Last seen headed towards Iceland last October - he'd been through a significant Detox and may not have been quite aware of what he was doing.

After this weeks' earthquake, a couple of people have expressed their concern as to his condition and whereabouts. He was rumoured to be heading towards Orkney but so far this is unfounded. That little pup could be anywhere!

So...


Where is Mudcat Jack?!

And who really cares? He's a plush toy for gods sake....I guess it must be a Brit thing.

I was quite roundly 'blessed out' for allowing a VERY responsible young lady to take him for a 'nap'. Oh, we don't ALLOW the children to have Jack....give me a break here. He's a toy hand puppet. It's not like he is actually a living being and going to die of malnutrition.

OK, it's a fun game, but let's not be too serious about it.

I do hope that no-one's been irresponsible enough to let Jack go on a plane without a suitable escort. Goodness only knows what might happen...

Before his detox last autumn, he probably carried all sorts of nasty bugs and things.... he'd been to Iraq for heaven's sakes! THAT'S why we don't allow young, impressionable people to take him in hand. Limpit has had her vaccinations and Morty as a godmother - she's beyond redemption.

And I have to point out that of all the people who have asked me where he is (why have I suddenly become his keeper?!), none of them were Morty, Phot or Pixie of Doom....

So far as I am aware, Sorcha, no one is being 'serious' about this but perhaps you are right, perhaps it's a Brit thing.

Azizi - some time ago, a Xmas Secret Santa sent me a delightful porcelain Jester - which I was tempeted to allow to be sent around teh world to wherever a Mudcat frequenter lived. I thought better of this madness, as the doll was fragile.

It appears that Mudcat Jack is not so fragile...

The prcess of sending some toy/doll around the world has been around for some time, but has become more popular since the Internet. One of the original ideas was that each subsequent recipient would send a postacard to the original owner.

Azizi, if ya check back up the thread to Socha's post, you'll get the literal picture, and if you put Mudcat Jack in thread search you'll find that this goes back quite a while. It might have something to do with the effects of mad cow disease over there accross the pond...

Foolestroupe & frogprince, thanks for putting me-and others I would imagine-in the know.

Re: Sorcha's comment "He's a plush toy for gods sake", I thought that since she said "It's a Brit thing" that 'plush toy' might be a British colloquial expression for a man who plays around...

I guess sometimes what is said needs to be taken literally.

As can be seen from his time with Phot Mudcat Jack has been known to encourage the natives to all kinds of excess. In a contry where there are Trolls I warned Skarpi not to let Jack and the
Trolls get Brenavin and a cd player but would he listen.

Sorcha my dear you are right he is a stuffed toy we all know that but real life can be pretty crappy for some folk so let us enjoy a bit of harmless nonsence.

It all depends entirely on what he is stuffed with.

Rapaire in the case of Mudcat Jack drinkables need to meet only 2 criteria
1 is it wet?
2 is it alcoholic?
if the answer is yes to both of the above ,he'll drink it

No, no, no, no no!!!

He's been through a significant period of detoxification.. he spent weeks and lots of money at an exclusive clinic on the south coast - his system had a complete flush and he spent ages drying out - don't get him drinking again!

Morty - I've been trying to send you an invoice for several months now but it keeps coming back 'not known at this address'. Phot and Pixie have moved house and not told me where they are now.... who is responsible for his bills?
