Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: gnu Date: 06 Feb 05 - 08:17 AM I posted once, three days after the thread was started, because CarolC had a big announcement and I figured I knew what it was.

Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Azizi Date: 06 Feb 05 - 08:18 AM 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...

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. |

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... |

Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 06 Feb 05 - 01:18 PM 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. |

Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Teresa Date: 06 Feb 05 - 02:58 PM 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. Teresa |

Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 06 Feb 05 - 03:18 PM 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. |

Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Once Famous Date: 06 Feb 05 - 04:40 PM I haven't posted to it and have never opened it. I also have not posted to the You Must Leave Now thread. What are they really about? |
Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Rapparee Date: 06 Feb 05 - 05:24 PM 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. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Col K Date: 06 Feb 05 - 05:27 PM I don't think I have posted to it either, Or even opened it |
Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 06 Feb 05 - 05:41 PM 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... |

Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: khandu Date: 06 Feb 05 - 05:58 PM 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! khandu |
Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: CarolC Date: 06 Feb 05 - 08:06 PM I think it was Joe Offer who started the MOAB thread, if memory serves correctly. khandu, I think you are being unessarily harsh toward Joe. Now kiss and make up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: khandu Date: 06 Feb 05 - 08:21 PM Mrs. Carol the Sailor, I must admit that I am shocked & dismayed to hear that Joe (Mr. Birthday) Offer is the one that started this disgrace known as "MOAB"! It was he who gave complete & full support to me in my campaign for the "Line of Separation"! When others literally threw buckets of sinus drainage in my general direction, Joe Offer was there with a towel! When a large numbers of "BSers" took out a full page ad in "USA Today" denouncing me & publishing a picture of me sitting in a privy, Joe Offer offered all his resources for me to hire the great Attorney Flee Bailey to sue the miscreants! And now, you tell me this! Could it be...dare I even think it...is Joe Offer a double-dealer?? A Two-timer? A...wait a damn minute!!! You! You, Carol C!! You were the one in the picture pointing at me as I sat in the privy, exposing my private functions to the whole world!!! You!! HAW!!! Again, the BSers try to side-track me from my mission!! But, luckily, I was too clever to fall for it!! HAW!!! I laugh in your face, Mrs. Carol C the Sailor!! k |

Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 06 Feb 05 - 10:10 PM But one megathread that I won't be posting to any time soon is "In Every Thread Someone Must Be Last". Though it started out as a relatively communal effort, it appears to have devolved into one guy posting poetry and another guy telling him how good it is. Do either of them ever post to any other threads? |

I know I posted to it early on but not since it started getting so dadgum long it became intimidating. One dreary grey day I read something like four pages of it and thought, Nah. Life's too short. khandu, glad to hear you don't indulge in the inanities. (How's your kingdom doing?) *G* |

Subject: RE: BS: Who hasn't posted to Mother of all BS... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 06 Feb 05 - 11:05 PM Kind of like a soap opera? Yeah! That's the idea! Only funnier. And the only "person" we've gratuitously killed off has been an alien named Bubba-Bubba who looked like Heather Locklear. But it turned out he/she/it was really a giant fungus in disguise. When his/her/its visa expired and his/her/its own people, known as "Freds", tried to get him/her/it to board the spaceship for the trip home he/she/it pitched a temper tantrum and the city of Seattle was destroyed in a giant fireball. Unfortunately, before his/her/its demise he/she/it had mated in some weird ritual involving khandu, a Labrador Retriever and myself. The Lab depositted the eggs someplace in the Mojave Desert and we're waiting for them to hatch so we can see who gets hit with the paternity suit. Yep. Sounds like a soap opera, don't it? |

Not that I don't have opinions, but how many times and/or different ways does one need to express the same thing. I've said "George W.
