Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 11:46 AM Herga Kitty: Open a thread on past members & tell us about them. We all leave a mark, however great or small. It would be nice for some to see and good for those who knew them. |

Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 12:27 PM Jacqui.c: I stand saluting! Sucked me right in. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: jacqui.c Date: 01 Apr 07 - 12:31 PM Jim - that one caught a number of people when it first came out. It really is priceless! |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 12:34 PM There are two types of folkies, I guess. I'd be the champion of lost causes & jumped to her rescues. Others? Aahh ..... not so much! |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 12:36 PM Mind you, I think I already proved that with my "Why not start a thread" thing. One born every minute, you know. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Herga Kitty Date: 01 Apr 07 - 12:40 PM Jim Lad - it's probably good that you remind people of why we're here... Kitty |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: GUEST,Jenny Tayliah Date: 01 Apr 07 - 01:19 PM Hi everybody I am liking the way this mudcat welcomes intercourse between many people. In my country we often have a coming together at our massed debate evenings where we discuss whether folking traditions should be taken by hand or should be oral. We also have percussion workshops and I try my best to beat the skin with expert hands but my folking partners say I'm just a slapper. Of course I get my own back on the accordion workshop because there is nobody faster on buttons than me. I'm sure my offerings will have aroused your interest (I can almost imagine your fingers working furiously to join this massed debate) and I look forward to many entries this evening. And remember - size doesn't matter, I will gladly receive all your posts whether long or short. Jenny |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 01:22 PM Damn Swedes! |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: katlaughing Date: 01 Apr 07 - 01:34 PM Welcome to all newbies. Join in and don't mind the trolls. Also, please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions or problems with the site. All the best, kat in Colorado |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: GUEST,Jenny Tayliah Date: 01 Apr 07 - 02:36 PM Dear katlaughing I take very exception that you think that some of us are just teasers. I will assure that I am always welcoming new members. And your knowledge of my language is poor - the female of "troll" is "trollop". And you know that we are not fooled by your silly and rude anagram name - katlaughing = I, lank hag, tug. This is not place for sex innuendo - I am shocked and will not be pleasuring you again with my frequent inserts. I now leave mudcat with this thought: "Give heart, give mind, give head to the musicians who keep folk all alive". I'll think of you when I next fiddle, The short-lived pseodonym, Jenny |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: fat B****rd Date: 01 Apr 07 - 02:42 PM There are times when I'd love a new member. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 03:12 PM Jenny Tayliah: I don't think that may have came out the way you intended. A wee retraction may be in order. Sincerely Jim |

Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Balsto da Loteya Date: 01 Apr 07 - 03:28 PM Pull the other one, me old cocker, Giok. Forgive me if the English is not so good, sometimes I am using the automatic translator which may not express my heartfelt sentiments in the full right manner of hands across the sea and under the table.

Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: GUEST,Friend of Jenny Tayliah Date: 01 Apr 07 - 03:41 PM On behalf of Jenny: Jenny is a very sensitive pseudonym (got it right this time) and is upset by all the suspicion. Nobody knows more than me that she has her knockers but I also know she doesn't take things lying down. She has told me that she will not post again this year. But I've enjoyed her company on this special date. A friend of Jenny (and mudcat). |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jeri Date: 01 Apr 07 - 04:15 PM Balsto, for one (on sale), I hope you kept track of all the little slips you made whilst practicing to fill out the membership application. We collect those, you know. When things get hard for new people, we remind them of other's pre-app isms. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Balsto da Loteya Date: 01 Apr 07 - 04:27 PM Jeri dear. I am so sorry, what means pre-appisms? This is not in my dictionary, I have an English one from Oxford, perhaps you are not from Oxford? I am interested you collect things, with me it is different recipes for salty cod pieces, which are very interesting to a fishmonger's son as I am. My father used to mong fish all his life. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jeri Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:02 PM The term uses the Lating prefix 'pre', meaning 'before'. The 'app.' is the abbreviated 'application', and an 'ism' is, among other things 'a usage'. We all say some funny things, frequently accidentally. People never let you forget these. A pre-app-ism is something which stands long after you've forgotten the reason. You wanted to fill something out, and you probably did, but the pre-app-ism lingers. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Peace Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:06 PM Priapism is one indicator of severe spinal injury/trauma in falls or MVCs. Also "Priapism is a prolonged and painful erection that can last from several hours up to a few days. The priapismic erection is NOT associated with sexual thoughts or sexual activity. What happens is that blood flows into the penis, but is unable to drain as it would in a normally flaccid penis. Considering that the penis provides little room for blood to circulate, the blood becomes stagnant after a while, acidifies, and loses oxygen. Without oxygen, the red blood cells become stiff, and even less able to squeeze their way out of the penis. Very few cases of priapism are without an obvious cause. In most cases, priapism results from one of two things: certain medications or medical conditions. Under the category of medications, there are two primary culprits. For one, penile injections used to treat some forms of impotence can cause priapism; however, this usually only happens when a man decides, on his own, to increase the dosage. Second, psychiatric medications, such as anti-depressants, seem to cause some cases of priapism; however, how these drugs affect priapism is unclear. The second major cause of priapism is certain medical conditions and diseases -- generally, any that cause the blood to thicken, or cause red blood cells to lose their flexibility and mobility. Sickle-cell anemia and leukemia are probably the most common conditions that cause priapism." |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Balsto da Loteya Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:10 PM Thank you kind Jeri. I think I understand now. You know, I am young, so when I fill something out the pre-appism does not seem to linger for quite as long as my friends wish. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Georgiansilver Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:10 PM Come again? |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Balsto da Loteya Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:15 PM I am a little bit confused. Mr(or are you perhaps a Mrs) Peace seems to be talking about the penis here. I joined this forum to talk about folk music and meet some friends abroad. Is there no person on this forum with responsibility to take such letters and throw them in the bin of rubbish.If we have nasty plant in the garden here in Portugal, we take in a strong right hand and pull it off. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Peace Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:18 PM Nasty plant if it involves so many of you. But don't worry. Be happy. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:26 PM I think I woke up with a little spinal injury myself, this morning. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: sapper82 Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:27 PM It had to be something like this thread today!! |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Peace Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:29 PM No comment. (About a dozen come to mind and I have NO COMMENT!) |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: katlaughing Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:29 PM M'thinks we've been had. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Peace Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:30 PM I wondered about that Jim Lad. With you cleaning out your drawers and all . . . . |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Balsto da Loteya Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:34 PM Honourable Mrs Kat Laughing As we say in Portugal, speak for yourself dear. Respectfully Balsto |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 05:35 PM Had a few snow showers this morning. Even He is having a wee laugh! |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Georgiansilver Date: 01 Apr 07 - 06:03 PM I have had so many laughs during the course of this spoof thread....love it!!!! |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Balsto da Loteya Date: 01 Apr 07 - 06:11 PM Georgian Silver I am sorry that you find me funny, is it the fact I cannot speak English so good? I just want to meet some good people to talk about folk music, but some of you seem to think this is funny joke.What is your favourite singer? I at the moment am liking the English boy Seth Lakeman a big lot, also Beyonce. Do both of these singers appear in the folk magazines in your country? |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Georgiansilver Date: 01 Apr 07 - 06:37 PM Balsto...you are perhaps the funniest thing that has happened around here for some time and on April the First...which is a good time for people in your country yes? You have made me laugh so much I have almost wet myself...(spilt my cup of coffee). Please stay around and help us all to lighten up a bit and enjoy being here. Best wishes, Mike. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: GUEST Date: 01 Apr 07 - 06:42 PM sometimes you just have to spell spme things out for some people. Balsto da Loteya = "Balls to the lot of you" today is April 1st. Geddit ? |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 06:47 PM What? |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Balsto da Loteya Date: 01 Apr 07 - 06:48 PM Mr GUEST You know what we do with unwelcome GUESTS in the mountains of Portugal? I tell you what we do. We kill them, and feed them to the cod. You call me "Balls" huh? I feed those bits of you first. It is matter of honour. You try this on Mudcat, soon you have no trouble with the GUESTS. Simple. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: GUEST,Jenny Tayliah Date: 01 Apr 07 - 06:57 PM I could not leave after seeing Balsto's last post. I think you are confusing English boys with the lady-boys of the middle east. Sethla Keman is my uncle and famous for his/her white hair although we think it is not genuine. I have other lady-boys in my family and we often get together in southern regions were we have some relations. Uncle Sethla will fiddle with family members and perform the broom dance until everybody tries to get their leg over. Balsto - I don't laugh at you, I think we could make beautiful music together. I hope one day I play with your Portugese bagpipe and you can sing to my G-string. Jenny |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jeri Date: 01 Apr 07 - 07:02 PM I thought the Portuguese mountain cod were extinct! |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Apr 07 - 07:09 PM Guest:6:42 PM- Thanks for the translation. Now I can meditate about smething else. Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Georgiansilver Date: 01 Apr 07 - 07:12 PM So many people actually feel for the thread...it has been a pleasure to follow. Thanks whoever you are for starting it. Best wishes, Mike. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: katlaughing Date: 01 Apr 07 - 07:20 PM Hmmm....I wonder if there is money to be made in exporting Rocky Mountain Oysters to Portugal. Now that I may have a local contact, I'll have to look into it. I'll bet they were good enough for Portugee Phillips! Thanks, Balls!! |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jim Lad Date: 01 Apr 07 - 07:26 PM Rocky Mountain Oysters? I'm allergic to nuts. |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Rapparee Date: 01 Apr 07 - 07:31 PM Welcome to the madhouse. It's a mixed group here, and if you venture "below the line" into the non-music section say hello in The Mother of all BS Threads (click on the little 'd' by the number or it will take you forever to load it). I play trumpet. What do you play, if anything? |
Subject: RE: Welcome to new member please From: Jeri Date: 01 Apr 07 - 07:35 PM I'd heard the mountain cod were all trapped for their fur. I just Googled them though, and found out a small school of these fuzzy fish were found about 4 years ago by Wysteria Finch-Zoltan a transplanted English pagan, while she was performing a ritual. Now, says the article, the cod lurks in Wysteria's maze. It's nice to know that, while some things die out when they're made to be so obvious to people, these harmless creatures can flourish in a safe place, out of sight of people out of their minds. |
