Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Alice Date: 30 Sep 99 - 09:19 PM LEJ, do you have any ideas for a drink using whiskey and cinnamon schnapps? That's all I have in my cupboard as far as alcohol goes. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: MAG (inactive) Date: 30 Sep 99 - 09:09 PM Is that 150 proof Jamaican rum in those frozen drinks? The kind that gets you blue-blind paralytic? Lemma at 'em ... |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Alice Date: 30 Sep 99 - 09:02 PM so, alison, do you have any party games planned for this birthday bash? ... like pin the tail on the possum? I don't think I'm up for jello wrestling, but I'll take photos to document whatever festive events are planned. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: MAG (inactive) Date: 30 Sep 99 - 08:42 PM Dear Alice, there was a thread awhile back on how -to- get-him-out-of-your-system; can't remember what it was called; in the meantime, let's sit on the bench here and sing "Your sweet and shining eyes." (and drink salty margaritas with Fernando.) MA |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: annamill Date: 30 Sep 99 - 08:00 PM Hello everyone!! I have always felt that it should be the parents that get the gifts on someones birthday, so Max, here is a great big hug and kiss for making such a wonderful and successful child. OOOXXX Come here and let be get you something to drink, Alice. I've been there a couple of time myself, and I've caused a little pain myself. It's never easy either way, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Cry for a while then go out and enjoy your freedom. Dance with a few and have fun til the one who dances perfect just with you comes along. No need to be lonely til then. Meanwhile, you're welcome to come and visit with us anytime you'd like or feel a need to have friendly warm company. May I have a Tanqueray and Tonic, no lime, please? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: jon a Date: 30 Sep 99 - 07:44 PM Shotgun barrel appears around the corner, followed by large,long haired and bearded individual who appears to be clothed in a destroyed straight jacket; Is he here?... Gint, where is he?.... Not here? good it's safe to stay a while and try one of these Frozen mudkitty things, Max,I'm with Ferret, and it's got him so choked up he managed not to misspell anything in that last posting! Alice, so sorry to hear of your news, have a drink or two and feel the warmth of mudcat, and if you need a cuddle I can recommend cats, a quick stroke can take some of the sting out of a lot of sorrow. I'll join with the toast to mudcat, a great place with great people, Cheers everyone. Jon |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Ferret Date: 30 Sep 99 - 07:18 PM Many thanks Max for all the work for the cat. and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUDCAT and many, many more. all the best to all of you ferret |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: bbc Date: 30 Sep 99 - 05:47 PM Alice, I really sympathize. Other than losing companionship, it's awful to lose your regular dance partner. I did ballroom & high-level round dancing w/ a man for 6 years. After we parted, it hurt me for years (& still does, when I hear certain songs. It's not the end of the world, but it's sure no fun! Let's all the girls get together for a good hug! love, Barbara P.S.--Catspaw, as flattered as I am by Mom of the Year, I'm concerned that you must have too much time on your hands if you can think up lists like that! ;) |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Alice Date: 30 Sep 99 - 05:44 PM ok, who put the trick candles on the cake... the flames keep lighting as soon as Max blows them out. Now Spaw is breathing helium from the balloons and serenading Cleigh... this certainly is shaping up to be a grand time! |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Dave Swan Date: 30 Sep 99 - 05:29 PM Alice, Cowards end up living the life they deserve. I'm so sorry you were hurt by this creep. Remember that you've got a lot of friends who share in the belief that he should be subjected to hundreds of paper cuts just before falling into a vat of lemon juice. While Barry Manilow plays in the background. 'spaw, besides everything else you are (although right in the head isn't one of them), you've become the encapsulator of the 'cat. How do you remember all those threads and references? Well, I guess ingrown hairs encapsulate too. It's vintage 'spaw. Funny, touching and right on. I'll volunteer to monitor the b'day cake. I know it's only three candles, but when you think of the intention and love and energy which reside in this place, you know they'll burn bright. Here's a toast my friends, to Max and his elves and fairies who keep the lights on at the Mudcat. Friends be upstanding: Max, and the Mudcat, Many Happy Returns of the Day. E.S.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: MMario Date: 30 Sep 99 - 04:31 PM oh hell - alice - I hoped you'd take the meaning that you could choose to leave the bugger trapped in the damn circle...which I personally think he deserves...

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Mían Date: 30 Sep 99 - 04:31 PM I don't know why half those words suddenly went bold, but hey it made me sit up a little taller and wake up. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Alice Date: 30 Sep 99 - 04:28 PM Mario, just read your story, and now I am crying! Oh, dear, and this is supposed to be a PARTY THREAD!! Don't mind me, folks, carry on. I've been through much worse, but there is a hope that some day I will experience the devotion some of you have found with your love. - alice Now party on... don't let me rain on this parade. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Mían Date: 30 Sep 99 - 04:26 PM Alice, that is sad and makes me think of a tune that goes with these words, most of which i have forgotten, but this should be a sing-along, so someone grab a gitar and shall we serenade the lady at the top of our lungs: "well i'm busted, disgusted and bent all out of shape...talk about the low-down blues, I've got 'em..." now, Spaw, having tried to look up "lamarca" in various dictionaries and so forth, I have yet to establish exactly what type of flamingos are high-stepping around this joint. So far am partial to "Lamarckism" to explain the word and hoo hah there have certainly evolved some pur-rity stir-range critters in here... |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Alice Date: 30 Sep 99 - 04:20 PM We weren't living together, just dancing partners and exclusive dates for 4 years, and I thought of him as my significant other, and he seemed to reciprocate. He was the guy named Norris (remember the thread on what does Norris mean?) and four years certainly made me think I deserved more than a furtive move out of state without notice or comment. Well, who wants a coward anyway, right? |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: MMario Date: 30 Sep 99 - 04:18 PM For Alice: hope this makes you feel better not worse....
Once there was a Rogue, a Scoundral, and Scalawag;
Now the Daughter, Being her Father's Favorite, Had long dreamed of a Marriage of her own choice, Not for Gold, Not for Influence, But a Marriage of the Heart; and for Love.
And the Lady did Refuse the Betrothal, as She did Not believe the Knight's Protestations of Love; Having Heard of His Reputation amongst the Ladies of the Court,...and their Maids,...and the Kitchen Wenches,... and the Washer Wenches,... and the Milk Maids,... and the Goose Girls,... and ye see the general drift of things, now do ye not?
But her Father did Insist upon the Marriage, and though the Lady did Beg, and Plead, and did Cry most Piteously, her Father would Not release her from the Bethrothal. So the Lady had caused to be Cast about the Knight an Enchanted Circle, imprisoning Him Within.
Now it was that the Circle could only be Broken in Two Ways. Th Knight could Renounce any Claims upon the Lady or Her Hand in Marriage, forever;
Or, He could state his Love for Her in Such a Manner that She would Truly Believe Him.
Now the Knight thought long and hard Upon his answer, for though his Reputation may have been a WEE bit exagerrated, it Was Well Deserved. And if the Truth be Told; When he had Entered into theBetrothal, He had thought much about the Gold and Lands he would be receive and the Influence that the Ladies Father would be Granting him at Court, And Very Little upon the Lady Herself.
But as he Pondered, the Knight did Find within his Breast a Desire for that Which the Lady did Desire; a Marriage of the Heart, and For Love.
This then, was the Knight's Reply:
Whither thou Goeth, I'll go.
Put your Hand in my Hand, Dear. *pause* So I ask you? Did she believe him or no? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Alice Date: 30 Sep 99 - 02:36 PM Hi, alison and all. I'm not much of a drinker, but I need some distraction to raise my spirits... so I'll join this crazy party. My significant other suddenly took a job and moved to another state - this is real, not virtual, folks, - and I had to pry it out of him... he didn't have the guts to tell me about it until I sat him down and asked him what was going on. So, well, there went my tango partner.
Sing me a song, someone, I need cheering up!! alice |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: MMario Date: 30 Sep 99 - 12:24 PM We could always sing the "Volga Birthday Dirge" - that's in the DT, right?
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Bert Date: 30 Sep 99 - 12:13 PM With all these so called songwriters around it's about time we had our own bloody birthday song. Gimme a Lord Chesterfield it's ten past beer time. T in Oklahoma, hmmm, strange handle, hmmm, I think you've got too many spaces in your name. You're really the Tin Man!!! |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: T in Oklahoma Date: 30 Sep 99 - 12:05 PM We can't sing "Happy Birthday" unless this joint has an ASCAP license. Once the sun gets over the yardarm I'll want a stiff one. Blockade, if you have it. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 30 Sep 99 - 11:52 AM Max, you gotta dress up as a mudcat and jump out of a banjo shaped cake,just like the logo! But, pal, seriously, ditch the tiara, kills the perm! |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Max Date: 30 Sep 99 - 11:49 AM I came to make sure the decorations match my dress, um, I mean Tuxedo. Light blue with ruffles and white patent leather shoes. I volunteer to jump out of the cake, but Big Mick's gonna jump out of a giant vat of black vile stuff. Where's my tiara, um, I mean crown. This is gonna be great. Let me see if I can add a feature for the festivities. It wasn't as hard to give birth to as it is to raise. This three year old of mine sure has a mind of her own, and a temper, sense of humor, opinion... Well, at least she's house trained. Hey, everyone's got to kiss the catfish on their way in the door. On the lips. Mud is thicker than black vile stuff. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Roger the skiffler Date: 30 Sep 99 - 11:13 AM I heard she didn't care where she came from as long as she came first.[get Uncle 'Spaw to explain this to you, children, now run away and play while we wrinklies party]. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Larry B. Date: 30 Sep 99 - 11:08 AM I heard Fluffy might not appear at all; there was some debate about where you cme out of a catfish-shaped cake. LB |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Roger the skiffler Date: 30 Sep 99 - 10:57 AM I heard Fluffy Mound was booked to appear, so I hope it's a big cake. But maybe Koko will be jealous. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern -episode 13 The Party From: Roger the skiffler Date: 30 Sep 99 - 10:51 AM Thread creep warning (in the Tavern?). While on my recent sojourn on Samos it was St Stavros day so everyone called Stavros had a nameday. We were on a beach with a Dutch family who had two young children and had got to know a local fisherman who was called Stavros. When his boat beached, the parents pushed the children forward and they went up to the boat and sang "Happy Birthday" in English! Slightly surreal mix but it worked! Stavros much touched, free fish for the family, who shared a lager or two with the fisherman (not the children of course!). Any way, party on guys! The conga line starts over by the jello pit, pass me one of those flamingo legs, love the coating, not Col Sa**ers, more Col Parker- King Creole sauce with added sequins, guitar-pickin' good, very more-ish (Scotty Moore-ish). Now I've got the verses, anyone want to hear me do "Last Train to San Fernando"? You do? Oh, you want me to take it not sing it. Well it was worth a try, I'll add my kazoo accompanyment if Wolfgang will sing it with Bert & Steve P. |
