Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Deni Date: 26 Sep 01 - 12:55 AM Hi All 135 dopey, daft, insane, lighthearted, amusing, crazy, termite-laden messages now and I think I've 'met' enough members of the inner and outer mudcat clique to be going along with. Steve Parkes has jumped in to my attention and I now see him as a real person, that's if any of us are real. (See earliest couple of messages.) Shall we abandon this thread, or once in motion is it unstoppable? I like Hawker's idea of starting a thread on school initiation ceremonies. i have a feeling we'll all turn out to have been severly initiated, which explains the way we are now. Aargh gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Lepus Rex Date: 25 Sep 01 - 03:14 PM Sorry, Jack. I've been called an Inner-Clique member by trolls, too, even though I've been a card-carrying Outer Cliquer for a year and a half now. You've merely been nominated. There are forms to fill out, dark satanic rituals to perform (goats involved), catfish-shaped brands to be applied to buttocks, and secret handshakes to learn before you'll be a REAL Inner Cliquer. Sorry. :( ---Lepus Rex |

The Mudcat Cliquie Acceptance Speech, as printed in BillD's manual, is as follows: "I'd like to thank the members of the Inner Clique for recognizing true genius when they see it. Unfortunately, I have no one else to thank for this honour but myself..." ~Pushmi |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 25 Sep 01 - 03:06 PM APPARANTLY I am in the Clique!!!! Some troll just said so!!! I am so honoured, This is the proudest day of my life!!! I would like to thank the producers the writers and special thanks to the director of photography for only showing my good side. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Jeri Date: 25 Sep 01 - 02:20 PM I guess my favorite key to play in must be F##, then. My favorite key to sing in is C.197. This is because I tend to treat A440 as a mere suggestion. Honestly, I just stuck the notes into Cakewalk and used the chord analyzer thingie. I believe this chord is frequently used for songs in the dissonian mode. (Which is also what most of my singing is done in.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: M.Ted Date: 25 Sep 01 - 12:47 PM Rick, Jeri and I are both having a bit of musical fun with you--me with a bit of nearly nonsensical jargon, and Jeri with some enharmonic naming fun--the notes in her "standard" D#maj7 6/9 chord would be "D# F## A# B# C## E# " which are the enharmonic equivalent of C D Eb F G Bb --a messy example that they sometimes use in music notation classes . Just shows how far we'll go to make a joke! Incidentally, if you get one of your students to whack away on that chord, you can improvise, using an Eb major scale, and it sounds just dandy if you move down to the relative *AEOLIAN MODE*(You forgot to mention PeterT!) |

From: Donuel Date: 25 Sep 01 - 12:33 PM When you can post an obscure comment that is only understood by a few insiders, then you will you be approaching the outer nexus of the insider clique. To be a true insider no comment of yours can be deciphered by anyone. |

The official Mudcat Inner Clique, Eastern Chapter, annual meeting will be held at the Getaway. It will be Sun, in the showers, after everyone gets up, probably sometime around 2PM. Party hats and waterproof kazoos are optional. |

From: Bill D Date: 25 Sep 01 - 12:16 PM anyway...you don't take GUITARS in the shower, 'spaw, they take up too much space.....you take plastic ukeleles! Makes a good back scrubber if you velcro a Dobie pad to it...(and if you take the strings off, you can keep extra pads of variable grits in it)....but, maybe one of those backpacker guitars WOULD work...hmmmm |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Steve Parkes Date: 25 Sep 01 - 12:12 PM Sorry, Doc--I'm just updating my list of friends' & acquaitances' embarassing habits, that's all. You have a page to yourself, isn't that nice! Squeaky-clean Steve. Isn't it time somebody started a new thread now? |

From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Sep 01 - 11:53 AM I ain't showerin' with ya' Rick........ain't happenin'..........no way...............'course if you agree to leave the guitar outside, I might consider it.............especially if you have a good back scrubber.........and maybe some of that real good smellin' soap...............some tea tree oil shampoo would be nice too.................can we have the water pretty hot? Spaw...ready to lather up |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: GUEST,Dco Rock Date: 25 Sep 01 - 11:51 AM Steve, I sense some interest on your part..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Rick Fielding Date: 25 Sep 01 - 11:37 AM Ted and Jeri. I shoulda knowed!! Even when you write ten "clique jokes" in a row......there ain't no such thing as a "joke chord"! At a teaching festival (The Woods Music and Dance Camp) a few years ago, one of the campers (in a frisky mood, I thought) challenged me to name the chord he was playing. It sounded awful, but being an amiable sort I went through the "head math" and came up with a plausible answer complete with sharp this, and flat that. A couple of minutes later I took this person's guitar to explain a little fingerpicking pattern.....and discovered that they had no idea how to TUNE the damn thing! With proper tuning their "bizarre" chord became a D7th! But I digree....this is a "clique" thread. I always thought that the REAL Mudcat clique were the ones who'd showered NEKKID with each other! Rick |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Steve Parkes Date: 25 Sep 01 - 11:34 AM So Doc, you like your buttocks to get a good scrubbing, eh? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Jeri Date: 25 Sep 01 - 10:31 AM Say Rick, I'm a fiddle player, so I don't know much about chords, but isn't that a standard D#Maj7/6/9 3rd inversion? Sounds like what they play whenever the murderer is stalking the victim. Victim slowly walks, but begins to pick up speed when he/she hears the footsteps of the murder and this chord. Cut to murderer also picks up speed. Shot of late night city streetlight reflecting off knife blade... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: GUEST,Doc Rock Date: 25 Sep 01 - 10:21 AM I don't want to be a rumor monger, but some guy in a bar told me that his 3rd cousin says that all Mudcat inner clique members have both I.D. cards (worn dog tag style) as well as a bar code on their left buttock. My question is whether or not the bar code is a painful tattoo-like procedure or if is more like magic marker that will wash off with a good scrubbing? Even permanent marker wouldn't be too bad, I'm just sacred of needles. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Crazy Eddie Date: 25 Sep 01 - 06:33 AM Steve Parkes, Welcome to the outer clique. (secret left-handed handshake) You don't happen to have any ants about you do you? Only this Aardvark is complaining of hunger again. It tried to eat Aunt Maude this morning. Must be my accent that confused it. John in Hull, if you get a reply which says you're NOT in the inner clique, you're very welcome to join the Outer Clique. If you can e-mail me a few pounds of ants or termites, I can almost guarantee you a position as grand panjarandum, of the Order of The Aardvark. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Steve Parkes Date: 25 Sep 01 - 03:28 AM John, we outer-cliquers should start birthday threads for each other. Many of 'em, old son. Geoff, that "happy birthday" thing is a cracker! You should set it to music--just think of the royalties that it would generate if everybody sang it at birthday parties: you'd make a fortune. Steve P.S. Thaks for the good wishes, Joe, on behalf of all us OC-ers. Don't leave it so long next year! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 25 Sep 01 - 01:46 AM I still dont know if I am in this inner clique, can somebody let me know please? I live in Yorkshire, have posted before 8.30AM on a Sunday, but nobody made a birthday thread for me. I am not bothered if I am in the clique or not, but I just need to know! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Clifton53 Date: 24 Sep 01 - 05:16 PM Happy Birthday to everyone!! Deni, I'm flattered, I think. I have the archers in my sights! But what of those huge bubbling cauldrons of who-knows-what that await me? Clifton |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Joe Offer Date: 24 Sep 01 - 05:01 PM I really like you, Spaw, but do I need to start a new thread to say that? Happy birthday, Steve, and everybody else. There - I have fulfilled my social obligations for the year. But, social obligations aside, I STILL like you, Spaw. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Geoff the Duck Date: 24 Sep 01 - 04:40 PM Spaw - the big thing about Birthdays is that it is TRADITIONAL to all say the same thing. E.g. Happy Birthday to you! (1 - first line) Happy Birthday to you! (2 - first line again) Happy Birthday (3 - half of first line repeated) Dear Steve (4 and note the clever bit - you put in the name of the person whose birthday it is) Happy Birthday to you! (5 - first line reprised) I admit that there is nothing very clever about this, but it is common practice in most of the English speaking world! Perhaps Joe should institute a rolling programme of 52 threads, dated for each week of the year, where we can post felicitations to all those people who become older buggers during those seven days? That way we would only clog up a fraction of the server space that we sometimes do now! p.s. If this is posting number 100 on this thread, do I get the special prize of free membership to the Inner Clique???? Geoff the Duck! Treasurer of the Inner Quack! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Sep 01 - 04:02 PM Steve, we of the Inner Clique have been given orders by the Chief Thread Diddler, one Joe Offer, that the birthday threads are just ridiculous becasue they all say the same thing over and over. Since then, I have personally tried to heed Father Joebro's advice. I mean we haven't stopped the threads entirely, but there do seem to be a few less....but on all the birthday threads I have made a PERSONAL effort to assure that they DO NOT say the same things over and over. I do this because I really want Joe to like me! Therefore, if we are to consider this your birthday thread, and I notice that folks are saying the same things over and over to you......"Happy Birthday Steve"......It is incumbent on me, as per what Joe said, to be positive that not everyone says the same thing.
KISS MY ASS YOU FOCKER
Nobody said THAT did they??? Joe will be proud and happy!!!!Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: M.Ted Date: 24 Sep 01 - 02:42 PM Did you really want a name for that chord, Rick? It was just an example, right? Because if you did, first, it depends on what key you are playing in, and then, it also depends on whether there is a B or a Bb in the melody--the thing is that it is a compound chord, or, the way you have presented it, a partial compound chord--the critical thing may also be the inversion that you use, and, whether it is intended to be sounded simultanously, sequentially, or antiphonally-and then, at least in terms of naming, there is that whole question that Hindemith raised having to do with the fact that inversions are not really equivalent, because they each speak differently for the simple reason that, depending on which notes are in the low range, there could be whole different set of harmonics. so, depending on that the notes are, there could be a whole "phantom chord" that is the strongest voice, even though it is only hinted at in the notes that are sounded-- |

Sorry to disappoint you, Harpgirl. You almost certainly have got a ruler big enough for what you had in mind, but not big enough for his mouth. My ruler is very handy for rapping knuckles, as certain people will find out if they don't behave themselves. Sue |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Amos Date: 24 Sep 01 - 10:50 AM Chere Mlle Pullyu: It has come to our attention that you are an executive member of the organization known as the Mudcat Inner Clique. It has further been brought to our attention that said organization has been claiming to be exempt from taxes under the statute for non-profit organizations, 401 (c) 3. However, it is my duty to point out that this status becomes forfeit in the event that any non-profit organization is found to be in violation of the Federal "Compassion for All Life Forms and Politically Correct Thought Standards for Federally Recognized Not For Profit Organizations Act" of 2000, which was signed into law by President Wm Jefferson Clinton at 11:59 PM on his last day of office. It has further come to our attention that the Mudcat Inner Clique has been using other life forms -- specifically civets and opossums -- for non-indigenous purposes and in unnatural ways. If this practice is confirmed, be advised that your non-profit status for the Mudcat Inner Clique will be forfeit retroactively, with back taxes on past revenues payable back to 1998. In this event you will be sent a bill for the amount requireed to satisfy the resultant tax lien. Our office estimates the full due amount including thirty-five per cent (35%) penalty will total approximately $13.47. Please advise that your organization is prepared to pay this amount within thirty (30) days of receiving such a bill. If we do not receive written assurance to this effect from your office within the next eleven working days, please be advised the matter will be forgotten in a haze of bureaucratic mismanagement and ineptitude. Sincerely,
Whoosapon Phurst, Esq. |
