As for being Morticia's sister, would you first explain to my ONLY sister how she had a second daughter (one with a FUCHSIA tattoo)so late in life. For the rest of it.. yeah, a trip to Hawaii in the middle of your winter seems like a good idea to me. The roses are blooming. Where are you?

10 Jan 01 - 11:08 AM (#372178) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Café Inner Clique Application From: catspaw49 First off all your applications must be sent to Skiff at the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed for verification and checking on matters of accuracy and spelling. Since Skiff's job at the Center usually results in his being more of a patient than an administrator, the process takes no time at all as he simply crayons an approval on everyone. Than the background check will be done by our resident private dick, Blake Madison. Blake buys all of his equipment at Radio Shack and all of it is maintained by Leej in the typical Radio Shack non-working order so he can't check jackshit and instead blows a hole in each app with his roscoe and sends them on. They are then forwarded to General Banjer for classification as he is the only 'Catter to have attained the 4 star rank of General F****P as well as holding a Medal of Honor for Actions Beyond Belief as an Incredible Dumbass. Banj has no class so he too forwards the info on right away. All apps are slid through the Tavern Jello pit, whacked with a tiple, and Cleigh O'Possum marks each in his own inimitable style and passes them to katlaughing who says three incantations while her garden faeries whizz all over them. What's left is sent on to the firm of Lane, Fielding, Patterson, and Swan, Layabouts_At-Large for final action. Since we never get started and never finish anything, anyone who has bothered to fill out an application is accepted as well as those who have only thought about it and also those who could care less. Your Official Membership Secret Decoder Capo will be forwarded to you as soon as we come up with one and since we never encode any messages, this is not a high priority and we are too freakin' sorry to get on with it. Welcome to the Inner Circle of Mudcat and all the dubious awards and honors and privileges which this status does not have are now yours. Spaw |

I have been forced to resort to clamping the entire stack in a vise,drilling a quarter-inch hole which I then fill with some plastique explosive which I had been saving for the Revolution since 1969,and then igniting same.In addition to being quite speedy,this processing method has the side benefit of reducing the afore mentioned applications to fragments which fit quite neatly in a number 10 envelope for forwarding to Banjer.

Where is Sperlonga? Cletus is: Flaming and character assault are: Rick Fielding is: Max is:
A sense of humo(u)r is: BS means: The number one rule to remember at Mudcat is: QUIZ PORTION - ESSAY QUESTION
I want to be a member of the Mudcat Café Inner Clique because (continue on back if necessary): I don't have a life and hafta hang out to dry in Cyberspace.
OATH PORTION
I hereby solemnly swear, affirm, and/or agree that, if selected by the Mudcat Café Inner Clique (MCIC) as a perspective member, I will uphold the laws, bylaws, and sacred taboos of the Mudcat Café Inner Clique (MCIC), never revealing them to non-Mudcat Café Inner Clique (MCIC) members, not even my dog, and eventually have them tattooed on my inner left thigh in bright fuchsia ink. I will attack all anonymous GUESTs at every available opportunity, and make as many inside jokes as my keyboard can stand. You know, (he sez with his fingers crossed behind his back) an oath never made an honest man of a liar, and an honest man needs no oath to force him to be truthful. And I ain't got a dog. (Fingers uncrossed now.) Honest.

12 Jan 01 - 04:58 PM (#373547) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Café Inner Clique Application From: Amos As long as we are in a Music Forum, the Inner Clique should reveal its charter Club Theme Song, which is introduced by a whining steel electric riff with double-time drumming in the background to a hot boogie-woogie beat:
Mudcat Cafe Number 16
Well Max says, "Just what d'ye want this site to say?" Well Old Man Spaw, he had a bloody nose Spaw sez, "Quick, man, show me the way!" Well Rick the FIeld said to Big Joe King, And he hands old Rick a blue clicky piece of Cleigh Now the fifteenth newbie on the fortieth thread But the Gaelic Goddess, she was having her way Regards,

13 Jan 01 - 01:53 PM (#373997) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Café Inner Clique Application From: R! Hi all! Word has it that Jimmy Hoffa is part of the foundation of the Meadowlands arena. I've never been there and so can't confirm. However, there is a Teamsters Hall just inside the town line and this past summer's election had the police force out in full. Our local force in squad cars, park police on horseback, county police driving prison transport busses, motorcycle police wearing mirrored sunglasses. The joint was crawling with coppers. The Philly TV stations all sent over reporters. Oh my, the excitement was palpable. (We're somewaht removed from the gangsters and thuggery) The teamsters voted but didn't riot and everyone else departed, dissapointed. We Jerseyites really can take a joke. ;-) Rowana |

13 Jan 01 - 04:32 PM (#374049) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Café Inner Clique Application From: CarolC Ahh... the symetrical perfection of being the 100th poster. I think that deserves a clique of its own. |

13 Jan 01 - 06:32 PM (#374111) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Café Inner Clique Application From: catspaw49 Ah yes Leej.....The stigma is removed from you Briarhoppers when WVA is mentioned. Why in West Virginia they actually DO teach the three R's......that's readin', ritin' and Rt.33 to Ohio. Although I relly don't understand why they'd wish to leave.......its the only state with the fly as its state bird! Two ol boys were headin'for Ohio one night and they got to the river and saw there was no bridge in sight. They shined their flashlight across to the Ohio shore and thought awhile about it. Finally, one said, "Hey! I got it! Shine your flashlight across and I'll walk over on the beam. Then I'll turn mine on and you can walk over on my beam." The other thought for a minute and replied, "Sounds like it would work, but I can't swim and I can't trust you. I'll get half way and you'll probably turn the damn flashlight off!" Spaw |
