Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 29 May 03 - 09:32 PM A little known, obscure factoid! In the mid to late fifties, Shatner was considered THE figure-head of the Folk Movement. He was a prolific songwriter, penning such great songs as "We Are The Ones Who Are" and the politically scathing lampoon called "Women Who Spit". Burl Ives once called him "The man upon whom the future of Folk Music resides". Pete Seeger opened for Shatner at the infamous Bloomer, Arkansas Folk Festival of 1959. As an added note, in 1958, Shatner brought a young Welshman to America and introduced him to the Folkies and took him into the studio. The Welshman was an incredible banjo picker and was a hammered dulcimer whiz. From these sessions came the "Front Porch Pickin'" LP by Thomas Jones, with Shatner singing harmony and playing the hurdy-gurdy. Five years later, the young Welshman became a hot sex-symbol named Tom Jones, singing "What's New, Pussycat?" Inexplicably, Shatner dropped the Folk scene like a hot tamale when Henry Cabot Lodge ran for Vice-President. k |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 29 May 03 - 08:22 PM I believe he lives near there, Bruce. Why wouldn't he be there? Bill is a cool guy, and his presence adds lustre to any social occasion, so the Kerrville festival naturally took advantage of that by having him greet people as they arrived. - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 29 May 03 - 07:07 PM I'm still waiting for a logical explanation for why Shatner was at Kerrville. I could be waiting over on the "Shatner Sighted at Kerrville" thread, but this one needed refreshing anyway. Actually, I'm not waiting. I'm going to play music and won't be home for about six hours. If anybody has an answer, just post it anywhere. This thread, that thread, MOAB - doesn't matter - I'll find it. Bruce |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 28 May 03 - 11:37 PM Can you now see why I named Rustic rebel as the King's Purveyor of Beauty! She has an eerie knack for such things! Oh, hello, Bruce, welcome to the Cat! k |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Rustic Rebel Date: 28 May 03 - 10:43 PM For the interest of maintaining a semblance of sanity to this thread I would like to acknowledge the fact that whales fart, but I can't so I will instead submit this photo. Just for you Spaw. Rustic |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 28 May 03 - 10:23 PM Hi! My name is Bruce and I'm a Mudcatter. (Hi, Bruce!) By the grace of God and the through the things I've learned on the Mudcat Cafe, I have been a Mudcatter for 825 days. (Applause!) I don't really have anything I'd like to share tonight. I think I'll just listen. It's good to be here. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 28 May 03 - 10:13 PM There is no justification for continuing to post to this idiotic thread. None whatsoever. Everybody stop now, I say! Oh, shit. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 27 May 03 - 10:14 PM LH, I thought that quote was made famous by Tom Jones, who had stolen it from Harry Lee Wigley. bee-dubja, I believe people are beginning to realize why you are the Knower of Things! You continue to amaze me! Tweedzerz, wake up, it is yesterday already. Dammit, man! You have slept all the way through tomorrow! (Hey, didn't I say that next Friday? Hmmmmmm. Ain't that Dayja Vu?) k |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 27 May 03 - 10:12 PM I'd like to take this moment and speak on the matter of whale farts. Actually, I have no certain knowledge on the subject but can only extrapolate from other available data. Because we are close relatives, I would assume that whales fart. More to the point however, I have witnessed with my own eyes that manatees do indeed fart which lends additional credence to the concept of a whale fart. Manatee farts are quite impressive. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 27 May 03 - 07:57 PM Tweed, my man, how much did you drink on your pilgrimage to the Delta country? Khandu's posts were not eight minutes apart. They were twenty-three hours and fifty-two minutes apart. They were on different days! The thread almost slipped off the page! If that dreaded event had occurred, I would have had to bear part of the responsibility. For even though I live way out in the country where there is no cable and I have a crappy dial-up connection that refuses to even let me stay online at all if there is a thunderstorm within a day's drive and, yes, it was raining last night, the continuity of this thread is far more important than a mere individual's choice of lifestyle. If necessary, I will sell my humble country abode, abandon my pastoral lifestyle, and move to the vile concrete and crime-ridden city and live in a condominium so I can have a cable modem just so I can assume personal responsibility for the welfare of this thread. On second thought, screw this thread. I'm staying here. And, sure, whales fart. In fact, it was not an iceberg that sunk The Titanic. It was a huge frozen whale fart. That's why it was so difficult to see. It came rising up from the depths and popped up to the surface just in time for The Titanic to ram it. It's also quite possible that many of the disappearances in The Bermuda Triangle can be attributed to whale farts but I'll leave it up to some other whacko to work out exactly how. Bruce Bruce |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 27 May 03 - 12:22 PM Which brings to mind a vitally important question which perhaps only Spaw can supply the answer to. Do whales fart? - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Tweed Date: 26 May 03 - 11:55 PM Khandar, iz you somesorta magical clone person or somfin? I mek mention obv this only because yore posts are running conversely to normal time and the laist one iz placed eggzackerly 8 minutes before the secont to laist!! At this rate it won't never get to be pore Spaw's birfday until sometime two years ago. Mebbe Spaw will become younger an younger and turn back into an infant, and mebbe even further and become the world's mos' flattulant sperm cell or mebbe if it goes even further........ I cain't do it. I must go an lay down and rest my mind a while...... |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 26 May 03 - 08:11 PM Damn! That was close. This thread was at the very bottom of the BS section!!! We cannot let this fall outta sight!! Reflush! Reflush! Reflush! That's the word! k |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 25 May 03 - 08:19 PM I agree with LH. And I have it on good authority that Spaw loves a good kick in the balls! Ain't Life Grand? k |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 25 May 03 - 08:14 PM No, RR, don't do that. You might offend someone. By all means, go to Ohio and kick him in the balls. :-) - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: rangeroger Date: 25 May 03 - 07:40 PM This thread is now almost 100 posts behind the MOAB thread. This cannot be allowed to continue. As I have nothing to do today,I will add another post to bring it back up. This is the first Memorial Day Sunday in 17 years that I have NOT been at the Strawberry Music Festival, so I will have to support this thread until it is Spaw's birthday,or just go to Ohio and kick him in the balls. Maybe I'll just fart instead. rr |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 25 May 03 - 05:23 PM Another incredibly rare recording is the "Elvis Naked in Las Vegas" live album. I'll see if I can get some info on it too. - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 25 May 03 - 05:19 PM Thank you very much, LH, for the wonderful bit of info. I am certain Shatner and Dylan fans from all over the world are grateful and gratified. If is amazing to me that so few have the ability, as does Little Hawk, to see Greatness! I am delighted that we have such a one here at Mudcat that recognizes such outstanding examples of the best of humanity as Shatner and Harry Lee Wigley. This is truly a wonderful place! k |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 25 May 03 - 04:32 PM Damn! I've never even seen that Tom Jones album. I've got to go and visit Johhny Death and see if he's got it. He has a collection of at least 75,000 vinyl albums, and it's increasing all the time. Ah yes, the fabled Dylan/Shatner sessions. Well, yes, tempers got badly frayed. Some say it was mutual admiration that led to the altercation. Some say it was mutual contempt. Some say it was too much expensive Scotch whiskey (from Dylan's private stash). At any rate, Dylan, though being a small man, is wiry and tough. Apparently he wrestled Shatner to the studio floor and bounced his head off the linoleum a couple of times. (Dylan has had prior experience with this technique, having practiced it years ago on A.J.Weberman after Weberman was caught by Sara Dylan going through their garbage. Weberman is also bigger than Dylan, but he got trounced by his idol.) Studio personnel then separated them. Shatner was heard to say that he had not resorted to his starship captain karate moves out of respect for Dylan's place in popular music. "I would have destroyed him if I'd let loose," Bill said. "The only thing worse that I can imagine the world losing is me." Dylan said something too, but it was less polite than that... Various legal threats and counterthreats were then issued, but the matter was allowed to quietly die after Shatner agreed that the existing outtakes would be destroyed. Dark rumours persist, however, that 3 tapes survived, spirited out by a studio technician. If found, they would be worth their weight in just about anything at this point. I'd give anything for one of them, except a weekend with Winona Ryder...and I don't have that anyway, so it's a moot point. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 25 May 03 - 01:36 AM Possibly the moment of greatest disappointment in the musical arena was the day the Shatner/ Dylan recording session was cancelled. There are many rumors as to why it fell apart, but I believe the biggest stumbling block was humility. Both were so humbled by the presence of the other that they actually argued over who would get top billing. Dylan said it should be "Bill & Bob", Shatner said "Bob and Bill". When the difference of viewpoint evolved into a heated exchange, physical blows were thrown. It is unclear as to who threw the first punch. Perhaps Little Hawk has more info to add... A little known fact about these sessions was that the man chosen to play the banjo on several tracks was Tom Jones. Jones is an exceptional banjoist. Before he sold out to the "What's New, Pussycat" crap, he had released a bluegrass album entitled "Front Porch Pickin'". Unfortunately, the album was pulled from the shelves when Jones became the sex-symbol. His manager did not want such a babe-magnet to be associated with something as "hokey" as bluegrass. I heard the "Front Porch Pickin'" album while visiting a friend in Texas. It is mind-boggling! Jones' breakneck picking is incredible, and he actually had a fine bluegrass singing voice. I tried to purchase the album from my friend, but he would not depart with it. k |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 24 May 03 - 09:24 PM Well, dangit, even as I type, I was supposed to be in Como, MS tonight with the Tweedster and the Bobertz, listening to Slick Ballinger pick some mean blues. Instead, due to a malfunction in my car's electrical system, I am confined to posting on this thread! Sad times in Tupelo tonight! k |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 23 May 03 - 05:50 PM Well, you could make yourself a little ass deflector shield so that the fart blast exits between your legs. Then if you cut your balls off first the blast will cauterize the wound. Hope this helps!!! Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 23 May 03 - 04:00 PM I'm weighing the pros and cons of that right now, Spaw... - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 23 May 03 - 03:11 PM Hawk, now that you have been exposed to it I fully expect you to cut your balls off while igniting a fart. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 23 May 03 - 01:01 PM This thread is the most anticlimactic piece of nonsense I've seen in my entire life. I think if David Bowie had been exposed to such crap he might never have been inspired to write great songs like "Space Oddity". I think if Shakespeare had been exposed to such crap he would have committed suicide by injesting his own eyeballs and hanging himself. I think I'll go have lunch. See ya. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 21 May 03 - 06:30 PM Yeah Amos, they tested that thing on me, the whole diagnosis idea. They finally came back with a medical diagnosis that was less than what I would have expected out of such a professional group. "Based upon analysis of several reputable testing methods we believe that something crawled up your asshole and died." BTW, I heard from the Boys and it seems they ran into a problem with their Florida job for the Benny Bright bunch. I'm still trying to figure out the details but Cletus kept telling me something about their new potties were somehow "innaprorate" or something......... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 20 May 03 - 10:04 PM Amos, to answer the burning question, I have called the great minds of Mississippi to join me here to determine the number. But it may take time to give an approximate number, since the great minds have difficulty finding their way to Tupelo. BTW- p s ls! |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: darkriver Date: 20 May 03 - 03:37 AM Quoth khandu: I have "dissed" Amos, Bruce, Art, Tweed and others during the life of these two threads. I have been "dissed" by them also. Truly, I have meant absolutely no disrespect to any of you, because I respect all of you. This reminds me, kinda, of part of Sammy Davis Jr's autobiog, Yes, I Can, in which he quotes a conversation between Himself and Frank Sinatra:
"No, f*ck you!" I said. But the love and the respect was always there. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: Amos Date: 20 May 03 - 12:28 AM Well, your effing and ineffable Majesty, the one burning question that enquiring minds truly want to know is this: do you know how many personalities are battling for dominance in that thin-walled bonebox of yours? Or have you totally lost count? I think I have. Maybe they should hold a democratic election!!! :>) A First Vowel |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Spaw!!! From: khandu Date: 19 May 03 - 11:28 PM WARNING!! THIS POST IS NOT BS AND THEREFORE DOES NOT BELONG ON THIS THREAD. IF ANY FEEL IT SHOULD NOT BE HERE< READ NO FURTHER!!!WARNING!!! Because this and the MOAB thread are the most pure, undefiled BS I have had the pleasure to come across in quite some time, I have considered all postings and all statements made in the postings as BS. Personally, I did not take offense when artbrooks called me an "SOB" (which I am not!), and I trust that he did not take offense when I pronounced him the "King's Personal Bidet". I meant it in the spirit of BS. I consider artbrooks a fine fellow whom I would never disparage outside of this BS. In the same manner, I regard you all highly. I have enjoyed the inanities which have been posted here, believing it all to be done in the spirit of fun and silliness. Perhaps I crossed a line that I did not see. Perhaps I have given offense where none was intended. I have "dissed" Amos, Bruce, Art, Tweed and others during the life of these two threads. I have been "dissed" by them also. Truly, I have meant absolutely no disrespect to any of you, because I respect all of you. If there are any issues any of you would like to discuss with me, by all means, PM me. Ken NOW...BACK TO THE BS!! ...20 DAYS TILL SPAW'S BIRTHDAY!!! |
