As an example Rapaire aka by other derivations, wrote about the new green Iditarod which was going to go all electric despite the difficulty in obtaining 107 miles of extension cords.
His styles could be for Steven Wright, Robin Williams or Mel Brooks.
Without qualification Rap is a primary force of nature, perhaps a rapton. Not to ignore the serious sides his material is typically a fresh surprise.

Then there is gnu who paints a vivid picture be it hard landing an Otter float plane or undergoing surgery while awake.

Amos' epic lyric poem about a horse race, or the train crash.

I never understood bi polar until I read a thread about it by member whose name I have forgotten.

The lighted fart that formed an burned image of Jesus on a garage door, by Spaw.

The irascible Chimp Chongo by Little Hawk.

The cat photo caption threads.

Gnu's You Tube Gems

I cant recall the title, but one boobie tread, ahike back, was titillating (no, not the tit/bird one).

Because I'm so downright humble, I can't answer the question.

There's only one contender- and it justifies the existence of Mudcat in itself...

Campsite at Drumcree

OK you can add its derivatives.

I wish there was a Mudcat Cooperstown or a Retro Hall of Honor where one could relive or discover those stories.

Its all about the stories be they 3 sentences about fishing with a little tyke or pages about the lessons and surprises in life.

There really is only one - The Unimagined Village thread. It developed a life of its own and became the most hilarious thing I've ever read on Mudcat - or probably on the internet. Something between League of Gentlemen and The Archers written by lunatics.

I met one catter once, years ago and the most emotional significance he attributed to mudcat was the special people he was privileged to get to know there. HE WAS speaking OF rick FIELDING and his recent passing.

I was so uptight that day, trying to appear "normal" I couldn't play the mandolin or even the autoharp let alone sing. Now that Ive mellowed to near rot, I regret not joining in or being a better sounding board.




I have made searches and was surprised how easy it is find and even trace posts decades old.

If possible keep em comin.

Mudcat will be 20 years old in October. We will be approaching 4 million posts about then...most of them are still available. I still look up things, only to find that *I* posted them 10-15 years ago.

(BTW... it is often easier to post a couple of key words in Google and add "mudcat" to the search terms. It can be faster than the internal search.)

...and posts by Rick Fielding were great, but getting to meet him in person was really special- and to see him play! Wow...

Its like being in Yellowstone compared to a painting.

Being around a force of nature is better than reading about it.
