Subject: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Oct 01 - 03:54 PM Okay......Gimmee a piece of the breast.........kinda' scrawny ain't it...........(munch)..........geeziz does this taste bad or what?............ So Congrats to the new "Winnigest Coach in College Football"..........Joe Paterno, the great coach of Penn State has done it and done it against one of only six teams that he had a losing record against...Ohio State. After a poor start on the year and a pretty weak team, Paternon has done wonders in the past two weeks, aided today by an Ohio State team that was red hot early and freezing cold late. .....Okay, gimme a wing..........Christ there ain't no meat on this fucker at all.........Probably just as well.........Ya' know the bones have better flavor than this friggin' meat!!!!..........munchCRUNCHcrumblemoosh ................gag...........Yeah...................... Max, Jeff, and Doc Mark.......... I congratulate you on this year's accomplishment. I make no apologies for OSU as it was a pretty decent game. Mills did a great job and here in Columbus we are starting a campaign to volunteer the Ohio State quarterback, Steve Bellisari, for service in the State Department. We figure that Bush and Powell can use a man like him in their fight against the Taliban. Forget the missiles and commando raids, why not send in Bellisari to overthrow the Taliban. He overthrows everybody else................ ........gack.............aw geez..........I'm stuffed.........gotta' eat that last piece huh?..............Hmmmmm...What the hell part a crow is this anyway?....................The asshole huh..................oh well..........................munch............BARFGAGBLAAEEUULLKKK...........aw damn...............somebody get me some of that gawdawful Pennsylvania beer to drink....yeah....Iron City......Tastes about the same as a crow's asshole and gives you a headache to boot.........got a headache anyway, so what the fuck...............glurgleglurgleglurgle......oy.................

What the hell is that?!! Those guys had about as much to do with the success as you did with your team's lack of it! I think I'll go fishing...unless someone has figured out how to make that into a team sport with league standings, foam #1 fingers and all that crap. Cheesh! |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Oct 01 - 04:15 PM Allan, I guess you ain't been watchin' all them wacko Bass fishin' shows huh? They got teams and everything! "Ranger Boats" vs. "Shakespeare Reels"....You can get hats and clothes and assorted of paraphernalia........ Sorry Allan.....Sailing has gone the same way too I'm afraid........ Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Allan C. Date: 27 Oct 01 - 04:52 PM In my opinion only thing more dull than watching a fishing show is watching a televised baseball game. I suppose I should be more sensitive to what you folks consider to be important. After all, it all seems to mean something to you. I just never could see the point of getting all excited about sports in which I wasn't directly involved. I guess I haven't experienced the vicarious thrills that some seem to get. It's not that I don't like to watch a good game from time to time (but VERY rarely!). It's just that I couldn't care less who wins. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Oct 01 - 05:09 PM Believe me I DO understand Allan. A lot of this is a simple joke between Max and I....I got a couple PM's while the game was on. Am I a big fan? No, but you don't live here without being aware of OSU football....even Karen can't tune it out. But on sports in general..........It seems the older I get the less I enjoy them. I can barely sit through football of any sort now and baseball isn't what it used to be for me and I rarely keep track or watch much. Both are games I loved to play. Perhaps the further removed I become frrom actually doing it............I dunno'....A lot of sports is simply diversion for many of us, as is music. I have an equally hard time understanding how anyone can go batcrap about a football game, buying all the foam fingers and all, as I do at times getting into trad research........both reach a point where I don't really care. AND...sometimes both can reach a point where I am REALLY into a particular song or game. I am still addicted to various forms of racing. Sailing has gotten a bit of coverage on the tube finally and I can relate to the guys in the boats. I truly enjoy watching auto racing and I make no excuse for it. Even the good ol' boys running in circles excite me. Sorry, I'm a real cretin when it comes to this sport! Case in point, I have the Busch race from Phoenix on as I type...and cook. Gotta' go now in fact since I have to go get my pumpkin out of the pressure cooker.......(and I hate cooking shows, but I'd love to do one!!!!) Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Peter T. Date: 27 Oct 01 - 05:11 PM Isn't it fascinating that if you put two boring television sports together, you get one really interesting one. Golf and fishing -- underwater golf!!! yours, Peter T. |

Tonight 'Spaw prepares Crow de jure, 'Possum Butt ala Ocerina', and fries up some Mudcat - to the musical stylings of Reg, Reg and Reg on tiples; with special musical guests 'The Beef Brothers'.

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: DougR Date: 27 Oct 01 - 05:32 PM I'm glad you have acquired a taste for Crow, Spaw. After the world series, you can have a second helping! :>) DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Oct 01 - 05:37 PM Oh, Christ...a cooking show where the chef farts loudly every minute or so, while dismemembering Billy the Talking Bass on a cutting board. Gahhh... What the hell is this thread actually about? Is it another William Shatner thread that's gotten derailed somehow? One thing, Spaw, if you have reached the point where most televised sports are boring you...it's a sign that maturity may be just around the corner! Brace yourself for life-altering changes... By the way, Hesperis and I were in the grocery the other day, and we saw an item that we were very tempted to buy for you. Well, 3 items. They are Halloween-related toys, battery powered figures of Frankenstein, Dracula, and a generic witch with green skin. When you press a button they dance to a tune, and repeat some inane phrases, but that's not all! The really notable thing about these 3 figures is the totally sappy do-gooder faces on them suckers! They look like that toothless, clawless, and clueless tiger that Esso has had in their ads the last while. You just want to put the things through a trash compactor the moment you see them. Your boy would probably love 'em though...till the batteries ran down. We were gonna send you at least one of the little abominations, but we're too cheap. So we didn't. Maybe we can spare the dough to purchase you a dancing Santa for Christmas, though. Or another talking fish. Stay tuned. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: SINSULL Date: 27 Oct 01 - 05:52 PM LH - half price after Halloween and send it for Christmas. Spaw loves such things. I have my eye on a set of "Deliverence Bears" playing the entire tune on banjos while singing and dancing. Only non-sexy banjo players I have ever seen and annoying as hell! AW Allan! Kendall feels the same way about ball games. My two favorite Mudcat Men and neither one will buy me a beer at a Mets game. Micca would but he gets confused about the plays and screams "Bloody Hell!!!" all the time. I don't like to attract attention to myself in a NY ball park. Spaw - sewrves you right for missing the Getaway! Try a little salt and ketchup. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Oct 01 - 08:13 PM Kendall, in your case, that's because you never did give a crap about any sport. Out of a sense of tradition I understand that you tried golf at one point, however it wasn't your thing either. Your Wood shots went exactly there....in the woods, and your Iron shots seemed to hit every piece of metal equipment on the course including three tractors, two Greens mowers, a well head, and a ball washer being used by a little old lady who beat the crap out of you with her Mashie (5 Iron). As a matter of fact Kendall, I'm told that you only connected well with two balls all day and that was when you stepped on a sand rake. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Sorcha Date: 27 Oct 01 - 08:42 PM but, but, but........spaw, isn't SEX a sport????? Surely Kendall is not disinterested in that........???? |

Kendall.........you ain't gotta put up for this load of shite.........with your spayshule relationship with Mudcat Maxie, you could probably pillowtalk some in his ear and end these bastards tormenting ya.........LOL. Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Troll Date: 27 Oct 01 - 10:08 PM Pay these ruffians no mind Kendall. They are simply jealous of our maturity and vast experience. We more mature Mudcats are above such petty bandiage. troll |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Oct 01 - 10:16 PM Well, that goes a long way toward explaining why Kendall isn't interested in women, taking them to ballgames and all of that............... BTW DOUG.......Bad night for the Yanks at this point, but it's a series and it ain't over til it's over. Having had one helping of crow, I could possibly have another.....or you could. If they DB's do win, I suppose they'll go the way of the Florida Marlins.....Owner scores big, baseball loses. I tend to root for teams who value a deep farm system. (:<)) Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Oct 01 - 10:44 PM Series? Is there some kind of series on? Huh? Where's the puck? :-) - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Sorcha Date: 27 Oct 01 - 10:46 PM "deep farm system"........as in aspargus farms??? Deep indeed. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: DougR Date: 28 Oct 01 - 12:00 AM You are under the impression that the DBacks don't have a farm system? Hmmm. Where you suppose Craig Counsell and Erubial Durazo came up from? Hmmm? I realize it's a series, of course, and the Yankees probably LET the Diamondbacks win the first one. They were being polite, probably, because the game was played at BOB. I think that was nice of them. Anyway, I can understand if Kendall had that kind of experience on the golf course, why he is not particularly interested in sports. If he had that experience with the sand rake, it could explain why he turned his sexual interest from women to Llamas and sheep. They probably don't critique performance as much women might. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Troll Date: 28 Oct 01 - 12:39 AM Doug! You promised you wouldn't tell! Shame! Pay no attention to Doug. He's raving again. Talking that way about poor Kendall. Especially after that golf-course "accident". Honestly, Doug. Sometimes you just amaze me with the things you come up with. troll |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Crazy Eddie Date: 28 Oct 01 - 12:44 AM "Spaw Eats Crow" is not news. "Crow Eats Spaw" would be. To misquote some newspaperman or other |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Mark Cohen Date: 28 Oct 01 - 12:47 AM Sorry, 'Spaw, I was at a writing workshop in Volcano and missed the game. Or maybe I was at the beach...yeah, that's better, I was at the beach. But if it'll make you feel better, NYAAAAAH NYAAAAAH NYAAAAAAHHH! Oh, and by the way, I saw a really good movie here in Hilo last night. It was called "Songcatcher". Ever hear of it? Seems like something Mudcatters would like--I'm surprised no one's mentioned it... Aloha, Mark |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Oct 01 - 01:30 AM "Songcatcher?" "Songcatcher?" Really? Huh.....I don't think I recall it? IS it about folk music or is it that thing where Yogi Berra sings songs about baseball? Hmmmm........Tell ya' what Mark, if you can't find it mentioned before here, maybe you could go ahead and start a thread about it. I mean like I know there's a few of us who like baseball and if it's the folk music thing, why that's even better! Do you know if it's on tape? Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Mark Cohen Date: 28 Oct 01 - 02:22 AM Naw, it wasn't Yogi, it was that guy who was afraid to go after pop flies when they were too close to the stands: Chicken Catcher Torre. He was a pretty good player; too bad he didn't do much after he retired. He was pretty good in the movie, though. And what the hell are you doing up so late on a Saturday night...on the computer? Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Banjer Date: 28 Oct 01 - 04:49 AM Take me out to the ball game, That's the way we should go, We'll all have some peanuts and cracker jax, And 'Spaw can just watch and eat crow! Mark, sounds real good, tell us more about 'Songcatcher', I bet 'Spaw would love to hear about it!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: kendall Date: 28 Oct 01 - 05:03 AM Spaw, I have learned to not drink coffee while reading your posts. If you knew how much it takes to make me laugh, you would be very pleased with yourself! BTW I used to play baseball, and, did some boxing, hunting, archery, skeet, trap shooting etc. but, I guess I just outgrew them. As far as watching a baseball game, I would rather watch cans rust. More action. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: lady penelope Date: 28 Oct 01 - 06:43 AM Being british, I have NO idea what this is about, but the eating crow narrative had me in fits! Make him do it again!!!! ; ) TTFN M'Lady P. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Gervase Date: 28 Oct 01 - 07:01 AM My dear Lady P, I think they're either talking about a variety of rounders or some perversion of rugby league, played with plastic padding and compulsory advertising. But what the heck - they're all games. Now fishing - that's a sport! Not so sure about sex, though. I'm inclined to regard it more as a pastime. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Tinker Date: 28 Oct 01 - 07:31 AM Don't follow football since I don't want any of my boys to get the idea I might let them play the damn sport... but they do love it. 'Spaw I asked my resident expert(age 10) about OSU to see what kind of team they have this year. "They can't win this year." "Why?" "Don't know. Offensive is good. Defensive is good. Just can't win a game. They even lose to bad teams." "Well is it coaching ?" Heck no, they've got a great coach." No wonder I can't understand this game. Tinker |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Banjer Date: 28 Oct 01 - 08:33 AM Spaw, I've found by experience that if you have to eat crow, it tastes a little better if you wash it down with copious quantities of Wild Turkey! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Oct 01 - 08:48 AM LOL Banj....I'll keep that in mind. Kendall, it's always my highest goal to get a laugh from someone like you, and especially you. Thanks. Tink, your 10 year old has a perfect understanding of the game! Really! OSU has a team and coaching that should be winning more, but it just ain't happening this year. Tressel is in his first year here as head coach and he's pretty well liked......If this were his 4th year, people would be screaming for his head.....not because he's doing a bad job but simply because every head coach at OSU has to live with the "Legend" of Woody Hayes. But the last head coach here had a better winning percentage than Woody did, but he failed in the only category that matters. OSU could lose every game by 50 points and still have a successful season if they do ONE thing......beat Michigan. If Tressel can pull it off with this team, he'll be loved and revered (for at least a year). Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: SINSULL Date: 28 Oct 01 - 02:02 PM So sorry, Mick. But it was hard to take the proposal seriously coming from a man who has "Wizard of Oz" fantasies. I did name a kitten after you - high praise, indeed. Pastime, Gervase? I would have thought you considered it a sport given that you have to hunt up a willing sheep before... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Mark Cohen Date: 28 Oct 01 - 02:03 PM That's all right, Gervase, now you know how we Yanks feel about so-called "Australian rules football." Hmmmm...sex a pastime? Could be, though for me it seems to be more in the nostalgia category. But there was the wonderful scene in that Woody Allen movie (whose title has been temporarily lost to me due to ginkgo deficiency) where Howard Cosell did a live play-by-play commentary on Woody's wedding night. Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: DougR Date: 28 Oct 01 - 02:25 PM I think that was one of his early movies, wasn't it Mark? Maybe "Take the Money and Run?" DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Troll Date: 28 Oct 01 - 10:08 PM Kendall old buddy, I don't quite know how to break this to you, you saying that there was more action in watching cans rust than in watching BaseBall. Cans don't rust anymore. They are all made of aluminium now. They corrode and it's just not the same. I know that, Down East in Maine, things are a tad behind the rest of the country but sooner of later the modern world moves in and it's best to be prepared. Personally, I prefer to watch the cement on the patio erode. That's about as much excitment as I can stand. troll |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Oct 01 - 01:28 AM Doc Markohenmaku.........The movie you're after there is "Bananas" which was one of his first....I think "Take the Money and Run" was the first full length feature for Woody, but that's a guess. Cosell also did the assasination scene when the dictator was killed in the opening of the movie, or pretty early on. I saw Bananas again a couple of years back and realized Fyvush Finkel was the patient in one of the early scenes too. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Mark Cohen Date: 29 Oct 01 - 05:07 AM Now how could I have forgotten "Bananas"? When I was starting out in practice, I used to explain to parents that if they wanted to help their children learn to talk, instead of saying "What's this? What's that?", it was better to describe everything you or your child was doing or looking at, using full sentences. I would say, "Just pretend you're Howard Cosell." Now if I say that I just get blank stares. Oh, well... Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: SharonA Date: 29 Oct 01 - 10:27 AM I have a couple of questions about "Joe-pa" (Joe Paterno) (formerly Papa Joe) that have been bugging me for some time, and I guess this is the place to ask: All the sports commentators I've heard have made a big thing out of Joe's being the "Winningest Coach in College Football" because he's coached a team to one more victory than has Bear Bryant... but how many years did it take him to do that, and how many years did it take Bryant? (I mean, Joe is in his 70's now, and will probably coach till he drops dead on the sidelines, so is it really a fair comparison? Is Paterno the "winningest" or more like the "coachingest"?) I've heard no talk about Paterno's losses vs. Bryant's losses over the years. Anyone have any info on that? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Mark Cohen Date: 29 Oct 01 - 05:42 PM Here's a Woody Allen filmography, 'Spaw. (Thread creep? Where? Let me at him!) His first "solo" film was actually "What's Up, Tiger Lily?", but that one was, shall we say, atypical. "Take the Money and Run" was his first "real" film, you're right. Gee, Sharon, you really know how to rain on a parade, don't you? ;) Joe has won more football games than has any other coach. The interpretation is up to you. Did McGwire, Sosa and Bonds really break Babe Ruth's home run record, since he played a 154 game season and they played 162? Again, the interpretation is up to you, or your favorite sportswriter. Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: lamarca Date: 29 Oct 01 - 06:58 PM Oh, boy, a chance to be curmudgeonly about one of my favorite BS topics - no, not Spaw's eating habits (by the way, has anyone ever looked at the recipes for possum and armadillo in the earlier editions of "Joy of Cooking"? Yes, they're really there...), but my standard diatribe against America's unconstitutionally established religion - pro sports. If you are an American, you are expected to:
1. Demonstrate an inexplicable loyalty to a group of entertainers who are hired by a wealthy individual (or corporation) for profit. I enjoy watching football, baseball and hockey, but sports teams today are purely businesses (even the so-called amateur college teams). The players, for the most part, are not part of the communities in which they're located - they come and go with the profit margins. Student athletes are bought and sold by big university athletic departments for as long as they are useful, then hung out to dry without a real education once their eligilbility is over - and God forbid if any of them actually expect a share of the obscene amounts of money the universities and television networks and shoe manufacturers trade as a result of their efforts. The people who really enjoy watching a given sport expect the rest of us to share their faith and subsidize the owners in order to keep their team happy. Indeed, in some places like Texas, football and religion are so closely intertwined that members of some communities defend their "right" to have a pregame Christian prayer on the grounds that it "protects" the student athletes from injuries. I've seen statistics that say that the amount of money spent on college and pro-sports related things in a year exceeds the amount budgeted for Education programs or NASA. So, while I realize this is totally off topic with regards to Joe Paterno and Spaw's dietary preferences, I just wanted to gripe about being an unbeliever, infidel and heretic in the true state-sponsored religion of the good-ol' USA. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Troll Date: 29 Oct 01 - 10:30 PM Thanks lamarca. You speak for a great many people who do not want to put their lives and careers on the line by revealing their TRUE feelings about our state religion. When the faithful catch you and tear you to pieces, there are those who will see to it that they (the pieces) receive a decent, if unhallowed, burial. Naturally, it will be done in secret and the grave will be unmarked to prevent its desecration. Of course, I will not be one of the ones who buries you. NO! I am not a heretic like you. I am a true believer! HOORAY FOR SPORTS Except golf. GOD what a bore. BUT HOORAY FOR EVERYTHING ELSE! Do you think they bought it? troll |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: Mark Cohen Date: 29 Oct 01 - 10:53 PM Three cheers, lamarca--I agree. And I also agree with whoever is going to point out that it was Roger Maris' record and not Babe Ruth's. But was the season 162 games in 1961? I don't think so. Gee, it's fun being a heretic sometimes! Aloha, Mark (who still can't understand why there are pro hockey teams in places like Anaheim, California...) |

Subject: RE: BS: Spaw Eats Crow....munch..munch..munch From: SharonA Date: 30 Oct 01 - 09:34 AM Yup, Mark, that's me; I'm just a cheerless old biddy. I throw fruit at parade floats, too. ;^) Actually, I did attend one – count 'em, one – football game at Beaver Stadium when I attended Penn State back in the late '70s. The people sitting in front of us were smoking marijuana, the smell of which drifted up to us; the people sitting behind us were drinking beer, the spray of which spattered down on us; and Papa Joe and his team lost the game. What fun. (What fun? Where?) I concur with lamarca's sentiments. I still like baseball, though... but not necessarily in a coliseum. |
