Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 17 May 00 - 04:15 PM Ooooh! Two offers at once! Mmmmm... Amergin. Yours would indeed do, and handsomely. Bert. I dunno Bert, don't you have radio to dash off to shortly? OK. Bert it is, till Radio Show time, then he'll have a guitar to manage anyway. Then Amergin! Yeah! Amergin during the radio show! OK Amergin? Sugar Dog hops up... mashes Bert around til he's just right (he's so cute when he giggles!), gets settled in, and..... zzzzzzzzzzzzz....... ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Mbo Date: 17 May 00 - 06:13 PM **Mbo, with his clothes covered in clay and copper dust after a long day, staggers in, and with his usual right eye twitching, he drops on the floor** Pleeeeeze are there any nice gals around to drag me under a table? --Mbo |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 17 May 00 - 06:18 PM I'm on lap duty again tonight Sugar Dog so when everyone else gets tired, I'll still be around; and I have a few more verses to rock you with.. Yours, Aye. Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: TerriM Date: 17 May 00 - 07:35 PM Praise tells me there's lots of sympathy and cuddles for those of us frail beings with health problems, would that be right? I could certainly use a lap and lots of the kind of kindness that makes me cry just at the moment.Actaully a pint of Guiness and a small malt whisky wouldn't come amiss either. And somebody tell Cleetus that the brand of moonshine he's passing round will make you go blind ( my mother told me something completely different, do you think she doesn't know about moonshine?) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 17 May 00 - 07:54 PM Terri, you take this Guinness while I help you into the hot tub here. Don't panic. It's full of Jello...There! Not bad when you get used to it. |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 17 May 00 - 09:00 PM Free lap available fer those that needs it right here in me rocking recliner... A night out with the boys would'nt do her any harm A night out with the boys would'nt do her any harm Oh a night out with the boys would'nt do her any harm And we'll all hang on behind
We'll roll the old chariot along
A tot of whiskey hot would'nt do us any harm
We'll roll the old chariot along |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Amergin Date: 17 May 00 - 09:37 PM Now that Dave has finished his song. I'll just draw another pint to oil my throat and recite this little bit that I got here: One Hand on the Bulwarks One hand on the bulwarks, one hand on the cigarette, watching the fog creep back from the shoreline, bit by bit, inch by inch, foot by foot. I am watching the whales dance on the ocean crests, singing their celebratory songs of life, songs of their travels, songs of those that have come before. One hand on the bulwarks, one hand on the cigarette, feeling the greasiness of dirty clothes brushing against clean skin, with each roll of the boat, each shift of the legs, each lifting of an arm, each turning of the head. You can't wash your clothes they say, have to conserve fresh water they say, it's only four days they say. AAARRGGGHHH!!!! The griminess of it all!!! One hand on the bulwarks, one hand on the cigarette, hearing the gentle roar of the diesel engines reverberating throughout the vessel, vibrating the steel decks, the bulkheads, the portholes, the crew as the beached stern of the New Carissa slowly descends from sight. Got an open lap available.... Amergin

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 17 May 00 - 09:51 PM Whooooooooooosh-sh-sh..... just back from a short trip out back to TCB, Sugar Dog piles into Amergin's lap, indulges in a moment of determined cheek-licking, and settles in to watch the Tavern fun. Biskit, no stranger to under-the-table maneuvers, had apparently dragged Mbo to his rest from which resting place, from time to time, we hear a faint balladic whisper TerriM and Dave, in the next recliner, are just getting comfy for a bit of purely platonic and therapeutic snuggle time. Dave has shaved again and TerriM is weeping softly with no particular pain in mind, just at the relief of landing at safe harbor. Dave doesn't mind because whatever her tears' cause, it's no fault of his and when a lass needs a good weep, why not? Sugar Dog can smell Biskit still, but he was in and back out so fast she missed him while TCB. But it seems he may have kidnapped Sorcha with her complete cooperation... sniff-sniff... tasting the air.... yep. Sugar Dog can SMELL the wild cackle Sorcha let out when she realized she could hop a ride with Biskit and take a nice, loooooong trip! Sugar Dog 'bout used up her remarkable powers of observation and reportage, so (scrunch-wiggle-lap adjust) settles down for a nice nap amid all the noise, safe and snug among friends. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Amergin Date: 17 May 00 - 11:24 PM Here I am with the sugar dog in my lap, a pint in my hand, giggling from the licking and the wriggling, one arm around her as she settles in for her nap, careful not to spill my beer (can't have that), watching the goings on around me, thinking on what Aine's next Challenge will be.... Amergin |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 17 May 00 - 11:53 PM (plipp!) A drop of beer lands on Sugar Dog's paw. She absently licks it off in her sleep. Mmmmm....zzzzzz... Amergin reaches over for the conveniently-placed wheeled tray table Spaw sent over from the Neil Young Center, pulls it over, and sets down the beer.... reaches into the pullout tray for the Notepad, and begins to scribe a song.... Yep, that adjustable tray height JUST FITS over Sugar Dog, sleeping happily below while songs dance over her silky caramel-colored head, and she begins to dream... of another Tavern, in another time.... The Mudcat Tavern Enterprise... ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Mbo Date: 18 May 00 - 12:02 AM **While Mbo snores soundly crumpled up in the doorjam** --Mbo |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 18 May 00 - 12:54 AM Gently moving the sleeping lass to a comfortable spot in his recliner, the ancient mariner picks up the sleeping Mbo and puts him in an unoccupied recliner in a warm spot in the corner... Poor Lad!! alone and tired out... wonder where the lassies went? Well cant leave a shipmate on the deck in stormy weather... Night all! I'm off to the lighthouse on Mudcat Island, gotta work on me sport fishing boat I just bought.. TTFN, Aye.
Oh whiskey is the life of man
Oh whiskey hot or whiskey cold
Oh whiskey killed my dear old dad
Oh whiskey made me pawn me clothes Bye mates catch you all in another tavern night... |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 18 May 00 - 01:03 AM Aye, indeed, float that boat! And watch out for otters! ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Amergin Date: 18 May 00 - 01:09 AM Not to mention selkies. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 18 May 00 - 01:19 AM Selkies are mates of mine, and otters are my pals too! We're all Seafarers mates; and its time this chairborn warrior returns to his natural element. (miles away from cities and yuppies)Yours,(waiting fer the day)Aye.Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 18 May 00 - 01:38 AM Sail away, matey, sail away! They have recliners and laps on them boats Dave? Shipboard mascots? ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 18 May 00 - 01:47 AM Mine is an "old gal" seaworthy, but like her owner a bit obsolete...Not built fer comfort, but will keep you alive in a rough sea.. Got a polar bear for crew; and a friend who wants to learn navigation in exchange for carving a figurehead and name boards for her... Yours, Aye. Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Amergin Date: 18 May 00 - 04:04 AM I listen to the gentle snoring of those around me, of Sugar Dog yelping in her sleep chasing cats, rabbits, or whatever strikes her fancy, as I scribble into my notepad, softly singing out my words as I go along... Into My Thoughts I hear her voice calling to me in my sleep Swirling in my head the whispers softly creep Into my thoughts.... I see her standing before me in my dreams Unclothed and dripping from the river streams Into my thoughts..... I hear her sing her beann sidhe songs Wailing and crying the whole night long Into my thoughts.... I feel her creamy breasts touching me Caressing my skin everytime she breathed Into my thoughts..... I taste her mouth as her tongue entered mine Knowing the dreams are being left behind Into my thoughts.... I smell her sweet sweat filling my lungs I arise and know that you are now gone Into my thoughts.... Amergin I finish my pint and lean back closing my lids and gently drift off to sleep, to the music of the snoring........

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Amergin Date: 18 May 00 - 05:06 AM Here let me try this again, but only with line breaks: Into My Thoughts
I hear her voice calling to me in my sleep
I see her standing before me in my dreams
I hear her sing her beann sidhe songs
I feel her creamy breasts touching me
I taste her mouth as her tongue entered mine
I smell her sweet sweat filling my lungs Amergin

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: GUEST,Mbo_at_ECU Date: 18 May 00 - 12:26 PM Ahhh...dog washing time!!! Man...I only handle cats.. --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Amergin Date: 19 May 00 - 01:47 AM Terri, glad you liked it. Since Sugar Dog put me on the spot last night had to write something. Glad you're feeling better today. Get all the jello off? Amergin |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: TerriM Date: 19 May 00 - 10:19 AM All clean of jello, now covered in dog slobber, but what the hell! Mbo, you ever tried to bathe a cat?? You need full body armour and a stun gun and you still come out looking like you spent the night with a bag of over-excited roofing nails! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: MMario Date: 19 May 00 - 11:02 AM OUR cats bathe each other, and "dry bathe" in alfalfa (they roll on the hay bales)... BTW - YPPAH YADHTRIB! to the Sugar Dog!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 19 May 00 - 11:09 AM OK barkeep, the weekend starts here, set 'em up! Has that PeterT been in? If he does come in tell him Waylon's turned up in Scotland fronting Project Heron at:http://www.stir.ac.uk/infoserv/heron/ RtS |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 19 May 00 - 11:37 AM Mmario, Foow! Foow! KNAHT OUY! LOL, or is that LOL? Definitely OAMLFTOR! ~Sugar Dog |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Mbo Date: 19 May 00 - 12:05 PM Yeah Terri, I know ALL about holding cats when they get a bath! Our kitty Boo fights both tooth and claw, yet I always seem to come out unscathed. I'm also the only one who can nab her when she's bad, her remonstrances never faze me, I can tease her even when she's in a scratching mood, and still get away with it...that's why my family calls me "The Kitty Police"! Ooooh oooh! Recliner spinning contest time!!! Yes! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: MMario Date: 19 May 00 - 12:15 PM Mbo - lemmee sniff that Iced tea you're drinking, I think someone may have spiked it...or did you get it from Long Island? But I haven't had a recliner spinning contest in years...did you ever have piano stool twirling contests? The trick was to twist it right out of the socket yet maintain your balance so it spun on top without tipping over...while still sitting on it...most spins won! |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 23 May 00 - 02:52 PM Update: Good results today on echocardiogram. Endocrine results expected this week. Self-care changes beginning to pay off, slow but sure. Reading good holistic health materials to refine plan. Research info is beginning to come in, and is powerful support to being in charge of being a good patient or doing good healing. Home computer is no more, except when Hardiman brings home laptop. So am e-communicating from work. Messages, cards, flowers, assistance... have been pouring in and have beenSUCH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 23 May 00 - 02:54 PM oops, flying thumb disorder... and have beenSUCH .... ... have been SUCH a help that when there is nothing else doing, I just curl up in Jesus' lap and have a good cleansing cry at the marvelousness of good friends and strangers. Wrote a song about it I will post later. BTW, I am also sleeping a LOT. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 23 May 00 - 03:16 PM Glad you're on the mend, Susan. I was worried when you were refreshing (without "REFRESH") all those threads that you might be falling into a coma and trying to get a message out! Your medication probably doesn't allow you to have a drink so I'll have one for you (still at work for nearly an hour)to toast your good health. When you're recovered I can get back to being my sarcastic self! RtS (perhaps the NYCFTTS can run a program for compulsive refreshers!) :0D |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 23 May 00 - 03:27 PM RtS! Yeah, make it Rusty Nails! Just pour some on ole Sugar Dog, she can lick a drop off her paw! Regarding the refreshing flood of yesterday.... that was just so the Multiple Willies would drown, sinking to the bottom of the Mudcat Shoals of their own weight! I love Willies, too, but one is enuff for this Sugar Dog! ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 23 May 00 - 04:03 PM Where better to post this than in the thread where I found more laps than I had ever dreamed possible? I'll leave it here for the day someone else needs a lap and there are no Mudcatters present at the Tavern to hop into the recliner and snuggle up. See, it is a plaque, hanging right over the recliner section.... it reads:
IN JESUS' LAP |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Amergin Date: 23 May 00 - 08:42 PM That's a lovely song, Praise. I'll just hang out at the bar, since I don't see anyone tending the bar, I'll just draw myself a pint of the black stuff, watch the foam rushing to the top, mmmmmmmmm. Amergin |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:53 PM Please indulge me in another round of this thread. If it gets a lot of action I know someone will make a Part Three. A critter called Sugar Dog makes her first appearance in the Part One thread on this: http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=21011&messages=141 In these threads, as we got to know Sugar Dog, we also found out what is a Sugar Dog Man. And that's why I am refreshing this. A dear Sugar Dog Man from our parish died today-- Ernie. So since I didn't get to say goodbye, I thought maybe I would just toast him here. His widow is also a sugar dog, Marguerite. She is blind and as Amos said to me today, and I paraphrase cuz I don't remember it accurately, she must be in a deeper darkness now. I said, I dunno, a sugar dog will amaze you most of the time, she's already so far ahead of me that I could not begin to imagine how she is in this, now. Strong I know, and taking her tears in their season head on, from what Hardi said after going to see her. So-- raise a glass to Ernie and Marguerite, a love that kept two people together body and soul throughout life's infirmities, lives lived in the Lord, and a way of seeing people that has magic and joy and fun in it. And JenEllen-- aaaahhhHHHH-ROOOOOOoooohhh! ~Susan~ |

Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Kim C Date: 13 Oct 00 - 03:45 PM Praise, if you can be a Sugar Dog, can I be a Whiskey Cat? :) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Oct 00 - 02:22 PM Posilutely! Still toasting the soul of the later Ernie Dowell. Hymnsinging in his honor in the hymns thread. ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: Kim C Date: 16 Oct 00 - 04:06 PM and a big Meeeeeowwwwww to Ernie and Marguerite. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MUDCAT TAVERN 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 16 Oct 00 - 04:53 PM Kim, if it takes being either a Sugar Dog Man or another sugar dog to see the Sugar Dog, then I must be another whiskey cat myself, and if so I am at least 12. And you then would be another sugar dog, in addition to the Whiskey Cat. Hmmm... I do know some Whiskey Cat Men, too... explains a lot! The there's WonderGoose and DandyGander. Another story. ~S~ |
