GUEST,sorefingers

Of the dozens of people who were members when I joined only a couple are still around these days.

There are more than two dozen people on this thread alone who were members or named GUESTS when you started posting.

No one is making any "demands". A lot of people are making a very reasonable request. And most of the people to whom that request is addressed comply with it, otherwise the place would be crowded out with nameless GUESTS. It'd be a plague rather than a nuisance.

Hey Gibson!

You enjoy being as rude as you possibly can to me, do you?
You weren't so fucking smart last week, when you had to go for your Jack Daniels and your cold shower, along with your little weiner dog, who has a habit of finding himself in the kitchen at parties.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

You seem to have a well developed genitalia/digestive system fixation, from what I can gather.
Did you have a trouble-free childhood?

GUEST Shlio,

Re your 18 Apr 04 - 05:48 PM


You seem to be a sensible and considerate person, so I am confident you will be able to figure out something that will be agreeable to all relevant parties.

Dunno, McGrath of Harlow. But he/she must be different from GUEST 18 Apr 04 - 02:47 AM , as he/she has not responded, so I assume he/she has pissed off as instructed.

It's safer to treat each unidentifiable GUEST as different from the others. They have to be told to piss off individually, if appropriate.

Because the anti-guests are the ones expending all their energy caring how people post, which is something they can't control.

Of course, it's pretty obvious this forum is for time wasters like myself, so no harm is done. It just is so amusing watching all the pompous asses in this thread, pontificating about their superiority to a group of people they purport to not care about.

Kind of like 12 year old boys obsessed with masturbating.

Ok, so there was one earlier posting back in October 2001 under the name "sorefingers" before you dropped back to being a named GUEST, but that still leaves 20 posters on this thread who were active at the time.

What's more, of the 20 people who welcomed you to Mudcat, only 6 of them have not posted this year. In fact, most of those who have posted, have done done so this month.

Sorry to nit-pick but sometimes impressions can be mistaken and mistakes are often taken as fact.

Guest (All I guess, because you can't tell one from another, so innocents get dragged in with the douche bag ones):

I had a great childhood. I'm still living it and enjoying it.

Your comebacks to me were not even close to being clever. Go contemplate the ring around Uranus.

Martin Gibson: You are as a breath of Spring; a zephyr of long-forgotten mountain air; a morass of metaphor in an alliterative sense. Welcome back.

Hey, GUEST that's having a go at Martin--bite me!

Mr Doug Ok ... lol your researching is impressive and I am delighted that the Muddie is still a folkie's site. But you are still way off about when I began posting. Back in those wild Muddie days we had many names you don't know such as the other Doug?? See it ain't as easy as you think.

Also I suspect but cannot prove that some of the current GUEST postings are real members or exmembers having a giggle. Seriously when a person gets on this site and poses as an authority on the origin of folk songs/tunes, or an expert in some folk stuff, some of us out here who know the facts may express a little doubt, even if only in the form of a bloody good laugh.

Sometimes members take themselves too seriously in the company of wags, wits and clowns which in life survive by amusing not informing!

Okay, I have to ask. Living in the U.S. all my life, I have come across the word "wag" but I've never really been sure on the definition. What is a "wag" exactly, and where did the phrase come from?

I know all about clowns. They usually end up running the country.

I have a theory about this Brit slang that no one here gets, and it's got something to do with wanking your wag.

British slang is certainly not too colorful.

Wank and wag sound like something off a boring PBS show that was imported from the BBC.

I knew it! We all know that Martin Gibson isn't your real name - but you've just given us a clue - you are really Roger Ebert!!! What are you up to Roger, giving some new material a try??

Date: 20 Apr 04 - 03:51 PM

Well, Ron you are right, Martin Gibson is not my real name, but as far as guitars go, everything else is a wannabe.

Naw, I'm not Roger Ebert, but I find he likes the movies I like.

Movies are so much like folk music. It doesn't have to always be about art or tradition. It can also be about entertainment.

Well put Martin!   I think we do forget about how important entertainment is and we ignore what makes us feel good.

Too true, as I have ignored Little Hawk's goat for what seems like a century.

The word 'wag' means 'comic' 'put on' which I picked up from old movies /media.

Also since 'Wanking' is a place in China, Wank must be nearer.

A Wanky, then, is an American person who cannot say 'y'. Or in comic circles, a Yanky with a speech impediment is a Wanky, which all makes perfect sense when you know that America is half way to China if you are in Iceland.

GUEST Date: 20 Apr 04 - 10:50 AM - "time wasters like myself" - is it fair to assume that that applies to all the other people posting as unnamed GUESTS?

Makes life simpler to assume that to be the case.

If it works for you, then Let It Be! (whisper words of wisdom, Let It Be)

(it definitely works for me - I've been called worse things than a "time waster" and come to think of it, those worse things I've been called never bothered me much either)

Let It Be.

Well..I was following this thread...but the more I read, the more I think this is simply a small tiff between a Mbr. and a specific Guest. I'm only saying this because I spent afew good yrs as a Guest, very much appreciating the info. and lyrics I received from Mudcat.....Slainte!
