02 Mar 00 - 02:07 PM (#188211) Subject: The Honor of Your Presence is Requested From: wysiwyg My offCat e-mail correspondence has resulted in an invitation to the Mudcat. I've explained that no one really speaks for Mudcat, and am passing the invite along for your consideration. So here's a cut/paste from Rhea, a sometime Mudcat visitor and the operator of a certain dancing pig site recently featured in the threads. (I've invited her to post away here at the 'Cat herself as well.) -- Praise RHEA'S INVITE Wed, 23 Feb 2000 05:22:43 -0500 I enjoyed my trip to Mudcat. Never heard of you folks until now. The piggies are much more adventurous than I am... they've dragged me all over the darn planet, in fact. Never could have guessed that would happen, but then perhaps I should have. After all, they are *flying* pigs. Don't worry about the escapees. They're usually pretty well behaved (and home before dawn). Much less trouble than the average teenager really. Send me the bill for damages, if there are any. -- Rhea Sun, 27 Feb 2000 19:26:41 -0500 I very much enjoyed my layover at the Mudcats site. Fun place to explore. My hubby and I are both blues fans, so I hope that when our lives settle down some (long story) we'll be able to spend some time hanging out with you folks. In the meantime, I've updated "Pigs in Clover." See: http://pages.prodigy.net/rheat1/pigpolka/clover.htm and "Holiday Pigs" and http://pages.prodigy.net/rheat1/pigpolka/holidaypigs.htm. Both these pages will change every month from now on. Would you and your fellow Mudcatters like to be the "Featured Fans" for April (see the "Pigs in Clover" page)? -- Rhea Mon, 28 Feb 2000 02:42:58 -0500 Subject: POSSUMS?!? Possums? You don't ask much, do you? Might as well ask for armadillos! LOL! Animated possums. Hmmm. Well, not that I know of. If you have animation software you could find some clipart and animate them yourself. POSSUMS? I take it you have a soft spot for them, eh? Actually, it could be fun. Possums baring their teeth, possums carrying their young on their backs, possums in the trees, possums rummaging through the garbage. I'll think about it. No promises. Would you please ask the Mudcatters if they'd like to be the PiP Featured Fans for April? They don't know me from Adam, after all. One way you could sell it to them is that my holiday theme for April will probably be April Fools. -- Rhea ... As you can see, clearly she's one of us already. Praise

03 Mar 00 - 01:09 PM (#188823) Subject: RE: The Honor of Your Presence is Requested From: GUEST,Rhea Hi Mudkitties, I'm so glad you guys are working on your consensus building skills! (Mom would be proud.) Just to clarify a bit (should the collective Mudcat conscious opt for Featured Fandom in the April edition of "Pigs in Clover")...
I wouldn't be naming names, or favorite mammals or musical instruments either. What I would like to do is have a statement (paragraph or two) about Mudcat, its mission, its history, its vision. All that fun stuff they teach ya in Jr. Management School. Only not so serious, right?
Now that I've confused you completely, please know that I don't need an answer right away. Take your time, mull it over, let me know in a week or so if you can.
Thanks! |

03 Mar 00 - 01:52 PM (#188848) Subject: RE: The Honor of Your Presence is Requested From: Gary T Aw, heck, Rhea, just plan on doing it. Contact me and I'll tell you where to send the check for $100.00 (just make sure you spell my name right). VBG |

03 Mar 00 - 03:03 PM (#188879) Subject: RE: The Honor of Your Presence is Requested From: catspaw49 Yeah....I wrote her and explained that I'm the dumbass with the possum, but I think the idea's good, kinda' cute I suppose....but I agree with kat......See Max first. Remember that there is, even for me, a more serious side of the place and that needs to be emphasized. We have some fine and NEEDED and useful contributors that might not see it as a good idea. Jusat an opinion...see Max. Spaw |

03 Mar 00 - 06:13 PM (#188988) Subject: RE: The Honor of Your Presence is Requested From: wysiwyg Yes, Spaw, but I have inside dope from Rhea that you have already sent her Cleigh's image to include. 1. Do you know he has to wear a pignose to be featured? 2. Do we want Spaw as our official rep? I say yes, but if not, better *send* a pic! *BG* |

03 Mar 00 - 06:44 PM (#189014) Subject: RE: The Honor of Your Presence is Requested From: catspaw49 Well Praise, tell her the picture was NOT for publication, but rather her education re: "what the possum thing is around here." Spaw |

03 Mar 00 - 08:26 PM (#189068) Subject: RE: The Honor of Your Presence is Requested From: GUEST,Rhea rheat1@prodigy.net Hello again Mudcaterpillars, So Max is what, the man behind the curtain, only I'm not supposed to ignore him? Hmm. I absolutely believe that there's a serious side to Mudcat, and as soon as someone sends me an URL where I can verify that information I'll believe it even more!
Hey, on a musical note
If you guys refuse PiP featured fandom I think I'll ask the Red Elvises. The worst they might do is bash me with a balalaika? Anybody know how to say 'pig' in Russian?
As for compensation Gary T (ahem) PiP is an unincorporated, unfunded, unofficial and decidedly unprofitable NPO. Gratuities and honoraria gratefully accepted at the door. |
