Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Chester Date: 29 Mar 01 - 02:25 PM Hay, where'd everbuddy go? The party's jest gittin guid. Chester |

Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: MMario Date: 29 Mar 01 - 02:41 PM well, it is the third thread of Spring y'know - some of us don't have time to just frolic and gambol, gamble and frolic while swilling down the internal fluids of vinifera fruit! Take jack over there - he's only got a couple of months before he has to start painting the leaves different colours - then spend the whole winter drawing patterns on peoples windows. He's exhausted! If he wasn't twins he'd never manage it. (His other half does the southern hemisphere, y'know)

Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 30 Mar 01 - 02:52 AM Just a word of warning to any males thinking of hitting on Hera, she'll let you down. As Zeus always says: "Hera today, gone tomorrow." (doesn't bother me I'm in a stable relationship) No, put that branding iron down! RtS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: JudeL Date: 30 Mar 01 - 03:20 AM Stable relationship eh? So thats the reason for all the leather straps and the whip.. No neigh never etc. etc. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 30 Mar 01 - 03:53 AM oh really Roger... doh... you're getting worse... Mattie still awaiting fate... hurry on then... higgamous biggamous and all that... E |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 30 Mar 01 - 08:25 AM Hmmm...is the young one a sacrifice for Aphrodite? Or to Aphrodite? Word has it she was seen recently in these parts...seemed to be on her way somewhere...a determined lascivious smile on her face, her breast aglow with early morning sunlight... oh, and wearing a seed pearl necklace, a crown of lilac and aple blossoms, and a sheer rose-coloured toga TO DIE FOR... heh heh |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 30 Mar 01 - 08:27 AM Actually Matt is in to bubble wrap. Although the "glowing breasts" may get his attention. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 30 Mar 01 - 08:30 AM One must first learn how to honor Aphrodite before one may accept sacrifice at her hand...or mouth...or... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 30 Mar 01 - 08:38 AM In the words of Etta James...TEACH ME TONIGHT! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: MMario Date: 30 Mar 01 - 08:54 AM Matt - I thought you were at a religious retreat tonight. What are they gonna think about your tutorial? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 30 Mar 01 - 10:09 AM All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals, and behold, those who offer prayers of love and yearning to me shall live as gods...walking upon rose petals, bathing in sweet-smelling oils, drinking wine from rainbow-colored amphorae, eating the fragrant, nectar-filled fruits of my trees and tender, revitalizing fruits from my seas...surrounded by the intoxicating siren songs and pulsing pagan rhythms of my musics... Lay down your being to me: you are my sacrifice. Offer your soul, your body, your heart, and ye shall be free.
Aphrodite

Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: MMario Date: 30 Mar 01 - 10:13 AM There's got to be a catch there somewhere. Sounds WAY too good to be trueMaTT!! Your date's here! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 30 Mar 01 - 10:27 AM Matt behave!!!
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: MMario Date: 30 Mar 01 - 10:38 AM But if he behaves, then the sacrifice ain't gonna happen! What a dilemma! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 30 Mar 01 - 10:45 AM I'll try to rein in all my Centaur jokes, but I think it behooves me to say it's the fault of those who saddled me with the role. It's not one I would have snaffled for myself but as the weekend is coming up I'll have a glass of hock and escape before someone pommels me. I might have some new jokes by Monday but I doubt it. TGIF RtS (will Matt be singing bass by then?) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 30 Mar 01 - 10:47 AM But will she serve you breakfast in bed? Or take out the trash? Careful Matt.
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Noreen Date: 30 Mar 01 - 10:53 AM Hope you won't be gone furlong, Roger? See you in a bit... POETS day! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 30 Mar 01 - 10:56 AM Noreen... THATS terrible! hmmm yus MMario...... I C what you mean.... OK... Matt, behave atrociously (SP) Hock... harrumphhhhh I'm having a glass of home brew, Elderflower Wine... Want some..... hic... Ella |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Matt_R Date: 30 Mar 01 - 11:49 AM Man, I'm feeling like a fine upstanding member now! Take it! Take it all! It's all yours to do with what you will. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 30 Mar 01 - 12:16 PM Uh Matt??? You can't be the Centaur of attention unless you are half horse. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: MMario Date: 30 Mar 01 - 12:21 PM How do you know he isn't? been peekin' under his kilt, have ye? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Matt_R Date: 30 Mar 01 - 12:53 PM Sins, my zodiacal sign is Sagittarius, the centaur archer...my Chinese zodiacal sign is the horse. My Great-Grandfather was in the Italian Horse Cavaly back in in circa 1870's, where he was educated highly...and upon his honorable discharge, did not wish to return to being a dirt farmer in the hills outside of Naples, and thus set his sights toward America... 'Zat enough horse for you? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 30 Mar 01 - 02:17 PM The goddess serves no man. As for servicing them, well, that is another matter... As for horsemanship... Even our young friend about to ride forth with arrows cocked and hooves spewing dust should know that in the Celtic countries it is an affront to eat horsemeat. And though I hail from the land of vineyards and mountains and olive trees, Epona, my sister, of the green and white islands, must be obeyed and honored as well. The man has not lived who can ride her into submission...much less cajole her into the cooking of his breakfast or disposing of his trash. Elderflower wine? A magical drink and a fit offering...but I thirst for something hot and thick and sweet... chocolate perhaps?
Yours,
|

Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 30 Mar 01 - 02:19 PM Ahem: I dunno who this trash-talking strumpet thinks she is, but she better quit using my name to post this incendiary fodder... Peg |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 30 Mar 01 - 02:23 PM Matt - are you tempting Kendall to add "And you are a horse's ass"? HAHA Bet him to it. But I don't mean it - just couldn't let it go by. sorry.... Peg - a bit schizophrenic today, are we???? Just who are you kidding? Even I end up taking out the trash. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 30 Mar 01 - 02:26 PM Sinsull: I live alone. I am the ONLY one who takes out the trash. Schizophrenia? I was hoping for creativity.
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 30 Mar 01 - 03:19 PM Let me get this straight. You can't even get Eros to take out the trash? From the "Temple of Aphrodite" website: Aphrodite had twelve children with eight different mates, and none of them were fathered by her husband, Hephaestus. Her most famous child is Eros, known better as the Roman Cupid.

Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Morticia Date: 30 Mar 01 - 05:45 PM Oh for Goddess' sake, the deflorestation of Matt is taking longer than one of George Burns jokes!! Tell you what Mattie, me and you round by the bike sheds, it'll be a done deed in next to no time....painless and while you wait *BG* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 30 Mar 01 - 06:02 PM One would assume the goddess of love, sex and beauty also knows a thing or two about birth control... cuddling? That's Demeter's department.
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: catspaw49 Date: 30 Mar 01 - 06:02 PM So Mort.....If you got a spare minute, ya' know? Like uh................... Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 30 Mar 01 - 08:21 PM Mortie, my love. You still don't get it. Matt is not sacrificing his virginity. We are sacrificing him. SIGH! What do they teach them in school these days? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: catspaw49 Date: 30 Mar 01 - 08:37 PM So then Morty would have more time than a minute huh? That'd be good......I hate that "Short Time Skivvy Guy" routine.....................So Sins, after you dispatch Matt, you'd be free then? Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 30 Mar 01 - 08:54 PM nO sPAW. i AM VERY EXPENSIVE. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Morticia Date: 31 Mar 01 - 05:56 PM I see Matt hasn't taken me up on my offer.....too scared or too sensible,do we think? Still, leaves me with time on my hands and my toga fashionably disarranged....any reasonable offers welcome at this point. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 31 Mar 01 - 06:20 PM Morticia... don't feel bad, even the goddess of love can't score tonight. Shall we adjourn and find a frosty flagon of mead to share? It's on me, dark sister... Aphrodite |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Morticia Date: 31 Mar 01 - 06:44 PM best offer I've had tonight darling......mead it is and the first flagons on me! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 31 Mar 01 - 06:53 PM *clink* Now let's us see if we can't find a suitable sacrifice, er, sailor, er, satyr, to buy us a round later on... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Matt_R Date: 31 Mar 01 - 07:01 PM Well I hath returned! Dear ladies, don't think I was ignoring you! I was at the NC Ren Faire today! Had lots of fun, met Mudcat's own Charcloth! We talked about pipes...lol. Sins, I'd like to think that I would be a cuddler, but I'm not sure. I've never touched, held hands, or even kissed a girl before... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: MMario Date: 31 Mar 01 - 07:06 PM LIAR! I SEEN you be kissed! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Matt_R Date: 31 Mar 01 - 07:08 PM Mario, there is a difference between kissing a girl and being kissed! Besides, it wasn't on the lips! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: GUEST,Zeus Date: 31 Mar 01 - 07:11 PM Step aside sonny, by Jove this is a job for an immortal. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 31 Mar 01 - 07:14 PM (Aphrodite purses her lips into a pout and whines) Daddy, you said *I* could have this one! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 31 Mar 01 - 07:17 PM Daddy? Oh My, what is going on here? This would give a whole new meaning to the phrase "Rolling your own" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 31 Mar 01 - 07:25 PM Kendall; pay no mind. My father is the biggest bully of *all* the gods...why, here is a perfectly acceptable sacrifice and he has to muscle in and take him away from me and my girlfriend Morticia! Aphrodite (pouts and drinks more mead, getting peach lip gloss all over the goblet) But hey there, wandering minstrel, you look like you might be able to fill the bill...not a virgin, surely, but pure of heart perhaps? Desperate times...well you know the rest... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Matt_R Date: 31 Mar 01 - 07:36 PM Ah, yes...to quote Paul Brady "It's nothing but the same old story." Don't worry. I'm used to it by now. Off to the woods to be alone now. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 31 Mar 01 - 07:49 PM Dont piss him off Peg, no telling what he might do. Ever since Kronos passed away, he has been out of control. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 31 Mar 01 - 10:26 PM Hmm, you may be right, Kendall...but I know how to get back in his good graces, let's say. Hey, what happened to our boy sacrifice? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 31 Mar 01 - 10:31 PM He probably got tired of waiting.. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 31 Mar 01 - 10:35 PM well, I signed off for a bit and then could not get into the Mudcat for about two hours...home on a Saturday night, how pathetic is that for the goddess os love fer Pete's sake??? Actually I have a bad cold (missing a Dougie Maclean concert!) and am doing some work on the computer. Anyway, what experienced men have realized that younger greenhorns have not, is that some things are worth waiting for. ;) Ah well, buy me a drink, satyr? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Matt_R Date: 31 Mar 01 - 10:44 PM What some women don't know is that they shouldn't make broad generalizations. I could write a book on waiting. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 31 Mar 01 - 10:54 PM An old man of 80 got married for the first time. A friend asked, "Why did you wait so long?" he answered, "If you get a good one, she's worth waiting for, and, if you get a bad one, you dont have so long to live with her." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 31 Mar 01 - 10:59 PM I'm also home on a sat. eve. Why? well, there seems to be a paucity of intelligent, free women around here, so, I have my computer and my dog for company. My computer lets me stay in touch with my cyber friends ( most of whom ARE intelligent) and I like my dog better than most people. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 31 Mar 01 - 11:18 PM I have my kitties...they like it when I am home in the evening! Jeez, Matt this is supposed to be a humorous thread; why are you such a downer all the time?
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: GUEST,Bacchus in Florida Date: 31 Mar 01 - 11:44 PM Your roving fertility ritual practitioner and orgy organizer here on the Sun Coast. Glad to see the nymphs are still plump and juicy, the satyrs are being sated, and the centaurs are still hitting the mark. Party on, my children! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: alison Date: 01 Apr 01 - 06:54 AM say hello to Mickey Mouse for us Bacchus...... right I'm back..... and it's been a hell of a weekend.... come on 'Spaw we can cheer each other up in the grove.......... meanwhile I'll just leave this game of Twister lying around here for the others... we don't need to tell them that I've greased the colours with olive oil... they'll find out soon enough....... *grin* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 01 Apr 01 - 04:31 PM I think I know who Zeus is, but, so far, Only Matt has been willing to stick his neck out and venture a guess. The perfect grammar and spelling might very well lead you to think it is I, Matt. Nice try! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 01 Apr 01 - 05:13 PM Right, what's happened to our den of iniquity? The blossoms are freezing on the tree! Can we get back into the spirit here? Kendall, let's scare up yer pal Bacchus and see if he can't fix us up with some ambrosia... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 02 Apr 01 - 04:32 AM hmmmm... you've all had a good weekend... Personally I have been supping Elderflower wine since my last post... Ella... smiley and happy |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 02 Apr 01 - 08:41 AM After a wild night of Olympic Wrestling (WWF) I am re-primed for the festivities. Here's the sacrificial knife. Where's Big Mick and Matt? Let's get this over with and get on to the drinking and orgying and all. I bet I know who Zeus is...and I can whip his ass at Trivial Pursuit any day! Especially when he is in his cups - alcoholic not athletic. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 02 Apr 01 - 08:48 AM yes let's get on with it....
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Amergin Date: 02 Apr 01 - 08:49 AM Well, I'll be willing to help out in the orgy...... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 02 Apr 01 - 10:20 AM I'm here...not sure where Mick is... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 02 Apr 01 - 10:44 AM ah well you would Nathan...lol
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 17 Apr 01 - 07:38 AM Hey, where did everyone go? Did Matt get sacrificed? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 17 Apr 01 - 08:42 AM Sorry - I got a "hot" copy of the Mudcat calendar and have been busy. Uh Amergin, I am up for an orgy. But only if Micca is there too - a veritable satyr. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: alison Date: 17 Apr 01 - 08:44 AM OK ... where'd you get it from??????
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 17 Apr 01 - 10:01 AM I was thinking of starting a Walpurgisnacht/Beltane Eve thread closer to the time... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 17 Apr 01 - 01:00 PM Peg, explain. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Matt_R Date: 17 Apr 01 - 06:03 PM Walpurgis Night is the night when the Devil and lil demons come out and do bad things. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Amergin Date: 17 Apr 01 - 06:31 PM Of course I would, Ella, there is nothing worse than being around such a group of bonnie nymphs and not being able to do anything..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 17 Apr 01 - 08:00 PM Walpurgisnacht is really just another name for Beltane Eve/Mayday Eve...the night before the fertility/coming of summer festival...Beltane is one of the four main cross quarter festivals alomng with Samhain, Lughnasad, and Imbolc...
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 17 Apr 01 - 08:03 PM I'm not familiar with any of this, sounds like fun. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Micca Date: 18 Apr 01 - 03:44 AM for more info on Mayday, here is an article by Peg, scroll down the page.. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 18 Apr 01 - 08:12 AM Thanks for that info Micca. Very interesting. When I was a kid, we used to "hang May baskets". Didn't have a clue why, we just did.As I recall, the idea was to hang the basket on the doorknob, knock loudly, then run. If the recipient saw you, and could catch you, you had to submit to being kissed. I never could run very fast. One year, I found a dead sparrow and buried it in my May basket. My genius grand daughter was born on May 1st.Three of my siblings were born in May. I was born on the 10th. May is my favorite month. I ramble...sorry. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 18 Apr 01 - 08:15 AM May 1st is Walpurgisnacht...how fitting for Submission day at the ECU School of Art! Only by sundown the following day will we know who will be left standing... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Peg Date: 18 Apr 01 - 09:39 AM Matt, actually it is April 30th... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 18 Apr 01 - 10:14 AM Oh well...close enough for effect! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: Caitrin Date: 18 Apr 01 - 06:08 PM *peeks down from a convenient tree branch* Did I miss all the fun already? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 18 Apr 01 - 08:03 PM The satyrs have chased the nymphs into the woods, Bacchus is passed out, Persephony is out picking pomegranats, Matt is lost somewhere and Zeus is probably in OZ looking for the fair one. No, you havn't missed much. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 19 Apr 01 - 02:03 PM Actually the Almost Nude Mudact Calendar came out and they are all "busy" at the moment. Someone see to it that Matt isn't alone for his first viewing. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 19 Apr 01 - 08:55 PM Does anyone know that there have been two people shot in the back of the head in a theater? A. Lincoln was one... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: SINSULL Date: 19 Apr 01 - 09:35 PM OK I'll bite - who is the other? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tavern Rites of Spring 3 From: kendall Date: 19 Apr 01 - 11:16 PM Pee Wee Herman!!! Someone said he was planning to move to Maine, but, decided to "stick it out" in Florida. I'm in a very wierd mood tonight. |
