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: 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: 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: 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: 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 - 07:52 AM Crazy Eddie, we had some in the kitchen a while back, but they've moved back out again. I'll see if I can catch some and send the on. Steve |

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: 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: 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: 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: GUEST,Dco Rock Date: 25 Sep 01 - 11:51 AM Steve, I sense some interest on your part..... |

Spaw...ready to lather up |
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? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? 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: Jeri Date: 25 Sep 01 - 12:25 PM Rick, Ted has "wetware" (a brain) and I have software... 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. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? 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. |
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!) |

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: 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: JenEllen Date: 25 Sep 01 - 03:13 PM Ugh...Jack...How many times do we have to go over this? 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: 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 |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat inner clique? Who's in it? From: Donuel Date: 25 Sep 01 - 03:23 PM For the most part I found the rituals here made Masonic rituals appear tame but the catfish liver oil was really over the top. UCCCHH! |

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: Steve Parkes Date: 27 Sep 01 - 03:30 AM Surely you mean "ockle, cockle, ockle, cockle", Deni? Yes, I'm real enough, and I have the offspring to prove it! Of course, if you've seen the photo, you might not be so sure ... Steve |
