BS: Whine and Cheese

Subject: Whine and Cheese
From: Jim the Bart

Why, oh why, when there is so much important stuff that I could be doing (like searching for all those great source books that Joe Offer mentioned in the How's it Done thread), do I have to work?? What is wrong with this world? Can't everyone see that our posterity would benefit most if I was allowed to pursue my first love (MUSIC, not that girl in the third grade) or my recently discovered special purpose in life (composing the incontrovertibly worst pop song ever), rather than merely toiling to feed my family and myself and our cat??

WHERE IS THE JUSTICE? WHERE, THE HUMANITY??

Thanks, I needed that. Now it's your turn to post your whine here.
with love from BART, whose patron saint is also the patron saint of cheesemakers (Did He say "Blessed are the cheesemakers?")

Bart,
You obviously are not aware of the "No Whining" rule on Mudcat. We put up with threats, name calling, nonsense of any kind but NO WHINING. And to Spaw: Are you feeling OK? No "cut the cheese" comment?

I thought a simple thank you on behalf of Meebo was adequate Sins.........

But if I have to cut the whine, and Spaw has to cut the cheese, there'll be nothing left here at all. . .

If the Blues had been invented in Britain, it would have been called Whining.
Just thought I'd share........Bron. ;-)

SINSULL,

you are mistaken. There is no rule against whining, only an encouragement to pay Max a $5 fine for it!

Mbo does the song on HearMe!

BART!!!! Good job dumping that whine!!!! Now--- what is your plan to change the situation? (PM me if you have any doubt that it can be changed!)

I am refreshing a thread JUST FOR YOU. See if you can spot it.

Don't get me started today, buddy. I already feel like I could break something.

Praise - thanks for the kind thoughts and I will try to find the thread of which you speak, but I don't think anything really needed to be changed other than my attitude. I just felt like throwing a whine and cheese party and Friday seemed like a good day for it. Besides I felt like venting in a manner that didn't require anyone to light any candles. Speaking of which: Spaw, maybe you should ask Cletus or Reg to pull whatever critter's been hiding in that orifice out of there - I think it's done.

Actually, now that I've yawped my yawp I feel a whole lot better (I understand I owe Max some dough and it will be sent shortly). Now that I consider it, I doubt that "the horrors" of my job will inspire any respectable folk songs, although Stan Rogers did come up with a pretty good one about life in the corporate lanes. . . And I actually enjoy watching my family eat; those boys don't know it yet, but I'm going to be sitting at their table some day. And I had my fling at full time music, so I can't even complain about that!

So my advice to anyone who is in a rotten mood is simple: come on in to the party, bitch your bitch, rant your rant, whine your whine and then get over it. Get on with doing what you have to do. Better days always seem to come around eventually and you waste a lot of time when you just sit around waiting to get to the good parts. That's the cheese part of the program, folks - cause in My Humble Opinion, life couldn't be gouda.

PS to Spaw - sorry to hear about your furry friend; sounds like you guys had a pretty good 20 year run. . .

Yeah we did Bartholomew and thanks.

Yes I agree with you entirely. Better to let it all out and be done with it always. Makes for a tough life otherwise!

I did my whining on the "Songs for School" thread. Does anyone have a nice soothing song or poem they would like to help me out with? It doesn't have to be about school. (Awwwww.....come on..)

Sure Carol........try this....not exactly on point, but it fits for some........

I'm a dreamer by nature and I've always been
Tryin' to dream myself out of this world that I'm in.
In my dreams I escape all the troubles around.
And it ain't cost a penny for the pleasures I've found.

CH:
What is the part, that I play today?
A beggar, a businessman, king for a day?
I've played many the parts and I'm the first to agree,
That I'm still looking round for the man that is me.

I'm a dreamer by nature and I've always been,
Looking for something not there.
My financial condition don't bother my dreams,
'Cause in fairy tale money I'm my own millionaire.

CH------

In my dreams I'm a rich man but in real life I've hid,
From the fact that I got me a wife and a kid.
If I lose what I got, well then they lose it too.
Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do?

CH-----End.
The late and great....Jim Croce.

Bart: But I'm not unhappy. I'm never unhappy. I always agree with everyone and try not to bring up unpleasant things. I want everyone to be happy too. Thats why I'm going to put some of my medication in the city...Dang! Here comes the nurse. Later!
