I posted once, three days after the thread was started, because CarolC had a big announcement and I figured I knew what it was. I was trying to get her to spill the beans. Otherwise, I prefer to see a topic before I take up server time.

Add my name to the list..

Why haven't I posted to Mother of All BS..

Well,I just started to regularly scan & post below the BS line..


Besides- I'm on dial-up..which means I can't even get that huge threade .

But I'm gonna upgrade soon so ????

Anyway I guess I'll have to see for myself but since I can't right now..can anyone tell me what's the difference between the MOABS thread and the individual sometimes witty BS threads like those devoted to a particular kitchen utensil that starts with an 's', or a kitchen utensil whose initials are 'ss', or an object beginning with a 't' that is used to check if a person is hot...

Ms. 'zizi, there is a feature that loads 50 posts at a time. To the right of the thread title is the column showing the number of posts. Click an asterisked number to get the thread in batches of 50. Click the "d" to get the 50 with the most recent posts first.

Please feel free to stop by for a visit any time you'd like. I've had the children clean the place up a bit. They've promised to hold off on talking about things nobody understands, speaking French, using foul language, using foul language in French and such things for a few days. And Tweed is away for a few days so you don't need to worry about being greeted at the front door by a total idiot.

And signed by a laughing cow. Glad he posted that to this thread. We have very few rules at the Mother Of All BS Threads, but one hard and fast one is "No Posts By Laughing Cows! Particularly Those Speaking French!" And it's worked quite well up to this point. Over 6000 posts and nary a one by a French-speaking laughing cow. But, I fear the winds of change may be upon us...

Ah, but think of what you're missing! I actually like our exclusive set of posters--it's like a club over there! The banter among friends, few rules, and those rarely enforced, and we don't (until the unfortunate situation with the kitchen implements) usually bleed out into the rest of Mudcat. We save the clones a lot of grief by not starting new threads that later need to be lumped or sorted. Since I want to say this but I don't actually want to lure any new posters over, I'll put this up in our secret MOAB text.

azizi,
come on out of the cold and spend some time in 'paradise' with me. ill show you the sights, be your own personal tour guide and show you the wonders of this awesome place in the middle of the pacific ocean. there are benefits to having a friend in hawaii: no hotel bill, no restaurant bills (well maybe one or two), no puzzled looks on your face while you try to ask the bus driver to take you to a street with an hawaiian name, that the tourists cant pronounce. aloha, im waiting

(if you all want to seriously combat the CAPSLOCK problem, there is a setting in WIN XP that gives a little 'bleep' when you hit it)....but for all Windoze versions there is First Cap which will warn you, using any sound you choose, no matter where you typing....and you can set rules as to what it pays attention to.

It really does work,....freeware, of course...

Ok, I admit it, because I feel safe here. ;);)

Sometimes I go away from the 'cat for awhile, and when I come back, I look at MOAB. I read the last few posts to get the gist of the conversation and then I post my two bits. I'm sorry. I just couldn't read all those posts. However, I did read about the first 50, and who knows, I may yet read them all. :) I'm starting to get into the swing of things again this last stay.

Don't worry about it, Teresa. While you have to be crazy to post to the MOAB you don't have to be insane. Only an insane person would read the whole thing. Think of it as a chatroom in slow motion. You don't really need to know what's been said prior to your arrival. Disjointedness is not only allowed, but greatly admired.

MG, the MOAB is inexplicable. A self-aware thread propogated by those who post there. Few rules and little coherency -- much like Congress in that respect. But MOAB drips with wit and intelligence since politics and religion are verboten topics (if seriously proposed they will be ignored).

You do not need to read all of the posts, or any of the posts for that matter.

We put a cake out for anyone who comes over, but Bee-Dubya says we have to leave it out, especially if it rains. Something about green frosting, too.

And, since Martin mentioned it, the "You Must Leave Now" thread has evolved into a continuous stream-of-consciouness string of song lyrics. It's quite fun. All you need do is open it, read the last post, which will be a bit of song lyrics, and post another bit of lyrics that that post brings to mind. If the last post was "I gave my love a cherry that had no stone" I may respond with "Papa was a rolling stone" and the next person may chime in with "Rolling in my sweet baby's arms" etc. It's fun to check back several posts later and see what direction it's taken.

I have no idea why it's in the BS section since almost every post is lyrics to songs which would certainly make it a music thread in my humble estimation...

I have not posted to the "MOAB" thread. I prefer to keep my head "above the Line" to where really relevant threads are. Mudcat was intended to be a "music" forum, however, due to the fact that humans have gotten involve, the "BS" of humans has followed.

For years I have fought against the inanities & insanities that have pollutted this forum & have helped lower the once high standards that once were held sacred at the Cafe.

I finally won a small, but decisive, victory when I convinced (after much debate, I grant you!) the PTB to separate the BS from the worthwhile threads with a division line...Music related threads above & "BS" below, where it belongs!

Now I am on a mission (from the "BIG GUY"? Perhaps!) to see that the defiling "BS" threads are moved to a totally separate page!! Many of my Fellow Music-Loving Mudcateers have voiced via PM that they still detect the faint noxious odor or BS reeking through the Line of Separation & thereby distracting them from serious music-related study.

Pay attention, PTB...we are many yet we speak with one voice! "Separate Pages" is our chant..our vision...our quest!
