I mean, like I don't exist?? Well, I just went in the bedroom and wokw up the P-Vine and said, "Honey, who am I/" An' she said, "What the heck's wrong with you? I'm sleepin'...Can we talk about this in the morning?" Now I don't know if this exchange proves "exhistence" 'er not an' I guess it don't matter much??? Sidewalk Bob(ert) |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Amos Date: 06 Sep 05 - 12:02 AM Bobert: Rapaire would say, "I think, therefore you are." But I say, no. You are, because no-one else can see things just the way you dol. No worries, mate. Besides, someone has to play "White Boy Lost in the Blues" at the Getaway. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Jeri Date: 06 Sep 05 - 08:42 AM Bobert, change your 'mississippitom ' identity back to 'Bobert'. If you're gonna change your identity, remember that it will change your name all your old messages too. If someone remembers just ONE of those thread titles... Of course - you didn't leave some guy named Tom alone with your computer OR YOUR COOKIE, did you? Tell him to get his own identity! If YOU didn't change the name, he might not have messed with your password so you can log in as him and change it back. If you can't get in as mississippitom, Post in the Help forum or here. If Joe doesn't see it, I'll PM him. |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Jeri Date: 06 Sep 05 - 08:51 AM Upon further reading, I believe what happened was miss tom tried to register but didn't log you out, so he just changed your information. If he didn't change the password, you can change it back and he can register for real. Perhaps Jeff (Pene Azul) can split the messages into the right identities. If he DID change the password, you'll need help from Joe or Jeff. |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Rapparee Date: 06 Sep 05 - 08:54 AM I don't know who's got him, but you better bring Bobert back. Cuz if he ain't returned to the p-vine pretty damn quick she's gonna get all upset and you REALLY don't want that. You surely don't, nope. So you better free ol' Bobert right smartly, cuz he's the only one who can keep the p-vine under control. In fact, she'll probably let you off the hook for only a few thousand bucks, but if you wait her asking price will go up up up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Fortunato Date: 06 Sep 05 - 11:03 AM I'm not sure I'd want one at any price. (Bobert that is.) I think he's probably expensive to keep and grouchy when his dinner's late. I think I'll just let Peavine keep him. Free or not. If he comes to the Getaway and doesn't make too much fuss, I'd be glad to hang out with him though. What's in a name? A Bobert by any other name would smell as sweet. Or not. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Joe Offer Date: 06 Sep 05 - 11:19 AM So, Bobert, have you discovered your true identity yet? Are you ready to confess that you gave your membership away to Mississippitom (inadvertantly)? Did you get it back from him? Most of all, are you willing to admit that it is Not Joe Offer's Fault? Hmmmmm? -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: beardedbruce Date: 06 Sep 05 - 11:21 AM Bobert, being superior to all those who might disagree with anything he says, NEVER admits he might have made a mistake. I have been told this many times, by the Superior Bobert himself. And he NEVER lies. |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Jeri Date: 06 Sep 05 - 11:32 AM Well Beardboy, you got that in common! (hehehe) |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 06 Sep 05 - 07:51 PM Well I was right in saying it was all Bobert's fault! I know where the door is... |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Sidewalk Bob Date: 06 Sep 05 - 08:37 PM Well, sho nuff it was my fault... I'm sure it is.. I went down to Misissippi to do some recordin' and was usin' misissippitom's pudder to play pacman inMudville an' tolt him about Mudcat an' tolt him to check it out and so he registered and stole my poor ol' Wes Ginny, NowGinny, butt, an' Joe done tolt me how to fixerate the situation but I don't really have the the energy to try to do it tonight if it involves any heavy liftin' in thinkin' so I reckopn I'll just have to be Sidewalk Bob fir a couple more 'er four days 'til I get back from Wes Ginny where me an' the P-Vine is goin' tomorrow fir a couple days to pack up our olf house... Ahhhh, not exactly packin' up the house but the contentsd so when the movers come on Saturdasy they can take it all off to , ahhhhh, hmmmmmm? (Bobert. We ain't got no room fir al;l that stuff...) Oh yeah, I bought a n old Ford dealership in Luray and gonna stash all ther funrniture and boxes of stuff in there fir now...

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Jeri Date: 06 Sep 05 - 09:37 PM I PM'd mississippitom earlier today because it didn't seem anybody else was doing anything and this bugs me for some reason. Maybe it's thinking about all those Bobert PMs in m-tom's personal page. |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: hesperis Date: 06 Sep 05 - 09:48 PM Well, mississippitom jist gots to name hisself Bobert, an' then Sidewalk Bob jist gots to name hisself mississippitom... ACK! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BRAIN!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Sidewalk Bob Date: 06 Sep 05 - 09:50 PM Not to fear, Jeri... I just spent several days at mississippitom's house in thaxton, mississippi.. heck, I done slept with his dog... Ahhhhh, no we din't... Okay, we di but we like , ahh, din't have sex... I swear we din't... Mississippi Tom and me talked on the phone tonight an' he don't even know nuthin' about nuthin'... Hey, he's got a recordin' studio... That's it an' I spent 3 days there and recorded 27 songs an' slep wid his dog, Jake... Jake is cool but aggrivatin' when the coyotes start their howlin' 'cause then he starts howlin' back an, well, I din't get a lottta sleep... I was gonna sleep on mississippitom's couch but his wife has about a hunner clocks that chime an' carry on and you can't go over 15 minutes before one o' them playin the "Star Spangels Banner" in B flat an' so I electedto stay in tim's travel trailer with the dog... Yeah, when I have more IQ's 'er a teenager, I'll get this thing sortwer out and get to feelin' like my old self... Right now, I couldn't care less... I miss Jake... Sidewalk Bob(ert) |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: John MacKenzie Date: 07 Sep 05 - 04:08 AM Ah Pavement Robert what a corruscating and peripatetic life you lead! May I say as a Scotsman , sleep with dogs if you must but make sure it's a sheepdog. As to your critique on the horological cacaphony which occasioned your enforced insomnia, I'm afraid that when you come visit in Scotland you will also have to sleep in a trailer as this house is like that of Lord Cutglass in Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood. In fact every hour the house rocks with bings bongs chimes and cuckoos, it's a good job the walls are almost 3 foot thick. Nonetheless you are more than welcome to come visit, as are all Mudcatters [no not all at once!] just bring earplugs. Giok Bring back Bobert |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Sep 05 - 05:59 AM OK, Bobert - it took a lot of work, but I think I have it fixed. Go log in as Bobert now, and everything should be copasetic. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Sep 05 - 09:21 AM Little tip.. .log out first!! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Jeri Date: 07 Sep 05 - 09:58 AM What happened was (I'm pretty sure): Mississippitom never actually registered. He likely thought he was registering by changing all of Boberts information to his because Bobert was still logged in. Bobert then couldn't find his name because Tom had changed it. Bobert started a new membership, but All of Bobert's previous postings are showing up as mississippitom's, all of the PMs he sent and received that he didn't delete are now Tom's. The best solution (I believe) is to 1. Get Tom to log out 2. Tom or Joe can send Bobert the current password. He undoubtedly used a real e-mail in the SpongeBob SidewalkPants account. 3. Explain to Bobert how to change the info in the accidentally hi-jacked membership back to his. 4. Explain to Tom how to register. He likey can figure this out since he did such a great job altering Bobert. OR you can have him stroll on over to the Sidewalk account. 5. Perhaps an Uber-Mudgeek could sort out the messages to the proper accounts. |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 07 Sep 05 - 10:55 AM So, Bobert, you mentioned Luray. Here's something I've often wondered. Is there any connection between Luray, Virginia and Luray Pastel dishes? They were made in the 40's and 50's by Thompson, Smith and Thompson. |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Sep 05 - 12:44 PM I have things all set up for Tom and Bobert - but Bobert got lost in the Luray Caverns, and may take some time to resurrect himself. Hey - Luray is a great place to visit after the Getaway. I went there last year, and loved it. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Kidnapped.... From: Jeri Date: 07 Sep 05 - 02:01 PM I see Bobert's back - figuratively of course. Too dark in the cave to see his real back. (Extremely lame joke) In any case, all of this blabbing on my part and no manners. Any guy from Miss named Tom can't be all bad. I always wanted to be Huckella when I was a kid. Had a creek - no river. Anyway, Of course, Tom said he wasn't gonna read BS, so probably will miss this... |
