Hee Hee! I just got the new, upstairs, computer hooked up and working. I don't think I'll register on this machine, though. That way I can be myself on one machine and be really nasty on the new one, and no one will know.

Also, since this is upstairs, I can get on the Mudcat nekkid, if I want to. Boy, are you folks in for a thrill!

Hello EVIL GUEST! Are you sure you didn't mean to say: 'That way I can be myself on one machine and be really nasty on the new one, and no one will know the difference!' Looking forward to your attempts at evility (is that a word?)

Thanks Amos!

Sorry, darlin', not me though. I'd be more transparent in my posting! LOL!! Plus who sez I put on clothes EVER when I am on the computer? Just cuz the LR puder is in front of two street windows-- Traffic goes 55, so who cares? OK, there is that blue and white polka dotted bikini, but that's just for when parishioners come over.

I think it's La Scorche.

Maybe it's Amos. Did you add a second story since I been there? Giving up that bathrobe for good?

I see that you use the same ISP on the two machines. Silly mistake, the IP address that is issued when you connect happens to match exactly this time (a lucky coincidence that provides me certainty, usually it is just close enough to allow me a confident guess). A cookie is not all that I can keep track of.

I know who you are.

When you ruin your reputation here, let me know, I'll put you in touch with 3 other catters who made the same mistake and regretted it. 2 of the 3 have repented and are working very hard to repair the damage that was done, not only to their Mudcat lives, but their real lives too. It's not quite easy, but possible.

A reminder to everyone: Anonymity does not exist on the internet. There are tricks and services that promise it, but all are flawed. You only need to be paranoid if you are up to no good.

Have a nice day.

Well, I couldn't get rid of my cookie for WEEKS. Damn Mudcat woudn't let me sign out! Once I finally did-- it was like going braless. A relief at first, but then... not so much!

So the line about being nekkid-- I can relate! I just wanna know, is EMG a she going without a brazzer or a he riding jockeyless?

Or-- omigod-- a he going braless... oh I see someone already guessed Spaw, nevermind!

It's probably someone else who is wondering why people are taking this so seriously, when they thought everyone would guess who it was, and they were mainly saying (with a little bit of smart-alecky joking around) they had their new computer working, but I could be wrong.

Spot, I lost it a long time ago. It's all that bellowing out of sea shanties that did it. If anyone's found it, please e-mail me.

A "Hess Hamster"? Hello! I don't have an upstairs, although I hope to be getting one in April... maybe.

Yes, my hammie is doing much better, and is almost up to all her usual tricks. I'm going to put the ball inside her cage with the lid that she can get in and out of, until I can get a wheel for the cage.

That way she won't get forgotten IN the ball when I'm sick...

What you see often IS what you get. I saw an invitation to play, and no harm being done elsewhere across the Forum.

I say we take EMG over to the Mellow tavern Hess just opened and play 20 questions, but without a limit of 20 questions. Surely we are creative enough to drag the truth out of an experienced Mudcatter through cleverly-worded yes and no questions. EMG, will you answer true and honest? We can ask all sorts of musical questions... let's go have a nice drink over at the recliner section...

I think we should ALL confess. That way no one will ever blame the actual doer of the deed, except maybe Max, and no one can claim later on it was them, exclusively, whether it was them, or not. It will dilute the impact, see? We can call this the Property of Distributive Blame. Each of us can shoulder our bit... like an Olympic flag in procession, that can be carried away by an updraft unelss we all hold down our section.

OK?

Blame for what? Having two computers? Property of Distributive Blame sounds too much like original sin to me.

Subject: RE: BS: Evil Mystery Guest
From: GUEST
Date: 05 Feb 01 - 12:50 PM

No, blame for perceived attempted two-facedness... hiding as a guest to be nasty, as was threatened... the P of DB erases the effect, see, not like original sin at all, since it seems that there was in fact no actual threat or harm planned. P of DB harnesses the urge to blame and subverts it completely by making it COOL but also IMPOSSIBLE to occupy the role of villain!

There was this one town where someone killed the town bully. No one could be convicted because ALL confessed.

Children sometimes discover this trick. WHO WAS SMOKING IN THE BATHROOM???? If the whole class claims blame, it's hard to assign punishment to the ONE if they all hang tough.

This would work for world terrorism, too, I am sure. If all possible groups would just try to claim credit when a bomb goes off, it would be hard to take any one group's threats seriously after that.

I think it WAS Sinsull, and she's just jealous that someone else stole the credit!
