Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Rick Fielding Date: 13 Dec 00 - 01:48 AM Soph, I can see the problem the parodists might have in doing an impression of you. T'ain't anything to do with perfection, just that nothing parody-wise jumps out. You just don't seem to have any (publicly) annoying habits or "beat it into the ground" positions. I've got tons. Someone who's into proper sentence construction could have a field day with my habit of using brackets. My tiresome references to Quentin Crisp having all the answers, would qualify as well. Oh, and the harping on playing "proper chords", "investing in the music", and always improving your accompaniement skills...those are rife for parody. Not to mention using.....dots...when I can't instantly think of the proper punctuation. My suspicion of religion and outright hatred of authority come into play now and then as well....oh, and I still know practically nothing about the computer! Sheeeit! Next to that you ARE perfect! Rick |
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Little Neophyte Date: 13 Dec 00 - 06:25 AM Soph, maybe you should make an appointment with my psychiatrist. I am quite sure he would find lots of decent material for your parody. Sometimes you just got to dig deep thats all. Little Bonaphyte

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: sophocleese Date: 13 Dec 00 - 08:14 AM Thank you, thank you. I have been struggling and losing sleep with this question for the last couple of days. I should have remembered that I had merely to describe the problem and the kind loving people at Mudcat would be falling all over their feet to help me. Again I am deeply moved by the willingness of Mudcatters to go that extra mile and make sure that no concern is left unanswered. Thank you, thank you, I really mean that. |
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Jeri Date: 13 Dec 00 - 01:15 PM Well, nobody's really done one of me except me. I'm fairly sure I can think of a lot of things about my writing I would parody if I were someone else. Maybe I'm just no fun... |
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Jon Freeman Date: 13 Dec 00 - 01:25 PM I think Rick has answered the why Jeri. Some people do have more obvious traits than others and I can't really think of anything to do with you - wish I could - I guess I could use Jeriatric and call you an old fart ;-). I think I have ran out of ideas now anyway. I have been: Am Urgin, Malcolm Douglas Fir Tree, Dave Ostracised, Neon Bonniphyte, Humerous Buttock, MuTed, Rambles (1st appearance), Bill D'a Bonfire and Soap_and_Cheese. Jon |
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Little Neophyte Date: 13 Dec 00 - 01:30 PM Oh you are a blast Jer! I know for a fact you are a parody haven. I spent an afternoon and evening with you in person, remember? I'll go ask my psychiatrist what he thinks I should write about you. Bon |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Juri-rigged Date: 13 Dec 00 - 03:04 PM As soon as I get done digging a hole to China in my garden and dump those pesky slugs down it, I will find that tune you newbies are looking for, after I make sure Kendal's megabytes don't take a chunk out of AntiMatteR. Oh, by the by, I've just written a new tune, a real killer which will knock Bonnaphyte's white sox off, then we can examine the balanced view of why Spaw wants her to wear them. This is in addition to my practising on a gazillion fiddles, toning up my voice, and imparting practical knowledge on the whole. In my spare time I analyse critical situations with 8,000 words treatises on Satan's minions. Juri-rigged |
Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,ALlusion on the Yellow brick road Date: 13 Dec 00 - 03:13 PM I reckon I am the FAIR ONE and can beat the bodhran outta any of you, even tho ya are me mates! After visiting 250 different bodhran and flute makers in the "old country", I finally settled on 80 slightly different tunings for over 40 flutes, bought myself 30 new harps, enough to make sure you are all green with envy, so ya remind me of home, and managed to visit every trad musician ever to live in the most beautiful scenery imaginable, while packing my children on my back. Simultaneously, I took National Geographic-worthy pictures of the highpoints, sitting up in the wee hours at the pub downloading them for digital delivery to share with you lot. I reckon it is to me da's credit and Rosie's that not once, while I was there, did I click my ruby red slippers and say, "There's no place like home." Now that I am back on the Yellow Brick Road, though, I am looking for those slippers! It's all just an ALlusion to me! |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Mouse in the Chateau d'If Date: 13 Dec 00 - 03:25 PM Oh come off it, MrzyDotes, let's all be friends here and there's no need to get ridiculous. Maybe you need to go take a walk around the block or something. Some of my best friends are pagans. I get along with everybody. I'm so magnanimous even I can't believe it.

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Jon Freeman Date: 13 Dec 00 - 03:41 PM Mrzzy..., The input box for the name is limited to 50 characters. It looks to me as if the is the size of this field in the datbase. My guess is that when it was decided to prefix names with "Guest,", this input box should have been reduced to accept only 44 characters to make a maximum of 50 in total. Jon |

We worship at the feet of the Heat Goddess and partake of only the clean waters which have cycled through Her sacred sites. Furthermore, we suspect Mr. A'm a gonna git you, is casting aspersions because he is just a young whippersnapper who needs his arse kicked not into the next county, but out there to that big ole LONELY Isle of which poor Hulaboy speaks. Perhaps then he might learn the proper respect for our quite YOUNG and Beloved Mistress! Ms. Kelpie, Matriarch in waiting |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: GUEST,Yawning Date: 14 Dec 00 - 06:59 PM Hi there, Catters! My ancient joints are creaking this evening. I am so excited! I just recieved my first package from the Hair Club! Well, anyways, I hope you all have your notepads handy, and your creative juices flowing, 'cause you're gonna need them for our next challenge!! This challenge was sent to me, the great and holy Queen of The Mudcat, by my subject Amoose. Naïve Detective Suspects Fair Play CHICAGO-- Phil Kelly, a naïve detective with Chicago's 15th Precinct, suspected fair play Monday in the shooting death of local businessman Arnold Haver. "The shocked expression on the victim's face leads me to believe that he received some tragic news and subsequently committed suicide," Kelly said. "The fact that the bullet hole entered through his back shows just how determined he was to kill himself." Kelly also cited the misspelling of Haver's name in the suicide note and the fact that the left-handed victim was found with the gun in his right hand as evidence of the incredible stress he was under before taking his own life. Now my dear, loyal subjects, you all know the prize for winning this Challenge. The winner gets to guess my real age! So go for it Challengers!! Yawning |

Subject: RE: Total BS: Self? Parody From: Peter T. Date: 15 Dec 00 - 08:52 AM And I look down onto the frozen pond, which the wind has rippled into an imperfect mirror, and I see the deep December sky, and I think -- is this pond image a parody of the real? -- an amusing distortion -- or a travesty? -- one of the many inadequate representations of that immensity arching above us, but this one a failure of Nature herself -- or perhaps even a burlesque? -- not the low form of burlesque, but that form of burlesque that followed each Greek tragedy designed to send the patrons home laughing at their own part in the vast comic conspiracy? Or, as Traherne says, is such an image an image of ourselves, distorted reflections of the ideal that we carry about with us; or, to be more pointed, like the crumpled photographs of forgotten loves that the lonely carry about half-forgotten in their wallets, to be rediscovered only occasionally when, upon receipt of a new wallet on Christmas day, the shards of one's official life and one's unofficial secrets, are shaken out from the old and transferred to the new? yours, Peter T. |
