off of and onto cookies just to keep up a ruse... unless he's got two computers... naaaaah, siblings have a certain sort of rapport that I don't think one person could adequately duplicate. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: CarolC Date: 07 Mar 01 - 10:01 AM I, for one, don't believe it. I think Skeptic is just another one of troll's "other" personalities... or maybe troll is one of Skeptic's other personalities (?). Carol (who's beginning to think Freddy looks pretty good compared to this lot) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: catspaw49 Date: 07 Mar 01 - 09:59 AM No kat....Clifton and Rob-O are too although they aren't afflicted with any form of dementia. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: katlaughing Date: 07 Mar 01 - 09:55 AM LOL!!! I love it and I knew you guys loved each other, even if you wouldn't admit it. I think this is the first brother/brother family combo we have at the Mudcat....whoo-hoo!! Thanks for letting us in on the secret, ya silly sods! kat |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Troll Date: 07 Mar 01 - 09:55 AM BOY! Were THEY ever wrong! troll |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Kim C Date: 07 Mar 01 - 09:54 AM Heeheehee! I guessed it! I guessed it! I knew before y'all did! :-P |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: Skeptic Date: 07 Mar 01 - 09:51 AM Susan, I've gone over this in another thread. Please let me restate: 1. Of course you're all here for my amusement, because 2. It really is all about me. and 3. We can't do it at family affairs (see below):-) Now that our secret is out, does it mean with have to stop? Troll, I don't know why I agreed to humor you, again. I told you we'd get in trouble. But would you listen? No. It'll be fun you said. Now look at what you've done. Upset the nice lady. I hope you're happy. I hope you can live with yet another example of inappropriate social behavior. This is a perfect example of why the family took out the restraining order against you. As to being the youngest, I figure Mom and Dad practiced on you. By the time I came along, they'd figured out what they'd done wrong and avoided the mistakes. Regards John

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Mar 01 - 08:54 AM Spaw, Naw, I were responding in like phraseology. He wants to call it an ear, he gets an earful. Now YOU on the other hand-- I know you're only interested in the real thing and would NEVER hide behind a euphemism like that! ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: catspaw49 Date: 07 Mar 01 - 08:47 AM Wrong orifice Susan........ Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dreadful Truth From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Mar 01 - 08:43 AM Troll, It's very funny because I adore you both. Just last week I was about to send you a PM asking you what the heck was gling ion, because if you were klidding that was one thing, but if you weren't I was going to smack you around a little. See, I have not been reading the tntire breadth of your cross-posting at one another, because 30 or 40 posts of Bushwacked was more than enough fo rME. So I thought, maybe I'm missing something here.... Then I thought, naw, don't bother Troll with this... or smack Troll around.... better just let it go... But eventually I would have asked you. I am now totally disgusted with the two of you, you bums. Sigh... You've been acting like ORILLIANS. And you know we really are not here to be an audience to a lengthy private joke played out on stage. Public jokes, sure, why not-- but this sort of prancing around-- I'm sure it goes over well at family events but that's because they know the relationship AND can see you grinning like the fools you are, and heck! That CAN be entertaining! But I adore you both as madly as ever. Stick THAT in YOUR ear! ~Susan |

Subject: The Dreadful Truth From: Troll Date: 07 Mar 01 - 08:28 AM The time has come to confess the nasty little secret that I have been concealing from most of you for some months. When the whole thing started, it was just a lark, a bit of fun. But it's gone too far and the truth MUST be revealed. Skeptic and troll- far from being just long-time acquaintences- and BROTHERS! Thats right, children of the same mother and father. Siblings. I, troll, am the elder by some 8 years so I suppose it could be said that I am at least partially to blame for his continued presence on this plane of existance. I COULD have done something when he was a baby but who knew? He was such a cute little tyke. Ah well. Actually, I'm rather proud of him and we've had a lot of fun with the on-line sniping at each other. So there you are. The truth is out and I feel better for having confessed and I hpoe that you will all forgive me for my part in the web of deception. If not, stick it in yer ear. troll |
