09 Feb 10 - 07:35 AM (#2833854) Subject: RE: Who is wordiest catter? From: wysiwyg I once thought of posting, pasted, a large and well-known dictionary of music. But then my head cooled down and, while cooler, prevailed. I do still have the text with HTML formatting inserted, around here on one of these hard disks, somewhere-- may still do it one day. What it was about-- A question had been asked (thread created) about the difference between a musical "apple" and a musical "orange." The only way to answer it accurately would have been to cite experts' music HISTORY for the 9-100 other fruits (and vegetables) in the garden, growing between the apple and the orange... The requestor, it turned out, didn't really want to "know" it "accurately" but only needed to resolve a practical way of approaching a logistics problem-- so I soon concluded that while the material was of great interest to many who had tried to answer the same question and found it hard to nail-- I had basically wasted my time trying to translate an available (expensive) print resource into Mud-HTMLese. === The long answer-- There's no satisfying some people, you know-- I get into a lot of trouble for long passages (from folks who are eager to label the hot air ballons carrying cargo, as "windy," so they can puncture the pretty balloons, let the wind escape, and crash the cargo). I get into MORE trouble when I post briefly (from other folks who look for the narrowest opportunity to get a mad on, or play "victim"). OTOH I get equal numbers of PMs thanking me for the long and short ones, who say that something has been useful to them in some way. === The short answer: I guess that altho one can't win, one can't really lose, either. YMMV. Most do. :~) ~Susan |

09 Feb 10 - 09:42 AM (#2834009) Subject: RE: Who is wordiest catter? From: Little Hawk The wordiest catter is undoubtedly my friend and verbal sparring partner, Amos, from San Diego. He can talk the paint OR the plaster off a brick wall, bore the balls off a Buffalo, and reduce most P.H.D.'s and English majors to complete stupefaction with his arcane and verbose exercises in bloviatory masturbation. He delights in composing tortuous paragraphs of complex analytical prose sprinkled throughout with quasi-scientific terminology and archaic expressions from the 19th century to baffle the uniniatated. He utilizes sesquipedalian language of an arcane and pretentious sort that utterly defies normal logical analysis and leads nowhere but down a rabbit hole of ever-increasing obscurity. What is his purpose? Who can say? Is it to impress others or is it merely to impress himself? Will we ever know? Do we really care? ;-) Anyway, I nominate Amos! (big grin) |

From: Little Hawk Well, it's good to see that Amos and I are both up relatively early, ready to regale the world with our combined brilliance... It so happens that there is a lovely conservation site with forest trails a mere 2 minutes drive from my place, and I've gotten into the habit lately of driving over there once a day and going for a half hour walk to get myself in shape and seek inspiration amidst the stands of old growth forest. It's minus sixteen celcius out there today, so the air is going to be very crisp. Good for clearing one's head. Amos will probably be kayaking in balmy seas, enjoying summer-like temperatures. (sigh) He doesn't deserve such good luck! Anyway, as I said, I'll shortly be seeking inspiration amongst the pines and maples. Wish me luck, Amos. |

09 Feb 10 - 12:18 PM (#2834179) Subject: RE: Who is wordiest catter? From: Little Hawk Oh, for heaven's sake! Now look here, Ebbie, there is a very good reason why I don't walk to the conservation site. Actually several good reasons. 1. It's too damned far away! Do you realize have far a car can go in 2 minutes (or thereabouts)? It may be more like 3 minutes. Or 4. I haven't exactly timed it. 2. I would be so tired by the time I finally got there that I'd have no energy left to walk the beautiful forest trails, which is where I WANT to do my walking. 3. The route from my house to the conservation site is along some quite busy 2-lane highways with traffic whipping by at about 60 miles an hour, 3 feet away from me as they go by, hurling slush, toxic exhaust, and buffeting wind in my general direction, plus the possibility that some drunk will drift onto the shoulder and hit me. Is it pleasant to walk in such conditions? NO! Now, the forest trails where I do choose to walk are silent (except for bird calls and the breeze rustling in the trees), peaceful, beautiful, and unpolluted, and I have solitude there away from the mad rush of humanity. The main loop trail which I walk around is about a mile long, and that's about the distance I like to walk at this point. Enough said. ******** Bill!!!!!!!!! That sentence you wrote to Shambles wins the prize. It's incredible. I've printed out a copy of it to laminate and hang on my office wall. It may be the greatest example of excessive wordiness combined with gentle satire in the history of mankind. You have rendered Amos completely moribund and obsolete. You have left me (almost) mute with admiration. I shall henceforth doff my hat in humble salute whenever we cross paths, aware that I am in the presence of a true Master. |

09 Feb 10 - 04:35 PM (#2834434) Subject: RE: Who is wordiest catter? From: Little Hawk The trouble with becoming numero uno in this particular category of behavioral addict is that it sends you straight down the road to carpal tunnel syndrome, dementia, eyesight problems, a sore neck and shoulders, and a loss of whatever real life you may have once had, as you join the ranks of those who seriously need to "get a life", as the saying goes... Thus it is a crown that no one can hold for very long, in my opinion. Or if they do, they are being extremely foolish. And that may be why former Mudcat verbosity champions sometimes have subsided into doing a great deal of "cut and paste", while others simply fade gradually from the scene...or disappear entirely. It might just be that they smartened up and "got a life" while there was still time left to do so! ;-D |

Small oblongs of soft grey fur on pussy willow, tightly curled leaves waiting for the sun to coax them to open, and new green growth on old trees. Of course, the older growth becomes tough and woody with age, much like the old fart denizens of web forums who don't care so much about posting anymore. Or perhaps they just grow up and are too busy to bring dragons strings and sealing wax, or string jewels of their words on a line for old friends. And no, I don't really think I'm a very good writer, but there have been those who've inspired me here. I'd much rather read volumes of their words than one venomous line from a bitter, spite-driven poster, and we've got enough of them about. It's not how much a person says but what they say and how they say it. |

Always have been...and yes, I know you weren't looking for compliments, but you just got one, so stick it on yer jumper and let it glow for a while... One of the reasons I LOVE Mudcat is because of the minds on here, and the great writers, and there are many wonderful wordsmiths on here who are absolute magic. They make me laugh out loud with their wit and at times, make me cry with their tenderness..and as for the craziness of this place, well, that's what makes Mudcat special.. :0) |

10 Feb 10 - 07:56 AM (#2834799) Subject: RE: Who is wordiest catter? From: freda underhill it's very satisfying to confabulate awhile, while meandering, perambulating even, along a winding way. Last night i and some friends waddled, wandered and wondered around Sydney harbour, and chatted, surmised and chinwagged as we pursued our mobile explorations of the sunset and light on the beautiful water. we later gathered at a small restaurant and continued our discussions, stretching meaning, pursuing innuendo, and mercilessly defying pontification. nothing like a good chinwag :-) I also vote for Amos, tho I reckon Bill's parasentence comes pretty close. and Ebbie, I wax mine too. freda |

From: freda underhill there are some who wax their eyebrows their chinhairs and their lyricals there are some who wax and wane while writing passages satirical there are those who scrub and polish waxing sentences empiical. I wax my day and wane my night, and polish a few miracles. gnite all :-) |

10 Feb 10 - 09:55 AM (#2834923) Subject: RE: Who is wordiest catter? From: Little Hawk As far as walking while using a car goes, I think the only way that can be done is the way Fred Flintstone did it. It would require considerably modifying the vehicle, but it would save on gas. |
