Hee Hee! I just got the new, upstairs, computer hooked up and working. I don't think I'll register on this machine, though. That way I can be myself on one machine and be really nasty on the new one, and no one will know.

Also, since this is upstairs, I can get on the Mudcat nekkid, if I want to. Boy, are you folks in for a thrill!

Sorry, darlin', not me though. I'd be more transparent in my posting! LOL!! Plus who sez I put on clothes EVER when I am on the computer? Just cuz the LR puder is in front of two street windows-- Traffic goes 55, so who cares? OK, there is that blue and white polka dotted bikini, but that's just for when parishioners come over.

I see that you use the same ISP on the two machines. Silly mistake, the IP address that is issued when you connect happens to match exactly this time (a lucky coincidence that provides me certainty, usually it is just close enough to allow me a confident guess). A cookie is not all that I can keep track of.

I know who you are.

When you ruin your reputation here, let me know, I'll put you in touch with 3 other catters who made the same mistake and regretted it. 2 of the 3 have repented and are working very hard to repair the damage that was done, not only to their Mudcat lives, but their real lives too. It's not quite easy, but possible.

A reminder to everyone: Anonymity does not exist on the internet. There are tricks and services that promise it, but all are flawed. You only need to be paranoid if you are up to no good.

I say we take EMG over to the Mellow tavern Hess just opened and play 20 questions, but without a limit of 20 questions.

No, blame for perceived attempted two-facedness... hiding as a guest to be nasty, as was threatened... the P of DB erases the effect, see, not like original sin at all, since it seems that there was in fact no actual threat or harm planned. P of DB harnesses the urge to blame and subverts it completely by making it COOL but also IMPOSSIBLE to occupy the role of villain!

There was this one town where someone killed the town bully. No one could be convicted because ALL confessed.

Children sometimes discover this trick. WHO WAS SMOKING IN THE BATHROOM???? If the whole class claims blame, it's hard to assign punishment to the ONE if they all hang tough.

This would work for world terrorism, too, I am sure. If all possible groups would just try to claim credit when a bomb goes off, it would be hard to take any one group's threats seriously after that.

I think it WAS Sinsull, and she's just jealous that someone else stole the credit!

What's an Orillian?

Subject: RE: BS: Evil Mystery Guest
From: catspaw49
Date: 06 Feb 01 - 11:14 PM

an Orillian is a moderately rare sub species which we seem to have been able to capture and colonize here at the 'Cat. They are identifiable by their frozen brains, an unusual state of affairs but natural to an Orillian. Even existing in this state, they have strange powers not granted to or wanted by those of us who are normal, or at least have an IQ higher than that of a kumquat.

Their thinking processes, dulled by the sub-zero temperature of their brains, tend to lock in on strange things such as analyzing the meaning and symbology of Dylan lyrics and establishing tabernacles for the worship of psychotic astronauts. Most also have a fascination with oddities and hobbies which are often outlandish, such as saving and mounting for display their toenail clippings from early childhood and well into their adult lives.

Feed them Italian dishes served by zombie waiters named Ron and you will have no problems with them at all.

Spaw, there is no waiter at La Mezzaluna named Ron!!! In fact there is no waiter at all there...but several very attractive waitresses with tresses to be proud of. It's your lousy luck that you are wasting away in Ohio, slowly perishing in the miasma of your own vile bodily essences, when you could be relaxing in the lovely surroundings of La Mezzaluna.

You're right about the oddities and hobbies, however, we have many, and have not admitted to all of them by any means as yet. Stay tuned.

Art - An Orillian is a proud resident of Orillia, the community from which Gordon Lightfoot "sprang", if I may use that term. It makes Buffalo, New York look like a hole. Of course, most places do... (Grin!) It's in Ontario, Canada.

Hesperis - Spahgetti duel is it? Okay, but I refuse to award the victory to the one who eats slowest this time, because I would definitely lose. We'll have to see about new conditions.

Back to Spaw - Dear friend and esteemed colleague, you will be delighted to know that as I walked into the local Sunoco station yeserday to pay my bill I heard wafting over the speakers the familiar strains of "Ground control to Major Tom..."

I knew at that moment the calm satisfaction that comes to one living in, dare I say it, a superior civilization, a civilization that frowns upon public displays of flatulence and phalluses longer than the owner's forearm being dangled over bridges into formerly pristine waterways, a civilization that has the good taste and decency to forbear from using the seven common mundane curses, except when they are fully justified by extremely vexing circumstances...indeed...a civilization we call CANADA. Yes, CANADA, home of the Tim Horton's Donut Shop, Red Rose Tea, Resdan, the Maple Leaf flag and all the other things that really make life worthwhile, tidy, and decent.

The problem with the property of distributed blame is that most people run it from the inside out, taking that native sense of responsibility and projecting it onto their versions of all the kewpie dolls in the environment. This leaves them not responsible because the responsibility has all been passed around to the doctors, stars, athletes, neighbors, younger folks, older folks, off-color folks, Protestants and Lunarians around them. Makes for a funny kind of mindset which gravitates toward rigid solutions such as sitting in front of evil boxes in the living room having their brains sucked out.

Don't worry, Midchuck. I have identical cookies on 3 computers - 2 at work and 1 at home. It's no problem at all. Wherever I go, I know who I am.

- Bob Dylan

Oh, Susan...the phrase "Oh, really, Orillia?" is actually a popular one here, as it is the official name of a comedy revue that does regular public performances in this town. They are a pretty funny bunch, and they normally satirize the local political and social situation in Orillia, which, God knows, deserves to be satirized. Some pretty bizarre things happen here from time to time. I pray that Spaw never moves here, or it may get even worse!

SINSULL - ???

What the flip do you mean .."Red Rose Tea??? Is that where that crap comes from? Explains a lot."

Red Rose tea is the best man! It rocks! Well, I mean if tea could rock it would, eh?

You useto get these little animals statures in every box of REd Rsoe tea, and they were cool. I had about 50 of them when I was a kid. I stole them from my sister, and I used to set them up on the fence and shoot at thme with my BB gun. Neat-O!!! I special liked popping the squirrels and the skunk.

You don't, like, get those with any of them fancy stupid herbal teas or anything,now do you, eh?

If you take about 50 Red Rose tea bags (which don't cost too much) and you can, like, put em in the bathtub in real hot water and, like, have a tea party, eh? You just dump in a few bottles of Rye, and Rum and Vodjka and stuff like that and stir it up good, eh?

You can ghet wasted just by sniffeing the fumes, man!

You can also do it with ice water, and then it's, like, iced tea, eh?

Either way is totally DECENT. I gotta get some Red Rose tea for the weekend, man.

See ya.

I like the tiny little tea leaves in Tetley. Red Rose is a staple in NY diners. It is brought to your table in bag form along with a luke warm cup of water. Nasty stuff. I did not mean to offend. My "It figures" simply meant that only crappy tea would grow in the Canadian climate.It was a feeble attempt at humor. I avoid herbal teas except when the local Genovese gives away a thermos mug with two boxes. Then I buy peppermint. I brew my tea in a pre-warmed pot and allow it to steep for exactly 1.5 minutes. Serve it with lemon and a touch of honey.

LH - why did you admit to Red Rose Tea coming from Canada?! The stuff's crap. It's worse than crap! It's REALLY BAD CRAP, probably made from rabbit poop. This could give Canada a bad name...

SINS - I don't know if the tea actually grows here. They probably import the really cheap end bits of REAL tea companies' leavings, and repackage it. Maybe they even import rabbit poop and repackage it as tea, who knows?

Hey, man, no offence taken, eh? If ya wanna spice up the peppermint stuff, take a cup of Kalua and a bunch of whipped cream and put in a blender, eh? Then mix it 50/50 with the peppermint tea and drink shots of the stuff. Chase it with ice beer.

I figure the only way my life could get any better is if I had a key to the liquor store and the beer store afterhours. Maybe I shoudl get a job there as janitor! Geez, there's an idea, eh? I'm gonna check it out.

And if, like, Shania could visit on weekends too, eh?

and if I won the lottery.

And if I had a new 4 x 4.

And another snowmobile. ONe wiht a jacuzzi in the back.

I seen your pitcher, and you're, like, good lookin, eh? But your still a loser.

Your not gonna meet cool dudes with a loser type attitude, eh?

Who ever heard of importin rabbit poop, eh? Like we don't have enough of our own? Jeez, gimme a break!

That LH guy is a loser too, but at least he likes Red Rose tea, so he can't be a complete loser I guesstimate.

That's when you estimate, but it's a guess. Guesstimate! Funny, eh?

Go have a flippin cup of tea or a beer and get real.

I have brewed loose tea for 40 years, and have tried most ways to get 'good' tea....Only thing is, I NEVER pollute it with milk. 'Maybe' a little sugar or lemon...depending

Dear "Blind Drunk..." Your message may be pure "Canadian Hoser" but I'm afraid your (almost) perfect spelling has given you away. You are no mystery, but pure Orillian, through and through.

Rick - There are some guys a lot like him in Orillia, so you could be right. They tend to hang out at the Blue Anchor, and they used to be found at the Top Hat Bar & Grill till the place closed down (big drug bust!). Then too, they might be found at "The First" aka the Atherley Arms Hotel...Orillia's prime and perhaps only strip joint.

I drove a taxi for 6 months in Orillia and met quite a few people similar to BDiBR. Some were sober, most were not.

It's a creepy feeling knowing that BDiBR may be walking the very streets of my home town.

- LH

Hesperis - you are dead right about Red Rose Tea. It is probably the worst brand of tea ever foisted on a comatose public anywhere, but it has come to be indentified with Canada, because of a long series of silly TV adverts. I suspect, however, that it is made elsewhere, probably in Asia.

I don't think Tetley has much flavor, but it is better than Red Rose......yes, we can get that stuff in Wyoming. Orange Pekoe/Pekoe cut is just a cut above, but Twinings is the only half way decent tea we can get here.

(BTW, I really like "Upchuck" if Max would let us have multiple cookies)

Sorcha - I found out that "Upchuck" is more appropriate than I ever suspected. Maybe the 'chucks will choose to share the story. It involves a CD, Cisco Houston, and mail in a "brown paper wrapper".

Little Hawk, Years ago (and it may still be going on) when sugar was in short supply and Cuban sugar was not welcome in the US, some enterprising businessmen found that if they blended it with a foreign substance (cocoa powder, for instance), it was no longer technically sugar but something else which was importable. Cocoa was expensive and hard to separate. Maybe that's how Red Rose arrived in the states. A simple straining/sifting to remove it from the precious white powder and then foist it off on the diner trade. BTW, I actually have an acquaintance who goes nowhere without her stash of Red Rose tea. She will drink no other. My nephew is thinking of marrying her daughter. I have reservations - wouldn't you???

Yeah, my feeling is that he is anywhere from late twenties to mid-thirties...a case of arrested development, stuck forever at the conceptual age of 16, and a seriously dumb 16 at that. If he has remained in Blind River that long, it figures. I've seen the place briefly, and I was not impressed.

Do woodchucks upchuck or do they just predict the weather? Is the Energizer Bunny coming or going, and what does it have to do with Hilary's congressional career? Is it true that Bill Clinton is going to become a TV evangelist? Why am I still mudcatting when I should be sleeping? Does anyone care?
