Subject: Welcome a New Member From: Clifton53 Date: 14 Jan 00 - 12:11 PM Howdy folks. I'd like to introduce my older brother Rob-O to all you mudcatters. He is not only my brother, but my best friend and confidante, although we live half a country apart. I know he will be welcomed here. Clifton |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Neil Lowe Date: 14 Jan 00 - 12:30 PM Come on in, Rob-O. Don't mind the clutter - just clear you out a place and take a load off. Welcome to the Mudcat. Regards, Neil |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Rick Fielding Date: 14 Jan 00 - 12:45 PM Jeez Rob-O, how many times do you come to a place where you get that kind of invitation from a sailor in the first 5 minutes?! Welcome. Rick |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Áine Date: 14 Jan 00 - 01:21 PM Well, Rob-O, I see the fellas have been quick to come to the welcoming party (that's just like 'em, ya know). Speaking for the 'better' half of the Mudcat population (haha), I'd like to welcome you here and offer you a seat near the stage and a pint of your favorite brew to get you comfortable. Looking forward to getting to know you! -- Áine |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: T in Oklahoma (Okiemockbird) Date: 14 Jan 00 - 01:39 PM Welcome aboard Rob-O. Mudcat folks (often spelled "phoaks") are a fine bunch who can be a bit zany at times. T. |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: catspaw49 Date: 14 Jan 00 - 03:12 PM I'd like to say welcome too as soon as he shows up, but I ain't goin' thru another one of Kat's Fast Eddie things again. Now you see him, now you don't. Come to think of it.........Kat dear, did we EVER see ol' Fast Eddie??? Clinton, when your bro is a show, I'll give it the go. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: katlaughing Date: 14 Jan 00 - 03:15 PM Verrrry phunny, Spaw! You KNOW he did! And, please!!! Lower case "k"!! Thank yew! **BG** |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Clifton53 Date: 14 Jan 00 - 03:28 PM OK Spaw, that's good enough for me. I see your point. Just thought I'd help him out a little. You are a pistol Clifton |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Áine Date: 14 Jan 00 - 03:56 PM Dear Rob-O, The following should initiate you into the wonderful world of Mudcat humor and thread creep (the two are inexplicably intertwined!). katlaughing, since you insist on the lowercase 'k', I must dedicate the insertion of the following poem to you -- and yes, this is 'music-related', because whilst on my search for this famous poem by Don Marquis, I found a fantastic klesmer music links site! So, dearest kat, with all affection, this one's for you:
the song of mehitabel |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Peter T. Date: 14 Jan 00 - 04:05 PM "the palaces i have been thrown out of!" is a line I remember from this poem, but does not appear in this version. yours, Peter T. |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Jan 00 - 04:15 PM We have a special place in the corner of the Mudcat Tavern called the Hiroshi Ogura Memorial Table. I'll have a special place set for Rob-o right next to Fast Eddie. |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: paddymac Date: 14 Jan 00 - 04:57 PM Rob-O - Please accept my most sincere apologies. Had you not been labeled as Clifton's brother, you most likely would have gotten a great welcome to the family. :>) Glad to have you aboard. |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Rob-o Date: 14 Jan 00 - 05:45 PM Aye, lads and ladies, a pleasure to be hear it tis! A big thank you to young Clifton for the invite, and to all of you for this incredibly warm welcome. Strikes me that this is a place where one can rope off an area, put on a show (from the Canadian border down to Mexico -- and beyond), have a grand time and learn a great deal in the process! Nice to be with y'all. |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: katlaughing Date: 14 Jan 00 - 06:05 PM He's Real! See! Thread drift warning....incoming thread drift!! Hey, &AAcuteine, that's one of my favourites! I am honoured! Just so you know, it's lower case "k" because when I signed on as katlaughing, there already was a "Kat". Phoaks got tired of signing my whole name and shortened it to "Kat", BUT, the other KAT-who-was-here-before-me does post now and then and I don't want to offend her, so I figure if I stress the lower case "k", it'll help. Phew! |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 14 Jan 00 - 06:10 PM Rob-o, welcome at last (and prepare to duck: Catspaw often hurls kitty litter at newcomers for a while--an umbrella might come in handy). --seed |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Áine Date: 14 Jan 00 - 06:16 PM Dear Rob-o, It would be wise to heed the 'Seed -- Personally, I keep a plastic mop bucket handy to take cover when 'Spaw gets in one of 'those' moods! -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: katlaughing Date: 14 Jan 00 - 06:17 PM Sorry, Áine, got my html fingers mixed up! |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Rob-o Date: 14 Jan 00 - 06:34 PM Hey, all the good I embrace or take credit for. The rest I blame on Clifton! That's what big brothers do, eh? |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Clifton53 Date: 14 Jan 00 - 06:55 PM Indeed, this is so. Ever since he got the drums when we were kids and I got the combination guitar/canoe paddle. |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: wildlone Date: 14 Jan 00 - 07:12 PM welcome my friend from the other side of the pond,nice to see you colonials. |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: catspaw49 Date: 14 Jan 00 - 08:07 PM Rob-O my boy I have no idea what these folks are talking abiut and I welcome you to the Mudcat. The fact that you are Clifton's brother does NOT stand you in good stead however since he is a well known foot fetishist with long record of transgressions including a second degree felony with a Wingtip and a series of Capezio misdemeanors. We welcome you anyway, especially since you have shown up! We were hornswoggled on past occasions with Hiroshi Ogura and kat's friend "Fast Eddie." Try not to pay any attention to Aine, as she too has her share of problems...some of which can work out well for you if you're a saggy ass tortoise. If you are not, you'll find her to be Texan............. This is a great place with lots of great music and people. Let the kid brother show you around....join in wherever and whenever....and hide your shoes. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Áine Date: 14 Jan 00 - 08:15 PM Dear Rob-o, See what I mean about 'Spaw? Well, as I sit here with my mop bucket on my head, I'll just say that some of us have a 'thang' about shoes, and some of us have a 'thang' about saggy assed tortoises . . . Long Live Lovers of Saggy Assed Tortoises! -- Áine (The Resident Yellow Rose of Texas and PROUD OF IT!) |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Clifton53 Date: 14 Jan 00 - 08:19 PM Spaw, you are a comedic genius, I bow before your rapier-like wit, I bow, say, are those penny-loafers your wearing, Very nice. |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: catspaw49 Date: 14 Jan 00 - 08:35 PM Well, they were.......but,uh...........hmmmmm.......aw ferchrissakes.....ANYBODY GOT A PAIR OF SIZE 13??? Maybe I could wear a brace of possums...nah, Cleigh wouldn't like it........maybe a couple of tiples would fit............ Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Little Neophyte Date: 14 Jan 00 - 08:55 PM Howdie Rob-O Very glad to meet you It sure is nice to have such a close relationship with your brother. That is something to be cherished I have a sister and we are extremely close too. Do you play the banjo? I think everyone should play the banjo. Aines, who has a thing for shoes? BB

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: catspaw49 Date: 14 Jan 00 - 09:01 PM BB....I love ya' dear, but you have to read the thread for comprehension and not speed.(:<))) Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Little Neophyte Date: 14 Jan 00 - 09:13 PM Ohhhh, now I understand. Clinton has got the foot fetish. You know Catspaw, my public school teachers use to tell me the same thing. Maybe that is why my brain contains a minimal storage of data. BB |
|
Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Sorcha Date: 14 Jan 00 - 09:58 PM Would that be the name that can't be spoken? Hi Rob-O, I'm new too. Finally, a place where we can let our hair down....those classical phoaks can be real fuddies about "losing the thread"....buy you a drink? |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Little Neophyte Date: 14 Jan 00 - 11:01 PM I told you I had problems in school. Sorry Clifton, just one of those things. BB |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Robo Date: 14 Jan 00 - 11:41 PM I am, admittedly, a turtle man from way back. Had box turtles cruising my living room until, well, for awhile. Raised a batch of turtles from pistachio size to full-grown guard turtles. Raced 'em, too -- was there when Three-Feet Pete of Joe D.'s stable won the International Federation for the Advancement of Racing Turtles (IFART) champeenship one year in Jersey. He fell out of Joe's jeep on the way over, suffering a skinned knee on his bad wheel. Was so freaked out, he'd take off running whenever we put him on the ground! Anyhoot, you get the picture. Hard-shell harmony, that's for me. |

Subject: RE: Welcome a New Member From: Sorcha Date: 14 Jan 00 - 11:44 PM Cliffffffffffffton vs. Clinnnnnnnnton would that be the "F" word? And I can type, except when there are too many long dark things around........... |
