Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: wysiwyg Date: 24 Aug 05 - 03:53 PM With turds it's generally the experience that a turd-passing leaves one feeling better. I don't get the impression Sham's make him feel the least bit better, about anything. The internal contradictions in his posts are coming more often and more clearly-- words left out that, because they are not included, reverse the meaning of what he says. Posts where all the words are there, but the statements don't reconcile with other statements he's just made or that he makes a few posts later. Statements about the harms done to "all Mudcat" that are soon admitted as perceived harms done only to his own feelings. See for yourself-- it's all coming apart. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: Le Scaramouche Date: 24 Aug 05 - 04:30 PM "These anonymous ones do not need your sympathy or any protection from me - for they have the power not only to 'rip into us' but to impose their judgement upon our words - as and when they wish. Always assuming of course - Le Scaramouche - that you are one of these anonymous ones?" Be afraid, be very afraid...... I'm not a Joe Clone, I've neither the time nor patience to do so, having my hands full moderating several Yahoo groups. They may have the power to impose themselves upon our words, but have they? Wasn't the Marxist peasent called Roger too? |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: Janie Date: 24 Aug 05 - 07:39 PM I object strongly to all this thread creep. Let's get back on topic.... The Shambles is (are) still holding the hamsters (hampsters) hostage up there in space, we still don't know if the airbags worked, and Mick still has not posted a picture of himself done up as Dulcinea. How in the world can you think that Maine moose sh*t, blueberry pie or torpedo shaped dog turds have any bearing (baring) (burying-oops--that would be cat turds not moose turds) on the plight of rodents in general, or hampsters, gerbils, or the Mudcat in particular! (He may have kidnapped harpgirl--either that or they were in cahoots cuz she disappeared even before the hampsters.) Janie |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Aug 05 - 08:50 PM It's okay Janie.....Take all the time you want to figure it out. Or take all the turds you can stand.......Gets a bit odiferous but, uh........Hey! Stand? Gets? Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, each one she passes goes.....Ahhhhh. Sorry... Had an Antonio Carlos Jobim moment there at the mention of Stan Getz.......Ya' know when you read the words to that, you have to ask, was the girl from Ipanema getting ooooo's and ahhh's or was she walking down the beach farting? Which brings us back to the turds.... Spaw |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: Azizi Date: 24 Aug 05 - 09:09 PM Don't forget the bed bugs. And btw, why do people say "crazy as bedbugs" or is it just me that says that? Sometimes I wonder as I wander [which is from some song or the other. I couldn't have just made it up, I don't think [and that's a problem-the not thinking part, not the wandering part]. But just to add some culture to this mix and mash, speaking of wandering, the word "griot" that became known as a result of the "Roots" TV series usually translates as "wandering minstrel" and is a referent for the West African hereditary class of musicians/singers/historians. But "griots" is a French term and the African title used for this class of performing artists {male & female}in Senegal and The Gambia is "djaliba" or "jali". [source some books and some people from those cultures who I met up with along the way]. And now back to the poop...and the hampsters...and the kidnapping of Harpgirl {???!!!} and the spelling... and whatever else happens happens. |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Aug 05 - 10:32 PM Well Jerry, that's not exactly true. We had a riveting and informative discussion of Maine turds, their use and the proper way to stir them for maximum odiferous effect. Other questions have arisen regarding subjects as diverse as African word meanings, the lyrics of Antonio Carlos Jobim, and of course the personality of hedgehogs in withdrawal. All of these are for more enlightening and entertaining than the original subject of this thread.....whatever it was. Spaw |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: jacqui.c Date: 24 Aug 05 - 11:08 PM Sins - you have to accept that if you live in Maine your lawn is likely to be used for turd stirring sessions. Live with it lady. |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: Janie Date: 24 Aug 05 - 11:58 PM I gotta confess--as I read back through this thread my conscience begins to bother me. I have had some fun and laughs at the expense of becoming persecutory and abusive. I know that Roger has been persecutory, irrational and unreasonable toward the clones many times--but that doesn't make it ok to do the same. I have been just plain mean. It is a little disconcerting to realize that I have been having fun at some one else's expense. Roger, FWIW, I think you owe the clones and some others apologies for victimizing them. But that call is for you to make. AND, two wrongs don't make a right. I owe you an apology. I'm sorry to have contributed to the ridicule. In truth, Roger doesn't much bother me because 1. He has never directed his attention toward me, and 2. I don't read his posts-- historically I just skip over threads I see he has posted to a number of times. I do this in part because he obviously has some problems with reality testing, and in part because of the rancor that so often gets generated. He may start it, but it takes the rest of us to jump in. And jump in I did. And in this instance it wasn't even Roger who decided to start the pot boiling--it was harpgirl. Why she wanted to get something going is beyond me--she is too smart to have begun this unwittingly--but the rest of us, Roger included, picked up our own spoons and started stirring. I think it fitting that I close with the following: We have seen the enemy, and we are sh*t. (*BG*) Janie the Party Pooper |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: The Shambles Date: 25 Aug 05 - 02:11 AM I know that Roger has been persecutory, irrational and unreasonable toward the clones many times--but that doesn't make it ok to do the same. That you KNOW this to be the case is interesting as you also say... In truth, Roger doesn't much bother me because 1. He has never directed his attention toward me, and 2. I don't read his posts-- historically I just skip over threads I see he has posted to a number of times. But your move from finding posting to be "persecutory and abusive" to something more in the spirit of the traditional Mudcat spirit BC (before Catspaw) - if genuine - is to be welcomed. Perhaps some evidence to support the claims of these alleged persecutory, irrational and unreasonable posting towards anyone here from me can be provided? However - there has been much evidence provided here of persecutory, irrational and unreasonable behaviour from our volunteer fellow posters. This in the form of personal attacks - name calling - offensive language and general bullying towards their fellow posters and as this is setting an example for others to follow - there is no sign that this 'combat and chaos' is going to stop. Where is any evidence that I have responded in kind to these abusive personal attacks that are now encouraged to be publicly made against selected fellow posters? The request is a simple one..... The reaction to this request - which is personal judgement of those making the request and some of it abusive - is as unhelpful as it is now sadly predictable. |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: The Shambles Date: 25 Aug 05 - 05:31 AM I see yet another imposed thread closure. http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=84039&messages=2 I am sure will see no complaints about this imposition from the originator of this thread or perhaps they will now express a less charitable view of our anonymous volunteer fellow posters? Yes, Rog-o, as you can see it was redundant and covered by this thread. And no one was talking turds over there, so I exercised editorial control so that we can talk about turds. Stay on subject please. Mudelf |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Aug 05 - 06:28 AM I have no reason to want to spell turd so this thread will continue to work for our purposes of simply stirring and stinking. I can already spell turd. See? Turd. Since Maine seems to have a real thing going with the turd stirring and the pie, I need to ask if there is a corresponding group of other desserts? Or, like in Mince Meat, are there any main course selections in this category? Spaw |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: gnu Date: 25 Aug 05 - 06:50 AM Come to think of it, I have never seen beaver shit. I suppose, after a nice long sleep in the lodge, and, given the fact that they eat some of the roughest roughage there is, there isn't much chance of making it to dry land. I wonder if they have a "designated area" or if they just castor wherever. |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: Azizi Date: 25 Aug 05 - 06:58 AM Some of my thoughts on the merits of thread drift: If a topic becomes redundant,[as the original topic of this thread was IMO even before this thread began since it had been discussed ad nauseum on previous threads] then it is appropriate for members and guests to attempt to move the conversation to tangential and non-tangential topics which in & of themselves may be interesting, informative, and witty, and may also serve as a heads up to the person who repeats the same points over and over and over again that we got his message thank you very much, we don't agree, and now it's time for a change of subject. In summation, I believe that positive vibrations can be sent in any number of ways. Purposeful thread drift can be one of those ways. Azizi |

Listen closely outside a lodge and you can hear them farting...........BARK...BARK...BARK Spaw |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: Azizi Date: 25 Aug 05 - 07:09 AM I personally would have preferred a cleaner and less odorous topic than turds. Consider if you will the lotus flower. That beautiful flower emerges from the depths of muddy swamps. And I have it on good authority-well at least from some Internet sites, that the lotus is the only plant to fruit and flower simultaneously. Amazing! See this excerpt: "[the lotus] is [an ancient Egyptian] symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth. Because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. According to one creation myth it was a giant lotus which first rose out of the watery chaos at the beginning of time. From this giant lotus the sun itself rose on the first day. A symbol of Upper Egypt .The lotus flower played a prominent role in the version of the creation story that originated in Heliopolis. Before the universe came into being, there was an infinite ocean of inert water which constituted the primeval being named Nun. Out of Nun emerged a lotus flower, together with a single mound of dry land. The lotus blossoms opened, and out stepped the self-created sun god, Atum, as a child. A slightly different version of the creation story originated in Hermopolis. In that version, the sun god who formed himself from the chaos of Nun emerged from the lotus petals as Ra. The lotus is a flower which opens and closes each day. His history went on to say that the petals of the lotus blossom enfolded him when he returned to it each night. The lotus flower has been featured extensively throughout the art of ancient Egypt. In various works of art, you may see it held in the hand of a god or human, serving as a border to outline a section of the artwork, unfolding to reveal various gods or humans, and many other depictions. The ancient Egyptians from the 4th dynasty greatly valued the sacred lotus, in religious ceremonies and funerals." For more on the lotus flower, click HERE -snip- Another website suggests that people visualize the lotus inside themselves. I guess every body can have symbolic lotus [lotuses?} growing inside us because we all have an excess of mental and emotional and spiritual crapola, even if our physical crapola is well regulated. Okay, I'm off to try that visualization. Peace & love, Azizi |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Aug 05 - 07:12 AM I bow to your superior knowledge and lengthy personal research Spaw. They are trying to re-introduce beaver here in the Scottish highlands, and should I live long enough to see it I shall certainly make a point of listening outside their lodge to hear the sounds you see graphically describe. All those years without beavers; what a good job we have sheep! Giok ¦¬] |
