Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Kim C Date: 13 Nov 00 - 01:02 PM I'm an internationally known independent recording artist myself. So there. :P (okay, one person in Ireland has a copy of my tape. But that counts!) |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: nutty Date: 13 Nov 00 - 12:49 PM Max and Praise - after posting I also got to thinking about the reasons behind the thread and am very sad that ' I am really famous ' seems to have missed the main point of Mudcat. Quite apart from the song site and forum , there is the opportunity to be part of a global family which unlike your own family you can choose to join. No one who has read the forum can fail to realise the genuine nature of the care , kindness and support shown to others. I would love to meet some of the people I have spoken to, although this is unlikely, as I have yet to meet anyone who has not made me feel welcome .I would say to ' I'm really famous ' stop hiding - come and join us it's a great place to be. |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: wysiwyg Date: 13 Nov 00 - 12:05 PM I am LOL at the idea that someone would inflict upon himself the typing of such a LONG name, and not just join to make the posting easier! Long way to go to get a small laff! These posts also do not rise to the level set by our dear friend and Mudcat member Davecoje. I think his works should be studied and, if possible, emulated. "Sir, I know Davecoje, and you are no Davecoje!" I think Catspaw posted it himself just so he could flame his own ass, having run low on Vegemite. With Karen out of the house, he must have started talking to himself, and being sleep deprived, accidentally gave rise to a new character. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Max Date: 13 Nov 00 - 12:02 PM Without commenting on any real content or behavior in this thread, I would just like to take the opportunity to remind everyone that behind these words lie real people. We may get a lot of folks new to our community here that are expatriates of older, less civil, more common bulletin board systems out there on the net. Perhaps taking such a aggressive attitude when introducing oneself is merely a defensive strategy. Kind of like your first day at a new prison… gonna be a thug or a little bitch? So to you, "I am really famous and bollox to you lot", this is a different kind of forum. Many of us actually know each other in the real world, and many others will soon meet. This place is real, and we try to respect each other because we never know when we may need a place to stay, or a snog, or a prayer, or people to show up at our gig… We are more than just words on these pages. And to my fellow Mudcatters, these refugees come to the Mudcat scared and confused that the Mudcat is like other forums. We need to consider a strategy for putting out their flame while welcoming and educating them with an assumption, a leap of faith if you will, that they have something to offer. IARFABTYL is not the first to enter with this attitude and I am sure he will not be the last. |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: catspaw49 Date: 13 Nov 00 - 11:14 AM Oh, I'd say the dude has a lot of small things about him........Probably does has one nut the size of a pea, but the other is real tiny..........Not to mention a pecker about the size of a half-eaten cocktail wienie.

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Dave the Gnome Date: 13 Nov 00 - 09:40 AM I've forgotten who I am so I dunno if I am famous or not. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: KingBrilliant Date: 13 Nov 00 - 09:37 AM If you're so bleeding famous then how come we don't know who you are? On the other hand, I know who I am - so I reckon I'm more famous then. Can't go to Manchester though - sob. Kris |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Allan C. Date: 13 Nov 00 - 09:24 AM Thanks for the good wishes, Dave. Ya know, out here in the sticks of West Virginia, we are forced to spell things with an indigenous accent. If I were across the wide, wide waters, I would, of course, have spelled it with an "s". With or without a slurp, I fully admit to being constantly befuddled. Allan |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Dave the Gnome Date: 13 Nov 00 - 08:56 AM Whooops! Just saw another thread and must apologise to Alan C - Sorry Alan and many happy returns. You can be forgiven anything on your birthday. After all it could be a celebratory slurp or two talking, or the toll of another year befuddling the brain cells.
Many more of 'em, D the G |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Dave the Gnome Date: 13 Nov 00 - 08:47 AM Tish, poo and shame also Alan C! There you go, trying to correct someones English and then spelling capitalised with a 'z'. I'm surprised you did not go the whole hog and use Kay Kopy Kat guitar... I reckon Bhodran should be spelt with a capital anyway. It is named after the famous Irish saint of rhythm, St Bhod, of whom legend has it; "The musicians were ill pleased with the cacophany caused. Faced with the threat of having his skin taken from him, Bhod ran away.....:-) I like the idea of a gold plated Bhodran BTW - Played with a velvet ribbon. Cheers D the G |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Jeri Date: 13 Nov 00 - 08:47 AM Maybe one day, some knowledgable soul in the UK will explain the concept of "piss-taking" to us (mostly) clueless Americans. Until then, you play a bodhran and you're famous?! HAHAHAHAHA! |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Allan C. Date: 13 Nov 00 - 08:39 AM Who knows, Jon? Maybe I will be the last. |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Jon Freeman Date: 13 Nov 00 - 08:32 AM Allan C, I thought you would be the last person to comment on how many postings a thread title may attract, or perhaps you are proud of "Killing the Thread" after all - 440 at last count, I think!!!! ;-) Jon |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Allan C. Date: 13 Nov 00 - 08:27 AM I have searched the place from stem to stern but have yet to locate the red velvet carpet. It is my fervent hope and fondest desire that if I were to play "Irish Rover" on my copy-cat version of a Kay guitar, you might deem it appropriate to accompany me on your Bhodran. (I presume it must be gold plated or something. The run-of-the-mill bhodrans I have seen so far are not allowed to be capitalized.) BTW, don't be too very impressed by the 23 postings. We get that many on threads which say no more than "I am looking for a song". |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: GUEST,I am really famous and bollox to you lot Date: 13 Nov 00 - 08:10 AM 23 by 1300 (GMT). Not bad but I expected better. Some of the postings were quite interesting but no real napalm.The grammar (in the main) was adequate and spelling reasonable , but content (particularly the expletives)lacking in focus and clarity.I do hope the performers amongst you are better in your chosen disciplines than you are at flaming. I did however enjoy Catspaw49. His /Her natural sense of vitriol is a gift not to be wasted lightly. See you (or some of you) in Manchester. I will be wearing a flack jacket with matching chobham armour and playing a Bhodran. (I know you all love Bhodran players who join in with you 9/8 slip jig time during ballads). |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: GUEST,Greyeyes (at work) Date: 13 Nov 00 - 07:46 AM I'd just like to say that it definitely isn't me, whoever it is. I'd also like to refute the above suggestion that Catspaw could charm the pants off anyone. My pants are absolutely Spaw-proof. |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Gervase Date: 13 Nov 00 - 05:20 AM 'Spaw, you silver-tongued, smooth talking lounge-lizard - you could charm the pants off anyone with honeyed phrases like that. Should you get fed up with making dulcimers, I'm sure a career beckons in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office! |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Dave the Gnome Date: 13 Nov 00 - 04:42 AM Oh - and the spelling of Bollox looks like a computing thing and everyone knows that the Americans lead the field in all things cyber... |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Dave the Gnome Date: 13 Nov 00 - 03:56 AM About time we had a decent bit of flaming! Cheers catspaw49. (Is that like a 69 that doesn't quite make the grade BTW????) I don't reckon it is a British poster. Anyone can use the correct spelling of words. I agree that it takes a Brit to be so pompous (only because we are better than the rest of the world you understand) but we would never be so obvious. I reckon it is far more likely to be someone from the colonies who would like to be a true Brit but doesn't quite make the grade...;-) Cheerie pip D the G |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: CarolC Date: 13 Nov 00 - 03:07 AM Well, at least s/he used a BS prefix before the thread title. (Pretty impressive for a first time poster. Must have done a lot of studying up on the Mudcat before posting.) |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: wysiwyg Date: 13 Nov 00 - 02:13 AM I am honored to have been considered but the sweetness level is not the reason it isn't me. Ask my friends, I can be just as much of an a**hole as anyone else!! No, it's that of course I would spell it BOLLOCKS. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: catspaw49 Date: 12 Nov 00 - 11:09 PM shiteating......although siteating probably works too since this asshole would probably eat the crotch out of leper's underwear. Spaw(:<)) |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: catspaw49 Date: 12 Nov 00 - 11:07 PM I think we're over-reacting here folks. We have some fine and top quality performers already here at Mudact and I would like to have many more. We seem to have acquired another here on this thread and I want to welcome him/her to the 'Cat personally, and I am anxious to hear more about what they have to teach us in terms of performance and of course the world of folk. So let me apologize for my compatriots here and offer you these words of welcome: Fuck off you piece of shit rat bastard and take your friggin' worthless ass to some other site that might enjoy a fuckin' shit-eating cocksucker like yourself. If for any reason you think your pissant worthless, siteating, self needs to stay here, then I suggest you have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Jon Freeman Date: 12 Nov 00 - 11:05 PM Famous Bollox, nobody seems to have addressed your question yet. You are clearly too good for us and it would not be worth your while turning up in Manchester unless you are prepared to lower yourself by mixing with decent friendly people. Jon |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Little Hawk Date: 12 Nov 00 - 10:48 PM Yeah. I even considered buying one of his records once...then I went for a bike ride instead. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Troll Date: 12 Nov 00 - 10:40 PM I presume from the general tone of the original posting that this person thinks rather well of him/herself and desires that we should also. It's been a slow day. I'll consider it. troll |
|
Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Little Hawk Date: 12 Nov 00 - 10:29 PM Oh, BTW, that was a joke, I hope ya understand...just matching the spirit of the original post, you see. I mean, if he can say "bollox" then why can't I say "pissant"? A joke like... :-D okay? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Little Hawk Date: 12 Nov 00 - 10:26 PM Well, I'd have to say I'm surprised that the poster who began this rather inane thread is willing to surrender his "bollox" to complete strangers on such a slender pretext. This assuming that we would want them, which I don't think we do... As for "sycophants talking about what they would like to do but can't"...ha! ha! I laugh with utter disdain. I can play and write a folksong better than you can any day of the week, you pretentious pissant, famous or not. Just watch me.

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Banjer Date: 12 Nov 00 - 08:53 PM Well the first clue I see is that he is evidently from the other side of the pond. Thank goodness for that, We have enough pompous asses without claiming another one. He does use British spelling on some of the words. (another point in our favor) If he WAS a real performer it seems he would know about the Manchester Gathering. Nah, just another snotball trying to impress those that can't be impressed by mediocraty or bad manners. |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: Big Mick Date: 12 Nov 00 - 08:46 PM Oh, I don't know.........this person is probably right.........they really are probably way to talented to hang out with the likes of us..........You want we should leave............or will you? Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then From: paddymac Date: 12 Nov 00 - 08:14 PM Maybe we're dealing with a prankster here. It's not salty enough to be 'Spaw (unless he's in one of his occasional nice-guy moods), and it's not Conrad 'cause it's not "klannish" enough, and it's not sweet enough to be Praise. Doesn't really sound like gargoyle either. It's probably not Michael, unless he's finished buying up all the copyrights in the music world has has nothing else to do. Maybe Sherlock Holmes coulld help us figure this one out. First clue: self-proclaimed jingoistic star who likes to show his/her ass. Ring a bell with anybody? |

Subject: So here I am then From: Iarf Date: 12 Nov 00 - 07:46 PM I have just joined this list. It really is magnanimous of me I realise. So what happens on this list. Just a lot sycophants talking about what they would like to do but can't......and what is this Manchester Gathering that keeps cropping up. (Manchester real world not Manchester USA) Is it worth the time and efforts of a real performer turning up? |
