Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 10 Sep 23 - 05:58 PM It's been some time since I have dropped by, but then I no longer drive, and I had to have an uber driver friend give me a lift. (No, they don't give Lyfts)...... I see our guardians,Les, the Lawn Moor at the front door and Demi Modo in the bell tower are still on duty, Led keeping watch and Demi Modo keeping clock, and it seems that Les has a secretary taking minutes and our hatchback friend in the tower is sending down to the bar for seconds.... I see a few familiar cars and horses missing but I'll go inside and see who's about... But first I must check the lobby. I go to my P.O. Box and find a postcard from Defrosty, the retired snowman, and he's given up the snowmadic life and has settled into his retirement igloo in Antarctica with his "Rose Of Snowman's Land" and they be chllin' and sing out a chorus of "Freeze A Jolly Good Fellow" to the assembled multitudes ..... I step into the tavern proper and find...... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Donuel Date: 10 Sep 23 - 06:42 PM What a great blast from the past 'ITS SEVERN' ! Few of us drive anymore or very much. We teleport or shuttle. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Mrrzy Date: 11 Sep 23 - 09:10 AM Dr. McCoy was delayed but has a shuttlecraft at your disposal. Just be careful how you ask for rides... after all, he's a doctor, not a limo driver. He's at the bar now, curmudgeonially crumpetting the bat, who totally sympathizes about them new-fangled ways of transportation. The barkeep regrets black-marketing off the last of the Andorian ale to that Traveller, even if the bar did benefit from a little time distortion... If Bones is a curmudgeon now, just wait! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 14 Sep 23 - 08:49 AM So, how does this work, leftover pastries get swept into the crumb pit? I wave to a few people and sit down at an empty bar stool. I see the alligator is still tending bar. Since Mmario is no longer with us to cook, I ask the gator if there's still any of Mmario'a special stock of meat in the freezer and I could still get my traditional favorite of his sandwich specialties, Auroch on Roll. The gator says he will check and goes into the walk-in freezer. I inquire after the Squid, as I have brought him a present, a carton of ultra-rare samples of a test product that never made it to market, Key Lime Jello, for the Jello pit. I don't see any of the squid family, so they must've gone out the back door that leads to the beach...... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Donuel Date: 14 Sep 23 - 09:12 AM Severn there have been many changes to the virtual and real information reality of Maudcat Tavern perhaps owing to the AI revolution. For example, Mmario is still the informational cook although his physical avatar is gone. SO are all former catters. Amos is calling Rapaire a plagiarist and Catspaw is swearing a blue streak about Trump. Since AI has replaced most politicians with avatars or sentient lime jello. The zoning board has condemned Mauledcat Tavern so it only remains open as a secret speakeasy. Modcat Tavern is an ever-evolving and changing consciousness. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Mrrzy Date: 14 Sep 23 - 09:19 AM The bat, replete and crumb-covered, crab-walks out into the beach. Waiting for that wing to heal, they stretch out in the blazing sunlight on the hot, hot sand, and bask. A basilisk keeps its eyes closed, politely. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 14 Sep 23 - 09:28 AM So someone bring me up to date. Who has taken over for Mmario as chef? Are the squidlets still around, or have they grown up enough to go out on their own, and if so, are Mr. & Mrs. Squid contemplating a new brood? I guess I will have to wait until a Squid comes in from the beach.... Word has it that Nurse Ratched and her lover X-Ray Ted bypassed away while testing out the sexual possibilities of some new equipment down in a basement storeroom.....k |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Donuel Date: 14 Sep 23 - 10:24 AM If it is not your experience it is not your truth. This is why truth becomes a never-ending debate. So being up to date is not as important as your information database and intuitive evolution. Something is happening, what it is we just don't know, so go for it. Merdecat Tavern is what you make it much like real life. May your black swan events be few. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 14 Sep 23 - 11:06 AM I do still occupy a bed in the Recovery Ward, but that's a whole other thread on the making. All I'll say is that the romance between myself and Inter-Venus DeMilo, the armless therapy nurse is still on indefinite hold...... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 14 Sep 23 - 02:23 PM Thank you! I will have a Zevia Ginger Ale. Got to be careful with my Diabetes. It's good to see all those who showed up.I have a pinched nerve in my back, so I am walking with my trusty stick these days. Hopefully, the VA horse-spittle will be able to help, but the only person they have that can do the needed work is up in Baltimore rather than Washington DC. After seven years, I'm still involved in doing two shows at WOWD FM community radio out of Takoma Park MD.I am now living in a senior unassisted living apartment building in Rockville Maryland. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 14 Sep 23 - 08:43 PM takomaradio.org Donuel(and anyone else interested) That's how to get it on your computer. Being a community radio station,it only has a 7 mile footprint for radio, but is streamable worldwide at the above address. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Rapparee Date: 15 Sep 23 - 07:29 PM Guess what? I'm still alive and HEALING (or so the doctor says). I'd like a Talisker straight and one of those auroch sandwiches. I've come along way today (figuratively), missed a lunch, and missed a class on how Hollywood gets dinosaurs wrong. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Charley Noble Date: 18 Sep 23 - 08:43 PM Rapparee, Nice to hear you still walk this earth. I'll buy the next round! Cheerily, Charlie Ipcar |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 24 Sep 23 - 11:15 PM Who do we have for entertainment this time out? Are we staying through Thanksgiving? This is supposed to be a day of atonement, but I must atone deaf, because I don't seem to hear anybody atoning. A few are feeling sorry for themselves, but that is as close as it seems to get. I blow an A tone on my pitch pipe and say, "Let's have some music!" Some people manager to hit the most unharmonious note I ever heard. Repartee says "Is that A-tonal enough for you?" I head for the Men's Room, and by the time I come back out someone has put Connie Francis singing, "I'm Sorry" over the sound system, and I step outside and stone for ever bringing subject up...... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Stilly River Sage Date: 26 Sep 23 - 11:26 AM I suspect there will be a Mudcat Tavern outpost at the Getaway over the weekend. Will it be a tent, a bus, or lawn chairs pulled up behind a few parked cars with trunks full of cold brew and other adult beverages. Please report back, Sev! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 26 Sep 23 - 12:09 PM Atone not stone. I step outside, wave to Les the Lawn Moor and tell him that I am going for a walk in the bewilderness and assure him that I will be careful because the last time I tried to blaze a trail, I almost started a forest fire. A bear in a ranger hat stomped it out..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 26 Sep 23 - 12:13 PM There's a chance of actually making the Getaway. Then there's a chance of getting lost,too..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Bill D Date: 26 Sep 23 - 01:06 PM The Getaway is a Methodist camp... so no alcohol "allowed". ;>) But lots of Gazebo sitting and lawn lounging..(right now the forecast is good!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Mrrzy Date: 26 Sep 23 - 05:33 PM I am definitely not the bat who flies by my bewild lone. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Severn Date: 30 Sep 23 - 09:53 PM Back at the tavern,I had overheard someone talking about their quartet needing a good bass singer. In the middle of the bewilderness, just this side of being lost, I hear a lovely bass voice booming out of forest. I think to myself, "That is exactly what they need!" , so I'm hurry through the dense woods toward where the voice was coming from, and when I reach a clearing in a hollow, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but........p |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler Date: 01 Oct 23 - 05:22 AM A small pool with a singing fish in in the centre. Yes! it's a Bass. Robin |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Donuel Date: 01 Oct 23 - 08:06 AM There are singing fish as real as singing whales. At the foundation of everything one can not tell anyone anything. You have to have the experience. Then you begin to know. Telling people the absolute hyper truth amounts to foolish questions about sanity or just enjoying an unlikely interesting story. But have the experience...and the reality of the ineffable is known! Most of us are far more than an occupation and family member. We are parts of our entire evolutionary voyage and the whole universe. There are people out there who will only know sightseeing and fancy recipes but will not experience much beyond that. There is an experience beyond rational thinking that is closed to some people until they die. What is more sad than that? A squid inside lime jello? (a creature that goes backward its entire life in an unforgiving green medium that prevents movement) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern for the Bewildered From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler Date: 01 Oct 23 - 05:36 PM I suppose that the squid will have the same view of time as Terry Pratchets trolls: that it runs in reverse. Robin |
