Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Sorcha Date: 25 Mar 00 - 09:40 PM 3 1/2 hrs for 90 miles??? Boyo, you need to learn to drive the speed limit, 65mph at least! 90 miles should only take you an hour and a half, max! But, do it again! and FLY to Wyo., we'll pick you up in Denver !!! |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Pelrad Date: 25 Mar 00 - 09:32 PM Good for you, Mbo! Now that you know the way off campus, I foresee many more adventures for you. Glad you had fun today. :-) Mario, thanks for not turning out to be an axe-murderer. Spaw would have had severe penance to do if a hair had been harmed on Mbo's head. Or anywhere else for that matter. ;-) |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Mbo Date: 25 Mar 00 - 08:06 PM Well, how to start...how to start... YE-YES! Today RULED! I took off at 8:30am, with my Godpell in the tape player and on my way. I made a straight perfect shot from Kinston to the outskirts of Ragleigh--ELO pounding from the speakers--UH HUH! But then I took a wrong turn! Instead of following 70 into Raleigh, my going-stunod mind saw a sign that said Raleigh, this way! So, I ended up on Interstate 40, the one thing I DIDN'T want to do! But all turned out well in the end, and I reached the faire at 11:30am. Well...I could go on forever about all the neat stuff I saw, irish & scottish dancing, pipers, kilts, quarterstaff, magic.....and then... MARIO! I spied him, with a mug in his hand, just as you said! He was great, but he roped me into being Wench Walked, and I of course had NO idea what that meant! Well, me and Mario went to do our own things...I bought a set of small pipes... Later I got together with Mario...and I was subjected to the wench-walk! 25 ladies! And 25 sets of lipstick marks! So THERE Amos & Spaw! And not only do I have Mario to confirm it, I have HARD PHOTOHRAPHIC PROOF! Afterwards, we got some pics of me and Mario. Mario didn't get Wench-walked, but I suggested that he might enjoy being Possum walked! Well we wrapped up the day together, trading tips on good insults to use, he sang me Don Meixner's song...The Mother's Kiss...beautiful! I did SORT of put on a persona, as Mbo Ruadh. I talked to some portrayers in my Scottish brogue! Mario made me bow as Queen Elizabeth passed. Needless to say, I didn't do one very graciously. Afterwards I said "Mario, did I just do a half bow to the Queen of England?" He said Yes, and I said 'Well good 'cause that's ALL she deserves!" Needless to say, Mbo Ruadh is loyal to Queen Mary! Oh man, then I made MORE wrong turns on the way back, but the Horslips and Elle's folk primer kept me company! So here I am! Ask questions if ye want--there's probably a million things I've forgotten already! And as for GUEST, ain't none of that happening till I get the ring, period. --Mbo |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Áine Date: 25 Mar 00 - 07:52 PM Well, I must admit to a little bit of worrying there too -- But, I'm glad that all is well and Mbo -- You'd better tell us EVERYTHING!!! -- Áine |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: paddymac Date: 25 Mar 00 - 07:17 PM Maybe there's an "alter Meebo" yearning to break free of conventionality. I've never done the ren thing myself, but from younger friends who do, I get the impression that there's a healty amount of licentiousness about the grounds, and many's the adventuresome wench to help a dacent lad through some of life's great transitions. I'm sure he'll have as much fun as he wants. Meebo - all your surrogate parental types are waiting for a report. (Just remember, you don't really have to tell all. Half the fun for vicarious olde farts is the filling in the racey parts for our selves. Sorry, I meant "themselves")(tee hee). |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Sorcha Date: 25 Mar 00 - 07:02 PM GREAT quote......but ya'll KNOW he is gonna read this when he gets back..........he reads EVERYTHING!!! |
|
Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Mar 00 - 06:59 PM LMAO!!!!! Well thanks to all, I know you're all a bit worried too, and I would expect that from all of you. Bill, Sorcha, Amos, kat, and Dave.......El Swanno, I believe I'll throw that one into my favorites stack too!!! Spaw |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Dave Swan Date: 25 Mar 00 - 06:54 PM 'spaw's worry over Meebo makes me think of my favorite H.L. Mencken quote: Sin is a dangerous toy in the hands of the virtuous. It should be left to the congenitally sinful, who know when to play with it, and when to let it alone. Run a boy through Presbyterian Sunday school and you must police him carefully the all rest of his life, for once he slips, he is ready for anything.

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: katlaughing Date: 25 Mar 00 - 06:05 PM He'll be okay, Spaw. He is not stupid, by any means, and needs to practise using his brains in the real world, too. If you're really worried, dare I say it? Just visualise him surrounded by the Light and see him home, safe and sound, driving us nuts by posting a small book about what a grand time he had. I DO know the feeling, though. My sister called me last night at 1030p from Colorado. My youngest daughter, at 22, was driving down to her place after work. A four hour drive. Had a friend with her and a cell phone she had turned off. We both got a little concerned, then I couldn't sleep, until finally about 11p I got her on her cell just as she was pulling into my sister's driveway. They got a late start but hadn't told anybody. The drive was mostly over lone prairie, two lane highways with nothing in between except one town of about 15,000 and a couple of bumps in the road, plus LOTs of deer in headlights! I still didn't get much sleep...too keyed up. So, now, repeat after me, so ya don't suffer the way I did **BG** aaaaaahhhhh ooooooommmmmmm>/i>! kat |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 00 - 05:58 PM Spaw -- from all the signs I can see you did him a fine, positive service and the pressure was only just enough to overcome inertia and habit. He is 21 and it's only 100 miles, isn't that right? Perfect practice run for something more adventurous like shipping out to Hong Kong on a tramp steamer or joining a camel expedition to Fez... Naw, I believe in my heart you did a right and good thing, so no worrying -- if he breaks his ankle on a streetlamp we can do hail Mary's then. I appreciate the good you did for him, getting him out into a horizon more than 24' deep. It'll wake up his soul. If it scares him, he'll survive. Don't beat yourself up before it's time! :>) A |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Bill in Alabama Date: 25 Mar 00 - 05:48 PM Catspaw-- It's no help, I know, but I know the feeling. In this instance, I believe you did the right thing, and you certainly had a lot of folks agreeing with you. Sort of like what my grampaw used to call "peckin' the young'uns out of the nest." Bill |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: GUEST,me again Date: 25 Mar 00 - 05:24 PM He's twenty-one not sixteen. He'll manage. I remember being terrified on a transatlantic flight when I was fifteen. The only thing that got me on the right train at the other end was seeing a poor lad of twenty-three who'd never been out of his hometown before in his life. In helping him I helped myself and got to where I needed to be. |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Mar 00 - 05:20 PM I'll tell you all the truth..........I've been thinking about the kid all day and I'm not gonna' be too relaxed til he gets back and checks in. I'm sure he's having a great time, but if something were to happen to him after all that damn pushing I did ................ Always after the fact, there are a lot of times I wish I'd kept my big mouth shut. Wonder what his parents thought of the whole thing? Screw it, he'll be OK and is probably having a great time and an adventure............but I'll feel better when he's back. Spaw |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: ceitagh Date: 25 Mar 00 - 05:13 PM 'cause you know meebs to well, LEJ... |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Sorcha Date: 25 Mar 00 - 05:13 PM I don't care if he's looking for a computer and aphone line, HE JUST BETTER BE THERE!(and not in Winston-Salem, or some other damn place without a quarter to call home! :) Oh, shit--did we remember to tell him to take a quarter to call home??? |
|
Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Lonesome EJ Date: 25 Mar 00 - 05:08 PM Why do I get this feeling that he's walking around the Ren Fair looking for a computer and a phone line? |
|
Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: ceitagh Date: 25 Mar 00 - 04:38 PM Umm...GUEST, I think Mbo meant that the *lack* of a ring was the contraceptive. In other words, no sex is the safest sex. But you can ask him when he gets back. pax ceit |
|
Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 00 - 04:38 PM I'm pretty sure ol' Meebs has neither ... I mean of course, neither ring nor condom....as for appendages, I am sure he knows how to pee standing up. A :>) |
|
Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: GUEST Date: 25 Mar 00 - 04:26 PM Did anybody tell him that a ring on the finger does far less to prevent babies than a condom properly applied to the appropriate appendage? Should we have linked this thread to the sex education one? |
|
Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: ceitagh Date: 25 Mar 00 - 03:42 PM He's gone guys...tho who knows, maybe he'll stop at some internet cafe to catch up on all the good advice. pax, ceit |
|
Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Biskit Date: 25 Mar 00 - 03:40 PM Meebs ol' buddy you've gotten some really great advice on what to bring fer when ya get there, however..wqatch out for the other people,please! expect them to do something really stupid in front of you always leave an escape route in traffic, like don't get surrounded if they've got ya pinned on both sides slow down leave room to escape, I know this doesn't sound like fun advice but it might get'cha there an back safley, and for that,..the rest can just think I'm an ol' poop Take'er easy buddy. -Biskit- |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Escamillo Date: 25 Mar 00 - 03:15 PM I forgot one: A white towel ! (In Argentine style, a white towel raised up with your left hand, out of your window, signals that you are rushing someone to the hospital, this method is used when the cops are signaling you to stop, thus you don't) Un abrazo-Andrés |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: BlueJay Date: 25 Mar 00 - 12:31 PM MEEBO- a reminder about taking a camera, along with extra batteries, and all the film you'll need. I don't know if your a shutterbug, but film and batteries are very pricey at these events. And PLEASE, don't put off having the film DEVELOPED. I did that once when I was younger, and by the time I took the rolls in, they were undevelopable. I'd give my remaining eye teeth for those photos today! If you don't have a camera, the disposable ones are cheap and put out pretty good pix. Get one, (better two or three), with a FLASH. Take the Guitar, it can be used in lieu of clothing. Have a BLAST!! |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Áine Date: 25 Mar 00 - 09:39 AM Have I missed him? Is he gone yet? Mbo -- CLEAN UNDERWEAR!! DON'T FORGET CLEAN UNDERWEAR!! Dang it, I think I missed him. -- Áine |

Subject: RE: MEEBO Takes to the Road From: Big Mick Date: 25 Mar 00 - 01:51 AM Good man, Meebo, by the time you read this you will have come back. My guess is you will be bubbling over with enthusiasm for having had the adventure. I say this because it was happened when I did the same. Except I had to drive for 12 and a half hours to get to Virginia for the FSGW Getaway weekend. Now that you have your feet wet, why don't you consider coming for that event in October (???Right, Charley??) In fact, why don't all youse layabouts that rode the wee lads arse so hard figure on coming to Virginia in October for the greatest Mudcat gathering ever. Come on, folks, you have 6 or 7 months to save for it. I will bring the first round of the vile black stuff, and maybe cook something special. Big Mick |
