WARNING: WUZZUMS ALERT!!!!

Subject: WARNING: WUZZUMS ALERT!!!!
From: Peter T.

WARNING*****ALERT******WARNING

There are reports of a serious new virus called the WUZZUMS (acronym for Warm, Fuzzy, Mudcat Sludge). Be extremely careful downloading any threads, especially those containing words like "hug", "oogums", "press your pain to our bosom", etc.
TECHNICAL NOTES:

1) Wuzzums incrementally infect threads, progressively destroying all material. For example: "Pigmeat? You wanna know wat pigmeat is? It's about that warm and snuggumsy-kind of niceness and also it is very community oriented, sweetie puff."
2) Extensive use of wuzzums rapidly melts your hard drive, rendering it soft and furry. The SAQ (Sugar Amount Quantity) level of your computer overloads, and goos up your machine. At this point, the only thing to do is throw your computer away on the nearest hazardous waste site. Report this to local authorities.
3) Exposure to excessive wuzzums is known to lead to vomiting, bouts of flatulence, and expenditure of money on Stanley Kubrick films.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE! IT IS A DEADLY SERIOUS, SERIOUS --- WELL NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH TO BREAK THE VAST FURRY TOGETHERNESS LOVE BONDS THAT JOIN US IN ONE POSITIVE --AAACCKK, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!!! WUZZUMS ALERT!! SHIT...

Ahhahahah! Yes! IT worked! FINALLY, THE POLLYANNAS HAVE TAKEN OVER! (Maniacal laughter) We KNEW we'd get you, sooner or later. Like spiders we lurked in every thread, weaving our kindness and saccharine goo; technology be damned! Throw those mother boards out before it's too late. Turn to your REAL mothers, those of us with the bosoms of embrace, the candy-coated tongues, the syrupy voices that will lull you into oblivion! Ahahahaha!!!

Okay, now, Kitty-poo, just come along and noone will get hurt, that's right, put your arms in those long strapped holes, there now hug yourself, ummph, let me tighten those straps. Now, don't you feel better?

Sorry guys, I'll try not to let her get away before we get to Montana to the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed! Your everloving Katlaughing!

I get the distinct impression that katlaughing is the primary perpetrator of this wuzzums stuff, and she seems to be darn proud of herself. I just don't know what we're going to do with her. Maybe we should all be nasty for a week and see if she leaves us alone and lets us get back to our music...

"Yea, I guess he must be an addict, huh, doc?"
"You got that right, sister! And, you're gonna hafta make sure that Kitty-poo and her sidekick Pollyanna stay totally away from him!"
"But, doc! They LOVE him, in fact they LOVE everyone! It's so hard to keep them quiet! They just want to shout it from the rooftops, climb every mountain, just call to say it, just like muskrat love, they want to let everyone know just how much they are loved, because, doc, ya know Love makes the world go round! "Okay, boys, take her away. It looks like Kat just got pollyanna'd! Sure hope it doesn't take too long for her to recover. Put her in isolation and will see how she takes it!"

Muskrat Love
Captain & Tennille
Words and Music: Willis Alan Ramsay

Muskrat, Muskrat, candle light
Doing the town and doing it right in the evening
It's pretty pleasing
Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in Muskrat Land
And they shimmy... Sam is so skinny

And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singing and jinging a jango
Floating like the heavens above
Looks like Muskrat Love

Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese
Sam says to Suzie, Honey, would you please be my Mrs.
Suzie says yes with her kisses
Now he's tickling her fancy, rubbing her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now, anything goes as they wriggle,
Sue starts to giggle....

Subject: RE: WARNING: WUZZUMS ALERT!!!!
From: catspaw49

NO,NO,NO --- Not the paddles!!!

A couple of years ago after the bypass, I developed an atrial fibrilation which was fixed by a new technique called Cardiac Ablation. They map all the electrical impulses in a cardiac cath type procedure, then use a laser to burn away the unwanted ones. It took about 5 hours and you're in and out because at times they want you to respond and at other times they want you out. Two pads are attached (paddles) all the time because during the process your heart is often put in life threatening rhythms and they need to "ZAP" it. This happened 5 times during mine (my friend Wayne was assisting/observing) and they always want you OUT for the zaps. Well.....I was out for four.....Seems they had a little miscommunication shall we say.....

I AIN'T NEVER FELT NOTHIN' LIKE THAT IN MY WHOLE FRIGGIN' LIFE!!!!!!!!!! Like a 600 volt baseball bat to the chest!!!

NO PADDLES KAT------I'll think pure thoughts and things to keep my mind off elsewhere....like Rick bending over backwards ... NO PADDLES!!!!

Hey, I had a heart cath in 1979 and I don't EVER want to go through that, again! I cannot even imagine what 5 hours of what you described must've felt like. Pure agony, I am sure. Sorry if I brought up unpleasant memories.

Mudjack, there are way to many of you all getting together without the rest of us! I am really jealous, Mick & Caroline & Sandy & Art. Now you and Barbara!

Alice,

Aint' it amazing?? I think it's Mudcat's answer to urban living---and sprawl. Man's & woman's inhumanity to mans and womens (whatever). Every small town eventually gets it's gangs. Usually coincides with the building of a RED LOBSTER---somewhere out by the bypass. So if you've ever wondered why we humans are destined to die, it's so we don't have to deal with all the crud comin' down the pike.

Love,

Art

Sorry Spaw.... I hugged em all and did'nt share with you since I did'nt get to the PC til late today (Sun). Funny you mention it, Barbara mentioned Catspaw and two folks took off running down the lane before we caught their names. I know they were mudcatter's because they drooled from only side of their mouths.
We had ourselves a first class Mudcat gathering and looks like we recruited a few good folks from Portland Folklore Society. From the looks of whats been happening this week end, none to soon.
I hope I don't forget or overlook anyone , there was:
Blessings Barbara, our gracious hostess and family
Frank from Toledo(with family)
JR and Mrs
Sandy Bob and children
Mudjack and Mrs MJ(the boss)
We had simply the best gathering and a time to get to know one another's music and I'm here to tell you, these folks can sing and play songs like you've never heard.I thought of being their manager and taking the "Northwest Mudcat Review" on tour. The Portland Folklore Society has an abundance of talent and we Mudcatter's are soon to acquire their music expertise.These folks will give their fare share of contributions to the data base. Wuzzums to ya Catspaw....
Mudjack, who ran after them but could'nt catch em, oh, they drooled but were two young female beauties who I know needed to learn what a WUZZUM is.
