BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Little Hawk Date: 11 May 02 - 01:07 PM Happiness - I and the Board of Governors of the WSSBA (William Shatner School of BAAAD Acting) came up with the term "Shatnerization". It is defined as follows: "WE HAVE SHATNERIZATION" This expression is to be used whenever something unutterably stupid, vapid, pointless, silly, banal, tasteless, tacky, valueless or downright grotesque has occurred or has been said or done by someone... It could be something political, it could be a piece of music, it could be a post on the Mudcat, it could be Spaw's latest revelation concerning the state of his underwear...it could be almost anything. If it qualifies, then simply say: We Have Shatnerization!!! This will save you from wearing your fingers out typing long, long rebuttals, analyses, and diatribes that just repeat stuff you've already said before anyway. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: MudWeasel Date: 11 May 02 - 05:35 AM You folks are a twisted lot. I mean that in the best of possible ways, but it's true. I can only assume that the coolness and Mudcat prestige that is to be gained by agreeing with everything Spaw says is a sort of a cumulative deal, like the charity "donor levels" you see with some non-profits. I suggest the following fee-scale: Li'l Helper- $5 or less, plus a muted "yeah" whenever Spaw Posts. At the Li'l helper level you get a bumper sticker (blank) and a thank you letter from Cleigh. Coot Booster- $5-$50, plus an emphatic Amen whenever you see a post from Spaw. At this level you get a year's subscription to Loneliness Weekly and a federally endorsed personal hyegine exemption. Drone Bee- $50-$500, plus you must actively seek out Spaw's posts in order to write long-winded essays about why Spaw is always right (Unless he's still insisting we should kick Max in the Balls. This level of donation offers a year's stay at the NYCFTTS, and free classes at the Shatner School, as well as Possum-Ass-Blowing Priveleges. There used to be a "Queen Bee" level of donation, but I've just been informed that nobody qualifies except Spaw himself. If you're interested in contesting the title, please post photos of yourself, in drag, wearing a black and yellow striped body-stocking. Please send check or money order to the MudWeasel Savings & Loan, in Moss Beach, CA. Large wads of cash also gleefully accepted. -MW |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Pseudolus Date: 10 May 02 - 01:41 PM Would the phrase then be, "Kiss my Assets?" WAIT, does that make me a pathetic denizen?!?!?!?!? Damn.....or should I say, "You are correct sir!!!" Hard to do an Ed McMahon impression in print...*BG*

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: catspaw49 Date: 10 May 02 - 01:35 PM Say Centaur, if I suggest that you "Kiss My Ass" can I expect the same service? If so, you oughta' join. You could be a real asset around here................ Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Lonesome EJ Date: 10 May 02 - 12:39 PM OUCH!! Hey, damn it! That hurts! Now I won't be able to sit down the rest of the day. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: GUEST,Centaur Date: 10 May 02 - 12:36 PM Ok. You asked for it.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Lonesome EJ Date: 10 May 02 - 12:35 PM Ah, BITE ME, Guest Centaur! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: GUEST,Centaur Date: 10 May 02 - 12:32 PM Lonesome EJ, isn't it about time you stopped automatically praising everything that Catspew says, as if he's Johnny Carson and you are Ed Mcmahon? Does this gain you some sort of approval in the eyes of the other pathetic denizens of this supposed "folk and blues site"? Pah. YOU are the one who needs to be pilloried, you Mickey Spillane wannabe! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Lonesome EJ Date: 10 May 02 - 12:27 PM This is too funny Spaw. About time we imposed some kind of order on the trolls! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Mr Happy Date: 10 May 02 - 12:27 PM i've seen the term 'shatnerisation' on a number of threads lately and don't know what it meamns is it about captain kirk? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Paul from Hull Date: 10 May 02 - 12:15 PM Joe, maybe its been suggested before, but what about a Birthday Permathread? I seldom post to Birthday threads unless I have some kind of 'acquaintance' with the celebrant, just cos I'd feel a little 'insincere' otherwise (& thats just me - I dont doubt the sincerity of anyone who posts to them!) But a 'running thread' I'd feel less awkward about (& though people might be suprised (*G*) to hear me say it, I dont post to threads unless I feel its a 'contribution' to it) What do others think? It would be less BS 'clutter' for those who view Birthday threads that way... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Joe Offer Date: 10 May 02 - 11:45 AM Gee, there are FOUR birthday threads going today. With so many Mudcatters hanging around, we could even have more! What an interesting thing for a music forum to talk about! I wonder if these people ever figured out how to use personal messages. Mutter, mutter... -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: catspaw49 Date: 09 May 02 - 09:47 PM Tony Clifton was a figment of the imagination and it's a shame that Shatner isn't.......... Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Little Hawk Date: 09 May 02 - 09:32 PM Yes, and he's perverse too...but not quite perverse enough to fully appreciate the artistic preeminance of either Tony Clifton or William Shatner. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Little Hawk Date: 05 May 02 - 01:58 PM Well, hopefully...Igwig is a handsome beast, no doubt of that. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: artbrooks Date: 05 May 02 - 09:53 AM LH, just as a matter of curiosity, is ALL of Igwig rampant on that statue, or just one special part? You may be on to something for a Mudcat fund raiser!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Little Hawk Date: 04 May 02 - 11:26 PM This really should be made a Perma-thread, IMO. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: catspaw49 Date: 03 May 02 - 11:08 PM Yeah Mick I saw your problem with the "Slug" but I still felt as though you did The Firm proud! And there is of course that Mick.......something which no Guest has .........Corporate Designer Sportswear! Christ I busted a gut laughing! And it's for all seasons too.........I wrote to Alice and expressed additional thanks, now if I can just get ahold of El Swanno. Rick also received his and we need to send in pics of all of us (suitably attired) to Jeff and let him put up a "Special" in the photo section (I'll do a script for the captions). I think the fact that the stuff is so "professional" looking just makes it perfect. If you don't read it closely you'd assume it's from a law firm or some ad/insurance company or something...........Ain't it great to have completely crazed friends? For those of you who wonder what that was about, all will be revealed soon and you too will laugh your ass off!!!!! And you Pond Scum/Slug types will be overjoyed to see the real workings if the "Inner Clique." This will give y'all something to piss and moan about for years, so why not avoid the rush and have that coke and a smile and fuck-off now? Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Big Mick Date: 03 May 02 - 10:35 PM Spaw, whatever you do, don't call them a slug. You think you have them categorized correctly and right away that damn McGrath links you up to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Slugs. Now you are labelled a Queen Bee. I always thought you to be a Heterosexual Layabout Bee. I can't refer to them as slugs because on the Slug site, the slugs have names. I couldn't find one named GUEST. I guess we just have to stay with the pond scum. I don't know..........I'm headed for the hill. Get back to me on this, willya??? And how do you like your corporate designer wear?? Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Amos Date: 03 May 02 - 09:35 PM Just offer to play "Oh, Death" on the dulcimer, man -- they'll hire you up instanter as an auxiliary rider, and give you a bedsheet to call your own to boot!! LOL! And tape it for the Mudcat Sampler CD, you slug!!! :>)

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: khandu Date: 03 May 02 - 09:04 PM Actually, methinks Spaw is more of a "quean" than a "queen". But that is just MHO! "Me am, therefore, me thinks!" khandu |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: harpgirl Date: 03 May 02 - 12:00 PM ...why haven't any of you bozos contributed to my thread on versions of "Queen Bee"? I'm very disappointed in the gang of twelve and the gargoyle....Oh perhaps it is because I was too much of a wimp to get back on board...hmmmmm...money where your mouth is harpgirl....harpgirl |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Little Hawk Date: 03 May 02 - 11:25 AM It is no coincidence when a group of people with a demented sense of humour join forces...it's a conspiracy! GUEST is definitely on to something. Those folk enthusiasts totally lacking in a sense of humour, who are busy cataloguing the 350 different lyrical variations of "House Carpenter" are, of course, far too serious to waste their time on this sort of nonsense...and they will not be seen here, unless they drop in once to complain bitterly that this is a "Folk & Blues" forum...which it certainly is, and which is why I joined it in the first place. If it had been a hockey forum or a stock market forum, you would not see me here. Gareth - Well done! You have been inducted into the Order of the Golden Iguana for having correctly identified the scene as being from the movie "The Cruel Sea", and will shortly be receiving a small statue of Igwig the Iguana, rampant on a marble plaque. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Pseudolus Date: 03 May 02 - 09:38 AM I just realized, did someone call Spaw a Queen?!?!?!? Really?!?!?! OK, a princess maybe but a Queen? I think not.......

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: GUEST Date: 03 May 02 - 08:30 AM If Mudcatters could step back a bit and look objectively at this thread, they would see that many of the great Mudcat member trollers and flamers are (the only) posters contributing to this hilarious thread. Coincidence? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Gareth Date: 03 May 02 - 04:15 AM LH - What this has to do with Flamers, I do not know, but the Film was "The Cruel Sea" - A story of the Battle of the Atlantic. Gareth |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Amos Date: 02 May 02 - 10:16 PM Ya know LH, there might be a link between them, if we could only stretch our imaginations!! Wouldn't it be amazing if science some day shifted paradigns dramatically and uncovered the hidden connection between loneliness and not washing??? As for my posts, they are dripping with exclamation pouints. That isn't loneliness. Just because I raise my voice, doesn't mean I'm lonely!!!! See????!!!! And I have NO idea who scrawled my phone number in the Girl's Room at that truck stop in Transylvania. I bet it was Spaw, trying to mke me look lonely.... A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: khandu Date: 02 May 02 - 10:03 PM I LOVE this place!! khandu |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Little Hawk Date: 02 May 02 - 09:47 PM Good idea, Spaw. I think Amos is definitely lonely. His posts are just reeking with loneliness. I feel much better now, knowing that even though I am...lonely...I am not...alone. (If ya know what I mean.) There's strength in numbers. And in not washing. But that's different, eh? - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Sorcha Date: 02 May 02 - 09:46 PM But I NEED Spaw..........dont' take him away from me, pleeeeeeeze!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: catspaw49 Date: 02 May 02 - 09:32 PM My gawd Hawk....This is terrible! Not you too? Say it ain't so! I have a feeling Amos might be lonely too......and what about Pseudolus? This thing could be an epidemic.........Before we have any contests though, I think we need to contact the Center for Diseaese Control in Atlanta and let them know about this. This could present a serious health risk ya' know? First thing tomorrow I'm going to get on the phone and make a couple dozen calls and let people know I'm sad and lonely. You oughta' do the same. Then the CDC can contact all of them and see if they too are sad and lonely and that will help them analyze the extent of this possible epidemic. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Little Hawk Date: 02 May 02 - 09:17 PM This reminds me of the people Bob Dylan used to write about (in the mid-60's) who felt compelled to talk to other people about how much they didn't need Bob Dylan. "I don't need Bob Dylan one bit!" they would say. "In fact if he was here right now, I'd tell him just HOW MUCH I don't need him!" The trouble was, that after awhile they began to hate themselves for needing to talk so much to other people about how much they didn't need Bob Dylan, and then they started blaming Bob Dylan for it...and it sort of became a vicious circle. The same thing has been know to happen regarding William Shatner...and now Spaw. What does this mean? Has Spaw hit the Big Time??? Let's see who can outyawn who around here, and then cook up some kind of award for it...like a T-shirt saying: "I'm so bored I could just roll over and die." We could also have a loneliness contest. "I'm lonelier than you are." "Oh, no-o-o-o you're not!" "Am too!" "Betcher not!" "Well, look, I am, okay? I'm as lonely as a rooster in a pen full of rabbits." "Yeah, well, that's nothing! I'm lonelier than a rooster on a desert island with a TV that doesn't work, and no electricity either..." Whaddya think, Spaw? Who's lonelier? You...or me? Who is THE CHAMP??? The really disturbing thing about all this is that if the world turns on its side, giant tidal waves wipe out the coastal regions, and planetwide earthquakes destroy civilization as we know it...then the Mudcat will cease to exist...and...and...we won't be Queen Bees or Big Fish in this little pond any longer, and GUEST, Truthtroller won't even have the satisfaction of rubbing it in because...the Internet will be down! This is the sort of thing that makes Inner Clique people toss and turn at night. I don't mind saying that it's put me off my granola bars I'm so worried about it... - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Amos Date: 02 May 02 - 08:41 PM Now, Spaw, if yer gonna be in a little pool, choose some other incarnation -- those Queen Bees just get in all kinds of trouble when they tiptoe through the pond scum!! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: catspaw49 Date: 02 May 02 - 08:39 PM Send me some too. You say it's hell being sad and lonely (and I didn't even know I was) and if the pills have helped you over it (they have helped you I assume?), maybe I could give them a try. And I want you to know that I am being wholly sincere here when I say that you have helped me see myself in a new light. You have illuminated my plight of being a big fish (or Bee as it were) in a little pond.....or even worse, a tiny and virtually stagnant little pool. It's not much of a position is it?....**sigh**......Also I should apologize here for agreeing with you as this puts you in an even lesser position, kinda' like pond scum I guess. Sorry. I hope you too can adjust to this and both of us can move forward to greater understanding. I am forever in your debt. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 02 May 02 - 08:34 PM I'd say that last one was: Guest, with name Cynical Using an existing thread Attacking a single person Trolling/Flaming in the category Mudcat Clique |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: GUEST,Truthtroller Date: 02 May 02 - 07:27 PM Spaw, If you want to be Queen Bee go ahead. In the big picture does it really matter. A Queen Bee in a folk music post forum!!!!!! You see it comes back down to what I said at first................you're sad and lonely. Still that's the Gemimni for you, sad lonely insincere. If you had more depth I could be bothered. Now,where did I put those yawn pills? T.T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Amos Date: 02 May 02 - 06:41 PM Spaw: "Wake me up if anything interestinghappens" is kinda self contradictory in your case, doncha think? LOL!! Love ya, and your effing form, too! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: catspaw49 Date: 02 May 02 - 02:54 PM Geez, just to prove what a layabout I really am, I didn't bother to proofread and left out one of the firm in the process......That's Fielding, Lane, Patterson, and Swan. Wake me up if anything interesting happens........... Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: catspaw49 Date: 02 May 02 - 02:37 PM Truthtroller you messed up again! Look, how can I be suitably chastized and shamed if you don't fill out the form? I'm confused if you were flaming or not! I am of course a honcho/Queen Bee here and I do have some who agree with me which pleases me, so as your name suggests, you have imparted a truth, but where's the flame? Or was it a flame? See, if you'd just let us all know ahead of time we could give you a more satisfying response. As it is, you simply spoke the truth which I have no problem with. Fill out the form and try again. Nice song there Frank......Now if you can come up with the initiation fee and send it to harpgirl, I think we can process your application and get your Inner Clique Membership Card and Secret Decoder Ring in the mail right away! One thing on the Decoder Ring.......The firm of Fielding, Lane, Patterson......Layabouts-At-Large, have been working on the code for a long time now. The problem is that we can never get through a meeting without one or more of us nodding off and indeed we can't even all get together for a meeting! Just hold onto the ring though as I know we'll come up with something....sometime....maybe. Until then, feel free to do as the rest of the Inner Clique does and just blurt out whatever's on your mind. Spaw Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Little Hawk Date: 02 May 02 - 12:53 PM I believe...We Have Shatnerization!!! Name me the movie in which a man repeatedly says: "Good-O!!! Snorkers!" - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: The Great TROLL/FLAME Thread From: Pseudolus Date: 02 May 02 - 11:44 AM Sounds like a song opportunity......I felt the need to make this a music thread....*BG*
Are you lonesome Catspaw, Are you lonesome Catspaw
Are the keys on your keyboard, all faded and grey
Does your heart fill with pain, when they flame you again Frank P.S. Just kidding about that Inner Clique thing, although rumor has it I am #125324 on the waiting list to get in!!! |
