Wait! I was just finally sorting out what, precisely, is wrong with me and now I find the question has been retracted. I have a list.

it's a very short list, so pizzoff, Spaw

But anywayz, Guest, please do come back and give us some real upper and lower case Q&A. We're game. (Although I AM miffed because I still haven't heard a word on my request for chords to a couple of Karla Bonoff songs...What IS wrong with you peepuhl???)

Beanster! We demand a personal apology from you! By the way, I think I'll apologize to everyone for anything I might say in the next few weeks that deserves one. Whew, that felt better. Gosh, maybe I'll apologize for Spaw as well.

Now what were the God-damned QUESTIONS??

Rick,

I'm confused. (what else is new?) heheheh Should I be apologizing? If you truly mean that, pleez explain and I'll be happy to respond...didn't mean to ruffle any feathers other than those belonging to The Poster Formerly Known As Guest. By the way, he/she and I are pals, now. I think we're going fishing next weekend...

I love this place! In the wake of watching the peaceful, welcoming, loving Rumi mailing list (Rumi being a luminous 13th-century Sufi poet, for the unitiated) I recently joined damn near self-destruct in the last two weeks due to the snarkiness of a couple of new arrivals, it restores my faith in humanity to see 'Catter's marvelous response to Guest.

I'm new here, too, Guest (may I call you "Guest"?), but welcome! It's a hell of a place.

Now what were those questions, dammit? :-)

Lajka,

Some of us would be interested in learning some phrases. I know this probably is not correct, but here is what a translation program I found says you posted, above:

HMM JAG veta, bortsett från mig problemen varför de icke [answear] er mig dum spörsmålen! En saken [I´ve] lärt om [Mudcat] er: Aldrig försöka till tala svensk här!!:)

Is that really bad or did it do okay?*BG*

Actually to answer the thread title alone Amos, well.....

"What's the matter with you people?"

Most are a bit off center, some are pretty weird, some are whacked out, a few are completely over the edge, and there are a couple that are entirely certifiable.

Thanks, Swanster. Glad to know you're looking out for me, what with all these Arts wandering around in their briefs and all.

Beanster, y'all going to catch and release or kill and eat?

Snuffy, I just want to say, that was completely brilliant and you are going to fit in superbly here. Of course, the visiting hours are a little strict, and the food bites, but we do have some fun.

And the question this thread posed keeps on getting answered and answered and answered. I believe in showing, not telling.

Well, Wyo Woman, I'm tempted to say kill and eat but that sounds so barbaric, doesn't it? Maybe we should just sit by the side of the stream and talk, sing and play! And the fishies can listen.

Down in the meadow

Did you ever go a-fishin' on a hot and sunny day
And you see the little fishies swimmin' up and down the bay?
with their hands in their pockets
And their pockets in their pants
And all the little fishies do the hoochy-koochy dance!

My fishing experience (other than the obligatory trips with my Dad when I was a kid) boil down to two trips since I've moved to Wyoming. I actually did catch a 13-1/2 inch trout summer before last. Then I became completely obsessed trying to learn to fly-fish and now have a great "one that got away" story. I can see how fly-fishing could become a very consuming pastime...

But, hey. It's Cyberspace, and we can fish our little hearts out. so just say when and where and I'll be there!

Well, lets see, we gave Guest three questions each, and now we still dont have a name for him, so lets have a NAME THAT GUEST contest.
