Subject: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 30 Jan 11 - 02:37 PM Due to the large number of users becoming ill and dying and stuff the management has no choice but to enforce some new rules regarding posting on mudcat: 1) Any member admitted to a hospital ICU from this point on will not be allowed to post messages to this forum for the time they remain in ICU. 2) Any member dying will have their account permanently disabled and will never again be allowed to post on this forum. I regret to inform you of the new rule changes and I hope your cooperation in this matter will be forth coming. It is our wish that members would refrain from the above behavior as to not require the enforcement of these rules Sincerely The Management |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Ed T Date: 30 Jan 11 - 02:39 PM Does that rule out posts from the after life? |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Taconicus Date: 30 Jan 11 - 02:46 PM Are you implying that if I'm a reincarnation of Robbie Burns I'd not be allowed to post? Then Mudcat, partial Mudcat I'd arraign! Of thy caprice eternal I'd complain! |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: GUEST,Jon Date: 30 Jan 11 - 02:46 PM Ed T, athiest members will be allowed to continue posting. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 30 Jan 11 - 02:49 PM That is the trouble with mudcatter, always looking for a loophole in the law ... dang |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Ed T Date: 30 Jan 11 - 02:57 PM Would scientific evidence be required submitted that those of the past are in fact dead, before the mudcat account is terminated? Or, will a voucher from the cremator from the athiests, and creator for God believers, be accepted as proof? |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 30 Jan 11 - 03:00 PM I believe in the matter of spiritual access we need a clarification from Joe Offer. I do however believe that this rule only applies from here forward |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 30 Jan 11 - 03:05 PM There are some members who have passed away but are too stubborn to admit it ... such as Rap, olddude and GNU ... however since they will not admit to their demise they are still allowed to post. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Taconicus Date: 30 Jan 11 - 03:06 PM Ah, then the already-dead will be exempt. |

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 30 Jan 11 - 03:10 PM Yes, now from time to time one will hear "I wish I was dead" after reading someone's post in the BS section, the law does not apply to them either since that is a normal reaction. Likewise terms like "take me now God" or just shoot me .. again that is a normal response to the BS section and hence exempt |

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 30 Jan 11 - 03:51 PM hmmm another loophole Dave, we gotta figure that one out ... maybe if someone is intending to go into ICU we can require prior notification so they will refrain from posting .. that's it .. 24 hour notification required. If someone is planning a heart attack they have to clear it with mudcat first |

Same thing here -- I'll sign up my brothers in Illinois and they'll sue if this rule discriminating against the vitality-impaired isn't revoked! |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Ed T Date: 30 Jan 11 - 07:30 PM I suggest one post, at any time, be allowed per member, after death. It could only be posted under "what's the weather like where you are, mild or hot"? No post would be needed for the athiests, of course.:) |

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 30 Jan 11 - 10:31 PM Are deceased members allowed to have proxy posters? We already know what certain members are going to say on certain subjects, so why is it necessary that they be alive to post? If one of them should die, why couldn't someone else post their predictable same-old same-old comments for them? Like, if Little Hawk croaks tonight and there's a thread about US politics tomorrow, just about anyone could step in and post something about how lame-assed the two-party system is. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Gurney Date: 30 Jan 11 - 10:44 PM There has been far too much promiscuous croaking reported on this site. It is my opinion that no-one should be permitted to kick the bucket without prior written permission from Max or Joe. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Ebbie Date: 30 Jan 11 - 10:45 PM Well, this is a cool rule. I'm looking forward to hearing from several people soon; foremost among them, Rick and Little John Cameron. |

There are a few people who are dead from the neck upwards, thus impairing their 'Mudcat' function.... does the whole body have to be dead?" No, they can continue to contribute, but they will be strictly limited to threads on the following topics only:- 1) What is Folk Music? 2) Muslim men and their attitudes to non-Muslim women. 3) The search for a cure for Homosexuality. which is where they mostly reside anyway, so no change there. :-) :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: GUEST, topsie Date: 31 Jan 11 - 06:28 AM I'll be interested in the posthumous posts to the 'What did you have for breakfast?' thread. Will it be wall-to-wall ambrosia? |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 31 Jan 11 - 08:10 AM Or it could be the breakfast that killed, who knows what your nearest and dearest could have put in the porridge. Just like an Agatha Christie novel. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: jacqui.c Date: 31 Jan 11 - 09:03 AM Can we have posts from ICU if another Mudcatter is present? It would cause problems for me if we can't as, quite often, just a daily Mudcat fix is the only thing that keeps the Cap'n relatively well behaved! |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 31 Jan 11 - 09:20 AM Ok Jacqui, that makes sense, however the posts can only occur on a Tuesday ... and only if he is not wearing one of those backless show your butt hospital gown things ... |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 31 Jan 11 - 09:52 AM Rule number three: While in the hospital (not ICU) any member who consumes Jell-O at the direction of his or her doctor will also be banned from posting. Anyone who regards Jell-O as a source of nutrition for the sick cannot post as their mental faculties are impaired and would not be able to contribute to our daily scholarly discussions. In addition "Lime Green Jell-O" consumers would need to also submit a formal public apology |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: GUEST,Jon Date: 31 Jan 11 - 10:27 AM The above only applies to those calling it Jell-O. Those correctly calling it Jelly are free to consume and post. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: jacqui.c Date: 31 Jan 11 - 10:35 AM How about if the patient throws the Jello/Jelly at his doctor? |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Jeri Date: 31 Jan 11 - 10:37 AM ...and make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. If you try that with Jell-O, it's gonna get weird. |

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 31 Jan 11 - 12:03 PM Pete is the guy who wrote the specs for "what is folk music" and the best selling book "if it's green in color don't eat it" ... |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: GUEST,Jon Date: 31 Jan 11 - 12:21 PM Shouldn't have started that one... In UK, Jelly is Jeri's Jell-O and a conserve. Jelly is strained (as is a cheese which is not to be confused with ,hmm, cheese) and jam has bits in (and so does marmalide). |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 31 Jan 11 - 12:27 PM And Jelly is also something you have with custard, preferably not posthumously. PS. That's cornflower type custard, not real custard. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: GUEST, topsie Date: 31 Jan 11 - 12:38 PM In Spain they have a kind of pumpkin jam called 'cabello de ángel', which means 'angel hair' - should be appropriate for those on the other side. |

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: olddude Date: 31 Jan 11 - 03:34 PM Cheese Jelly ... OMG ... no say it ain't so ... that is just wrong. New rule anything that involves Jelly and Cheese is cause for immediate termination of your posting rights on the grounds of projectile vomit |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: GUEST, topsie Date: 31 Jan 11 - 03:45 PM If you spread your fruit cheese in a thin layer and dry it you get fruit leather. Jam, cheese and leather are all ways of preserving fruit from before the days of freezers. And they all taste good with cheese. |

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Ed T Date: 31 Jan 11 - 05:59 PM Cook your Bones: "At approximately 1292 degrees Fahrenheit, calcium phosphates begin to fuse together and change in color and shape. While not entirely reduced to ash, modern cremation does an excellent job of vaporizing and deteriorating bone. Human bones are comprised of a collagen-rich matrix pregnant with calcium phosphate and other minerals. Calcium phosphates are inorganic mineral salts present in the form of tiny crystals, and make up roughly 65 percent of our bone mass. Most tissue composing the human body begins combustion at 572 F. In cremation, the deceased is exposed to several hours of intense heat ranging between 1400 F and 1800 F, vaporizing all organic matter. Some portions of the inorganic bone do survive this process, only as chips and re-fused fragments of calcium phosphate. In modern crematories this remaining material is sifted through a specialized processor and ground into a uniform substance similar to powder. This powder constitutes the remains of a body and is primarily cremated bone."" Bones After the cremation, only bone fragments remain, which mostly consist of calcium phosphates and minor minerals. ""These fragments represent roughly 3.5% of the original body mass. After the incineration is completed, the bone fragments are swept out of the retort, and the operator uses a pulverizer called a cremulator (also known informally as a crembola) to process them into a consistent powder. The cremulator, is essentially a rotating drum similar to a spindryer, except it is filled with steel ball bearings, whose disturbance powders the weakened bones.""http://www.cremation.co.uk/process.htm Boils your bones Now, the reason I raise the above is Jello is mostly made of bones, (and also, if available, connective tissues, organs and sometimes intestines). Jello, bone up |

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Ed T Date: 31 Jan 11 - 09:51 PM Marshmallows (yes, even Wagon Wheels) contain: corn syrup, sugar, dextrose, food starch - modified (corn), water, gelatin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate artificial and natural flavor, and artificial color. Gelatin = boiling animal skin, connective tissue, hooves or bones. You'll find gelatin in jelly,jam, gummy candies, Jell-o, ice cream, margarine, cream cheese, low-fat, and margarine and many other foods also contain gelatin. (Alternatives to gelatin include non-animal sources as agar-agar (a seaweed), carrageenan (Irish Moss), pectin (apples and citrus peel), konjak, and guar gum. |

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: GUEST,Jon Date: 01 Feb 11 - 07:06 AM The first few recipies I find for lemon cheese are what I (also confused from the UK) would call lemon curd. Curd uses eggs and butter what I call a (eg. damson) cheese doesn't. |

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Ed T Date: 01 Feb 11 - 07:40 AM Note the letter in the comments of my last post...Oh well, here it is: Dear Sir/Madam, I am CHEF Julius Ojeh Iwegbu, Head Stuart of the Nigeria Hilton Hotel. I have urgent and very confidential culinary proposition for you. On June 6, 2002, a FOREIGN consultant/farmer with the Nigerian National Agricultural Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly slaughtered a goat. It's head, valued at $25,000,000,000.00 (TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS) is in my freezer. Upon discovering it, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a few days, we sent a reminder and finwelly we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Agricultural Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from a tragic goatherding accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his goat head paperwork in my Freezer. The goat head is still sitting in my Freezer and the meat is being aged. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 12 (twelve) months, the goat head will rever to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim it. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a Foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly. This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address os that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents, herbs, spaces, and affadavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of an Attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A refrigerator in any part of the world, which you will provide, will then faciliate the transfer of this goat head to you as beneficiary/next of kin. The head will be put into your refrigerator for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 25% for you. 5% will be for settling expenses on my part and yours, also for sauce when the goat head arrive your country. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Head Chef guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable and delicious for both of us because I shall require your assistance to ingest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply. Via the following email addresses:bayet@hknetmail.com,bayet1@hknetmail.com,bayet3@hknetmail.com. Thanks and regards. CHEF Julius Ojeh Iwegbu. |

I was in the backwoods for a couple of days and had nuthin left ta eat cept an apple. So, I used it as bait. A red squirrel grabbed it an scampered up to a pine branch to have a munch so I shot the little bushy tailed rat to get my apple back. I felt bad and remembered my old man's golden rule... don't shoot nuthin ya ain't gonna eat. Made a fire, roasted the rat on a stick, took one bite, spit it out and ate the apple. I can still taste the musk. And the robin was just as bad. I finally had to bring myself to take a rabbit... there were lots of rabbits but I just didn't want to kill any... that's a long story. Maybe Reds are different? In any case, new rule... no red skwerl. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place From: Rapparee Date: 03 Feb 11 - 04:00 PM You didn't cook it right. First off, ya gotta take the fur off and the insides out. Just those two will help a lot with the taste. Helps to remove the head, feet, and tail too. |

And, my fav rabbit recipe is hopping away from me. Had a bad experience. Used to have a snare line and sell em when I was 12 until one day... and I only killed a rabbit once after that. Mum wouldn't allow them in the house so I never ate one execpt over a fire. Rap... of course ya remove the feet... the claws make fer good toothpicks. And, as far as eatin fir... ah, nevermind. |
