Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Lonesome EJ Date: 13 Apr 01 - 01:29 PM Rocky Mountain Cabin Fever strikes one in four of those living in elevations above 6000 feet at this time of year. Brought on by being forced to shovel snow, having your car towed out of the ditch next to your driveway, and falling on your butt in the supermarket parking lot, RMCF has devastated many of my friends and neighbors. Until now, I've been hesitant to mention the fact that I, too, have been recently diagnosed with this dangerous condition. My physician has informed me that, unless I am relocated immediately to a warm, sunny clime and fed copious amounts of icy german beer, there is little hope for me. In that spirit, I am asking all of my Mudcat friends to contribute what you can to what I am calling the "Get LEJ to a Beach" fund. In return you will receive a picture of LEJ and a personal thank you. Please. Send your check or money order now. It costs so little. And it would make such a difference. |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: harpmolly Date: 12 Apr 01 - 07:58 PM I certainly hope no one is hoping to get lucky with Irene Ryan these days. As I recall, she dropped dead onstage (or in the wings, at least) during a performance of "Pippin", right after singing her solo "Just No Time At All,"...which, if memory serves, goes something like this: "Oh, it's time to keep livin', Time to keep taking from this world I'm given; Time to take time, for spring will turn to fall In just no time at all!" and a whole song full of other great, life-affirming verses. Quite a way to go. ;) I heard the story when we did Pippin at the U of O several years ago. (Well, I say "we"--*I* didn't actually make the cut. Hmph. :P ;)) Not totally off-topic...and Spaw, that's really great. Spontaneous generosity always takes me off guard...and I have some very generous friends! M |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: GUEST,Melani Date: 12 Apr 01 - 02:26 PM Spaw, I hate to think of you being unable to expand your video collection, so I am sending you Daniel's copy of "John Tesh--One World." I'm sure it will go well with the talking fish. |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Little Neophyte Date: 12 Apr 01 - 02:10 PM Catspaw, I figure people are so generous towards you because they are reflecting back what you so generously give. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: hesperis Date: 12 Apr 01 - 01:44 PM lol! rotflol!! lol! Hmmmm, I don't know if I have anything to send Spaw... maybe a menu for La Mezzaluna, so he can see that they use REAL COW BEEF for meat, not what he thinks they use... and then he might actually visit Orillia, and come on a McGill tour... and be crowned King Crap of McGill. That would be cool! Well, I wished for a Pagan Band to be in, because I want to collaborate with other musicians, to make music in the real world. We will see what happens. There might even be stuff happening already. Amazing what happens when you decide what you really want. ~*sirepseh*~ |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Sorcha Date: 11 Apr 01 - 08:37 PM I used to say "I never git nuttin'" but a couple weeks ago I found a brand new lawn mower in the middle of the alley behind the house. I moved it over beside the dumpster so people could drive down the alley and left it there until the day before dumpser Dump Day.
Didn't figure the City needed a new mower in the landfill, so I moved it inside the fence so someone could still claim it........nobody ever did. If it's hot, it has not been reported, so we have a brand new Craftsman 5.5 HP self propelled mulching mower.......... Besides that, I have all the wonderful friends and contacts I have made from Mudcat, all over the world....more or less free........think about that. Crash space from Munich, to Dublin, to Sydney......wow! I wouldn't ever hesitate to stay over at a Mudcatter's house...... |

Nothing worse than a Vegemite craving after you've scraped the last microscopic bits from inside the jar and there isn't another jar in the house. Mmmmm! Lovely Vegemite! Wouldn't you love some hot buttered toast smeared lovingly with Vegemite? The smell, the flavour, the satisfied feeling in the tummy! *BWG* Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: DougR Date: 11 Apr 01 - 08:05 PM Guest J.B.T, I sincerely hope you are not sleeping with John Beresford Tipton. I'm fairly certain he is dead. When you get to be Kendall's and my age, ladies like Irene Ryan don't look too bad. Of course she would probably be looing for someone younger. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: kendall Date: 11 Apr 01 - 07:39 PM Rick, I'm old enough to remember seeing a picture of Irene Ryan when she was a young actress. She was quite pretty in 1920 something. What ever happened to Donna Douglas? now, there was a real dish! |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: UB Ed Date: 11 Apr 01 - 03:47 PM Rick - Foggy memories on that one. All I remember is the FFFB's traveling around Mexico and boarding the "Dreaded Mecican Bus." The local population would flee at its approach, it always drove at the highest speeds possible and stuff (Bagage as well as mechanical parts) were always flying off. A distant, yet fond memory. |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Rick Fielding Date: 11 Apr 01 - 03:37 PM Kendall, Gawd bless you for being old enough to get my "Irene Ryan" joke. UBED, give me more of the story line. I MAY have it. Little Hawk. You can have the Elixers. I want my teflon on my frying pan, and my phosphor bronze on my guitar. Catspaw, I'm sending you all those old French Francs I'd bring home from Europe to use as slugs in parking Metres. FUNNY HOW YER DAY CAN BE FULL OF SURPRISES WHEN YER LEAST EXPECTING IT, EH, PAT? Rick |
|
Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: gnu Date: 11 Apr 01 - 03:34 PM Yes, Spaw, it is quite the group. I received Kendall's book on Monday and Mandolirium's CD yesterday. Both were birthday presents from wdyat12, who won them bidding in the auction after I mentioned that my business' cash flow was dripping. I tried to politely refuse his offer before he bid. Then I tried to weasel his address out of him so I could send a money order that he would have to cash. I finally gave up and accepted his kindness and generosity. What a great bunch to know ! Again, thanks Peter. |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Naemanson Date: 11 Apr 01 - 01:43 PM Jeri, I would love to build you a bouzouki like that one if you can see your way clear to building me a shop and equipping it. I already have most of the tools I would need but lost the shop in the divorce.... Spaw, I have several years worth of old National Geogrphics on their way to you. Hours of entertainment and education for the kids! How well I remember the education I took from between those yellow covers. |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Kim C Date: 11 Apr 01 - 01:42 PM The Lord moves in mysterious ways. Won't Listen obviously wanted to bless you, because s/he thinks a lot of you, not because s/he thinks you are destitute. ;-) Say thanks and do it for someone else later on. Cheers---- Kim |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Bedubya Date: 11 Apr 01 - 01:26 PM Spaw As the creator of the original post which is responsible for your newly acquired wealth, do I get a finder's fee? My OM loves Elixir strings. I think Mr. Hoover spoiled it at the factory and it won't accept anything less. Fortunately, the cats aren't that picky or I would be broke. BTW... It was not that long ago that I had to sell my only guitar to finance a move to a new job in a new city. Then came a rather expensive divorce, years of child support for two kids, marriage to someone else with two more kids etc. It's only been a few years since the kids have achieved enough independence to allow me to indulge in my musical instrument fetish. Things have not always been rosy around here either. And if my day job pisses me off one more time, they may not be much longer! Bruce |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: mousethief Date: 11 Apr 01 - 01:22 PM I thought a bouzouki was a shoulder-mounted rocket- or grenade-launcher? |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Bert Date: 11 Apr 01 - 01:18 PM Jeri, Lark in the Morning have a cheapie Puerto Rican Cuatro for $160. I bet you could tune that like a bouzouki. |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: kendall Date: 11 Apr 01 - 01:16 PM 10 sets? the Irene Ryan playboy issue?...I havn't laughed out loud in some time. Thank all of you! |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 11 Apr 01 - 01:05 PM LOL......I hope you all appreciate the spirit with which I meant the opening post. I was sitting here, once again stunned by this group of people and the things that happen around here.........Its simply amazing. I look at the things that have happened here over the years to me and to others and even from me and from others.....whatever......I am continually thankful that I stumbled in here. What a place......... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Apr 01 - 01:02 PM Not only that, Spaw, but I'm gonna send you all my old underwear. You know, after awhile they get fried in the drier too many times and the elastic waistband starts to break down and they don't look so spiffy anymore. Well, I know a guy in your position doesn't care about little imperfections like that, so 85 old underwear are now on the way to you. Too bad Rick got first dibs on the elixirs though. We coulda done a straight trade and then you wouldn't feel so beholden to me and all... Maybe next time. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Ebbie Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:54 PM Spaw, do you need a pony? |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: RichM Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:43 PM Jeri, the Trillium bouzouki looks like a fine instrument. While you're saving for this, why not start on something cheaper? I just got a 21" scale octave mando /bouzouki, which has a good sound. I think Folk of the Woods and/or Elderly Instruments sells them for 400 eaglebucks.... Rich McCarthy |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Rick Fielding Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:33 PM Damn, I'll take the Elixers. They ARE too expensive for me to buy just for a look-see, and so far the 12th Fret hasn't given me a "research set"! That's what ya get for being so loveable Spaw. Now just calm down and accept that folks WANT to do nice things for you. Heather is currently packing several boxes for you, just in case you've run out of orange peels and coffee grounds. I'm adding my complete collection of "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers", The infamous "Irene Ryan" issue of PLayboy, several capos of weird design, Clinton Hammond's digi-tech tuner, Little Hawk's collected ("Don't Post Here") Mudcat writings, and a Tee-shirt with "WATCH WHAT YOU ASK FOR" on it. No, Please don't thank me. Rick |
|
Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Jeri Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:33 PM Spaw, LOL! Just shaddup and say "Thanks!" Now, I can't afford this bazouki, but I don't expect anyone to help me out. I will just have to save my pennies for years and years, and when I can buy it, I'll probably be so old I'll have to put legs on the case so I can use it for a walker. (Due to the fact that I'll have to eat cat food and peanut butter for all those years.) But I don't expect anyone to buy one for me. A friend has one. Perhaps I'll just gaze longingly at his with, tears running down my poor, malnourished cheeks, but I don't expect anyone to buy one for me. Seriously, dear "Won't Listen" - good on ya! S/he probably knows that you, Spaw, are mostly full of crap, but laced with elements of truth. I suspect you would buy your kids a singing fish or take Karen out before you bought yourself anything. Good for "Won't Listen" for not listening!

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: GUEST,J.B.T. Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:08 PM Dearest Catspaw. Shortly you will receive a new Martin D-45 guitar, a Corvette, the phone number of Marisa Tomei, and a lifetime supply of Viagra. I'm currently reading every post you've ever made for overt or hidden wishes. They will be fulfilled every one. By the way, I'm a little short this week. Could you spare a couple of those sets of strings? Not the ELIXERS, by the way. I've got my pride! John Beresford Tipton P.S. I'm NOT sleeping with Michael Anthony!

Subject: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 11 Apr 01 - 11:55 AM Okay..........We all know the internet rules and stuff. That's not what this is about. This is a THANK YOU.........maybe not your normal one, but uh...................Goes like this: Last week we were discussing how to cure "Guitar Acquisition Syndrome" (G.A.S.) and I made the comment that "being broke with a bunch of medical bills will do it everytime! Even strings become a budgeted purchase!" Now friends, that was meant as a joke. In truth, things are tight around here right now, but we're not desparate and I have strings! We just don't blow any money on things we don't consider a necessity for awhile. We still do the normal stuff and our kids are getting big Easter baskets, Mikey got to go to the new Pokemon movie at its first showing, we eat out occasionally............but we do watch it pretty close on a lot of things and I don't see any major purchases coming soon........but like many of us around here at the 'Cat, we got to watch it! Although I really should mention the name of this 'Catter, I'll just call s/he "Won't Listen." So Won't Listen sends me a PM and wasnts to know when I changed strings last and do I need strings. It was a lovely thought and shows the real heart of this 'Catter but I explained it was just a joke and we were OK as were my strings. I get another PM from "Won't Listen" who doesn't seem to be listening and offers again. At this point I KNOW this is a "Good Guy" and I again restate that its a joke, its OK, but thanks for being such a friend. Again though, "Won't Listen" just won't listen or give up and I get a cryptic message that leaves me shaking my head because I got this feeling that "Won't Listen" is not listening or believing or something and.................. Sure enough....Today I get Express Mail containing TEN SETS OF MY BRAND (which I don't think I mentioned, so some research on the threads was needed) and TWO SETS of Elixirs which I haven't tried yet and "Won't Listen" knows that. I don't know what to say........Thank You is a start. The other thing is......I will get even for this!!! I dunno' when or how, but I will get even!! Thank you "Won't Listen"........I accept them in the spirit of friendship they were given. To the rest of you.............WATCH WHAT YOU SAY!!!! ............ya' really gotta' love this place doncha'? NOW READ MY LIPS----I AM NOT BROKE!!! Spaw |
