02 Dec 07 - 10:16 AM (#2206787) Subject: BS: Happy Anniversary Joe Offer!!! From: gnu It has recently been brought to my attention that Joe Offer was appointed by Max as moderator of The Mudcat Café Forum ten years ago in "late 1997". With all due respect, he is The Original "Clone", as some of us endearingly call the moderators here. Thanks, Joe. Hope you are around for many, many more years. Gary Owens |

02 Dec 07 - 11:03 AM (#2206814) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Anniversary Joe Offer!!! From: catspaw49 How the hell can Father JoeBro be a clone? He can be Joe and in point of fact is Joe. But he can't be a Joe Clone as he's the original Joe......or at least the original Joe in the context of Joe Clone clones.......or something like that whatever that was or is as the case is or isn't...........Geeziz Gnu, I thought you knew.......Wait...I'm not going there...
Oh yeah.....Happy to ya' Joe! |

02 Dec 07 - 11:38 AM (#2206844) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Anniversary Joe Offer!!! From: Alice I agree, Joe is the original and the rest are Clones of Joe, as the clone moniker was created on the forum for Joe helpers. Gee... ten years. Time does fly by. Alice |

From: katlaughing No, no, bobad, that's the Father as in "Father Joe Bro" so named in the Gospels according to Spawanimus, though the actual first reference is lost in the Aethers of the Old Testament of Mudcat,B.U. (before upgrade).:-) Happy, Joe. Glad we clones don't have to actually look like you! **bg** luvyakat |

And, for pedants who take umbridge of my coining, I watched the movie "History Boys" last night and unadjunctives will hence forth pour from my mouth like drool from a beagle dreaming of rabbits. As a matter of fact, I recently found out that my forefathers may have have immigrated to Ireland from Wales before ending up in the fly infested bog country of Kent County. (Ya gotta see the movie.) Spaw... I said DROOL. |

I so admire and respect the care, discernment, and forbearance with which you do your job here. After ten years, though, it seems reasonable to ask: Is this a labor of love, or are you a certified masochist? Janie |

02 Dec 07 - 11:15 PM (#2207277) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Anniversary Joe Offer!!! From: Joe Offer I have met Peter T., who was on Mudcat before I was. But yet, somehow I still can't believe he exists. Same with Spaw, for that matter. I travelled through the world's most complete and diverse collection of road kill to get to his doorstep, and I saw this person who claimed to be Catspaw, and I still can't believe he exists. As soon as I left their physical presence, they went back to being Spaw and Peter T., the Living Legends. I mean, you know what I'm saying? I've come to know a lot of Living Legends here, and, like, it's absolutely splendid. -Joe, the Original. Never was a clone, never will be- (but some day, I hope to be a Living Legend, like Peter T. and Spaw) |

As for the clones, Aeacus, Minos, and Rhadamanthus.... pathetic,
They permitted (promoted) the near Wiccan Watltz into Watuziland
As for yourself? You are a good ol egg that gave all you had to offer....and we honor you in this thread for a job well done.
Sincerely, |

04 Dec 07 - 04:34 PM (#2208573) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Anniversary Joe Offer!!! From: Rowan Many thanks and congratulations, Joe. But I'd like to ask you, publicly, a technical question. When I opened Mudcat this morning it was to a thread on "The Village Pump"; I posted a comment about the hamlet I came from (with its odd name and I suddenly noticed 'unusual' words being given the red underlining treatment that Word gives words it regards as misspellings. Is this just me or is there now a wonderful new opportunity for 'catters to display their erudition? Cheers, Rowan Who probably should have started a new thread but thought going to the sauce more fun.

05 Dec 07 - 10:06 AM (#2209089) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Anniversary Joe Offer!!! From: catspaw49 Joe, I hope you availed yourself of some of that fine roadkill. I shoulda' mentioned you were welcome to whatever you could stomach to load in your trunk. This is a very fine year for all types of varmints but this is also deer season and the cars might be taking a greater toll than the hunters. There must be half a dozen moderately bloated deer within a 3 mile radius. Hey! I could send you some. Once it passes a certain point there's no rush to use it. Just a bit more on the aged and gamey side of the taste spectrum. More than happy to shovel up one and send it your way along with a few coons and groundhogs. Your wife goes for that natural organic stuff doesn't she? I mean are you still drinking that mushroom tea? She oughta' love this stuff.....its real organic.....'bout as organic as you can get! Lemmee know..... Spaw |
