Subject: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: Les B Date: 03 Sep 00 - 04:59 PM Just an inquiry. When I pull up the forum page and the list of blue threads comes up, there's a non-blue word, "shorty" at the bottom. What's that all about ? |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: Noreen Date: 03 Sep 00 - 05:05 PM Shorty's my hero! He's one of the computers who deals with all this guff. I don't know why he's become such an unashamed self-publicist recently, maybe he's going for a recording contract? Noreen |

From: Bagpuss Date: 04 Sep 00 - 07:49 AM BTW - when I try to create a new thread, after I put in the title, I get the following error message, and it wont let me go any further. Anyone know what that's all about? Error Occurred While Processing Request Error Diagnostic Information Error occurred in tag CFSEARCH Collection failed to open: DT

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: Max Date: 04 Sep 00 - 01:34 PM Wednesdays are kind of a universal internet busy day. Not sure why other than its happy happy hump day. Mudcat Radio does have an effect though, probably because it is the only day (and time) folks know they will see eachother online and in the chat etc (rathe than the appeal of our program). Nothing else about the Mudcat has specific times or dates as of yet so it fascilitates community gathering. Oh, and Shorty is at the bottom of the threads because I was messing with a technique to distribute the Mudcat hits to three machines. I needed to know which machine was pretending to be www when I was hitting it. I ended up using a technique that makes it irrelivant, so I will be removing it shortly... ha ha - shortly. |

From: Quincy Date: 04 Sep 00 - 01:38 PM Well Skip, so you spotted me again....I wondered where I was.....and as usual I was repeating on people!!!!! Nothing that bicarbonate of soda can't sort out!!! Sam Fujisomething says hi! best wishes, Yvonne |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 04 Sep 00 - 03:34 PM Gee, I thought this was a folk song thread, not a computer thread. In American prison work songs, Shorty is a little train that was part of the prison system. The "bottom" referred to the bottom land, more explicitly the flat land typically found along rivers. So Shorty at the bottom simply meant the train was running down along the land by the river where many of the fields which the prisoner's worked were located. See, it is all so simple when you think about it. So what's all this about networks and hits and all? Roger in Baltimore (he's in the bottom, whoa) |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: kendall Date: 05 Sep 00 - 09:04 AM In fact, today is the 26th anniversary of my retiring from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. I dont know where the years go, but, there must be one hell of a pile of them somewhere. |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: Max Date: 05 Sep 00 - 04:46 PM Kendal, I heard Viagra is $10 a pill. How ever do you afford it every night? |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: Troll Date: 06 Sep 00 - 07:35 AM Subsidies for retired govt. workers, natch. Real good insurance policy. Paid for by taxpayers. troll |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: catspaw49 Date: 06 Sep 00 - 08:04 AM Yeah, in Kendall's case the taxpayers bit the bullet and rather than keep springing for Viagra or even its generic equivalent, Mycoxaphalin, the decision was made to install hydraulics. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: bflat Date: 06 Sep 00 - 10:05 PM I saw Shorty ducking into the Mudcat Tavern. I think Shorty has a gig there. Looked to me like Shorty was carrying an instrument, but you know Shorty moves quickly so I'm not entirely sure. Anybody know what instrument Shorty plays? bflat |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: Margo Date: 06 Sep 00 - 10:27 PM Speaking of Shorty: a Short story about something that really happened recently! A certain city employee was installing some new software and got to the point where a new password was to be put in. She was in a feisty mood and typed in "penis". But an error message came back saying "Password too short. Insert another". LOL! Margo |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: Terry K Date: 09 Sep 00 - 01:41 AM Amazing what little gems you can stumble across in the most unlikely threads - "Mycoxaphalin" indeed - thanks for that one 'spaw! Cheers, Terry |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 09 Sep 00 - 02:06 AM The truth explained
Late last year we were averaging about 12,000 messages posted per month.
It was more like 9,837
on our local network at Onstage which is made up of about 25 computers on a T1 (1.54Mbps) line. Some machines of ours have 25 to 50 Web sites on ONE SINGLE MACHINE. No more California Bill D, that was years ago. Read this as .....12 computers....but if it was not so antiquated a site it could ALL be done on ONE GOOD server....you get what you pay for.
Don't believe all that you read and don't accept all that you feel......
..................................
Sincerely, .gargoyle
(back from the Europe ....for a brief spell.....glad to see the Kat banished and all intact.) |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 26 Sep 00 - 09:50 PM Carol, maybe Loki is the Mudcat's mouth and shorty is the other end of the alimentary canal. That would explain it. --seed |

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: catspaw49 Date: 26 Sep 00 - 10:29 PM Hey GARG!!! Is it really you? Geez, how we missed you!! Just to make you feel at home, let me respond to your last sentence before the signature by saying, FEEL THIS!!! Welcome back. Spaw

Subject: RE: Who's Shorty & why is he at the bottom ? From: CarolC Date: 26 Sep 00 - 10:54 PM BSeed(CharlesKratz), You gotta stop hanging around with Joe Offer. His inability to resist a scatalogical reference seems to be rubbing off on you. ;-) (Actually, Max was, and perhaps still is experimenting with that round-robin concept, and I'm guessing that that was an early success within the forum.)
