Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: GUEST,SINSULL Date: 23 Oct 01 - 09:12 PM Liz - any amount of chocolate for the secret to shutting him up. I have to spend another four hours in the car with him tomorrow! Lovable old coot, though. SINS |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: GUEST,Rogert the skiffler Date: 24 Oct 01 - 06:11 AM Those of us living vicariously on these threads demand full details (later if need be) of the Micca Muckle Tour! With mugshots, rap sheets, the whole enchilada. Do we need to stump up for the bail bondsman? RtS ( I must get out more) |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 24 Oct 01 - 06:36 AM Anyone know their plans for today? I've PMed Sinsull and Annamill but can't seem to reach them. Are they coming to NH today or tomorrow? My daughter's sick and I'm hoping it's tomorrow... Details, anyone? |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: GUEST,H.M.Customs and Excise Date: 24 Oct 01 - 08:20 AM Listen chaps, We're dreadfully sorry to inflict Micca upon you, what with all the other unwelcome things arriving in your land at the present time. However we would like to point out that the effects of a Micca attack are not as serious as they might appear. Yes, he can burble for hours on end, particularly with a captive audience, but there are simple measures which can be taken. One of the simplist is the cider approach. This can be effected in one of two ways. Either threaten notto let him have any cider until he agrees to be gagged, or pour more than six pints down his neck, at which point he will fall comatose and be rendered easily transportable. However, when transporting a comatose Micca, on no account should you use any hooks! In fact, the SOPs in the H.M.Customs Handbook advise that, in general, Miccas should be treated like any non-threatening mammal. Breeding is not recommended, however. When you've finished with your Micca you can either return him to the UK in the packaging provided (with duty pre-paid on his liver, of course) or let him loose in any US chemistry laboratory, where he will amuse himself for the forseeable future developing hitherto unknown explosives and cocktails which can be used in "Operation Infinite Hangover". Best wishes, The Exciseman |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Fortunato Date: 24 Oct 01 - 09:13 AM When last seen the fugitive was driving north with a gregarious gaggle of groupies. Under the guise of spreading joyous times and warm and fuzzy feelings, the suspect destroys schedules and demolishes work ethics. Puritans! Alert! The Pagans are among you and TOO MUCH FUN MAY RESULT! BEWARE.

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: annamill Date: 24 Oct 01 - 09:23 AM Last time I saw them, er.. actually just spoke to them, as I was at work in NY, was yesterday about noon and as explained to me, they were all heading toward Penna. to hang out for a while, then go over for the Tuesday night Mudcat Radio Show. Weren't they there? I worked late last night and I don't have a puter at home any more, so I don't get to hear the show at all anymore :-( According to plans, they were staying somewhere in PA, then heading up to Sinsulls this morning. Their plans after that, I don't know. So, where are the buggers? Love, Annamill |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Morticia Date: 24 Oct 01 - 09:24 AM ROTFLMAO....just make sure he comes back with all parts intact and no new odd behaviours....oh wait, how would we tell? |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Fortunato Date: 24 Oct 01 - 10:20 AM ROTFLMAO: Mort, my dear, what does that mean? Other than a passion for American Cider he remains as before. |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bat Goddess Date: 24 Oct 01 - 10:44 AM Okay -- as I understand it, Sinsull and Micca show up at The Press Room in Portsmouth, NH for the session this Friday night where there will be the Ceremonial Hand-Off of Micca (anybody bringing pipes?! -- or should there be a shanty?) from Sinsull to Animaterra. Animaterra already scoped out The Press Room (albeit on a non-session evening) during the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival last month and, as a result, knows all about the parking situation on Daniel Street. Good news to Sinsull -- I FOUND the guest room bed! I knew it was there someplace. And you can actually GET TO IT without major limb-bashing and black and blueness. (No bats -- they've left for the season, so you've lucked out again.) Bat Goddess |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bert Date: 24 Oct 01 - 12:30 PM I really don't know what you are all on about. The guy seems quite normal to me. Good singer, likes a jar or two, well travelled, good converstionalist, not really that old, and a bloody GREAT songwriter (The rotten SOD). In fact the perfect Mudcatter. Don't miss him when he gets to your town. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: annamill Date: 24 Oct 01 - 12:33 PM I thought he was pretty cool too, Bert. We have a new friend to love. L.A. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Oct 01 - 02:54 PM We are in NYC. The greeting party, all five cats, love Micca. Alice loved him enough to mark his jacket as her own...if you know what I mean. Giant sigh. Now I have to do his laundry! He was fairly quiet on the way up. Think we are wearing him out. Many thanks to Dick Swaine and family. Micca and I almost spent the night in the car but were rescued and then escorted to a wonderful breakfast this morning. Tomorrow we are on our way to New Hampshire. By the way - "Happy Birthday to me!" Nice to have such good company to celebrate with even if it is pizza and jug wine. Mary |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Fortunato Date: 24 Oct 01 - 02:59 PM Happy Birthday, Mary, my girl, have my little chum give you a hug for me. Many happy returns. Chance |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Oct 01 - 04:11 PM Keeping your little chum from hugging me has been a problem. He is running around my apartment in a towel - shades of the Getaway. And I live on the first floor. Will probably hear from the co-op board by Monday. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 24 Oct 01 - 04:16 PM Well, Mary, we'll have a proper birthday bash New Hampshire style when you get here! Thanks for being Micca's northern transport! We're all looking forward to learning the truth about this cider-guzzling gregarious, chatty, hug-o-matic with all the cool songs! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Cas Date: 24 Oct 01 - 04:33 PM Just dont let him sunbathe in a kilt! Its bad for the neighbourhood..lowers property values and depraves miners.. and pit ponies too. ask the squeak about the savlon! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Oct 01 - 04:38 PM Cas? Are you suggesting that I have him sunbathe without the kilt? He treated us all to the "altogether" at the Getaway. Not sure my neighbors are up to it. Although it might distract them from the Anthrax scare... |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Oct 01 - 05:19 PM Well, I just talked to the Bugger himself and (no surprise) he's having a high old time. New York is still trying to dig out from one disaster and now ........ Micca. When he returns to you across the pond, try to block in several days of time for him to talk about what all he's done and people he's met.......maybe a week or more. Sinsull said he's seems to be recharging at the moment for the New Hampshire onslaught......Allison my dear, I don't know what to tell you..........I'll light a candle. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: JedMarum Date: 24 Oct 01 - 05:37 PM After a long quiet peaceful drive to the FSGW gathering site, with a couple of old friends, and arriving late in the afternoon of a pretty Fall day - I was struck hard across the head with this outrageous fireball who calls himself, micca! He greeted us as we arrived at our cabin. I thought, "what did I get myself into??" To make matters worse, it turned out that this guy was my roommate! LOL micca threatened early on to sing us a few of his raunchy rugby songs, flash a few unsuspecting guests with the items hidden loosely beneath his kilt and turn us all on to some of his private stash of refined spirits ... so far as I know he made good on all those threats! micca turned out to be the 'treat of the weekend' - a free spirit with a love of life and song. Great to meet you micca! May you stay one step ahead if the INS! ;-) |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Oct 01 - 06:48 PM The sweet man just surprised me with a lovely mug and a bottle of Mumm's. Wonder if he expects to have some... |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Oct 01 - 07:17 PM Before any rumors start...I wonder if he expects some champagne...I am very tired. |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Oct 01 - 07:19 PM Micca on Tour ...and a cigarette after????. |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Oct 01 - 08:01 PM Jees, the little bastard is hard enough to shut up at the best of times..... And if you think he's cute, all I can say is, try spending a week or so with him. He ain't so cute then.... after 18 years I should know!!! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Oct 01 - 08:23 PM Micca on tour Liz, the supply of Chocolate Bourbon balls just dried up!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Oct 01 - 08:27 PM Liz - You have actually lasted a whole week with him? Valium????? And the Bourbon Balls are to be shared! Or else! SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Morticia Date: 25 Oct 01 - 07:44 AM How do you think I feel,Sins? I'm actually related to the little buggar! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Gervase Date: 25 Oct 01 - 07:55 AM Easy on yerself, Morticia! I'm related (albeit distantly) to various primates, some of them very messy eaters, but I don't let it get me down too much. Look on it this way, some people have skeletons in their cupboards - those related to Micca have whole bloody ossuaries! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bat Goddess Date: 25 Oct 01 - 10:03 AM Gee, Sins, do you feel as if you're spending all of your time in a car? And watch the bourbon balls on your drive to New Hampshire today -- would hate to have the local constabulary pull you over and find crumbs on your breath! Bat Goddess |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 25 Oct 01 - 11:19 AM We are about to get on the road AGAIN! Funny, without a car I rarely drive. I have quite literally done more driving in the past week than in the past two years. Very happy though - good company, wonderful music, happy times. Jed Marum's CD is on the CD (Maggie...SIGH)player and Kendall's tape is ready for the car. Let Animaterra know that we will be there about 6PM. I have spent a fair number of hours with Mudcat men and come away totally relaxed (no, not that kind of relaxed) and ready to take on the world. After three days with Micca I am ready for a week with one of our quieter Mudcat men. Liz and Morticia - you have my sympathy and respect. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Diva Date: 25 Oct 01 - 12:44 PM Very peaceful wasn't it Mudguard!!!!!and they looked so sweet too. Mind you nobody slept through Liz singing Zadok the Priest....rather good it were. Sins I think you must be due some sort of medal for your efforts...I'm just trying to work out what it should be!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Jeri Date: 25 Oct 01 - 12:51 PM SINS, I spent the first few HOURS of the drive back from the Getaway listening to Jed. Then Rick. Then A.L. Lloyd. He wasn't at the Getaway, but it seems I'd put a lot of mellow music in the car and didn't feel like lulabies would go well with my sleep deprivation. "Funny, without a car I rarely drive." It do make it difficult, don't it? Looking forward to Friday! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 25 Oct 01 - 12:57 PM 6 pm? Thanks for the alert! The fridge is stocked with hard cider and the weather's promising to turn from balmy Indian Summer to bitterly cold at just about that time. Hmmm, could it be an omen? Batten down, Portsmouth, we'll be there tomorrow! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 25 Oct 01 - 01:08 PM Are chocolate bourbon balls anything like Malteasers??? Strangely Micca never seems to talk that much when I'm there - why is that do you think? |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: annamill Date: 25 Oct 01 - 01:54 PM I MISS YOU GUYS!!! Tell Micca I Love him and he is welcome back to my abode any time. I didn't have enough time with all of you!! Damn work anyway!! SINSULL, you know you are certainly welcome as is my Bert. Just wait til summer and my pool opens... is it spring yet?? Love, Annamill |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: GUEST,Tinker Date: 25 Oct 01 - 02:10 PM Sinsull, I tried to post a Happy Birthday ! last night, but couldn't get in no matter what door I tried. By the time you get home there should be a small present on your door step. I found a CD on the Camsco table that seemed the perfect reflection of a birthday with Micca. Elsa Lanchester Sings Bawdy Cockney Songs--- after reading this thread, you might want to start with "Never Go Walking (Driving???) Without Your Hat Pin". Micca you were a treat, even if your dinner conversation could stand some refining. Birthin' babies and amputated feet aren't usually considered postprandial libations. Be good up north.... You're in my prayers Sinsull Tinker |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Diva Date: 25 Oct 01 - 05:48 PM Jane I think you scare him..thats why hes so quiet!!!!!hehehehehee |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Oct 01 - 07:51 PM Tinker - you only got the birthing babies and amputated feet? Be lucky he didn't show you his operation scar.... with the stories that go with it! If we should ever meet, I'll tell you the one about Micca. the kilt and the tube of antiseptic cream...... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Tinker Date: 25 Oct 01 - 08:20 PM Liz, I only missed the unvieling of the scar, because I didn't come in til after showers on Saturday morning....but I did miss the accompanying stories. Though we parted with Micca commenting, "You,I know I'll see again." Promise? Threat? Hmmmm... Tinker |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 26 Oct 01 - 12:07 AM Micca on Tour Here I am in Beautiful New Hampshire, the Autumn Colours have to be seen to be believed, I am having a wonderful time and the folks I am meeting are so Kind and hospitable!!! and friendly...The Getaway was great,(more details when I get home and collect my thoughts) Many thanks to Mary(Sinsull) and the many others I have been fortunate and privelaged to meet and spend time with.. I do not really have words to thank them anything I have thought of seems trite and inadequate so all I can say is Thanks everyonefor showing such warmth and Kindness to an MOG visiting. |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: CarolC Date: 26 Oct 01 - 12:12 AM Hey Micca. Got your PM. I'm sending my response to your membership, so you might not get it until you get home if you don't set your cookie on anyone's computer.
Hope the rest of your trip is wonderful. Carol |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: bill\sables Date: 26 Oct 01 - 07:43 AM You all seem to like him so much is there any chance of getting him a green card and keeping the bugger over there. It will give us, in the UK, a rest for a while. Bill |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: MMario Date: 26 Oct 01 - 08:37 AM Bill - it's kinda like a bachelor playing with someone else's kids. You enjoy it, as long as it is temporary! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bat Goddess Date: 26 Oct 01 - 08:48 AM Gee, Micca, I think peak foliage was LAST week -- but at least we haven't had high winds or rain to destroy what's left. (I've been trying to convince the color to stay in the leaves and the leaves to stay on the trees at least through your visit!) See you tonight! (Hope everybody can get to The Press Room more or less early -- 5-ish, perhaps?) Bat Goddess |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Fortunato Date: 26 Oct 01 - 08:59 AM Bat Goddess, please tell his Lordship that his faithful retainers here in Silver Spring stand in need of flight/airport information. Have a great time at your singaround. Micca. JudyO will be joining us for dinner at the Mile and anyone else you care to invite. Bob Hitchcock my partner in crime may make it as well. We can come back to the manse for music after. The front yard is filled with the red maple leaves you like so well. It's like a red carpet. Have fun, Chance |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bat Goddess Date: 26 Oct 01 - 12:46 PM Hey! Who's all coming to The Press Room this late afternoon/evening? Just got a call that Animaterra has been felled by the bug her daughter has and won't be able to make it, but Sinsull and Micca should (if the directions Tom just gave her were good, and they usually are) be there early. Barry, I think you said you'd be there. Naemanson and Charley? We've got to sing loud enough for Animaterra to hear, but not too loud to disturb her. (She's disturbed enough already ;-) Bat Goddess |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: GUEST Date: 26 Oct 01 - 12:50 PM I shall be there for the first time ever. Dick D. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Charley Noble Date: 26 Oct 01 - 12:55 PM Love to come but I've got to protect enough of my vocal chords to be a pirate on Saturday. Say, why don't you bring the whole crew up to Bath on Saturday evening to join the party? Brett may go to The Press Room anyway, although he's promised not to sing anything, and Dick is definitely planning to attend your gathering and you should encourage him to sing because he's not performing with us at the Pirate Halloween Party. Have a great time.:-( |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Jeri Date: 26 Oct 01 - 01:04 PM Dick D, please make sure you say "hi" to us. I'm the one with the hair and the fiddle. Geez, you Maine folks sure are delicate little flowers! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: MMario Date: 26 Oct 01 - 01:09 PM If Jeri's first two clues aren't enough - add the voice - 'cause she's got one incredible voice. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 26 Oct 01 - 01:15 PM copious tears And I won't be there after all- for Micca and Mary's whole visit I've been laid low with a nasty cold that's lodged in my throat, and I have laryngitis and a headache and- they've gone and left me to sorrow and mourn. Have a great time, all, and give the little bugger lots of hugs from me. I'm going to bed *sniff*. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Jeri Date: 26 Oct 01 - 01:22 PM I know Dick, Dick knows me...just takes a little while for the light in the attic to go on. Duh. Animaterra, hope you're feeling better soon. (I came down with a stupid cold about 3 1/2 weeks ago that is STILL hanging on! Hope you have something different.) |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bill D Date: 26 Oct 01 - 01:24 PM When is it at the Royal Mile (USA version) Sat, Chance? I have a little package to deliver before we send hisself back home. (I will be coming from N. Virginia after doing a craft show until 5ish) {Micca knows about this...whether he can REMEMBER after his whirlwind tour is anybody's guess} |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bat Goddess Date: 26 Oct 01 - 01:25 PM Hey Jeri -- check your e-mail. Or give me a call, or whatever. (Or both) BTW, Charley, I second what Jeri said about delicate little flowers . . . Bat Goddess |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Fortunato Date: 26 Oct 01 - 02:31 PM BillD. 7:00pm I think Bill all things, being equal. Join us. You aren't delivering the tape from Don Nichols are you? chance |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Charley Noble Date: 26 Oct 01 - 04:54 PM Hey, Jeri and Bat Goddess, we're offering you one of our best voices for abuse. If you want more of us to sing with, truck up to the Maine Maritime Museum Saturday evening. Best come armed, because we certainly will be! Sing Micca a couple of verses of "Wake Up, Susianna" for me, will ya. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 26 Oct 01 - 05:51 PM I don't know why you are all insulting poor Micca- I had a perfectly marvelous visit! If it wasn't for my laryngitis I would have matched his chatter and beaten it! |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bert Date: 26 Oct 01 - 08:53 PM We are all insulting him because insults are part of his cultural heritage. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Jeri Date: 27 Oct 01 - 12:40 AM Right, Bert. We're just trying to make him feel at home. Left him and SINS at Bat & Mudge's house a short while ago. I chased a stupid deer down the road about a half mile from my house. The poor thing looked at the car, and about 10 seconds later must have thought, "uh-oh - better run," so it did - right down the middle of the road. We had a fine night, and I think we all enjoyed his company and his songs. |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Big Mick Date: 27 Oct 01 - 08:09 AM I insult him to show him that I care about him........if this must be explained, then you won't get it........LOL. I have never enjoyed someone's company more, but then again, I didna hae ta travel with the wee man. Mary, m'love, you are a Saint. Your reward awaits thee. Mick |
|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Jeri Date: 27 Oct 01 - 02:12 PM Mudge, Bat and Micca ought to be at the airport about now. I went back to join them and SINSULL for coffee and quiche. I should warn the DC folks that Micca may be a bit depressed when he gets there. It seems he fell madly in love while he was here, and the parting was difficult. He was weeping sad tears into her fluffy pink feathers, and kissed her passionately on the beak before taking his leave - perhaps never to see her again. Be kind to him. |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bill D Date: 27 Oct 01 - 11:14 PM I just left Micca at the pub 30 minutes ago...he is in FINE fettle and ready to hop on the plane tomorrow....the good news is, he should sleep for DAYS when he gets home, as we allowed him precious little while he was here!.....I will allow himself to regale you with the details, including just how he concluded the sipping and savoring aspects of the trip...*big grin*...and Fortunato's glorious attempt to make Micca feel welcome to return next year... ah, it was an experience to be remembered for all!..look out, UK, here he comes.... more like he is now than he ever was before!

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Fortunato Date: 27 Oct 01 - 11:43 PM Micca on tour I wish to go on record and register my grateful thanks to Mary Sinsull for her unfailing good humour and support and generally all round niceness during the last week, she laughed in the face of adversity(in spite of the Hansell school of map Directions) and took lightly those times when it could have been more difficult... I miss you already,Mary, and I thank you for your support and tolerence, Love, Micca (copy from the BD thread) Just dont mention the pink!!! |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Big Mick Date: 27 Oct 01 - 11:51 PM MICCA, I would like to go on record as saying what a pleasure it was to meet you. You were a wonderful guest, and I hope we remain friends for a long time. You handled a lot of jest with humor and good grace. The pleasure was mine to have met you. Now......about your wardrobe........specifically those pj's............LOL. Mick |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bert Date: 28 Oct 01 - 12:03 AM Sorry about those directions. I was forgetting about New Jersey road signs. To get to I95 South you had to take the exit labelled I95 North. And the directions to cross the bridge into Pennsylvania didn't get signposted until about two miles AFTER you should have turned off. Next time you travel in a foriegn country - buy a bloody map. Of course that still won't tell you about the road signs. |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Oct 01 - 12:06 AM Well Cousin Micca, it has been an equal pleasure having your trip as fodder for the thread mill here. I'm sorry that our only contact this time was an all too brief phone talk, but it was wonderful to have those few minutes with you just the same. We all look forward to additional info when you reach home and as always, it is great to have you on the 'Cat. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: JedMarum Date: 28 Oct 01 - 10:40 AM LOL - Micca, still going strong, eh? And fell in love with Mary Sinsull, by all accounts? Well, maybe you're not so daft afterall! I hope you enjoy the rest your trip ... but please leave the fauna of USA alone. We're protective of their parentage! |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bat Goddess Date: 28 Oct 01 - 11:46 AM It's NOT idle speculation -- there were witnesses! (The bribe money can be left in the hollow tree, next to the stone wall, just this side of The Rock, before you get to the shirt nailed to the other tree.) (quietly: "Thank you.") Oh, ah, what incident? Nothing happened that I saw. Bit of a bore, really, we all fell asleep after a really nice cup of tea. Gee, wish we could have had some interesting conversation while Micca was here. What do you have to do to get him to talk? Bat Goddess |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: GUEST,Fortunato in the Lab Date: 28 Oct 01 - 03:46 PM Well, Susette and I dropped Micca at the airport in plenty of time. He was falling asleep in the backseat, he's worn to a frazzle. We took him for a short hike by the Potomac River and a picnic on the way to the airport. Last night with had dinner with him and Bill D at the Royal Mile. Lots of good conversation. It's been a great visit. And so this chapter ends. |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 28 Oct 01 - 04:20 PM Worn to a frazzle? - he falls asleep in the car on the way to the supermarket, and that's only 5 mins! (10 if he directs....) LTS |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 29 Oct 01 - 01:54 PM Speaking of birds: word from New Hampshire is that a somewhat despondant flamingo layed two eggs this morning. One was accidentally scrambled into Curmudgeon's breakfast - Linn finished off the rum cake and bourbon balls with her morning coffee and the ...well. The second is carefully nestled into a tartan shawl while Miss Flossie sits quietly and anxiously upon it humming "My Lady Of The Darkness". The question is: "Will Micca do the right thing and make an honest flamingo of her or abandon her and her offspring to the bitter winter and sniggering locals?" Time will tell. SINSULL, trying to imagine what this poor little chickie will look like. |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Tinker Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:52 PM This made me giggle this morning as I was listening to songs I brought home from the Getaway... There are several more verses but you get the idea....

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 31 Oct 01 - 01:05 AM Er... Animaterra....? Isn't it time for your medication? (Luckily) Micca was still jet/festival lagged when he appeared on my doorstep with Chanteyranger, so I was spared the worst.... however, he did tell me about the flamingo, and I sincerely hope he'll do the honest thing.... I'll stand Godparent if you need me to.... And he did deliver vast quantities of chocolate, from my American friends, for which I thank you from the bottom of my stomach!! Chanty is charming and should already be on a train to Victoria to pick up the Gatwick express to wing his way homewards.... he also drank vast quantities of water.... hope there's a cloakroom on the train.....

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Nov 01 - 02:00 AM I think he just works and sleeps at the moment - no change there then.... It can only mean he's preparing a 16 page monologue about his trip, entitled 'In the Boonies with a Flamingo' or 'Travels with my exotic bird'.... 'MudCat 'Merica and Flamingo Fetishes'? Run and hide whilst you can...... ! LTS |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: SINSULL Date: 01 Nov 01 - 03:56 PM I am beginning to see a pattern here. We in the colonies love Micca, his sense of humor, his odd dress, even his songs and voice. You, across the pond, find him loud, intrusive, bawdy,and crude. So...how about we keep him and you can have your pick of the litter from the States or Canada? Gargoyle would make for an even swap. Or maybe Kendall? Let us know and we'll get the paperwork started. |

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: MMario Date: 01 Nov 01 - 04:02 PM They are probably just jealous of his sweet, outgoing, lovable nature.

Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Nov 01 - 05:37 PM Try keeping him for a month or more and see how you get on.... that kilt doesn't get any fresher you know!!! LTS |

|
Subject: RE: Help: Micca sightings:Where's the bugger now? From: Bat Goddess Date: 02 Nov 01 - 10:08 AM Ah, kilt refresher. Sounds like there's an untapped market. Shall we make a pump spray or aerosol? With a scent of new mown hay? or a nice peaty single malt? (Eau de Laphroaig) Should be on everyone's Christmas list . . .
