From: Sorcha Date: 17 Mar 01 - 09:07 AM i'm thinking we in the cafe could come up with a reasonable version of our own that my friend would be happy enough with to get some shut-eye. I just didn't think a Blue Peter was quite good enough for such such dedicated service! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: words to 'chopped up possum'? From: GUEST,Cleigh O'Possum Date: 16 Mar 01 - 04:30 PM As a longtime icon and mascot of Mudcat, I find this thread very offensive to me and my brethren. I hope someone can find these atrocious words quickly so that this thread will go away. That nasty Cletus has already been making fun of me and were it not for Catspaw's intervention, I fear he would have done me harm. The last ime I was this offended was when the thread ran asking for a song called "Five Pounds of Possum in my Headlights Tonight." |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: words to 'chopped up possum'? From: GUEST,Roll&Go-C Date: 16 Mar 01 - 03:17 PM All I can contribute in this vain is an old Walt Kelly verse: How much ground round could a hound dog hog, If a ground hog was ground round? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: words to 'chopped up possum'? From: Sorcha Date: 16 Mar 01 - 02:50 PM (ssshhhh, don't let Cletus know about this one!) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: words to 'chopped up possum'? From: John Routledge Date: 16 Mar 01 - 02:15 PM They could do with some of this in NZ. 70,000,000 of them eat 30,000 tons of vegetation a day. Thought for the day. GB |
Subject: words to 'chopped up possum'? From: cait Date: 16 Mar 01 - 02:01 PM a friend of mine says he can't rest until he finds these words. Let's go on this, he looks awfully tired already! thanks. -caiti |
