You had to replace several keyboards from spitting coffee on them after reading a Spaw post

You try to fart "Oh Susanna" after eating a bean burrito

You post how peeing on your feet in the shower will cure foot fungus and everyone agrees

You think lady ga ga is the name of your neighbor's new baby girl

you post recipes on how to make cheese jelly

your favorite folk club is the hospital ER room

You ask if anyone has any spare 50 cal machine gun bullets to which several other members ask how many you need

Your late night posts involve anything after 5PM

You still call the US the "colonies"

and ... ??

You cannot resist asking "but what is folk music really?" once in a while.

You know how to make text underlined, bold and italicized.

You can make a blue clicky.

You are a REAL Mudcatter if you can make a blue clicky without using the blue clicky link.

I think it would depend on how serious the 'Catter was on either subject...but I don't do 'religious tunes'!...but where music comes from is 'spiritual'.

Good point, nonetheless!!

You not only knew MG, but why MG was MG.
You can sing the blues in Scots Gaelic.
You can name the members of the Layabouts At Large.
You own the complete Blue Plate Special AND the Blue Bottle Special.
You know what is meant by "perfect pitch."
You can discuss, at length, uillean, piobrach, small, Northumberian and other pipes but refrain from doing so out of consideration for others.
You realize, deep down in your very soul, that the trumpet is superior to all other instruments in existence.

A .50 caliber bullet is only good for making key fobs.

If you mean a .50 caliber cartridge we'd want to know whether it's for self abuse of for another acceptable target, and determining the acceptability of another target would require a separate thread, with another thread to argue about what someone said in the first separate thread and then another thread to defend the person from the first thread who was accused by the person in the second thread, all of which of course would spawn at least two or three threads lamenting the excessive number of threads about bullets and a couple more about toooo many threads on the victimization of targets.

And then ...

But if you're a mudcatter I don't really need to explain.

You go into real withdrawal if mudcat or you go off line. "What's happening? What the fuck's happening?"

You start understanding some really long and convoluted posts.

Your identity is stolen and fake IDs of you are made on social networking sites.

Actually, in the Old West ALL guns were sawed in half lengthwise. It was an politically correct measure in the beginning, so that everyone could be a "Two-Gun" shootist and no one would suffer a loss of self-esteem. This, by the way, including the US Army's cannons and Gatling guns.
