BS: CLEIGH O'POSSUM IS VERY MAD !!!!!!

Subject: CLEIGH O'POSSUM IS VERY MAD !!!!!!
From: GUEST,Cleigh O'Possum

YES I AM!!!

I'm even more than mad, I am INCENSED!!!! Completely insulted and just as mad as I can be!!!! I'm not angry with any of you but I am VERY MAD at Catspaw!!! I simply cannot believe he has been this cruel and lacking in all compassion for me.

As you all know, Catspaw has taken me everywhere with him and I've been able to meet a number of 'Catters. As a true 'Icon of Mudcat,' it's only right that I should get to meet other 'Catters and give them a free toot up my bum. BUT NOW..........Well, I never thought Catspaw would so completely forget me!!! Bill Sables and Sam and Ian all came and ate and played music and talked and.........

WHERE WAS I ??????????

I'll tell you where I was! I was at home sitting on my little shelf! Now I know that Catspaw has had a lot on his mind and all and the Yorkshire Boys were only here for a very short time, but I ask you, Is that any reason to forget the possum???? I should hope not! But alas, there I was, left alone. And when Mario was here I was in the next room, but did Catspaw come in and get me? NO!!! And Mario has my little sister too and I would so loved to have met him! I know that Catspaw loves me, but lately he has been very forgetful of me and it's hurt my feelings and made me a sad little clay possum. But the story gets even worse!!!!

When Catspaw and Karen came home, he at least shared with me the happenings of the time with Bill, Sam, and Ian that you all read about here on this thread. Well, that was OK I guess, but still not as good as meeting the boys! BUT THEN............Well, I don't know what to say! He reached in a bag and brought out this little statue of some naked boychild taking a piss!!!!! Please excuse my language, but I AM mad!!!! And do you know what he did with it? He put it on the shelf right next to me!!!!! It's supposed to be some model of a big statue in Belgium but I don't care. All I know is that now I have to share space with Wee Wille Winkie!

I didn't meet Mario. I didn't meet Bill, Sam, and Ian. And now I'm stuck with Leopold Littledick as a companion. It's not been a good two weeks for me gang and I just had to write and say so. Catspaw says he will do better and it will be like the old days, but I'm still mad right now and as a 'Mudcat Icon,' I thought I should let you all know.

I send you all my love fellow 'Catters.

Oh Cleigh. I am sorry. Spaw hasn't been himself lately. And now with this feud brewing between him and Kendall...well I just don't know. Why don't you suggest that he put Wee Willie in the bathroom - seems appropriate - or give him to Karen to keep with the David magnets. They too can flash their gear and threaten each other. How about it Spaw?

Oh dear, Cleigh, you puir thing. At least I hope he has the little boydick pointed away from you! You have all my sympathy, although to be fair, since he was having his teeth out, I don't think he was in any shape to blow you at all, even the night before.

Just be faithful and steadfast and be a little trooper and I'll bet Spaw will make it up to you when he gets back from the next go round. Maybe he'll even take to you the Getaway!! He'd be a fool to go there without you!

Catspaw says the stupid little whizzer is actually some statue or fountain in Brussells and I looked it up. Maybe if he'd dress up like in the photos on this website it would be OK, but right now he looks like the bottom picture and I am simply disgusted!

Catspaw tried to appease me with a toot up the butt and I thought it'd be a laugh, but he still has all of his front teeth so there wasn't a joke in it for me at all! So I'm still mad! He's just got to remember me more often......and get some clothes for that sillyass lil' pisser!

Dear Cleigh,

Just think of it this way old pal! You ARE a Mudcat icon in the best possible sense and I'm sure 'Spaw will continue to let all the good 'Catters have a tootle up your arse.

Dear Katlaughing has it about right old fella, this willie-waver could become an icon for all those REAL LITTLE PISSANTS that constantly get up poor 'Spaws nose. This would surely put him in thouroughly positive mood and I'm sure he'll give you a tootle any time you like!

Remember, what seems like adversity and an insult could actually be a blessing in disguise!

Don't forget that a big man clad in black leathers rode a very powerful motorbike indeed at high speed along Europe's most dangerous roads to rendevous with Bill in order to deliver this little rascal unto 'Spaw. Nobody would have done that unless they'd either had world domination in mind or the more noble intentions of ensuring that all the "little pissants" who pop up from time to time at Mudcat got a good soaking from THE MASTER PISSANT of all!

So try to think of it positively dear little friend!

Tootle-oo for now!

Dearest Cleigh,

as a social worker I think it only fitting that I should come and iniate a Possum Care Proceedings Assessment, with a view to taking you into care ( mine) and ensuring that you are treated in future with the love and respect that any small mammal needs in order to achieve his full, wind-assisted potential.

With respect to insisting you share your living quarters with a person or persons not of similar interests, age or indeed species, I feel this is a grave departure from those guidelines put in place to ensure your well-being and your carers have commited a serious breach of the responsibilities entrusted to them.Tell Spaw he may expect to hear from my department in the near future.

If you feel yourself to be in danger of physical harm, you can of course phone the ASPCP ( American Association for the Protection of Cleigh O'Possum) who will come and gun him down for the dog he is.

Your friend

Cleigh you could probably sell the little fella to one Dan Quayle, a one-time popular comedian who is known to have a weakness for small anatomically correct figures.

No idea where you'd find Mr Quayle today, but he doubtless has some important-sounding job which doesn' entail any actual responsibility or critical thinking skills. In fact, he might be in the basement of the White House.

That twitty little Robert Redford wannabee really ticked me off a few years back when he announced the HE KNEW that children are better off in traditional two parent homes.

Blondie with the vague blue eyes didn't have the balls to respond in person. I got a form letter telling me that the VP stands by his original statement.I am still angry!

Just thank goodness Spaw saved you from a shelf at the Ravens' Roadkill Cafe and gave you a nice, dry, warm pedestal type shelf, you ungrateful varmit. And think of how thoughtful Spaw was to get you a buddy to keep you company, even though he's always pissing at everything you say... at least you have company for the ennui.

How'd you like to be next to Spike, my porcupine ? He never gets the treatment you do !!! Well, once, but that required a visit to the vet. It was either that or dye the quills so that it looked like a natural 'stache.

So lighten up or I'll sic Spikey on 'ya and he fights dirty. I mean it, he's a porcupique. He s***s where he sleeps. Can't get tougher than that !

Good grief, if he had to bring something back from Belgium, why couldn't he have made it chocolate?!?

Well, Cleigh seems better today. He has been very encouraged by the postings of his friends here and I have taken his feelings to heart........I have moved "The Little Pissant" and promised good things to Cleigh so he's at least speaking to me again. We'll see.........

As to "The Little Pissant".........I believe that Mooman has it right! Indeed it was the Mooman who as the "Motorcyclist in Black" sent the Pissant my way via Bill Sables. To quote from his note accompanying him........

Perhaps since we have a few "pissants" of our own on the 'Cat, he could become a kind of Icon for them."

And with that I certainly agree! I think we need to award a "Little Pissant Award of Yellow Peril" to some of those who occasionally frequent the joint just to make them feel at home and to have an Icon of their very own!

I dunno' Sins.......If we include the Pissant, what is Cleigh going to think? That may not bother you all, but I have to live with him as well as the Pissant and you can see from this thread how mad he gets.

I think we should start fresh on this thing though. Previous pissants can be granted the honor should they reappear. Gargoyle for instance. And of course there was "Conrad Bladey,#1 Super Peasant(pissant)" who has been referred to as a pissant probably more than anyone else. Or perhaps "Guest#1" as the worst attempt at anonymous flaming ever seen here.

No, I think we need to start fresh.............Too many past possibilities.

If not I have a suggestion. After Spaw has recovered from his next adventure in hospital food you and he need to make a road trip together. Get out, just the two of you, with the wind blowing in your hair and not a care in the world. Things may be tense at first but before you know it all will be forgiven and you will be the best of friends.

Think about it.

It does seem a pity not to have the Order of the Golden Shower Walk of Fame (presumably in an alley somewhere back of a bar)so that homage can be paid to past masters. Even thinking about the induction ceremonies brings a warm gush of sentiment to the....

I see your point, Spaw. Before you know it, the flamingoes will want in and the 'possums. There might not be room for micca. Can't have that. Unless maybe, micca can pose with the the little boy, the way he posed with the bear...this has definite possibilities.

While on the subject of "GSs" , a few years ago we were having one of our perennial cocktail making sessions when a fairly straightlaced friend said that she had heard of this wonderful cocktail made from fresh peach or nectarine juice Apricot brandy and Champagne or Cava and lots of ice, we thought it sounded good and asked what it was called, she said "Golden Showers" and could not understand why the rest of us collapsed in helpless laughter, some one took her to one side and explained the OTHER meaning of the phrase...and she went very bright pink...

Cleigh,

Remember what I told you about sometimes having to show Catspaw who's boss. It's either on his Topsiders, or right in his stereo headphones. That'll give him some pissant behavior to think about.

Cleigh, I have written you a limerick, in the hopes it will help you feel better.

Cleigh O'Possum, clay possum, ain't dumb
He enjoys being blown up the bum
But when Spaw set beside him
An indelicate item
He felt slighted by his bum-blowing chum.

Flutter your eyelashes, Sins...sometimes that helps...*flutter*

There's a few I could think of for past shower honours, just to let the new inductees bask in the trickle down of past golden glories.

Poor Cleigh-Oh, it's gone from all about you, to not about you in a heartbeat. Never fear, pet, I'll start saving those little bamboo drink umbrellas from the tavern....

Cleigh, somewhere in my Barbie Doll collection is a yellow Ken slicker with your name on it. And when the "Turkey In The Straw" Turkey arrives, let him stand between you and naked boy. He's plush and can absorb a lot.

Dear Friends,

By popular consensus, "The Little Pissant" has been duly added to Mudcat photos on the Resources page, by kind courtesy of Pene Azul, replete with reference to Sinsull's award.

He may therefore be freely and conveniently used whenever the situation may arise (and let us hope that, mercifully, this will not be too often!)

Dearest Cleigh... I didn't mean to frighten you by saying I'd sic Spike on ya if you didn't lighten up on Spaw. In any case, no need to fear. Spike is on his way to Newfoundland to his new owner's wilderness lodge and will probably never see the mainland, or another porcupine, again (NF has no indigenous porcupines).

Funny thing about yard sales. I still have a bike, squash raquets, power tools, etc., for which nobody would give me more than a buck, but Spike went for an unbelievable price in a bidding war in less than an hour. I'm gonna miss Spike... he said while counting the twenty dollar billsss.

Dear Cleigh - I felt that this matter was simply too contentious for my sincere but still limited grasp of Midwestern American social mores, and that therefore I should consult the oracle instead.

Let me explain...

We have an oracle in Orillia, Ontario, down at the Park. People consult it regularly on difficult matters like this. It is said to be infallible. So...I did ask the oracle, and this is what it said.

(Ahem...)

"Dear Cleigh O'Possum...you runty little hollow-assed excuse for a blown rodent, you hairless sesquipedalian pissant posing as a shelf display, you brainless, titless, witless, feckless, non-organic subentity, shut your pathetic whining gob and learn to appreciate great European art objects when they are put before you. You make me ill! Get reamed or shut up!

That will be five dollars, please."

Sorry about this, Cleigh, but that's what it said...

My condolences...

I want to thank all of my wonderful friends at Mudcat for supporting me once again and I have forgiven Catspaw as I am sure he will no longer be so inattentive to my feelings. He has moved the Little Pissant and I am now learning to accept him as a member of the Mudcat Icon family. I guess it was just so many things piling up at one point that made me so mad.

I am also happy that the little pissants that show up here will now have an award and a messy Icon of their own and I won't have to deal with them nor will any of you. So I was wondering if it's OK, I would like to award the first honors to the Orillian Oracle......Okay?

BE IT KNOWN

The Little Pissant, Mudcat Icon, bestows upon the Oracle from Orillia

THE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN SHOWER

Try not to get too much on you Mr. Little Hawk when you deliver it.

I had to have Catspaw to the funny computer stuff for me and I hope it's OK? I was also wondering if the nasty little pissant who started the Orthodox Christian Joke thread shouldn't also get the Order of the Golden Shower?

you know, that site that spaw posted for Cleigh demands something called "Active-X" control in order to show you anything, and that seems to be Internet Explorer specific...and if I use IE, it messes up my settings for my newsreader, Agent...(yes, I can prove it) ..so, I do without some of the joys of life...

If I had MY way, ANY site that presumed to use cookies, Active-X, or Java would be required to have a non-gadget opening page that stated what programming goodies were in store and explained WHY and the consequences of allowing or NOT allowing those scripts.

Cleigh - The Orillia Oracle is not online for some reason...I guess oracles have to maintain a certain classical contempt for technology to keep up appearances, but I have arranged for a local computer store to setup a computer station in front of it, so it can witness your reply in full color, Should be interesting to see the reaction...

The Oracle is known as "Dear Crabby" in these parts, by the way, and has a devoted if somewhat alienated clientele. Some people think it's the spirit of Steven Leacock enshrined in stone.

Thanks for the "rowrbazzle!" aside. Great to see one of my favorite Walt Kellyisms in print again! I'm a lifelong Pogo fan and was just recently presented with my Dad's collection of oversized paperback collections, including Pogo's Sunday Punch, The Pogo Election Extra and a host of others.

Hey Cleigh - how do you fancy a little motorcycle trip? You could be transported across the US, with a log book and everyone you meet could toot your little butt and record their details in the log... Then maybe you could be DHF'd across the Pond and we could do it all up and down the UK...... We could do some stunts, like mid ride possum passing, high speed tooting and maybe even stand you on the handlebars...... Just imagine, the open road, the sun, sky, the wind up your ass, making you peep without the aid of lips.....

I'm up for it... if I ever get a bike....

Just a little public service announcement here: the Orillia Oracle, also known colloquially as "Dear Crabby" is offering a special for the months of July and August. Any question you have will be answered for a mere $4.50 Canadian. Exact change must be tendered, or you lose the excess. No refunds. Infallibility guaranteed. Come to Champlaine Park in beautiful downtown Orillia, Ontario, Canada, behind the Band Shell.

If Oddyseus was alive today, you can bet he'd be heading for Orillia right now!

Cheers,
