Subject: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: khandu Date: 31 Jul 04 - 02:56 PM It is with a heavy heart & a sad face that I have made this weighty decision. There will be no Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread this year. For months I have wrestled with this issue. It was only in the wee hours of this morning that I made the decision. My entourage tried to convince me to go on with the planned thread, but I could not do it in good faith. "Why?",you ask. Because of a percieved lack of interest on the part of my fellow Mudcateers. See EXHIBIT B to understand how I percieved this supposed lack of interest. Perhaps I am in error, as my entourage suggest. Perhaps it was just a lousy thread title that caused no one to open it & post to at. Perhaps. Nonetheless, I am greatly greived...not for myself, but for poor Joe Offer who, I am certain, has looked forward to this year's thread with great anticipation & much delight. Bless his poor broken heart! But, dear Joe, be of good cheer; the Joe Offer Birthmonth Celebration will nonetheless begin at midnight in the Ethereal Kingdom of Mississippi! And, perhaps I am completely wrong...perhaps this may yet become the JOE OFFER BIRTHMONTH THREAD of 2004!! Howbeit, have a HAPPY BIRTHMONTH, JOE OFFER!! khandu |

Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 31 Jul 04 - 03:44 PM Yore Dear Majesty, I saw that "Less than 3 months till JOBM Bash!!" thread but I thought "JOBM" stood for "Joyously Opulent Bowel Movement". That'd be a party where all you Mizzippi wankers get together and do a buncha Colonblow and see who can take the biggest dump. Not anything we Floribamians are into. I apologize for not opening the thread and researching the matter more extensively. I only hope that Joe Offer is not offended by your decision not to host a birthmonth thread for him this year. |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: open mike Date: 31 Jul 04 - 04:04 PM welcome back khandu--what a great occasion to come out of hibernation for --- not starting a birth month thread for Joe.. I hope someone does start one though, because he deserves it! |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 31 Jul 04 - 04:24 PM Nah! He don' deserve no steenkin' birthmonth thread! |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: John MacKenzie Date: 31 Jul 04 - 05:18 PM Birthmonth!!! What birthmonth? I never even heard of no Joe Offer. Giok |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: CarolC Date: 31 Jul 04 - 05:54 PM I think you ought to just go ahead and start a Happy Birthday thread for him now, khandu. I know he'd just love that. |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: CarolC Date: 31 Jul 04 - 05:57 PM (first ten or so times I saw the thread title for this thread, I thought it said, "No Joe Offer Birdmonth Thread", which sounded reasonable to me, his being a married man these days and all, and maybe he hasn't got the time or money to go on a month long birding trip to the Galapagos Islands or something like that) |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: Amos Date: 31 Jul 04 - 06:00 PM That being the case I will take this opportunity instead to wish Joe a happy birth-month. A |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: Joe Offer Date: 01 Aug 04 - 12:51 AM Gee. The birds and I thank you very much. -Joe Offer, growing older- |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: jacqui.c Date: 01 Aug 04 - 04:48 AM Happy Birthmonth Joe - it's nice to know I'm in such good company. |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: Rapparee Date: 01 Aug 04 - 02:57 PM Well, Khandu, I shall join you in the lack of interest in Joe's birthmonth thread. Were I interested I'd say "HAPPY BIRTHMONTH, JOE OFFER!" but I'm apathetic, like Khandu. (BTW, did you get the check or cheque yet?) |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: khandu Date: 01 Aug 04 - 07:22 PM I will check! |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: harpgirl Date: 01 Aug 04 - 07:49 PM ...the wisconsin whiner has a bird mouth????? huh???? he's always chirping about some "houscleaning thing"!!!! there's birddroppings in the litterbox!!!! do something about GS and MG Joe! Get rid of all those ridiculous threads! Hey birdmouth...stop eating and get back to work!!!!!! (ew, I may be channeling catspaw...his insides are caca!) |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: GUEST,MMario Date: 02 Aug 04 - 04:09 PM this outpouring of apathy will probably give Joe a semi-warm tingle - possibly in his left thumb or thereabouts... rather - perhaps we should concentrate on wishing him happy "not JOe Offer's Birth Month" during the eleven OTHER months... |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: khandu Date: 16 Aug 04 - 02:27 PM And TODAY is JOE OFFER'S BIRTH DAY!!!! Have a HAPPY!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: fat B****rd Date: 16 Aug 04 - 03:02 PM Happy Birthday Joe and much gratitude as usual. |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Aug 04 - 12:42 AM Today was my birthday? Dang, I missed it.... Close, khandu, but close only counts in horseshoes. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: khandu Date: 17 Aug 04 - 01:06 AM Haw, "but close only counts in horseshits"! This IS horseshits! (what? B? BS?? Hell I thought it was HS!) k |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: khandu Date: 17 Aug 04 - 01:22 AM Hell Joe, I tried! I don't know if it is the election, a contempt of you or a hatred for me, but I have not been able to rally the crowd 'round your birth celebration this year, no matter how hard I tried to whip them into a frenzy! Can you believe it? I actually had to PAY Tweed to go along with the Joe Offer Music Thread production!! Hell, the costs were not funded by the Women Who Spit nor the Random Axe of God! Not one cent! Every penny came from my pocket!! What do think that howling sound on the recording was? A dog? No! It was me, khandu, keening, not at the high costs, but at the low interest shown by our fellow Mudcateers! I don't know, Joe. Sometimes you piss on the cows,sometimes they piss on you. Hell Joe, I tried. Happy Birthday, pally, whenever the hell it is! k |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: open mike Date: 17 Aug 04 - 04:34 AM and i hope the air has cleared of smoke by now...some colfax area fire fighters were up here helping us with the oregon Gulch fire last week. i hoped that meant that it had cooled down over your way. |
Subject: RE: BS: No Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread !! From: alanabit Date: 18 Aug 04 - 03:33 PM Happy Birthday Joe. |
