Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: crooner Date: 27 Aug 99 - 02:56 AM Speaking of statistics, does anybody remember about 3 years ago they did a survey of people asking who would give up TeeVee entirely for the rest of their life for a million dollars, and 25% (twenty five per cent) replied that they would not give up their TeeVee for what today will free you from ever working again...Is that indicative of something? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Margo Date: 26 Aug 99 - 11:24 PM bbc, you're a musician, so IMPROVISE!!! Yes, I know an addiction when I see it, and to quote Cole Porter, "I got it bad and that ain't good". Well, maybe it's not so bad. Hey guess what!! I'm a finalist in the Northwest Sea Shanty writing contest!! I am amazed that I got this far. Have to perform in Tacoma Sept. 18th. Should be fun. I hope some mudders will be there, Margarita |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 26 Aug 99 - 10:15 PM Alice, Perhaps you should have offered Craig a tune by Cheryl Wheeler entitled "Is it Peace or is it Prozac?" on her CD Mrs. Pinocci's Guitar. A wonderful little ditty. Roger in Baltimore |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: annamill Date: 26 Aug 99 - 08:11 PM I found my favorite story by Archie. I hope you enjoy it. and I hope the copy comes out right. the lesson of the moth i was talking to a moth the other evening he was trying to break into an electric light bulb and fry himself on the wires why do you fellows pull this stunt i asked him because it is the conventional thing for moths or why if that had been an uncovered candle instead of an electric light bulb you would now be a small unsightly cinder have you no sense plenty of it he answered but at times we get tired of using it we get bored with the routine and crave beauty and excitement fire is beautiful and we know that if we get too close it will kill us but what does that matter it is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while so we wad all our life up into one little roll and then we shoot the roll that is what life is for it is better to be a part of beauty for one instant and then cease to exist than to exist forever and never be a part of beauty our attitude toward life is come easy go easy we are like human beings used to be before they became too civilized to enjoy themselves and before i could argue him out of his philosophy he went and immolated himself on a patent cigar lighter i do not agree with him myself i would rather have half the happiness and twice the longevity but at the same time i wish there was something i wanted as badly as he wanted to fry himself archy

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Alice Date: 26 Aug 99 - 07:24 PM take your Prozac, Craig (I searched the DT for Prozac, none there, but I did find Valium for you) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: bbc Date: 26 Aug 99 - 06:56 PM Sound advice, Peter. I need to be more circumspect in who I tell about moonlighting as a cyber-barmaid, as well. Mom took it upon herself to inform all my Southern Baptist relatives, without further explanation. There goes a lot of prayer time that could be better spent (like praying for my job security!). Speaking seriously for a moment, though, the knowledge & experience I've gained this summer, working on the web pages, can only be for the good. bbc |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: katlaughing Date: 26 Aug 99 - 01:52 PM Annap: I had a book of archie & mehitabel! I loved it! Oh, and I guess I am doubly sick and twisted, cause not only do I Mudcat, I also do the NYX's in ink!HeeHee!! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: annamill Date: 26 Aug 99 - 01:39 PM My boss gave me hell, bbc. I can only come to Mudcat at lunch time and my honey gets awfully possesive at night. It's real hard and I'm starting to break.... If the 6% that do the web are ill, what about all the rest who do TV constantly?? They must be really bad!! Or even worse, those who read, for heavens sake!! I've seen people doing crossword puzzles on the bus!! Imagine! I'm talking NY Times puzzles..in INK!! Sick! Some of us need mental stimulation after dealing with the nonsensical ravings of lunatic minds (Poetic license) all day. A way to get the hell away from the insanity. Hi Emily. I don't think we've met. Nice to meet you. I love your name. Emily Rain. Talk about long sentences, has anyone ever read "Archie and Mehitobel(?sp). It was a cartoon series in the old Chicago Sun a long while back. Archie was a transmuted poet into a cockroach that wrote poetry. Great stuff. I'll go look it up tonight at home. He couldn't type capitals or punctuation because he would climb to the top of the typewriter and jump down on a key and he couldn't hold down the shift and jump on a key. Mehitobel maintained that she was, in fact, Cleopatra, transmuted into a cat. Again, great stuff. Love, annap (hopelessly addicted) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: catspaw49 Date: 26 Aug 99 - 10:43 AM Just tell them you've been having a deep discussion with Possum blowers, Jello wrestlers, hokey-pokey dancers, tiple players from the "Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed," and an environmentalist who dresses up herons to look like Waylon Jennings. Hmmmmmm............better keep your job at the Pub. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: MMario Date: 26 Aug 99 - 10:38 AM *gasp* You don't mean her *shudder* PERMANENT FILE, now do you? A fate worse then death! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Peter T. Date: 26 Aug 99 - 10:19 AM bbc, just be sure and don't tell them that you have been pasting pictures of possums and possums blowers on the Web. Oh sure, you could probably explain it, but it will go in your file anyway. yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: bbc Date: 26 Aug 99 - 09:40 AM I may have to admit that I have a problem. This summer, I was s'posed to revamp my entire school program, so as to be prepared for September. Instead, I went to a couple of folk music weekends & a get-together at annap's, planned & hosted a Mudcat party, & picked up the photo & profile pages. I have had a really wonderful time. Now, school is 1 1/2 weeks from opening, I've just found out my principal (who liked me!) has quit to take another job, & I'm wondering what I've done!!!!!! As others have stated, the creativity, warmth, & general looniness of you folks has got me in its grip & I have no desire to be loosed. Sure hope I can maintain enough self-control to keep a job! best from NY, bbc |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: katlaughing Date: 26 Aug 99 - 12:38 AM Jen et al: there were a couple of other threads like this earlier this year here and here I am not sure, but I think we all penned a few impromptu songs on them. kat |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Craig Date: 25 Aug 99 - 11:13 PM There's got to be another thread, there's just got to be! As he sits there with his hands shaking, breaking out in a nervious sweat with bulging bags under his burning eyes. Looking for more pictures of Alice, katlaughing, and the other Women of the Mudcat. What me addicted? No I just forgot I need to take my prozac. Craig |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: jon a Date: 25 Aug 99 - 07:36 PM I dont know about addiction, but this is certainly a place and people I want to visit whenever I can. Jon |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Jen Date: 25 Aug 99 - 07:27 PM Someone should write a song about 'Mudcat Addiction' and use the names of the threads in the song... Jen |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Jeri Date: 25 Aug 99 - 05:40 PM Kat, I was just trying to whine (whinge) subliminally, in an inoffensive but smart-ass manner. I know Max is working his tushie off, but I still miss the chat room a lot. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Lonesome EJ Date: 25 Aug 99 - 04:59 PM Hey! Just read through the thread, and I noticed that Gargoyle unintentionally insulted Emily. When she called him on it, the @%^&*#$ actually apologized! I just wanted to say, congratulations on some uncharacteristically civil behavior, Garg. There may be hope for you yet! LEJ |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: katlaughing Date: 25 Aug 99 - 12:53 AM Very Kool, Jeri! Or, Max! Does that mean the chat room is back on?? I am off to go see! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: SingsIrish Songs Date: 25 Aug 99 - 12:26 AM My goodness! I thought I was hallucinating! Then I realized there was something buzzing across my screen..."chat room" in Jeri's message above! Addicted? No way! My problem is that I forget to go offline to write my emails most of the time!

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Aug 99 - 11:38 PM Too subliminal.....cool though. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Max Date: 24 Aug 99 - 09:51 PM No (Yes). |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Date: 24 Aug 99 - 09:48 PM Say Max, did you manage to sneak the subliminal messages in with the last update, or are those still in the works? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Max Date: 24 Aug 99 - 08:52 PM (My plan is working perfectly.) Oops, did I say that out loud? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 24 Aug 99 - 08:45 PM Okay, Bert--it looks worse out of context. I have been married to the same woman for almost 34 years now (and no, she's not a Muddie--but she is a therapist). --seedwhowithhiswifetaketurnsdrivingeachotherupthewallandwhoapologizestokatlaughingforstealingherschtick |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Margo Date: 24 Aug 99 - 06:51 PM Hey, Mudcatting is part of what brought me out of depression and off of anti-depressants |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Tiger Date: 24 Aug 99 - 06:25 PM I know for a fact that 85 percent of all statistics are made up. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Jeri Date: 24 Aug 99 - 06:00 PM I looked at that test and came to the conclusion that I'm a complete bum. I thrive in disorder, love anarchy, and exemplify entropy. The fact is I spend so much time in here because I've come to love the people who frequent this place and love hearing what they have to say. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Bert Date: 24 Aug 99 - 05:08 PM bad seed, I take it that your wife is NOT a Mudcatter. Bert. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 24 Aug 99 - 05:02 PM Emily, you know how it is: the perfect riposte never occurs to you until much too late. It was this morning before I thought of this: Ya know, psychotherapists are a strange bunch: take my wife--please! :o) --seed |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Addiction From: Neil Lowe Date: 24 Aug 99 - 05:01 PM ....my hat is off to the APA for once again telling the public something that the public probably already knew...how do these guys justify their paychecks at the end of the month? |
