Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: Max Date: 24 Apr 02 - 11:18 AM Oh, thank you all so much. Started celebrating at midnight last night, and got an unexpected day off today. My gal went off to work this morning with both my sets of car keys. Bosslady said no sweat. Got a Web site to work on, but I doubt I'll get anything done today. Joe, you are thinking of my brother, David JoanBaez Spiegel. 30 years old. My peers here on the Cat are older and chide me for being so young, while here in 3d world my gal and all my peers are younger and tease me about being old. I tell them that I'm older and wiser and they just say I'm half right. I feel like I've lived a lot so far. I have a 12 year old daughter, a soon to be x-wife, a bald spot, extraordinary debt and a hangover. I think I've done pretty well so far, no regrets. I don't feel old. The Mudcat is one of my greatest sources of pride. Just yesterday I got a fax from a fellow in Israel looking for the lyrics to Galway Bay. I sent him a fax of the two versions we have in the DigiTrad and got a phone call with a thank you and a shalom. I felt good sending that fax. A Jew in Israel looking for an Irish song? Gladly. You all mean very much to me. I'm working to get my now mature life back on track, mostly financially, then I'm gonna go on a road/air/water trip to see every damn one of you. It has been my pleasure to have you all here, and I look forward to hosting you for another 30 years. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: GUEST Date: 24 Apr 02 - 07:56 AM ...celebrate the way the old blues masters do: a shot of whiskey; a shot o' leg; a gunshot wound; then write a song about it in the key of blue. Happy three-oh, from one on the fringe |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: michaelr Date: 24 Apr 02 - 02:02 AM Max, I marvel at your creation every time I log on here. I have seen the heights of knowledge and erudition; and the lows of pettiness and bad humor; not to mention the frequent bellylaughs. Happy birthday, and thanks for inviting me. Michael |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: Art Thieme Date: 24 Apr 02 - 01:12 AM Max, I left your birthday greeting on the thread titled something like WHY DON'T MAX GET VIRUSES?. Have a fine one! Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: Helen Date: 24 Apr 02 - 12:28 AM Birthday to the Max! Enjoy it, boyo! Life gets better after 30, in my humble (well, maybe not) opinion. Catspaw - thanks for the alert. Even if you are *still* trying to pretend to be a hardass. Well, Vegemite to you! (BTW, Vegemite is just an Oz plot to transform the world's population into Oz-stralians, and it's working on you! Helen) |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Apr 02 - 11:13 PM Max said something about having a daughter named Maxine Joanbaez Spiegel. As Big Mick can attest, the Coke I was drinking sprayed halfway across the room. Max, we're glad you're getting older. -Joe Offer- |

Happy Natal day...prosperity in all things throughout the year and thanks a bunch for keeping this place up and running. Everytime I hear Mississippi John Hurt, I have this little pang in my heart...I've gone to the doc to see what condition my condition was in, but he says it ain't nothing but a little pine'nin' and some shock therapy will put it right, but I know it's 'cause ol' MJH makes me think of MDS and how much I MISS hearing him wail away on those blues! So sing one for me, willya and here's a big {{{{SNOG}}}}} just for the Birthday luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: Paul G. Date: 23 Apr 02 - 10:27 PM Can't think of many better reasons to drop in from the vapor layer than to acknowledge the possibility that you're catching up to the rest of us, Max. Remember that it's a race we all lose eventually, so don't be in such a rush about it. Eat my dust, Paul |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: Amos Date: 23 Apr 02 - 09:53 PM ,All you who dream of royal rule, We offer here the perfect tool, To take the throne, by which we're lead! Of perfect form, and perfect head! Of style well-famed, and sweetly named And in the rhythm method trained! A leader who will steer you true Do all the things a King should do, And stand a Leader, no apprentice Erect and strong, to represent us! Of passion full, of drive inspiring Yet when unwanted, all retiring! Descendant of the Spiegel line, Well honored since the dawn of Time, And ever ready to renew The forebear's blood and marrow blue! Prepared to conquer, and to seek Where never tread mere folkies meek! To thrust and parry with the best, To drive us in untiring quest To strive, and dive, among the best! So folkies raise him to the throne And be ye ruled by this alone, Who rises to each hard occasion, Fit to lead our Mudcat Nation! Who shall it be? Who fits this mold? Should Max, then, be our leader bold? No! Let us not by Max be led -- For he is but a slug-a-bed! Let's vote for Max's tool, instead! His own, eternal peckerhead! Let cheers, acclaim, hosannahs sing -- We will be ruled by Max's Thing!! Happy Birthday, Max!! A |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: Jeri Date: 23 Apr 02 - 09:31 PM Happy Birthday Max! I love you for providing this wonderful website and bringing us together here. This is the most special place in the whole internet, and you're the most special of all special people of which I can think. You have done such an incredible, wonderful job of making a loving home for us on the web, and I just want to give you a big hug!!! You ARE my hero! Seriously, Happy Birthday and Bite Me. Spaw, you got some on your shoes... |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: Sorcha Date: 23 Apr 02 - 09:10 PM omigawd..........I didn't know he finally gets to hit the big 3-0.......go listen to some Taj, ma man. It only gets worse from here on out. Trust me on that. How's your daughter?? |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: catspaw49 Date: 23 Apr 02 - 09:07 PM Well the nauseous posts have already begun............. RRROOOWWWWWLLLLLFFFFFF .........anybody got some bicarb? Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: Rolfyboy6 Date: 23 Apr 02 - 09:05 PM A more sedate HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the blues crew and the Tweedboard. May your blues notes never fit the tempered scale and your rhythm always be on the ONE but have a second line too. |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: wysiwyg Date: 23 Apr 02 - 09:05 PM He's allowed to have birthdays? What, so we can pay tribute as he just gets cuter and cuter? ~Susan |
Subject: Happy Birthday--MAX DYLAN SPIEGEL From: catspaw49 Date: 23 Apr 02 - 08:58 PM Well another year has passed and so has my gas which made me think of you Maxie me lad. This is your big 3-0 isn't it? Christ, I have unused rubbers older than you are.....I doubt if we can ever top the birthday of the belly-dancers (Bert was better than the real one), but at least we can have a thread for you......Technically I guess the day is tomorrow, the 24th, but this gets the nightime crowd involved if any of them want to post......and of course they will. This will damn near kill every other thread that's running probably. A bigger bunch of suck-asses I have never encountered in one place before except perhaps in Dubya's Cabinet. As you are probably aware, Father Joebro detests these birthday threads since he feels they all say the same thing and he thinks it's silly. He's right of course............but fuck him! Generally I take it upon myself to assure that birthday threads have at least one different message by suggesting that the birthday boy or girl go suck the shell off a turtle or something. You are of course free to do that too. In your case though I fear that the messages will run along the lines of: Happy Birthday and Thank You Max for providing this wonderful website and bringing us together here. It is the most wonderful place on the net and you have done a great job! MAX for KING!!! Blah, blah, blah............ Pardon me while I hurl chunk.......... Yeah, that'll be about the way of it but now to appease Joe and be sure this isn't totally repetitious and boring, I am forced to say: You bite. Here's a swift kick in the balls for you from me......GOOOOMMMMPPHHH.........Well that about covers it. BTW, Cleigh sends his love and he still awaits a puff up his ass from you. Cletus, Paw, Buford, and the Reg Boys also send their best which don't amount to jackshit so don't get too excited about that either. Also the staff at the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed send their love...which means you need to watch your ass...literally. Well Max, I've said it all here.......and as the most prolific poster in the joint with 16,000 or so posts, I should have said it all by this time. Yeah, I'm proud to say that in all of those posts, damn near none of them made any sense and mainly dealt with the finer points of scatology. I know that I did post a few things worthwhile, but I'll be damned if I can find a one. Gawd knows this one sucks but what else could it do when you consider the subjecr matter? And if you still have a girl who will be caught dead with you, I hope you get a real bang out of your birthday, so to speak....... Much Love and Kiss My Ass, Spaw |
