Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Alice Date: 19 Oct 99 - 10:39 PM Welcome here, Jonathan. Prepare to be distracted from the "factory" job! |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Jonathan Lay Date: 19 Oct 99 - 10:03 PM Well hello, "that" Andrea with the engraved flask attesting to 90-proof vocal powers! Nice to bump into you here at Mudcat. Thanks again to all for the warm welcome! I've been working at the home CD factory (each one individually mass produced), and "When Carissa Came Ashore" will be out tomorrow. The stern section of the New Carissa is still in the sand at Coos Bay, Oregon, being towed by the Salvage Chief. Another tug is standing by to assist. They have been working on that baby for something like 255 days now! |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: skarpi Date: 19 Oct 99 - 04:47 PM Jonathan welcome to Mudcat, I think you will see some threads about some strange things in the coming times. All the best to you Bless , Skarpi Iceland. |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Margo Date: 19 Oct 99 - 12:27 PM Well heck, welcome Andrea! If you're that Andrea, you can sure beller out a sea shantey! And to prove it, you won the shantey bellering contest with "Alabama John Cherokee". Do I have the right Andrea? Welcome either way! Margarita |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Roger the skiffler Date: 19 Oct 99 - 11:29 AM Jonathan, you'll waste more time than you intended here, meet a crazy, compassionate and erudite crowd and a few merely deranged characters, for whom the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed keeps a special Mudcat Ward. In fact as the old saying goes, everyone here is strange except thee and me and I'm sure thee's a bit strange at times. In which case you'll fit right in. Must go, time for my medication! |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: andrea Date: 19 Oct 99 - 01:51 AM High time ye made an honest man outa yerself and joined up (sez I, who did it half an hour ago). Do check out the "No Joke: Mudcat Under Attack" thread while you're here. That's what prompted me to finally join in and send in my shekels. P.S.: Yes, it's "that" Andrea. :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: annamill Date: 18 Oct 99 - 01:09 PM Well Hello Jonathan. Welcome to our wonderful crazy virtual world. I think you'll have a wonderful time here. I have. We always welcome new friends. Ya can't have too many of them. Relax, enjoy and be prepared for some new ideas to play with. Love, annap |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Magpie Date: 18 Oct 99 - 11:44 AM A late welcome from Magpie. You'll be OK here. They're nuts, but nice(as long as you have a wel developed sense of humour) Magpie |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Margo Date: 17 Oct 99 - 03:15 PM Well, I'm glad to see you showed up! I see, Jonathan, that you are hesitant to be crassly commercial, so I'll do it for you! If you all want to check out Shanghaied on the Willamette you can go to hell! (Isn't that a funny link? I've been wanting to do that for some time now!) Or to check out the New Carissa song go crazy! Like my linkage? I can hear Jonathan now, "Uh, Margo, uh, don't do me any favors, ok?" Too late! Margarita |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Jonathan Lay Date: 17 Oct 99 - 12:14 PM WOW! What a greeting! Thanks for the big welcome -- I just read through all 19 pages of this thread. I have been dropping in to the Mudcat site to plunder lyrics for years now, but never explored the site any further. You can blame my being here on Margarita! I see from some of the names I recognize and some I think I recognize that I am in good company here in the Mudcat Forum. As Margarita said, I was in the studio yesterday mixing and mastering a CD-single of "When Carissa Came Ashore," my song about the wreck & savage of the New Carissa. Today our dining room will become a small factory as I hand-make a bunch of copies! Yes, it is true, I am half of the nautical band "Shanghaied on the Willamette," of Portland, Oregon. Since our tagline is "Songs plundered from land and sea," you can see why I am a frequent visitor to the Digital Traditions lyrics database! Thanks again for the great welcome! Jonathan |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Margo Date: 17 Oct 99 - 11:18 AM I'm in trouble now! I saw Jonathan last night at the Bill Staines concert in Portland. I had forgotten he was going to spend time in the studio mixing "When Carissa Came Ashore". He said they spent 5 hours mixing the song. Gads! Anyway, he went directly from the studio to the concert (no dinner) and we left at about 11:00 pm....He's probably sleeping in like a sane person. But I'll tell you guys, I sent him a personal message urging him to make a post because I don't want you all accusing me of making him up! I'm sure he'll be on this morning..... Margo |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 17 Oct 99 - 03:24 AM I think I saw Jonathon having a beer at the Tavern with Eddy, Hiroshi Ogura, and Elvis. Think I'll join them. |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: annamill Date: 16 Oct 99 - 11:51 PM Margarita, where is this person? I would love to welcome him when he posts.. I'm fairly new myself, and I still remember how it was. I'll say "hi" when he gets here. Love, annap |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Big Mick Date: 16 Oct 99 - 10:52 PM Well done, Jeri! I guess I didn't realize that you are ex-military until Sandy Paton told me. You got it dead on, except that you cleaned it up a tad.........hahahahahaha....... Mick |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Jeri Date: 16 Oct 99 - 06:04 PM Ya hang out in the military long enough, ya get pretty good at acronyms. LMFAOSBTIHPM=laughing my f***ing ass off so bad that I have peed myself. Did I win a prize? Jonathan - don't pay attention to anything anyone says around here, and you'll be fine. |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: kendall Date: 16 Oct 99 - 05:50 PM Have you heard Tom Paxton sing his song about Lorena Bobbitt? |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: katlaughing Date: 15 Oct 99 - 11:53 PM Oooooo, paddymac, yer in for it, now! Howsabout we split yer gender, eh? *heeheeheehee*! |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: paddymac Date: 15 Oct 99 - 11:46 PM Hey Kat - well, er, umm, ahem, gee. Well, hell, aren't "female gender" and "split gender" the same thing? at least impliedly? :) |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: katlaughing Date: 15 Oct 99 - 08:44 PM Harpy! You got him good this time! Hey, 'Spaw, if you got it bronzed, there'd never be a need for viagra! ErictheV: Welcome, glad to have you as a new bonafide member, too! And, kendall, I think you've had the baptism by fire, haven't ya? If not, next time you stop in at the Tavern, see Big Mick and the rest of us. We'll be happy to oblige!
Oh, we're a merry bunch of catters
Oh, we're a merry bunch of catters
Oh, we're a merry bunch of catters Ah, Peter, no need to wonder about gender with your name, eh? Now, your comparison of kat/katlaughing to Victor/Victoria is certainly misguided in that the female gender is implicitly implied in the former, while the latter is most assuredly, in fact obviously, a split gender to which you refer. Split personality? Mayhap, but really just a liking of an old moniker, shortened by those who are either keyboard challenged, energy challenged, or whit-challenged; adopting the shorter and not wanting to release the old with its action verb, which really after all, does say it all! Of course, I've found another which resonates to my inner core of values, spiritual link to the other realms, and which the faeries out back at the Kat&Spaw litter box really like, too, so....the choices are so many!
For now, I remain your proudly defiant,

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Barbara Date: 15 Oct 99 - 08:26 PM If you clowns will cut the squawk for a bit, the man might have room to inhale and answer. And if you want to meet him, check out the shanty thread. He posted there a couple days ago. Blessings, Barbara |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: T in Oklahoma (a.k.a. Okiemockbird) Date: 15 Oct 99 - 08:20 PM Good to meet you, Jonathan. I second the vote for the Tavern, the beer is good, and reasonably priced. T. |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: kendall Date: 15 Oct 99 - 08:11 PM Hey Jonathan... in order to avoid all that initial crap, you have to sneak in un heralded as I did! anyway, it's a great place to spend your time. |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: bill\sables Date: 15 Oct 99 - 07:41 PM Hi Mouldy and Eric, I talked to another new catter today Patrich, She lives in our area as well and plays the melodeon. I have invited her along next Wed |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: roopoo Date: 15 Oct 99 - 07:16 PM Hi Eric! Nice to actually get you singing the other night! You will have noticed that you got to do it without a massed band too! See you next week! Jug mudcatters are on the increase: there was another new one last week. mouldy |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Oct 99 - 06:38 PM I am thinking of having the old one bronzed, but I hadn't thought of the auction. The real situation is that size becomes a real problem. I was walking across a river about 40 feet up on a railroad bridge the other day and had to relieve myself. Even though it was a very high bridge, it was damn cold water. And to tell the truth, I really didn't mind the temperature as much as I did the depth of the river (only about 30 feet) which would have been OK except for the 6 foot of mud on the bottom. Girth of course is a problem too. The other day I fell asleep in the woods and in the midst of a very pleasant dream, was awakened to the sound of a chainsaw starting up. So I'm going for something in the 15 or 20 inch range. Oh yeah.........Joe Offer would be happy to stop and say hello but he gets embarassed to be seen with many of the yahoos on this thread, so I'll say hello for him. "Hello" ... Its really Rick's job, but he's a little down with the flu. And rest assured this place is not about chickens...Its about POSSUMS.....Where is your mind El Swanno?---Cleigh is very upset!!! Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: sophocleese Date: 15 Oct 99 - 05:28 PM Jeez Jonathan I'd offer you a welcome but it looks like I'd be behind the fair. Its nice to get new folks stirring up the bottom here. Sophocleese |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Margo Date: 15 Oct 99 - 05:11 PM Gee, I thought Paddymac did a good job, BSeed. MAG is right, Shanghaied on the Willamette is a Pacific Northwest institution. (Willamette rhymes with dammit)After all, the Niel Young Center for the Terminally Screwed does need a little competition...... |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 15 Oct 99 - 05:00 PM Harpgirl, I was going to post about Spaw's new member, but there's no way I can top yours... Old Coot |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: MMario Date: 15 Oct 99 - 04:59 PM Jonathan's only been here a few hours and he's been shanghaied??? Not very friendly, neighborly or even neighbourly! |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: MAG (inactive) Date: 15 Oct 99 - 04:51 PM Jonathan's sea shanty group, Shanghaied on the Willamette, is an institution in the PNW. He will be a fine addition to the forum. Welcome, Jonathan! MAG |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Peter T. Date: 15 Oct 99 - 04:43 PM Sure, Margarita, sure -- we've been Eddified before. We got Eddy for about one hour (probably Katlaughing at a new computer during one of her "new persona" weeks, notice the new split personality name victor/victoria.....), and has anyone heard from him since? Jonathanita, I bet. yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Jack (Who is called Jack) Date: 15 Oct 99 - 04:41 PM Welcome aboard. Remember, we's jes different, not dangerous. |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Eric the Viking Date: 15 Oct 99 - 04:40 PM Hi all, I'm a new member though I've logged on for a year on and off. Thankyou to all the 'catters that make me welcome on a wednesday night at the "Jug". Cheers |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: paddymac Date: 15 Oct 99 - 04:20 PM If 'spaw's wishing for a "new member" himself, maybe he's having trouble giving any body a "hard time". Welcome to the looney bin, Johnathon. Big Mick said it best. This is "the best damn village on the web!" Also the finest resource of sentient fellow beings you'll ever find. Amazing talents and perspectives. |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Margo Date: 15 Oct 99 - 04:09 PM Hmmmm.....new members and bottom feeders. Lots of material here! Yeah, Jonathan will show up, he's working on a J O B today. Something about having to pay the bills..... but he'll be along, I guarantee. Spaw, why would you want a new nose? Hahahahaha Margo-rita |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: harpgirl Date: 15 Oct 99 - 03:13 PM ...if you do get a new one 'spaw, bronze and mount the old one and we'll put in the auction... |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 15 Oct 99 - 03:02 PM Welcome Jonathan! (do you guys think he'll show, or do we have another Eddy situation on our hands?) |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Davey Date: 15 Oct 99 - 02:14 PM I'll add my welcome as well, Jonathan... It's truly a wacky bunch of people, but you soon learn who you can ignore *BG*... |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Rick Fielding Date: 15 Oct 99 - 02:04 PM Welcome lad. You're in good company. Rick |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Vixen Date: 15 Oct 99 - 02:02 PM Dear Jonathan-- Please excuse the ribaldry--they are *mudcats* after all--and you know what appetites bottom-feeders pander to. They really are a cool community of cyber-cats. El Swanno--what's up with the chickens? Is the *swan* feeling neglected? V |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: katlaughing Date: 15 Oct 99 - 02:01 PM moonchild, I think part of LMFAOSBTIHPM is Laughing My Fecking Arse Off So Badly That It Hurts (whatever PM is!) See what you've 'spawned, Margo!? **BG** |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Dave Swan Date: 15 Oct 99 - 01:53 PM Welcome to the madhouse. It's a great place: Chicken soup, rubber chicken, tuning your chicken, chicken songs, advice on raising your chicken, hugs and comfort when your chicken goes bad. It's all here. Welcome, D |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Little Neophyte Date: 15 Oct 99 - 01:50 PM Hi Jonathan, I'm new too. Really kind folks. They are very knowledgable, helpful and whitty. I'm learning not to take things too personally. And when I do, the Mudcatters come around to teach me 'the ropes' and comfort my sensitive feelings. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: bbelle Date: 15 Oct 99 - 01:41 PM Welcome, Jonathan ... You've joined a wonderful "family!" Big Mick ... explain the alphabet soup, please ... moonchild |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: DougR Date: 15 Oct 99 - 01:41 PM Welcome to the wacky world of the Mudcat, Jonathan! I'll meet you at the tavern and buy you a drink of your choice. Just don't fall into the jello pit! DougR |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: katlaughing Date: 15 Oct 99 - 01:41 PM Jonathan, welcome, any firend of Margo's is a friend of....well, of Margo's!**big grin** Alright, I think you've had enough razzing, just let me say welcome to the most incredible cybersite on the whole www! We truly have a village here and new members such as yourself are always welcome. Don't be shy, jump right in, and be sure to bring your sense of humour. katlaughing |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: MMario Date: 15 Oct 99 - 01:38 PM Jonathan - c'mon over to the Tavern. Mick is feeding us! And the women are huggable, but ask politely.
|
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Margo Date: 15 Oct 99 - 01:32 PM Hey Catspaw, you're supposed to give Jonathan a hard time, not me! This is perfect, he'll get home from work and have to make a post. Pat, did you get the photo I emailed? Margo-rita |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: KathWestra Date: 15 Oct 99 - 01:13 PM Welcome, Jonathan! Pay no attention to that last post, which was full of the blarney you'll come to expect from its source. *grin* Seriously, this is a great bunch of folks, good for both fun and serious discussion, and an amazing source of information on many, many things. Looking forward to hearing your "voice" among them. Kathy |

Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Oct 99 - 12:28 PM Geez, I wish I had a new member...............oh well... Welcome to Mudcat Jonathan! A great place full of song and story and assorted characters (like Margo) who tend to foul up the site for those serious minded people like myself. Actually, I fear that the fact you have come here even knowing Margarita does not bode well for any worthwhile contributions you might make. Frankly, its people like Margo who are so lacking in talent and compassion that make this such a boring place for the rest of us. Again, her recommendation does not put you in good stead here. Why don't you just leave now? But if you decide to stay, you'll find an intelligent, caring, loving, and knowledgable group of folks as anxious to learn as they are to help.......except Margo of course. So jump in wherever you choose and post as often as you like. You have a chance here to prove yourself and overcome your association with someone who ranks as a true pain in the ass around here. Don't blow it........ Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Please welcome new member........... From: Big Mick Date: 15 Oct 99 - 12:21 PM Jonathan, welcome to the best damn village on the web. You will love it here. Please take time to use the search engines. there is the DT which is at the top of this page in the blue box. It is here that you may search by keywords of titles to find lyrics to songs. You can also use the quicklinks to search the forums. You can search by title or keywords of the subject, or you can search by usernames. Enjoy yourself, contribute,..........oh, and loosen up the shorts. They make you crabby like that. LOL, Big Mick |

Subject: Please welcome new member........... From: Margo Date: 15 Oct 99 - 11:55 AM Hi fellow Mudders! My friend Jonathan Lay just officially joined the Mudcat! Jonathan is the one I had mentioned who wrote the song about the New Carissa (soon to be released) and who kindly accompanied me when I sang at the sea shantey contest. So welcome Jonathan, and BE SURE TO GIVE HIM A HARD TIME! Love, Margarita |
