(Just in case it didn't hit everywhere, I'm talking about an error message that's been on screen for the past day or so in place of the Mudcat.) |

29 Jan 00 - 09:02 PM (#170206) Subject: RE: BS: Thank God You're Back From: Áine Sorcha -- 'calls for a drink' indeed! What do you think I've been doing all day since the Mudcat wasn't around? (Just kidding!!) Actually, I had fun on that old fashioned email thang with my hero, Amos. You guys should hear this fella -- he sounds just like a young Johnny Cash! Oh, by the way, I'm the President of the Infamous Amos Fan Club -- if you want to join, you have to enter a song on the SONG CHALLENGE! thread. (Shameless plug, I know!) Along with playing in the ethernet with Amos, I wrote a song . . . But, I'm still glad I've got all my buddies back where they belong! -- Áine |

29 Jan 00 - 09:15 PM (#170214) Subject: RE: BS: Thank God You're Back From: Joe Offer Gee, I got two phone calls and three e-mail messages. I called Onstagemedia twice, because Barry Finn sounded desperate. Don't know if there was a need for me to call. So I did taxes instead. It was lookig really good, like I was going to get a $39,000 refund, which I couldn't quite believe. Then I found I made a typo, one little digit.... So, Uncle Sam, I guess I owe you, huh? Darn. -Joe Offer- |

I wandered as lonely as a cloud, checking back every half-hour to see if my world had come back on line. Max--you are a miracle worker! I'd don't know what happened but I salute your hard work to get it back up and running. All hail King Max--you must bow to King Max! We swear fealty to him and his amazing powers! LONG LIVE THE KING! --Mbo |

Nice to be back folks -did we miss anything? |

30 Jan 00 - 05:02 PM (#170603) Subject: RE: BS: Thank God You're Back From: Barry Finn Joe, thanks for trying to help me in my final last hours. I was ready to go to Bill Sable's farewell party at Alison's & when I went to go to my mudcat personnel page for the directions, Oh,Oh. I knew Jeri was headed there but I couldn't get through, she was at the moment trying to get to mudcat herself. Well, the only one I knew & had a phone # for was God's gift to Max's elfs, Joe Offer who got right on it, I called him back to let him know that I did finally get through to Jeri & got directions. My big fear was I wouldn't find Alison's & there be no mudcat to indulge my sorry self in. Barry |

Nothing works my heart is sad, I feel so lonely and I'm going to go mad. Max it's gone, the Mudcats lost, never mind the bloody cost. Fix it, mend it and bring it right back, cause there aint no singing in this here shack. Talk about stress and abuse, for computers I aint got no use. Please dont take my Chat room away, only just got it the other day. One little digit in the wrong place, lost the Mudcat to the human race. If you catch them and Max hears, he'll send them to Microsoft hell for a year. Dont you stray away again, a Kat not laughing is a sad sight, and a sailor crying will cause a fright. Mudcats back lets all cheer, I'll never go away from here. |

It's a great poem, and I think it'll work as a song. I think Amos or Mbo could come up with an appropriate tune for it, don't ya think? All you need is a chorus and we have to do something with the line 'Don't you stray again,' but I'm sure that we'll think of something. So, get to work on the chorus and I'm sure we can get this ditty ship-shape before we reach port! -- (Admiral) Áine

I think this political correctitude thing is going too far! The real question is, where you want to be on the food chain -- mousses don't eat cats. Not, at least, that they allow in public, although I have known some kinky mousses. I will workup some tune for Davie's inspiring words this evening.
