Subject: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Lonesome EJ Date: 11 Jun 01 - 06:55 PM Well, we've done a little redecorating in the old Tavern for the Summer. We've got pennants and trophies on the walls, a big screen tv in the billiard room, and we even have some sports memoribilia displayed. Like this baseball, for example. This is the one Rick Fielding tried to sneak over the plate past the French Kid who slammed it into the seats, ending Fielding's major league hopes. Aw, heck, wipe the tears away...Baseball's loss is Folk Music's gain. We also welcome fans of Football, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, Rugby, Cricket, Hurling, what have you. As you can plainly see, I'm wearing my Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup 2001 Cap, a Denver Broncos jersey, a pair of Colorado Rockies Sweat Pants, and a pair of Louisville Cardinals socks. We've got hot chicken wings on the menu and $3.00 pichers of beer. You're welcome to watch the game in the pool room, but the main room is for Music as always. Anybody with a song, especially a sports or team song, step up to the microphone. If you feel like a little physical action, step out in back where Bert and Catspaw have got the volleyball net set up, clothing optional. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Matt_R Date: 11 Jun 01 - 07:03 PM Well I've got my Phillies hat and my Sixers jacket on, ready to urge my teams on to glory! Anyone up for "Mis-shapes"? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Lonesome EJ Date: 11 Jun 01 - 07:16 PM I'm with you on the Sixers, Matt. I've been a Dikembe Mutumbo fan since he was the Franchise here in Denver. Look what's happened to the Nuggets since he left. Have a beer on Bert. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: JenEllen Date: 11 Jun 01 - 07:21 PM Are girls allowed in this clubhouse? Got my Giants jersey on, set me up with a tall one (drink that is...there's always time for shirts'n'skins later) ~J |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Lonesome EJ Date: 11 Jun 01 - 07:39 PM Do we ALLOW girls!? We encourage, invite, and attempt to entice 'em! Even wearing Giants jerseys. I'm still bitter about the Super Bowl where Phil Simms and crew whipped up on the Broncos. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: JenEllen Date: 11 Jun 01 - 07:47 PM Giant's baseball, luv. The most un-threatening Giants of all...LOL #22, from the days when Will graced first base. Even had Willie Mays sign the tag for me. Is the air-hockey table fixed yet? ~J

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Sorcha Date: 11 Jun 01 - 07:52 PM yuck, this place is a Sports Bar.........see ya next time around. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Lonesome EJ Date: 11 Jun 01 - 07:55 PM Oh, heck, that's a different story, Jen. The Say Hey Kid is one of the best to ever play. Question now is...can Bonds break McGwire's home run record? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Noreen Date: 11 Jun 01 - 07:58 PM Oooooh, can I put up my prized Kevin Keegan poster above the bar please? And the one of the 1970's Liverpool squad, though it is rather dog-eared.... JenEllen, you don't have to wear that nose clip all the time, do you? Thought it was only when you wuz swimmin'... must make drinking a bit awkward? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Lonesome EJ Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:01 PM Sure, Noreen. Just one thing...who is Kevin Keegan? And was that 70s Liverpool squad a soccer team or a Rugby team? Sincerely, Ignorant Yank |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Caitrin Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:21 PM *grins* Right here, wearing my New Jersey Devils jersey. And trying not to make faces at Leej's Avalanche gear. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Lonesome EJ Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:26 PM Ah, but it was a great series, Cait! Let me buy you a beer. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Noreen Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:38 PM Since you asked... Kevin Keegan was the star striker in the 70's Liverpool F.C. (soccer) squad who won everything in sight. Also famous for their curly perms... Kevin Keegan went on to manage the England football team, but was too nice to be successful... *BG* ...but he is still my hero. *grin* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: JenEllen Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:43 PM Hey now! They told me that nose clip was high-fashion for places like this....besides, once Spaw gets here, you'll ALL be wanting one. *bg* Bonds is going to have to work hard, Leej. I saw McGuire a coupla times when he was still a 'bash brother' in Oakland, and in the '89 series. He's had that reach for a long time. And Barry wears too much jewelry to be able to run, so hitting is his only option. Either that or MrT in the A-Team reunion special...but can he act?? ~J

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Matt_R Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:44 PM New Jersey? NEW JERSEY? I HATE NEW JERSEY! They are nothing but a bunch or cruel sadists who just **HAPPEN** to know how to skate, who have no qualms about seriously injuring other players, just to get goals. Then they get touched on the arm and start rolling on the ground writhing in pain like their leg has been pulled off. I never saw a bigger bunch of rotten, cheating, gratuitously violent, unsportsmanlike cretins in all my life! Rant OFF! FAKE!! DEATH TO SCOTT STEVENS, aka SATAN

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: JenEllen Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:47 PM Okay, now when you all quit stomping on poor Matt *bg* get over HERE and write on the wall--our girl is dying for material. ~Dr J |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Caitrin Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:58 PM Okay, Matt, calm yourself. They happen to be damn fine hockey players, and I think your comments could be applied to an awful lot of people in the sports world, no more to Jersey than anyone else. Hockey is a violent sport. That's the way it is. Get over it. And you're right, Leej, it was a good bunch of games. *grins* I'll gladly take you up on that beer. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: katlaughing Date: 11 Jun 01 - 10:57 PM Anyone for a game of croquet and some mint juleps? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: JenEllen Date: 11 Jun 01 - 11:11 PM Sheesh kat, love to oblige m'am, but they don't let me have mallets anymore. And after that lawn-dart incident (repeat after me...'alleged'..) I'm lucky to be let outside at all. How's about mint juleps and poker? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: alison Date: 12 Jun 01 - 01:20 AM WOOHOOO............ at last a chance to shake my pom poms....... anyone else want to join the cheerleading squad?????? give me a "J" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Benjamin Date: 12 Jun 01 - 02:13 AM I've made it! With my Gary Payton jersey on! Who's up for a fooz ball tourniment? P.S. LEJ, Ichiro's going to light the Rockies ass on fire tomarrow night (and the night after)! BMW |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Jun 01 - 02:21 AM I retired from cheerleading, ever since I got transferred to the Baruchia MunchenGladbach (soccer) side and had the job of shouting 'Give us a B......' Closest I get to sports these days is fishing tennis balls out of my new pond, and practising my solo synchronised swimming in the bath. Can I still get an English beer, rather than some of that stuff that tastes like it was strained through a running shoe? LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Amergin Date: 12 Jun 01 - 02:29 AM damn sports.....he grumbles....trying to keep himself awake at work....stupid jockstraps make too much money....just for playing a game....he looks at the clock again...only a half an hour til quitting time....then I can drive home for an hour....oh boy.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 12 Jun 01 - 03:45 AM Put me down for the underwater Scrabble as I'm not old enough (yet) for the over '80's nudist leapfrog team. RtS (haven't had much exercise since we got the tv remote mended) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: alison Date: 12 Jun 01 - 03:50 AM I've heard of arm wrestling... but boys THAT is just bragging!!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Clifton53 Date: 12 Jun 01 - 09:22 AM Top of the ninth, two outs and McCovey awaits the pitch. Swing, and a hard line drive towards Richardson at second!! Richardson in the air!! It's caught!! The series is over and the Yanks win another championship!! What a play!! Clifton (lostin62andwantsthatpitchback) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Morticia Date: 12 Jun 01 - 10:07 AM Ermmmm.....I've never seen THAT done in Twister before! Leej, shouldn't someone go in there with the vaseline or the fire brigade or something? I only know of one good reason for getting hot and sweaty, and it has little to do with sports socks... but I'll have a drink while I'm waiting *BG*. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: SINSULL Date: 12 Jun 01 - 10:53 AM Oh Crap. Look what they have done to this place. I liked it better when that strange little man used to hide under the table and write poetry. Only one solution...Change the channel! There now! Bubba and Devon are winning. "Get the TABLE!" First one to try to change back to baseball gets the People's Elbow! And I mean it. If you guys are patient, Chyna will be out late in a thong. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Pseudolus Date: 12 Jun 01 - 11:03 AM Whoa a sports bar!! I just had to go home and get changed... I'm now wearing my George Lynch walking cast (also signed by Eric Snow and Aaron McKie!!), my 76ers team photo (strategically placed on an ace bandage!), my Allen Iverson protective Gel-tailbone-girdle (very chic!!), my Dikembe Mutombo pinkie splint, and my Matt Geiger knee-brace!!!! GO SIXERS!!!!!!! Frank whoslookingforawinonwednesdaynight |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: celticblues5 Date: 12 Jun 01 - 11:07 AM Hey, buster, where are your gymnastics and figure-skating displays? R the S - ok, I'm adding "quixo" to the "tic" that's already there, and that just happens to be a triple word score.....glug, glug, glug..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Les from Hull Date: 12 Jun 01 - 11:23 AM You can get all the information you need on current sporting activity by clicking here And while you lesser mortals are digesting that information, I'd like a pint of Tetleys and a packet of Pontefract Cakes, please. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Noreen Date: 12 Jun 01 - 12:35 PM Just noticed the porky scratchings on the card next to the Pontefract cakes behind the bar there- wonder do they do pickled eggs too? (DO NOT introduce Spaw to pickled eggs, PLEASE). A pint of that wonderful Mudcat DT ale please landlord, freshly drawn from the wood.... reminds me of a song I intended to post... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Benjamin Date: 12 Jun 01 - 01:38 PM Sounds like your a true fan Frank! I hope they win the series just for you! Benjamin whossonicssweptthelakersbutdidntmaketheplayoffs!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Matt_R Date: 12 Jun 01 - 03:15 PM Frank, I'm SOOOOOOO jealous!!! I'm a devoted fan, but all I have is a hat!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: gnu Date: 12 Jun 01 - 03:24 PM Some good bball on the go. Enjoyed Stanley's Cup. French open play was okay. But what I found awesome was The British and Irish Lions tour opener against Western Australia. I don't know if this should be allowed. I mean, c'mon, 116 - 10 ? What's gonna happen when their captain is healthy ? BTW, what do you Scotsmen and Welsh think of the name British & Irish Lions ? O'Driscoll and O'Garra et al would still play if it was just British Lions, wouldn't they ? Hey... I just had a thought. Does the tavern TV get Aussie Rules ? I only get the Grand Final - one game a year. If it does, I may have to move in. tightheadgnu |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Jun 01 - 03:42 PM So this game called Rounders has caught on then.... maybe we could sell them Conkers and Dwyle Flonking next..... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: gnu Date: 12 Jun 01 - 04:03 PM OK... what the hell are they ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Lonesome EJ Date: 12 Jun 01 - 04:16 PM I love Aussie Rules football. It's like two semi-organized mobs in a continual melee. I also like the scoring judges in the top hats. Are they supposed to represent British Imperial Authority with those hats? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: gnu Date: 12 Jun 01 - 04:29 PM Semi-organized ?! It's got the leather balls of rugby, the field marshallship of Yankee football, and the pace of soccer. They could lose the judge hats and jackets, though. Kinda fay, really. Speaking of fay, why is it that the coach of a baseball team wears a uniform ? While it was a Canadian invention, I think the uniform thing must have been thought up by a Yank. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Lonesome EJ Date: 12 Jun 01 - 04:50 PM Canadian invention? Baseball?? Abner Doubleday invented it, and he was a New York Yankee in every sense of the term! Now, maybe Aussie Rules just looks like chaos because I don't understand the nuances. Hell, so does Rugby. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: gnu Date: 12 Jun 01 - 05:31 PM Whatever. All I know for sure is that Abner invented the uniform thing. It's a great game, except for the uniform thing, and I really don't care who invented it. We had enough baiting and teasing in the Oh Canada and Only in Canada and... threads to last a lifetime. It was all in good FUN. BTW, any Smarties behind the bar for a snack ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: JenEllen Date: 12 Jun 01 - 05:53 PM ****GREEN-EYED MONSTER ALERT**** Didn't see it posted here, so I'll let the MudCat outta the bag. I'd like to buy a pint or four for our beloved Chanteyranger! Anyone within eye/earshot get your fannies down to PacBell this Saturday. Himself singing before the game! The boys of summer and the boys of song. Wunnerful! Jen (today wearing a Liberty t-shirt because Lobo is my goddess du jour) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: gnu Date: 12 Jun 01 - 05:55 PM Where is PacBell ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: JenEllen Date: 12 Jun 01 - 05:59 PM San Francisco. Giant's game this Saturday. Sorry about that, green-eyed monster can't type worth beans... ~J |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: gnu Date: 12 Jun 01 - 06:23 PM OK... that's baseball, right ? These Giants... might they be telecast ? On what network ? In short... Is there any chance of me seeing Chanteyranger on TV in Atlantic Canada ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: Lonesome EJ Date: 12 Jun 01 - 06:28 PM What's he singing Jen? The Star Spangled Banner?! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Sports Bar From: JenEllen Date: 12 Jun 01 - 06:58 PM Okay, Peter, get in here and fill these folks in!!
The word from himself, BEST OF LUCK!!! GO GIANTS!! ~J |
