Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 31 Mar 00 - 03:04 AM I was out yesterday at a union meeting (white collar: I have fond memories of marching to the Houses of Parliament many years ago behind the banner bearing the stirring and strange device "Rectify the Anomaly"!). So, belated blushes & thanks to Iodine and Praise. I didn't miss a prom in the US sense we just didn't have them at all and I felt at my age the only role for me now would be as a chaperone! Still it was nice to have a cyberdance, ny blue suede shoes are hardly scuffed. See you on the riverboat. RtS |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: GUEST,TTCM Date: 30 Mar 00 - 04:25 PM ..and we do love you too! MMario TTCM --the other clique on Mudcat-- |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: MMario Date: 30 Mar 00 - 04:18 PM you have to love someone who refuses to divulge their identity, refuses to debate, refuses to STOP posting, despite professing detesting BS and BS threads, posts denigrating comments regarding other people yet accepts no critisism. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: TTCM (retired) Date: 30 Mar 00 - 03:03 PM Praise, you (and perhaps others here) should consider Dr. Spock's suggestion as a public service announcement. We're not going to debate this issue with you or anyone else, now or in the future..and don't bother sending us personal messages. They'll be ignored and deleted. TTCM --the other clique on Mudcat-- |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Mar 00 - 02:32 PM BlueJay, most of us went to the malt shoppe and then some went on the Riverboat. Look for blue clickies or threads... TTCM, I am so sorry that you know so little of my world!!! Why don't you join so we can address that in the personals? Or, if you prefer, engage me in the thread named toward you and we can discuss there-- there are a lot of things I would love to talk to you about and it would be fine with me to do it in the open. But this is not the place, and I would not have posted here but for the desire to address BlueJay's comment. ~Susan~ |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: BlueJay Date: 30 Mar 00 - 02:24 PM What a drab way to end this thread on "The Mudcat Prom", you are all talking about COMPUTERS. I'm sure there's some sage advice here, but I've been gone for a week and I come back to this thread to see cybershit! While it makes me think, I'd really rather dance. When I left, we didn't know if a deck was gonna be built. Now I'm worried about my daughters. Either get it back upbeat or drop it. Anybody got a half-decent mandolin I can use? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: GUEST,TTCM Date: 30 Mar 00 - 01:50 PM Sorry, the recommendation dampended your white bread, rose gardened, white picket fence world, Praise. We concur with Dr. Spock's recommendation 110%......not that anyone around here gives a ''flying f--k'' about our opinion. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Mar 00 - 11:05 AM Perhaps enough has been said on this matter, and additional comment may only further that which is negative-- even when a desire to respond further may be entirely positive. I would ask that this subject please be closed. ~Susan~ |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Rick Fielding Date: 30 Mar 00 - 10:29 AM Well Thank God! I felt sure that Spock (whoever that is) would be dumped on from a great hight for his/her absolutely spot-on advice. I don't have children (teenage or otherwise) but I read the newspapers every day, and I was dumbfounded that a parent would allow that kind of exposure/information to be released into cyberspace. That took guts (even anonymously) in the current climate. Thanks, Spock. Rick Fielding |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Amos Date: 30 Mar 00 - 09:29 AM Just so you know, though, all those pages that can be reached from that directory are public links -- there's nothing there people shouldn't look at -- didn't seem to hurt you any, for example. A. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: GUEST,Dr. Spock Date: 30 Mar 00 - 01:07 AM You are wise and pre-cautious to heed the advice, Amos. (I believe any risk at all, justifies what you are about to do.) |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Amos Date: 30 Mar 00 - 01:04 AM Thanks, Spock Baby-Oyle. I will take your advise, just to be on the safe side. I hope you are overstating the risk, but you have demonstrated your point already. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: GUEST,Dr. Spock Date: 30 Mar 00 - 12:12 AM Amos, you should remove the photos, and have Max remove the link Barky created. I was able to drill through all the folders contained on your website....pictures of ships...your wife's business...her email address...etc.. We have no malicious intentions towards you or your family whatsoever and rest assured...but if we can navigate through all the folders and files placed on your website as a result of this ''simple'' link, gather information...and hypothetically FTP into it and alter pages, and change info at a later time.....imagine what a real hacker or hacker/perve could do. Your daughter is attractive....but a 15 year old shouldn't be providing all sorts of family information on the Internet in a public forum....even if you trust the majority of people on this forum...That;s just plain stupidity. Teach her about discretion, and to use caution no matter how safe and protected she might think she is on the Net, with her Dad nearby on a very public forum... ...and of course you have a testosterone deprived MBO with serious emotional problems to boot, now thanks to the link, lying in bed nightly fantasizing about her and possibly more...He's just nuts enough to show up on your doorstep one day...Would be a piece of cake to get your home address, and have an unwelcomed guest/stalker/obsessive-compulsive start shadowing Barky. (If Gargoyle could be tracked down, and given the amount of info we already know about you, Barky, your profile on BBC's pages, etc......well you get the idea.) I wrote this message to you out of genuine concern and there is really nothing further up my sleeve. You can listen and heed this advice...or ignore. Your call, and you live with any possible consequences. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Amos Date: 29 Mar 00 - 05:28 PM So Let it Be Written. So Let It Be Done! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: wysiwyg Date: 29 Mar 00 - 03:08 PM I nominate RtS and Iodine for Prom King and Queen. What say you? ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Iodine Date: 29 Mar 00 - 11:45 AM that is very gentlemanly of you Roger, i thank you for your kind offer. (settling down in the Niel Young Centre wagon).( looking at Roger and hearing the strains of the melody "I Only Have Eyes For You" whirling through her thoughts) tell me Roger, why did you miss your prom? settling back humming to herself........Are the stars out tonight? i don't know if its cloudy or bright,cause I only have eyes,..... for you dear................ (good night Gracie) |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 29 Mar 00 - 03:01 AM Thanks for the dance, Iodine, I've said it here before (and will no doubt say it again!), in the virtual ballroom, no-one can tread on your toes. If you don't mind riding in the Neil Young Centre wagon, I'll see you home while the youngsters go off to the all night drugstore. RtS |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: wysiwyg Date: 29 Mar 00 - 01:03 AM She's over at the malt shoppe, Biskit! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Peter T. Date: 28 Mar 00 - 04:39 PM This Prom is like, sleepsville. The parents fell asleep in the living room behind the curtains a couple of hours ago, so there is still some leeway. Time to head for the Malt Shop, Drive-In, (or if you can fake your I.D.) the Mudcat Bar & Grill. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Iodine Date: 28 Mar 00 - 03:39 PM ahhhhh Roger, listen, they are playing something special for us, how sweet of them...............Goodnight Gracie |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Mar 00 - 02:03 PM "I can....." thinks the groupie standing in the shadows, "... and I even have the poem about it....." |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 00 - 11:19 AM And so it seems we've met before We looked at each other i the same way then, But i can't remember where... Or whennnnn..... Slow, slower and slowest, the romance of the shadowed gym grows deeper as the shadows grow longer and the violins' notes sparkle from the girders. DJ A |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: GUEST,Mbo_at_ECU Date: 28 Mar 00 - 10:46 AM Wow, check out Iodine & Roger! What a swwet couple they make! Amos.forget the hopping, play something romantic for the caillin and her buachaillain! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Iodine Date: 28 Mar 00 - 10:37 AM i think Roger the Skiffer spent too much time on the sidelines, no dancing and only comes forward to sing when everyone is gone, except me. i stand here in my pink satin gown a dark haired irish lass who missed her prom too , shall we dance to your singing roger, and share one dance from a prom we can share now? and then we shall both say after you sing your song, "goodnight Gracie" till we meet again |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 28 Mar 00 - 03:39 AM Prom? Well, 40 years too late and a different continent for me ,but I think a few more chaperones are in order: Break it up there, let's see daylight between you, and that punch tastes suspicious, I'll confishcate thish, shomeone's already shung blue shwade shoes so I'll render for you now, "Trouble". "sings": "Lookin' fer trouble..." till he realises only the janitor is left, sweeping up . Say goodnight, Gracie RtS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Barky Date: 28 Mar 00 - 12:57 AM *As everyone melts into a reviere of memories, the record ends, and keeps on turning on the needle, of course, ruining the record. An hour later, everyone snaps out of it, except some of the youngn's such as Barky, who have been chuckling like crazy, and everyone SCREAMS! and runs to save the record which has already been ruined.* Ooooh... Barky's evil. Thank you Mbo. I really appreciate that. I haven't gotten many compliments like that. Only from my parents, and why should I believe them? *BG* Just kidding, but seriously. Thanks very much. ~Barky |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Mbo Date: 28 Mar 00 - 12:56 AM Aaahhh....I'm floating away... --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 00 - 12:51 AM Ok, Barky, you've drunk your hot blood for tonight! Chill down and sweet dreams from your most loving protector and Dad. Now y'all who wanted to waltz, we gonna spin us, the genuine O-riginal, ALL the way from 19 FIFty foah, (scratch of needle being set down) (pulchritudinous throaty blonde voice....) I was dancing With my sweet heart To the Tennnnnnnnessseeee Waltz, When an old friend, I happened to see... And the crowd melts into beuatiful bobbing and twirling couples, glinting in the lowered lights of the sparkling gym, as all the graduates of Ms. Thelma Boleyn's Junior Dancing Class, now seniors at the prom, remember their hard-earned, white-gloved lessons, remember the crinolines and the Wild Root Cream Oil, and sway to those old lessons anew, weaving, scraping, turning, bowing and lilting across the floor to the strains of... .......the beauuuuuuutiful Tenesseeeeee Waltz!........ |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Mbo Date: 28 Mar 00 - 12:51 AM Yeeha! I hope you don't mind me sayin' so Barky, but you're a REAL looker! --Mbo |

(Mothers Against Dylsexia) Sorcha, chaperone, but not... too... close! (Praise and Hardiman sneak out as Bishop Fogbottom's limo pulls into the parking lot. Has he spotted them?) |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Prom From: Barky Date: 28 Mar 00 - 12:40 AM I'm giggling with delight that you like the photo, Mbo, even thought it's so terrible. Oh, and ceit? Right after this photo was taken, we went out on the dance floor, and a swing song started, and my friend (I promise that's all we were) and I, both being good swing dancers, started to dance. In fact, we got a circle around us. It was pretty cool. N-E-Wayz.... We did a complicated little "The Pretzel" move, and guess what? Well, my perfect little hairdresser apparently wasn't so perfect after all... She didn't put enought hairspray in, and everything fell down. Oh well. If you want, Mbo, you can go back to the site and look at all the pictures. There are some pretty good ones under the 15th birthday file! =) ~Barky |

You look better than i did in most of my prom pictures....i had a lovely midnight blue dress, but my hair wouldn't stay up. *This* prom tho, i'm wearing the dress i never did finish sewing last year....a laced up the front taupe sleeveless vest top and a mossy green full floor length skirt. How do you dance to "inagaddavida"(in the garden of eden) anyway? ceit |
