I'll take CarolC.

Well, I think we could try to assess a spelling penalty on him/her, but I didn't find the post itself offensive and I doubt Carol will.

I can settle it, though-- I'm for BEER. Non-alcoholic, in my case, with Alaska Mike's recommended porter a close second.

Can we at least agree on THAT around here? Beer as our unanimous commonality?

No?

OK, music then. Can we agree on that?

Beer...beer is good. However, can we make a reasoned choice between ale, lager, stout and bitter? Personally, I don't care all that much for porter, but I will admit that barley wine has a lot going for it. And then, of course, there is always that minority which prefers a good strong cider.

Everything's Beautiful
In Its Own Way

When I look out over a green field of clover
Or watch the sun set at the end of the day
I get kind of moody when I see such beauty
And everything's beautiful in its own way


When I see a fountain flow from a mountain
Or see April showers bring flowers to May
I can't help but ponder; life is such a wonder
And everything's beautiful in its own way



Words can't describe what I feel inside
When I see the beauty in each coming day
What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold
And everything's beautiful in its own way



When I see the clouds form a black summer windstorm
That uproots the harvest and hurls it away
In the midst of such anger, destruction and danger
The storm's even beautiful in its own way



When I see leaves drop off from the treetop
Or see the snow fall on a cold winter's day
My thoughts seem to wander into the blue yonder
God made all things beautiful in their own way



Words can't describe what I feel inside
When I see the beauty in each coming day
What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold
And everything's beautiful in its own way
In its own way, in its own way

I "think" Repaire. And CarolC, And Bobert, And Alaska Mike, and Beardedbruce, and Georgiansilver, and The Villian, and Stilly River Sage and Joybell. Are all equally winners.

For am sure they know that no one is anymore beautiful or ugle than anyone else. And know its not what you have but what you do with what you got. As long as everyone is happy with themselves the rest is illusion, or interpretation and or opinions and we know what they say about opinions.

Well, Bruce. After giving it some thought I would have to agree that in a traditional beauty contest here on the 'Cat, CarolC, Tinker, KT, SussexCarole and Dani would probably be in the competition (apologies to any beauty I have left out). But have you ever seen a more beautiful woman than Rita Ferrara? Or Jacqui at her wedding? Or the sweet/tart Ebbie?
And in the male department, would anyone in her right mind prefer Tom Cruise to our resident teddy bear, Sandy Paton? Or the ever smiling Charlie Baum? Or Bobert, our resident "bad boy"? Why is Toy Boy Kendall always surrounded by his groupies?
Would any man here prefer the current Miss America to ANY real woman?
So...I am not offended by the thread. I am more beautiful now than I ever was at 25 and 125 lbs.

Okay, after participating in the Getaway Ladies Number, which definately had some serious parodies of beauty contest standards, I'd have to say that a selection of Mudcat Judges would by definition have alternative standards. I mean could you win if you were tone deaf ??? I'm not sure. I've found a pretty high level of "inner glow appriciation " among Mudcat men and women that would set traditional pagentry on it's ears.... I don't find the idea offensive. I guess cause my definition of beauty has grown along with my age...

Peace,

In days of yore, I started a thread called 'What Brand Of Condoms Do Mudcatters Prefer?' I did that only to point up how dumb and off the folk music topic threads were becoming! One of the few things that thread succeeded in doing was to draw more and more silly comments and posts to itself. The second thing it did was to start the ball rolling to divide the threads into music related ones and/or B.S. ones. More often than not, now, the BS threads turn either serious or funny. This, like many other of the B.S. threads, has become both 'serious' AND 'funny'. (You'll need a sense of humor to notice it though.)

i.e. How many (pick your nationality, or your political, or sexual, or philosophical preference, or economic system) does it take to screw in a light bulb?
ANSWER from the true believer: "That's not funny !!!!"

Peace, no, I wouldn't've started this thread. Why? Because over the years of my life, as I have aged and grown uglier, I have learned to look as deep as I can right away for the wonders within other people---and I hope they do the same with me. In the old days, though, I would've, as Joseph Campbell also said, been a slave to "the zeal of the loins!"   Now, I'm older and wiser, but because of M.S. alas it's a moot point...

I loved the 1960s !!! ;-) It was a great decade to be 20 years old within!!

OK, since you brought it up, here goes...

I have to say, just to flip the coin for a minute: I often wonder where in the world all you beautiful Mudcat men come from. This community is no cross-section of any life I'VE ever lived. One after another after another (and I will not name names) who are lovely, appealing, smart, funny, loving, genuinely good and gorgeous men. Now, would I pick their photos out of a centerfold gallery, sight unseen? Probably not. But one by one, as I meet and get to know them, I re-define beauty and love.

And, have you noticed? They're either alREADY well-married, or if they aren't, they get snapped up awful quick (Max, Joe, Kendall.... they're dropping like flies). Because SOMEONE has recognized that beauty and claimed it for their own.

Well. That said, I have to tell you one secret and obscure fact of my life....

I do have to say that CarolC is really attractive by a lot of different standards. I haven't seen everyone's photos though, and it is really difficult to compare different people's beauty. To pick a winner in any beauty contest you'd always have to use some kind of subjective measure.

Truly, the folks I met at the GETAWAY are as beautiful as one could EVER hope to meet in this lifetime! If one could capture on film, the radience shining from those hearts, THERE would be a picture of true beauty!! I loved every one of 'em and it had nothing to do with facial features.

Just today I was listening to a recording of one of those sessions. Warmed my heart all over again.

Wouldn't it be grand to have a MUDCAT gathering where ALL mudcatters could attend? (In a central location of course.....like, say, Seattle???) Now THAT would be beautiful!

Physical appearance can only go so far when calculating "beauty." Considering some of the heated arguments that go on around here and some of the nasty come-backs, I don't think anyone is eligible to win a beauty contest.

SRS,

That may be so, but some ladies sure are visual turn-ons. If that ain't beauty in the contest context that I, for one, grew up with, and learned to 'appreciate' back then, even if I now can see some shallowness there, then what is? Like with folk-songs, when I see/hear it, I can enjoy recognizing it for what it is on a basic level that just makes me feel real nice--even without Viagra (in the old days anyhow.)

And that is how I can say that my definition of folk-song is the correct definition. When I hear one, I know it, and recognize it for what it is. It's a folksong. And it's beautiful!!!!!
