Subject: Spaw's Spew From: GUEST,Dr. Laura Date: 05 Jan 01 - 03:05 PM Reading Spaw's spew, and the flotsam and jetsam that comes from others in the Mudcat inner-clique, I'd suggest that Spaw, and all others in the Mudcat inner-clique, are in need of help. Don't make me come down there guy - Bert |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Lepus Rex Date: 05 Jan 01 - 03:39 PM Hmmm. Whining about an 'insider-clique,' and targeting a popular 'catter? You wouldn't be a dickless loser, would you? What do you want? A hug? ---Lepus Rex |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: mousethief Date: 05 Jan 01 - 03:41 PM Physician, heal thyself. |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Ebbie Date: 05 Jan 01 - 04:45 PM Waaaaahhhhh! I'm not in the Mudcat-inner-clique but I've done my share of flotsam-and-jetsamming. What about me? I insist on my share of the help. Waaaahhhhh.... Spaw, who loves ya, baby... (Yuck. I never liked Kojak!) Ebbie |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: wysiwyg Date: 05 Jan 01 - 05:02 PM Stew? You bet! Serve it right up! ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: mousethief Date: 05 Jan 01 - 05:10 PM Guest Laura, if you got something on your shoe at Spaw's house, it might be something Cletus spewed. I think Spaw's spewings are limited pretty much to hot air. |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Ebbie Date: 05 Jan 01 - 05:18 PM In order to avoid such contamination myself, I really should know more about Spaw's household. I know Cleigh (too well!) but just who is Cletus? And the Reg boys? What am I missing out on? This is what comes of not being part of the Mudcat inner-clique. Ebbie |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: mousethief Date: 05 Jan 01 - 05:22 PM I thought "inner-clique" was a medical condition. Cletus is his ... um... ferret? weasel? cavy? something. Occasionally Spaw turns off his cookie and lets Cletus post as a guest. He doesn't spell well. Alex |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Ebbie Date: 05 Jan 01 - 06:24 PM Thanks, Mousethief, I know what Cletus does, I just don't know what he is Homo sapiens sapiens? Or a lesser or greater form? Remember 'This is my brother, Larry. And this is my brother, Larry. And that is my brother, Larry'? That's how I picture Cletus and the Reg boyz. I expect if I did a little digging in the files I'd find Spaw's explanation- but can you imagine requesting a list of Spaw posts! My computer would lock up, for sure. So, Spaw, when you wander in here, and if it doesn't hurt their feelings after all this time, would you introduce your friends? And tell us how they came into your lives? I suspect the only spewing would be over the various keyboards... Ebbie |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: katlaughing Date: 05 Jan 01 - 06:39 PM I was NOT going to post to this load of crap, but since you all are being so nice trying to turn it into something useful, you will find a complete explanation, by Spaw, if you click here. It's a good read and, yes, Ebbie, I suspect some will wet themselves or their keyboards before they are done! luvyaSpaw...kat |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: GUEST Date: 05 Jan 01 - 06:46 PM hilarious for those who are 'in' on the joke I suppose, childish nonsense to the rest of us |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: SINSULL Date: 05 Jan 01 - 06:49 PM Cletus is a sweet soul when not led astray by Paw and the Reg boys. He occasionally attends Mudcat Concerts and insists on entertaining everyone with "blue blazers" but he is harmless and quite loveable. Keep him out of the fried possum and white lightnin' if he drops by for a visit. Poor boy had a terrible Christmas with assorted injuries. I wanted Spaw to ship him down to NYC for some sophisticating but he seems afraid to let him out of his sight. Maybe we can get him out on a Mudcat adventure. Bet he can play the mouth harp. |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: GUEST Date: 05 Jan 01 - 06:51 PM and there's not a mudcat 'in crowd' ??? |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Big Mick Date: 05 Jan 01 - 07:22 PM Yep, I think there is an "in crowd" here. The only thing that pisses you off is that in the entire friggin' world you are about the only one not allowed in. Dammit Spaw, we gotta loosen up those damn qualifications, there is someone who doesn't qualify............ Mick |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Lepus Rex Date: 05 Jan 01 - 07:22 PM Christ, guest. So people know each other. When you enter a restaurant, and see a group of people having a good time at the next table, do you sit there, alone, quietly sobbing, because it's just not fair that you're not sitting with them, having a ball? I'm guessing that there are two reasons that you are excluded, in all aspects of your life: 1. People know each-other, often in real life. This is because they are social. You, on the other hand, are a sociopath. It's different. 2. You're a sad, bitter, self-pitying, unlikable little fuck who does nothing but piss and moan about what an unfair hand life has dealt you. I mean, do YOU even want to know you? I thought not. But I shouldn't say anymore. You're probably just sitting there with a hard-on because so many people have acknowledged your pitiful existence. "Oh, it's just like having friends, I THINK!" So, whatever your mental problem is, why not take it and your serial-killer-type lifestyle, and piss off? (No offense) ---Lepus Rex |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: SeanM Date: 05 Jan 01 - 07:23 PM Why, yes GUEST, and you're it! By constantly creating these troll/idiocy based threads, laced with lackluster guest monikers and bizzare personal attacks, you've created quite possibly the only exclusive 'clique' on the 'cat. Congratulations! Thank the gods you're alone! Now just go away again. M |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: GUEST,Kernow Jon Date: 05 Jan 01 - 07:24 PM I choose to remain a guest but I must admit it's clique I'm ashamed to belong to at times. Guests whoever you are just take the time to look back, There are no hidden agendas or inner circles. Just look back over the threads to understand the references. It isn't the 'catters fault that you haven't been here as long as some and may not get the old jokes or the references. If you look up Spaw you'll find at times he even takes the trouble to link connected threads to make life easier for us! KJ |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Lady McMoo Date: 05 Jan 01 - 07:30 PM Whoops...misread that as "Stew" and thought it was another interesting recipe thread... Sorry mcmoo |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Ebbie Date: 05 Jan 01 - 07:31 PM Spaw: Even worse, I've put other parts of the story on at least 9 or 10 different threads!!! I should have started another thread to add story to a long time back. Spaw, this might be a good time. I finally got through those links! Thanks, kat. (Although one took me to a wheat site(?) Spaw has an interesting, if appalling,life. I had no idea that the Reg boyz were Rick's relatives. Well, you know what they say about family. Sigh I will now go meditate. Or medicate. Ebbie |
|
Subject: Lepus Rex From: GUEST,Chris C. Date: 05 Jan 01 - 07:33 PM Lepus Rex, Guest suggests there's an in crowd at Mudcat. You respond by calling him/her "a sad, bitter, self-pitying, unlikable little fuck" with a "serial-killer-type lifestyle." I am shaking my head in disbelief. CC |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Lepus Rex Date: 05 Jan 01 - 08:13 PM Chris, I wasn't responding just to that comment. I was responding to Guest's two-day-long campaign of insults, whines, and attacks. Maybe you're not familiar with Guest's activities, or maybe you are. If not, maybe you should be. Thanks. ---Lepus Rex |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Catrin Date: 05 Jan 01 - 08:29 PM Is there an 'in- clique' at Mudcat? I'm sorry, I hadn't noticed. I became a member about four months ago (as opposed to some people's three or four years) and found everybody very welcoming and helpful. Oh well, I suppose I'm just incredibly naive..... |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Big Mick Date: 05 Jan 01 - 08:38 PM Nope, Caitrin, you are just incredible. I have enjoyed your posts since the first day you walked down the street. Thanks for being here. Mick |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Catrin Date: 05 Jan 01 - 08:48 PM Errm Mick - I had better come clean - people often confuse me with Caitrin (the one who makes cookies? - I have been asked for the recipe many times!). I joined up using my real name, not realising there were so many with very similar names (caitrin catlin....) I would really like to think your comment was addressed to me though! Cheers, Catrin |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Gypsy Date: 05 Jan 01 - 09:01 PM Gee, i guess i'm a moron. Thought that the opening comment was just a facetious joke type thing. On second thought, i'll continue thinking that. Makes the world a little brighter place. |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Big Mick Date: 05 Jan 01 - 09:13 PM Well, CATrin, I just went and did a check on you going back to July 8, 2000. It still applies. Thanks for being here. Mick |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Catrin Date: 05 Jan 01 - 09:30 PM Oooooh mick! I feel fuzzy all over - I knew you thought I was somebody else - but I also know that I'm OK too - so it could have applied to me *BG* Cheers, Catrin |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Big Mick Date: 05 Jan 01 - 09:52 PM Absolutely, m'dear. I went back and looked at a number of your contributions. You are giving of your time and knowledge and have a great personality. I am glad you are here. Having folks like you around is exactly why our little village survives in the face of it all. Thanks for being a Mudcatter. Mick |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Catrin Date: 05 Jan 01 - 10:06 PM Now I KNOW that's directed at me - ooer, definitely fuzzy all over - it's 3am now in UK, so I will have sweet dreams tonight (or this morning) The mudcat has kept me going when I've been low, and given me a lot of laughs - and due to two mudcat gatherings in the uk during the past few months, I have met several catters in the flesh. - and had some brilliant nights! I've also managed to persuade several local catters to come to my local folk club (singaround) and, without exceptiion, they have turned out to be brilliant company! Cheers, Catrin |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: catspaw49 Date: 05 Jan 01 - 10:18 PM Yeah Catrin, but I still think he was hoping for a cookie!!!(:<)) You need to put Caitrin's recipe on your bookmarks and just give it out!!!! Well here we are again........Maybe its the weather that does it or whatever. Lepus, you crack me up sometimes! That "hug" line is priceless. To all the many hundred members of the Mudcat Inner Circle Big Blue Click".......Set your Secret Decoder Capos to B36,R11,C98,D66,D41,S12,O18,L9,D28,W55,G23,and E4 to get a secret message from Cletus. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 05 Jan 01 - 10:26 PM Well, usually I do my own research (i.e., have bought a Rick Fielding CD from Mudcat so I can look into this deity thing -- I figure it's worth $19 or so to find God). I gotta draw the line at inspecting spew, though. Spaw seems just fine to me: Decent sod in that graphic way of his. Helpful, interested and slightly weird. What could anyone ask? So, Spaw, do you have a spew CD? Sarah |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: kimmers Date: 06 Jan 01 - 12:37 AM Hmmph, my secret decoder capo appears to have gone "pphht" and failed to function. That's what I get for buying the black-market version instead of saving up all of the boxtops like I was supposed to. Seriously... I've only been around a few months, and am slowly starting to get to know a few of you. I've had a blast. And Guest and others like you: Spaw's mix of bizarre humor and deeply insightful comments were one of the factors that made me decide to stick around. One moment I'd fall out of my chair laughing, the next moment I'd be profoundly moved. His eloquence is shared by many 'Catters, but his humor has a way of drawing in newcomers. Sure 'Catter humor is full of inside jokes, but it doesn't take long before all of the little pieces start to click. |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: John Hardly Date: 06 Jan 01 - 02:05 PM Reasons I consider myself in the "inner-clique" (believe it or not) 1. I try to post where I can be; a.helpful b.encouraging c.insightful (rare indeed) d.funny (even rarer because, face it, I'm kinda warped). 2. I try to participate in the song challenges (6 of the last 7) 3.I review the threads to which I post so as the thank or respond to other's kind help. 4. I LOVE music! 5. I participate in PalTalk--which means I try to listen and encourage/feed-back as well as play/sing. 6. I log on to this site more than once a week. 7. I don't assume that everyone is hanging on my every post. I've seen almost everybody's posts get stepped on from time to time. (I still laugh at LEJ's suggestion to conspiritorily pick someone to a. always post almost exactly the same information as them (in a subsequent post) and then b. have a friend acknowledge your post, not the victim's--wicked plan indeed!) 8. When I read the caliber of writing that goes on here I realize that I am not necessary--but it sure is fun to participate!!!! 9. and finally...I'm wise enough to have caught on that some other 'catter is likely to post a "...uh...JH...I never considered you part of the clique *BG*" following this declaration. JH |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Morticia Date: 06 Jan 01 - 02:25 PM We've had this discussion many times before.....if the Mudcat has a clique or inner-circle, it's one comprising of hundreds of people and is exclusive only in as much as most of us publish our names to go with our opinions/wisdom/advice/drivel.....that's it, that's all there is.Every now and then some poor, insecure soul pops his/her anonymous head above the parapet and whines about the percieved clique,has some gutless little dig at whoever they see first.....usually Kat, Rick or Spaw and then sits back and basks in the 'attention'. The saddest thing IMO, is that he/she gets it.Take a look at some of the really worthwhile threads like Wes bringing Brendan home, it got twenty something responses.....now look at the Rick thread and this.....what do we learn from this, boys and girls? You get a good response if you are mean/gutless/anonymous here.....so sit back, there will be lots more.{End of rant} |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Pete M'Gurk Date: 06 Jan 01 - 02:32 PM Hi, Gang! I'm a very new member (as of yestiddy) and am still learning about the features and functions of this (in my 'umble opinion) fantastic website! I have already found the other members to be very supportive, helpful and complimentary (See other postings under my name and the comments that follow), and in my brief perusal of various threads, I can see that I have a lot in common with many of you. I think Spaw is a very funny person, by the way. Anyone who can't find entertainment value in what he writes is very likely suffering from some nervous disorder, such as Chronic Cranial-Rectal Insertion. Are there any of you Catters who live in the Corpus Christi, Texas, area? I'm interested in finding places here that offer folk music events and such - instead of Tejano stuff. Pete |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: GUEST,Cliqueless in Cleveland Date: 06 Jan 01 - 02:37 PM Everytime the word Clique gets thrown around here it's meant to imply a small group of mudcatters who exclude the majority. Wake up and smell the macrame! If this is a clique, then it's the largest one I've ever seen existing in ANY group. Spaw, Peter T, Bert, Rick, Kat, Sorcha, Mick and countless other greybeards CONSTANTLY chat, interact, welcome, and embrace newcomers. The word clique only comes up when some nasty piece of work wants to stir up trouble. Get real Cliqueheads! |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Morticia Date: 06 Jan 01 - 02:40 PM Uh oh......you called Kat and Sorcha greybeards.....I'm telling!!! Boy,are you gonna be in trouble!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 06 Jan 01 - 02:44 PM You are right on all counts, M'Gurk. Well, good luck in Corpus, too: I'd feel sorry for you, except you're close enough for a weekend jaunt to Houston, where there is some folk/blues/jazz/whatever. I'm in Amarillo, where we have both kinds of music: Country and Western. Have, after almost 20 years, located two people who will play folk music with me without trying to talk me into forming a C&W band. I have to drive to Dallas or OKC for a decent jam session. (Well, okay, once a year there's a good one in Pampa.) Sigh... Sarah |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: GUEST,Cliqueless & Clueless in Cleveland Date: 06 Jan 01 - 03:02 PM Morticia, please don't tell them! I wasn't thinking! Kat, Sorcha, and you Morticia are vibrant vivacious veteran Vixens! Now Kendall and Art, they're greybeards, who welcome the teenagers, and I love them all. CCC |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Morticia Date: 06 Jan 01 - 03:08 PM Jeez, CCC, you think you can buy me off with a few flattering phrases? You are, of course, quite correct in that assumption .I'm still dubious about the word 'veteran' but I'm going to assume you're referring to the amount of time we spend here, yes? Ok, maybe your ass isn't grass after all :)But I'm only speaking for me, Kat and Sorcha could still catch up with you! |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Amergin Date: 06 Jan 01 - 04:42 PM Always knew Kat had a grey beard.... |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: R! Date: 06 Jan 01 - 05:41 PM Like Catrin, I've only been here a few months. I haven't participated that often because I'm still learning my way around. Any group will have a central core of people who play a larger role. We all don't always get the jokes. That's life. One of the things I've enjoyed about Catters is that there's a lovely cameraderie and a great sense of welcoming. OK, that's two things. Now I wonder if I'm a witless pratt who didn't recognize that I was being conned OR if the guest is some sort of violent hyenia? hopingyoulikemereallylikeme, Rowana |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: catspaw49 Date: 06 Jan 01 - 05:52 PM Rowana, how can we not like anyone who has "outlaw reindeer?" Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 06 Jan 01 - 05:53 PM Rowana, thou art not a witless pratt; believe me, if these weren't good folk, I'd've recognized it and disappeared early: I am socially paranoid. Guest has some real "issues" to work through; most of them seem to be adolescent emotional ones, if you isolate and read his/her postings throughout some of these recent flame threads (like the one we all hope will die). Guest's postings in that one read like a teen-age crush reaction. I hope he/she finds some help, or manages to get a grip somehow. Meanwhile, like Old Faithful, carry on, Spaw. The Mudcat Masses are counting on you to keep it light here. Sarah |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Little Neophyte Date: 06 Jan 01 - 05:57 PM I was a total elitist snob before I joined the Mudcat. Lowering myself to join an inner clique was quite the humbling experience. :)Little Neo |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Dave the Gnome Date: 06 Jan 01 - 07:02 PM What's wrong with cliques???? Surely it is what keeps us super beings apart from the plebian masses? Hang in there Catrin, we may even get a Mancy clique going and stop the foreigners infiltrating.... (Good job somone knows I am joking:):):):)) Happy yew near DtG |
|
Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Firecat Date: 06 Jan 01 - 07:09 PM I'm not sure if I'm in the clique or not, but NOBODY slags Spaw and gets away with it! Not while I'm around! WARNING! WARNING! Yorkshire temper about to be lost!!! VERY ANGRY FIRECAT! Weeeellll, I'm loyal to friends, relations, etc., etc. :-))))))))))) but :-@ (if that's the emoticon for angry) |

Subject: RE: Spaw's Spew From: Banjer Date: 06 Jan 01 - 08:54 PM So, 'Spaw singularly spews stuff, sending some songsters speeding suddenly somewhat serruptitiuosly somewhere safe? Sad, sad state. Seems somewhat senseless. |
