Well, after lunch at Mezzaluna, CarolC and flattop are meeting my hamsters!
~*sirepseh*~
I saw the hamsters, ha ha ha-ha ha! (And you didn't...!)
I saw Mezzaluna and I wouldn't have if Carol hadn't visited. Si, pero donde estan los pantalones? No entiendo. Necesito mi arana y la necesito pronto! Esta situacion completa no me gusta mucho! Ay, chihuahua! Caramba! So, we all had a good time at Mezzaluna, and now flattop knows about the place at last...LH

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: hesperis Date: 06 Feb 01 - 03:49 PM Oh, this is funny! After lunch, we were looking at an apartment today, for a place that is going to be available in april in my building. So they all got to meet my landlord too. My landlord asked flattop if he was LH's DAD! Isn't that hilarious? ROTFLMAO!!! And then the guy thought that Carol was LH's daughter! Anyway, the apartment is beautiful, and I hope we can get it or something even better! |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 06 Feb 01 - 04:23 PM No, big joe, I'm just visiting. I live in West Virginia. I just got a wild hair up my behind to do something wacky, so I decided to visit Orillia for a month. Carol |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: catspaw49 Date: 06 Feb 01 - 04:30 PM You ate at the Mezzaluna? Geeziz Carol, I hope you didn't leave your glasses there! And if you did, make sure nobody answers the door, especially if a waiter named Ron brings them back!!! Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: poor lonesome boy Date: 06 Feb 01 - 05:30 PM Typical Carol. Orillia is the favourite destination of every wild, devil-may-care West Virginian traveller, eh? *L* |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: GUEST,shall Date: 06 Feb 01 - 07:45 PM Carol, Missing you in West Virginia. No accordian players in Shep lately |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: MMario Date: 06 Feb 01 - 08:02 PM I'm speechless with envy (- and clumsy with the mouse.) |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: catspaw49 Date: 06 Feb 01 - 08:12 PM My gawd, now I am getting worried......We haven't heard from Carol since the Mezzaluna..........Hawk, did you hear a dog wailing mournfully or anything? Tell me you didn't have a waiter named Ron.................Maybe I better call Furman. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 06 Feb 01 - 10:04 PM Hi Amergin... Where out west? Hey Sharon! How's it going? I heard you got some snow in WV. This is a wild and crazy place here. They even let me play my accordion at their song circles (so far). Thanks for your concern, Spaw. I thought I heard a dog howling this afternoon, but it was just some snowmobilers. I have been assured by the Canadian government that Canada is a safe place for me to travel and visit without my pepper spray.

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: catspaw49 Date: 06 Feb 01 - 10:16 PM Thanks Carol.......I just heard that OJ is in Florida so it sounds OK. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: hesperis Date: 07 Feb 01 - 10:15 PM flattop, GET OFF CAROL'S COOKIE! (Especially if you're writing weird things about LH, eh?) |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: flattop Date: 07 Feb 01 - 10:19 PM That's Small Hawk to you and "with level cover" and pata del gato (leg of the cat). |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 07 Feb 01 - 11:16 PM (thanks hesperis) |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 08 Feb 01 - 09:07 AM I guess it would only be fair to mention that while hesperis' landlord did have some confusion about our relative ages (ahem), he also knew who flattop was because of the time he (flattop) ran for Mayor of Orillia. So I guess that makes flattop a famous politician. Carol (P.S. flattop doesn't look two generations older than me, although he may be getting a little senile.) |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: Rick Fielding Date: 08 Feb 01 - 12:10 PM Carol, for a couple of years I lived with a woman who was 22 years younger than me (me 41, she 19) without toooo much problem. At first some of my friends thought I was trying to re-capture lost youth. (Boy, were they wrong...Dyanne ADDED ten years!) Strangers just assumed I must have been rich! Rick |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: GUEST,JohnB Date: 08 Feb 01 - 12:19 PM Most people look young to me these days, funny thing is it wasn't like that 20 years ago, or 30, or lets forget that. JohnB |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 08 Feb 01 - 02:21 PM Well, Rick, the really interesting part is that Little Hawk is two years older than flattop, and I'm only five years younger than flattop. I think the landlord was a very confused man. We had fun with him, though. Carol |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: Little Hawk Date: 08 Feb 01 - 02:32 PM Leg of the Cat - I must remind you yet again that there is NO waiter at Mezzaluna, least of all one named Ron. Fer Chrissake why dontcha put some batteries into Billy the Talking Bass and get a little entertainment, and cease these wild and unfounded allegations about Orillia? With Level Cover - Actually, what I said was: Yes, but where are your trousers? I don't understand. I need my spider and I need it now! This whole situation does not please me at all. Oh, Chihuahua! Oh, damn it! Si, pero donde estan los pantalones? No entiendo. Necesito mi arana y la necesito pronto! Esta situacion completa no me gusta mucho! Ay, chihuahua! Caramba! Alas, I do not know how to put in the Spanish punctuation, such as the accent marks and so on... - LH

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: catspaw49 Date: 08 Feb 01 - 02:42 PM So if Carol is 5 years younger tha flats an Hawk is 2 years older, than if we take the the age of hesperis and multiply it by 3 and add the sums, divide by 12 and take the total to the 11th pwer, then by diferentiating under the equal sign we can find the answer on a train leaving Chicago which will head towards New York at 62 mph and will be meeting a train coming to Chicago at 57 mph. The question then is: What time will it be Orillia when anyone here cares one way or another about whether a toenail collection lessens your cahnces in politics? Just curious. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: flattop Date: 08 Feb 01 - 02:46 PM Ah, Small Hawk, you just have to go to www.altavista.com, click the translate button and you too will get weird translations with accents. The accents seem to work better in loki or else they sometimes work and sometimes they quit. |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: MMario Date: 08 Feb 01 - 02:49 PM is the answer forty-two? or "Boozin' bloody well boozin!"?

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 08 Feb 01 - 03:03 PM Actually, Spaw, it's funny you should mention that... There was a pretty big scandal in Orillia around that election and flattop's toenail collection. It seems that flattop wasn't just collecting his own toenails. He was secretly collecting the toenails of Orillia's most prominent citizens. He would bribe the household staff of his intended victims, and they would collect the toenails from the trash containers. While examining the toenails from one of his opponents in the election, flattop discovered that the opponent had a particularly vicious form of toenail fungus. He decided to use this information in a smear campaign against the opponent. What flattop didn't realise is that public sympathy would go against that type of campaign, and the opponent got the sympathy vote, which equalled roughly 95% of the population of Orillia. It was a very unfortunate situation all around, and effectively ended flattop's political career. |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: GUEST,Carol's Friend Don Date: 08 Feb 01 - 03:25 PM Gee thanks. You send a message through an extremly tight government firewall about "crossing the border", "Pakistani asking for asylum", "confiscating weapons", and "Orillia"(obviously a misson code like Odessa, Overlord, or Taylor Common). I'm waiting for three suits wearing earpieces to seize my computer. (Not to worry, if they try, they'll be wearing their loafer tassels for earings, and coughing just to pee). NEWS: The accordion is a no show. The Penney's stuff is in. I'm playing in a Scottish open band for a St. Columbia Valentines Day dance under Liz Donaldson and Steve Hickman. Sparky Rucker (from the Common Ground Death March)is doing the Black History Guilt-Trip Tour through the area, and will be showing up at O'Hurley's tonight. The Doctors are uping my dosage to the point where it's hard to push down on the keys. If they keep this up, I'm going to have to move to Florida and become a Democratic voter. Sorry about your pepper spray, I told you to switch labels with a vaginal deodorant spray can; nobody would have messed with it. During the riots I glued my mace cannister with a hair spray label, and used it to touch up their "do's" prior to the arrest photographs. One of the funniest fatalities I ever investigated was the parking garage valet who was driving some gal's convertable up to the top floor of the five story building. He spotted a cannister hanging off her key chain, and apparently thought it was breath spray. One squirt and he drove off the third floor. He almost buried it in a nextdoor office building. The secretary in that office said he was "really screaming" on the way down... Write if you find work, |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 08 Feb 01 - 03:44 PM Hey Don! How's it going? How are my plants doing? Thanks again for taking care of my stuff. Good luck with the Scottish open band gig. You ended with a comma. Is that a typo, or did you get cut off before you finished posting? Carol |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: catspaw49 Date: 08 Feb 01 - 03:56 PM Why the hell would you carry Pepper Spray anyway? are you trying to season an attacker to death? Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: GUEST,shall Date: 08 Feb 01 - 05:06 PM Carol, it sure sounds like you are having fun in the great north country.Are you going to be home by March 10 to go the MSC concert in Hillsboro, Va. featuring vocalist Andrea Barrow and Mary Dailey? |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: flattop Date: 08 Feb 01 - 05:37 PM If I run for office again, perhaps I should campaign for vaginal spray registration or for parking garage registration to save lives. Are those toenail collections dangerous?

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: flattop Date: 08 Feb 01 - 05:42 PM Any idea what great fiddle player might be featured at the concert, shall? |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: Little Hawk Date: 08 Feb 01 - 07:14 PM If flattop runs for mayor again in Orillia he will definitely get my vote. I think it would be a most interesting situation having him serve as mayor in this town. Toenail collections might finally get the respect they deserve. We could convert the Leacock Home into a national tonenail museum. Mind you, Mayor of Orillia is a job I wouldn't wish on a dog, unless the dog had repeatedly torn apart my garbage in the middle of the night and strewn it across the entire property...then maybe. Why not run in 2003, Flatso? - LH |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 08 Feb 01 - 09:49 PM Hi Sharon. I'm having a great time. I will probably be back sometime around the end of this month. If you and Don join the Mudcat, and if I come to the concert, between you, me, Don, and Mary, we could have a mini-Mudcat gathering. How about it? Carol |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: flattop Date: 08 Feb 01 - 11:13 PM I suppose those aren't typos, those are Orillian toenailos. |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: hesperis Date: 09 Feb 01 - 06:00 AM Typos? As if the Orillia Packet & Times (also known by certain silly people as "The Racket & Crimes") knows anything at all about typos! |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: Shall Date: 09 Feb 01 - 09:30 AM Carol, Your wish was my command. I have joined. Now we can Party! I saw Don last night, he was on a roll, if you know what I mean! Mary was very impressed with the Mudcat sight in her eternal search for lyrics. As for the great fiddler playing in the concert... flattop, in all honesty, it is a humble and greatful person that is in love with the instrument and the music. |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: Shall Date: 09 Feb 01 - 11:39 AM Carol, Very cool! Party in the Garden at the Meck. Temperature are up in the high 60's today. Rumour has it that there was a sax player playing last weekend at the new pub (Pharmacy). During one of the sets he switched to the ACCORDIAN! Lute Man said he was good. Things are picking up in Shep,a touch of class is indeed welcomed in our little village. |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 09 Feb 01 - 11:48 AM shall, Lute Man? Did Jeff sign up? New pub (Pharmacy)? Did they turn the Pharmacy Restaurant into a pub? I didn't think I was gone that long. Carol |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 09 Feb 01 - 12:15 PM Hey Shall, you have a personal message. If you want to read it, click your mouse on the banner that says "You have 1 active message", or something like that. It's probably just above the list of thread titles. Carol |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: Shall Date: 09 Feb 01 - 12:54 PM Carol, Jeff is on line with a new computer, he calls himself Lute Man. He barely can send me email, much less find the Mudcat site. I am showing him the way when time permits.The computer offers us a break from banging tunes. The Pharmacy expanded to the office building on the corner,it opens up to a middle room where the performance area is located, an oak bar was added with a seperate street entrance. I was invited to the after hours private opening January 23. They have a full stocked bar. Public opening was last weekend.The pub is the nicest in town. The Yellow Brick has nothing to compare. Music featured will be jazz and blues. Who knows, maybe they will be open to some wild celtic music. I know just the group. |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: GUEST,Mary Dailey Date: 09 Feb 01 - 05:58 PM Hey Carol(and Sharon and Don and everyone else)! By the time you, Carol get back to WV the crocus will be in bloom - it feels like spring already. Will you be writing another song, this time about your Canadian adventure? Hope so - you may want to use the melody of the Gilligan's Island theme song this time (it seems to be quite versatile and works endearingly with the words to Amazing Grace). Peace. |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: CarolC Date: 09 Feb 01 - 06:03 PM Hi Mary! Check out Sharon's welcome thread. I might have to write a song. I think Jan V. has dibs on the Gilligan theme song, though. Hope things are going well for you in tropical West Virginia. Carol |
Subject: RE: BS: MORE CarolC's Canadian Adventure! From: flattop Date: 09 Feb 01 - 09:03 PM I heard your CD, Shall. You could hold your head high with Cape Breton's best fiddlers. One track almost made me cry. |
