Subject: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Snuffy Date: 10 Dec 00 - 01:36 PM Yesterday afternoon there was a thread that kept a small number of us in hysterical fits of laughter while shorty was out of action. When he came back on-line this thread had been deleted by a power-that-be. We have been discussing the disappearance in this thread Shorty's Back , and the general opinion seems to be that the thread was pulled because the title was objectionable, not because of the various postings on the thread, which were good-humoured parodies of various 'Catter's styles and obsessions. If that's the case then this attempt to resurrect the thread should survive; if not, then this thread will probably disappear as well! I managed to resurrect the first 50 postings from my IE history. There were probably only a couple more. If you feel slighted because you're not mentioned, don't complain - log out, come back as a guest and parody yourself. It pays to advertise! Wassail! V
Subject: Mudcat is totally unreliable Mudcat has gained a reputation on the net for being unreliable and down more than it is up. What gives?
From: GUEST,kat/katsnotlaughing Yes, I have noticed that too. Mudcat has been down a lot of late.
From: GUEST,Catspaw365daysayear I am sure that I will think of something dumb to say about this. From: GUEST,Praisethelord Date: 09-Dec-00 - 02:20 PM Mudcat started going down when I stopped asking Jesus to keep it up.
From: Ebbie I keep all three of the incarnations (www.mudcat.org; ragtime.mudcat.org; loki.mudcat.org) bookmarked. When one doesn't go through, I try one of the others. So far, one of them always does, usually loki. (Note that two of the addresses are not on the www.) Ebbie
From: GUEST,Joemakemeanoffer I will try and find links to previous threads that discuss why Mudcat is down so often.
From: GUEST,Ebbieandflowie
From: GUEST,Rick Fieldingofdreams
From: GUEST,Maxtheknife I think I accidentally cut off the server.
From: GUEST,Ken Doll Buy my CD! Barbie did.
From: GUEST,Dick in the Green House Buy Ken Doll's CD from me and I'll donate 27 cents to the Mudcat Fixit Fund.
From: GUEST,Catspaw365daysayear I am still sure that I will think of something dumb to say about this.
From: GUEST,Matt_R_U_goingtoscarboroughfair Mudcat worked better when Mbo was around.
From: GUEST,Ken Doll No it did not.
From: GUEST,Matt_R_U_goingtoscarboroughfair
From: GUEST,Ken Doll You know nothing, you're just a kid. If you want to learn something, buy my CD.
From: GUEST,anonymousethief Why does every thread have to turn into this kind of bickering between Ken Doll and Matt_R_U_goingtoscarboroughfair?
From: Giac Why not!! This morning I got an e-mail that my ISP has been "acquired" and will change as of tomorrow! Tomorrow for godsake. Why tell me at all, ah mean, AH MEAN, why bother! See, the problem is, I figure, that all the mice in the Internet wheels have been "acquired" for the recount. Go to bigger wheels and maybe use rats (they'll be out of work after the election fiasco anyhow), bigger and meaner, yup, that'll do it. ... the shark bite, with its teeth, babe, scarlet ... Giac, who really needs to be at NYCFTTS.
From: GUEST,Ken Doll It is because that stupid kid won't buy my CD.
From: GUEST,Matt_R_U_goingtoscarboroughfair Gramps, I don't need your geezer music. I can always listen to Leaden Zeppelin sing "Midnight At The Oasis".
From: GUEST,Reallylittlehawk I will write a major protest song about the unreliability of Mudcat.
From: GUEST,Catspaw365daysayear Why can't I think of something dumb to say about this?
From: Bill D "please deposit another $2.00 in quarters for 40 more minutes" *ka-ching* and then go here
From: Ebbie LOL! Ebbie (I've been wishing I had a friend named Flo)
From: Jeri Bill D, that's a BIZARRE site! (And this is a bizarre thread, but I can understand someone talking to themselves today.) Ebbie, how about a song? "Ebbie little thing you do is magic?" My name doesn't make for much fun, but the combination with my middle name does rhyme with a bunch of things.
From: GUEST,Jeriatric That's what she thinks.
From: GUEST,Ken Doll Jeriatric, You must be old enough to buy my CD.
From: GUEST,SuperMario Do you have a tune for "Mudcat is Totally Unreliable"
From: GUEST,Brew So "Ye Mudcat is Unrelyabble" was entered in the Stationers Register in 1646. A copy is available on my Scary Songs website.
From: Ebbie 'And its message is subliminal'. Tra la. Ebbie
From: Zebedee Whoever 'Guest' is, I think that it should be recognised that he/she actually makes a fair point. I love mudcat, and in no way could I provide anything better. it does get frustrating sometimes, though If money / time is an issue, nicely done sponsorship would suit me Ed
From: GUEST,Maxwell House Hey, posting with your cookie set isn't allowed on this thread. Log out or butt out!
From: GUEST,Wild rover Help, I'm looking for the words of an Irish song I heard in abr in the 70s. I think it's called No Nay Never. Please e-mail the words to me at thick@brick.com. Thanks
From: GUEST,gargoil ha! It's all me--I mean I-- I mean you though you got rid of me, but now I'm everyone!
From: GUEST,Snuffit Out Here is an ABC for the missing tune of Mudcat is Totally Unreliable What's Ale? V
From: GUEST,Doogie R Even though I am outnumbered by all you commie, pinko, Clinton-loving left-wingers, I can still protest this thread drawing attention from the Democrats attempting to hijack the Florida vote!
From: sophocleese Shouldn't this be in the Parodies thread?
From: GUEST,*** #1 unPleasant*** This repeated failure of the Mudcat is a conspiracy led by the Pope to stop me posting Orange songs. Conman
From: GUEST,Alain of OZymandyus snuffit: if you remember, I gave you a program to convert those ABC files to midis! Now I have to type all those little red letters in!
From: Amergin I have an idea who this idiot is....
From: GUEST,one of the many faces of Eve why must it be only one idiot? We have large supply.
From: Amergin What's wrong? Not original enough to make up a name for me? So tell me why are you acting this way? Are you having domestic problems? Is your dog refusing to touch you now that you ran out of peanut butter? Come on you can tell me.... Amergin
From: Ebbie Speaking of 'totally unreliable', Mudcat won't let me into the membership page- and how else does one log off? I want to be a GUEST! Guest/Eb
From: GUEST,Am Urgin' Ebbie, go to http://www.mudcat.org/member/EntryForm.cfm
From: Amergin That's a little better. I feel a bit better now that I have been included with all of those great folks above. Thank you for making my day.
From: GUEST,Malcolm Douglas Fir Tree "Mudcat Is Totally Unreliable" is in fact related to "The Super Search Is Down" and "Why Is Mudcat So Slow" and is described in "The Oxford Book Of Obscure Songs" see also This thread Malcom Douglas Fir Tree
From: sophocleese Damn! Ostracized again! I'm going to sulk.
From: Jeri There's not much going on, and I think it's pretty funny, myself. I AM, however, extremely upset over one thing - why didn't I think of "Jeriatric?!?!" (Must be the Alzheimer's.)
From: GUEST,Dave Ostracised Damn Soap_and_Cheese. How dare you use MY name like that?
From: GUEST,Car-oilC Tell me how to get into the resources pages. It doesn't work even when I type loki in front of the .mudcat in the url Car-oil |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: sophocleese Date: 10 Dec 00 - 03:24 PM THanks Snuffy, I thought it was quite funny too. I left to go to a concert and when I came back it was gone. Thanks for resurrecting what you could. I missed being called Soap and Cheese. Now I feel better. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Geoff the Duck Date: 10 Dec 00 - 04:16 PM I am just sorry that when I logged on at about 1am last night (GMT), I was wanting to use the computer for non-mudcat purposes, and as a result I did not sit down and properly read the "lost thread" whilst it was live. I would did intend to follow it to its conclusion at leisure, but am not now able to. Thanks "Guest" for recovering what you could from the original. I was amused. GtD |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Woolie-OhDamn... Date: 10 Dec 00 - 04:22 PM Up here in Canada we're sick of that election that they can't figure out who lost it so they can be president. This wouldn't happen so much if there were more hits on my mp3.com site where I have recently posted a song that I wrote on Rick Fieldofdreams' former guitar which is different from my Martin O-18 which is an acquired taste but good for playing quietly and I met Stan Rogers and Stockwell Day richly deserves his impending retirement and did you know I opened for Archie Fisher? Just wondering, I have no opinion. Wooly-Oh-DamnICan'tHaveABeerButICouldSureUseOne |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,antiMattR Date: 10 Dec 00 - 05:46 PM Oh Why does every one attack us for being young and not getting laid and for liking Oasis, and not understanding the point, but turning innocent threads into personal attacks??? and me up to my ass in college work and wood glue...I cant be bother, you are a bunch of old fogeys..and I fart in your general direction.. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,upchuck Date: 10 Dec 00 - 06:44 PM I'm the forgotten one. The other Chucks never even admit they know me. I wrote a parody of A-Rovin' that goes:

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Neon Bonniephyte Date: 10 Dec 00 - 07:34 PM I am so confused. At first I thought as I was new, I needed a name that reflected that and I saw my self as being Little Neophyte. I later thought that as my name is Bonnie and I was learning the banjo that I should change to Banjo Bonnie. I then thought that as I was still learning that I should go back to being Little Neophyte but to sign my self as Bonnie so that people would no that Little Neophyte was really Banjo Bonnie. I then thought that perhaps that was too confusing and thought that maybe if I combined the two to make Neon Bonniephyte this would simplfy matters but I no longer know who I am. Your thoughts would be so appreciated. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Jon Forebrain Date: 10 Dec 00 - 07:42 PM Bonnie, I searched for one on the web, and NameMe appeared tobe the most likely candidate, but they have no Mac support. I am working on a programme that will hlep you do that. I should be able to knock something together in another 10 seconds or so./ |
|
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Humerus Buttock Date: 10 Dec 00 - 08:10 PM Bonnie I had trouble finding a name for myself. I knew it had to have a bone in it and I like words that end in "ock". I started off with leg bones, and tried Femur Cassock and Tibia Hammock but I knew that I was more of an arm bone than a leg bone so I tried Ulna Peacock. There was still something wrong though and I realised that the second word needed to be anatomical too so I arrived at Humerus Buttock. Just keep thinking, you will get there and it will be worth the effort. HB |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Ricky Fieldmouse Date: 10 Dec 00 - 09:57 PM Hi! Howdy and Wow! Just heard the most obscure fantabulous guitarist in the world! He's called "Blind Bermuda Schwartz" and you've just GOTTA GOTTA hear him! He's only sold six albums in his lifetime, but he's done the best version of "It's So Lonesome in the Saddle Since My Horse up an' Died" I've ever heard. By the way how's everyone doin' on their Bb demented 9th? It's real easy (if you've got seven fingers on yer left hand) just make sure you practice til yer fingers start bleeding! Gotta invest in the music ya know! Gotta, Gotta! "insert joke here". Ricky |
|
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,MuTed Date: 10 Dec 00 - 10:29 PM I hate to correct you Ricky but the Bd Demented 9th is not a chord. To keep with correct naming conventions, theoretically, it would have to be called a Bb Demented Augmented Suspended Maj 9th. MuTed |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Guest: SCROLL Date: 10 Dec 00 - 11:06 PM Allow me to introduce myself; I am SCROLL, trolls good twin. Please ignore troll. His postings are delusional and why the "Home for the Terminally Bewildered" lets him have access to a computer is more than I can fathom. It only gets him all worked up, and he raves for days about imaginary people named "Spaw" and "Ebbie" and "Max". I wish he abandon this ficticious world and return to his job at the family firm. Mater is so upset that she has postponed her yearly pilgrimage to Monaco for THREE days! So, please. Ignore him. Don't reply to his ravings and we may yet hope for a cure. SCROLL,Esq., P.A.

I don't have much time to spend here since Honey and I have been building that resort on the other side of our river. We're almost finished, and would like to invite the entire world to come make beautiful music, eat, drink, and be merry! Max, we remembered you! The fur-lined hammock is waiting for you out in the gold pagoda. I hope everyone can make it!!! This is going to be fun!!! Please PM me for directions, or let me know where the nearest helicopter landing site is to your house.
Love,

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Peter Tea and Empathy Date: 11 Dec 00 - 01:20 PM "The Beatles more popular than Buddah?" I hardly think so. As I was sitting in the Louvre the other day absorbing the sheer majesty of Pierre de Galoshes' "Homage a Jeux de fou d'Avril", I thought "What a load of codswallop!" |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Dice Clay O'Possum Date: 11 Dec 00 - 03:56 PM Man, don't you people have lives? I mean, here I am, a feckin' piece of sculpture, forced to put up with some idjit that keeps violating my anus with his putrid breath; not to mention his delusions about those inbred sloths masquerading as FieldofDreams brothers Rug, Rug and Rug...and CleatMe! Have you read some of those posts suppossedly from CleatMe? I have to live with this person. H*ll, you all feckin' well know that I am the ars*h*le. I mean, how many sane, rational people do you know who would believe a ceremic ocarina actually types in messages to the internet? I mean, the executives of Dow Index Companies aren't that stupid, and I should know! Of course this could all be an irrational fantasy caused by sniffing too much glue while making stick dull-cimers, but I don't think so. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Matt'R'O'Fact Date: 11 Dec 00 - 04:04 PM Look, what's so special about folk music? I mean, look at Oasis, they write great lyrics and musically you can tap your toes to it, and isn't that what it's all about? Hmm? Girls never give me the time of day. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Rambles Date: 11 Dec 00 - 04:32 PM I have been reading this thread with interest and I wish to equire what is the meaning of this thread and why did it start? I don't mean why did anonymousethief originate the thread but what is the deeper meaning of this thread and what does it tell us about ourselves as human beings. Or perhaps, more to the point, are we human beings and assuming we are, how can will really be sure whether we are right or wrong when it is only we who can arrive at such a conlusion. Or is there an alien culture that told us that we are humans and if so, where do they live? If this alien race told us that we are human beings how do we know that they are correct and how do they know who they are? Could it be that this alien race were given their identiy by an other alien race who also told them that we are human beings? Considering the possibility of the number of aliens that may or may not exist, we need to consider the number of planets that may exist and how many support life as we know it or do these aliens who may or may not have told us that we are human beings have to be life as we know it when is likely that as we are unaware of thier existance that rather than being life as we know it, they are in fact life as we don't know it?

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Rambles Date: 11 Dec 00 - 08:36 PM Snuffy, your answer is fraught with simplicity. Please PM. me with an infinitely more complex explanation so that I may question the motivation behind every preposition and comma. Rambles |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,FriendlyBrendy Date: 12 Dec 00 - 01:54 AM I just don't see how (because you know I don't get into this much, myself), anyone could object to a bit of pasquinading. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery....(the idiots can - Click Here - ), well, then we must, by definition, agree that it in itself must be part of the creative process. Bit like What is 'Folk Music'?, I suppose. Even Bob Dylan would have agreed. I mean, like, who does he remind you of? Eh? Plagarism is rife in society today, and in order to get to my point I will have to search through numerous web pages, taking many hours, and many days, while steadily increasing my Flesch-Kincaid level Me? I'm perfectly fine and friendly (me mammy loved me!) But if I think someone's trying to take the piss, I'll tell them to shag away off for themselves. So yis can take that whatever way youse will. My life wont change much, one way or the other. B. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: sophocleese Date: 12 Dec 00 - 10:48 PM I'm still trying to find something in my manner or my presentation that would be decent material for a parody. I have to admit that I haven't found it yet, I must suppose therefore that I am perfect in all ways and, consequently, better than the rest of you. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Rick Fielding Date: 13 Dec 00 - 01:48 AM Soph, I can see the problem the parodists might have in doing an impression of you. T'ain't anything to do with perfection, just that nothing parody-wise jumps out. You just don't seem to have any (publicly) annoying habits or "beat it into the ground" positions. I've got tons. Someone who's into proper sentence construction could have a field day with my habit of using brackets. My tiresome references to Quentin Crisp having all the answers, would qualify as well. Oh, and the harping on playing "proper chords", "investing in the music", and always improving your accompaniement skills...those are rife for parody. Not to mention using.....dots...when I can't instantly think of the proper punctuation. My suspicion of religion and outright hatred of authority come into play now and then as well....oh, and I still know practically nothing about the computer! Sheeeit! Next to that you ARE perfect! Rick |
|
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Little Neophyte Date: 13 Dec 00 - 06:25 AM Soph, maybe you should make an appointment with my psychiatrist. I am quite sure he would find lots of decent material for your parody. Sometimes you just got to dig deep thats all. Little Bonaphyte

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: sophocleese Date: 13 Dec 00 - 08:14 AM Thank you, thank you. I have been struggling and losing sleep with this question for the last couple of days. I should have remembered that I had merely to describe the problem and the kind loving people at Mudcat would be falling all over their feet to help me. Again I am deeply moved by the willingness of Mudcatters to go that extra mile and make sure that no concern is left unanswered. Thank you, thank you, I really mean that. |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Jeri Date: 13 Dec 00 - 01:15 PM Well, nobody's really done one of me except me. I'm fairly sure I can think of a lot of things about my writing I would parody if I were someone else. Maybe I'm just no fun... |
|
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Jon Freeman Date: 13 Dec 00 - 01:25 PM I think Rick has answered the why Jeri. Some people do have more obvious traits than others and I can't really think of anything to do with you - wish I could - I guess I could use Jeriatric and call you an old fart ;-). I think I have ran out of ideas now anyway. I have been: Am Urgin, Malcolm Douglas Fir Tree, Dave Ostracised, Neon Bonniphyte, Humerous Buttock, MuTed, Rambles (1st appearance), Bill D'a Bonfire and Soap_and_Cheese. Jon |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Little Neophyte Date: 13 Dec 00 - 01:30 PM Oh you are a blast Jer! I know for a fact you are a parody haven. I spent an afternoon and evening with you in person, remember? I'll go ask my psychiatrist what he thinks I should write about you. Bon |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Juri-rigged Date: 13 Dec 00 - 03:04 PM As soon as I get done digging a hole to China in my garden and dump those pesky slugs down it, I will find that tune you newbies are looking for, after I make sure Kendal's megabytes don't take a chunk out of AntiMatteR. Oh, by the by, I've just written a new tune, a real killer which will knock Bonnaphyte's white sox off, then we can examine the balanced view of why Spaw wants her to wear them. This is in addition to my practising on a gazillion fiddles, toning up my voice, and imparting practical knowledge on the whole. In my spare time I analyse critical situations with 8,000 words treatises on Satan's minions. Juri-rigged |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,ALlusion on the Yellow brick road Date: 13 Dec 00 - 03:13 PM I reckon I am the FAIR ONE and can beat the bodhran outta any of you, even tho ya are me mates! After visiting 250 different bodhran and flute makers in the "old country", I finally settled on 80 slightly different tunings for over 40 flutes, bought myself 30 new harps, enough to make sure you are all green with envy, so ya remind me of home, and managed to visit every trad musician ever to live in the most beautiful scenery imaginable, while packing my children on my back. Simultaneously, I took National Geographic-worthy pictures of the highpoints, sitting up in the wee hours at the pub downloading them for digital delivery to share with you lot. I reckon it is to me da's credit and Rosie's that not once, while I was there, did I click my ruby red slippers and say, "There's no place like home." Now that I am back on the Yellow Brick Road, though, I am looking for those slippers! It's all just an ALlusion to me! |

Maybe you need to go take a walk around the block or something. Some of my best friends are pagans. I get along with everybody. I'm so magnanimous even I can't believe it.

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Jon Freeman Date: 13 Dec 00 - 03:41 PM Mrzzy..., The input box for the name is limited to 50 characters. It looks to me as if the is the size of this field in the datbase. My guess is that when it was decided to prefix names with "Guest,", this input box should have been reduced to accept only 44 characters to make a maximum of 50 in total. Jon |

We worship at the feet of the Heat Goddess and partake of only the clean waters which have cycled through Her sacred sites. Furthermore, we suspect Mr. A'm a gonna git you, is casting aspersions because he is just a young whippersnapper who needs his arse kicked not into the next county, but out there to that big ole LONELY Isle of which poor Hulaboy speaks. Perhaps then he might learn the proper respect for our quite YOUNG and Beloved Mistress! Ms. Kelpie, Matriarch in waiting |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Yawning Date: 14 Dec 00 - 06:59 PM Hi there, Catters! My ancient joints are creaking this evening. I am so excited! I just recieved my first package from the Hair Club! Well, anyways, I hope you all have your notepads handy, and your creative juices flowing, 'cause you're gonna need them for our next challenge!! This challenge was sent to me, the great and holy Queen of The Mudcat, by my subject Amoose. Naïve Detective Suspects Fair Play CHICAGO-- Phil Kelly, a naïve detective with Chicago's 15th Precinct, suspected fair play Monday in the shooting death of local businessman Arnold Haver. "The shocked expression on the victim's face leads me to believe that he received some tragic news and subsequently committed suicide," Kelly said. "The fact that the bullet hole entered through his back shows just how determined he was to kill himself." Kelly also cited the misspelling of Haver's name in the suicide note and the fact that the left-handed victim was found with the gun in his right hand as evidence of the incredible stress he was under before taking his own life. Now my dear, loyal subjects, you all know the prize for winning this Challenge. The winner gets to guess my real age! So go for it Challengers!! Yawning |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Peter T. Date: 15 Dec 00 - 08:52 AM And I look down onto the frozen pond, which the wind has rippled into an imperfect mirror, and I see the deep December sky, and I think -- is this pond image a parody of the real? -- an amusing distortion -- or a travesty? -- one of the many inadequate representations of that immensity arching above us, but this one a failure of Nature herself -- or perhaps even a burlesque? -- not the low form of burlesque, but that form of burlesque that followed each Greek tragedy designed to send the patrons home laughing at their own part in the vast comic conspiracy? Or, as Traherne says, is such an image an image of ourselves, distorted reflections of the ideal that we carry about with us; or, to be more pointed, like the crumpled photographs of forgotten loves that the lonely carry about half-forgotten in their wallets, to be rediscovered only occasionally when, upon receipt of a new wallet on Christmas day, the shards of one's official life and one's unofficial secrets, are shaken out from the old and transferred to the new? yours, Peter T. |
